Item 1.01.                                        Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 21, 2013, ALC Warehouse Borrower, LLC (the “Borrower”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Air Lease Corporation (the “Company”), entered into an amended and restated $1.0 billion revolving credit facility (the “Amended Bank Warehouse Facility”) with Credit Suisse AG, New York Branch, as agent, and the lenders named therein. The Amended Bank Warehouse Facility was arranged by Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC.  The Amended Bank Warehouse Facility provides the Borrower with financing of up to $1.0 billion, modified from the previous facility size of $1.25 billion. The Borrower is able to draw on the Amended Bank Warehouse Facility during an availability period that was extended to June 2015 (from June 2013) with a subsequent four year term out option. The interest rate on the Amended Bank Warehouse Facility was reduced to LIBOR plus 2.25% on drawn balances (from LIBOR plus 2.50%) and reduced to 0.50% on undrawn balances (from 0.75%).

As of March 13, 2013, 2013, Commonwealth Bank of Australia, a lender under the Syndicated Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility held 6.54% of our Class A Common Stock.  Certain lenders under the Amended Bank Warehouse Facility have other lending relationships with the Company and its subsidiaries.  In addition certain lenders under the Amended Bank Warehouse Facility have in the past performed, and may in the future from time to time perform, investment banking, financial advisory, or commercial banking services for the Company and its subsidiaries, for which they have received, and may in the future receive, customary compensation and reimbursement of expenses.

The foregoing description is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Amended Bank Warehouse Facility filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
