Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

NOTE 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization and Nature of Operations

WillScot Mobile Mini Holdings Corp. (“WillScot Mobile Mini” and, together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) is a leading business services provider specializing in innovative and flexible turnkey temporary space solutions in the United States (“US”), Canada, and Mexico. The Company leases, sells, delivers and installs modular space solutions and portable storage products through an integrated network of branch locations that spans North America.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all the information and notes required by US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") for complete financial statements. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of WillScot Mobile Mini and its subsidiaries that it controls due to ownership of a majority voting interest and contain all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, considered necessary by management to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented.

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Company obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date when such control ceases. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the Company. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated.

The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Segment Reporting

In January 2024, the Company completed the unification of its go-to market structure by integrating its modular and storage divisions under a single leadership team organized by geography, achieving local product unification within each metropolitan statistical area and the ability to consistently deliver its portfolio of solutions to its entire customer base. In connection with this change in operating model, the Company realigned the composition of its operating and reportable segments to reflect how its Chief Operating Decision Maker reviews financial information to allocate resources to and assess performance of the segments. As a result, the Company concluded that its two operating segments (US and Other North America) are aggregated into one reportable segment as the operating segments share similar economic characteristics (e.g., comparable gross margins and comparable adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization margins) and similar qualitative characteristics as the operating segments offer similar products and services to similar customers, use similar methods to distribute products and are subject to similar competitive risks.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

ASU 2023-07. Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-07 Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures ("ASU 2023-07"). ASU 2023-07 expands the breadth and frequency of segment disclosures, requiring disclosure of (i) significant segment expenses, (ii) other segment items, (iii) the chief operating decision maker's title and position, (iv) how the chief operating decision maker uses the reported measures of a segment's profit or loss and (v) interim disclosure of all segment profit, loss and asset disclosures currently required annually. ASU 2023-07 clarifies that a public entity may report one or more measures of segment profit or loss and requires that single reportable segment entities provide all required segment disclosures. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-07 on its segment disclosures.

ASU 2023-09. Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures

In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-09 Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures ("ASU 2023-09"). ASU 2023-09 requires entities to disclose more detailed information in their reconciliation of their statutory tax rate to their effective tax rate. Public business entities ("PBEs") are required to provide this incremental detail in a numerical, tabular format, while all other entities will do so through enhanced qualitative disclosures. The ASU also requires entities to disclose more detailed information about income taxes paid, including by jurisdiction; pretax income (or loss) from continuing operations; and income tax expense (or benefit). ASU 2023-09 is

effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-09 on its income tax disclosures.

NOTE 2 - Acquisitions

Asset Acquisition

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company acquired certain assets and liabilities of one local storage and modular company, which consisted primarily of approximately 60 storage units and 800 modular units, for $43.4 million in cash, net of cash acquired. As of the acquisition date, the fair value of rental equipment acquired was $39.7 million.

Integration Costs

The Company recorded $2.9 million and $3.9 million in integration costs related to business combinations, asset acquisitions, and the merger of WillScot Corporation and Mobile Mini, Inc. within selling, general and administrative expense ("SG&A") during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Entry into an Agreement to Acquire McGrath RentCorp

On January 28, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with McGrath RentCorp ("McGrath"). Upon consummation of the merger, each outstanding share of McGrath common stock shall be converted into the right to receive either (i) $123.00 in cash or (ii) 2.8211 shares of the Company’s common stock. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company expects McGrath’s shareholders will own approximately 12.6% of the Company following the McGrath acquisition. The McGrath acquisition has been approved by the Company's and McGrath’s respective boards of directors. The McGrath acquisition is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain customary closing conditions, including receipt of regulatory approval and approval by McGrath’s shareholders, and is expected to close in 2024.

