Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On March 10, 2009 CAI International, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release captioned “CAI International, Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2008 Results”, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The press release included the following disclosure with respect to its estimated results of operations for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2008: “CAI International, Inc. (CAI) (NYSE: CAP) announced today that it reported adjusted net income for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2008 of $0.33 cents per share (on a fully diluted share count of 17.9 million) and adjusted net income of $1.34 per share for the year ended December 31, 2008 (on a fully discounted share count of 17.4 million). Adjusted net income excludes the $50.2 million goodwill impairment charge that the company reported in the fourth quarter of 2008. Including the goodwill impairment charge, the company reported a net loss per share for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2008 of $2.48 and a net loss per share of $1.55 for the full year of 2008.” The phrase “adjusted net income” represents a non-GAAP financial measure under Section 10(e) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company’s management uses this non-GAAP measurement for measuring its performance against other quarterly periods and believes that this measurement provides investors with the information necessary to evaluate the Company’s performance during the fourth quarter of 2008 as compared to prior quarterly periods. The goodwill charge was primarily a result of the material decline in the market value of the Company’s equity during the fourth quarter of 2008. The impaired goodwill was associated with the Company’s acquisition of its shares from Interpool, Inc. in October, 2006. The Company does not expect that the non-cash charge will have an impact on its financial condition or affect the performance covenants in its debt agreements.

This Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements regarding future events and the future performance of the Company. These statements are forward looking statements within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results of operations and other performance measures (including utilization rates) to differ materially from current expectations including, but not limited to, expected economic conditions, the impact of economic stimulus plan on shipping and container demand, availability of credit on commercially favorable terms or at all, customer demand, lessee defaults, container prices, lease rates, increased competition, volatility in exchange rates and others. The Company refers investors to the documents that it has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 and its interim reports on Form 10-Q and its reports on Form 8-K. These documents contain additional important factors that could cause actual results to differ from current expectations and from forward-looking statements contained in this Form 8-K. Furthermore, the Company is under no obligation to (and expressly disclaims any such obligation to) update or alter any of the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 8-K whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, unless required by law.

 

Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year

On March 5, 2009, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company adopted and approved, effective immediately, the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company (the “Amended and Restated Bylaws”). The Amended and Restated Bylaws is attached to this Current Report as Exhibit 3.1, and the descriptions in this Current Report on Form 8-K are qualified in their entirety by reference to that exhibit.

The Amended and Restated Bylaws revise, among other things, the advance notice provisions for stockholder proposals and nominations and were made to ensure such provisions are clear and unambiguous. Specifically, the Amended and Restated Bylaws include, without limitation, the following revisions:

 

   

clarify the manner pursuant to which a notice of a stockholder meeting is deemed to be given, including, including describing the timing of delivery for deliveries by mail, facsimile, electronic mail, posting on an electronic network and any other form of electronic transmission;

 

   

clarify the requirements set forth in Section 2.4(a)(1) of the Amended and Restated Bylaws that apply to all stockholder proposals and director nominations to make clear that the provisions of Section


 

2.4(a)(1) are the only means for the nominations of directors and the proposal of business to be considered by stockholders at annual meetings, including, in particular, nominations and proposals submitted by stockholders, other than proposals and nominations governed by Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) (which provides certain procedural requirements);

 

   

allow a committee of the Company to submit its own proposals for consideration at a meeting of the stockholders;

 

   

require stockholders nominating directors to disclose, in addition to other information required to be disclosed under the Bylaws and pursuant to applicable law, the same information about a proposed director nominee that would be required pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act in a solicitation of proxies in a contested election together with disclosure of specified compensatory and other material relationships between the stockholder proponents and their affiliates, on the one hand, and the director nominees and their affiliates, on the other hand;

 

   

require stockholders proposing any other business to provide specific information regarding the proposed matter together with disclosure regarding certain relationships between the stockholder proponents and their respective affiliates and any person acting in concert with them;

 

   

require stockholders nominating directors or proposing business to be considered by stockholders to disclose all ownership interests in the Company, including, among other things, all ownership interests, hedges, economic incentives and rights to vote any shares of any security of the Company, in light of increased use by investors of derivative instruments that are not reflected in an investor’s beneficial ownership of the Company’s securities;

 

   

require a director questionnaire be completed and other information to be provided by each nominee for election or reelection to the Board, which questionnaire may include representations and agreements by the nominee with regards to any voting commitments, compensatory arrangements with a third party and compliance requirements applicable to directors of the Company;

 

   

clarify the requirements for stockholder nominations of directors and submissions of proposals to stockholders at special meetings of stockholders and harmonize such requirements with the requirements applicable to stockholder nominations of directors and submissions of proposals to stockholders at annual meetings of stockholders;

 

   

require a stockholder (or a duly qualified representative of such stockholder) nominating a director or submitting a proposal for consideration by stockholders to be present at the annual or special meeting for which such director is nominated or such proposal is submitted and provide that if such stockholder (or duly qualified representative) fails to appear at the meeting, such nomination shall be disregarded and such proposed business shall not be considered; and

 

   

clarify that the references in the Bylaws to the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission shall not limit the requirements set forth in the Bylaws.

