FURTHER ANNOUNCEMENT RELATING TO TRENCOR’S BENEFICIARY INTEREST IN
TEXTAINER GROUP HOLDINGS LIMITED

1.    Introduction

      We draw attention to the Trencor SENS announcement released on Friday, 14 September
      2012 and the news release issued by Textainer Group Holdings Limited (“Textainer”) on
      Wednesday, 19 September 2012 that is included at the bottom of this announcement.
      Trencor, in its capacity as a discretionary beneficiary of the Halco Trust, the sole shareholder
      of Halco Holdings Inc. (“Halco”), has a 48,93% beneficiary interest in Textainer immediately
      after the transactions set out in the aforementioned announcements.

      The underwriters to the Textainer public offering have fully exercised their option to purchase
      up to an additional 1,125,000 of Textainer common shares at the public offering price of
      $31.50 per share, less the underwriting discount (the “Option”).

      Consequently, Trencor is publishing revised financial effects.

2.    Revised financial effects

      The table below sets out the unaudited pro forma financial effects of the Option on Trencor’s
      earnings per share (“EPS”), headline EPS (“HEPS”), adjusted HEPS, net asset value per
      share (“NAV”) and tangible NAV (“TNAV”).

      The unaudited pro forma financial effects have been prepared using accounting policies that
      comply with International Financial Reporting Standards and that are consistent with those
      applied in the unaudited group interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2012 as well
      as the audited group results of Trencor for the 12 months ended 31 December 2011.

      The unaudited pro forma financial effects, which are the responsibility of the Trencor board of
      directors, are provided for illustrative purposes only and, because of their pro forma nature,
      may not fairly present Trencor’s financial position, changes in equity, results of operations or
      cash flow. The unaudited pro forma financial effects do not assume deployment of the capital
      raised by Textainer in the public offering.

     Notes and assumptions:
     1.    The Trencor financial information reflected in the “Before” column has been extracted from the “After”
           column in paragraph 3 of the Trencor SENS announcement released on Friday, 14 September 2012.
     2.    The pro forma adjustments have been calculated on the assumption that the Option was implemented on 1
           January 2012. The ZAR/USD exchange rate used to translate USD amounts is the same as the average
           rate used in the most recent published unaudited group interim results of Trencor (six months ended 30
           June 2012), being R7,89=$1.
     3.    The pro forma adjustments have been calculated on the assumption that the Option was implemented on
           30 June 2012. The ZAR/USD exchange rate used to translate USD amounts is the same as the closing
           rate used in the most recent published unaudited group interim results of Trencor (six months ended 30
           June 2012), being R8,24=$1.
     4.    In the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income all adjustments are
           considered to have a continuing effect.
     5.    Adjusted HEPS is the more appropriate measure of Trencor’s financial performance in that it excludes net
           unrealised foreign exchange losses and gains. Adjusted HEPS may also include such other adjustments
           that, in the opinion of the Trencor Board, are necessary to properly represent adjusted HEPS.
     6.    All other assumptions made in the financial effects calculation are consistent with those made in the
           financial effects calculation in paragraph 3 of the Trencor SENS announcement released on Friday, 14
           September 2012.
