Demonstrating this commitment, the Board has adopted the Triton Corporate Governance Principles and Guidelines, Code of Ethics and Code of Ethics for Chief Executive and Senior Financial Officers, as well as charters for each of the Board’s committees. These documents constitute the foundation of our corporate governance structure and are available free of charge on our website (www.trtn.com) in the Investors section under “Corporate Governance.” The Board regularly reviews our policies and processes in the context of current corporate governance trends, regulatory changes and recognized best practices.

Highlights of our corporate governance practices include:

Annual Election of Directors
 
Annual Board and Committee Self-EvaluationsSelf-Assessments
Majority Voting for Directors
 
Regular Executive Sessions of Independent Directors
Lead Independent Lead Director
8 of 10 Directors are Independent

Board Independence
The Board is comprised of a substantial majority of independent directors. Currently, eight out of 10 of our directors are independent. Additionally, our Audit Committee, Compensation and Talent Management Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are composed entirely of independent directors. In accordance with the listing standards of the NYSE, to be considered independent, a director must have no material relationship with

annually reviews commercial and other relationships between directors or members of their immediate families and Triton in order to make a determination regarding the independence of each director. The Board has adopted a formal policy to assist it in determining whether a director is independent in accordance with the applicable rules of the NYSE. The Director Independence Standards are available on our website at www.trtn.com. In making its independence determinations, the Board considers relevant facts and circumstances. For 2020, the Board considered that a portfolio company of Rouge River Capital, a private equity firm where Mr. Germain serves as Managing Partner, purchased shipping containers from Triton in the normal course of business, and considered such transactions to be immaterial.

Based on the evaluation and criteria described above, our Board of Directors is currently composed of eight independent directors (Alspaugh, Austin, Baker, Coulter, Germain, Hanau, Rosner and Hextall),has determined that except for our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (Mr. Sondey)CEO, Mr. Sondey, and our former President, (Mr. Vernon)Mr. Vernon, all of our directors qualify as independent (directors Alspaugh, Baker, Bexiga, Coulter, Germain, Hanau, Hextall and Rosner). We believe
Board Leadership Structure
Our Board does not have a policy that the roles of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board be either combined or separated, because the Board believes this determination should be made based on the best interests of Triton and its shareholders at any point in time based on the facts and circumstances then facing our Company. The Board believes that having a combined Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, a lead independent director (Mr. Rosner), andLead Independent Director with meaningful responsibilities as described below, a Board of Directors comprised of 80% independent directors and committees composed entirely of independent directors currently provides a strong and effective leadership structure with robust independent oversight. In addition, we believe that having a single leader for the Company by combining the Chairman and CEO roles provides greater clarity on our executive leadership for customers in certain global markets.

The independent directors elect a Lead Independent Director annually. Mr. Rosner is currently serving as Lead Independent Director. The Board Diversity

Our directors have diverse backgroundsbelieves that having a Lead Independent Director provides the Board with independent leadership and expertise. We havefacilitates the independence of the Board members with corporate finance experience, accounting and reporting experience, various industry experience, as well as experience serving on boards of directors of publicly and privately held companies. In addition, the charter of ourfrom management.

The chart below summarizes certain key skills and experiences that our Board has identified as particularly valuable to this effective oversight and illustrates how the genderqualifications of our director nominees, taken as a whole, align with these attributes. This high-level summary is not intended to be an exhaustive list of each director nominee’s contributions to the Board. For more information, please see “Proposal 1: Election of Directors.”

Board Refreshment and ethnicDiversity
The Board, led by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, regularly evaluates its own composition and succession plans in light of the Company’s evolving business and strategic needs. The focus of this process is to ensure that the Board is comprised of directors who possess a wide variety of relevant skills, professional experience and backgrounds and bring diverse viewpoints and perspectives to the Board in order to effectively oversee the Company’s operations and strategy. This includes diversity of gender, race, ethnicity, age, geography, sexual orientation and gender identity.
In July 2020, the Board appointed Annabelle Bexiga to our Board upon recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Ms. Bexiga replaced Karen Austin, who stepped down from the Board at the 2020 Annual Meeting in order to dedicate more time to her other professional commitments and activities. In each of those searches, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee prioritized increasing gender diversity, among other relevant qualifications, on the Board. WeWhen conducting searches for new directors, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will continue to take steps to include, and will affirmatively instruct any search firm engaged by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee to include, a diverse slate of candidates in the pool from which director candidates are chosen.

Board Tenure and Term Limit Policy
The Board recognizes the importance of maintaining an appropriate balance of tenure on the Board which allows it to benefit from both the historical and institutional knowledge of longer-tenured directors as well as the additional, fresh perspectives contributed by newer directors. As a result, our Board has adopted a director term limit policy. Under this policy, directors (other than any management director) will be subject to a maximum term limit of 12 years, unless an exemption is granted by the Board. The current average tenure of our directors is approximately five years.
Corporate Social Responsibility

We believe that integrating Corporate Responsibilitycorporate social responsibility policies and strategies into our business contributes to our long-term financial performance. We recognize both the opportunity and the responsibility we have to leave a positive imprint on the environment and society, and we are committed to taking a leadership role in addressing environmental and social issues related to our industry.

industry and the communities in which we operate. In 2020, the Board approved updates to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee’s charter to memorialize the Committee’s role in oversight of the Company’s environmental, social and governance (ESG) initiatives.

