This Current Report, including the exhibits attached hereto, contains certain statements, which are forward-looking statements as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The forward-looking statements included herein are subject to risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements give the Company’s current expectations and projections relating to its financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business. You can identify forward-looking statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. These statements may include words such as “can,” “may,” “anticipate,” “continue,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “intend,” “believe,” “might,” “will,” “would,” “should,” “seek,” “could,” “positions,” “likely,” “target,” “goal,” “strategy” or similar expressions and the negatives of those terms in connection with any discussion of the timing or nature of future operating or financial performance or other events, including statements regarding the Company’s expectations, intentions or strategies regarding the Company’s proposed Offering or pending acquisition (the “MROH Acquisition”) of a controlling interest in MRO Holdings, Inc. (“MRO Holdings”) pursuant to that certain Share Purchase Agreement (the “Share Purchase Agreement”), dated September 28, 2026, by and among the Company, MROH Intermediate Holdco LLC and MRO Holdings, the expected benefits of the MROH Acquisition, including expectations with respect to potential synergies from the MROH Acquisition, the expected financing of the MROH Acquisition, the anticipated timing for closing the MROH Acquisition, the impact of the MROH Acquisition on the Company’s business and future financial condition and operating results and statements with respect to MRO Holdings’ future financial condition and operating results.
These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or those anticipated, depending on a variety of factors, including: factors that adversely affect the commercial aviation industry; adverse events and negative publicity in the aviation industry; a reduction in sales to the U.S. government and its contractors; cost overruns and losses on fixed-price contracts; nonperformance by subcontractors or suppliers; the Company’s ability to manage the Company’s operational footprint; a reduction in outsourcing of maintenance and repair activity by airlines; a shortage of skilled personnel or work stoppages; competition from other companies; financial, operational and legal risks arising as a result of operating internationally; the failure to complete, integrate and realize the anticipated benefits of acquisitions, including execution of related operational and financial plans; circumstances associated with divestitures; the inability to recover costs due to fluctuations in market values for aviation products and equipment; cyber or other security threats or disruptions; the need to make significant capital expenditures to keep pace with technological developments in the Company’s industry; restrictions on the use of intellectual property and tooling important to the Company’s business; the inability to protect the value of the Company’s intellectual property; the Company’s ability to manage the Company’s debt and fund the Company’s other liquidity needs; limitations on the Company’s ability to access the debt and equity capital markets or to draw down funds under loan agreements; non-compliance with restrictive and financial covenants contained in the Company’s debt and loan agreements; changes in or non-compliance with laws and regulations related to federal contractors, the aviation industry, international operations, safety and environmental matters, and the costs of complying with such laws and regulations; exposure to product liability and property claims that may be in excess of the Company’s liability insurance coverage; the risk that the MROH Acquisition may not be completed in a timely manner or at all; the failure to satisfy the closing conditions to the MROH Acquisition, including the receipt of required regulatory approvals; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance or condition that could give rise to the termination of the Share Purchase Agreement, including in certain circumstances requiring the Company to pay a termination fee; the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing arrangements, including under the debt commitment letter entered into in connection with the MROH Acquisition on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all; the effect of the announcement or pendency of the MROH Acquisition on the Company’s business relationships, operating results and business generally; risks that the MROH Acquisition may disrupt the Company’s current business plans and operations; the Company’s ability to retain and hire key personnel in light of the MROH Acquisition; risks related to diverting management’s attention from the Company’s ongoing business operations; unexpected costs, charges or expenses resulting from the MROH Acquisition; potential litigation relating to the MROH Acquisition; the ability of the Company to successfully integrate MRO Holdings and its subsidiaries following the closing of the MROH Acquisition and to achieve the anticipated benefits of the MROH Acquisition, including estimated cost and operational synergies, and the timeline to realize such benefits; the effects of the MROH Acquisition on the Company’s earnings, financial condition, net leverage ratio and credit ratings; the impact of the MROH Acquisition on the Company’s business and future financial condition and operating results, including the ability of the Company or MRO Holdings to repay or prepay indebtedness incurred in connection with the transaction or otherwise; and other factors disclosed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2026 and the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended August 31, 2026, in each case as may be updated or supplemented by any subsequent filings with the SEC. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize adversely, or should underlying assumptions or estimates prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described.
