In addition, we, or our executive officers on our behalf, may from time to time make forward-looking statements in reports and other documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), or in connection with oral statements made to the press, potential investors or others. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, including statements regarding our strategy, future operations, future financial position, future revenues, future costs, prospects, plans and objectives including any statements relating to the pending transaction with Brookfield Infrastructure Corporation, are forward-looking statements. The words "expect," "estimate," "anticipate," "predict," "believe," "think," "plan," "will," "should," "intend," "seek," "potential" and similar expressions and variations are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words.

All forward-looking statements address matters that involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond Triton's control. Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in such statements and, therefore, you should not place undue reliance on any such statements. These factors include, without limitation, economic, business, competitive, market and regulatory conditions and the following:

•risks relating to the pending acquisition of Triton by Brookfield Infrastructure Corporation (the ”Merger”), including the risk that the proposed Merger may not be completed in a timely manner or at all; the failure to receive, on a timely basis or otherwise, the required approvals of the proposed Merger by Triton’s shareholders; the possibility that any or all of the various conditions to the consummation of the proposed Merger may not be satisfied or waived, including the failure to receive any required regulatory approvals from any applicable governmental entities (or any conditions, limitations or restrictions placed on such approvals); the possibility that competing offers or acquisition proposals for Triton will be made; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement relating to the proposed Merger, including in circumstances which would require Triton to pay a termination fee; incurring substantial costs related to the proposed Merger; the effect of the announcement, pendency of the proposed Merger, or any failure to successfully complete the proposed Merger on Triton’s ability to attract, motivate or retain key executives and employees, our ability to maintain relationships with customers, vendors and others with whom Triton does business; risks related to the proposed Merger diverting management’s attention from Triton’s ongoing business operations; and the risk of shareholder litigation in connection with the proposed Merger, including resulting expense or delay;

•decreases in the demand for leased containers;

•increases in the cost of repairing and storing our off-hire containers;

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1—Description of the Business, Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policy Updates

Description of the Business

Triton International Limited ("Triton" or the "Company"), through its subsidiaries, leases intermodal transportation equipment, primarily maritime containers, and provides maritime container management services through a worldwide network of service subsidiaries, third-party depots and other facilities. The majority of the Company's business is derived from leasing its containers to shipping line customers through a variety of long-term and short-term contractual lease arrangements. The Company also sells containers from its equipment leasing fleet as well as containers specifically acquired for resale from third parties. The Company's registered office is located in Bermuda.

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

The interim Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2023; the Consolidated Statements of Operations, the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, and the Consolidated Statements of Shareholders' Equity for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022; and the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 are unaudited. The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2022, included herein, was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the Company's annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary to state fairly the Company's financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the periods presented. The financial data and the other financial information disclosed in the notes to the financial statements related to these periods are also unaudited. The consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023 or for any other future annual or interim period.

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 14, 2023. The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain changes in presentation have been made to conform the prior period presentation to current period reporting.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the financial statements. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, the Company's estimates in connection with leasing equipment, including residual values and depreciable lives, values of assets held for sale and other long lived assets, provision for income tax, allowance for doubtful accounts, share-based compensation, goodwill and intangible assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company's equipment leases and trade receivables subject it to potential credit risk. The Company extends credit to its customers based upon an evaluation of each customer's financial condition and credit history. Evaluations of the financial condition and associated credit risk of customers are performed on an ongoing basis. The Company's three largest customers accounted for 20%, 17%, and 13%, respectively, of the Company's lease billings for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

The Company recognizes share-based compensation expense for share-based payment transactions based on the grant date fair value. The expense is recognized over the employee's requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the equity award. The Company recognized share-based compensation expense in administrative expenses of $2.2 million and $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Share-based compensation expense includes charges for performance-based shares and units that are deemed probable to vest.

As of March 31, 2023, the total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested restricted share awards and units was $18.2 million, which is expected to be recognized on a straight-line basis through January 2026.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company issued 135,716 restricted shares, and canceled 77,326 vested shares to settle payroll taxes on behalf of employees. Additional shares may be issued based upon the satisfaction of certain performance criteria.

Note 5—Other Equity Matters

Share Repurchase Program

The Company's Board of Directors authorized repurchases of shares up to a specified dollar amount as part of its repurchase program. Purchases under the repurchase program may be made in the open market or privately negotiated transactions, and may include transactions pursuant to a repurchase plan administered in accordance with Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Purchases may be made from time to time at the Company's

discretion and the timing and amount of any share repurchases will be determined based on share price, market conditions, legal requirements, and other factors. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common shares, and the Company may suspend or discontinue the repurchase program at any time.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company repurchased a total of 1,744,616 common shares at an average price per-share of $67.02 for a total of $116.9 million. As of March 31, 2023, $241.6 million remains available under the Share Repurchase Program.

Preferred Shares

The following table summarizes the Company's preferred share issuances (each, a "Series"):

(1) Represents number of shares authorized, issued, and outstanding.

Each Series of preferred shares may be redeemed at the Company's option, at any time after approximately five years from original issuance, in whole or in part at a redemption price, plus an amount equal to all accumulated and unpaid dividends, whether or not declared. The Company may also redeem each Series of preferred shares prior to the lapse of the five year period upon the occurrence of certain events as described in each instrument, such as transactions that either transfer ownership of substantially all assets to a single entity or establish a majority voting interest by a single entity, and cause a downgrade or withdrawal of rating by the rating agency within 60 days of the event. If the Company does not elect to redeem each Series upon the occurrence of the preceding events, holders of preferred shares may have the right to convert their preferred shares into common shares. Specifically for Series E only, the Company may redeem the Series E Preference Shares if an applicable rating agency changes the methodology or criteria that were employed in assigning equity credit to securities similar to the Series E Preference Shares when originally issued, which either (a) shortens the period of time during which equity credit pertaining to the Series E Preference Shares would have been in effect had the methodology not been changed or (b) reduces the amount of equity credit as compared with the amount of equity credit that the rating agency had assigned to the Series E Preference Shares when originally issued.