In connection with the Merger Agreement, the Company entered into a commitment letter dated January 28, 2024, which was amended and restated on February 12, 2024 and modified by a Notice of Reduction of Bridge Commitments on February 27, 2024 (the "Commitment Letter"), pursuant to which certain financial institutions have committed to make available, in accordance with the terms of the Commitment Letter, (i) a $500 million eight-year senior secured bridge credit facility, (ii) a $500 million five-year senior secured bridge credit facility and (iii) an upsize to Williams Scotsman, Inc.'s ("WSI") existing $3.7 billion ABL Facility (as defined below) by $750 million to $4.5 billion to repay McGrath's existing unsecured revolving lines of credit and notes, fund the cash portion of the consideration, and pay the fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the McGrath acquisition and the related transactions.

NOTE 3 - Discontinued Operations

UK Storage Solutions Divestiture

On January 31, 2023, the Company sold its former UK Storage Solutions segment for $418.1 million.

(b)			Includes primarily damage billings, delinquent payment charges, and other processing fees.

Leasing and Services Revenue

The majority of revenue (77% for both the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023) was generated by lease income subject to the guidance of Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) ("ASC 842"). The remaining revenue was generated by performance obligations in contracts with customers for services or the sale of units subject to the guidance in Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) ("ASC 606").

Receivables and Credit Losses

The Company manages credit risk associated with its accounts receivable at the customer level. Because the same customers generate the revenues that are accounted for under both ASC 842 and ASC 606, the discussions below on credit risk and the Company's allowance for credit losses address the Company's total revenues.

Concentration of credit risk with respect to the Company's receivables is limited because of a large number of geographically diverse customers who operate in a variety of end user markets. The Company manages credit risk through credit approvals, credit limits, and other monitoring procedures.

The Company's allowance for credit losses reflects its estimate of the amount of receivables that it will be unable to collect. The estimated losses are calculated using the loss rate method based upon a review of outstanding receivables, related aging, and historical collection experience. The Company's estimates reflect changing circumstances, and the Company may be required to increase or decrease its allowance.

Activity in the allowance for credit losses was as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
(in thousands)	2024		2023
Balance at beginning of period	$	81,656	$	57,048
Provision for credit losses, net of recoveries	11,807		8,803
Write-offs	(7,055)		(4,537)

Balance at end of period	$	86,418	$	61,402

Contract Assets and Liabilities

When customers are billed in advance for services, the Company defers recognition of revenue until the related services are performed, which generally occurs at the end of the contract. The balance sheet classification of deferred revenue is determined based on the contractual lease term. For contracts that continue beyond their initial contractual lease term, revenue continues to be deferred until the services are performed. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had approximately $125.7 million and $124.1 million, respectively, of deferred revenue related to services billed in advance. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, $27.6 million of deferred revenue billed in advance was recognized as revenue.

The Company does not have material contract assets, and it did not recognize any material impairments for any contract assets.

The Company's uncompleted contracts with customers have unsatisfied (or partially satisfied) performance obligations. For the future services revenues that are expected to be recognized within twelve months, the Company has elected to utilize the optional disclosure exemption regarding transaction price allocated to unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) performance obligations. The transaction price for performance obligations that will be completed in greater than twelve months is variable based on the market rate in place at the time those services are provided, and therefore, the Company is applying the optional expedient to omit disclosure of such amounts.

The primary costs to obtain contracts for new and rental unit sales with the Company's customers are commissions. The Company pays its sales force commissions on the sale of new and rental units. For new and rental unit sales, the period benefited by each commission is less than one year. As a result, the Company has applied the practical expedient for incremental costs of obtaining a sales contract and expenses commissions as incurred.

Asset Backed Lending Facility

On July 1, 2020, certain subsidiaries of the Company, including WSI, entered into an asset-based credit agreement. As amended on June 30, 2022, the agreement provides for revolving credit facilities in the aggregate principal amount of up to $3.7 billion, consisting of: (i) a senior secured asset-based US dollar revolving credit facility in the aggregate principal amount of $3.3 billion (the “US Facility”), (ii) a $400.0 million senior secured asset-based multicurrency revolving credit facility (the "Multicurrency Facility," and together with the US Facility, the "ABL Facility"), available to be drawn in US Dollars, Canadian Dollars, British Pounds Sterling or Euros, and (iii) an accordion feature that permits the Company to increase the lenders' commitments in an aggregate amount not to exceed the greater of $750.0 million and the amount of suppressed availability (as defined in the ABL Facility), plus any voluntary prepayments that are accompanied by permanent commitment reductions under the ABL Facility, subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions including lender approval. The ABL Facility is scheduled to mature on June 30, 2027.

