Introduction
 
This Rule 13E-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3, together with the exhibits hereto (this “Schedule 13E-3” or this “Transaction Statement”), is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to Section 13(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), by: (i) Aircastle Limited, a Bermuda exempted company (the “Company”), (ii) Marubeni Corporation, a Japanese corporation (“Marubeni”), (iii) MM Air Limited, a Bermuda exempted company (“Parent”), (iv) MM Air Merger Sub Limited, a Bermuda exempted company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), (v) Marubeni Aviation Holding Coöperatief U.A., a Netherlands coöperatief (“MHC”), and (vi) Marubeni Aviation Corporation, a Japanese corporation (collectively, the “Filing Persons”).
 
This Transaction Statement relates to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 5, 2019 (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), and a related Statutory Merger Agreement (the “Statutory Merger Agreement”), by and among Parent, Merger Sub and the Company. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement and the Statutory Merger Agreement, if the conditions to the closing of the merger are either satisfied or waived, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company with the Company being the surviving company in the merger (the “merger”). Upon completion of the merger, each common share of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (“common share”), that is issued and outstanding at the effective time of the merger (other than common shares held by Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or their wholly-owned subsidiaries or by MHC) will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive $32.00, in cash, without interest and less any required withholding taxes. Upon completion of the merger, the common shares will no longer be publicly traded, and shareholders (other than MHC and Parent) will cease to have any ownership interest in the Company.
 
The board of directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”), other than Jun Horie, Takashi Kurihara and Takayuki Sakakida, the Marubeni designees serving on the Board of Directors (collectively, the “Marubeni Directors”), who did not participate due to their affiliation with Marubeni, has unanimously (a) determined that the Merger Agreement, the Statutory Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the merger, are fair to and in the best interest of the Company, (b) approved the Merger Agreement, the Statutory Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the merger, and (c) resolved to recommend that the Company’s shareholders approve and adopt the Merger Agreement, the Statutory Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the merger. Consummation of the merger is subject to customary conditions, including without limitation the approval of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby by the affirmative votes of a majority of the votes cast by holders of outstanding common shares at a meeting of the Company’s shareholders and the receipt of certain required, non-U.S. regulatory approvals.
 
On January 23, 2020, the Company filed with the SEC a definitive proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) under Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act, pursuant to which the Board of Directors is soliciting proxies from shareholders of the Company in connection with the merger. The Proxy Statement is attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(1). A copy of the Merger Agreement is attached to the Proxy Statement as Annex A and is incorporated herein by reference.

 This analysis estimates the potential returns that a private equity buyer might realize given various purchase prices and different input assumptions, such as financial structure (leverage and cost), cost reductions, exit valuations, etc.The following pages key in on the proposed structure – what we know of it – put forward by the Boston groupWe start by assuming that Boston pays $28.00 per share(1). They lever the company up to 4.25x debt/equity, and cut overhead costs by 15% (elimination of public company costs plus some extra)The net result shows the investors’ IRR at various assumptions  Illustrative LBO Analysis    Purchase Price Per Share  $27.00  $28.00  $29.00  1.00x1.041.101.15  Price / Book at Exit      10.1%  9.7%  9.4%  11.0  10.7  10.3  12.5  12.1  11.8  13.6  13.3  12.9      (1)  Represents Price / 2019E Book of 1.04x at entry.  5  We believe Boston is targeting a 10-12% return. This is generally consistent with expected E-tranchesecuritization returnsIf they underwrite to a 1.0x price / book exit, this equates to a 10% return at $27 per share purchase priceUsing a standard exit multiple equal to entrance multiple (1.04x), the return would be 10.7% at $28 per share purchase priceIt requires a 1.10x exit multiple for their return to equal 12% with a $28 per share purchase price8/43