Holders of preferred shares generally have no voting rights. If the Company fails to pay dividends for six or more quarterly periods (whether or not consecutive), holders will be entitled to elect two additional directors to the Board of Directors and the size of the Board of Directors will be increased to accommodate such election. Such right to elect two directors will continue until such time as there are no accumulated and unpaid dividends in arrears.

Dividends

Dividends on shares of each Series are cumulative from the date of original issue and will be payable quarterly in arrears on the 15th day of March, June, September and December of each year, when, as and if declared by the Company's Board of Directors. Dividends will be payable equal to the stated rate per annum of the $25.00 liquidation preference per share. The Series rank senior to the Company's common shares with respect to dividend rights and rights upon the Company's liquidation, dissolution or winding up, whether voluntary or involuntary.

(2) The Company's finance leases generally include a purchase option at nominal amounts that is reasonably certain to be exercised, and therefore, the Company has immaterial residual value risk for assets.

(3) The gross finance lease receivable is reduced as billed to customers and reclassified to accounts receivable until paid by customers.

(4) There were no unamortized initial direct costs as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

(5) One major customer represented 90% of the Company's finance lease portfolio as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. No other customer represented more than 10% of the Company's finance lease portfolio in each of those periods.

The Company’s finance lease portfolio lessees are primarily comprised of the largest international shipping lines. In its estimate of expected credit losses, the Company evaluates the overall credit quality of its finance lease portfolio. The Company considers an account past due when a payment has not been received in accordance with the terms of the related lease agreement and maintains allowances, if necessary, for doubtful accounts. These allowances are based on, but not limited to, historical experience which includes stronger and weaker economic cycles, each lessee's payment history, management's current assessment of each lessee's financial condition, consideration of current economic conditions and reasonable market forecasts.

During the first quarter of 2023, we reversed $1.8 million of a reserve established in 2022 on certain finance leases due to better than expected recoveries. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company does not have an allowance on its gross finance lease receivables and does not have any material past due balances.

Asset-Backed Securitization Term Instruments

Under the Company's ABS facilities, indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company enter into debt agreements for ABS term instruments, including ABS notes. These subsidiaries are intended to be bankruptcy remote so that such assets are not available to creditors of the Company or its affiliates until and unless the related secured borrowings have been fully discharged. These transactions do not meet accounting requirements for sales treatment and are recorded as secured borrowings.

The Company’s borrowings under the ABS facilities amortize in monthly installments, typically in level payments over five or more years. These facilities provide for an advance rate against the net book values of designated eligible equipment. The net book values for purposes of calculating eligible equipment is determined according to the related debt agreement and may be different than those calculated per GAAP. The Company is required to maintain restricted cash balances on deposit in designated bank accounts equal to three to nine months of interest expense depending on the terms of each facility.

Asset-Backed Securitization Warehouse

Under the Company’s ABS warehouse facility, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company issues ABS notes. This subsidiary is intended to be bankruptcy remote so that such assets are not available to creditors of the Company or its affiliates until and unless the related secured borrowings have been fully discharged. These transactions do not meet accounting requirements for sales treatment and are recorded as secured borrowings.

The Company's ABS warehouse facility has a borrowing capacity of $1,125.0 million that is available on a revolving basis to April 27, 2025 paying interest at term SOFR plus 1.60%. After the revolving period, borrowings will convert to term notes with a maturity date of April 27, 2029, paying interest at SOFR plus 2.60%.

During the revolving period, the borrowing capacity under this facility is determined by applying an advance rate against the net book values of designated eligible equipment. The net book values for purposes of calculating eligible equipment are determined according to the related debt agreement and may be different than those calculated per GAAP. The Company is required to maintain restricted cash balances on deposit in designated bank accounts equal to three months of interest expense.

Senior Notes

The Company’s senior notes are unsecured and have maturities ranging from 2 - 10 years and interest payments due semi-annually. The senior notes are pre-payable (in whole or in part) at the Company's option at any time prior to the maturity date, subject to certain provisions in the senior note agreements, including the payment of a make-whole premium in respect to such prepayment.

Term Loan Facility

The Company's term loan facility has a maturity date of May 27, 2026, which amortizes in quarterly installments and has a reference rate of term SOFR plus 1.48%. This facility is subject to covenants customary for unsecured financings of this type, primarily financial covenants that require us to maintain a minimum ratio of unencumbered assets to certain financial indebtedness.

Revolving Credit Facility

The revolving credit facility has a maturity date of October 26, 2027, and has a maximum borrowing capacity of $2,000.0 million. The reference rate is term SOFR plus 1.48%. This facility is subject to covenants customary for unsecured financings of this type, primarily financial covenants that require us to maintain a minimum ratio of unencumbered assets to certain financial indebtedness.

The Company hedges the risks associated with fluctuations in interest rates on a portion of its floating-rate debt by entering into interest rate swap agreements that convert a portion of its floating-rate debt to a fixed rate basis, thus reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future interest expense. The following table summarizes the Company's outstanding fixed-rate and floating-rate debt as of March 31, 2023:


	Balance Outstanding (in thousands)	Contractual Weighted Avg Interest Rate	Maturity Range		Weighted Avg Remaining Term
			From	To
Excluding impact of derivative instruments:
Fixed-rate debt	$5,712,965	2.08%	Aug 2023	Mar 2032	4.3 years

Unhedged floating-rate debt	$923,250	6.30%
Total debt	$7,963,965	2.84%

The fair value of total debt outstanding was $7,199.3 million and $7,264.7 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and was measured using Level 2 inputs.

