Financing Facilities Now Total Almost $1 Billion

HAMILTON, Bermuda, Jun 29, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Textainer Group Holdings Limited (NYSE: TGH) ("Textainer" ), the world's largest lessor of intermodal containers based on fleet size, today announced that Textainer Marine Containers Limited ("TMCL"), Textainer's primary asset owning subsidiary, extended and increased the size of its securitization facility.

The total commitment under the securitization facility increased from $475 million to $750 million. The interest rate is 2.75% over LIBOR during an initial two-year revolving period. If the securitization facility is not refinanced or renewed during this two-year period, the facility is structured to amortize over 10 years, but not to exceed the maximum term of 15 years.

"We are extremely pleased to extend and increase the size of TMCL's securitization facility," said John Maccarone, Textainer's President and Chief Executive Officer. "The $750 million facility significantly expands our access to capital during a challenging credit environment and strengthens our relationships with global lending institutions. With this agreement, we have added five new banks to four existing banks, resulting in a stronger and more diverse lending group for the benefit of the Company and its shareholders. We believe the success of this transaction underscores our leadership position and demonstrates the participating banks' strong confidence in and commitment to Textainer."

"This securitization facility further strengthens our capital structure and complements our $205 million bank revolver, which matures in 2013. These two facilities total almost $1 billion, solidifying our ability to continue to grow both organically and through acquisitions as we have done in the past."

Mr. Maccarone added, "We appreciate the ongoing support Textainer has received from leading banks. We would like to thank Wells Fargo Securities for structuring and placing the facility, Fortis Bank SA/NV and ING Bank as Mandated Lead Arrangers as well as Bank of America and SunTrust Bank as Managing Agents. We would also like to thank Fortis Bank Netherland, Credit Suisse AG, BTMU Capital Corporation and DVB Bank for their participation."