The Company derives many of its forward-looking statements from its operating budgets and forecasts, which are based on many detailed assumptions. While the Company believes that its assumptions are reasonable, it cautions that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and it is impossible to anticipate all factors that could affect actual results. These events and uncertainties are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many are beyond the Company’s control. The risks described in these reports are not the only risks the Company faces, as additional risks and uncertainties not currently known or foreseeable or deemed immaterial may materially adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations in future periods. All forward-looking statements attributable to the Company, or persons acting on its behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing cautionary statements. The forward-looking statements included in this Current Report and the exhibits attached hereto are made only as of the date hereof or thereof, as applicable. The Company assumes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION
AAR prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). The audited consolidated financial statements of MRO Holdings included in this offering memorandum have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), rather than GAAP, and the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of MRO Holdings included in this offering memorandum have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the IASB (together, “MRO Holdings’ financial statements”). IFRS differs in certain important respects from GAAP. As a result, MRO Holdings’ financial statements could be significantly different if they were prepared in accordance with GAAP, and its financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS may not be comparable in all respects to financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. There are differences between IFRS and GAAP that may be material, including with respect to leases, goodwill, employee benefits, and internal-use software and development costs. In making an investment decision, investors must rely on their own examination of MRO Holdings’ results and consult with their own professional advisors for an understanding of the differences between IFRS and GAAP and how those differences might affect MRO Holdings’ financial statements included in this offering memorandum. Except as reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, the pro forma preliminary estimated financial information and the pro forma non-GAAP financial information, no quantitative reconciliation or narrative discussion of the differences between IFRS and GAAP is included or incorporated by reference in this offering memorandum. We have conducted an initial review of MRO Holdings’ accounting policies under IFRS to determine material differences in accounting policies or presentation between AAR and MRO Holdings that may require recasting or reclassification to conform to AAR’s accounting policies and presentation. The adjustments reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information included in this offering memorandum include certain adjustments based on such initial review to align the presentation of MRO Holdings’ financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS to the presentation of AAR’s historical consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. However, as of the date of this offering memorandum, we have not completed our assessment of all necessary adjustments to conform MRO Holdings’ financial statements from IFRS to GAAP and to align MRO Holdings’ significant accounting policies with those of AAR. As a result, the pro forma adjustments are preliminary and are subject to change as additional information becomes available and as additional analysis is performed. As of the date of this offering memorandum, such preliminary adjustments have been made solely for the purpose of providing the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presented herein and do not purport to comply with the requirements of Article 11 of Regulation S-X. As a result, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presented herein may differ materially from financial information presented in compliance with the requirements of Article 11 of Regulation S-X. Further review of MRO Holdings’ historical accounting policies under IFRS may identify additional differences between the accounting policies of AAR and MRO Holdings that, when conformed, could have a material impact on the financial statements of the combined business following the MRO Holdings Acquisition. Although the foregoing information has been provided in this offering memorandum, we do not undertake, and expressly disclaim any obligation, to provide further information relating to our analysis of the necessary adjustments to conform MRO Holdings’ financial statements from IFRS to GAAP and to align its significant accounting policies with those of AAR. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the MRO Holdings Acquisition—MRO Holdings’ financial statements included in this offering memorandum have been prepared in accordance with IFRS and in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the IASB, which differ in certain significant respects from GAAP” and “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the MRO Holdings Acquisition—For the purposes of filing MRO Holdings’ financial statements with the SEC, an audit under U.S. Generally Accepted Auditing Standards must be performed. As of the date of this offering memorandum, such audit has not been completed. As a result of that audit, revisions or corrections of MRO Holdings’ financial statements may be required. Any such revision or correction, or any delay in completing the audit, could adversely affect us and the market value of the notes.”

These non-IFRS financial measures are considered relevant and useful to investors in evaluating MRO Holdings’ operating performance and cash flows, as they exclude certain items that are not considered indicative of its ongoing and core operating activities. When reviewed in conjunction with MRO Holdings’ IFRS results and the accompanying reconciliations, these non-IFRS financial measures are intended to provide additional information that is useful to gain an understanding of the factors and trends affecting MRO Holdings’ business and provide a means by which to compare MRO Holdings’ operating performance and cash flows against that of other companies in the industries in which it competes. These non-IFRS measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with IFRS. See “Non-GAAP and Non-IFRS Financial Measures.” |
| (2) | Adjusted Total Operating Revenues is total operating revenues, adjusted to (i) eliminate the impact of out-of-period operating revenues in connection with maintenance commissions for MRO Holdings’ Aeroman facility from the period in which they were recorded in MRO Holdings’ financial statements and allocating them on a straight-line basis across each of the quarterly periods in the year in which they were earned; (ii) reclassify revenues from sales of materials to third parties presented on a net of cost basis so that they are presented on a gross basis; and (iii) give effect to the run-rate impact of new facilities by (x) adding back their estimated full-capacity operating revenues, or a portion thereof to account for any expected ramp-up, for periods prior to their commencement of full operations or prior to their full control by MRO Holdings, as applicable, and (y) subtracting the actual operating revenues generated by such new facilities in such periods. |

These estimated revenues are reduced by any actual operating revenues the relevant facility generated in that month, including, in the case of the Rionegro facility, actual operating revenues generated in months before MRO Holdings obtained control of the facility.
The adjustments for Hangar 7 add back, for each month through March 2026, the first month in which Hangar 7 commenced full operations, an amount equal to the Hangar 7 Estimated Monthly Revenue, less the actual operating revenues generated by Hangar 7 in that month. Hangar 7 generated actual operating revenues in February 2026 and March 2026. No adjustments for Hangar 7 are reflected for periods before January 2025 or after March 2026. Accordingly, (i) for the year ended December 31, 2024, no Hangar 7 Estimated Monthly Revenue adjustment is reflected; (ii) for the year ended December 31, 2025 and the six months ended June 30, 2025, the adjustment for each period reflects the Hangar 7 Estimated Monthly Revenue for each of the months in each such period, less the actual operating revenues generated by Hangar 7 in those months; (iii) for the six months ended June 30, 2026, the adjustment reflects the Hangar 7 Estimated Monthly Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026, less the actual operating revenues generated by Hangar 7 in those months; and (iv) for the twelve months ended June 30, 2026, the adjustment reflects the Hangar 7 Estimated Monthly Revenue for the nine months ended March 31, 2026, less the actual operating revenues generated by Hangar 7 in those months. The Hangar 7 Estimated Monthly Revenue is calculated by multiplying the number of labor hours that MRO Holdings expects Hangar 7 to complete per year at full capacity by MRO Holdings’ budgeted average revenue per labor hour, divided by twelve months and applying a 50% factor to reflect the expected ramp-up of the facility.
