Bank Financings
In June 2016, we entered into a seven-year, full recourse $434,250 floating rate financing with BNP Paribas, Credit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank and certain other banks for eighteen aircraft. As of September 30, 2016, we funded sixteen aircraft with an outstanding balance of $372,784 under this facility.  Funding for the final two aircraft was in October 2016 for $54,900.

Unsecured Debt Financings:
DBJ Term Loan
In March 2016, we entered into a $120,000 floating rate three-year term loan commitment with Development Bank of Japan Inc. and certain other banks (the “DBJ Term Loan”). This loan was funded in April 2016.
Senior Notes due 2023
On March 21, 2016, Aircastle issued $500,000 aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes due 2023 (the "Senior Notes due 2023") at par. The Senior Notes due 2023 will mature on April 1, 2023 and bear interest at the rate of 5.00% per annum, payable semi-annually on April 1 and October 1 of each year, commencing on October 1, 2016. Interest accrues on the Senior Notes due 2023 from March 24, 2016.
We may redeem the Senior Notes due 2023 at any time at a redemption price equal to (a) 100% of the principal amount of the notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date and (b) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the notes from the redemption date through the maturity date of the notes (computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate (as defined in the indenture governing the notes) as of such redemption date plus 50 basis points). In addition, prior to April 1, 2019, we may redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes issued under the indenture at a redemption price equal to 105% plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date, with the net proceeds of certain equity offerings. If the Company undergoes a change of control, it must offer to repurchase the Senior Notes due 2023 at 101% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The Senior Notes due 2023 are not guaranteed by any of the Company's subsidiaries or any third-party.
Revolving Credit Facility
On March 29, 2016, we increased the size of our unsecured Revolving Credit Facility from $600,000 to $675,000 and extended its maturity by one year to May 2020. At September 30, 2016, we had no amounts outstanding under this facility.
As of September 30, 2016, we are in compliance with all applicable covenants in all of our financings.
