TRENCOR`S TEXTAINER RECEIVES U.S. NATIONAL DEFENSE TRANSPORTATION ASSOCIATION
QUALITY AWARD
We draw attention to the following news release issued by Textainer Group
Holdings Limited, in which Trencor has a 62,6% beneficial interest:
"Hamilton, Bermuda, May 1, 2008 (Business Wire) - Textainer Group Holdings
Limited (NYSE: TGH) ("Textainer" or the "Company"), the world`s largest lessor
of intermodal containers based on fleet size, received the prestigious National
Defense Transportation Association (NDTA) Quality Award on April 30, 2008 at the
Military Surface Deployment and Distribution Command (SDDC) Symposium in
Orlando, Florida.
The award was presented to John A. Maccarone, President and CEO of Textainer by
General Kenneth Wykle (Ret), NTDA President, and Major General Kathleen M.
Gainey, SDDC Commanding General. The award citation follows:
"Textainer contributed significantly to supporting war fighter requirements and
the SDDC`s performance through their execution of the Single Leasing Container
contract.
During 2007, Textainer provided more than 39,000 leased containers on over 250
delivery orders totaling $20 million for the DoD in direct support of Operations
Iraqi and Enduring Freedom. Their multifaceted support proved to be the key to
the successful deployment / redeployment and sustainment of U.S. and Coalition
Forces in the entire Central Command Area of Operation. Textainer`s better than
95% on-time delivery performance exceeded expectations and was the corner stone
in the successful unit deployment and redeployment of military cargo and the
movement of sustainment containers supporting movement to the Forward Operating
Bases. Their effort in support of Central Command operations has resulted in
cost avoidance to the government in excess of $24 million.
Textainer`s equipment management team through close coordination with Pacific
Command customers enabled them to attain a 100% on-time delivery rate for
Exercise TURBO CADS 07. Textainer always expresses a "can do" attitude when it
comes to their operations."
"We are just completing the fifth year of our expected ten year contract as the
exclusive supplier of leased containers to the U.S. Military," said Mr.
Maccarone.
"Having completed delivery orders for more than 100,000 containers and chassis
to date, 2007 was by far the busiest year of the contract. Our team worked very
hard to achieve the accomplishments mentioned in the award citation, and I am
very pleased that they have been recognized for their efforts."