4
The adjustments for the Rionegro facility add back, for each month in the periods presented, an amount equal to the Rionegro Estimated Monthly Revenue, less the actual operating revenues generated by the Rionegro facility in that month. For months before MRO Holdings obtained control of the facility in February 2026, the adjustment gives effect to the facility’s estimated operating revenues as if MRO Holdings had controlled and operated it during those months. For months after MRO Holdings obtained control, the adjustment normalizes the facility’s actual monthly operating revenues to the amounts in MRO Holdings’ forecast for the year ending December 31, 2026.
The adjustments for the Hangar 7 Estimated Monthly Revenue and Rionegro Estimated Monthly Revenue are presented for illustrative purposes only, are based on MRO Holdings’ management’s estimates and assumptions, do not reflect actual results and may not be indicative of future results. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the MRO Holdings Acquisition—This offering memorandum includes financial information relating to certain facilities operated or acquired by MRO Holdings that has not been audited and has not been independently verified by us.”
| (3) | Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA, as adjusted to: (i) give effect to the run-rate impact of new facilities by (x) adding back their estimated full-capacity EBITDA, or a portion thereof to account for any expected ramp-up, for periods prior to their commencement of full operations or prior to their full control by MRO Holdings, as applicable, and (y) subtracting the actual EBITDA generated by such new facilities in such periods; (ii) give effect to savings as a result of acquiring control over facilities as if such acquisition of control occurred at the beginning of the period presented; (iii) add back expansion expenses; and (iv) add back certain other non-recurring and non-operating expenses. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is Adjusted EBITDA divided by Adjusted Total Operating Revenues. |
The following table presents Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin as derived from MRO Holdings’ financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS and reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin to net income and net income margin, respectively, calculated in accordance with IFRS for the historical periods presented.

Risks Related to the MRO Holdings Acquisition
Certain terms of the Intercompany Loan Agreement may require us to provide additional funding to, and limit the cash available to us from, MRO Holdings until we own 100% of MRO Holdings.
In connection with the MRO Holdings Acquisition, AAR NewCo will make the Intercompany Loan to MRO Holdings in an aggregate principal amount of up to $1,350.0 million to fund the MRO Refinancing. The Intercompany Loan will be eliminated in our consolidated financial statements. Under the Intercompany Loan Agreement and the LLC Agreement, beginning with the first fiscal quarter ending after the second anniversary of the closing date, and once a year after that until we own 100% of MRO Holdings, AAR NewCo will be required to provide incremental term loans to MRO Holdings if its total net leverage ratio is below 3.50 to 1.00. However, if AAR NewCo does not make certain exercises of the Call Option within the applicable exercise period, the target ratio becomes 4.00 to 1.00 beginning after the third anniversary of the closing date of the MRO Holdings Acquisition. AAR NewCo’s obligation to provide any incremental term loan is subject to customary conditions and does not apply while certain specified disruptions exist in the high-yield bond market. If a required incremental term loan is not provided for that reason, AAR NewCo will be required to provide such incremental term loans after those market conditions end, and may be required to provide additional incremental term loans in certain circumstances, in each case subject to MRO Holdings meeting applicable leverage tests. Funding these loans would use cash that might otherwise be available for other purposes. In addition, the LLC Agreement requires these leverage adjustments to be taken into account in determining the amount of distributions made by MRO HoldCo to its members, which is generally pro rata based on members’ units. As a result, a portion of the amounts funded through such increases in the Intercompany Loan may be distributed to Seller NewCo and not to us. AAR NewCo may also, at its option, provide emergency funding to MRO Holdings in certain exigent circumstances, which would be added to the principal amount of the Intercompany Loan.
Subject to certain exceptions, MRO Holdings’ excess cash flow will be used to repay the Intercompany Loan during the first two years following the closing of the MRO Holdings Acquisition and following that, MRO Holdings’ excess cash flow will be available for repayments of the Intercompany Loan and for distributions under the LLC Agreement, depending on MRO Holdings’ net leverage. However, repayment of the Intercompany Loan will depend on MRO Holdings’ cash flows. The loan does not amortize and matures seven and one-half years after closing. In addition, for as long as Seller NewCo holds an interest in MRO HoldCo, the LLC Agreement gives it certain protections. These include the right to consent to amendments to, and voluntary prepayments of, the Intercompany Loan. They also include the right, following certain events of default and enforcement actions by AAR NewCo, to purchase a pro rata portion of the Intercompany Loan, during which time AAR NewCo may not enforce against the collateral and, if exercised, AAR NewCo would share the collateral with, and need the consent of, Seller NewCo for material collateral matters. The collateral securing the Intercompany Loan is located primarily outside the United States and subject to foreign enforcement laws. Holders of the notes will have no direct claim against AAR NewCo, MRO HoldCo or MRO Holdings, and will not benefit from the Intercompany Loan or the collateral securing it, other than as a function of our ownership of AAR NewCo. The leverage adjustments described above could reduce or delay the cash available to us from MRO Holdings, which could otherwise be used for other purposes, such as to service our indebtedness, including the notes, until we exercise our Call Option and acquire all remaining interests in MRO Holdings.
