At the annual meeting of stockholders of AAR CORP. (the “Company”) held on October 11, 2016, the stockholders of the Company approved a First Amendment to the AAR CORP. 2013 Stock Plan (the “Plan”).

The foregoing description of the First Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the amendment, a copy of which is filed with this Current Report as Exhibit 10 and incorporated herein by reference.
