Board Practices

Our corporate governance practices are in compliance with, and are not prohibited by, the laws of Bermuda. Therefore, we are exempt from many of the New York Stock Exchange’s (“NYSE”) corporate governance practices, other than the establishment of a formal Audit Committee satisfying the requirements of Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and notification of non-compliance with NYSE listing requirements. The practices that we follow in lieu of the NYSE’s corporate governance rules are described below.

Sustainability Considerations

Our Board and Management are mindful of the long-term impacts that the Company’s activities will have on the environment and our communities around the world. The container shipping industry plays a key role in furthering world trade and hence driving economic development which is critical for economic growth and underpins the long-term resilience of our business. Our leadership is committed to ensuring we play a meaningful role in addressing environmental and social issues facing our industry and ensuring we operate as a responsible corporation in our day-to-day activities. In April 2023 we published our initial Environmental, Social and Governance Summary on our website at https://www.textainer.com/company/sustainability. The contents of our website are not incorporated by reference into this Proxy Statement.

Our Responsibility to the Environment

Our environmental responsibility focuses on minimizing and managing our negative environmental footprint to ensure that we touch the earth lightly.

Containerization and the use of ever larger vessels have a significantly lower environmental footprint than other forms of shipping such as air freight, and we are proud that our container fleet and business have enabled the continued growth of the industry. Additionally, at the end of container’s useful life at sea, they are not sent to landfills and have a myriad of additional uses, including as construction sheds, static storage and as shelter or housing. Containers used for these purposes have a positive environmental benefit by reducing the need to use new materials to create these storage or housing solutions.

Environmental regulations impact container production and operation, including regulations on the use of chemical refrigerants due to their ozone depleting and global warming effects. Textainer is an active member of the International Institute of Container Lessors which has taken a leadership role in the development of codes and standards for the industry. As a result, we are mindful of the full lifecycle of the containers we purchase, lease, and resell.

There are several ways we are working to reduce our carbon footprint on the world, including the use of water-based paints which contribute to a reduction of volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions; replacing tropical hardwood plywood flooring with bamboo sourced from certified plantations; and installing the newest generation of refrigeration machinery in containers which minimizes energy usage.

We have commenced monitoring and disclosing of our greenhouse gas (GHG) footprint. In 2021 we published our GHG footprint on our website. This information is in the “Sustainability” section of our website, Textainer.com. The majority of our direct operational emissions result from Scope 2, electrical energy. We were pleased to see that 17% of our electricity requirements were generated from green and renewable energy.

Our Responsibility to Our Employees

Our company mission to be the most reliable and responsive operator in the industry is supported by our aim to recruit the most highly qualified and motivated employees and provide a work environment that fosters employee growth and development. Our employees work together to achieve more than they could have individually. We balance our people focus with a caring culture, encouraging employees to help and support one another. We are a company of people who value mutual trust and loyalty.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Textainer prioritized the safety of our employees by implementing remote work capabilities with a flexible schedule policy. We have also kept all employees continuously informed on our business during this time through quarterly, management-driven conference calls.

Within the last 15 years, Textainer’s headcount has remained stable and is currently approximately 160 employees, even as our total fleet of owned and managed shipping containers has nearly tripled. We pride ourselves in our agility and proactivity, which is only possible thanks to our local presence with local employees. We believe in empowering and supporting local and diverse talent across our regional offices.

Textainer’s culture is comprised of:

We have a number of practices and policies for recruiting, managing, developing employees and optimizing an employee’s experience to ensure we have the skill sets in the workforce that can respond effectively to our customers’ needs. The following is more detail about our employees and employment practices:

Board and Committee Meetings

Director and Senior Management Compensation

Compensation Objectives

The Board and the Compensation Committee believe that compensation for executive officers should reward executives for their contributions with a substantial portion of the compensation being “at risk” and tied to corporate performance. Individual performance and key contributions to the success of our business are also substantially weighted in compensation packages.

Our executive compensation program seeks to:

The Compensation Committee oversees our compensation programs, including our annual short-term and equity-based long term stock compensation program, and in doing so, reviews each annually to see that they do not encourage excessive risk taking. We believe that our compensation practices, which link a substantial portion of executive pay to the Company’s long-term performance and include claw-back provisions to recoup compensation paid to those determined to have acted inappropriately, mitigate excessive risk taking. We also have a policy prohibiting employees from engaging in speculative transactions involving our common shares, including prohibitions on short term trading in Company shares and hedging or pledging transactions.