In addition, because AAR NewCo, MRO HoldCo and MRO Holdings will be restricted subsidiaries, the Indenture will not limit our ability to transfer cash or other assets to them, including through incremental term loans or emergency funding under the Intercompany Loan Agreement, even though we will own only 65% of MRO HoldCo (assuming we do not exercise our option to acquire any additional interests in MRO Holdings). As distributions by MRO HoldCo must be made to its members on a pro rata basis based on their respective units, Seller NewCo will be entitled to its pro rata share of any cash distributed by MRO HoldCo, including cash made available as a result of any such increases in the Intercompany Loan balance, even though we will have provided all of the funding for such increases in the Intercompany Loan balance. Any such amounts distributed to Seller NewCo will not be available to service the notes unless and until repaid under the Intercompany Loan Agreement, or otherwise returned to us, which may not occur when needed, or at all.
MRO Holdings’ financial statements included in this offering memorandum have been prepared in accordance with IFRS and in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the IASB, which differ in certain significant respects from GAAP.
MRO Holdings’ financial statements included in this offering memorandum have been prepared in accordance with IFRS and in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the IASB. There are certain significant differences between IFRS and GAAP, including, among others, differences related to leases, goodwill, employee benefits, and internal-use software and development costs. Thus, MRO Holdings’ financial statements could be significantly different if they had been prepared in accordance with GAAP. As a result, you may not be able to meaningfully compare MRO Holdings’ financial statements with our financial statements, or with those of other companies that prepare financial statements under GAAP.

For the purposes of filing MRO Holdings’ financial statements with the SEC, an audit under U.S. Generally Accepted Auditing Standards must be performed. As of the date of this offering memorandum, such audit has not been completed. As a result of that audit, revisions or corrections of MRO Holdings’ financial statements may be required. Any such revision or correction, or any delay in completing the audit, could adversely affect us and the market value of the notes.
MRO Holdings’ audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 included in this offering memorandum have been audited in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. In connection with the Transactions, including the financial statements and pro forma financial information that we expect to file with the SEC following the consummation of the MRO Holdings Acquisition, MRO Holdings’ audited consolidated financial statements will be audited in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAS”). As of the date of this offering memorandum, that audit has not been completed. In this regard, MRO Holdings’ financial statements are subject to revision and items may be identified that require adjustments or corrections to MRO Holdings’ financial statements. An adjustment, revision, correction, or delay in connection with the U.S. GAAS audit could adversely affect us and the comparability of MRO Holdings’ financial information included in this offering memorandum with financial information that we file with the SEC following the consummation of the MRO Holdings Acquisition.
See “Basis of Presentation,” “Non-GAAP and Non-IFRS Financial Measures,” “—MRO Holdings’ financial statements included in this offering memorandum have been prepared in accordance with IFRS and in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the IASB, which differ in certain significant respects from GAAP,” “—MRO Holdings currently is not subject to the internal control over financial reporting and other compliance obligations of the U.S. securities laws, and we may not be able to timely and effectively implement controls and procedures over MRO Holdings’ operations as required under the U.S. securities laws,” and “—The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information contained in this offering memorandum may not accurately reflect our financial position or results of operations following the completion of the Transactions.”
This offering memorandum includes financial information relating to certain facilities operated or acquired by MRO Holdings that has not been audited and has not been independently verified by us.
Certain non-IFRS financial measures of MRO Holdings and certain non-GAAP pro forma financial measures of AAR derived in part therefrom included in this offering memorandum give effect to the results of certain facilities operated or acquired by MRO Holdings, including its Hangar 7 and Rionegro facilities, as if such facilities had commenced operations or been acquired, as applicable, in earlier periods. Such results for periods preceding the commencement of operations or acquisition of these facilities, as applicable, are not reflected in MRO Holdings’ financial statements included in this offering memorandum. Although we believe such information to be accurate, such information has not been independently verified by us, and no independent auditor has audited, reviewed or compiled, examined or performed any procedures with respect to it.
MRO Holdings currently is not subject to the internal control over financial reporting and other compliance obligations of the U.S. securities laws, and we may not be able to timely and effectively implement controls and procedures over MRO Holdings’ operations as required under the U.S. securities laws.
MRO Holdings currently is not subject to the information and reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) or other U.S. federal securities laws, including the compliance obligations relating to, among other things, the maintenance of a system of internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures as contemplated by the Exchange Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Following the consummation of the MRO Holdings Acquisition, we will consolidate MRO Holdings in our financial statements and will need to timely and effectively implement controls and procedures over MRO Holdings’ operations, which are conducted substantially outside the United States, necessary to satisfy those requirements, including in connection with conforming MRO Holdings’ accounting policies to GAAP and to our accounting policies. We intend to take appropriate measures to establish or implement internal controls at MRO Holdings aimed at successfully fulfilling these requirements. However, it is possible that we may experience delays in implementing or be unable to implement the required internal financial reporting controls and procedures, which could result in increased costs, enforcement actions, the assessment of penalties and civil suits, failure to meet reporting obligations, and other material and adverse events that could have a negative effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Further, we may discover deficiencies or material weaknesses in MRO Holdings’ internal control over financial reporting that could result in errors or material misstatements of our consolidated financial statements. Our internal control over financial reporting will not prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud will be detected.

This offering memorandum includes preliminary estimated financial information of MRO Holdings that has not been independently reviewed or audited.
