Item 8.01 | Other Events. |
As previously disclosed, on March 1, 2020, WillScot Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), Mobile Mini, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Mobile Mini"), and Picasso Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("Merger Sub"), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") pursuant to which, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain customary closing conditions, Merger Sub will be merged with and into Mobile Mini, with Mobile Mini surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the "Merger"). As of the effective time of the Merger, WillScot is expected to be renamed (the "Combined Company"). The closing of the Merger is subject to customary closing conditions. The Merger is expected to close in the third quarter of 2020.
This Current Report on Form 8-K is being filed to provide certain historical financial statements of Mobile Mini and certain pro forma financial information giving effect to the consummation of the Merger, as set forth under Item 9.01 below, which are incorporated herein by reference, so that such financial information is incorporated by reference into the Company's resale registration statements on Form S-3 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
The Company is also supplementing the risk factors described in Item 1A "Risk Factors" of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (our "2019 Form 10-K") with the following risk factor. References to "we," "us," "our," "WillScot," or "the Company" are to WillScot Corporation:
Declining general economic or business conditions, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, may have a negative impact on the businesses of WillScot, Mobile Mini and the Combined Company.
Continuing concerns over economic and business prospects in the U.S. and around the world have contributed to increased volatility and diminished expectations for the global economy. These factors, coupled with the prospect of decreased business and consumer confidence and increased unemployment resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, may precipitate an economic slowdown and recession. If the economic climate deteriorates, the businesses of WillScot, Mobile Mini and the Combined Company, including each company's ability to continue to grow its business organically or through additional acquisitions and integration of acquired businesses, as well as the financial condition of customers, suppliers and lenders, could be adversely affected, resulting in a negative impact on the business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of each of WillScot, Mobile Mini and the Combined Company.
Included in this filing as Exhibit 99.1 are the historical audited consolidated statements of Mobile Mini. For additional information about Mobile Mini, see Mobile Mini's annual report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 3, 2020 (the "Mobile Mini 10-K"). Except as expressly provided herein, the information included in the Mobile Mini 10-K shall not be deemed included or incorporated by reference in this Current Report on Form 8-K.
Included in this filing as Exhibit 99.2 is the pro forma financial information described in Item 9.01(b) below, giving effect to the Merger.
Forward-Looking Statements
This report contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that are subject to risks and uncertainties and are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The words “estimates,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “forecasts,” “projects,” “plans,” “intends,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “shall,” “continue,” “outlook” and variations of these words and similar expressions (or the negative thereof) identify forward-looking statements, which are generally not historical in nature. Certain of these forward-looking statements relate to the proposed business combination (the “Proposed Transaction”) involving WillScot and Mobile Mini, including: expected scale; operating efficiency; stockholder, employee and customer benefits; key assumptions; timing of closing; the amount and timing of revenue and expense synergies; future financial benefits and operating results; and integration spend, which reflects management’s beliefs, expectations and objectives as of the date hereof. Achievement of the expressed beliefs, expectations and objectives is subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those beliefs, expectations or objectives. These forward-looking statements are only estimates, assumptions and projections, and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the control of WillScot and Mobile Mini.
Important Proposed Transaction-related factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: the risk that expected revenue, expense and other synergies from the Proposed Transaction may not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected; the parties are unable to successfully implement their integration strategies; the inherent uncertainty associated with financial or other projections; failure of the parties to satisfy the closing conditions in the merger agreement in a timely manner or at all, including stockholder and regulatory approvals; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the merger agreement; the possibility that the Proposed Transaction may be more expensive to complete than anticipated, including as a result of unexpected factors or events; and disruptions to the parties’ businesses and financial condition as a result of the announcement and pendency of the Proposed Transaction. Other important factors include: the parties’ ability to manage growth and execute their business plan; their estimates of the size of the markets for their products; the rate and degree of market acceptance of their products; the success of other competing modular space and portable storage solutions that exist or may become available; rising costs adversely affecting their profitability (including cost increases resulting from tariffs); general economic and market conditions impacting demand for their products and services; the value of WillScot shares to be issued in the Proposed Transaction; the parties’ capital structure, levels of indebtedness and availability of credit; expected financing transactions undertaken in connection with the Proposed Transaction; third party contracts containing consent and/or other provisions that may be triggered by the Proposed Transaction; the ability to retain and hire key personnel and uncertainties arising from leadership changes; the response of business partners as a result of the announcement and pendency of the Proposed Transaction; the diversion of management attention from business operations to the Proposed Transaction; the ability to implement and maintain an effective system of internal controls; potential litigation and regulatory matters involving the Combined Company; implementation of tax reform; the intended qualification of the Proposed Transaction as a tax-free reorganization; the changes in political conditions in the U.S. and other countries in which the parties operate, including U.S. trade policies or the U.K.’s withdrawal from the European Union; and such other risks and uncertainties described in the periodic reports WillScot and Mobile Mini file with the SEC from time to time including WillScot’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, which was filed with the SEC on March 2, 2020, and Mobile Mini’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, which was filed with the SEC on February 3, 2020, each of which are or will be available through the SEC’s EDGAR system at www.sec.gov.
Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements as the information in this report speaks only as of the date hereof or such earlier date as specified herein. WillScot and Mobile Mini disclaim any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. Investors should not assume that any lack of update to a previously issued “forward-looking statement” constitutes a reaffirmation of that statement. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to WillScot, Mobile Mini or any person acting on behalf of either party are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements referenced above.

Exhibit 99.2
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared to reflect adjustments to the financial condition and results of operations of WillScot to give effect to the following items:
i. | the estimated effects of the Merger of Mobile Mini with and into Merger Sub, one of WillScot’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, inclusive of the estimated effects of debt assumed and debt repaid; and |
ii. | the estimated extinguishment of WillScot’s existing ABL Facility and a contemporaneous arrangement to enter into the New ABL Facility, with an increased commitment (collectively, with the Merger, the “Transactions”). |
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is based on the historical financial statements of WillScot and Mobile Mini described below. In preparing the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2019, certain reclassifications were made to the reported financial information of Mobile Mini to conform to the reporting classifications of WillScot.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2019 and the unaudited pro forma condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 are based on, derived from, and should be read in conjunction with, WillScot’s historical audited financial statements as set forth in WillScot’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “WillScot 10-K”), incorporated by reference into this joint proxy statement/prospectus. The aforementioned pro forma financial statements are also based on, derived from, and reclassified from Mobile Mini’s historical audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 and should be read in conjunction with Mobile Mini’s historical audited financial statements as set forth in Mobile Mini’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Mobile Mini 10-K”), incorporated by reference into this joint proxy statement/prospectus.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2019 assumes that the Transactions occurred on January 1, 2019. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 assumes that the Transactions occurred on December 31, 2019. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared by WillScot and Mobile Mini management for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the combined financial position or results of operations that would have been realized had the Transactions occurred as of the dates indicated, nor is it meant to be indicative of any anticipated combined financial position or future results of operations of the Combined Company. In addition, the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations do not include any expected cost savings or restructuring actions which may be achievable or which may occur subsequent to the Transactions. Furthermore, the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations also does not include the impact of any non-recurring activity and one-time transaction related costs. The historical combined financial information has been adjusted in the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements to give effect to pro forma events that are (1) directly attributable to the Transactions related thereto, (2) factually supportable and (3) with respect to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations, are expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results.
The Merger has been accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting under the provisions of Accounting Standard Codification No. 805, “Business Combinations,” (“ASC 805”) and applying the pro forma assumptions and adjustments described in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. Under ASC 805, WillScot values assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination at their fair values as of the acquisition date. Fair value measurements can be highly subjective and the reasonable application of measurement principles may result in a range of alternative estimates using the same facts and circumstances. The process for estimating the fair values of identifiable intangible assets and certain tangible assets requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions by management, including estimating future cash flows, and developing appropriate discount rates. Under ASC 805, transaction costs are not included as a component of consideration transferred, and are expensed as incurred. The final valuation is expected to be completed as soon as practicable but no later than one year after the consummation of the Merger. The assignment of purchase price to assets acquired and liabilities assumed is subject to completion of the final analysis of the fair value of the assets and liabilities of Mobile Mini as of the effective date of the Merger. Accordingly, the assignment of purchase price in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements is preliminary and adjustments could be material. The fair values assigned to the assets to be acquired and liabilities to be assumed are based on reasonable estimates and assumptions developed using currently available data.