As of March 31, 2023, the maximum borrowing levels for the ABS warehouse and the revolving credit facilities are $1,125.0 million and $2,000.0 million, respectively. Certain of these facilities are governed by either borrowing bases or an unencumbered asset test that limits borrowing capacity. Based on those limitations, the availability under these credit facilities at March 31, 2023 was approximately $1,334.1 million.

The Company is subject to certain financial covenants under its debt financings. As of March 31, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants in accordance with the terms of its debt agreements.

Note 8—Derivative Instruments

Interest Rate Swaps / Caps

The Company enters into derivative agreements to manage interest rate risk exposure. Interest rate swap agreements are utilized to limit the Company's exposure to interest rate risk by converting a portion of its floating-rate debt to a fixed rate basis, thus reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future interest expense. Interest rate swaps involve the receipt of floating-rate amounts in exchange for fixed-rate interest payments over the lives of the agreements without an exchange of the underlying principal amounts. These swaps are designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes and accordingly, changes in the fair value are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified to interest and debt expense when they are realized.

The Company has entered into offsetting $500.0 million notional interest rate cap agreements with substantially similar economic terms related to certain debt facility requirements. These derivatives are not designated as hedging instruments, and because they offset, changes in fair value have an immaterial impact on the financial statements.

The counterparties to these agreements are highly rated financial institutions. In the unlikely event that the counterparties fail to meet the terms of these agreements, the Company's exposure is limited to the interest rate differential on the notional amount at each monthly settlement period over the life of the agreements. The Company does not anticipate any non-performance by the counterparties.

Certain assets of the Company's subsidiaries are pledged as collateral for various ABS facilities and the amounts payable under certain derivative agreements. Additionally, the Company may be required to post cash collateral on certain derivative agreements if the fair value of these contracts represents a liability. Any amounts of cash collateral posted are included in Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are presented in operating activities of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. As of March 31, 2023, the Company posted cash collateral on derivative instruments of $1.8 million.

Within the next twelve months, we expect to reclassify $40.0 million of net unrealized and realized gains related to derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into earnings.

In the first quarter of 2023, the Company entered into forward starting interest rate swaps with a notional value of $300.0 million that will commence on August 1, 2023 and have a termination date of March 31, 2025. These swaps were designated as cash flow hedges to fix the interest rates on a portion of our floating rate debt.

As of March 31, 2023, the Company had derivative agreements in place to fix interest rates on a portion of the borrowings under its debt facilities with floating interest rates as summarized below:

Fair Value of Derivative Instruments

The Company presents the fair value of derivative financial instruments on a gross basis as a separate line item on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The Company has elected to use the income approach to value its interest rate swap and cap agreements, using Level 2 market expectations at the measurement date and standard valuation techniques to convert future values to a single discounted present value. The Level 2 inputs for the interest rate swap and cap valuations are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (specifically LIBOR and swap rates and credit risk at commonly quoted intervals). In response to the expected phase out of LIBOR, the Company continues to work with its counterparties to identify an alternative reference rate. Substantially all of the Company's derivative agreements have fallback provisions that would govern their transition to another benchmark, and the Company also adopted various practical expedients which will facilitate the transition.

Note 9—Segment and Geographic Information

Segment Information

The Company operates its business in one industry, intermodal transportation equipment, and has two operating segments which also represent its reporting segments:

•Equipment leasing - the Company owns, leases and ultimately disposes of containers and chassis from its lease fleet.

•Equipment trading - the Company purchases containers from shipping line customers, and other sellers of containers, and resells these containers to container retailers and users of containers for storage or one-way shipment. Included in the equipment trading segment revenues are leasing revenues from equipment purchased for resale that is currently on lease until the containers are dropped off.

These operating segments were determined based on the chief operating decision maker's review and resource allocation of the products and services offered.

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each common share of the Company issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than (A) common shares owned by the Company or any of its wholly owned subsidiaries, (B) common shares owned by BIPC, Parent, Merger Sub or any of their wholly owned subsidiaries and (C) any dissenting common shares), will be canceled and automatically converted into the right to receive $68.50 per common share in cash and $16.50 per common share in Class A exchangeable subordinate voting shares of BIPC (“BIPC Shares”), based on the volume weighted average price of BIPC Shares for the 10 trading days ending April 11, 2023 (the “Merger Consideration”). The stock portion of the Merger Consideration will be subject to a collar mechanism based on the volume weighted average price of BIPC Shares on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) over the 10 trading days ending on the second trading day prior to the Effective Time (the “BIPC Final Stock Price”). If the BIPC Final Stock Price is greater than or equal to $42.36 but less than or equal to $49.23, our shareholders will receive a number of BIPC Shares between 0.3352 and 0.3895 per common share equal to $16.50 in value. Our shareholders will receive 0.3895 BIPC Shares per common share if the BIPC Final Stock Price is below $42.36, and 0.3352 BIPC Shares per common share if the BIPC Final Stock Price is above $49.23. Our shareholders will have the option to elect to receive their consideration in cash, BIPC Shares or the mixture described above, subject to pro rata cut backs to the extent cash or BIPC Shares are oversubscribed.

The Merger, which is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2023, is subject to the receipt of required regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions, including approval by the Company’s shareholders. If the transaction is consummated, our common shares will be delisted from the NYSE and deregistered under the Exchange Act. Immediately following the closing of the Merger, our Series A-E cumulative redeemable perpetual preference shares will remain outstanding as an obligation of the Company and are expected to remain listed on the NYSE.

In connection with the Merger, the Company suspended its share repurchase program after the close of business on April 6, 2023.

In connection with the Merger, on April 28, 2023, the Company, as guarantor, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Triton Container International Limited and TAL International Container Corporation, as borrowers (the "Borrowers"), entered into

Our Company

Triton is the world's largest lessor of intermodal containers. Intermodal containers are large, standardized steel boxes used to transport freight by ship, rail or truck. Because of the handling efficiencies they provide, intermodal containers are the primary means by which many goods and materials are shipped internationally. We also lease chassis, which are used for the transportation of containers.

