Stonepeak Seals $7.4bn Deal for Textainer

Textainer Group Holdings Limited, a prominent player in the intermodal container leasing sector, has concluded its “go-shop” period, a phase where alternative acquisition offers could be considered, following a proposal from investment firm Stonepeak.

The deal, which values Textainer at approximately $7.4bn or $50 per share, did not attract any competing bids during this period.

The acquisition is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2024, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including approval from Textainer shareholders and regulatory clearances. Once finalized, Textainer will transition from a public entity to a private company and will no longer be listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE).
