Textainer Group Holdings Limited Acquires 49.9% of TAP Funding Ltd.


HAMILTON, Bermuda – January 20, 2021 (PRNewswire) – Textainer Group Holdings Limited (NYSE:
TGH) (“Textainer”, “the Company”, “we” and “our”), one of the world’s largest lessors of intermodal
containers, today announced that the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Textainer Limited, acquired the
49.9% interest in TAP Funding Ltd. (“TAP Funding”) owned by TAP Ltd. Following the acquisition,
Textainer Limited owns 100% of TAP Funding. TAP Funding was a joint venture between Textainer
Limited and TAP Ltd., a Bermuda based intermodal investment company. TAP Funding owns
approximately 80,000 intermodal shipping containers already managed by Textainer with a net book value
of approximately $175 million. The share purchase closed on January 19, 2021. Following the closing of
the share purchase, Textainer wholly-owns approximately 89 percent of the containers in the Company’s
fleet.

“This transaction is in line with Textainer’s strategy of simplifying our overall corporate structure, focusing
on our core container leasing business, and pursuing transactions that add to our net income and return on
equity. The acquisition of the shares of TAP Funding we did not previously own provides us with sole
ownership of a large seasoned portfolio of containers already under our management at an attractive price,”
commented Olivier Ghesquiere, President and Chief Executive Officer of Textainer Group Holdings
Limited. “We expect this transaction will be immediately accretive to earnings and to contribute to long-
term growth in shareholder value,” concluded Mr. Ghesquiere.