We operate our business in one industry, intermodal transportation equipment, and have two business segments, which also represent our reporting segments:

•Equipment leasing - we own, lease and ultimately dispose of containers and chassis from our lease fleet.

•Equipment trading - we purchase containers from shipping line customers, and other sellers of containers, and resell these containers to container retailers and users of containers for storage or one-way shipment.

Recent Developments

Brookfield Infrastructure Transaction

On April 11, 2023, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Brookfield Infrastructure Corporation, a corporation organized under the laws of British Columbia (“BIPC”), Thanos Holdings Limited, an exempted company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of Bermuda (“Parent”) and Thanos MergerSub Limited, an exempted company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of Bermuda and a subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”). Under the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into Triton (the “Merger”), with Triton surviving the Merger as a direct subsidiary of Parent and an indirect subsidiary of BIPC.

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each common share of the Company issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than (A) common shares owned by the Company or any of its wholly owned subsidiaries, (B) common shares owned by BIPC, Parent, Merger Sub or any of their wholly owned subsidiaries and (C) any dissenting common shares), will be canceled and automatically converted into the right to receive $68.50 per common share in cash and $16.50 per common share in BIPC Shares, based on the volume weighted average price of BIPC Shares for the 10 trading days ending April 11, 2023 (the “Merger Consideration”). The stock portion of the Merger Consideration will be subject to a collar mechanism based on the volume weighted average price of BIPC Shares on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) over the 10 trading days ending on the second trading day prior to the Effective Time (the “BIPC Final Stock Price”).

Operations

Our consolidated operations include the acquisition, leasing, re-leasing and subsequent sale of multiple types of intermodal containers and chassis. As of March 31, 2023, our total fleet consisted of 4.1 million containers and chassis, representing 7.1 million twenty-foot equivalent units ("TEU") or 7.8 million cost equivalent units ("CEU"). We have an extensive global presence, offering leasing services through a worldwide network of local offices and utilize third-party container depots spread across 46 countries to provide customers global access to our container fleet. Our primary customers include the world's largest container shipping lines. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, our twenty largest customers accounted for 84% of our lease billings, our five largest customers accounted for 63% of our lease billings, and our three largest customers accounted for 20%, 17%, and 13%, respectively of our lease billings.

The most important driver of profitability in our business is the extent to which leasing revenues, which are driven by our owned equipment fleet size, utilization and average lease rates, exceed our ownership and operating costs. Our profitability is also driven by the gains or losses we realize on the sale of used containers and the margins generated from trading new and used containers.

We lease five types of equipment: (1) dry containers, which are used for general cargo such as manufactured component parts, consumer staples, electronics and apparel, (2) refrigerated containers, which are used for perishable items such as fresh and frozen foods, (3) special containers, which are used for heavy and over-sized cargo such as marble slabs, building products and machinery, (4) tank containers, which are used to transport bulk liquid products such as chemicals, and (5) chassis, which are used for the transportation of containers on the road. Our in-house equipment sales group manages the sale process for our used containers and chassis from our equipment leasing fleet and sells used and new containers and chassis acquired from third parties.

The following tables summarize our equipment fleet as of March 31, 2023, December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022 indicated in units, TEU and CEU. CEU and TEU are standard industry measures of fleet size and are used to measure the quantity of containers that make up our revenue earning assets:

Total	7,794,240	7,885,851	8,002,622

(1)In the equipment fleet tables above, we have included total fleet count information based on CEU. CEU is a ratio used to convert the actual number of containers in our fleet to a figure based on an estimate for the historical average relative purchase prices of our various equipment types to that of a 20-foot dry container. For example, the CEU ratio for a 40-foot high cube dry container is 1.70, and a 40-foot high cube refrigerated container is 7.50. These factors may differ slightly from CEU ratios used by others in the industry.

The following table summarizes the percentage of our equipment fleet in terms of units and CEU as of March 31, 2023:


Equipment Type	Percentage of total fleet in units		Percentage of total fleet in CEU
Dry	90.1	%	71.4	%
Refrigerated	5.5		21.4
Special	2.3		3.1
Tank	0.3		1.3
Chassis	0.7		1.9
Equipment leasing fleet	98.9	%	99.1	%
Equipment trading fleet	1.1		0.9
Total	100.0	%	100.0	%

We generally lease our equipment on a per diem basis to our customers under three types of leases:

•Long-term leases, which we categorize as operating leases, typically have initial contractual terms ranging from five to eight or more years and provide us with stable cash flow and low transaction costs by requiring customers to maintain specific units on-hire for the duration of the lease term. Some of our containers, primarily used containers, are placed on lifecycle leases which keep the containers on-hire until the end of their useful life.

•Finance leases are typically structured as full payout leases and provide for a predictable recurring revenue stream with generally the lowest cost to the customer as customers are generally required to retain the equipment for the duration of its useful life.

•Service leases, which we categorize as operating leases, command a premium per diem rate in exchange for providing customers with greater operational flexibility by allowing non-scheduled pick-up and drop-off of units during the lease term.

We categorize our operating leases as either long-term leases or service leases. Some leases have contractual terms that have features reflective of both long-term and service leases. We classify such leases as either long-term or service leases, depending upon which features we believe are predominant. For example, some leases that provide redelivery flexibility during the lease term are classified as long-term leases in cases where lessees have made large upfront payments to reduce their lease payment during the lease term or in cases where lessees will incur significant redelivery fees if containers are returned during the lease term. Such leases are generally considered to be long-term leases based on the expected on-hire time and the economic protection achieved by the lease economics.

We also have expired long-term leases whose fixed terms have ended but for which the related units remain on-hire and for which we continue to receive rental payments pursuant to the terms of the initial contract.