1. Mobile Mini Merger
On March 1, 2020, WillScot, Mobile Mini and Merger Sub, entered into the Merger Agreement, pursuant to which, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain customary closing conditions, Merger Sub will be merged with and into Mobile Mini, with Mobile Mini surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of WillScot. In connection with the Merger, each share of Mobile Mini Common Stock, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares held by Mobile Mini as treasury shares or owned by a subsidiary of Mobile Mini), will be converted into the right to receive 2.4050 shares of WillScot Class A Common Stock (the “Merger Consideration”). Immediately thereafter, as contemplated by the Merger Agreement and upon the filing of the A&R Charter with the Secretary of State of the state of Delaware at the Effective Time, all outstanding shares of WillScot Class A Common Stock will be reclassified as and converted into shares of Combined Company Common Stock.
Furthermore, each outstanding and unexercised option to purchase shares of Mobile Mini Common Stock will be assumed by the Combined Company and become an option to purchase shares of Combined Company Common Stock, on the same terms and conditions as applied to each such option immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that (A) the number of shares of Combined Company Common Stock subject to such option will equal the product of (i) the number of shares of Mobile Mini Common Stock that were subject to such option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (ii) 2.4050, rounded down to the nearest whole share, and (B) the per-share exercise price will equal the quotient of (i) the exercise price per share of Mobile Mini Common Stock at which such option was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time, divided by (ii) 2.4050, rounded up to the nearest whole cent.
In connection with the Merger, on March 1, 2020, WillScot also entered into a commitment letter pursuant to which certain financial institutions committed to provide the New ABL Facility in an aggregate principal amount of $2.4 billion. The proceeds of the New ABL Facility will be available to (i) refinance the existing ABL credit agreements of WillScot and Mobile Mini, (ii) to redeem the existing Mobile Mini 2024 Notes, and (iii) pay the fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Transactions, subject to customary conditions.
The following table summarizes the components of the estimated total purchase price included in the pro forma condensed combined financial statements as if the Merger had been completed on December 31, 2019:
In thousands, except share and per share amounts | ||||
Mobile Mini common stock outstanding | 44,384,402 | |||
Share conversion ratio (per Mobile Mini share) | 2.4050 | |||
Estimated total WillScot common stock to be issued | 106,744,487 | |||
WillScot common stock per share price as of April 13, 2020 | $ | 10.07 | ||
Fair value of shares of WillScot common stock issued | $ | 1,074,917 | ||
Fair value of Mobile Mini Options converted to WillScot Options | 14,667 | |||
Mobile Mini ABL borrowings repaid | 555,400 | |||
Mobile Mini ABL interest repaid | 811 | |||
Total consideration attributable to Mobile Mini debt repayment | 556,211 | |||
Estimated total purchase price | $ | 1,645,795 |
Estimated total purchase price at closing may change materially from the amount shown above as a result of (1) changes in the WillScot Class A Common Stock share price, (2) changes in fair value measurement of the Mobile Mini stock options and (3) changes in the fair value measurement of the debt assumed by WillScot. A $1.00 change in the price per share of WillScot Class A Common Stock would increase or decrease the pro forma estimated total purchase price by approximately $107 million. The change in purchase consideration would be expected to be assigned primarily to goodwill.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was prepared using the acquisition method of accounting under the provisions of ASC 805 and was based on the historical financial information of WillScot and Mobile Mini. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total estimated purchase price of an acquisition is assigned to the net tangible and intangible assets to be acquired based on their estimated fair values as of the date the acquisition is consummated. Such fair values are based on available information and certain assumptions that we believe are reasonable. Management has made a preliminary assignment of the estimated purchase price to the tangible (including rental equipment) and intangible assets to be acquired and liabilities to be assumed based on various preliminary assumptions and estimates. The final determination of these estimated fair values, the assets’ useful lives and the amortization methods are subject to completion of an ongoing assessment and will be available as soon as practicable but no later than one year after the consummation of the Merger. Fair value measurements can be highly subjective and the reasonable application of measurement principles may result in a range of alternative estimates using the same facts and circumstances. The results of the final assignment could be materially different from the preliminary assignment set forth in these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, including but not limited to, the assignment related to identifiable intangible assets, rental equipment, property, plant and equipment, operating lease assets, inventories, deferred taxes, goodwill, operating lease liabilities, finance lease liabilities, debt, and the resulting impacts on depreciation and amortization, interest expense and income taxes.

