Plueger John L 4

What Happened

• John L. Plueger, CEO, President and Director of Air Lease Corp (AL), disposed of 14,365 shares on Feb 25, 2026 at $64.85 each, representing proceeds of about $931,570. The transaction is reported under code F (payment of exercise price or tax liability), indicating the shares were disposed to satisfy tax or option-exercise obligations rather than a routine open-market sale for investment purposes.

Key Details

• Transaction date and price: Feb 25, 2026 — 14,365 shares at $64.85 per share.
• Total value reported: approximately $931,570.
• Shares owned after transaction: not stated in the information provided in this summary (see original Form 4 for holdings).
• Footnote: F1 indicates the reported shares are owned by one of Plueger’s sons; Plueger disclaims beneficial ownership except for any pecuniary interest.
• Filing timeliness: Form filed Feb 27, 2026 (reported within the typical 2-business-day window).

Context

• Code F transactions typically reflect shares withheld or sold to cover tax liabilities arising from option exercises or vesting events (a form of cashless/net-share settlement). Such disposals do not necessarily signal the insider’s view on the company’s prospects. The footnote about the shares being owned by a son further clarifies that these shares may not have been beneficially owned by Plueger in the usual sense.
