Forward Looking Statements This presentation contains statements that constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Those statements appear in a number of places in this presentation and include statements regarding, among other matters, the state of the airline industry, our ability to access the capital and debt markets, our aircraft sales pipeline and expectations, changes in inflation and interest rates and other macroeconomic conditions and other factors affecting our financial condition or results of operations. Words such as “can,” “could,” “may,” “predicts,” “potential,” “will,” “projects,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates” and “should,” and variations of these words and similar expressions, are used in many cases to identify these forward-looking statements. Any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements, or industry results to vary materially from our future results, performance or achievements, or those of our industry, expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among others: • we have a significant amount of indebtedness, requiring a substantial portion of our cash flows to be dedicated to debt service payments, and we will require significant capital to satisfy our outstanding debt obligations as they come due; • despite our substantial indebtedness levels, we may still be able to incur significantly more debt, which could exacerbate the risks associated with our substantial debt; • changes in our cost of borrowing or interest rate increases may adversely affect our net income and our ability to compete in the marketplace; • any negative changes in our credit ratings may limit our ability to obtain financing or increase our borrowing costs; • our senior unsecured securities will be effectively subordinated to our secured debt to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; • the limited covenants applicable to our senior unsecured securities that may not provide protection against some events or developments that may affect our ability to repay such securities or the trading prices for such securities; • we may be unable to generate sufficient returns on our aircraft investments which may have an adverse impact on our net income; • failure to complete our planned aircraft sales could affect our net income and credit ratings and may lead us to use alternative sources of liquidity; • our business depends on the ability of aircraft manufacturers to remain financially stable; • if our aircraft become obsolete or experience a decline in customer demand, our ability to lease and sell those aircraft and our results of operations may be negatively impacted and may result in impairment charges; • potential conflicts of interest may arise from SMBC AC’s role as the exclusive servicer of our aircraft leased to non-U.S. airlines; • after the Merger, we no longer have an OEM orderbook, which may impact our ability to manage our aircraft portfolio and, if we are unable to obtain new and younger aircraft, it may increase our re-leasing risk and residual value risk; • aircraft have limited economic useful lives and depreciate over time and we may be required to record an impairment charge or sell aircraft for a price less than its depreciated book value which may impact our financial results; • we are dependent on the ability of our lessees to perform their payment and other obligations to us under our leases and their failure to do so may materially and adversely affect our financial results and cash flows; • we may experience increased competition from other aircraft lessors which may impact our ability to execute our long term strategy; • our lessees may fail to adequately insure our aircraft or fulfill their indemnity obligations, or we may not be able to adequately insure our aircraft or insurers may not fulfill their policy obligations, which may result in increased costs and liabilities; • other events affecting our business or the business of our lessees and aircraft manufacturers or their suppliers that are beyond our or their control, such as the threat or realization of epidemic diseases, natural disasters, terrorist attacks, war or armed hostilities between countries or non-state actors; and • any additional factors discussed under “Part I — Item 1A. Risk Factors,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, “Part II — Item 1A. Risk Factors,” in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 and other Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings, including future SEC filings. All forward-looking statements are necessarily only estimates of future results, and there can be no assurance that actual results will not differ materially from expectations. You are therefore cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements. Any forward looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we do not intend and undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking information to reflect actual results or events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. The Company has an effective registration statement (including a prospectus) with the SEC. Before you invest in any offering of the Company’s securities, you should read the prospectus in that registration statement and other documents the Company has filed with the SEC for more complete information about the Company and any such offering.

Non-GAAP Measures In addition to financial results prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, this presentation contains certain non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted net income before income taxes and adjusted D/E. Management believes that adjusted net income before income taxes is helpful in evaluating the operating performance of our ongoing operations and identifying trends in our performance, because it removes the effects of certain non-cash items, and other items that we do not believe are indicative of our ongoing operations. In addition, management believes that adjusted D/E, which is defined as adjusted debt divided by adjusted equity, may further assist investors in their understanding of our capital structure and leverage. However, these non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our operating results, cash flows or leverage as reported under GAAP. Adjusted net income before income taxes does not reflect our cash expenditures or changes in our cash requirements for our working capital needs. In addition, our calculation of adjusted net income before income taxes and adjusted D/E may differ from the adjusted net income before income taxes and adjusted D/E, or analogous calculations of other companies in our industry, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure. Investors and potential investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures with their most direct comparable GAAP financial results set forth in the Appendix section, other than we are not providing a reconciliation for our non-GAAP adjusted D/E target, as we are unable to provide a meaningful calculation or estimation of reconciling items without unreasonable effort. This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing or amount of items that would impact GAAP debt to equity that have not yet occurred, are out of our control or cannot be reasonably predicted. Forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures provided without the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures may vary materially from the corresponding GAAP financial measures. In addition, although U.S. GAAP requires that we report our results for the “predecessor” period before the merger and the “successor” period after the merger separately, our discussion of our second quarter results reflects the non-GAAP combined results of the predecessor and successor periods in order to compare and discuss such results with our second quarter 2025 results. The combined results for second quarter of 2026 represent the sum of the reported amounts for the predecessor period from April 1, 2026 through April 7, 2026 and the successor period from April 8, 2026 through June 30, 2026. These combined results of operations are not considered to be prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and have not been prepared as pro forma results under applicable regulations. The non-GAAP combined results do not reflect the actual results we would have achieved had the acquisition occurred at the beginning of fiscal year 2026 and are not necessarily indicative of future results.
