<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">NOVATO, CA &#151; July&nbsp;18, 2017 &#151; Willis Lease Finance Corporation (NASDAQ: WLFC) (&#147;Willis&#148;), a leading lessor of commercial jet engines, announced today that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Willis Engine Structured Trust III (&#147;WEST III&#148;) proposes to offer $335.7 million in aggregate principal amount of fixed rate notes (the &#147;Notes&#148;).&#160; It is expected that the Notes will be issued in two series, with the Series&nbsp;A Notes to be issued in an aggregate principal amount of $293.7 million and the Series&nbsp;B Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $42 million.&#160; The Notes will be secured by, among other things, WEST III&#146;s direct and indirect interests in a portfolio of 56 aircraft engines.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The net proceeds of the Notes will be applied, in part, to pay fees and expenses related to the issuance and to pay Willis periodically over a 270-day delivery period in consideration for the aircraft engines acquired by WEST from Willis in the financing.&#160; Willis will apply the net proceeds it receives to repay certain amounts drawn under Willis&#146; revolving credit facility and for general corporate purposes.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Notes being offered by WEST III have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the &#147;Securities Act&#148;), and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.&#160; The Notes are being offered only to qualified institutional buyers under Rule&nbsp;144A under the Securities Act and outside the United States to non-U.S. persons in reliance in Regulation S under the Securities Act.</font></p>