The applicable margin for Canadian Bankers' Acceptance rate, Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), British Pounds Sterling and Euro loans is 1.50%. The facility includes a credit spread adjustment of 0.10% in addition to the applicable margin. The applicable margin for base rate and Canadian Prime Rate loans is 0.50%. The applicable margins are subject to one step down of 0.25% or one step up of 0.25% based on the Company's leverage ratio and excess availability from the prior quarter. The ABL Facility requires the payment of a commitment fee on the unused available borrowings of 0.20% annually. As of March 31, 2024, the weighted average interest rate for borrowings under the ABL Facility, as adjusted

for the effects of the interest rate swap agreements, was 5.77%. Refer to Note 12 for a detailed discussion of interest rate management.

On February 26, 2024, WSI entered into an amendment to the ABL Facility (the "Fifth Amendment") to, among other things, change the rate under the ABL Facility for borrowings denominated in Canadian Dollars from a Canadian Dollar Offered Rate ("CDOR")-based rate to a Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average ("CORRA")-based rate, subject to certain adjustments specified in the ABL Facility, and to update certain other provisions regarding successor interest rates to CDOR.

In connection with the Company's pending acquisition of McGrath, on February 27, 2024, WSI and certain other subsidiaries of the Company entered into an amendment to the ABL Facility (the "Sixth Amendment") to, among other things, (i) permit the incurrences of indebtedness by WSI and certain other subsidiaries of the Company to finance the McGrath acquisition; (ii) increase the maximum revolving credit facility amount to $4.5 billion; and (iii) modify the borrowing base, certain thresholds, basket sizes and default and notice triggers to account for the increased size of the business and new asset types of WSI and its subsidiaries following the McGrath acquisition. The amendments contemplated by the Sixth Amendment will not become effective until the closing of the McGrath acquisition.

Borrowing availability under the US Facility and the Multicurrency Facility is equal to the lesser of (i) the aggregate revolver commitments and (ii) the borrowing base ("Line Cap"). At March 31, 2024, the Line Cap was $3.2 billion and the Company had $1.3 billion of available borrowing capacity under the ABL Facility, including $1.1 billion under the US Facility and $192.3 million under the Multicurrency Facility. Borrowing capacity under the ABL Facility is made available for up to $220.0 million letters of credit and $220.0 million swingline loans. At March 31, 2024, the available capacity was $189.0 million of letters of credit and $205.2 million of swingline loans. At March 31, 2024, letters of credit and bank guarantees carried fees of 1.625%. The Company had issued $31.0 million of standby letters of credit under the ABL Facility at March 31, 2024.

The Company had approximately $1.9 billion of outstanding borrowings under the ABL Facility at March 31, 2024. Debt issuance costs of $24.8 million and $26.8 million were presented as direct reductions of the corresponding liabilities at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

The ABL Facility and related guarantees are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of WSI and the Company’s other subsidiaries that are borrowers or guarantors under the ABL Facility (collectively the “ABL Loan Parties”), subject to customary exclusions.

Finance Leases

The Company maintains finance leases primarily related to transportation-related equipment. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, obligations under finance leases were $118.4 million and $117.1 million, respectively. Refer to Note 5 for further information.

The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants and restrictions associated with its debt instruments as of March 31, 2024.

NOTE 10 – Equity

Common Stock

In connection with the stock compensation vesting and stock option exercises described in Note 14, the Company issued 631,174 shares of Common Stock during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Stock Repurchase Program

In May 2023, the Board of Directors approved a reset of the share repurchase program authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $1.0 billion of its outstanding shares of Common Stock. The stock repurchase program does not obligate the Company to purchase any particular number of shares, and the timing and exact amount of any repurchases will depend on various factors, including market pricing, business, legal, accounting, and other considerations.

