What the filing says
On September 16, 2026, Willis Lease Finance Corp entered into a preferred stock purchase agreement with Development Bank of Japan Inc. (DBJ) for $35 million, issuing 1,750,000 shares of 8.09% Series B Preferred Stock. This builds on a 2024 Series A transaction where DBJ invested $65 million (refinancing prior $50M of Series A-1 and A-2 preferred). The capital will support global expansion including a new engine repair center in Malaysia.
Why this rating
$35M is 6.1% of company market cap—meaningful but not transformational. Repeat investor, established relationship, supports growth plans. Moderate significance for mid-cap company.