Sustainability and Environment
As one of the largest buyers of shipping containers, we continue to support efforts to reduce the environmental impacts from container production. As part of this effort, we have worked closely with the container manufacturers to reduce the hardwood content in container floors. Our objective is to create a new industry standard floor that is more environmentally friendly while maintaining its long term durability. Specifically, we have shifted a significant portion of our container floors to farmed wood species such as larch, birch and bamboo, and we are working with container manufacturers to implement a floor design that would eliminate approximately 30% of the wood content (by replacing it with steel). We expect this new flooring design to begin commercial production in late 2021 or early 2022. We are also exploring other options, such as oriented strand board (OSB) flooring and recycled materials.

In addition, during 2016 and 2017,recent years, we also worked closely with the container manufacturers to facilitate a successful transition of container paint systems to water-based applications from solvent-based applications.

Human Capital Management, Talent Development and Succession Planning

Human capital governance;
Total rewards;

workforce located outside the U.S., we believe a diverse workforce directly supports the success of our business, and we are taking steps to further advance diversity, equity and inclusion in our Company. One of our goals is to increase diverse talent within our leadership. In that regard, we have applied a diverse slate approach to increase diversity within our executive management team and are committed to actively seeking out highly qualified diverse candidates for other leadership roles across our Company. We also partner with external organizations to develop a diverse talent pipeline and are developing policies and initiatives aimed at further promoting diversity, equity and inclusion.
In 2020, we took several steps to address the dramatic changes to our employees’ professional and personal lives brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. We conducted global surveys to understand their challenges and concerns and gather feedback regarding the Company’s response to the pandemic. We provided resources to support our employees’ transition to remote working, work-life balance and mental health. We held virtual Company-wide town hall meetings throughout the year to keep employees informed about the business and maintain high levels of engagement, and we held virtual team-building events. We did not furlough or conduct any employee layoffs due to the pandemic during 2020.
Human capital governance. Our Board believes that human capital management, including employee recruiting and retention, talent development and succession planning, are key to Triton’s continued success. The Board and the Compensation and Talent Management Committee engage with management on a broad range of human capital management topics, including organizational structure and culture, bench strength in key business and functional areas, succession planning and talent development, employee recruiting and retention, employee health and safety matters and diversity and inclusion. The Board recognizes the importance of diversity to a global business such as the Company’s and has made employee diversity and inclusion an enhanced focus area.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Total Rewards. We seek to provide our employees with compensation packages that fairly reward employees for their contributions to the Company and enable the Company to recruit and retain high quality individuals. In addition, we seek to structure our compensation plans so that they are straightforward for our employees to understand and value, and relatively easy for the Company to administer. We offer competitive salary and incentive programs that recognize individual contributions and performance as well as shared achievement of Company-wide goals.
Health and Wellness. We offer our employees a competitive set of overall benefits that focuses on total wellness, including health and welfare benefits, employee assistance programs and flexible work arrangements.

Triton has implemented numerous measures to protect the health and safety of our employees during the pandemic based on local conditions and regulations, including remote work arrangements, reduced office capacity and staggered shifts, restrictions on travel, upgraded cleaning practices, social distancing requirements and other safety related measures.
Learning and Development. We seek to provide our employees with the opportunity to develop both personally and professionally to realize their full potential, including:
Organization-wide learning management system offering a comprehensive library of professional development courses in multiple languages;
Opportunities for internal cross training; and
Tuition and professional development reimbursement benefits.
Succession planning
The Board regularly reviews and updates succession plans for the Chief Executive Officer and monitors management’s succession planning for other senior executives. In addition, the Board has developed detailed plans to address an event requiring an emergency CEO replacement on both an interim and permanent basis. These plans include process steps and allocated director and committee responsibilities. The response plans are refreshed regularly. In assessing potential candidates for the CEO or other senior executive positions, the Board identifies the key skills, experience and attributes it believes are required to be an effective senior leader in light of the Company’s business strategies, opportunities and challenges. The Board also ensures that directors have substantial opportunities to engage with possible successor candidates.

risk oversight responsibility, including with respect to information technology and cybersecurity, sustainability and compensation-related risks, through its committees, with each Board committee regularly reporting to the full Board regarding its activities. For more information on the Board’s committees, see “Board Committees” below. We believe that the Board’s leadership structure, supermajority of independent directors, and allocation of oversight responsibilities to appropriate, fully independent committees, provide effective Board-level risk oversight.

Risk Considerations in our Compensation Programs

The Compensation and Talent Management Committee oversees our executive compensation and employee benefit plans and practices, including our executive compensation programannual short-term and equity-based long term incentive plan,plans, and in doing so, annually reviews each to see that they do not encourage excessive risk taking. We believe that our compensation practices, which link a substantial portion of executive pay to the Company’s long-term performance through our annual and long term incentive plans, and require executives to meet minimum share ownership requirements, mitigate excessive risk taking. We also have a policy prohibiting employees from engaging in speculative transactions involving our common shares, including hedging or pledging transactions. For additional information on these policies, see “Anti-Hedging and Anti-Pledging Policy” below.

IfIn February 2021, the Board increased the non-employee director share ownership guideline to five times the base annual retainer.
Non-employee directors are expected to meet their required ownership level within five years from their appointment.

PROPOSAL 2
ADVISORY VOTE ON THE COMPENSATION
OF NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

In accordance with Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, or “Dodd-Frank Act,” and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, Triton is providing shareholders with the opportunity to cast an advisory vote on the compensation of its Named Executive Officers as disclosed in this Proxy Statement. This proposal, which is commonly known as a “say-on-pay” proposal, provides shareholders with the opportunity to cast non-binding, advisory votes on the compensation of our Named Executive Officers. Based on the results of the May 10, 2017 shareholder vote on the frequency of holding the advisory vote on the compensation of our Named Executive Officers, and consistent with our recommendation, our Board of Directors has determined that Triton will hold an advisory vote on executive compensation every year.

