Amalgamation

On January 18, 2013, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Amalgamation with 2357575 Ontario Limited (“Parent”) and SC Acquisitionco Ltd. (“Acquisition Sub”), pursuant to which the Company and Acquisition Sub will amalgamate under the laws of Bermuda and the amalgamated company will continue as a subsidiary of Parent (the “Amalgamation”). In connection with the Amalgamation, certain changes were made in 2013 to the elements of our compensation program to cause them to differ from what is otherwise discussed herein, as more fully disclosed in our Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A, filed on March 21, 2013 (the “Amalgamation Proxy”). The sections of the Amalgamation Proxy titled “The Amalgamation—Interests of SeaCube’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Amalgamation” and “The Amalgamation—Quantification of Potential Payments to Named Executive Officers in Connection with the Amalgamation” are incorporated herein to the extent the matters discussed there could affect a fair understanding of the compensation paid to our named executive officers for 2012.

Objectives of Our Executive Compensation Program

Our primary compensation goals for our named executive officers are to attract, motivate and retain the most talented and dedicated executives and to align annual and long-term incentives for those executives with enhancing shareholder value. To achieve these goals we maintain compensation plans for our named executive officers that:

 

   

Balance short-term and long-term goals by delivering a substantial portion of total compensation through restricted share grants;

 

   

Deliver a mix of fixed and at-risk compensation, including through the use of restricted share grants, the value of which is directly related to our performance; and

 

   

Through the payment of dividends on restricted share grants, tie a substantial portion of overall compensation to the dividends we pay to our shareholders.

Role of Compensation Committee

The compensation committee of our board of directors evaluates our performance, including achievement of key investment and capital raising goals, and the individual performance of each named executive officer with a goal of setting overall compensation at levels that the compensation committee believes are appropriate. Our named executive officers are not in any way directly responsible for determining our CEO’s compensation, although they regularly provide information to the compensation committee that is relevant to the compensation committee’s evaluation of our CEO’s compensation (for instance, in terms of our performance against established compensation goals and otherwise). By contrast, our CEO plays a more active role in determining the compensation of the other named executive officers, who are his subordinates. He regularly advises the compensation committee of his own evaluation of their job performance and, from time to time, offers for consideration by the compensation committee his own recommendations for their compensation levels. The compensation committee has the discretion to consider these recommendations in making compensation determinations.

We did not retain a compensation consultant to review our policies and procedures with respect to executive compensation in respect of 2012.

Elements of Compensation

Our compensation program for our named executive officers consists of the elements set forth below. Determinations regarding any one element of compensation affects determinations regarding each other element of compensation because the goal of the compensation committee is to set overall compensation for our named executive officers at an appropriate level. In this regard, the compensation committee takes into account the extent to which different compensation elements are at risk. Accordingly, for example, the amount of salary paid to a named executive officer is considered by the compensation committee in determining the amount of any cash bonus or restricted share award, but the relationship among the elements is not formulaic because of the need to balance the likelihood that the at-risk components of the compensation will actually be paid at any particular level.

Table of Contents

Base Salary. Base salaries for our named executive officers are established based upon the scope of their responsibilities and by taking into account the compensation levels from their recent prior employment. Base salaries are reviewed annually and adjusted from time to time in view of individual responsibilities, performance and experience. The compensation committee conducts annual salary reviews in December of each year. In January 2013, Mr. Kwok’s base salary was increased to $425,000, Mr. Bishop’s base salary was increased to $315,000 and Ms. Leach’s base salary was increased to $285,000. The current base salaries for our named executive officers are as follows:

 

   

Joseph Kwok, $425,000;

 

   

Stephen P. Bishop, $315,000; and

 

   

Lisa D. Leach, $285,000.

These base salaries are intended to complement the at-risk components of our compensation program for our named executive officers by assuring that the executives will receive an appropriate minimum level of compensation.

