Air Lease Corporation has approved the acceleration of certain compensation payments and equity vesting for its named executive officers, including John L. Plueger, Grant A. Levy, Carol H. Forsyte, and Gregory B. Willis, in connection with its pending merger with Sumisho Air Lease Corporation. The accelerated payments include the executives’ target 2025 annual cash bonuses and, for Mr. Plueger, the vesting and settlement of a total of 143,642 shares of company stock based on estimated performance achievement levels. These actions are intended to preserve compensation-related corporate income tax deductions and to address potential excise tax liabilities arising from the merger. Each executive has entered into a Clawback Agreement requiring repayment or adjustment of the accelerated amounts under certain conditions.
