LONDON, 24th March 2009 - Beacon Rail Leasing Limited (Beacon Rail), a wholly-owned subsidiary of BTMU Capital Corporation (BTMUCC) has added 18 EMD Class 66 locomotives to its portfolio. The locomotives have been acquired from HSBC Rail (UK) Limited and are all based in continental Europe (Norway, Sweden, Germany and the Netherlands). The new additions will bring the Beacon Rail locomotive portfolio to 51. Beacon Rail is a UK company headquartered in London with an origination office in Rotterdam. The Beacon Rail team consists of 5 industry professionals (4 in London and 1 in Rotterdam), and the existing portfolio now includes 51 locomotives and 50 freight cars on lease to lessees in the UK, Belgium, Norway, Sweden and Germany. Theodore J Gaffney, Executive Vice President of BTMUCC commented, “This further advances our strategic plan of growing our portfolio and investing in the European marketplace in one of our chosen asset classes. We are very happy with our team and are enthusiastic about our ability to meet the needs of the rail market in Europe.” Neil Bennett, Managing Director of Leasing & Origination for Beacon Rail added, “This transaction is further testament to our strategy of increasing our portfolio and growing our market share. These locomotives are a good fit with our existing EMD class 66 fleet and it also adds some excellent new Lessees to our customer base.” Mary Kenny, Chief Executive Officer of HSBC Rail (UK) Limited added “Selling our small portfolio of freight assets based in continental Europe was an important step as part of our strategy to focus on our core UK business.” For additional information please contact: Neil Bennett Managing Director of Leasing & Origination Beacon Rail Leasing Limited rail@beaconrail.com Heather Cline Marketing Communications Coordinator BTMU Capital Corporation hcline@btmucapital.com Jezz Farr Global Head of Media Relations Global Banking and Markets HSBC Bank plc jezzfarr@hsbc.com