Cash Bonuses and Restricted Share Bonus Grants. The compensation committee has the authority to award annual bonuses to our named executive officers in the form of cash and/or restricted share grants or other share-based awards. These annual incentive bonuses are intended to compensate officers for individual performance achievements, for our overall financial performance and for achieving important milestones. Bonus levels vary depending on the individual executive and generally include such factors as our overall financial performance, quality and amount of new investments, enhancing our dividend paying capability and improving our operations. The compensation committee makes annual discretionary bonus determinations in December of each year. Discretionary cash bonuses are ordinarily paid in a single installment in January of the year following determination, and discretionary bonus restricted share grants or other share-based awards are ordinarily made in February of the year following determination. In addition to discretionary bonus restricted share grants, the compensation committee has the authority to award special restricted share grants to our named executive officers. These awards are made only to certain executives, reflecting exceptional performance, to provide additional retention benefits and performance incentives through additional restricted share ownership. No special restricted shares grants were made to our named executive officers for 2012.

For 2012, except for the formulaic bonus restricted share grants described below, the compensation committee did not set specific corporate or individual performance objectives for the determination of annual bonuses. Rather, the compensation committee considered 2012 corporate performance and the contribution of each individual executive on a more subjective basis in light of traditional financial metrics that the company considers most significant. Those metrics include total revenue, adjusted net income (as described above), total amount invested in new equipment, and average utilization for the fleet (excluding assets held for sale and new units at the factory). An evaluation of these metrics showed that the company performed exceptionally well in 2012 on a year-over-year basis. Revenue increased 17% to $198.9 million. Adjusted net income increased 17% to $51.5 million. Total amount invested in new equipment in 2012 reached $410.2 million. In addition, average utilization of the fleet continued to be strong in 2012 with average fourth quarter utilization of 97.8%. The compensation committee also considered the company’s successful achievement of a variety of strategic initiatives, including ensuring the availability of low cost, long-term financing for equipment purchases, entering into profitable long-term leases with creditworthy customers, and maintaining steady and consistent cash flows under all market conditions. Based on the company’s year-over-year performance, as well as the successful procurement of additional capital and the achievement of its strategic initiatives, the compensation committee concluded that the company had demonstrated exceptional continued performance during uncertain economic times and that each of the named executive officers contributed to that success. The compensation committee further concluded that Mr. Kwok’s contribution was particularly significant, given his substantial involvement on the marketing side of the business, in the deployment of investment capital that resulted in positive returns, and in generating a high volume of profitable leasing transactions, each of which had a resultant favorable short-term and anticipated long-term impact on revenue, earnings, and cash flow. As a consequence, the compensation committee concluded that Mr. Kwok’s contribution to the company’s success warranted a discretionary cash bonus of $500,000 ($100,000 above the target range set forth in his employment agreement).

The 2012 annual discretionary cash bonuses for our named executive officers (inclusive of the bonus for Mr. Kwok referenced in the preceding paragraph) are as follows:

 

   

Joseph Kwok, $500,000 cash;

 

   

Stephen P. Bishop, $220,000 cash; and

 

   

Lisa D. Leach, $175,000 cash.

Table of Contents

For bonus restricted share grants in respect of 2012 service, the compensation committee determined that 50% of such grants would be discretionary based on the 2012 corporate performance factors described above and 50% of such grants would be formulaic. The formulaic grants were dependent on the Company achieving a performance target of $2.50 of adjusted net income per share for 2012. Adjusted net income is defined as net income before non-cash interest expense related to terminations and modifications of derivative instruments, losses on retirement of debt, fair value adjustments on derivative instruments, loss on swap terminations, write-offs of goodwill and gain on the sale of assets. Adjusted net income is a measure of financial and operational performance that is not defined by U.S. GAAP. For a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to net income (loss), see the section titled “Non-GAAP Measure” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended on December 31, 2012, filed on February 21, 2013. For 2012, the Company achieved an adjusted net income per share of $2.54.

The 2012 discretionary and formulaic bonus restricted share grants vesting ratably over 3 years were awarded in respect of 2012 service on February 13, 2013 as follows: Mr. Kwok: 31,250 shares; Mr. Bishop: 18,750 shares, and Ms. Leach: 10,625 shares.

