SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE) -- CAI International, Inc. (CAI) (NYSE: CAP), one of the world’s leading lessors of intermodal freight containers, today announced that on September 9, 2011, CAL Funding I Limited, a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of CAI, entered into a credit facility for $100 million of asset-backed warehouse notes. There was no funding under the facility at closing but the commitment to fund under the notes is available until September 8, 2013.  The interest rate under the notes is LIBOR plus 2.50% during the initial two-year funding period.  If the notes are not refinanced or renewed during this two-year period, the facility is structured to amortize over a term that is scheduled to be ten years, but not to exceed 15 years.
 
Victor Garcia, President and Chief Executive Officer of CAI, commented, “This new $100 million warehouse facility significantly expands our access to capital and positions CAI to continue its investment plans into 2012.  This new credit facility complements our existing $330 million revolving credit facility.  Bank of America Merrill Lynch is the sole arranger under the facility and we would like to thank the bank for the continued support and confidence that it has shown in providing this commitment to CAI.”
