Textainer Increases Share Repurchase Authorization by $25 Million

HAMILTON, Bermuda, March 30, 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 $25 million of the Company's outstanding common shares.  The authorization is effective immediately and adds to the previous $25 million program, which had approximately $1.0 million remaining authorized and available for repurchase as of March 27, 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 our 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.
