Air Lease Secures Final Regulatory Approval for $65.00 Cash Merger, Closing Expected April 8
summarizeSummary
Air Lease announced the receipt of final regulatory approval for its pending merger with a subsidiary of Sumisho Air Lease Corporation DAC. This critical development satisfies a key condition to closing the previously announced $65.00 per share cash merger, which was also confirmed in the company's recent 10-K filing. The final approval significantly de-risks the transaction for shareholders and arbitrageurs, especially as the stock is trading very close to the offer price. Air Lease expects to complete the merger on or about April 8, 2026, subject to remaining closing conditions.