As described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section of this Proxy Statement, Triton seeks to provide its senior executives with compensation packages that fairly reward the executives for their contributions to the Company and allows Triton to recruit and retain high quality individuals. Triton seeks to structure its compensation plans so that they are straightforward for the executives and shareholders to understand and value, and relatively easy for the Company to administer. Triton links a portion of overall compensation to near-term and long-term measures of performance to motivate senior executives and align their interests with those of our shareholders.

The purpose of this proposal is to provide an advisory vote on the overall compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers. Accordingly, the Board of Directors will request that the Company’s shareholders vote on the following resolution at the 2019 Annual Meeting of Shareholders:

“RESOLVED, that the Company’s shareholders approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the named executive officers as disclosed pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission in the Company’s Proxy Statement for the 2019 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, including in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the compensation tables and other related disclosures of the Company’s Proxy Statement.”

While the advisory vote we are asking you to cast is not binding on the Company, the Board of Directors values the opinions of our shareholders regarding the compensation of Triton’s Named Executive Officers. Your advisory vote will serve as an additional tool to guide the Board of Directors and Compensation and Talent Management Committee in the alignment of Triton’s executive compensation programs with the interests of the Company and our shareholders.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE COMPENSATION OF THE COMPANY’S NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AS DESCRIBED INTHIS PROXY STATEMENT.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

2018 Business Overview

2020 Performance Highlights

Triton ishad a remarkable year in 2020, and we achieved strong performance despite the world's largest lessorCOVID-19 pandemic and related wide-ranging disruptions. The first half of intermodal containers. Intermodal containers are large, standardized steel boxes used to transport freight by ship, rail or truck. Because2020 was challenging, as lingering impacts from the trade dispute between the United States and China weighed on container demand at the start of the handling efficiencies they provide, intermodal containers areyear, while the primary meansoutbreak of the pandemic and resulting lockdowns led to a sharp decrease in trade volumes during the first and second quarters. Triton’s operations were also impacted by which many goodsthe pandemic as we were forced to close our offices and materials are shipped internationally. We also lease chassis, which are usedshift to a remote working environment. Trade volumes, leasing demand and Triton’s performance surged in the second half of 2020 as lockdowns eased and as consumers shifted their spending from experiences and services to goods. Containerized trade volumes reached record levels during the third and fourth quarters of 2020 and Triton secured a substantial share of new leasing activity due to our leading supply capability and reputation for the transportation of containers.

outstanding reliability. Our consolidated operations include the acquisition, leasing, re-leasing and subsequent sale of multiple types of intermodal containers and chassis. As of December 31, 2018, our total fleet consisted of 3,714,103 containers and chassis, representing 6,166,458 twenty-foot equivalent units ("TEU") or 7,595,948 cost equivalent units ("CEU"). We have an extensive global presence, offering leasing service through 23 offices in 16 countries and approximately 400 third-party container depot facilities in approximately 45 countriesutilization reached almost 99.0% as of December 31, 2018.2020. The strong demand for containers also led to significant increases in new and used container prices and market leasing rates. Triton’s profitability also surged in the second half of the year, and our fourth quarter financial results represented a record for Triton. Our primary customers includeannual Adjusted Return on Equity reached 15.9%.

Triton also maintained our focus on disciplined capital management and delivering significant value to shareholders across the world's largest container shipping lines.

Triton achieved outstanding resultscycle of market conditions. While our investment in 2018 and we exceeded all of our primary financial targets. Demand for ournew containers was supported by several factors, including solid trade growth, an increased preference for leasing relative to direct container purchases by our shipping line customers, and a strong leasing share for Triton. Triton took advantagelow in the first half of the favorableyear due to weak demand, we shifted our investment focus to share repurchases, and repurchased 5.1 million shares in 2020. We quickly shifted our focus to value added fleet growth as market conditions surged in the third quarter and have continued growing our strong position to drive highnew container utilization, solid growthfleet into 2021. We paid $2.13 per share on our common shares in 2020 and increased our common share dividend by nearly 10%. We achieved an annual TSR of 28.9%.

Our corporate performance was a key factor in our container fleet and excellent financial performance. Our Adjusted net income in 2018 was $363 million, an increase of 71% from 2017. Our Adjusted return on equity was 16.7% in 2018, an increase from 11.8% in 2017, and we grew the net book value of2020 Named Executive Officer compensation. The tables below illustrate our revenue earning assets by 8.8% in 2018.

DETAILED COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Roles and Responsibilities

The Compensation and Talent Management Committee (“Compensation Committee”) is comprised of three independent directors: Claude Germain (Chair), David Coulter and John Hextall. In accordance with its written charter, the Compensation Committee is responsible for establishing and overseeing our compensation and benefit philosophies, plans and practices, including the compensation for our executive annual base salary amounts, annual incentive compensation program and equity-based compensation plan.

Named Executive Officers.

The Compensation Committee annually evaluates annually the performance of the Chief Executive Officer and all other executive officers in light of the goals and objectives of the Company’s executive compensation plans and determines and approves the Chief Executive Officer’s and other executive officers’ compensation levels based on this evaluation. The Compensation Committee has the authority under its charter to retain compensation consultants to assist it in setting executive compensation.

In establishingdetermining annual executive compensation, the Compensation Committee utilizesconsiders the following:

executive compensation history;
comparable company performance and compensation;
input and
recommendations from its independent compensation consultant; and
executive and Company performance relative to established targets.
At the Compensation Committee’s request, Mr. Sondey provides performance evaluations and compensation recommendations for the other Named Executive Officers.