2. Accounting Policies and Reclassifications
During the preparation of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, WillScot made a preliminary assessment as to any material differences between accounting policies of the two companies. These unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not present any material differences in accounting policies between the two companies based on the preliminary assessment, which will be subject to further review subsequent to the close of the Merger.
Following the Merger, the Combined Company will finalize the review of Mobile Mini’s accounting policies in an effort to determine if differences in accounting policies require adjustment or reclassification between the accounting policies of the two companies that when conformed, could be materially different from the amounts set forth in these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements.
Financial information presented in the “Historical Mobile Mini” column in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet and statement of operations has been reclassified to conform to the historical presentation of WillScot as follows (primarily related to classification of current and non current amounts):

3. Debt Related Pro Forma Adjustments
The following summarizes the pro forma adjustments related to WillScot’s borrowings under the New ABL Facility entered into in connection with the Merger. At the Effective Time, proceeds from the New ABL Facility borrowings will be used to repay (1) the WillScot ABL Facility, and (2) the borrowings of Mobile Mini outstanding as of the Effective Time. Pursuant to the redemption notice (the “Mobile Mini Redemption Notice”) to be delivered at or prior to the Effective Time, certain New ABL Facility proceeds will be paid to the trustee of the Mobile Mini 2024 Notes for payment to bond holders upon completion of the 30 day redemption period. Repayment of Mobile Mini’s existing ABL borrowings and redemption of the Mobile Mini 2024 Notes is presented in note 4. (Merger Related Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet Adjustments).
The Transactions are presented assuming an extinguishment of the WillScot ABL Facility and existing Mobile Mini revolving credit facility. This presentation is preliminary and subject to change as additional information becomes available to finalize the accounting treatment.
a) | Adjustment to cash consists of the following: |
In thousands |
As of
|
|||
Amount borrowed under the New ABL Facility | $ | 1,832,248 | ||
Cash paid to redeem the WillScot ABL Facility | (903,000 | ) | ||
Cash paid for accrued interest associated with the WillScot ABL Facility | (2,348 | ) | ||
Cash paid for deferred financing costs associated with the New ABL Facility | (29,000 | ) | ||
Net adjustment to cash | $ | 897,900 |
b) | Adjustment to other non-current assets represents the elimination of deferred financing costs associated with the WillScot ABL Facility specifically related to the Canadian portion of the WillScot ABL Facility which had no borrowings at December 31, 2019. |
c) | Adjustment to accrued interest represents accrued interest that is repaid in connection with the repayment of the WillScot ABL Facility. |
d) | Adjustment to long-term debt represents the following: |
In thousands |
As
of
|
|||
Amount borrowed under the New ABL Facility | $ | 1,832,248 | ||
Cash paid for deferred financing costs related to the New ABL Facility | (29,000 | ) | ||
Outstanding borrowings on the WillScot ABL Facility repaid | (903,000 | ) | ||
Elimination of deferred financing costs associated with the WillScot ABL Facility | 17,755 | |||
Net adjustment to long-term debt | $ | 918,003 |
e) | Adjustment represents the tax effect on the elimination of deferred financing costs associated with the existing WillScot ABL Facility. |
f) | Adjustment represents the increase in accumulated deficit of $14,808 as a result of (i) elimination of unamortized deferred financing costs associated with WillScot ABL Facility, comprised of $17,755 previously presented as a component of long-term debt, (ii) $2,121 previously presented in other non-current assets related to WillScot’s undrawn portion of its ABL Facility specific to Canada and (iii) the associated tax effect of $5,068. |
g) | Adjustment to interest expense represents the following: |
In thousands |
As of
|
|||
Interest expense related to the New ABL Facility | $ | 51,559 | ||
Amortization of deferred financing costs for the New ABL Facility | 5,800 | |||
Interest expense on WillScot’s ABL Facility | (43,781 | ) | ||
Amortization of deferred financing costs on WillScot ABL Facility | (8,203 | ) | ||
Net adjustment to interest expense | $ | 5,375 |
Interest on outstanding borrowings of the New ABL Facility are based off the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). The 2.81% per annum rate used in the above calculation assumes the one month USD LIBOR interest rate as of April 13, 2020 of 0.81%, and a 2.00% spread as specified by the New ABL Facility commitments. A 1/8% change in interest rate to the drawn portion of the New ABL Facility which is subject to a variable interest rate would increase or decrease the pro forma cash interest expense on the $1.83 billion New ABL Facility borrowings by approximately $2,290 annually.
