Overallotment Option to Purchase Additional Series A Preference Shares
We have granted an option to the underwriters, exercisable for 30 days after the date of this prospectus supplement, to purchase up to 450,000 additional Series A Preference Shares at the public offering price, less the underwriting discount, solely to cover overallotments. If the underwriters exercise this overallotment option, each will be obligated, subject to conditions contained in the underwriting agreement, to purchase a number of additional Series A Preference Shares proportionate to that underwriter’s initial amount reflected in the above table.
No Sales of Similar Securities
We have agreed that, for a period of 30 days from the date of this prospectus supplement and subject to certain exceptions, we will not, without the prior written consent of the representatives, (i) directly or indirectly, offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase or otherwise transfer or dispose of any Series A Preference Shares, any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Series A Preference Shares or any securities that are substantially similar to the Series A Preference Shares, whether owned as of the date hereof or hereafter acquired or with respect to which we have acquired or hereafter acquire the power of disposition, or file, or cause to be filed, any registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to any of the foregoing (collectively, the“Lock-Up Securities”) or (ii) enter into any swap or any other agreement or any transaction that transfers, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, the economic consequence of ownership of theLock-Up Securities, whether any such swap or transaction is to be settled by delivery ofLock-Up Securities, in cash or otherwise.
NYSE Listing
The Series A Preference Shares are a new issue of securities with no established trading market. We intend to apply to list the Series A Preference Shares on the NYSE under the symbol “TRTN PR A.” If the application is approved, trading of the Series A Preference Shares on the NYSE is expected to begin within 30 days after the date of initial delivery of the Series A Preference Shares. The underwriters have advised us that they intend to make a market in the Series A Preference Shares before commencement of trading on the NYSE. They will have no obligation to make a market in the Series A Preference Shares, however, and may cease market-making activities, if commenced, at any time. However, an active trading market on the NYSE for the Series A Preference Shares may not develop or, even if one develops, may not last, in which case the liquidity and market price of the Series A Preference Shares could be adversely affected, the difference between bid and asked prices could be substantial and your ability to transfer Series A Preference Shares at the time and price desired will be limited.
Price Stabilization, Short Positions
Until the distribution of the Series A Preference Shares is completed, SEC rules may limit underwriters and selling group members from bidding for and purchasing our Series A Preference Shares. However, the representatives may engage in transactions that have the effect of stabilizing the price of the Series A Preference Shares, such as purchases and other activities that peg, fix or maintain that price.
In connection with this offering, the underwriters may bid for or purchase and sell shares of our Series A Preference Shares in the open market. These transactions may include short sales and purchases on the open market to cover positions created by short sales. Short sales involve the sale by the underwriters of a greater number of shares of our Series A Preference Shares than they are required to purchase in this offering. “Covered” short sales are sales made in an amount not greater than the underwriters’ overallotment option to purchase additional Series A Preference Shares described above. The underwriters may close out any covered short position by either exercising their overallotment option to purchase additional Series A Preference Shares or purchasing Series A Preference Shares in the open market. In determining the source of Series A Preference Shares to close out the covered short position, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of
