HAMILTON, Bermuda, Sept. 14, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Textainer
Group Holdings Limited (NYSE: TGH; JSE: TXT) ("Textainer", "the
Company", "we" and "our"), one of the world's largest lessors of
intermodal containers, today announced that Textainer's Board of
Directors authorized an increase to the Company's share repurchase
program of up to $50 million of the Company's outstanding
common shares. The authorization is effective immediately and
adds to the previous $50 million program, which had
approximately $1.0 million remaining
authorized and available for repurchase as of September 11, 2020. Purchases under the
share repurchase program may be made from time to time through open
market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or such other
manners as will comply with applicable laws and regulations.
"The increase to our existing share repurchase program reflects
our confidence in the strength of our business, financial resources
and long-term outlook. We remain committed to delivering
value to our shareholders while maintaining a strong financial
position to support the future growth of our business," said
Olivier Ghesquiere, President and
Chief Executive Officer of Textainer.
The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend
on a variety of factors including price, corporate and regulatory
requirements, market conditions and other corporate liquidity
requirements and priorities. The repurchase program does not
obligate Textainer to purchase any number of shares and there is no
guarantee as to the exact number of shares that will be repurchased
by Textainer. Textainer may suspend, modify or terminate the
program at any time and for any reason, without prior notice.
The Company intends to finance the repurchases with free cash
flow and excess cash and available liquidity.