Recent Compensation Program Changes

In October 2020, the Compensation Committee and the Board made substantial changes to our executive compensation program to better align short and long-term compensation with the performance of our Company and increasing shareholder value:

The Compensation Committee and the Board believe that these changes better align our executive compensation with the interests of our shareholders. Further information on the historic and revised STIP and LTIP programs is set forth below.

Compensation Determination

The compensation programs for our executive officers are designed to offer compensation that is competitive with compensation offered by our competitors and other similar companies in the finance and equipment leasing industries.

Our Compensation Committee is comprised of four independent directors: Dudley Cottingham (Chair), James Earl, Lisa Young and David Nurek. In accordance with its charter, the Compensation Committee is responsible for establishing and overseeing our compensation and benefit philosophies, plans and practices, including the compensation for our executive officers.

The Compensation Committee determines and approves the compensation of, and annually evaluates the performance of, the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer (both of whom are our senior executives) and the other executive officers in light of the goals and objectives of the Company’s executive compensation plans. The Compensation Committee has the authority under its charter to retain compensation consultants to assist it in setting executive compensation and it has historically used Willis Towers Watson and other independent consulting firms to conduct benchmarking and compensation analysis information.

The Compensation Committee consistently has sought to provide compensation packages to our executive officers that are competitive and market-based. Compensation determinations are based on executive and Company performance relative to goals and targets, historic compensation levels and market data on comparable company compensation and performance. In general, the overall compensation for our executive officers is comprised of a mix of base salary, STIP and LTIP. Executive officers like all employees are entitled to participate in our defined contribution 401(k) plan where the Company matches employee contributions to a specified maximum. Executive officers participate in our employee benefit programs, such as health insurance, on the same basis and at the same cost as other employees.

The Compensation Committee, with analytical assistance from Willis Towers Watson, uses peer company data to facilitate its review of the total compensation of our executive officers and to understand market competitive compensation. The Compensation Committee focuses on ensuring that the elements of our executive compensation program are consistent with peer and industry trends. The Compensation Committee does not target compensation to any specific percentile or range compared to peer data for any specific element of compensation or total compensation. Mr. Ghesquiere provides input and recommendations to the Compensation Committee on the compensation of executive officers other than himself. No other executive officer participates in the determination of executive officer compensation.

Base Salary

The Compensation Committee reviews executive officer base salaries annually in an effort to ensure that they are competitive with market levels, appropriate for the job function, responsibility and skills and qualifications of the executive. Cost of living, or inflation adjustments, are also typically made annually to base salaries from the salary in the prior year. The Compensation Committee may also consider the base salaries paid to similarly-positioned executives by peer organizations, individual performance of each of our executive officers and overall Company performance.

Short-Term Incentive Program (STIP)

The Compensation Committee believes that our STIP, which provides an annual cash bonus to all employees, including our executive officers, based on performance relative to Company and individual achievement goals provides executives’ incentives to increase shareholder value and helps ensure that we attract and retain talented personnel. The Compensation Committee and the Board review and set objective performance criteria when determining the yearly STIP program.

For calendar year 2020 and prior years, the annual STIP for our executive officers and other employees (excluding our senior executives) was based on a weighting of 30% of individual performance and 70% Company performance relative to budgeted metrics. The company performance targets for 2020 and prior years generally have been Company net income and Company return on equity (ROE). The targeted amounts are determined in an annual Company budget that is subject to Board approval and typically set in the fourth quarter of the year prior to the STIP year. In 2020, 2021 and 2022, 70% of the Company performance target was the net income target and 30% was the ROE target. STIP payments are subject to a multiplier, with a payout of 200% possible with performance at 120% of target. The performance threshold for a STIP payment was at least 50% of targeted performance. STIP awards earned by our executive officers are subject to our claw-back policy in the event an award payment was impacted by financial impropriety of the grantee.

To align our compensation closer to Company performance and to reward executive officers for their contributions, starting in calendar year 2021 the STIP for our executive officers was changed so STIP payments for executive officers will only occur if Company performance is at least 80% of targeted performance (previously the minimum threshold was 50%) and STIP award targets as a percentage of base salary were increased for executive officers to bring compensation closer to market levels.

In 2022, our executive officers received 200% of their target STIP incentive award that applied to calendar year 2021 performance with the incentive award paid in early 2022 and is included below in the compensation amounts detailed for senior executives in 2022. The STIP achievement for calendar year 2022 was at 125% of the targeted performance for all STIP participants, including our executive officers with payout occurred in March 2023 and these amounts will be included in the total compensation amount detailed for senior executives for 2023.

