<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On April&nbsp;27, 2007, GATX Corporation (&#147;GATX&#148;) announced that its wholly-owned operating
subsidiary, GATX Financial Corporation (&#147;GFC&#148;), will merge into its parent company, GATX. This
action will simplify GATX&#146;s corporate structure and eliminate certain redundancies and costs. All
outstanding debt and other financial obligations of GFC will become the obligations of GATX. This
merger is expected to have no material impact on the financial performance or operations of GATX.
The merger is expected to be completed in the next several weeks.