The preliminary estimated unaudited financial information of MRO Holdings as of and for the three, nine and twelve months ended September 30, 2026, and the pro forma preliminary estimated financial information derived in part therefrom, included in this offering memorandum are preliminary estimates that have been prepared in good faith using internal management accounts and based upon assumptions that MRO Holdings’ management believes to be reasonable as of the date of this offering memorandum. MRO Holdings’ actual results for such periods are subject to completion of its financial closing procedures and further financial review and may differ materially from such preliminary estimates. These unaudited preliminary estimates are presented for informational purposes only. You should not place undue reliance on them nor should you view them as a substitute for financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS for such periods when they become available. Such information should not be viewed as indicative of results for any future period. See “Summary—Recent Developments—MRO Holdings Preliminary Estimated Financial Information.”
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information contained in this offering memorandum may not accurately reflect our financial position or results of operations following the completion of the Transactions.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information contained in this offering memorandum is presented for illustrative purposes only, includes various estimates that are subject to material change and may not be an indication of what our financial position or results of operations would be had the Transactions been completed on the dates indicated. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been derived from our audited and unaudited historical financial statements, along with those of MRO Holdings, and certain adjustments and assumptions have been made regarding the combined businesses after giving effect to the Transactions. The assets and liabilities of MRO Holdings have been measured at fair value based on various preliminary estimates using assumptions that management believes are reasonable utilizing information currently available. Because we will acquire a 65% controlling interest in MRO HoldCo and consolidate it, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information reflects 100% of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value, and the 35% interest held by Seller NewCo is presented as a noncontrolling interest, also measured at fair value. The process for estimating the fair value of acquired assets, assumed liabilities, and the noncontrolling interest requires the use of judgment in determining the appropriate assumptions and estimates. These estimates and assumptions may be revised as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses are performed.
In addition, MRO Holdings’ financial statements were prepared in accordance with IFRS, while our historical consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with GAAP. The pro forma financial information includes adjustments to conform MRO Holdings’ financial statements to GAAP and to align its significant accounting policies with ours. We have not yet completed our assessment of all such adjustments, and these adjustments are therefore preliminary and subject to change as additional information becomes available and as additional analysis is performed. A more detailed review of MRO Holdings’ accounting policies may identify additional differences that, when conformed, could have a material impact on the financial statements of the combined business following the Transactions. Furthermore, the pro forma financial information also assumes certain financing costs, including interest costs, which are preliminary and subject to change as additional information becomes available and as interest rates fluctuate.
11
Certain of the pro forma adjustments reflected in the non-GAAP pro forma financial information included in this offering memorandum have been tax-effected, in certain cases at 28% (AAR’s rate) and in others at 0% (MRO Holdings’ rate). The pro forma adjustments reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of income information included in this offering memorandum have instead been tax-effected using an assumed income tax rate of 25%, which reflects a blended tax rate of the jurisdictions in which AAR and MRO Holdings currently operate, and in which they are expected to continue to operate following the consummation of the MRO Holdings Acquisition. As a result, the after-tax figures in the non-GAAP pro forma financial information included in this offering memorandum are not directly comparable to corresponding figures in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of income information included in this offering memorandum, and may differ from them. The assumed income tax rates are based on management’s current estimates, are presented for illustrative purposes only, and do not necessarily reflect the effective tax rate that we will experience following the consummation of the Transactions. Our effective tax rate following the consummation of the MRO Holdings Acquisition could be significantly different (either higher or lower) depending on post-acquisition activities, including cash needs, the geographical mix of income and changes in tax law. Because the tax rates used for the pro forma financial information are estimated, those rates will likely vary from the actual effective rate in periods subsequent to completion of the Transactions.
Differences between preliminary estimates in the pro forma financial information and the final accounting for the Transactions will occur and could have a material impact on the pro forma financial information and the combined business’s financial position and future results of operations. Acquisition accounting rules require evaluation of certain assumptions, estimates, or determinations of financial statement classifications which are completed during the measurement period as defined in current accounting standards. Our accounting policies and acquisition accounting rules may materially vary from those of MRO Holdings. Any changes in assumptions, estimates, or financial statement classifications may be material and may have a material adverse effect on our assets, liabilities, or future earnings. In addition, the assumptions used in preparing the pro forma financial information may not prove to be accurate, and other factors may affect our financial condition or results of operations following the Transactions. In addition, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information contained in this offering memorandum is not necessarily indicative of our future financial position or results of operations following the Transactions.

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared for informational purposes only and does not comply with GAAP, the requirements of Article 11 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act or any other accounting or securities regulations relating to the presentation of pro forma financial information. AAR’s fiscal year ends on May 31 and MRO Holdings’ fiscal year ends on December 31. For purposes of the preparation of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and to aid in providing meaningful comparative information, financial information for MRO Holdings for the twelve months ended March 31, 2026 and the three months ended June 30, 2026 has been derived from the MRO Holdings Financial Statements and combined with AAR’s financial information for the year ended May 31, 2026 and the three months ended August 31, 2026, respectively.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was prepared using:
| · | the historical unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of AAR as of and for the three months ended August 31, 2026; |
| · | the historical audited consolidated financial statements of AAR for the year ended May 31, 2026; |
| · | the historical audited consolidated financial statements of MRO Holdings as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025; |
| · | the historical unaudited condensed consolidated financial information of MRO Holdings for the twelve months ended March 31, 2026, prepared by combining financial information for the year ended December 31, 2025 with financial information for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and subtracting financial information for the three months ended March 31, 2025; |
| · | the historical unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of MRO Holdings as of June 30, 2026; and |
| · | the historical unaudited condensed consolidated financial information of MRO Holdings for the three months ended June 30, 2026, prepared by subtracting financial information for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from financial information for the six months ended June 30, 2026. |
The historical audited and unaudited consolidated financial statements of AAR are prepared in accordance with GAAP and are reported in U.S. dollars. The historical audited and unaudited consolidated financial statements of MRO Holdings are prepared in accordance with IFRS and are reported in U.S. dollars. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income (loss) information for the year ended May 31, 2026 and the three months ended August 31, 2026 give effect to the Transactions as if they had occurred on June 1, 2025, the first day of AAR’s fiscal year 2026. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet information as of August 31, 2026 gives effect to the Transactions as if they had occurred on that date.