h) | Adjustment to recognize the income tax impacts of the pro forma adjustments for which a tax expense is recognized using a U.S. federal and state statutory tax rate of 25.5% for the year ended December 31, 2019. These rates may vary from the effective tax rates of the historical and combined businesses. |
4. Merger Related Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet Adjustments
The following summarizes the pro forma adjustments in connection with the Merger to give effect as if it had been completed on December 31, 2019 for the purposes of pro forma condensed combined balance sheet:
a) | Adjustment to cash consists of the following: |
In thousands |
As of
December 31, 2019 |
|||
Repayment of Mobile Mini’s ABL Facility | $ | (555,400 | ) | |
Repayment of Mobile Mini’s 2024 Notes assumed | (250,000 | ) | ||
Repayment of Mobile Mini’s accrued interest associated with ABL Facility | (811 | ) | ||
Repayment of Mobile Mini’s accrued interest associated with 2024 Notes | (7,344 | ) | ||
Redemption premium on repayment of Mobile Mini 2024 Notes | (7,345 | ) | ||
Estimated non-recurring transaction costs paid with proceeds from New ABL Facility borrowings | (77,000 | ) | ||
Net adjustment to cash | $ | (897,900 | ) |
b) | Adjustment to recognize the estimated step-up in fair value of rental equipment acquired. We have preliminarily assigned the purchase price to the net tangible and intangible assets based upon their estimated fair values at the closing date of the Merger. The calculated value is preliminary and subject to change and could vary materially from the final purchase price assignment. |
c) | Adjustment to recognize the estimated step-up in fair value of property, plant and equipment acquired, net of $5.1 million of previously capitalized assets eliminated and recognized as an intangible asset in the Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet of the Combined Company. We have preliminarily assigned the purchase price to the net tangible and intangible assets based upon their estimated fair values at the closing date of the Merger. The calculated value is preliminary and subject to change and could vary materially from the final purchase price assignment. |
d) | Represents an adjustment to goodwill to reflect the balance that would have been recorded if the Merger occurred on December 31, 2019. We have preliminarily assigned the purchase price to the net tangible and intangible assets based upon their estimated fair values at the closing date of the Merger. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired has been recorded as goodwill as of December 31, 2019. The calculated value is preliminary and subject to change and could vary materially from the final purchase price assignment. |
e) | Adjustment to recognize the estimated step-up in fair value of intangible assets acquired consisting of a trade name, acquired technology, and customer relationships. The fair value of the intangible assets acquired is as follows: |
In thousands |
As of
December 31, 2019 |
|||
Trade name | $ | 301,000 | ||
Customer relationships | 263,000 | |||
Technology | 31,000 | |||
Fair value of intangible assets acquired | 595,000 | |||
Mobile Mini historical carrying value of intangible assets | (51,185 | ) | ||
Total adjustment to intangible assets, net | $ | 543,815 |
The ranges of calculated values for the trade name and developed technology were determined using the relief-from-royalty method of the income approach. The principle behind this method is that the value of the intangible asset is equal to the present value of the after-tax royalty savings attributable to owning the intangible asset. In estimating ranges of calculated values, Management utilized various assumptions in order to assess the reasonableness of the selection of a royalty rate and life of the intangible asset. The selected calculated value for the trade name intangible asset reflects the calculated value under an indefinite-life assumption, which is subject to change based on a final determination grounded in both the terms of the merger agreement and assumed market participant treatment of the acquired trade name.