No shares were repurchased during the three months ended March 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2024, $498.2 million of the authorization for future repurchases of the Common Stock remained available.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

The changes in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI"), net of tax, for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 were as follows:

Balance at March 31, 2023	$	(62,188)	$	(667)	$	(62,855)

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, gains of $5.3 million and $1.5 million, respectively, were reclassified from AOCI into the condensed consolidated statements of operations within interest expense related to the interest rate swaps discussed in Note 12. Associated with these reclassifications, the Company recorded tax benefits of $1.4 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

NOTE 11 – Income Taxes

The Company recorded $17.1 million and $30.5 million of income tax expense from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was 23.3% and 28.6%, respectively.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 differed from the US federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to state and provincial taxes and non-deductible executive compensation, partially offset by a discrete tax benefit related to employee stock vesting. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023 differed from the US federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to state and provincial taxes and discrete tax expense from state legislative enactments.

NOTE 12 - Derivatives

In January 2023, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements with financial counterparties relating to $750.0 million in aggregate notional amount of variable-rate debt under the ABL Facility. Under the terms of the agreements, the Company receives a floating rate equal to one-month term SOFR and makes payments based on a weighted average fixed interest rate of 3.44% on the notional amount.

The swap agreements were designated and qualified as hedges of the Company's exposure to changes in interest payment cash flows created by fluctuations in variable interest rates on the ABL Facility. The swap agreements terminate on June 30, 2027. The floating rate that the Company receives under the terms of these swap agreements was 5.33% at March 31, 2024.

The location and the fair value of derivative instruments designated as hedges were as follows:


(in thousands)	Balance Sheet Location	March 31, 2024		December 31, 2023
Cash Flow Hedges:
Interest rate swaps	Prepaid expenses and other current assets	$	17,214	$	9,145
Interest rate swaps	Other non-current assets	$	5,703	$	—
Interest rate swaps	Other non-current liabilities	$	—	$	(4,595)

The fair value of the interest rate swaps was based on dealer quotes of market forward rates, which are Level 2 inputs on the fair value hierarchy (see Note 13), and reflected the amount that the Company would receive or pay as of March 31, 2024 for contracts involving the same attributes and maturity dates.

The following table discloses the impact of the interest rate swaps, excluding the impact of income taxes, on other comprehensive income (“OCI”), AOCI and the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023:


	Three Months Ended March 31,

Location of gain (loss) recognized in income	Interest expense, net		Interest expense, net
Gain reclassified from AOCI into income	$	(5,267)	$	(1,526)

NOTE 13 - Fair Value Measures

The fair value of financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The Company utilizes the suggested accounting guidance for the three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:


Level 1 -			Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 -			Observable inputs, other than Level 1 inputs in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 -			Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions

The Company has assessed that the fair values of cash and short-term deposits, marketable securities, trade receivables, trade payables, and other current liabilities approximate their carrying amounts. Based on the borrowing rates currently available for bank loans with similar terms and average maturities, the fair values of finance leases at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 approximate their respective book values. The carrying value of the ABL Facility, excluding debt issuance costs, approximates fair value as the interest rates are variable and reflective of current market rates.

The fair values of the 2025 Secured Notes, the 2028 Secured Notes, and the 2031 Secured Notes are based on their last trading price at the end of each period obtained from a third party. The following table shows the carrying amounts and fair values of these financial liabilities measured using Level 2 inputs:


	March 31, 2024		December 31, 2023
(in thousands)	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount			Fair Value
2025 Secured Notes	$	523,356	$	525,410		$	522,735		$	527,021
2028 Secured Notes	494,766		473,175			494,500			474,285
2031 Secured Notes	493,860		519,955			493,709			528,075
Total	$	3,366,410	$	3,397,772		$	3,440,203		$	3,485,392

As of March 31, 2024, the carrying values of the 2025 Secured Notes, the 2028 Secured Notes, and the 2031 Secured Notes included $3.1 million, $5.2 million, and $6.1 million, respectively, of unamortized debt issuance costs, which were presented as a direct reduction of the corresponding liability. As of December 31, 2023, the carrying values of the 2025 Secured Notes, the 2028 Secured Notes, and the 2031 Secured Notes included $3.8 million, $5.5 million, and $6.3 million, respectively, of unamortized debt issuance costs, which were presented as a direct reduction of the corresponding liability.

