(a)
Includes 580,943 shares of restricted stock granted under the AerCap Equity Plans, of which 372,239 shares of restricted stock were issued with the remaining 208,704 ordinary shares being withheld and applied to pay the taxes involved. As part of the 208,704 ordinary shares withheld to pay for taxes, 89,299 ordinary shares were treated as granted and subsequently vested on the grant date under specific Irish tax legislation. As a result, we recognized an expense of $4.7 million on the grant dates associated with these ordinary shares.
(b)
432,427 restricted stock units, which were previously granted under the AerCap Equity Plans, vested. In connection with the vesting of the restricted stock units, the Company issued, in full satisfaction of its obligations, 250,470 ordinary shares to the holders of these restricted stock units, with the remainder being withheld and applied to pay the taxes in respect of those awards. Restrictions on 1,006,177 shares of restricted stock (681,825 shares of restricted stock net of withholding for taxes) lapsed during the period. In addition, 89,299 ordinary shares were treated as granted and subsequently vested on the grant dates, as described in (a) above.
