REPORT BY THE CHAIRMAN AT THE AGM
The chairman reported that the board has been and is committed to actively pursuing the commercial objectives of:
- reducing costs and time delays associated with US GAAP to IFRS conversion; and
- a listed access point for South African investors by way of an inward listing of Textainer Group Holdings Limited and/or an intermediate entity.
For these objectives to be implemented, each relevant entity is required to consider its own position, its local regulatory and legal considerations, as well as the best interests of its stakeholders in the various jurisdictions concerned. As a result, the processes to achieve these commercial objectives are complex and time consuming, but the board is hopeful that all related matters may be resolved by the close of the current financial year.
