The transaction included US$523.5 million in Class A Notes and $26.5 million in Class B Notes (Notes). Proceeds from the issuance were used primarily to pay down debt in our bank facilities.

Textainer issued the fixed-rate, asset-backed notes to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 (Act) and to non-US persons under Regulation S promulgated under the Act.

It leases containers to approximately 250 customers, and its fleet consists of standard dry freight, refrigerated intermodal containers, and dry freight specials. 

Catherine Hagerty and Bill Veatch (San Francisco) led the US team, which included Chana Ben-Zacharia, Bill Cavanagh, Kevin ProkupMarian Baldwin Fuerst, Christy Rivera; and Roy Goldman (New York); and Melanie King (San Francisco).
