Item 8.01 Other Events.
For the six-month period beginning August 15, 2008, GATX Corporation will pay contingent interest on its 5% Senior Convertible Notes due 2023 determined in the manner provided in the indenture under which they were issued, at a rate of 0.25% of the average Trading Price (as defined in the indenture) of $1,000 principal amount of the notes for the five trading days ended August 13, 2008. The indenture requires payment of contingent interest for the six-month period beginning August 15, 2008, because the average Trading Price of the notes for the five trading days ended August 13, 2008, exceeded 120% of the principal amount of the notes. The contingent interest payment for the six-month period equals $4.6069 per $1,000 principal amount of the notes and will accrue together with regular interest on the notes.
