This Amendment amends and restates Item 3 of the Schedule 13D in its entirety as set forth below.

In connection with the closing of the transactions (the “Mergers”) contemplated by the transaction agreement, dated as of November 9, 2015 (the “Transaction Agreement”), by and among TAL International Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation, the Issuer, Triton Container International Limited, a Bermuda exempted company (“Triton”), Ocean Delaware Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and Ocean Bermuda Sub Limited, a Bermuda exempted company (which entity, along with Ocean Delaware Sub, Inc., was merged out of existence upon the closing of the Mergers), on July 12, 2016, ICIL Triton Holdings, L.P., a Bermuda exempted limited partnership (“ICIL-Triton”), received, in exchange for its 9,863,565.20 common shares of Triton, an aggregate of 7,877,590 Common Shares.
On February 27, 2017, those 7,877,590 Common Shares were transferred to BGL through a pro rata distribution to a wholly-owned subsidiary of BGL and series of transactions among wholly-owned subsidiaries of BGL in reliance upon exemptions from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
On October 5, 2018, BGL entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the "Share Purchase Agreement") to purchase 337,000 Common Shares at a price of $34.78 per share. The transaction was subject to certain closing conditions, including expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, which was terminated on November 1, 2018. On November 1, 2018, all material conditions to closing of the Share Purchase Agreement were satisfied.”
Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction. |
This Amendment amends and restates Item 4 of the Schedule 13D in its entirety as set forth below.
“The information set forth in Items 3 and 6 hereof is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 4.
The Reporting Persons beneficially own the Common Shares as an investment. Subject to the terms of the Shareholders Agreement (as defined and described further below), the Reporting Persons from time to time may decide to increase or decrease their investment in the Issuer through transfers of Common Shares in open market or private transactions or otherwise. On October 16, 2019, BGL sent a letter to the Issuer requesting that the Issuer agree to terminate the Shareholders Agreement. If the Shareholders Agreement is terminated, certain restrictions on transfers of the Common Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons, including with respect to pledging the Common Shares, and registration rights with respect to the Common Shares will be terminated. The timing and amount of any such pledge, increase or decrease may depend upon the price and trading volume of the Common Shares, subsequent developments affecting the Issuer, the Issuer’s business and prospects, other investment and business opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, general stock market and economic conditions, tax considerations and other factors the Reporting Persons consider relevant.
Except as set forth in this Statement, the Reporting Persons and, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any of the individuals listed in Schedule I, have no present plans or proposals which would result in any of the actions specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D; provided, that, the Reporting Persons may, at any time, review or reconsider their position with respect to the Issuer and reserve the right to develop such plans or proposals.”