The following tables summarize our lease portfolio by lease type, based on CEU on-hire as of March 31, 2023, December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022:


Lease Portfolio by CEU	March 31, 2023		December 31, 2022		March 31, 2022

Operating Performance

We maintained a high level of operating and financial performance in the first quarter of 2023, though market conditions continued to be slow.

Fleet size. As of March 31, 2023, the net book value of our revenue earning assets was $11.1 billion, a decrease of 1.9% compared to December 31, 2022 and a decrease of 5.4% compared to March 31, 2022. The decrease in our fleet size was primarily due to limited procurement in 2022, which has continued into the first quarter of 2023. Market conditions weakened in the second half of 2022 and lease demand remained low during the first quarter of 2023. Through April 25, 2023, we have invested $98.2 million in containers for delivery in 2023.

Utilization. Our average utilization was 97.6% for the first quarter of 2023, a decrease of 0.8% compared to the fourth quarter of 2022. The decrease in our utilization is due to increased drop-off volumes and limited pick up activity as the result of weak lease demand. Our ending utilization was 97.2% as of March 31, 2023 and currently stands at 97.1%.

The following tables summarize our equipment fleet utilization for the periods indicated below. Utilization is computed by dividing our total units on lease (in CEU) by the total units in our fleet (in CEU), excluding new units not yet leased and off-hire units designated for sale:


	Quarter Ended
	March 31, 2023		December 31, 2022		September 30, 2022		June 30, 2022		March 31, 2022
Average Utilization	97.6	%	98.4	%	99.1	%	99.4	%	99.6	%
Ending Utilization	97.2	%	98.1	%	98.8	%	99.3	%	99.5	%

Average lease rates. Average lease rates for our dry container product line decreased by 0.5% from the fourth quarter of 2022 primarily due to the impact of lease extension transactions concluded with rates below our portfolio average. New container prices decreased during 2022 from the record levels reached in 2021, and new container prices and market lease rates for new containers were slightly above the average lease rates in our portfolio in the first quarter of 2023.

Average lease rates for our refrigerated container product line continued to decrease in the first quarter of 2023. We have been experiencing larger differences in lease rates for older refrigerated containers compared to rates on new equipment, and we expect our average lease rates for refrigerated containers will continue to gradually trend down.

The average lease rates for special containers decreased by 0.9% in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the fourth quarter of 2022.

Interest and Debt Expense. Our interest expense decreased in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the fourth quarter of 2022 reflecting a decrease in our average debt balance, partially offset by an increase in our effective interest rate. Our average debt balance decreased 2.79% in the first quarter as a result of our limited investment in new containers in 2022 and the first quarter of 2023. Our effective rate increased 6 basis points to 2.93% in the first quarter due to the increase in interest rates on our floating-rate debt.

Equipment disposals. Equipment disposal gains decreased in the first quarter due to a decrease in selling prices partially offset by an increase in disposal volumes. The decrease in used container sale prices reflected a decrease in new container prices, decreased demand for one-way cargo and an increased supply of used containers available for sale. Our disposal volumes increased in the first quarter of 2023 due to increased redeliveries and an increase in our inventory of containers available for sale.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal sources of liquidity are cash flows provided by operating activities, proceeds from the sale of our leasing equipment, borrowings under our credit facilities and proceeds from other financing activities. Our principal uses of cash include capital expenditures, debt service, dividends, and share repurchases.

For the trailing twelve months ended March 31, 2023, cash provided by operating activities, together with the proceeds from the sale of our leasing equipment, was $2,116.1 million. In addition, as of March 31, 2023, we had $92.8 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and $1,930.0 million of borrowing capacity remaining under our existing credit facilities.

As of March 31, 2023, our cash commitments in the next twelve months include $1,006.8 million of scheduled principal payments on our existing debt facilities and $60.4 million of committed but unpaid capital expenditures, primarily for the purchase of equipment.

We believe that cash provided by operating activities, existing cash, proceeds from the sale of our leasing equipment, and availability under our credit facilities will be sufficient to meet our obligations over the next twelve months and beyond.

Capital Activity

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company paid dividends on preferred shares of $13.0 million and paid dividends on common shares of $38.9 million.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company repurchased a total of 1,744,616 common shares at an average price per share of $67.02 for a total cost of $116.9 million under its share repurchase program.

For additional information on the share repurchase program and dividends, please refer to Note 5 - “Other Equity Matters” in the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

Debt Activity

We may, from time to time, seek to retire or purchase our outstanding debt through cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity or debt, in open-market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, tender offers or otherwise. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, may be funded from operating cash flows or other sources, will be on such terms and at prices as we may determine, and will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material.

Credit Ratings

Our investment-grade corporate and long-term debt credit ratings enable us to lower our cost of funds and broaden our access to attractively priced capital. While a ratings downgrade, on its own, would not result in a default under any of our debt agreements, it could adversely affect our ability to issue debt and obtain new financings, or renew existing financings, and it would increase the cost of our financings. Additionally, under the terms of our senior notes, certain ratings downgrades following public announcement of a change of control, as more fully described in the relevant agreements governing those instruments, could give holders of those notes certain redemption rights. The Company's long-term debt and corporate ratings of BBB- from both S&P Global Ratings and Fitch Ratings remained unchanged in the first quarter of 2023. Following the announcement of the Merger, S&P Global Ratings placed our credit rating on CreditWatch with positive implications.