The MRO Holdings Acquisition will be accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting, as prescribed in ASC 805, Business Combinations, which requires an allocation of the purchase consideration to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on their fair values as of the date of the Transaction. As AAR will acquire a 65% controlling interest in MRO HoldCo and will consolidate MRO HoldCo and its subsidiaries, including MRO Holdings, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information reflects 100% of the assets, liabilities and results of operations of MRO HoldCo and its subsidiaries. The 35% interest held by Seller NewCo is presented as a noncontrolling interest. As of the date of this offering memorandum, AAR has not completed the detailed valuation study necessary to determine the final estimates of the fair value of MRO Holdings’ assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the noncontrolling interest to be held by Seller NewCo, and the related allocations of purchase consideration.
16
Material adjustments and reclassifications have been made to reflect MRO Holdings’ historical audited and unaudited consolidated financial statements on a GAAP basis, to align MRO Holdings’ historical significant accounting policies under IFRS to AAR’s significant accounting policies under GAAP, and to conform MRO Holdings’ consolidated income statements and consolidated balance sheet line items to AAR’s presentation. These adjustments are based on an initial review of MRO Holdings’ accounting policies under IFRS to identify material differences in accounting policies or presentation between AAR and MRO Holdings that may require recasting or reclassification. As of the date of this offering memorandum, AAR has not completed its assessment of all necessary adjustments to conform MRO Holdings’ financial information from IFRS to GAAP and to align MRO Holdings’ significant accounting policies with those of AAR. As a result, the pro forma adjustments are preliminary and are subject to change as additional information becomes available and as additional analysis is performed. The preliminary pro forma adjustments have been made solely for the purpose of providing the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presented herein. AAR has estimated the fair value of MRO Holdings’ assets and liabilities based on discussions with MRO Holdings’ management, due diligence and information presented in MRO Holdings’ audited and unaudited consolidated financial statements. The final purchase price allocation may be materially different from the preliminary purchase price allocation presented herein.
Upon the closing of the MRO Holdings Acquisition, AAR will likely consolidate the results of MRO Holdings on a reporting lag as permitted by ASC 810, Consolidation, of up to two months as the MRO Holdings financial statements are not expected to be completed on a timely basis that is sufficient for AAR to consolidate the results on a current basis.
Note 2 – Reclassifications of MRO Holdings’ Financial Statements
MRO Holdings’ historical balances reflect certain reclassifications of MRO Holdings’ consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income and consolidated statement of financial position categories to conform to AAR’s presentation in its consolidated statement of operations and consolidated balance sheet. Further review may identify additional reclassifications that could have a material impact on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information of the combined group.

Note 4 – Acquisition Adjustments
MRO Holdings reports its historical consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS, which differ in certain material respects from GAAP. The acquisition adjustments include the alignment of MRO Holdings’ significant accounting policies under IFRS with AAR’s significant accounting policies under GAAP and adjustments to reflect the preliminary application of acquisition accounting under ASC 805. Specifically, material adjustments related to leases necessary to reflect MRO Holdings’ historical audited and unaudited consolidated financial statements on a GAAP basis are included within the related acquisition accounting adjustments rather than presented separately as IFRS to GAAP adjustments, as the underlying balances are remeasured in connection with the application of acquisition accounting.
Further review may identify additional adjustments that could materially affect the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.
| a) | Leases |
The adjustments reflect the recognition of leases in accordance with ASC 805 and the conformity of MRO Holdings’ historical lease accounting under IFRS to GAAP. Under IFRS, lessees apply a single model to all leases, while GAAP requires leases to be classified as either operating or finance leases. The following adjustments include a reclassification of operating lease liabilities under GAAP to conform with AAR’s presentation of operating leases. Under IFRS, the right-of-use (“ROU”) asset is generally amortized on a straight-line basis and both the amortization and the accretion on the lease liability are presented based on their nature. Under GAAP, after initial recognition, for an operating lease, a lessee generally amortizes the ROU asset as a balancing amount that together with accretion on the lease liability generally produces straight-line total lease expense which is recognized as a single operating expense. In addition, certain leased assets have been determined to be lessor assets under GAAP as compared to leasehold improvements under IFRS. The following table presents the adjustments to lease obligations and the related ROU assets, and the increases or decreases to the corresponding historical financial statement line items ($ in millions):

| Income tax expense | 3.9 | |||||||||||
| b) | Transaction costs |
AAR will incur non-recurring legal advisory, financial advisory and accounting costs to complete the Transactions. These transaction costs are estimated to be $53.0 million, including the Bridge Credit Facility commitment fee through its termination, and are included in Selling, general, and administrative expenses in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income information for the three months ended August 31, 2026 and the year ended May 31, 2026 and in Accrued and other liabilities in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of August 31, 2026. The adjustments reflect a corresponding increase to Accrued and other liabilities on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet information.
| c) | Property, plant and equipment, net |
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information reflects preliminary estimates of the fair values of property, plant and equipment acquired by AAR. The estimated fair values are based on available information as of the date of this offering memorandum.