ElementsDetermining Performance Goals
The Compensation Committee sets performance goals under the annual incentive plan and long-term incentive plan to support the Company’s business plans and strategies and build long-term shareholder value. In setting the performance goals, the Compensation Committee considers the Company’s financial forecasts under a range of Compensation

Our executive compensation program in 2018 consistedscenarios and other factors, including actual and anticipated economic and industry conditions, pay for performance alignment and the pay practices of the following principal elements:

base salary;
annual cash-based incentive compensation based onpeer group companies. The Compensation Committee sets challenging, but achievable, goals for the Company and its key executives to appropriately drive the achievement of individualshort- and Companylong-term objectives.
Competitive Market Positioning
The Compensation Committee retained Meridian Partners LLC as its independent compensation consultant to provide advice and recommendations to the Compensation Committee with respect to the Company’s executive compensation programs and Named Executive Officer compensation decisions for 2020. Meridian assessed the overall target and actual compensation levels and analyzed the mix of base salary, annual incentive compensation and long-term compensation of the Named Executive Officers at a select group of peer companies. The Compensation Committee did not specifically link the target or actual compensation levels of our Named Executive Officers to those at the selected peer companies, but rather used the peer analysis as a point of reference when determining appropriate overall compensation levels and mix of compensation for our Named Executive Officers. The Compensation Committee retains the flexibility to set compensation levels at, above or below the median of the peer company group in the Committee's reasonable discretion taking into account factors such as market conditions, job responsibilities, experience, skill sets and actual or potential contributions to Triton. In addition, actual compensation earned in any year may be at, above, or below the median depending on the individual's and Triton's performance goals;for the year.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The peer group companies used by Meridian in the 2020 review were:
Aircastle Limited
Herc Holdings Inc.
Air Lease Corp.
Hub Group, Inc.
Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings
Matson, Inc.
Forward Air Corporation
Mobile Mini Inc.
GATX Corporation
Werner Enterprises, Inc.
H&E Equipment Services, Inc.
equity-basedAs the Company has few direct competitors, for purposes of defining the Company’s peer group, Meridian selected companies that operate in similar or adjacent industries, such as the leasing of transportation and other equipment, shipping, freight forwarding, and trucking that are comparable to Triton in terms of revenues, asset size and market capitalization. The Company’s two public container leasing company peers, Textainer Group Holdings Limited (“Textainer”) and CAI International, Inc. (“CAI”), were excluded from the executive compensation peer group. Textainer was excluded because, as a foreign private issuer, it is not required to file a definitive proxy statement but rather includes high-level summary compensation information in its annual report on Form 20-F; accordingly, the compensation details provided are not specific enough to be used in the peer group analysis. CAI was excluded as its revenue and market capitalization figures relative to the Company were considered to be too small to be included in the executive compensation peer group.
The composition of the peer group is reviewed annually to ensure it remains appropriate in terms of company size and business focus and to reflect mergers, acquisitions or other business related changes that may occur. The following changes have been approved to the peer group for 2021:
Aircastle Limited was acquired in 2020 and was removed from the peer group;
Mobile Mini merged with WillScot Corporation in 2020 and was replaced in the peer group by WillScot Mobile Mini, the go-forward entity in the merger; and
the peer group was expanded by adding the following companies:
Air Transport Services Group Inc.,
CIT Group Inc.,
Cubesmart,
Life Storage, Inc. and
McGrath RentCorp.
The 2020 benchmarking analysis indicated that total direct compensation (i.e., base salary, plus target annual bonus, plus long term incentive compensation) and mix of compensation elements for Mr. Sondey and Mr. O’Callaghan were close to the peer group median. The total compensation of the remaining Named Executive Officers at the time of the analysis was below the market median of the peer group. The Compensation Committee also evaluated the Company’s financial performance relative to the financial performance of the selected peer companies. The analysis demonstrated that the Company’s performance was in the top quartile of the peer group based on three-year TSR and one and three-year Return on Equity.

To that end, our compensation program is substantially performance-based and uses a mix of short- and long-term incentive compensation elements with metrics that align with our business strategy and the nature of the industry in which we operate.

We also provide certain retirement and other employee benefits. Further details on each element of compensation are discussed below.

Base Salary

The Compensation Committee believes that competitive base salaries are necessary to attract and retain managerial talent. Base salaries are set at levels considered to be appropriate for the scope of the job function and the level of responsibility of the individual, the skills and qualifications of the individual, andindividual performance, the amount of time spent in the position.position, internal pay relationships and geographic circumstances. Base salaries are also evaluated relative to the amounts paid to executive officers with similar qualifications, experience and responsibilities at the peer group companies.

20182020 Annual Cash-Based Incentive Plan

The Compensation Committee established a 20182020 annual incentive plan that covered all Triton executives, including our Named Executive Officers. The Compensation Committee established the target incentive compensation amount and target incentive compensation range for the Chief Executive Officer. The Chief Executive Officer made target incentive compensation recommendations to the Compensation Committee for the other Named Executive Officers, and the Compensation Committee reviewed the Chief Executive Officer’s recommendations and approved the recommendations after discussion and refinements. TargetsTarget incentive opportunities were set at levels considered appropriate for the job function and skills of each individual, and to reflect the individual’s ability to impact Company performance. TargetsTarget incentive opportunities were also evaluated relative to peer group levels, and generally referenced to benchmark data.levels. Under the plan, incentive compensation targets and ranges are expressed as a percentage of base salary, as set forth in the table below.