Dividends. A key component of our compensation program for our named executive officers consists of dividends paid on restricted shares, whether such shares are vested or unvested. Under our 2010 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan, described below in “—Equity Incentive Plan,” restricted shares pay dividends prior to vesting, and because growing our dividends per share over time is an important goal for us, we believe that payment of dividends on vested and unvested shares aligns the interests of our executives with the interests of our shareholders.

Severance Benefits. We have entered into employment agreements with Messrs. Kwok and Bishop, each of which became effective in May 2010 and each of which provides severance benefits in the circumstances described in greater detail below in “—Employment Agreements.” We believe that the severance and change in control benefits contained in these agreements are essential elements of our compensation package for Messrs. Kwok and Bishop and assist us in recruiting and retaining talented executives. Reference is made to the Amalgamation Proxy for changes made to these agreements in connection with the Amalgamation and for the status of an agreement with Ms. Leach executed in 2013.

Other Compensation. All of our named executive officers are eligible to participate in our employee benefit plans, including medical, dental, life insurance and 401(k) plans. These plans are available to all employees and do not discriminate in favor of our named executive officers. Mr. Kwok also received reimbursements for tax advisory services. We do not view perquisites as a significant element of our comprehensive compensation structure.

Equity Incentive Plan

We maintain the SeaCube Container Leasing Ltd. 2010 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) for the purposes of providing additional incentives to selected employees, directors and independent contractors and consultants, including our named executive officers. The Plan provides for the issuance of share options, share appreciation rights, restricted shares, deferred shares, performance shares, unrestricted shares and other share-based awards. While we issue restricted shares and other share-based awards under the Plan to employees as a recruiting and retention tool, we have not established specific parameters regarding grants to our employees. Our compensation committee determines the specific criteria surrounding other equity issuances under the Plan.

Shareholder Votes on Executive Compensation

At our 2011 annual general meeting of shareholders, our shareholders voted to hold an advisory vote on executive compensation every three years. Consistent with that vote, the Board resolved to accept the shareholders’ recommendation.

At our 2011 annual general meeting of shareholders, our shareholders also expressed their support of the Company’s executive compensation programs. Approximately 99% of the votes cast supported our executive compensation policies and practices. The Compensation Committee viewed the vote as a strong expression of our shareholders’ general satisfaction with the Company’s current executive compensation programs. As a result, the Compensation Committee decided that it was not necessary to implement changes to our executive compensation programs as a result of the shareholder advisory vote.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

An annual fee of $50,000, payable in semi-annual installments, is paid to each independent director. In addition, an annual fee of $10,000 is paid to each member of the Audit Committee ($15,000 to the chair) of the Board and an annual fee of $5,000 is paid to each member of the Nominating, Corporate Governance and Conflicts Committee and each member of the Compensation Committee ($10,000 to each chair) of the Board. Fees owed to independent directors may be paid by issuance of our common shares, based on the value of the common shares at the date of issuance, rather than in cash, so long as the issuance does not prevent the director from qualifying as an independent director and the shares are either granted pursuant to a shareholder-approved plan or the issuance is

otherwise exempt from NYSE listing requirements. Affiliated directors (i.e., Messrs. Adams, Atkeson, and Kwok), however, are not separately compensated by us. All members of the Board are reimbursed for reasonable costs and expenses incurred in attending meetings of our Board.

Messrs. Goodwin, Hacker and Hamm and Mr. Tuchman were granted a number of restricted common shares on October 28, 2010 and March 15, 2011, respectively, equal in value to $300,000, based on the fair market value of our Common Shares on the date of grant. These restricted shares vest in three equal portions on June 30 of each of 2011, 2012 and 2013, in respect of Messrs. Goodwin, Hacker and Hamm, and 2012, 2013 and 2014 in respect of Mr. Tuchman, provided the director is still serving as of the applicable vesting date. The directors holding these restricted shares will be entitled to any dividends that become payable on such shares during the restricted period.

