Textainer Group Holdings Limited (NYSE: TGH; JSE: TXT)
(“
Textainer”), one of the world’s largest lessors
of intermodal containers, today announced that it completed the
previously announced acquisition of Textainer by investment
vehicles managed by Stonepeak.
All common shares of Textainer converted into the right to
receive $50.00 per share in cash. The per share consideration paid
to shareholders on the JSE will be in South African Rand at an
exchange rate of 18.98821 Rand for each USD 1.00. The common
shares, which trade on the New York Stock Exchange (the
“NYSE”) under the ticker symbol “TGH”, were
suspended from trading today prior to the open of market and will
be delisted from the NYSE within 10 days.
In addition, Textainer intends to file a certification on Form
15F with the SEC requesting the termination of registration of the
common shares under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and the
suspension of Textainer’s reporting obligations under Section 13 of
the Exchange Act with respect to the common shares.
Also on March 14, 2024, after the closing of the acquisition,
Textainer issued a notice of redemption for all its (i) 7.000%
Series A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preference Shares (the
“Series A Preference Shares”) and the
corresponding redemption of each depositary share representing a
1/1000th interest in each such share, CUSIP 88314W204 (NYSE: TGH
PRA) (the “Series A Depositary Shares”), and (ii)
6.250% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preference Shares
(the “Series B Preference Shares” and,
collectively with the Series A Preference Shares, the
“Preference Shares”) and the corresponding
redemption of each depositary share representing a 1/1000th
interest in each such share, CUSIP 88314W303 (NYSE: TGH PRB) (the
“Series B Depositary Shares”).
The redemption date for the Preference Shares and corresponding
depositary shares will be April 15, 2024 (the “Redemption
Date”). The redemption price for (i) each Series A
Preference Shares will be $25,150.69 and (ii) each Series B
Preference Share will be $25,134.55 (representing, in each case,
$25,000 plus all accumulated and unpaid distributions to, but not
including, the Redemption Date, whether or not declared). The
corresponding depositary share redemption price will be (i) $25.15
per Series A Depositary Share and (ii) $25.13 per Series B
Depositary Share (representing, in each case, $25.00 plus all
accumulated and unpaid distributions to, but not including, the
Redemption Date, whether or not declared).
Regular quarterly dividends on the Preference Shares and
depositary shares are payable March 15, 2024, to each holder of
record on March 1, 2024. No dividends on the Preference Shares and
depositary shares will accrue on or after the Redemption Date, nor
will any interest accrue on amounts held to pay the redemption
price.
Following the redemption of the Preference Shares and depositary
shares, Textainer will request that the NYSE delist the depositary
shares.
In addition, Textainer intends to file a certification on Form
15F with the SEC requesting the termination of registration of the
Series A Preference Shares and the Series B Preference Shares under
Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act and the suspension of Textainer’s
reporting obligations under Section 13 of the Exchange Act with
respect to the Preference Shares.
