Textainer Announces Pricing of $651 million Asset-Backed Financing


HAMILTON, Bermuda – March 30, 2021 – Textainer Group Holdings Limited (NYSE:TGH; JSE: TXT)
(“Textainer”, “we”, and “our”), one of the world’s largest lessors of intermodal containers, today announced
that Textainer Marine Containers VII Limited ("TMCL VII"), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company, priced a new debt offering of $651 million of fixed-rate asset-backed notes, comprised of $605
million in Class A Notes and $46 million in Class B Notes (collectively the “Notes”). When issued, the
Notes will have a fixed coupon with a weighted average effective annual interest rate of 2.29% and a
weighted average life of approximately five years. The Notes will be secured by a pledge of TMCL VII’s
assets. When issued, the Class A and Class B Notes are expected to be rated A(sf) and BBB(sf), respectively,
by Standard & Poor’s. The related closing is expected to occur on April 20, 2021. Once closed,
approximately $300 million of the issuance proceeds will be used to repay in full the remaining TMCL VII
2019-1 notes which have a weighted average effective annual interest rate of 4.06%. The balance will be
used to pay down bank facility debt, which in turn is intended to lower overall borrowing costs, free up
bank facility capacity for additional container investments and increase the fixed rate portion of our overall
debt.

The Notes were offered within the United States only to qualified institutional investors pursuant to Rule
144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), to institutional “accredited
investors” as defined in the Securities Act and to persons outside the United States in compliance with
Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act, or any
state securities laws, and unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States except
pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the
Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.
This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any security and
shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offering would be
unlawful.