Employment Agreements, Restricted Share Exchange Agreements and Bonus Restricted Share Agreements

Employment Agreements

We have entered into employment agreements with Messrs. Kwok and Bishop, each of which became effective in May 2010. CLI is also a party to these employment agreements. We were not party to an employment agreement with Ms. Leach during 2012. Reference is made to the Amalgamation Proxy for changes made to these agreements in connection with the Amalgamation and for the status of an agreement with Ms. Leach executed in 2013. The following discussion relates solely to the agreements with Messrs. Kwok and Bishop, in each case without regard to any changes made in connection with the Amalgamation.

 

10


Table of Contents

Each employment agreement provides for payment of a specified base salary and a discretionary annual bonus, based on the achievement of performance targets established each year by our compensation committee. Up to one-half of the discretionary annual bonus may be paid, in our sole discretion, in restricted shares of our common shares subject to vesting over a three-year period. Each employment agreement also entitles the named executive officer to participate in employee benefit plans and programs maintained for our employees generally.

Each employment agreement provides that the named executive officer is employed at will. Each employment agreement provides that upon termination of the named executive officer’s employment by us without “cause” or by the named executive officer for “good reason” (each as defined in the applicable employment agreement and which, in the case of “good reason,” includes certain reductions in title or base salary and certain relocations of the principal work location), the named executive officer is entitled to receive severance payments equal to one year of the executive’s then-current base salary, paid in equal installments over the one-year period following the executive’s termination. Receipt of this severance is conditioned on the named executive officer providing a general release of claims in a form satisfactory to CLI and us. In addition, each agreement provides that if any payment or benefit received by the named executive officer in connection with a “change in control” of SeaCube, whether received pursuant to the employment agreement or otherwise, would become subject to the excise tax imposed by Internal Revenue Code Section 280G, then such payment or benefit will be reduced (if necessary, to zero) to the extent necessary to avoid the excise tax.

Each employment agreement provides that the named executive officer will not compete with us or any of our affiliates or solicit our employees, suppliers or customers or any of our affiliates for twelve months following the termination of the named executive officer’s employment for any reason or no reason.

Mr. Kwok also entered into a separate employment agreement with Seacastle Ships Holdings, Inc. (“Ships”) in May 2010, pursuant to which he serves as an executive Chairman of Ships. Mr. Kwok is separately compensated by Ships, and may not devote more than 20% of his working time to his duties at Ships.

Restricted Share Exchange Agreements

In April 2010, Mr. Bishop entered into an agreement pursuant to which his existing unvested restricted shares of Seacastle common stock were exchanged into restricted shares of our common shares.

The restricted shares of Seacastle common stock originally granted to Mr. Bishop were subject to vesting in equal installments over a five-year period following the grant date. The exchange agreement with Mr. Bishop provides that our restricted common shares will vest on the same dates that the restricted shares of Seacastle common stock would have vested, generally subject to his continued employment with CLI and its affiliates through the applicable vesting date. Mr. Bishop’s restricted shares of Seacastle common stock were granted in March 2010 and the exchanged restricted common shares vest in equal installments over five years starting on January 1, 2011.

The restricted share exchange agreement with Mr. Bishop provides that upon termination of his employment either by CLI and its affiliates without “cause” or by Mr. Bishop for “good reason” (each as defined in the exchange agreement, and in the case of “good reason,” generally the same as described above in “—Employment Agreements”), subject to him providing a general release of claims, our restricted common shares scheduled to vest on the next regular vesting date will immediately vest in full. In the event of a termination of Mr. Bishop’s employment without “cause” or for “good reason” within twelve months following a “change of control”, all remaining restricted common shares held by Mr. Bishop will immediately vest in full.

The exchange agreement with Mr. Bishop provides that if Mr. Bishop breaches any of the restrictive covenants contained in his employment agreement (see “—Employment Agreements”) or any other agreement, all of his then unvested exchanged restricted common shares will be forfeited. Reference is made to the Amalgamation Proxy for the treatment of the exchanged restricted common shares in connection with the Amalgamation.