The location and the fair value of derivative assets and liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets are disclosed in Note 12.

NOTE 14 - Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation expense includes grants of stock options, time-based restricted stock units ("Time-Based RSUs") and performance-based restricted stock units ("Performance-Based RSUs," together with Time-Based RSUs, the "RSUs"). In addition, stock-based payments to non-executive directors include grants of restricted stock awards ("RSAs"). Time-Based RSUs and RSAs are valued based on the intrinsic value of the difference between the exercise price, if any, of the award and the fair market value of WillScot Mobile Mini's Common Stock on the grant date. Performance-Based RSUs are valued based on a Monte Carlo simulation model to reflect the impact of the Performance-Based RSU's market condition. The probability of satisfying a market condition is considered in the estimation of the grant-date fair value for Performance-Based RSUs and the compensation cost is not reversed if the market condition is not achieved, provided the requisite service has been provided.

Restricted Stock Awards

Compensation expense for Performance-Based RSUs recognized in SG&A on the condensed consolidated statements of operations was $6.4 million and $5.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. At March 31, 2024, unrecognized compensation cost related to Performance-Based RSUs totaled $48.2 million and was expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted average vesting period of 1.8 years.

Certain Performance-Based RSUs cliff vest based on achievement of the relative total stockholder return ("TSR") of the Company's Common Stock as compared to the TSR of the constituents in the S&P 400 index at the grant date over the performance period of three years. The target number of RSUs may be adjusted from 0% to 200% based on the TSR attainment levels defined by the Company's Compensation Committee. The 100% target payout is tied to performance at the 50% percentile, with a payout curve ranging from 0% (for performance less than the 25% percentile) to 200% (for performance above the 85% percentile).

For 555,790 Performance-Based RSUs granted in 2021, the awards cliff vest based on achievement of specified share prices of the Company's Common Stock at annual measurement dates over performance periods of 4.5 years to 4.8 years. The target number of RSUs may be adjusted from 0 to 1,333,334 based on the stock price attainment levels defined by the Company's Compensation Committee. The target payout for the 555,790 Performance-Based RSUs is tied to a stock price of $47.50, with a payout ranging from 0 RSUs (for a stock price less than $42.50) to 1,333,334 RSUs (for a stock price of $60.00 or greater).

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is intended to help the reader understand WillScot Mobile Mini Holdings Corp. ("WillScot Mobile Mini") operations and our present business environment. MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto, contained in Part I, Item 1 of this report. The discussion of results of operations in this MD&A is presented on a historical basis, as of or for the three months ended March 31, 2024 or prior periods.

On January 31, 2023, the Company completed the sale of its former United Kingdom ("UK") Storage Solutions segment. This MD&A presents the historical financial results of the former UK Storage Solutions segment as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

The consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). We use certain non-GAAP financial metrics to supplement the GAAP reported results to highlight key operational metrics that are used by management to evaluate Company performance. Reconciliations of GAAP financial information to the disclosed non-GAAP measures are provided in the Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures section of MD&A.

Executive Summary

We are a leading business services provider specializing in innovative and flexible turnkey temporary space solutions. We service diverse end markets across all sectors of the economy throughout the United States ("US"), Canada, and Mexico. As of March 31, 2024, our branch network included approximately 260 branch locations and additional drop lots to service our over 85,000 customers. We offer our customers an extensive selection of “Ready to Work” temporary space solutions with over 153,000 modular space units and over 210,000 portable storage units in our fleet.

We primarily lease, rather than sell, our modular and portable storage units to customers, which results in a highly diversified and predictable recurring revenue stream. Over 90% of new lease orders are on our standard lease agreement, pre-negotiated master lease or national account agreements. The initial lease periods vary, and our leases are customarily renewable on a month-to-month basis after their initial term. Our lease revenue is highly predictable due to its recurring nature and the underlying stability and diversification of our lease portfolio. Furthermore, given that our customers value flexibility, they consistently extend their leases or renew on a month-to-month basis such that the average effective duration of our lease portfolio, excluding seasonal portable storage leases, is approximately 38 months. We complement our core leasing business by selling both new and used units, allowing us to leverage scale, achieve purchasing benefits and redeploy capital employed in our lease fleet.

