Routine $400M senior notes add to existing 2035/2054 series.

GATX issued $200,000,000 of 5.500% notes due 2035 and $200,000,000 of 6.050% notes due 2054 via an underwriting agreement. These notes tap existing series, lifting totals to $700,000,000 (2035) and $900,000,000 (2054). Delivery against payment on October 24, 2025 indicates cash inflow to the issuer.

Because these are fungible reopenings under the 2008 indenture, terms match prior tranches, aiding liquidity in each series. Actual leverage and interest burden effects depend on pricing and net proceeds, which are not detailed in the excerpt.

Key anchors are the stated coupons (5.500%, 6.050%) and maturities (2035, 2054). Subsequent filings may provide use of proceeds and any redemption features.