Bonus Restricted Share Agreements

In February 2011, Messrs. Kwok and Bishop and Ms. Leach entered into restricted share agreements with respect to restricted shares in the amounts of 31,250, 18,750 and 8,125 shares, respectively, in respect of annual discretionary bonuses in respect of performance in 2010. In February 2012, Messrs. Kwok and Bishop and Ms. Leach entered into restricted share agreements with

Table of Contents

respect to restricted shares in the amounts of 31,250,18,750 and 8,124 shares, respectively, in respect of annual discretionary bonuses in respect of performance in 2011. In February 2013, Messrs. Kwok and Bishop and Ms. Leach entered into restricted share agreements with respect to restricted shares in the amounts of 31,250,18,750 and 10,625 shares, respectively, in respect of annual discretionary and formulaic bonuses in respect of performance in 2012. The restricted shares are subject to vesting in equal installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the date of grant.

The restricted share agreements provide that upon a termination of the named executive officer’s employment either by CLI and its affiliates without “cause” or by the named executive officer for “good reason” (each as defined in the applicable restricted share agreement), subject to the named executive officer providing a general release of claims, the restricted common shares scheduled to vest on the next regular vesting date will immediately vest in full. The restricted share agreements also provide that if the named executive officer’s employment is terminated without “cause” or, in the case of Messrs. Kwok and Bishop, for “good reason”, each within 12 months after a change in control, all unvested restricted common shares will immediately vest as of the date of such termination. In the case of Messrs. Kwok and Bishop, the agreements also contain a one year post-termination non-competition covenant. In the case of Ms. Leach, the agreement contains a one-year post-termination non-competition covenant if the termination is for “cause” and a six-month post-termination non-competition covenant if the termination is without “cause.” Reference is made to the Amalgamation Proxy for the treatment of the restricted common shares in connection with the Amalgamation.

Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year End for 2012

The following table summarizes share-based compensation awards outstanding as of December 31, 2012 for each of our named executive officers. The market value of the restricted common shares is based on the closing market price of our common shares as of December 31, 2012, which was $18.85.

Termination, Severance and Change of Control Arrangements

The tables below set forth the potential severance and change in control payments for each of our named executive officers. All payments are contingent on the named executive officer’s termination of employment and/or the identified triggering events and represent payments that the named executive officer would have received under the employment agreements and equity arrangements described above in “—Employment Agreements, Restricted Share Exchange Agreements and Bonus Restricted Share Agreements” had the named executive officer’s employment been terminated on December 31, 2012. The amounts set forth in the tables below may be reduced by the Internal Revenue Code Section 280G cap on compensation, as described above in “—Employment Agreements.”

As noted above in “—Amalgamation,” certain changes were made to the elements of our compensation program in 2013 in connection with the Amalgamation, including changes to the severance and change in control benefits payable to each of our named executive officers.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

The following is a summary of material provisions of various transactions we have entered into with our executive officers, directors (including nominees), 5% or greater shareholders and any of their immediate family members since January 1, 2012. We believe the terms and conditions set forth in such agreements are reasonable and customary for transactions of this type.

Our Formation/Original Capital Investment

We were incorporated by Seacastle Operating Company Ltd. (the “Initial Shareholder” or “Seacastle Operating”) in Bermuda in March 2010. Our Initial Shareholder is a subsidiary of Seacastle Inc. (“Seacastle”). Seacastle is owned by private equity funds that are managed by an affiliate of Fortress and by employees of Seacastle and other shareholders. Joseph P. Adams, Jr., a member of our board of directors, is a Managing Director of Fortress, and Jonathan G. Atkeson, also a member of our board of directors, is a Managing Director of Fortress Capital Finance, an affiliate of Fortress.

In April 2010, our named executive officers exchanged an aggregate of 532,980 shares of Seacastle common stock for 307,969 of our Common Shares. See “Historical Compensation of Our Named Executive Officers—Restricted Share Exchange Agreements” for a description of the restricted share exchange agreements entered into with Ms. Leach and Mr. Bishop.

Shareholders Agreement

General

In connection with our initial public offering (“IPO”), we entered into a shareholders agreement (the “Shareholders Agreement”) with our Initial Shareholder.

