Mr. Lyons is currently Executive Vice President and President of the Company’s Rail North America business. Mr. Kenney is expected to continue to serve on GATX’s Board of Directors as non-executive Chairman until October 31, 2022. On January 28, 2022, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved changes to Mr. Lyons’ base salary, target bonus and target long-term incentive opportunity in connection with his promotion and set Mr. Kenney’s compensation as non-executive Chairman.

Effective April 22, 2022, Mr. Lyons’ base salary will increase to $800,000 from $597,100, and his target bonus will increase to 100% of base salary from 70%. In making its regular, annual grants of long-term incentive awards on January 28, 2022, the Compensation Committee used a target value of $3,000,000 for Mr. Lyons’ awards, an increase from the target value of $950,000 used in 2021.

For his service as non-executive Chairman following his retirement on April 22, 2022, Mr. Kenney will receive cash compensation at the annual rate of $150,000. That amount will be pro-rated for the approximately six-month period Mr. Kenney is expected to serve.

In addition, on January 28, 2022, the Compensation Committee approved a Leadership Recognition Award for Thomas A. Ellman, the Company’s Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. The award consists of a grant of 3,960 restricted stock units having a grant date value equal to $400,000 pursuant to the form of Restricted Stock Unit Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1. These restricted stock units will vest 25% on the one year anniversary of the date of grant and 75% on the third anniversary of the grant, subject to continued employment with the Company.