The increase in the carrying value of MRO Holdings’ property, plant, and equipment estimated acquisition date fair value is $17.5 million which will be depreciated using the straight-line method. The depreciation expense adjustments to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined income statement information were $0.8 million and $3.3 million for the three months ended August 31, 2026 and the year ended May 31, 2026, respectively. A 10% increase or decrease in the carrying value of MRO Holdings’ property, plant and equipment estimated acquisition date fair value would result in an approximate $0.3 million increase or decrease, respectively, in annual depreciation expense.
| d) | Intangible assets |
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information reflects preliminary estimates of the fair values of identifiable intangible assets acquired by AAR. The estimated fair values are based on available information as of the date of this offering memorandum.
21
The following table summarizes the estimated useful lives, which will be amortized using the straight-line method:
| Amortization Expense | ||||||||||||||||
| Useful Life in Years | Three months ended August 31, 2026 | Twelve months ended August 31, 2026 | Year ended May 31, 2026 | |||||||||||||
| Customer relationship | 15.0 | $ | 13.3 | $ | 53.3 | $ | 53.3 | |||||||||
| Tradename | indefinite-lived | n/a | n/a | n/a | ||||||||||||
Amortization expense for the customer relationship intangible asset is recognized in Selling, general, and administrative expenses. These preliminary estimates of fair value and estimated useful lives may differ once the purchase price allocation is finalized during the measurement period following the closing of the MRO Holdings Acquisition. A 10% change in the fair value of amortizable intangible assets would increase or decrease amortization expense on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined income statement information by $1.3 million and $5.3 million for the three months ended August 31, 2026 and the year ended May 31, 2026, respectively.
| e) | Income taxes |
Income tax expense (benefit) in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined income statement information was recognized at 25%, which is based on a blended tax rate of the collective jurisdictions that AAR and MRO Holdings currently, and following the MRO Holdings Acquisition are expected to continue to, operate in. AAR’s effective tax rate following the consummation of the MRO Holdings Acquisition could be significantly different (either higher or lower) depending on post-acquisition activities, including cash needs, the geographical mix of income and changes in tax law. Because the tax rates used for the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information are estimated, the blended rate will likely vary from the actual effective rate in periods subsequent to completion of the Transactions.
No transaction accounting adjustments were recorded related to deferred tax assets or liabilities from the preliminary purchase price allocation on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of August 31, 2026 other than adjustments related to the conversion of lease accounting from IFRS to GAAP. Estimated deferred taxes have not been recognized on any potential book to tax basis differences as a result of the expected deductibility on the fair value adjustments to property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, and other adjustments based on the structure of the transaction. As additional information is obtained during the purchase price allocation process, the recognition of deferred tax assets or liabilities could significantly impact goodwill or income tax expense following the acquisition date.
| f) | Purchase consideration |
The adjustments reflect the estimated consideration to acquire MRO Holdings as further described in Note 3.
| g) | Goodwill |
Goodwill is calculated as the difference between the purchase consideration and the fair values assigned to the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed of MRO Holdings. The fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is preliminary and will be finalized following completion of the MRO Holdings Acquisition. Goodwill of $2,993.5 million is based on the preliminary purchase price allocation, and may increase or decrease based on the final purchase price allocation. The majority of the goodwill recognized in connection with the MRO Holdings Acquisition is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.
22
| h) | Equity |
The adjustments reflect the elimination of MRO Holdings’ historical equity and the issuance of 5,783.894 shares of Series A Preferred Stock which have an agreed value of $780.8 million as part of the Purchase Consideration.
| i) | Noncontrolling Interest |
The adjustments reflect the impact of the 35% noncontrolling interest including the fair value as of August 31, 2026 and the impact of the noncontrolling interest on earnings.
Note 5 – Financing Adjustments
The financing adjustments reflect the following:
| · | the issuance of $955.0 million aggregate principal amount of notes due 2031 (with an assumed interest rate of 6.50%) and $960.0 million aggregate principal amount of notes due 2034 (with an assumed interest rate of 6.75%); |
| · | an estimated draw of approximately $230.0 million under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility (with an assumed interest rate of 5.30%); |
| · | the issuance of 2,215,791 shares of Common Stock in the PIPE Offering at a purchase price of $104.50 per share, for gross proceeds of approximately $231.6 million (or approximately $220.9 million, net of estimated issuance costs of $10.7 million); and |
| · | the funding by AAR NewCo of the Intercompany Loan to MRO Holdings, in an aggregate principal amount of up to $1,350.0 million, and MRO Holdings’ use of those proceeds to repay in full all outstanding indebtedness under the MRO Existing Credit Agreement in the MRO Refinancing. The Intercompany Loan, and the related interest income and interest expense, are eliminated in consolidation. |
AAR intends to use the net proceeds from this offering, together with the net proceeds from the PIPE Offering and borrowings under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility, to (a) finance the cash consideration payable in connection with the MRO Holdings Acquisition, (b) fund the Intercompany Loan, (c) pay premiums, fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Transactions and (d) fund working capital and other general corporate purposes. The financing adjustments assume that AAR does not obtain or fund the Bridge Credit Facility.