Payout calculations under the 20182020 annual incentive plan were based 50% on Triton’s 20182020 consolidated financial performance and based 50% on individual performance. The financial performance element of the plan included three financial measures: Adjusted net income (60% weighting), return on equity (20% weighting) and growth in revenue earning assets (20% weighting). For Named Executive Officers, the individual performance payout was driven by the Company’s success in three critical areas: marketing and container fleet performance (45% weighting), capital management and corporate structuring (35% weighting), and finalization of post-merger organizational form (20% weighting). The actual payout under the Company financial performance and individual performance elements of the plan could range from 0% to 200% based on actual performance compared to target levels, and the Compensation Committee could also use a subjective assessment of the perceived strength and importance of the contributioncontributions of each of the executive officers to increase or decrease the calculated payout levels. All annual incentive awards earned by our Named Executive Officers are subject to our Clawback Policy.clawback policy.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Financial Performance Goals
For 2020, the Compensation Committee established and set targets for three financial performance metrics: Adjusted Earnings Per Share, Growth in Revenue Earning Assets and Adjusted Return on Equity. In setting the performance targets at the beginning of each year, the Compensation Committee reviews with management the Company’s financial forecasts and business plans and actual and anticipated conditions in the business cycle. The Committee sets targets intended to align executive compensation with the appropriate achievement of profitability, growth and return targets taking into account these factors. The table below summarizes the 2020 targets, weightings and Triton’s actual performance for each of the metrics. Based on these targets, the calculated payout for the financial performance component of the 2020 annual incentive plan was 131%.

Individual Performance Goals
For 2020, individual performance objectives set by the Compensation Committee for the Named Executive Officers were tied to numerous specific objectives for the overall company or within their business units or functional areas. These objectives were set in early 2020, before the COVID-19 pandemic. They included achieving target levels for key operating metrics, such as fleet utilization; achieving critical investment goals such as obtaining a target leasing share and target expected returns for new container investments; progressing identified business transformation initiatives to further enhance Triton’s competitive advantages; enhancing Triton’s organization, especially in regard to talent and leadership development; enhancing risk management processes and increasing our corporate focus on ESG initiatives.
The Committee determined that most of the operating and investment goals, as well as several of the organizational goals were exceeded in 2020, despite disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, while progress on some of the strategic and business transformation objectives was mixed, the Committee determined that management’s enhanced focus on delivering the operating and investment objectives, careful management of the increased complexity and risks caused by the pandemic, as well as success in aggressively pursuing the value creation opportunities provided by the surge in trade volumes and leasing demand in the second half of the year, substantially exceeded expectations. Among the key accomplishments influencing the Committee’s decisions on the individual performance portion of the annual incentive awards for 2020 were the following results:
Successfully navigating the rapid transition to remote working globally while managing business continuity risks across all operations and functions.
Significantly growing our market share of leasing transactions.
Achieving nearly 99% equipment utilization rate at the end of the year.
Increasing lease durations for new and used equipment, thus locking in attractive lease rates for extended terms.

Skillfully managing increased customer credit risk during the first half of the year, including rapidly reducing higher risk exposures and collaboratively working with customers to profitably mitigate short-term challenges.
Rigorously managing the Company’s capital allocation strategy through the pandemic, including focusing on aggressive share repurchases in the first half of the year while market conditions were weak and rapidly pivoting to accelerated fleet growth when market conditions inflected upwards, all while lowering overall leverage, attractively refinancing existing debt and increasing annual dividends by nearly 10%.
Continuously maintaining a focus on employee safety, wellness and engagement.
As a result, the payouts under the individual performance goals for the Named Executive Officers ranged from 135% to 200%, averaging 170%.
COVID-19 Adjustment Factor for 2020 Annual Incentive Plan
In further recognition of the extraordinary personal and business challenges faced in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the increased dedication and collaboration required to successfully deliver the Company’s strong financial and operating results while managing increased operational, supply chain, customer credit and human capital risks, including the rapid transition to remote working, the Compensation Committee determined to increase the calculated payout under the annual incentive plan for each of the NEOs by a factor of 1.1 times. Triton included this adjustment factor for all employees participating in the annual incentive plan.
The table below shows the actual payouts under the annual incentive plan for each Named Executive Officer for 2020.

The Compensation Committee regularly reviews and Resultsrefines our compensation program to ensure it remains competitive, supports strategic objectives and rewards performance. For 2021, the Compensation Committee has approved changes to the annual incentive plan such that the Adjusted Return on Equity metric will be replaced with Cash Flow Before Capital Expenditures, which is a measure we report externally and is viewed by our shareholders as an important measure of liquidity for Named Executive Officers.

2020 Long-Term Incentive Program Awards
All share awards granted under the 2016 Equity Incentive Planour equity incentive program have a 3 year3-year cliff vesting period, with 50% of the shares constituting time-based awards contingent on the executive’s continued employment with the Company through the vesting date, and 50% constituting performance-based awards. Awards will pay out in Triton common shares, plus dividends accrued over the vesting period on earned shares. For performance-based share awards granted in 2020, the level of vesting will be contingent on the Company’s relative TSR over the vesting period (subject to the executive’s continued employment with the Company through the vesting date as well as the Company’s total shareholder return (“TSR”) over the three-year performance periodemployment) versus the TSR over the same period of the following peer companies:

TABLE OF CONTENTS

2020 Long-Term Incentive Program Payouts
The number of shares that vested in 2020 for our NEOs was significantly lower than the number of shares scheduled to vest in upcoming years. This is because our then-serving NEOs were granted equity awards following the closing of the TCIL and TAL merger in July 2016 that were intended to cover the compensation periods for both the second half of 2016 as well as the full year of 2017. These awards vested in September 2019. Mr. O’Callaghan was the only NEO who had an equity award that vested in 2020, which included a performance-based share award that vested at the maximum level. The following table shows the performance-based and time-based equity awards that vested in 2020 for our NEOs. Amounts shown below are included in the Options Exercised and Stock Vested table on page 38 of this proxy statement:

2021 Long-Term Incentive Plan Design Change
The Compensation Committee determined that, beginning with the 2021 grant which will vest in 2024, Adjusted Return on Equity would be added as an additional performance metric to the performance-based restricted shares awarded to our Named Executive Officers. In determining to add Adjusted Return on Equity as an additional long-term performance metric, the Compensation Committee considered that it would serve as a complementary metric to relative TSR as it is an important metric tied to long-term value creation. In addition, beginning with the 2021 award grant, the performance share payout formula will be adjusted so that performance between minimum and target levels and between target and maximum levels will be determined by linear interpolation between the relevant payout percentages.
Executive Share Ownership Guidelines

The Company has adopted share ownership guidelines to help achieve our compensation objective of linking the interests of our executives to those of our shareholders. The guidelines provide that each Named Executive Officer must maintain ownership of a number of Company shares with a market value equal to the specified multiple of the executive’s base salary as shown in the table below:

Executive officers are expected to meet the guidelines within five years of becoming subject to the guidelines. Attainment of the guidelines is reviewed annually. As of December 31, 2020, all of our Named Executive Officers had met or are on track to meet their required ownership levels within the five-year period. Ownership that counts for the guidelines includes common shares, unvested time-based restricted shares or restricted share units, unvested time-based share options or share appreciation rights, unvested performance-based share appreciation rights, and shares or units held by a Named Executive Officer in any deferral plan. For restrictedperformance-based share grants and other grants that are both time-based and performance-based,awards, the minimum amountnumber of shares that will be awarded under the grant count towards the ownership guidelines.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

All of our Named Executive Officers met their required ownership levels as of the date the share ownership guidelines were adopted.

If at any time a Named Executive Officer is not in compliance with these guidelines, the Named Executive Officer will be required to retain 50 percent of the net (after taxes) shares received upon the exercise of any share options or share appreciation rights and/or upon the vesting of any restricted shares or restricted share units until the guideline ownership levels have been reached.

2019 Target Compensation

For 2019, the Compensation Committee established new target compensation levels under our executive compensation programs for the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer as summarized in the table below. Actual amounts paid in respect of 2019 may differ from the target amounts shown due to above or below target level payouts under the annual cash-based incentive plan and the long-term equity compensation plan.

Clawback Policy

The Company has a Clawbackclawback policy to encourage sound risk management and accountability. The Clawbackclawback policy provides that performance basedperformance-based compensation awarded to or earned by our executive officers (including under the annual incentive plan and the long-term incentive plan) may be required to be forfeited or repaid to the Company in the event of a restatement of the Company’s financial statements. Compensation subject to recovery includes the excess amounts of performance basedperformance-based compensation awarded or paid to the executive due to the misstated financial results, and covers awards for the three-year period preceding the date of the financial restatement. The Compensation and Talent Management Committee administers and makes determinations under the Clawbackclawback policy.

Benchmarking

The Company retained Mercer, an operating unit of Marsh & McLennan & Companies, Inc., to provide advice and recommendations to the Compensation Committee with respect to the Company’s executive and director compensation programs.

Mercer assessed the overall target and actual compensation levels and analyzed the mix of base salary, annual incentive compensation and long-term and equity-linked compensation of the named executive officers at a select group of peer companies. The Compensation Committee did not specifically link the target or actual compensation levels of our Named Executive Officers to those at the selected peer companies, but rather used the peer analysis as a point of

24

TABLE OF CONTENTS

reference when determining appropriate overall compensation levels and mix of compensation for our Named Executive Officers. Mercer also provided survey information about overall compensation and the mix of compensation at a wider range of businesses. The Compensation Committee used this survey data as an additional point of reference.

The benchmarking analysis indicated the total direct compensation (i.e., base salary plus target annual bonus plus long term incentive compensation) for the CEO was slightly above the peer group median, mainly due to higher than median long-term equity compensation. The total compensation of the remaining Named Executive Officers was below the market median of the selected peer group.

The Compensation Committee also evaluated the Company’s financial performance relative to the financial performance of the selected peer companies. The Committee concluded that the one and three year financial performance of the Company was in the upper end of the peer group range.

The peer group companies used by Mercer in the 2018 benchmarking survey were:

Aircastle Limited
Hub Group
Air Lease Corp.
Matson
Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings
Mobile Mini
Forward Air
Werner Enterprise Holdings
GATX
H&E Equipment Services
Herc Holdings Inc

Mercer selected companies for use in the peer group that operate in similar or adjacent industries, such as the leasing of transportation and other equipment, shipping, freight forwarding, and trucking that are similar to Triton in terms of revenue, asset size and market capitalization (in millions). The Company’s two public container leasing company peers, Textainer Group Holdings Limited (“Textainer”) and CAI International, Inc. (“CAI”), were excluded from the pay peer group. Textainer was excluded because, as a foreign private issuer, it is not required to file a definitive proxy statement but rather includes high-level summary compensation information in its annual report on Form 20-F; accordingly, the compensation details provided are not specific enough to be used in the peer group analysis. CAI’s revenue and market capitalization figures range from 20% to 35% of the corresponding metrics of the Company, and therefore CAI was considered to be too small to be included in the pay peer group. The following tables summarize the key financial and performance metrics of the pay peer group:

All of our unvested restricted common shares provideshare awards outstanding under the 2016 Equity Plan are “double-trigger” in nature, meaning that the awards shallwill vest (with any applicable performance conditions deemed to be fully achieved) if, within two years following a Change in Control, the recipient experiences a qualifying termination of employment. Otherwise, we have no individual change of control agreements with any of our Named Executive Officers.

