SUPPLEMENT TO THE PROXY STATEMENT DATED MAY 21, 2020
FOR THE 2020 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON JULY 2, 2020
This proxy statement supplement (this “Supplement”), dated June 15, 2020, supplements the definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A (the “Proxy Statement”) of CAI International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”, “we”, “our” or “us”), dated May 21, 2020, furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company for the 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) to be held on Thursday, July 2, 2020, at 10:00 a.m. via online audio webcast at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/CAI2020. Except as specifically amended or supplemented by the information contained in this Supplement, all information set forth in the Proxy Statement continues to apply and should be considered in voting your shares.
On June 15, 2020, the Company announced that it was terminating the previously announced strategic review process, and that the Company intended to implement certain strategic and other changes to its business, including the sale of its rail and logistics businesses, certain management changes and the initiation of future cash dividends. In connection with the management changes, on June 12, 2020, the Board decided to terminate Victor M. Garcia as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, effective immediately. On June 14, 2020, Mr. Garcia resigned from the Board.
On June 12, 2020, the Board promoted Timothy B. Page to Executive Vice President, and Interim President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and on June 14, 2020, following the resignation of Mr. Garcia from the Board, the Board appointed Mr. Page to the Board as a Class I director, each effective immediately. Mr. Page will continue to perform his duties as Chief Financial Officer of the Company in connection with this new role.
As part of the changes announced above, the Board, upon recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, approved a change in the nominations as Class I directors to be elected at the Annual Meeting. This Supplement is being filed to revise the slate of nominees for election as Class I directors by removing Victor M. Garcia, and adding Timothy B. Page to the slate of nominees for election at the Annual Meeting. The Company is also revising its proxy card to reflect the change in the slate of nominees for election at the Annual Meeting, which is enclosed with this Supplement.
IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING THE AVAILABILITY OF PROXY MATERIALS FOR THE 2020 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS TO BE HELD ON JULY 2, 2020. Our Proxy Statement, this Supplement and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 are available at www.proxyvote.com.
The Board of Directors recommends that you vote “FOR” the election of each of the Class I director nominees on the enclosed revised proxy card, or if you own your shares in “street name” through your broker, trustee or other nominee on the revised voting instruction form you receive from the holder of record. The revised proxy card or revised voting instruction form contains the revised slate of nominees as described in this Supplement and differs from the previous proxy card furnished by the Company, in that it does not include Mr. Garcia, but rather includes Mr. Page as a director nominee, as outlined in Proposal No. 1.
Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, you are urged to sign, date and promptly return the revised proxy card or revised voting instruction form, or vote via the Internet or by telephone following the instructions on the revised proxy card or the revised voting instruction form.

1

previous voting instruction form, your vote will no longer be valid. In order to have your vote represented, you must cast your vote by using the revised enclosed proxy card, or by submitting your vote again (i) on the Internet at www.proxyvote.com, (ii) via telephone by calling 1-800-690-6903, or (iii) following the instructions on the revised voting instruction form from your broker, trustee or other nominee.
The time and place of the Annual Meeting have not changed. This Supplement should be read in conjunction with the Proxy Statement and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, as amended, which were previously made available to stockholders.

PROPOSAL NO. 1 — ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
The information set forth under the heading “Proposal No. 1 — Election of Directors” in the Proxy Statement is amended and restated to read in its entirety as set forth below.
Our Board currently consists of six directors, divided into three classes as follows:
Class I Directors: Timothy B. Page and Gary M. Sawka, whose current terms will expire at this Annual Meeting;
Class II Directors: Kathryn G. Jackson and Andrew S. Ogawa, whose current terms will expire at the 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders; and
Class III Directors: David G. Remington and John H. Williford, whose current terms will expire at the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
On June 15, 2020, the Company announced that it was terminating the previously announced strategic review process, and that the Company intended to implement certain strategic and other changes to its business, including the sale of its rail and logistics businesses, certain management changes and the initiation of future cash dividends. In connection with the management changes, on June 12, 2020, the Board decided to terminate Victor M. Garcia as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, effective immediately. On June 14, 2020, Mr. Garcia resigned from the Board.
On June 12, 2020, the Board promoted Timothy B. Page to Executive Vice President, and Interim President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and on June 14, 2020, following the resignation of Mr. Garcia from the Board, the Board appointed Mr. Page to the Board as a Class I director, each effective immediately. Mr. Page will continue to perform his duties as Chief Financial Officer of the Company in connection with this new role.
Timothy B. Page and Gary M. Sawka have been nominated by the Board, upon recommendation of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, for election as Class I directors at the Annual Meeting, to serve until the 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, or until the death, resignation or removal of such director. Victor M. Garcia is not being re-nominated to the Board as a result of this separation from the Company.
Proxies will be voted in favor of Messrs. Page and Sawka unless the stockholder indicates otherwise on the proxy. Messrs. Page and Sawka have each consented to being named as nominees in this proxy statement and have agreed to serve if elected. The Board expects that each of the nominees will be able to serve, but if either nominee becomes unable to serve at the time the election occurs, proxies will be voted for another nominee designated by the Board unless the Board chooses to reduce the number of directors serving on the Board.
There are no arrangements or understandings between any director or executive officer and any other person pursuant to which he is or was to be selected as a director or officer of CAI. There are no family relationships among our executive officers and directors.
Below sets forth information concerning each member of our Board:

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRINCIPLES AND BOARD MATTERS
The following amends and restates the information under the headings “Board Independence” and “Board Leadership Structure” in the Corporate Governance Principles and Board Matters section of the Proxy Statement.
Board Independence
The Board has reviewed the relationships between CAI and each of its directors. The Board has determined that none of our current directors, except Timothy B. Page, our Executive Vice President, and Interim President and Chief Executive Officer, has a material relationship with us (either directly, through a family member or as a partner, officer or stockholder of any organization that has a relationship with us), and each director, other than Mr. Page, is independent within the meaning of our director independence standards, which reflect the NYSE director independence standards and listing requirements. Our independence standards are available in the “Documents & Charters” portion of the Investors section of our website at www.capps.com and a copy of such standards will be provided to any stockholder upon request to us in writing at CAI International, Inc., Attn: Investor Relations, Steuart Tower, 1 Market Plaza, Suite 2400, San Francisco, CA 94105, or by telephone at (415) 788-0100.
Board Leadership Structure
We do not have a policy regarding separation of the roles of Chief Executive Officer and Chairperson of the Board. The Board believes it is in our best interests to make that determination based on current circumstances. Mr. Remington currently serves as the Chairman of the Board and Mr. Page serves as our Executive Vice President, and Interim President and Chief Executive Officer. We believe that having a separate Chairman and principal executive officer is appropriate and in our best interests at this time given the current characteristics of our management. Mr. Remington has been a director since 2010 and is intimately familiar with our business and industry, and highly capable of effectively identifying strategic priorities, overseeing risk management, leading Board discussions and defining various key strategic objectives. Mr. Page, as our Executive Vice President, and Interim President and Chief Executive Officer, is the individual selected by the Board to manage us on a day-to-day basis, and his direct involvement in our operations allows him to provide valuable insights with respect to strategic planning and the operational requirements to meet our short- and long-term objectives. Our independent directors also bring experience, oversight and expertise from outside the Company and industry.