The adjustment to Interest expense, net reflects the incremental interest expense from the issuance of the notes and the borrowings under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility, net of the elimination of the interest expense related to the MRO Existing Credit Agreement and the amortization of debt issuance costs over the respective terms of the notes and Amended Revolving Credit Facility. The actual principal amount, maturity and interest rate for each series of notes offered hereby may vary from the assumptions utilized for purposes of the pro forma condensed combined financial information. Actual interest rates may vary significantly from the pro forma amounts for various reasons, including prevailing interest rates, market conditions and other factors.
23
A sensitivity analysis on interest expense for the year ended May 31, 2026 and the three months ended August 31, 2026 has been performed to assess the effect of a 50-basis point change in the assumed interest rate on the notes and on borrowings under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility, the latter of which bear interest at a variable rate. The following table shows the resulting change in interest expense:
| ($ in millions) | For the Three Months Ended August 31, 2026 | For the Year Ended May 31, 2026 | ||||||
| Notes offered hereby | ||||||||
| Increase of 0.5% | $ | 2.4 | $ | 9.6 | ||||
| Decrease of 0.5% | $ | (2.4 | ) | $ | (9.6 | ) | ||
| Amended Revolving Credit Facility | ||||||||
| Increase of 0.5% | $ | 0.3 | $ | 1.2 | ||||
| Decrease of 0.5% | $ | (0.3 | ) | $ | (1.2 | ) | ||
The Intercompany Loan is eliminated in consolidation, so changes in its interest rate have no impact on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income (loss) information.
The adjustment to Income tax expense (benefit) reflects a consistent tax rate as utilized for the Acquisition Adjustments in Note 4.
Note 6 – Earnings Per Share
The unaudited pro forma combined basic and diluted earnings per share calculations reflect the issuance of 5,783.894 shares to the Seller as part of the consideration for the MRO Holdings Acquisition and the issuance of 2,215,791 shares of common stock in the PIPE Offering calculated as if the shares were outstanding from the beginning of the period presented.

AAR announces proposed offering of $955 million of senior notes due 2031 and $960 million of senior notes due 2034
Wood Dale, Illinois — AAR CORP. (“AAR” or the “Company”) (NYSE: AIR), the leading parts, repair, and software platform in the aviation aftermarket, announced today that it intends to offer (the “offering”), subject to market conditions and other factors, $955 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes due 2031 (the “2031 Notes”) and $960 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes due 2034 (the “2034 Notes” and, together with the 2031 Notes, the “Notes”).
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the proposed offering, together with the net proceeds from its previously announced private placement of an aggregate of 2,215,791 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $1.00 per share and borrowings under its revolving credit facility (the “Amended Revolving Credit Facility”), to (i) pay the cash consideration for the Company’s previously announced pending acquisition (the “MRO Holdings Acquisition”) of a controlling interest in MRO Holdings, Inc. (“MRO Holdings”), (ii) fund an intercompany term loan to MRO Holdings (the “Intercompany Loan”), the proceeds of which will be used to repay, prepay, redeem, defease, discharge, or otherwise refinance in full all outstanding indebtedness under MRO Holdings’ existing credit agreement and to terminate all commitments thereunder and release all guarantees and liens securing the obligations thereunder, (iii) pay any premiums, fees, and expenses incurred in connection with the MRO Holdings Acquisition and the financing transactions related thereto, and (iv) fund working capital and other general corporate purposes. In addition, the Company will issue equity with an agreed value of approximately $780.8 million as partial consideration for the MRO Holdings Acquisition.
If the proposed offering closes prior to the consummation of the MRO Holdings Acquisition, (1) the gross proceeds from the offering of each series of Notes (less the initial purchasers’ discounts and commissions) will be deposited into a segregated escrow account (collectively, the “Escrow Accounts”) for the benefit of the holders of the applicable series of Notes until the date on which certain escrow conditions are satisfied in connection with the closing of the MRO Holdings Acquisition, and (2) each series of Notes will be subject to a special mandatory redemption at a price equal to the initial issue price of the applicable series of Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest from the issue date of such series of Notes to, but excluding, the date of the special mandatory redemption. If the proposed offering closes substantially concurrently with the consummation of the MRO Holdings Acquisition, the Notes will not be subject to the aforementioned procedures.
Prior to the consummation of the MRO Holdings Acquisition and the release of proceeds from the Escrow Accounts, if applicable, the Notes will not be guaranteed. From and after the consummation of the MRO Holdings Acquisition and the release of such proceeds, if applicable, or on the issue date of the Notes if the MRO Holdings Acquisition closes substantially concurrently with the proposed offering, the Notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, by each of the Company’s present and future wholly owned domestic subsidiaries that guarantee the Company’s obligations under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility, subject to certain exceptions.
The Notes and the related guarantees have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), any state securities laws or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction. The Notes and the related guarantees may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the benefit of, U.S. persons absent registration or pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, registration. The Notes and related guarantees will be offered and sold only to persons reasonably believed to be “qualified institutional buyers” in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to certain non-U.S. persons in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act.
This press release is neither an offer to sell, nor the solicitation of an offer to buy, the Notes or any other securities and shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy, or a sale of, the Notes or any other securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

The Company derives many of its forward-looking statements from its operating budgets and forecasts, which are based on many detailed assumptions. While the Company believes that its assumptions are reasonable, it cautions that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and it is impossible to anticipate all factors that could affect actual results.

All forward-looking statements attributable to the Company, or persons acting on its behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing cautionary statements.
