Interpool to Increase Dividend Rate in 2007

  
    
  
  
    
      Interpool, Inc. (NYSE: IPX) announced that its Board of Directors has 
      established a new dividend policy for the Company for 2007. Interpool 
      plans to pay a quarterly dividend of $0.25 per share in each quarter of 
      2007, representing an annual dividend rate of $1.00 per share and a 
      substantial increase from the current annual dividend rate of $0.32 per 
      share. The increased dividend rate will begin with the January 2007 
      dividend payment, the record date for which will be set by the Board 
      later in 2006.
    
    
      Martin Tuchman, Interpool's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, 
      commented, "We are very pleased to be able to announce this significant 
      increase in our dividend rate for 2007, which reflects Interpool's solid 
      financial condition and cash resources as well as the strength of our 
      capital structure and our leasing business. As a result of the 
      successful sale of our operating lease container fleet in March 2006, 
      and other transactions we have entered into over the past year, we have 
      significantly reduced our long-term debt so that we are now in a 
      position to sustain a higher dividend rate. This new dividend policy is 
      the most recent in a series of steps our Board has taken to enhance 
      shareholder value."
    
    
      Mr. Tuchman noted that, even with the increased dividend, Interpool 
      plans to continue to make significant investments in new equipment for 
      its active businesses of leasing cargo containers and container chassis 
      to shipping lines and other customers. In addition, he stated that 
      Interpool will continue to be well positioned to take advantage of 
      strategic opportunities that may arise at the parent company level.
    
    
      Interpool is one of the world's leading suppliers of equipment and 
      services to the transportation industry. The company is the world's 
      largest lessor of intermodal container chassis and a world-leading 
      lessor of cargo containers used in international trade.