Long-Term Incentive Program (LTIP)

Our LTIP is a share-based program that provides variable “at risk” compensation in the form of equity awards to executive officers to align their compensation with the growth in long-term value for our shareholders, to motivate executive officers in achieving long-range goals and for long term retention. The Compensation Committee administers our 2019 Share Incentive Plan and determines the individuals eligible to receive awards, the types of awards, the number of common shares subject to the awards, the value and timing of awards, and the other terms, conditions, performance criteria and restrictions on the awards. LTIP awards earned by our executive officers are subject to our claw-back policy in the event an award payment was impacted by financial impropriety of the grantee.

For grants made in 2019 and prior years, the LTIP program consisted of 50% share options and 50% restricted share grants, each of which vested 25% annually over four years. Additionally, we historically granted a reasonably consistent total number of shares year to year regardless of changes in the share price of the Company common shares. For grants made since 2020, the Compensation Committee made substantial changes to our LTIP program in order to target granting awards with consistent annual initial dollar values based on an employee’s position and salary grade. Further for Company vice presidents and above, the Compensation Committee determined that 75% of the annual award value would be in the form of performance-based restricted shares and 25% in the form of restricted share units that vest one third per year over three years. The performance-based restricted shares have a cliff vesting three years after grant and the vesting percentage are solely based on the relative performance of the total shareholder return on the Company’s common shares compared to the Total Shareholder Return (rTSR) of the Russell 2000 index as measured over the vesting period. If the Company’s rTSR is in the 50th percentile of the Russell index, 100% of the grant shall vest. If Company rTSR is at the 25th percentile of the Russell index, 50% of the grant shall vest and if performance is at the 75th or greater percentile of the Russell index, 200% of the grant shall vest. None of the performance based restricted shares shall vest if performance is below the 25th percentile of the Russell index.

The changes to the LTIP program make 75% of executive officers’ share based compensation subject to the Company’s share price performance relative to a market index and align executive compensation to shareholder returns so executive officers will not disproportionately benefit if the Company does not outperform the market index.

Total Executive Compensation for 2022

The aggregate direct compensation we paid to our two senior executives (CEO and CFO) as a group for the year ended December 31, 2022 was approximately $4,157,000, which included approximately $1,598,000 in STIP bonuses paid in 2022 (representing STIP earned for calendar year 2021 but paid in early 2022), approximately $1,353,000 in restricted stock awards that vested in 2022 from grants made in prior years, and approximately $17,000 funds set aside or accrued to provide for retirement or similar benefits. This amount does not include expenses we incurred for other payments, including dues for professional and business associations, health insurance, business travel and other expenses, which amounted to approximately $154,000. We did not pay our senior executives who also serve as directors any separate compensation for their directorship during 2022, other than reimbursements for travel expenses.

The direct compensation paid to our two senior executives composed of the following in 2022, 2021 and 2020:

During 2022, our two senior executives (CEO and CFO) as a group were granted 89,406 performance-based restricted share units and 32,308 time-based restricted share units through our 2019 Share Incentive Plan. As noted above under the discussion of our LTIP program, 75% of the awards granted in 2022 were performance-based restricted share units and 25% of the awards were time-based restricted share units.

Our two senior executives received the following LTIP awards in 2022, 2021 and 2020:

Director Compensation

The aggregate direct compensation we paid to our directors who are not officers for their services as directors as a group for the year ended December 31, 2022 was approximately $1,869,000, which included approximately $1,104,000 in restricted stock awards granted in 2022. This amount does not include $1,094,000 in restricted stock awards value that vested in 2022 from grants made in the prior year. Each director who is not an officer is entitled to a base annual cash retainer of $60,000 (with the exception of the Chairman of the Board who receives an additional base annual cash retainer of $30,000) plus a restricted stock grant valued at $120,000 on the date of grant (with the exception of the Chairman of the Board who receives an additional restricted stock grant value of $24,000). This grant vests in full one year after grant. During 2022, our non-executive directors as a group were granted 34,362 time-based restricted share units through our 2019 Share Incentive Plan.