The range of calculated values for the customer relationships intangible asset was determined using the multi-period excess earnings method of the income approach. The principle behind this method is that the value of the intangible asset is equal to the present value of the after-tax cash flows solely attributable to the intangible asset, following the application of post-tax contributory asset charges that reflect the return on other assets that contribute to the generation of the forecasted cash flows. The above calculated values are preliminary and subject to change and could vary materially from the final purchase price assignment.
f) | Represents the repayment of Mobile Mini’s long-term debt, elimination of deferred financing costs and repayment of accrued interest in connection with the Merger. The Mobile Mini ABL facility outstanding of $555,400 will be repaid at the Merger close and the redemption of the Mobile Mini 2024 Notes of $250,000, is expected to occur upon completion of the 30 day redemption period. These actions are specifically contemplated within the Merger Agreement. The related deferred financing costs of $7,857 will be eliminated at close. In addition, accrued interest of $8,155 will be repaid in connection with the Mobile Mini ABL Facility and Mobile Mini 2024 Notes. |
g) | The identified basis differences between both (a) the fair value and historic carrying value and (b) as a result of recordation of non-recurring transaction costs, have been tax effected at the appropriate jurisdictional statutory tax rates, primarily, 25.5% for US Federal and state rate and removal of historic WillScot valuation allowance (see 4h(viii) below for additional details). These rates may vary from the effective tax rates of the historical and combined businesses. The estimate of deferred tax balances is preliminary and is subject to change based upon certain factors including tax attribute limitation analysis and final determination of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed by taxing jurisdiction. In addition, deferred taxes associated with deductible non-recurring items as described in note 4g are included in the balance sheet at the statutory tax rates of the applicable jurisdictions. |
WillScot’s results for income taxes presented herein is WillScot’s best estimate based on the factors described herewith. The tax results may differ from the actual tax balances and effective tax rates of the Combined Company and is dependent on several factors including fair value adjustments and post-combination restructuring actions.

These rates do not reflect the Combined Company’s effective tax rate, which includes foreign taxes and other items and may differ from the rates assumed for purposes of preparing these statements. Because the tax rates used for these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are an estimate, the blended rate will likely vary from the actual effective rate in periods subsequent to completion of the Merger. Further, the Combined Company’s ability to use NOL carryforwards to offset future taxable income for U.S. federal income tax purposes is subject to limitations. In general, under Section 382 of Code, a corporation that undergoes an “ownership change” is subject to limitations on its ability to utilize its pre-change NOLs to offset future taxable income. Based on the information available the Combined Company provisionally expects the ability to utilize all tax attributes, subject to a formal Section 382 analysis upon closing. |
f) | Reflects the pro forma adjustment for the extinguishment of non-controlling interest as a result of the exchange of all issued and outstanding shares of WSHC common stock held by Sapphire Holding for newly-issued shares of WillScot Class A Common Stock at an exchange ratio of 1.3261x and the resulting cancellation of all issued and outstanding shares of WillScot Class B Common Stock, immediately prior to the Merger, as provided by the Merger Agreement and the Voting Agreement. |
g) | Pro forma earnings per common share for the year ended December 31, 2019, has been calculated based on the estimated weighted average number of common shares outstanding on a pro forma basis, as described below. The pro forma weighted average number of common shares outstanding has been calculated as if the Merger shares had been issued and outstanding on January 1, 2019. |
The following table sets forth the computation of pro forma weighted average common and diluted shares outstanding as of December 31, 2019:

i. | WillScot’s Historical Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2019 was in a net loss position, thus WillScot’s stock options and stock awards were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. This adjustment represents the dilutive impact of WillScot’s securities which are no longer anti-dilutive, as the pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2019 has net income attributable to the Combined Company. The impact of dilutive shares was calculated based on average share price for 2019 and may not reflect dilution under current market conditions. |
ii. | Represents the dilutive impact of Mobile Mini’s stock options on Mobile Mini’s Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2019, multiplied by the 2.4050 Merger exchange ratio. Each stock option of Mobile Mini will be exchanged into 2.4050 stock options reflecting the right to acquire shares of Combined Company Common Stock, with the adjusted exercise price equal to the exercise price at which such stock option was exercisable immediately prior to the Merger, divided by 2.4050 (subject to rounding). The impact of dilutive shares was calculated based on average share price for 2019 and may not reflect dilution under current market conditions. |
