To the extent that any AerCap ordinary shares are not issued to Genesis shareholders that seek appraisal of their shares, such AerCap ordinary shares will be issued to persons who may be deemed to be underwriters pursuant to Rule 154(c) of the Securities Act and are being registered hereunder to cover resales from time to time after issuance to such persons, subject to the maximum number of shares that such persons have agreed to acquire pursuant to arrangements between AerCap and such persons as more fully described in our currently effective registration statement.
