with Regulation S promulgated under the Act. The Notes comprise of $350 million in
Class A and $70 million in Class B Notes rated A(sf) and BBB(sf), respectively, by

debt. The Notes are secured by a pledge of TMCL V’s intermodal shipping container
assets.
The Notes were well received by investors, as the offering was significantly over-

intermodal container lessors,” commented Hilliard C. Terry, III, Textainer’s Executive