As discussed further below, the Shareholders Agreement provides certain rights to the Initial Shareholder with respect to the designation of directors for nomination and election to as well as removal from our Board, as well as registration rights for certain of our securities owned by the Initial Shareholder, certain other affiliates of Fortress and permitted transferees (collectively, the “Fortress Shareholders”).

Our Shareholders Agreement provides that the parties thereto will use their respective reasonable efforts (including voting or causing to be voted all of our voting shares beneficially owned by each) so that no amendment is made to our memorandum of association or bye-laws in effect as of the date of the Shareholders Agreement that would add restrictions to the transferability of our shares by the Initial Shareholder or its permitted transferees which are beyond those provided for in our memorandum of association, bye-laws, the Shareholders Agreement or applicable securities laws, or that nullify the rights set out in the Shareholders Agreement of the Initial Shareholder or its permitted transferees unless such amendment is approved by the Initial Shareholder.

Designation and Election of Directors

The Shareholders Agreement provides that, for so long as the Shareholders Agreement is in effect, we and the Fortress Shareholders shall take all reasonable actions within our respective control (including voting or causing to be voted all of the securities entitled to vote generally in the election of our directors held of record or beneficially owned by the Fortress Shareholders, and, with respect to the Company, including in the slate of nominees recommended by the Board those individuals designated by Fortress) so as to elect to the Board, and to cause to continue in office, not more than seven directors (or such other number as Fortress may agree in writing), of whom, at any given time:

 

   

at least a majority of such directors shall be individuals designated by Fortress, for so long as the Fortress Shareholders beneficially own at least 40% of the voting power of the Company;

 

   

at least three directors (four if the board consists of more than seven directors) shall be individuals designated by Fortress, for so long as the Fortress Shareholders beneficially own less than 40% but at least 20% of the voting power of the Company;

Table of Contents
   

at least two directors (three if the board consists of more than seven directors) shall be individuals designated by Fortress, for so long as the Fortress Shareholders beneficially own less than 20% but at least 10% of the voting power of the Company; and

 

   

at least one director shall be an individual designated by Fortress, for so long as the Fortress Shareholders beneficially own less than 10% but at least 5% of the voting power of the Company.

In accordance with the Shareholders Agreement, Fortress designated Paul R. Goodwin, Douglas A. Hacker, Donald P. Hamm and Martin Tuchman for election to our Board.

Registration Rights

Demand Rights. Under our Shareholders Agreement, the Fortress Shareholders will have, for so long as the Fortress Shareholders beneficially own an amount of our Common Shares (whether owned at the time of our IPO or subsequently acquired) equal to or greater than 1% of our Common Shares issued and outstanding immediately after the IPO (a “Registrable Amount”), “demand” registration rights that allow the Fortress Shareholders, at any time after 180 days following the IPO, to request that we register under the Securities Act an amount equal to or greater than a Registrable Amount. The Fortress Shareholders will be entitled to unlimited demand registrations so long as such persons, together, beneficially own a Registrable Amount, subject to certain postponement mechanisms of the Company described therein relating to disclosures in the public offering document that would be detrimental to us or our shareholders. We are also not required to effect any demand registration within three months of a “firm commitment” underwritten offering to which the requestor held “piggyback” rights, described below, and which included at least 50% of the Common Shares requested by the requestor to be included.

Piggyback Rights. For so long as the Fortress Shareholders beneficially own an amount of our Common Shares equal to or greater than a Registrable Amount, such Fortress Shareholders will also have “piggyback” registration rights that allow them to include the Common Shares that they own in any public offering of equity securities initiated by us (other than those public offerings pursuant to registration statements on Forms S-4 or S-8) or by any of our other shareholders that have registration rights. The “piggyback” registration rights of the Fortress Shareholders are subject to proportional cutbacks based on the manner of the offering and the identity of the party initiating such offering.

Shelf Registration. Under our Shareholders Agreement, we have granted to the Initial Shareholder or any of its respective permitted transferees, for so long as it beneficially owns a Registrable Amount, the right to request a shelf registration on Form S-3 providing for offerings of our Common Shares to be made on a continuous basis until all shares covered by such registration have been sold, subject to our right to suspend the use of the shelf registration prospectuses for a reasonable period of time (not exceeding 60 days in succession or 90 days in the aggregate in any 12 month period) if we determine that certain disclosures required by the shelf registration statements would be detrimental to us or our shareholders.