Debt Agreements

As of March 31, 2023, our outstanding indebtedness was comprised of the following (amounts in millions):


	March 31, 2023
	Outstanding Borrowings		Maximum Borrowing Level

Secured Debt Financings
Asset-backed securitization term instruments	$	2,813.0	$	2,813.0
Asset-backed securitization warehouse	235.0		1,125.0

Total secured debt financings	3,048.0		3,938.0
Unsecured Debt Financings
Senior notes	2,900.0		2,900.0
Term loan facilities	1,056.0		1,056.0
Revolving credit facilities	960.0		2,000.0
Total unsecured debt financings	4,916.0		5,956.0
Total debt financings	7,964.0		9,894.0
Unamortized debt costs	(52.1)		—
Unamortized debt premiums & discounts	(4.5)		—

Debt, net of unamortized costs	$	7,907.4	$	9,894.0

The maximum borrowing levels depicted in the table above may not reflect the actual availability under all of the credit facilities. Certain of these facilities are governed by either borrowing bases or an unencumbered asset test that limits borrowing capacity. Based on those limitations, the availability under these credit facilities at March 31, 2023 was approximately $1,334.1 million.

As of March 31, 2023, we had a combined $7,040.7 million of total debt on facilities with fixed interest rates or floating interest rates that have been synthetically fixed through interest rate swap contracts. This accounts for 88% of our total debt. The following table summarizes the weighted average interest rates and remaining terms on this portion of our debt:


	Balance Outstanding (in millions)		Contractual Weighted Avg Interest Rate	Weighted Avg Remaining Term






Fixed-rate debt	$	5,713.0	2.08%		4.3 years
Hedged floating-rate debt	1,327.7		3.71%		3.7 years
Total fixed and hedged debt	$	7,040.7	2.38%		4.2 years

Pursuant to the terms of certain debt agreements, we are required to maintain certain amounts in restricted cash accounts. As of March 31, 2023, we had restricted cash of $103.0 million.

For additional information on our debt, please refer to Note 7 - "Debt" in the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

Debt Covenants

We are subject to certain financial covenants related to leverage and interest coverage as defined in our debt agreements. Failure to comply with these covenants could result in a default under the related credit agreements and the acceleration of our outstanding debt if we were unable to obtain a waiver from the creditors. As of March 31, 2023, we were in compliance with all such covenants.

Cash Flow

The following table sets forth certain cash flow information for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2023		2022		Variance
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities	$	302,817	$	398,670	$	(95,853)
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities	$	52,263	$	(453,888)	$	506,151
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities	$	(345,532)	$	18,080	$	(363,612)

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $95.9 million to $302.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $398.7 million in the same period in 2022. The decrease is primarily due to lower profitability in the first quarter of 2023 of $49.0 million and the impact of large prepayments on certain leases in the prior year that did not occur in the current period.

Investing Activities

Net cash provided by investing activities was $52.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to net cash used in investing activities of $453.9 million in the same period in 2022. The change was primarily due to a $475.7 million decrease in equipment purchases. In addition, disposal proceeds increased by $30.3 million in the first quarter of 2023.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $345.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $18.1 million in the same period in 2022. The change was primarily due to a $337.4 million change in debt activity from net borrowings to net debt repayments due to the decrease in equipment purchases and related financing requirements. In addition we paid $116.7 million for share repurchases in the first quarter of 2023, which represents a $34.9 million increase from the first quarter of 2022.

Comparison of the Three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022

Leasing revenues. Per diem revenue represents revenue earned under operating lease contracts. Fee and ancillary lease revenue represents fees billed for the pick-up and drop-off of containers in certain geographic locations and billings of certain reimbursable operating costs such as repair and handling expenses. Finance lease revenue represents interest income earned under finance lease contracts. The following table summarizes our leasing revenues for the periods indicated below (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2023		2022		Variance
Leasing revenues:
Operating leases
Per diem revenues	$	352,180	$	377,514	$	(25,334)
Fee and ancillary revenues	18,168		11,431		6,737
Total operating lease revenues	370,348		388,945		(18,597)
Finance leases	27,375		28,143		(768)

Total leasing revenues	$	397,723	$	417,088	$	(19,365)

Total leasing revenues were $397.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $417.1 million in the same period in 2022, a decrease of $19.4 million.

Per diem revenues were $352.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $377.5 million in the same period in 2022, a decrease of $25.3 million, primarily due to a decrease of approximately 0.5 million CEU in the average number of containers on-hire.

Fee and ancillary lease revenues were $18.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $11.4 million in the same period in 2022, an increase of $6.8 million, primarily due to an increase in repair and handling revenue due to a higher volume of redeliveries.

Finance lease revenues were $27.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $28.1 million in the same period in 2022, a decrease of $0.7 million. This decrease is primarily due to an early buyout of containers under a finance lease in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Trading margin. Trading margin was $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $4.1 million in the same period in 2022, a decrease of $3.0 million. Container selling margins decreased in 2023 as a result of a decrease in selling prices.

Net gain (loss) on sale of leasing equipment. Gain on sale of equipment was $15.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $29.0 million in the same period in 2022, a decrease of $13.5 million. The decrease was primarily due to a 50% decrease in the average sales price of used dry containers, partially offset by a 160% increase in sales volume.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization was $148.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $160.7 million in the same period in 2022, a decrease of $12.3 million. The primary reasons for the decrease are as follows:

•$15.5 million decrease due to an increase in the number of containers that have become fully depreciated or reclassified to assets held for sale; partially offset by

•$4.0 million increase due to new production units placed on hire during 2022 that have a full quarter of depreciation in 2023.

Direct operating expenses. Direct operating expenses primarily consist of our costs to repair equipment returned off lease, store equipment when it is not on lease and reposition equipment from locations with weak leasing demand. Direct operating expenses were $23.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $6.2 million in the same period in 2022, an increase of $17.0 million. The primary reasons for the increase are as follows:

•$11.5 million increase in storage expense resulting from an increase in the number of idle units; and

•$5.0 million increase in repair and handling expense primarily due to a higher volume of drop-off activity

Administrative expenses. Administrative expenses were $22.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $21.3 million in the same period in 2022, an increase of $1.6 million, primarily due to an increase in compensation costs and benefits and travel related expenses.

