Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On September 30, 2022 (the “Effective Date”), GATX Corporation (the “Company”) entered into a long-term supply agreement (the “Agreement”) with Trinity Rail Group, LLC, a subsidiary of Trinity Industries, Inc. Under the Agreement, the Company will purchase a total of 15,000 newly built railcars over a sixty-four month period from October 2022 through December 2028. The Company will (i) take delivery of 100 tank cars per month from January 2024 through December 2028, for a total of 6,000 tank cars and (ii) order 1,500 railcars during each calendar year between 2023 and 2028 (except that orders for the 2023 year may also be placed in the final three months of 2022), which may be comprised of a combination of freight cars and up to 500 tank cars per year. Commencing in 2023, the Company shall have the option to order up to an additional 500 railcars per calendar year. Except to the extent the parties otherwise agree, railcar pricing will be on a cost-plus basis subject to certain specified adjustments and surcharges throughout the term of the Agreement.

Unless earlier terminated, the Agreement will expire on the later of December 31, 2028 or the date on which the last of the railcars ordered under the Agreement is delivered to the Company. The Agreement may be terminated after written notice (a) by either party in the event the other party (i) fails to cure its non-performance of a material obligation, (ii) fails to pay any amount due and payable (other than disputed payments up to an agreed upon amount), (iii) files a petition in bankruptcy, is unable to pay debts, provides notice of a pending insolvency or suspension of operations, or makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, (iv) is unable to perform its obligations for more than 240 days as a result of an occurrence of a force majeure event, or (v) upon the occurrence of certain conditions following the assignment of the Agreement or merger, consolidation or change in control of such other party; or (b) by the Company, upon the occurrence of material non-performance with respect to the delivery or quality of railcars.

The Agreement will be filed as an Exhibit to our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending September 30, 2022, and portions of the Agreement will be omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment. The foregoing summary of the Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to all of the terms of the Agreement.