In addition to the provisions described above, adoption of the Amended and Restated Bylaws effected various changes to clarify language and make other technical corrections and non-substantive modifications.

(a) Annual Meetings . The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation shall be held on such date and at such time as may be fixed by resolution of the Board of Directors. At the annual meeting stockholders shall elect directors and transact such other business as properly may be brought before the meeting.

(b) Special Meetings . Special meetings of the stockholders may be called only by the Chairman of the Board or the Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution approved by a majority of the total number of directors which the Corporation would have if there were no vacancies (the “Whole Board”).

(c) Place of Meetings . Meetings of the stockholders shall be held at such place, either within or without the State of Delaware, as the Board of Directors shall determine. The Board of Directors may, at its sole discretion, determine that the meeting shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication as provided under the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”).

(d) Notice of Meeting . Written notice, stating the place, day and hour of the meeting shall be delivered by the Corporation not less than ten (10) days and not more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting. Notice of a special meeting shall also state the purpose or purposes for which the meeting has been called. Without limiting the manner by which notice may otherwise be given, notice may be given by a form of electronic transmission that satisfies the requirements of the DGCL and has been consented to by the stockholder to whom notice is given. Notices are deemed given: (1) if by mail, when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at such stockholder’s address as it appears on the records of the Corporation, or, if a stockholder shall have filed with the Secretary of the Corporation a written request that notices to such stockholder be mailed to some other address, then directed to such stockholder at such other address; (2) if by facsimile, when directed to a number at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice; (3) if by electronic mail, when directed to an electronic mail address at which the stockholder has consented to receive such notice; (4) if by posting on an electronic network together with a separate notice to the stockholder of such specific posting, upon the later to occur of (A) such posting and (B) the giving of such separate notice of such posting; and (5) if by any other form of electronic transmission, when directed to


the stockholder as required by law and, to the extent required by applicable law, in the manner consented to by the stockholder. Notice shall be deemed to have been given to all stockholders of record who share an address if notice is given in accordance with the “householding” rules set forth in Rule 14a-3(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and Section 233 of the DGCL. Meetings may be held without notice if all stockholders entitled to vote are present, or if notice is waived by those not present in accordance with Article VIII of these Bylaws. Any previously scheduled meeting of the stockholders may be postponed, and any special meeting of the stockholders may be cancelled, by resolution of the Board of Directors upon public notice given prior to the date previously scheduled for such meeting of stockholders. Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto).

The chairman of the meeting or a majority of the shares so represented may adjourn the meeting from time to time, whether or not there is such a quorum. No notice of the time and place of adjourned meetings need be given, except that notice of the adjourned meeting shall be required if the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting. The stockholders present at a duly called meeting at which a quorum is present may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum.

(b) Required Vote . The affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the matter shall be the act of the stockholders, except as otherwise provided by express provision of law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws requiring a larger or different vote, in which case such express provision shall govern and control the decision of such matter.

The form of Director Questionnaire shall be provided by the Secretary of the Corporation upon written request. The Corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as may reasonably be required by the Corporation to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as an independent director of the Corporation or that could be material to a reasonable stockholder’s understanding of the independence, or lack thereof, of such nominee.

In no event shall the public announcement of an adjournment or postponement of a special meeting commence a new time period (or extend any period) for the delivery of a stockholder’s notice as described above.

SECTION 10.1 Right to Indemnification . Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit, claim or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans maintained or sponsored by the Corporation, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators; provided , however , that except as provided in Section 10.4 of this Article X, the Corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors.

SECTION 10.2 Advancement of Expenses . The right to indemnification conferred in this Article X shall be a contract right and shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition, such

 

-14-


advances to be paid by the Corporation within twenty (20) days after receipt by the Corporation of a written statement or statements from the claimant requesting such advance or advances; provided , however , that if the DGCL requires, the payment of such expenses incurred by a director or officer in his or her capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such person while a director or officer, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding, shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article X or otherwise.

