ITEM 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER.

The information in this Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment No. 2”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D (the “Original Schedule 13D”) filed on November 10, 2021 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) by General Electric Company (“GE”), GE Capital Global Holdings, LLC (“GE Capital Global Holdings”) and GE Capital US Holdings, Inc. (“GE Capital US Holdings” and, together with GE and GE Capital Global Holdings, the “Reporting Persons”), as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Original Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on March 13, 2023 (together with the Original Schedule 13D, the “Original Filings”) relating to the beneficial ownership of stock, nominal value EUR 0.01 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”), of AerCap Holdings N.V., a Netherlands public limited liability company (the “Issuer”), which has its principal executive offices at AerCap House, 65 St. Stephen’s Green, Dublin D02 YX20, Ireland.

Except as set forth herein, the Original Filings remain unmodified. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule 13D have the meanings ascribed to them in the Original Filings.

ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

The response to Item 5(c) of this Amendment No. 2 is incorporated by reference herein.

The response to Item 6 of this Amendment No. 2 is incorporated by reference herein. 

ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:

(a) The aggregate number and percentage of the Ordinary Shares (the securities identified pursuant to Item 1 of this Amendment No. 2) that are beneficially owned by each of the Reporting Persons is set forth in boxes (11) and (13) of the cover pages to this Amendment No. 2 for each of the Reporting Persons, and such information is incorporated herein by reference. Such Ordinary Shares represent approximately 14.5% of the outstanding Ordinary Shares. Such percentage is calculated based on a total of 213,677,961 shares outstanding after the Secondary Offering (as defined below) (and such number is based on a total of (i) 231,548,669 Ordinary Shares outstanding as of September 8, 2023 and the Issuer repurchasing 17,543,250 of the Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Concurrent Share Repurchase (as defined below), in each case as disclosed in the Issuer’s prospectus supplement dated September 11, 2023, and (ii) the Issuer repurchasing 327,458 Ordinary Shares on September 13, 2023 and September 14, 2023 pursuant to Section 3.5 of the Shareholders’ Agreement).

To the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, none of the individuals listed on Schedules I through III hereto own any Ordinary Shares.

(b) The number of Ordinary Shares as to which each of the Reporting Persons has sole voting power, shared voting power, sole dispositive power and shared dispositive power is set forth in boxes (7), (8), (9) and (10), respectively, on the cover page to this Amendment No. 2 for each of the Reporting Persons, and such information is incorporated herein by reference.

(c) On September 14, 2023 (the “Closing Date”), GE Capital US Holdings sold 46,782,000 Ordinary Shares to the underwriters and the Issuer repurchased 17,543,250 of such Ordinary Shares from the underwriters, pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement as described in Item 6 to this Amendment No. 2.

From May 3, 2023 to September 14, 2023, GE Capital US Holdings sold 1,881,126 Ordinary Shares to the Issuer (the “Repurchases”) in a series of private transactions pursuant to Section 3.5 of the Shareholders’ Agreement. The Repurchases were consummated at prices ranging from $55.75 to $64.89 per share.

No other transactions involving Ordinary Shares were effected during the past sixty days.

(d) No person is known to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, Ordinary Shares held by the Reporting Persons other than each of the Reporting Persons.

(e) Not applicable.
