Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
 
On August 18, 2005, PLM Equipment Growth Fund V (“Fund V”) completed the sale of its railcar business and related assets to CIT Group Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Purchaser”). As previously reported, the sale was consummated pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of August 4, 2005 (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”), by and among Purchaser, Fund V and several entities affiliated with Fund V (collectively, the “Sellers”), including PLM Rail Partners, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Rail Partners”), an entity in which Fund V has a 23.0% ownership interest. The assets sold to the Purchaser include railcars owned and leased by the Sellers as well as management contracts pursuant to which Sellers manage and lease railcars owned by unaffiliated third parties. Under the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, Purchaser paid Sellers an aggregate gross cash purchase price of approximately $146.9 million, which included the base purchase of $119.8 million and adjustments of $27.1 million primarily consisting of an adjustment for the actual number of railcars cars manufactured and delivered to Sellers in 2005. Of the $146.9 million, Fund V received approximately $12.1 million and Rail Partners received approximately $32.3 million. The amount received by Fund V and Rail Partners was based on the appraised value of the railcars sold by Fund V and Rail Partners to Purchaser, as determined by an independent third party appraiser or for cars manufactured in 2005, the greater of appraised value or cost.
 
 
A copy of the Asset Purchase Agreement is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated in its entirety in this Item 2.01 disclosure by reference. Other than in respect of the Asset Purchase Agreement and the agreements entered into in connection therewith, there are no material relationships between Purchaser and Fund V or any of its affiliates, or any director or officer of Fund V, or any associate of such director or officer.