SECTION 10.3 Obtaining Indemnification . To obtain indemnification under this Article X, a claimant shall submit to the Corporation a written request, including therein or therewith such documentation and information as is reasonably available to the claimant and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent the claimant is entitled to indemnification. Upon written request by a claimant for indemnification pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 10.3, a determination, if required by applicable law, with respect to the claimant’s entitlement thereto shall be made as follows: (1) if requested by the claimant, by Independent Counsel (as hereinafter defined), or (2) if no request is made by the claimant for a determination by Independent Counsel, (i) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of Disinterested Directors (as hereinafter defined), or (ii) if a quorum of the Board of Directors consisting of Disinterested Directors is not obtainable or, even if obtainable, such quorum of Disinterested Directors so directs, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Board of Directors, a copy of which shall be delivered to the claimant, or (iii) if a quorum of Disinterested Directors so directs, by the stockholders of the Corporation. In the event the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel at the request of the claimant, the Independent Counsel shall be selected by the Board of Directors unless there shall have occurred within two years prior to the date of the commencement of the action, suit or proceeding for which indemnification is claimed a Change in Control (as defined below), in which case the Independent Counsel shall be selected by the claimant unless the claimant shall request that such selection be made by the Board of Directors. If it is so determined that the claimant is entitled to indemnification, payment to the claimant shall be made within thirty (30) days after such determination. If a claimant is successful, in whole or in part, in any suit brought against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of any written claim to indemnification, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim.

SECTION 10.4 Right of Claimant to Bring Suit . If a claim under Section 10.1 of this Article X is not paid in full by the Corporation within thirty (30) days after a written claim pursuant to Section 10.3 of this Article X has been received by the Corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any is required, has been tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standard of conduct which makes it permissible under the DGCL for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the

 

-15-


burden of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, Independent Counsel or stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, Independent Counsel or stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

SECTION 10.5 Corporation’s Obligation to Indemnify . If a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 10.3 of this Article X that the claimant is entitled to indemnification, the Corporation shall be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to Section 10.4 of this Article X.

SECTION 10.6 Preclusion from Challenging Article X . The Corporation shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to Section 10.4 of this Article X that the procedures and presumptions of this Article X are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in such proceeding that the Corporation is bound by all the provisions of this Article X.

For purposes of this Article X:

(a) “Change in Control” shall be deemed to occur only if a majority of the members of the Board of Directors shall not be (i) individuals elected as directors of the Corporation for whose election proxies shall have been solicited by the Board of Directors of the Corporation or (ii) individuals elected or appointed by the Board of Directors of the Corporation to fill vacancies on the Board of Directors caused by death or resignation (but not by removal) or to fill newly created directorships.

(b) “Disinterested Director” means a director of the Corporation who is not and was not a party to the matter in respect of which indemnification is sought by the claimant.

(c) “Independent Counsel” means a law firm, a member of a law firm, or an independent practitioner, that is experienced in matters of corporation law and shall include any person who, under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing, would not have a conflict of interest in representing either the Corporation or the claimant in an action to determine the claimant’s rights under this Article X.

SECTION 10.7 Non-exclusivity of Rights . The right to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition conferred in this Article X shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or otherwise. No repeal or modification of this Article X shall in any way diminish or adversely affect the rights of any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation hereunder in respect of any occurrence or matter arising prior to any such repeal or modification.

SECTION 10.8 Insurance . The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the DGCL.

SECTION 10.10 Validity of Article X . If any provision or provisions of this Article X shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Article X (including, without limitation, each portion of any paragraph of this Article X containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby; and (b) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Article X (including, without limitation, each such portion of any paragraph of this Article X containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable.

Exhibit 99.1

CAI International, Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2008 Results

SAN FRANCISCO, CA, March 10, 2009 —CAI International, Inc. (CAI) (NYSE: CAP) announced today that it reported adjusted net income for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2008 of $0.33 cents per share (on a fully diluted share count of 17.9 million) and adjusted net income of $1.34 per share for the year ended December 31, 2008 (on a fully discounted share count of 17.4 million). Adjusted net income excludes the $50.2 million goodwill impairment charge that the company reported for the fourth quarter of 2008. Including the goodwill impairment charge, the company reported a net loss per share for the fourth quarter of 2008 of $2.48 and a net loss per share of $1.55 for the full year of 2008.

