On December 9, 2025, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of StandardAero, Inc. (the “Company”) approved a stock repurchase program, effective immediately. The stock repurchase program authorizes the Company to repurchase up to $450.0 million of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 (“Common Stock”), subject to market conditions, contractual restrictions and other factors.

Repurchases under the program may be made in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, with the amount and timing of repurchases depending on market conditions and corporate needs. Open market repurchases will be structured to occur within the pricing and volume requirements of Rule 10b-18. The Company may also, from time to time, enter into Rule 10b5-1 plans to facilitate repurchases of its shares under this authorization.

This program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of Common Stock and the program may be extended, modified, suspended or discontinued at any time at the Company’s discretion.

The Company intends such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the words “anticipate,” “assume,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “foreseeable,” “future,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “objective,” “ongoing,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “seek,” “should,” “will,” or “would” and/or the negative of these terms, or other comparable terminology intended to identify statements about the future. They include statements regarding our intentions, beliefs or current expectations concerning, among other things, the Company’s stock repurchase program. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict or quantify, including the fact that Common Stock repurchases may not be conducted in the timeframe or in the manner the Company expects, or at all, and the other factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and our other filings with the SEC. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. We do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