Additionally, members of our Audit and Risk Committee receive an additional $15,000 annually, members of the Compensation Committee receive $10,000 annually, members of the Governance and Nominating Committee receive $10,000 annually and members of our Operations Committee receive $10,000 annually. The head of the Audit and Risk Committee receives an additional annual fee of $15,000 and the head of all other Committees receive an additional annual fee of $10,000. Directors were also reimbursed for expenses incurred to attend board or committee meetings which amounted to approximately $104,000 during 2022.

PROPOSAL FOUR

APPROVAL OF THE AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY’S BYE-LAWS TO DELETE THE ENTIRETY OF BYE-LAW 75 TO REMOVE “POISON PILL” PROVISIONS WHICH EXCLUDE THE VOTING RIGHTS OF MAJOR SHAREHOLDERS CONSIDERED “INTERESTED SHAREHOLDERS” IN CERTAIN BUSINESS COMIBNATIONS

At the 2023 Annual Meeting, shareholders will be asked to approve the amendment to the Company’s Bye-Laws (the “Bye-Laws”) to delete the entirety of Bye-Law 75. Bye-Law 75 requires the approval of the Board of Directors and shareholder approval by the affirmative vote of at least 66% of the issued and outstanding voting shares of the Company that are not owned by the “Interested Shareholder” for “Business Combination” (as such capitalized terms are defined in Bye-Law 75) transactions with “Interested Shareholders” if these occur within three years of the date a party becomes an Interested Shareholder. An “Interested Shareholder” is generally a party that has acquired more than 15% of the Company’s issued and outstanding voting shares. The text of Bye-Law 75 is set forth in its entirety in Appendix A. The full text of the Company’s existing Bye-Laws are available on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website, sec.gov as Exhibit 3.2 of Company’s initial F-1 registration statement filed on September 26, 2007. The following is a link to that exhibit:

https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1413159/000119312507207391/dex32.htm

Certain shareholders of the Company and corporate governance advocates consider provisions like Bye-Law 75 to be “anti-takeover” provisions, also known as “poison pill” provisions, as these provisions require additional approval requirements, such as the Board of Directors approval requirement in Bye-Law 75, when a major shareholder attempts to pursue a transaction that may result in a change in control of a company. At the request of a shareholder of the Company, the Company’s Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee reviewed and discussed Bye-Law 75 and determined to recommend to the full Board of Directors for the deletion of the entirety of Bye-Law 75 from the Bye-Laws. The Board of Directors has approved this recommendation and now proposes and recommends that the Company’s shareholders vote in favor of the deletion of the entirety of Bye-Law 75 from the Bye-Laws. If the deletion of Bye-Law 75 is approved by shareholders, a future merger, amalgamation or corporate transaction involving the Company may still require certain Board of Directors and/or shareholder approvals under the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda or other applicable law, however, absent the language in Bye-Law 75, the alternative approval standard which excludes from voting the voting shares owned by a majority shareholder meeting the “Interested Shareholder” definition would not be applicable. The Board of Directors believes it is an important corporate governance improvement to delete Bye-Law 75 and asks that the shareholders vote in favor of this resolution.

The proposal to delete Bye-Law 75 was submitted to shareholders for a vote at the 2022 Annual Meeting in May 2022. At that meeting 97.6% of the shares that voted on the proposal supported the deletion of Bye-Law 75. However the resolution failed to pass as slightly less than 66% of our issued and outstanding shares voted in favor of the resolution given limited vote turnout at the 2022 Annual Meeting. In addition to the reasons noted above to support the deletion of Bye-Law 75, based on the strong support of shareholders who voted on the resolution at the 2022 Annual Meeting, the Board of Directors has determined to resubmit this matter for a vote of shareholders at the 2023 Annual Meeting and encourages shareholders to again support the proposal.

Vote Required

Adoption of Proposal Four requires the affirmative vote of not less than 66% of the issued and outstanding voting shares of the Company at this 2023 Annual General Meeting.

Our Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote FOR the approval of the amendment to the Company’s Bye-Laws to delete the entirety of Bye-Law 75 as set forth in Proposal Four and to approve and adopt the Bye-Laws of the Company as amended thereby in substitution for and to the exclusion of all the existing Bye-Laws thereof.

Other Matters

Our Board of Directors is currently unaware of any other matters to come before the 2023 Annual Meeting other than as set forth in the accompanying Notice of 2023 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders and as more specifically described in this Proxy Statement. Each Common Share represented by a properly executed proxy which is returned and not revoked will be voted in accordance with the proxyholder’s best judgment as to any other business as may properly come before the 2023 Annual Meeting.
