Current Market Environment Challenging Leasing companies facing heavy pricing pressure  Market leasing rates well below portfolio averages  New container prices reaching new lows due to drop in steel prices Widely available low-cost financing fueling aggressive competition Used container sale prices down approximately 20% from last year Leasing demand in 2015 has been weaker than expected Global trade growth below expectations, Asia to Europe especially weak Pick-up activity was very slow in what is typically the peak demand season Off-hire volumes higher than expected Expect container supply and demand balance to improve in 2016; pricing pressures will continue Limited new container production in 2nd half 2015 to bring container supply down New container prices and interest rates remain low Expect profitability and cash flows to remain solid but under pressure 11

Purchase Accounting Overview Purchase accounting only impacts the new holding company; no impact to financing entities or structures Balance Sheet  Reduction to the carrying value of certain revenue earning assets Lease intangible asset capitalizes above market lease rates on existing leases   Income Statement  Depreciation reduced prospectively due to lower carrying value of revenue earning assets  Overall depreciation policies for Triton and TAL International are closely aligned, and will be harmonized at closing  Lease intangible will be amortized over remaining life of leases Impact on projected net income expected to be slightly negative in 2016, neutral in 2017 and increasingly positive thereafter   Cash Flow  No impact  33