Provision (reversal) for doubtful accounts. Reversal for doubtful accounts was $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to an immaterial reversal in the same period in 2022. In the first quarter of 2023, we reversed $1.8 million of a reserve established in 2022 due to better than expected recoveries.

Interest and debt expense. Interest and debt expense was $58.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $54.5 million in the same period in 2022, an increase of $4.3 million. The primary reasons for the increase are as follows:

•$8.6 million increase due to an increase in the average effective interest rate to 2.93% from 2.50%; partially offset by

•$4.2 million decrease due to a decrease in the average debt balance of $674.1 million.

Income taxes. Income tax expense was $13.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $13.9 million in the same period in 2022, a decrease of $0.9 million. The Company's effective tax rate was 8.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to 6.7% in the same period in 2022. The decrease in income tax expense was primarily the result of a decrease in pre-tax income partially offset by an increase in the portion of income generated in higher tax jurisdictions in the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Contractual Obligations

We are party to various operating and finance leases and are obligated to make payments related to our borrowings. We are also obligated under various commercial commitments, including payment obligations to our equipment manufacturers.

The following table summarizes our contractual commitments and obligations as of March 31, 2023 and the effect such obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flows in future periods:


	Contractual Obligations by Period

(1)Amounts include actual interest for fixed debt, estimated interest for floating-rate debt and interest rate swaps.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP, which requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts and disclosures reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. For a discussion of our critical accounting estimates, see Part II, Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting estimates since our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk is the risk of loss to future earnings, values or cash flows that may result from changes in the price of a financial instrument. The fair value of a financial instrument, derivative or non-derivative, might change as a result of changes in interest rates, exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices and other market changes. We have operations internationally and we are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business. These risks include interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate risks.

Interest Rate Risk

We enter into derivative agreements to fix the interest rates on a portion of our floating-rate debt. We assess and manage the external and internal risk associated with these derivative instruments in accordance with our overall operating goals. External risk is defined as those risks outside of our direct control, including counterparty credit risk, liquidity risk, systemic risk and legal risk. Internal risk relates to those operational risks within the management oversight structure and include actions taken in contravention of our policies.

The primary external risk of our derivative agreements is counterparty credit exposure, which is defined as the ability of a counterparty to perform its financial obligations under the agreement. All of our derivative agreements are with highly-rated financial institutions. Credit exposures are measured based on counterparty credit risks and the market value of outstanding derivative instruments.

As of March 31, 2023, we had derivative agreements in place to fix interest rates on a portion of our borrowings under debt facilities with floating interest rates as summarized below:

Derivatives

Notional Amount (in millions)

Weighted Average
Fixed Leg (Pay) Interest Rate

Weighted Average
Remaining Term

Interest Rate Swap(1)

$1,327.8

2.22%

3.7 years

Our derivative agreements are designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes. Any unrealized gains or losses related to the changes in fair value are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income and reclassified to interest and debt expense as they are realized. As of March 31, 2023, we have certain interest rate cap agreements that are non-designated derivatives and changes in fair value are recognized as unrealized (gain) loss on derivative instruments, net, on the Statements of Operations.

Approximately 88% of our debt is either fixed or hedged using derivative instruments which helps mitigate the impact of changes in short-term interest rates. A 100 basis point increase in the interest rates on our unhedged debt (Term SOFR) would result in an increase of approximately $7.4 million in interest expense over the next 12 months.

Foreign currency exchange rate risk

Although we have significant foreign-based operations, the majority of our revenues and our operating expenses are denominated in U.S. dollars. However, we pay our non-U.S. employees in local currencies and certain operating expenses are denominated in foreign currencies. Net foreign currency exchange (gains) losses were immaterial for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our senior management has evaluated the effectiveness and design of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), as of March 31, 2023. Based upon their evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, our Chief Executive Officer and our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer concluded, as of March 31, 2023, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2023, which have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Effective January 1, 2023, the Company implemented a new enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system for general ledger, accounts receivable and accounts payable that replaced legacy systems in which our financial transactions were processed and recorded. We continue to review and enhance the design and documentation of our internal control over financial reporting. To date, the implementation, integration and transition have not materially affected our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

Our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Our senior management recognizes that any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain judgments and assumptions and cannot provide absolute assurance that its objectives will be met. Similarly, an evaluation of controls cannot provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

From time to time we are a party to various legal proceedings, including claims, suits and government proceedings and investigations arising in connection with the normal course of our business. While we cannot predict the outcome of these matters, in the opinion of our management, any liability arising from these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our business. Nevertheless, unexpected adverse future events, such as an unforeseen development in our existing proceedings, a significant increase in the number of new cases or changes in our current insurance arrangements could result in liabilities that have a material adverse impact on our business.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

Our business is subject to numerous risks. In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the factors discussed under the caption "Risk Factors” in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as supplemented and updated by the risk factors below. These factors could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, and could cause our actual results to differ materially from our historical results or the results contemplated by any forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Risks Related to the Merger

The announcement and pendency of the Merger may have an adverse effect on our business results. The Merger may also not be completed on the terms or timeline currently contemplated or at all, which could adversely affect our stock price, business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Merger Agreement contains a number of customary conditions to complete the Merger, including: (i) the approval of the Merger Agreement by our shareholders; (ii) receipt of certain required regulatory approvals and the expiration or termination of any waiting period (and any extension thereof) applicable to the consummation of the Merger under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976; (iii) the receipt of clearance from the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States; (iv) the absence of an injunction or law restraining, enjoining, rendering illegal or otherwise prohibiting consummation of the Merger; (v) the SEC having declared effective registration statements with respect to the BIPC Shares issuable to our shareholders, and the units such stock consideration is exchangeable into, and no stop order or similar restraining order by the SEC suspending the effectiveness of a registration statement being in effect; (vi) the authorization for listing on the NYSE and conditional approval for listing on the Toronto Stock Exchange for the BIPC Shares issuable to our shareholders; (vii) subject to customary materiality qualifiers, the accuracy of the representations and warranties contained in the Merger Agreement; (viii) the absence of any Company Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Merger Agreement); (ix) the absence of any Parent Burdensome Condition (as defined in the Merger Agreement); and (x) performance in all material respects by the other party of its covenants under the Merger Agreement.

