2018 Accomplishments  Freighter fleet expansion: Nine Boeing 767-300 freighters entered service in 2018, with eight to ten more 767 freighters due in 2019 based on current commitments. More than 80% of 767s in service at year-end are dry- leased.  New lease customers: Dry-lease deliveries of 767s to Northern Air Cargo, Air Incheon, and SkyTaxi in 2018 expanded lease-customer base. Additional leases also to major customers Amerijet and CargoJet.  Labor agreement reached with ATI pilots: Adds four years and market-competitive terms for pilots flying ATSG’s 767 and 757 aircraft under CMI and ACMI agreements.  Diversifying via Omni acquisition: Adds $400+ million revenue stream and strong cash flow from charter passenger operations for DoD and others, plus Boeing 777 platform, giving ATSG more comprehensive custom solution capabilities.  More feedstock 767s secured: Twenty 767-300s sourced via Jetran from American Airlines fleet to be acquired, converted and leased. Will help ATSG meet strong e-commerce-driven demand for express-network cargo aircraft into 2021, perhaps augmenting Omni’s passenger fleet before conversion.  Agreements with Amazon extended and expanded: Deal provides for ten more 767 leases over two years, or thirty total 767s leased to Amazon by end of 2020. Multi-year lease extensions for twenty existing 767s, and for agreement covering ATSG airlines that operate the aircraft. Additional warrants granted to Amazon to acquire about 33.2% of ATSG shares, and options for more warrants based on additional aircraft leases. 4
