ANNOUNCED RETIREMENT OF DIRECTORS

Trencor Limited, a company organized under the laws of the Republic of South Africa (“Trencor”) and the holder of a 48.3% beneficiary interest in Textainer Group Holdings Limited (“Textainer”)(NYSE: TGH) publicly announced on February 26, 2016 the retirement of Neil Jowell and Cecil Jowell (the “Jowell brothers”) from their positions as Executive Directors of Trencor effective 7 June 2016. This announcement also disclosed that the Jowell brothers intend to resign from their position as members of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Textainer. It is currently anticipated that the retirements of the Jowell brothers from the Textainer Board will occur at the end of the May 2016 Textainer Board meeting held in Bermuda. The Jowell brothers’ terms on the Textainer Board are scheduled to expire upon the 2017 Textainer Annual Meeting of Shareholders. It is presently expected that the remaining members of the Textainer Board will select and approve individuals to fill the vacancies on the Board caused by the retirements of the Jowell brothers and such individuals will serve until the scheduled expiration of the Jowell brothers’ Board term in 2017. The Textainer Board, management and employees wish the Jowell brothers a well-deserved retirement and thank them for their many years of dedicated and exceptional service to Textainer.