While it is currently anticipated that the Merger will be consummated in the fourth quarter of 2023, there can be no assurance that the foregoing conditions will be satisfied on a timely basis or at all, or that an event, effect, development of change will not transpire that could delay or prevent these conditions from being satisfied. If the Merger is not consummated, the trading price of our common shares may decline to the extent that the market price of our common shares reflects the assumptions that the Merger will be consummated and the related benefits will be realized. We may also be subject to additional risks in connection with the announcement and pendency of the Merger and if the Merger is not completed, including:

•we may be required to pay Parent a termination fee of approximately $141.4 million in certain circumstances;

•the Merger Agreement places certain restrictions on the conduct of our business prior to completion of the Merger, and such restrictions, the waiver of which is subject to the consent of Parent, may prevent us from making capital expenditures or disposing of equipment beyond certain levels, incurring certain indebtedness, making certain acquisitions, entering into or amending certain contracts, retaining and hiring certain personnel, taking other specified actions or otherwise pursuing business opportunities during the pendency of the Merger that we would have made, taken or pursued if these restrictions were not in place;

•matters relating to the Merger will require substantial commitments of time and attention by our management and the incurring of significant costs, including financial advisory and other professional fees and expenses, which would otherwise have been devoted to day-to-day operations and other opportunities that may have been beneficial to us as an independent company; and

•our employees, customers, vendors and suppliers may experience uncertainties about the effects of the Merger. It is possible that some customers, vendors, suppliers and other parties with whom we have a business relationship may delay or defer certain business decisions or change their relationship with us as a result of the Merger. Similarly, current and future employees may experience uncertainty about their future roles with us following completion of the Merger, which may adversely affect our ability to attract and retain key employees.

In addition, we could be subject to litigation related to any failure to complete the Merger or related to any proceeding to specifically enforce our performance obligations under the Merger Agreement. If any of these risks materialize, they may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, financial results and share prices.

The Merger Agreement contains provisions that could discourage or make it difficult for a third party to acquire us prior to the completion of the Merger.

The Merger Agreement contains certain customary provisions that restrict our ability to solicit, or engage in discussions or negotiations regarding, alternative acquisition proposals from third parties prior to the completion of the Merger. Upon termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, including if we terminate the Merger Agreement to enter into an alternative acquisition agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal or Parent terminates the Merger Agreement as a result of our Board of Directors changing its recommendation, we will be required to pay to Parent a termination fee of $141,382,000 plus additional costs and expenses. These provisions might discourage an otherwise interested third party from considering or proposing an acquisition of us, even one that may be of greater value to our shareholders than the Merger. Furthermore, even if a third party elects to propose an acquisition, our financial liability to Parent may result in that third party offering a lower value to our shareholders than the third party might otherwise have offered.

Because the exchange ratios to be used if the BIPC Final Stock Price falls outside the Collar are fixed and the market price of BIPC Shares has fluctuated and will continue to fluctuate, our shareholders cannot be certain of the value of the stock consideration portion of the Merger Consideration that they may elect to receive in the Merger.

Upon completion of the Merger, each of our common shares that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than certain excluded common shares), will be canceled and automatically converted into the right to receive, at the election of the holder (but subject to pro rata cut backs to the extent cash or BIPC Shares are oversubscribed), $68.50 per common share in cash and $16.50 per common share in BIPC Shares. The stock portion of the consideration is subject to a collar, ensuring that our shareholders receive the number of BIPC Shares equal to $16.50 in value for every Triton common share if the BIPC Final Stock Price is between $42.36 and $49.23 (the “Collar”). If the BIPC Final Stock Price is below the Collar, Triton shareholders will receive 0.3895 BIPC Shares for each Triton common share. If the BIPC Final Stock Price is above the Collar, Triton shareholders will receive 0.3352 BIPC Shares for each Triton common share. Because these exchange ratios are fixed, the value of the stock portion of the total consideration will fluctuate based on the market price of the BIPC Shares at the time the Merger is completed. The market price of BIPC Shares has fluctuated since the date of the announcement of the Merger and will continue to fluctuate from the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q until the date the Merger is completed, which could occur a considerable amount of time after the date hereof. BIPC Share price changes may result from a variety of factors, including, among others, general market and economic conditions, changes in BIPC’s business, operations and prospects, risks inherent in its businesses, changes in market assessments of the likelihood that the Merger will be completed and/or the value that may be generated by the Merger, and changes with respect to expectations regarding the timing of the Merger and regulatory considerations. Many of these factors are beyond our control.

Lawsuits may be instituted against us challenging the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. An adverse ruling in any such lawsuit may delay or prevent the proposed acquisition from being completed.

Lawsuits arising out of or relating to the Merger Agreement, BIPC’s registration statement on Form F-4 (which will include a document that serves as a prospectus of BIPC and a proxy statement of the Company) and/or the proposed acquisition of us by BIPC may be filed in the future. One of the conditions to completion of the Merger is the absence of any injunction or other order being in effect that prohibits completion of the Merger. Accordingly, if a plaintiff is successful in obtaining an injunction, then such order may prevent the proposed acquisition from being completed, or from being completed within the expected timeframe.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.

Share Repurchase Program

In December 2022, our Board of Directors approved an increase in the share repurchase authorization to $400.0 million. The following table provides certain information with respect to our purchases of the Company's common shares for the three months ended March 31, 2023:
