Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
As described in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Triton International Limited (the "Company") with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 23, 2020 and in the Company’s proxy statement for its 2020 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (the "Annual Meeting") to be held on April 21, 2020, director Karen Austin has decided not to stand for re-election at the Annual Meeting in order to devote more time to her other professional commitments and activities. As a result, upon the expiration of Ms. Austin's term on the date of the Annual Meeting, the Board of Directors (the "Board") will no longer have a female director.
The Board is committed to recruiting highly qualified director candidates with diverse backgrounds, inclusive of gender, race, ethnicity, age, sexual orientation and gender identity. In that regard, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has commenced a search for a new director to join the Board and has retained a search firm to assist it in identifying potential candidates, prioritizing gender diversity, among other relevant qualifications, in the search. The Board is committed to appointing a female director by the date of the 2021 Annual Meeting, expected to be held in April 2021.
