4.0% Secured Notes Series UIC-05A due 2014

On March 1, 2011, the Company and the Trustee entered the Third Supplemental Indenture to the Base Indenture (the “Series UIC-05A Third Supplemental Indenture”), and the Company, the Trustee and U-Haul Leasing & Sales Co. entered a Pledge and Security Agreement (the “Series UIC-05A Security Agreement”).  In connection with the foregoing, the Company issued $100,000 in aggregate principal amount of 4.0% Secured Notes Series UIC-05A due 2014 (the “Series UIC-05A Notes”) in a public offering.  Investors in the Series UIC-05A Notes must first join the U-Haul Investors Club.   The Company received approximately $7,900.00 in net cash proceeds from the offering, and intends to use the proceeds to reimburse its subsidiaries and affiliates for the cost of production of specified U-Haul™ AV Trailers (the “Collateral”) and for other general corporate purposes.

The Series UIC-05A Notes bear interest at the rate of 4.0% per year and are fully amortizing over the term.  Principal and interest on the Notes will be credited to each holder’s U-Haul Investors Club account on a quarterly basis in arrears throughout the term, commencing on June 2, 2011. The Series UIC-05A notes mature on June 2, 2014.  The Series UIC-05A Third Supplemental Indenture and the Series UIC-05A Security Agreement contain covenants requiring the maintenance of a first-priority lien on the Collateral and a prohibition of additional liens on the Collateral.  The Notes are not guaranteed by any subsidiary of the Company, and therefore are effectively subordinated to all of the existing and future claims of creditors of each of the Company’s subsidiaries.

The Series UIC-05A Notes were offered and sold pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-169832) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a prospectus supplement, dated February 14, 2011, together with the accompanying prospectus, dated October 7, 2010, relating to the offering and sale of the Series UIC-05A Notes.

For a complete description of the terms and conditions of the Series UIC-05A Third Supplemental Indenture and the Series UIC-05A Security Agreement, please refer to the Series UIC-05A Third Supplemental Indenture and the Series UIC-05A Security Agreement, each of which is incorporated herein by reference and attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 4.1.

A copy of the opinion and consent of Jennifer M. Settles, Secretary of the Company, as to the validity of the Series UIC-05A Notes is incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-169832) and filed as Exhibit 5.1 hereto.