Employment Agreement with Mr. Sondey

In November 2004, TAL entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Sondey in order to retain Mr. Sondey’s services as TAL’s Chief Executive Officer. The employment agreement was assumed by the Company in connection with the closing of the merger.merger of TCIL and TAL in July 2016. The employment agreement currently provides for automatically renewing successive one-year terms subject to at least 90 days’ advance notice by either party of a decision not to renew the employment agreement. Mr. Sondey’s base salary for 20182020 was $900,000$950,000 and under the terms of the employment agreement, is increased annually to reflect his performance and increases in the consumer price index. Mr. Sondey is also entitled to certain perquisites, as well as other benefits that are provided to other employees, which include health and disability insurance and paid vacations. Mr. Sondey is entitled to severance pay if his employment is terminated by us without cause (as defined in the employment agreement), if he terminates his employment for good reason (as defined in the employment agreement) or if he dies or becomes disabled. Upon a termination without cause or for good reason, Mr. Sondey is entitled to severance pay equal to his base salary and incentive compensation for 18 months. Upon a termination due to death or disability, Mr. Sondey is entitled to severance pay equal to his base salary and incentive compensation for one year plus a pro-rated portion of the bonus (based on the

TABLE OF CONTENTS

period from the beginning of the year through the date of termination) that he would have been entitled to receive had his employment not terminated. Upon termination of Mr. Sondey’s employment for any reason or no reason, subject to our election to continue to pay to Mr. Sondey his base salary for a one-year period following such termination, unless such termination is for cause, Mr. Sondey will be restricted from competing with us for a period of one year following such termination.

Non-Compete Agreements

We have not entered into employment agreements with any of our other Named Executive Officers. However, all of our Named Executive Officers are bound by non-compete agreements, which provide that upon the termination of a Named Executive Officer’s employment for any reason or no reason, subject to our election to continue to pay to that Named Executive Officer his or her base salary for a one year period following such termination, unless such termination is for cause, the Named Executive Officer will be restricted from competing with us for a period of one year following such termination. Under the non-compete agreements, our Named Executive Officers are also prohibited from disclosing any of our confidential information.

Employee Severance Plan

The

Our Named Executive Officers (other than Mr. Sondey) participate in the Employee Severance Plan, which provides benefits to all eligible employees upon a termination of employment by the Company without cause or by the participant for good reason (each as defined in the Employee Severance Plan), subject to the participant’s execution of a release of claims in connection with his or her termination of employment.

26

TABLE OF CONTENTS

These severance benefits consist of: (1) for those employees with less than 3 completed years of service, a base amount of 4 weeks of pay plus 1 additional week of pay for each completed year of service, and for those employees with 3 or more completed years of service, a base amount of 8 weeks of pay plus 1 additional week of pay for each completed year of service, with a maximum award of 32 weeks of pay; (2) Company-provided outplacement services; and (3) payment by the Company of the Company portion of COBRA premiums for Company sponsored group health benefits for a period of up to 6 months (or, if earlier, until the date on which the participant becomes eligible for coverage under another employer-provided plan). For purposes of the Employee Severance Plan, a week of pay is calculated by dividing the eligible employee’s annual base salary plus bonus target by 52.

Anti-Hedging and Anti-Pledging Policy

– Hedging and Pledging of Shares Prohibited

Hedging and similar monetization transactions by a director or an executive officer can lead to a misalignment between the objectives of that director or executive officer and the objectives of our shareholders. The Company has aCompany’s insider trading policy prohibitingprohibits employees, including officers, and directors from engaging in speculativehedging transactions involvingwith respect to Company shares,securities and from pledging Company securities beneficially owned by them, including purchasing Company shares on margin, pledging Company shares to secure a loan, trading in options on the Company’s shares, or short sales of Company shares.

Tax Deductibility of Compensation

Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m) imposes a limit of $1 million per year on the amount of compensation paid to certain executive officers that a company may deduct for any single taxable year. Historically, the deduction limitation did not apply to “qualified performance basedperformance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m).

However, on December 22, 2017, the U.S. enacted the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) which made significant changes to Section 162(m) that are generally effective for compensation paid in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017. The Act eliminates the historic exception for qualified performance-based compensation.compensation, unless the compensation qualifies for certain transition relief. In addition, the Act provides that the deduction limitation will apply to an individual who served as the CEO or CFO at any time during the taxable year or one of the three highest compensated officers (other than the CEO or CFO) for the taxable year (collectively, the “covered employees”). Once an individual is a covered employee for a taxable year beginning after December 31, 2016, the individual is considered a covered employee for all future years, including after termination of employment and even after death. AsDespite these limits on the deductibility of performance-based compensation, the Compensation Committee believes that shareholder interests are best served if its discretion and flexibility in awarding compensation is not restricted, and if a result, we expect thatsignificant portion of our executives’ compensation paidcontinues to our Named Executive Officers in excess of $1 million generally willbe tied to the Company’s performance, even though some compensation awards may not be fully tax deductible.

To determine the median employee, we made a direct determination from our global employee population, of approximately 243 individuals. We established a consistently applied compensation measure inclusive of base pay, overtime, annual incentives, and allowances to identify the Company’s median employee. Our employee population was evaluated as of December 31, 2018, and reflects compensation paid from January 1, 2018, through December 31, 2018. Where allowed under the applicable SEC rule, we have annualized compensation for full time and part-time employees newly hired in 2018. Non-US compensation was converted to US dollars based on the applicable exchange rates as of December 31, 2018.