During the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company’s revenue was $22.7 million, an increase of $3.9 million, or 20.4%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2007. Container rental revenue increased $3.0 million, or 25.4%, to $14.8 million from $11.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2007. Management fee revenue was $3.0 million, an increase of $0.2 million, or 7.1%, from $2.8 million of management fee revenue reported in the fourth quarter of 2007. Gain on sale of container portfolios increased $0.2 million, or 5.1%, to $4.1 million, compared to $3.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2007. Finance lease income in the fourth quarter of 2008 increased $0.5 million, or 166.7%, to $0.8 million, compared to finance lease income of $0.3 million reported in the fourth quarter of 2007.

As was announced on February 9, 2009, the Company recorded a fourth quarter non-cash charge of $50.2 million for impairment of goodwill in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” The goodwill charge was primarily a result of the material decline in the market value of the Company’s shareholders’ equity during the fourth quarter of 2008. The impaired goodwill was associated with the Company’s acquisition of its shares from Interpool, Inc. in October, 2006. The Company does not expect that the non-cash charge will have an impact on its financial condition or affect the performance covenants in its debt agreements.

Masaaki (John) Nishibori, Chief Executive Officer of CAI, commented, “As we indicated last month, we had a very good fourth quarter and full year, with historically high revenues and net income before the effect of the impairment charge. We are very pleased with our accomplishments of increasing revenue and earnings. Specifically in 2008 our adjusted net income was $23.3 million, an increase of 21.4% compared to our net income of $19.2 million in 2007. Our container rental revenue continued to exhibit very strong quarter over quarter growth and we did not experience a general decrease in revenue from our owned container fleet revenue during the fourth quarter of 2008.”

He continued, “We strengthened our financial position during the fourth quarter of 2008. During the fourth quarter we sold $35 million of containers to container investors and recognized gains on the transactions. We used the proceeds to increase our cash balance by $12 million and reduce outstanding debt under our senior secured credit facility by $23 million. We also set out at the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2008 to aggressively dispose of older, idle equipment at what we believed were exceptionally strong container prices considering the economic environment.”


“Our adjusted EBITDA for 2008 was $68.4 million, an increase of $13.9 million from the adjusted EBITDA of $54.5 million reported in 2007. For 2009, we estimate our debt service requirements to be approximately $12 million, which consist of interest payments on our senior secured credit facility and principal and interest payments on our capital leases. Although we expect the utilization of our fleet to decline in 2009 as compared to 2008, and expenses, such as storage and handling to increase in 2009, we expect to generate significant excess cash flow. We will use the excess cash flow to purchase equipment or repay debt.”

He continued further, “We remain optimistic that the demand for containers during the second half of 2009 will be better than during the first half of the year. Although demand for containers is currently weak, we have noted some early positive signs that lead us to believe that demand will increase later in the year. These positive signs include rate increases announced by several major shipping lines on the main Asia to Europe routes and increased containerized trade demand in Asia that we believe is a result of the announced stimulus package by the Chinese government. In addition, Clarkson Research Services in its February, 2009 issue of Container Intelligence Monthly forecast containerized trade growth in 2009 of 3.1%. We believe that this forecasted trade growth, in conjunction with limited incremental container manufacturing and historical annual attrition in the existing population of containers of 5% to 6% support our view that demand for existing containers should improve in the second half of 2009. Our primary objective this year will be to proactively manage through the current difficult economic environment, while preparing to be able to take advantage of the improvements in the global economy and the demand for containers.”

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Items

Adjusted net income is defined as net income before impairment of goodwill.

EBITDA is defined as net income before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EDITDA is EBITDA plus principal payments from finance leases. We believe EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are helpful in understanding our past financial performance as a supplement to net income and other performance measures calculated in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Our management believes that EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance because it provides a measure of operating results unaffected by differences in capital structures, capital investment cycles and ages of related assets among otherwise comparable companies in our industry. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA have limitations as an analytical tool and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for any measure reported under GAAP. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA’s usefulness as performance measures as compared to net income is limited by the fact that EBITDA excludes the impact of interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense and taxes, and additionally excludes principal payments from finance leases in the case of adjusted EBITDA. We borrow money in order to finance our operations; therefore, interest expense is a necessary element of our costs and ability to generate revenue. Similarly, our use of capital assets makes depreciation and amortization expense a necessary element of our costs and ability to generate income. In addition, since we are subject to state and federal income taxes, any measure that excludes tax expense has material limitations. Moreover, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are not calculated identically by all companies; therefore our presentation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Due to these limitations, we use EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA as a measure of performance only in conjunction with GAAP measures of performance, such as net income. The following table provides a reconciliation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to net income, the most comparable performance measure under GAAP (in thousands):