Indemnification; Expenses. Under our Shareholders Agreement, we will agree to indemnify the applicable selling shareholder and its officers, directors, employees, managers, members partners, agents and controlling persons against any losses or damages resulting from any untrue statement or omission of material fact in any registration statement or prospectus pursuant to which it sells Common Shares, unless such liability arose from the applicable selling shareholder’s misstatement or omission, and the applicable selling shareholder or selling shareholders (severally and not jointly) has agreed to indemnify us against all losses caused by its misstatements or omissions. We will pay all registration expenses incidental to our performance under the Shareholders Agreement, and the applicable selling shareholder will pay its portion of all underwriting discounts, commissions and transfer taxes, if any, relating to the sale of its Common Shares under the Shareholders Agreement.

Management and Facility Fees

We paid facility fees of approximately $0.1 million to certain affiliates of Seacastle in 2012. During 2012, the Company entered into an agreement to provide management services on container equipment that is owned in part by private equity funds that are managed by an affiliate of Fortress Investment Group LLC. Management revenue earned from this agreement was $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Shareholder Note

On January 27, 2009, the Company distributed a total of $115.8 million to the Initial Shareholder. Of the total, $55.8 million was in the form of a loan and $60.0 million was in the form of a dividend. The loan was in the form of a demand note (the “Shareholder

Table of Contents

Note”) at a stated interest of 4% per annum. As of the date of the Structure Formation, the Shareholder Note had a balance of $94.8 million, consisting of $91.3 million in advanced principal and $3.5 million of accrued interest. Interest income earned from this note was $0.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. The obligations under this Shareholder Note were assumed by SeaCube Operating Company Ltd, in connection with the Structure Formation. The assumption was treated as a non-cash equity distribution to Seacastle Operating. In connection with the assumption, Seacastle Operating entered into a guarantee of the obligations of SeaCube Operating Company Ltd. under the Shareholder Note. No consideration has been or will be paid by the Initial Shareholder to SeaCube Operating Company Ltd. in exchange for the assumption of the Shareholder Note.

In August 2010, the Company distributed $3.8 million to the Initial Shareholder in the form of a loan which was used to make interest and principal payments on Seacastle’s Credit Facility. In September 2010, the Company distributed $4.4 million to the Initial Shareholder in the form of a loan which was used to make interest and principal payments and pay fees on Seacastle’s Credit Facility. The loans have an annual interest rate of 3% and were payable in full upon maturity in 2015. On December 10, 2012, the initial shareholder repaid the loan in full, inclusive of interest of $0.6 million. Interest income earned from this note was $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Related Party Transaction Review Process

Pursuant to our written policies and procedures with respect to transactions with persons related to us (referred to as “Related Party Transactions”), a Related Party Transaction may only be taken by us if the following steps are taken:

 

   

Prior to entering into a Related Party Transaction, the party wishing to enter into the proposed transaction must provide notice to our legal department of the facts and circumstances of the proposed transaction.

 

   

Our legal department will assess whether the proposed transaction is a Related Party Transaction.

 

   

If our legal department determines that the proposed transaction is a Related Party Transaction and unless such Related Party Transaction is required to be approved by our Board under any agreement we may enter into from time to time, the proposed transaction will be submitted to our Nominating, Corporate Governance and Conflicts Committee for consideration at its next meeting or, in those instances in which our legal department, in consultation with our Chief Financial Officer, determines that it is not practicable or desirable to wait until the next meeting, to the Chair of the Nominating, Corporate Governance and Conflicts Committee.

 

   

The Nominating, Corporate Governance and Conflicts Committee, or where submitted to the chairperson of that committee, the chairperson, shall consider all of the relevant facts and circumstances available, including (if applicable): the benefits to us; the impact on a director’s independence in the event the related party is a director, an immediate family member of a director or an entity in which a director is a partner, shareholder or executive officer; the availability of other sources for comparable products or services; the terms of the transaction; and the terms available to unrelated third parties or to employees generally. Only those Related Party Transactions that are in, or are not inconsistent with, our best interests and those of our shareholders, may be approved.

DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

The Board has determined that Messrs. Goodwin, Hacker, Hamm and Tuchman are “independent” as defined in the listing standards of the NYSE. In making this determination, the Board considered all the relevant facts and circumstances, including the “independence” standards set in the rules of the NYSE. In doing so the Board affirmatively determined that none of the independent directors, or any of their family members, has had any material relationship with the Company (either directly, or as a partner, shareholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with the Company), other than as a shareholder and director, within the last three years. All members of our Audit Committee, or Compensation Committee and our Nominating, Corporate Governance and Conflicts Committee also have been determined to meet all applicable independence standards.

Item 14. Principal Accounting Fees and Services.

The Audit Committee Charter, as well as Section 301 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, Rule 10A-3(b)(2) under the Exchange Act and the related NYSE listing standards, each require that the audit committee shall be directly responsible for the appointment and retention of any registered public accounting firm engaged for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or performing other

audit, review or attestation services for the listed issuer. Ernst & Young LLP, independent registered public accounting firm (“E&Y”) (which constitutes the auditor for the purpose of Bermuda law), was the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for 2012. Before selecting E&Y, the Audit Committee carefully considered E&Y’s qualifications as the registered public accounting firm for the Company. This included a review of its performance in prior years, as well as its reputation for integrity and competence in the fields of accounting and auditing. The committee has expressed its satisfaction with E&Y in all of these respects. The committee’s review included inquiry concerning any litigation involving E&Y and any proceedings by the SEC against the firm. In this respect, the committee has concluded that the ability of E&Y to perform services for the Company is in no way adversely affected by any such investigation or litigation.

The Audit Committee also oversees the work of E&Y, and E&Y reports directly to the Audit Committee in this regard. The Audit Committee also reviews and approves E&Y’s annual engagement letter, including the proposed fees, and determines or sets the policy regarding all audit, and all permitted non-audit, engagements and relationships between the Company and E&Y. The Audit Committee also reviews and discusses with E&Y their annual audit plan, including the timing and scope of audit activities, and monitors the progress and results of the plan during the year.

Fees Paid to Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

E&Y served as the Independent Auditors for the Company in the year ended December 31, 2012. Approximate fees paid to E&Y were as follows:

Audit Fees

Audit fees for professional services rendered in connection with the audit of our annual financial statements, reviews of our quarterly financial statements, and statutory audits of foreign subsidiaries were $0.9 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, $0.8 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 and $2.4 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.

Audit Related Fees

Professional services rendered in connection with financing transactions were $0.1 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, $0.2 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 and $0.0 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.

Tax Fees

Fees for tax compliance services of a subsidiary were $3,500 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.

All Other Fees

None.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

The Audit Committee has policies and procedures that require the pre-approval by the Audit Committee or one of its members of all services performed by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and related fee arrangements. In the early part of each year, the Audit Committee approves the proposed services, including the nature, type and scope of services contemplated, and the related fees, to be rendered by these firms during the year. In addition, pre-approval by the Audit Committee or one of its members is also required for those engagements that may arise during the course of the year that are outside the scope of the initial services and fees pre-approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The fees and services provided as noted above were authorized and approved by the Audit Committee.

Of the fees set forth above, none of the “Audit-Related Fees,” none of the “Tax Fees” and none of the “All Other Fees” were approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to SEC Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) of Regulation S-X. This rule provides that the pre-approval requirement is waived, with respect to fees for services other than audit, review or attest services, if (i) the aggregate amount of all such services provided constitutes no more than five percent of the total amount of revenues paid by the Company to E&Y during the fiscal year in which the services are provided; (ii) such services were not recognized by the Company at the time of the engagement to be non-audit services; and (iii) such services are promptly brought to the attention of the Audit Committee and approved prior to the completion of the audit by the Audit Committee or by one or more members of the Audit Committee who are members of the Board to whom authority to grant such approvals has been delegated by the Audit Committee.