Based on the above determination, the annual total compensation (under the Summary Compensation Table definition) for the median employee is $114,503. Using the CEO’s total compensation of $4,473,327 under the same definition, the resulting ratio is 39:1.

Description of Equity Compensation Plan

Triton International Limited 2016 Equity Incentive Plan

On July 8, 2016, the Board of Directors approved the adoption of the Triton International Limited 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2016 Equity Incentive Plan”). The terms and conditions of the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan are briefly described below. This summary of the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan is not intended to be a complete description of the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan, and is qualified in its entirety by the actual text of the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan to which reference is made.

The maximum number of common shares with respect to which awards may be granted under the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan is 5,000,000. To the extent that any shares subject to awards have been canceled, expired, not issued or forfeited for any reason (in whole or in part), such shares will again be available for awards under the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan. Shares subject to awards that have been retained by the Company or delivered to the Company in payment or satisfaction of the purchase price or tax withholding obligations will not be available for subsequent grant under the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan.

The 2016 Equity Incentive Plan is administered by the Compensation and Talent Management Committee of the Board of Directors, which has the power to determine the eligibility of individuals to receive awards, the types and number of shares subject to awards, the pricing and timing of awards and to establish the terms, conditions, performance criteria and restrictions on awards.

Any of the employees, consultants, directors or any other person providing services to the Company or its affiliates, as determined by the Compensation and Talent Management Committee, may be selected to participate in the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan. The granting of awards under the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan is discretionary and therefore, the Company cannot now determine the number or type of awards to be granted in the future to any particular person or group. These participants may receive one or more of the following awards:

Stock Options. Stock options may be granted under the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan, including incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options.
Stock Appreciation Rights (SAR). A SAR entitles a participant to receive a payment equal in value to the difference between the fair market value of a share on the date of exercise of the SAR over the exercise price of the SAR, which shall be payable in cash or common shares.
Restricted Shares. A restricted share award is the grant of common shares on a date determined by the Compensation and Talent Management Committee, and is subject to substantial risk of forfeiture until specific conditions or goals are met.
Dividend Equivalent Rights. The award of Dividend Equivalent Rights permits the participant to earn an amount equal to the dividends or other distributions payable with respect to common shares.
Cash Awards. Awards that are payable solely in cash may be granted under the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan, subjected to such conditions and restrictions as the Compensation and Talent Management Committee may determine.

35

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The terms and conditions of all awards under the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan will be determined by the Compensation and Talent Management Committee at the time of the grant of the award and will be reflected in the award agreement.

In the event that a Change in Control (as defined in theTriton’s 2016 Equity Incentive Plan) occurs and a participant’s employment is subsequently terminated by the Company or its affiliates without Cause or by the participant for Good Reason (in each case as defined in the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan) within the two years following the Change in Control, unless otherwise specifically prohibited under applicable laws, or by the rules and regulations of any governing governmental agencies or national securities exchanges (a) any and all options and SARs granted under the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan shall become immediately exercisable and (b) any restriction periods and restrictions imposed on restricted shares or other awards shall lapse and performance conditions shall be deemed to be fully achieved.

Each award agreement shall set forth the extent to which the participant shall have the right to exercise optionsachieved and SARs, receive unvested restricted shares and unvested dividend equivalent rights, following termination of service with the Company.

CEO PAY RATIO
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) requires the Company to determine the ratio of the CEO’s annual total compensation (as calculated in the Summary Compensation Table) to that of the Company’s median employee.
To determine the median employee, we made a direct determination from our global employee population (other than our CEO) of approximately 242 individuals. We established a consistently applied compensation measure inclusive of base pay, overtime, annual incentives, and allowances to identify the Company’s median employee. Our employee population was evaluated as of December 31, 2020, and reflects compensation paid from January 1, 2020, through December 31, 2020. Where allowed under the applicable SEC rule, we have annualized compensation for full-time and part-time employees newly hired in 2020. Non-U.S. compensation was converted to U.S. dollars based on the applicable exchange rates as of December 31, 2020.
Based on the above, the annual total compensation for the median employee for 2020 was $125,349. Using the CEO’s total 2020 compensation of $4,975,895 as presented in the Summary Compensation Table, the resulting ratio is 40:1.

Important Information About the Virtual Shareholder Meeting
Triton International Limited’s 2021 Annual Meeting will be conducted online only, via a live webcast. It is important to Triton that our shareholders are able to have robust participation rights in our virtual annual meeting. Below are some frequently asked questions regarding the virtual format for our Annual Meeting.
Why is this meeting virtual only? In light of public health and safety concerns regarding the continuing COVID-19 pandemic and related restrictions, and to provide expanded access, improved efficiency and cost savings for our shareholders and Triton, the Annual Meeting will be held online via live webcast. There will not be a physical location for the Annual Meeting and you will not be able to attend the Annual Meeting in person.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This Proxy Statementproxy statement includes certain non-GAAP financial measures and certain financial measures computed using non-GAAP components, as defined by the SEC. These measures are not in accordance with, or a substitute for, GAAP, and our financial measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. We have provided a reconciliation of our non-GAAP components to the most directly comparable GAAP measures or components.

We exclude the effects of certain tax adjustments and other items net of tax for purposes of presenting net income, diluted earnings per share, and return on equity because we believe these items are not attributable to our business operations. Management utilizes this information when analyzing financial performance because such amounts reflect the underlying operating results that are within management’s ability to influence. Accordingly, we believe presenting this information provides investors and other users of our financial statements with meaningful supplemental information for purposes of analyzing year-to-year financial performance on a comparable basis and assessing trends.
