Triton Announces Redemption of $821 Million of Institutional Senior Secured Notes

(June 2, 2021) Triton International Limited (NYSE: TRTN) today announced that its subsidiary, Triton Container International Limited (“TCIL”), has given notice of its intention to redeem approximately $821 million in aggregate principal amount of its outstanding institutional senior secured notes (the “Notes”). The Notes will be redeemed on June 28, 2021 (“Redemption Date”) in accordance with the optional redemption provisions in the agreement governing the Notes. TCIL intends to use borrowings under its term loan facility to fund the redemption.

The Notes to be redeemed are the following:

  • $91,428,570 principal amount of 3.71% Senior Secured Notes, Series 2014-A-1, due June 30, 2024 (CUSIP No. G8967# AP8);
  • $220,000,000 principal amount of 4.26% Senior Secured Notes, Series 2014-A-2, due June 30, 2026 (CUSIP No. G8967# AQ6);
  • $18,240,000 principal amount of 3.23% Senior Secured Notes, Series 2015-A-1, due March 31, 2022 (CUSIP No. G8967# AR4);
  • $26,057,143 principal amount of 3.61% Senior Secured Notes, Series 2015-A-2, due March 31, 2025 (CUSIP No. G8967# AS2);
  • $215,200,000 principal amount of 3.91% Senior Secured Notes, Series 2015-A-3, due March 31, 2027 (CUSIP No. G8967# ATO);
  • $105,000,000 principal amount of 4.35% Senior Secured Notes, Series 2017-A-1, due June 30, 2027 (CUSIP No. G8967# AU7); and
  • $145,000,000 principal amount of 4.64% Senior Secured Notes, Series 2017-A-2, due June 30, 2029 (CUSIP No. G8967# AV5).

The total redemption price of the Notes includes the approximately $821 million of aggregate principal amount, together with an estimated make-whole premium of approximately $90 million, to be finalized one business day prior to the Redemption Date in accordance with the agreement governing the Notes. The redemption price will also include accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.

The Notes being redeemed have a weighted average effective interest rate of 4.14%, which is significantly above Triton’s current debt funding costs. Triton expects to recover the vast majority of the make-whole premium for the Notes through lower financing costs. Following the redemption, TCIL will have approximately $560 million of remaining institutional notes outstanding, with an average effective interest rate of 4.85%.

“The prepayment of these Notes, together with our recent issuances of senior secured investment grade bonds with fall-away collateral provisions, are key components of our strategy to transition a large portion of our debt capital structure to unsecured investment grade bonds,” said John Burns, Chief Financial Officer. We believe this transition will provide us with access to a deeper pool of debt capital at tighter spreads, further differentiating Triton from our peers.”

This news release is for informational purposes only and does not constitute a notice of redemption, nor an offer to tender for, or purchase, any Notes or any other securities of TCIL.
