Willis Lease Finance Corp (WLFC) Approves 3-for-1 Stock Split

Willis Lease Finance said shareholders approved a 3-for-1 forward stock split, along with a proportional increase in authorized common shares, at the company’s 2026 annual meeting.

The company said the split will give each shareholder of record on July 6, 2026, two additional shares for every one share held. If Nasdaq gives final approval, trading on a split-adjusted basis is expected to begin at the market open on July 20, 2026.

Willis Lease said all five proposals on its 2026 proxy were approved. The company did not disclose vote totals in the release.

Executive Chairman Charles F. Willis said the stock split proposal passed with “overwhelming shareholder support” and said the company has built “meaningful momentum” over the past several years.
