- The ratio of AIR’s total debt to EBITDA will be less than 6:1 after the transactions are complete, opening up the possibility of accretive acquisitions.

These transactions reduce total indebtedness to within our targeted range and were contemplated in AIR’s full year FFO guidance. They are therefore neutral to expectations for the year.”