Our customers operate in a diversified set of end markets, including construction, commercial and industrial, retail and wholesale trade, energy and natural resources, education, government and institutions and healthcare. Core to our operating model is the ability to redeploy standardized assets across end markets. We track several market leading indicators to predict demand, including those related to our two largest end markets, the commercial and industrial sector and the construction sector, which collectively accounted for approximately 86% of our revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

We remain focused on our core priorities of growing leasing revenues by increasing units on rent, both organically and through our acquisition strategy, delivering “Ready to Work” turnkey solutions to our customers with value added products and services ("VAPS"), and on continually improving the overall customer experience.

Significant Developments

Entry into an Agreement to Acquire McGrath RentCorp

On January 28, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with McGrath RentCorp ("McGrath"). Upon consummation of the merger, each outstanding share of McGrath common stock shall be converted into the right to receive either (i) $123.00 in cash or (ii) 2.8211 shares of the Company’s common stock. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, we expect McGrath’s shareholders will own approximately 12.6% of the Company following the McGrath acquisition. The McGrath acquisition has been approved by the Company's and McGrath’s respective boards of directors. The McGrath acquisition is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain customary closing conditions, including receipt of regulatory approval and approval by McGrath’s shareholders, and is expected to close in 2024.

In connection with the Merger Agreement, the Company entered into a commitment letter dated January 28, 2024, which was amended and restated on February 12, 2024 and modified by a Notice of Reduction of Bridge Commitments on February 27, 2024 (the "Commitment Letter"), pursuant to which certain financial institutions have committed to make available, in accordance with the terms of the Commitment Letter, (i) a $500 million eight-year senior secured bridge credit facility, (ii) a $500 million five-year senior secured bridge credit facility and (iii) an upsize to William Scotsman, Inc.'s existing $3.7 billion ABL Facility (as defined below) by $750 million to $4.5 billion to repay McGrath's existing unsecured revolving lines of credit and notes, fund the cash portion of the consideration, and pay the fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the McGrath acquisition and the related transactions.

Reportable Segments

In January 2024, we completed the unification of our go-to market structure by integrating our modular and storage divisions under a single leadership team organized by geography, achieving local product unification within each metropolitan statistical area and the ability to consistently deliver our portfolio of solutions to our entire customer base. In connection with this change in operating model, the Company realigned the composition of our operating and reportable segments. As a result, the Company concluded that its two operating segments (US and Other North America) are aggregated into one reportable segment as the operating segments have similar economic and qualitative characteristics.

Asset Acquisitions

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we acquired certain assets and liabilities of one local storage and modular company, which consisted primarily of approximately 60 storage units and 800 modular units, for $43.4 million. As of the acquisition date, the fair value of rental equipment acquired was $39.7 million.

Interest Rate Swap Agreements

In January 2024, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements with financial counterparties relating to $500.0 million in aggregate notional amount of variable-rate debt under the ABL Facility. Under the terms of the agreements, the Company receives a floating rate equal to one-month term SOFR and makes payments based on a weighted average fixed interest rate of 3.70% on the notional amount. The swap agreements were designated and qualified as hedges of the Company's exposure to changes in interest payment cash flows created by fluctuations in variable interest rates on the ABL Facility. The swap agreements terminate on June 30, 2027.

1 Effective for the three months ended March 31, 2024, we reclassified approximately 2,000 units that were previously reported as modular space units on rent to portable storage units on rent as these units are generally used in a dry storage application. Additionally, based on our segment realignment, we have conformed our VAPS presentation to include all VAPS not specific to portable storage orders as modular space VAPS and recalculated average monthly rental rates. This treatment is consistent with prior treatment in our previous Modular Segment. All historical product operating KPIs have been recast to be presented on a comparable basis for all periods.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, unless otherwise noted, results and key drivers of our financial performance included:

•Total revenues increased $21.7 million, or 3.8%. Leasing revenue increased $20.7 million, or 4.7%, new unit sales revenue increased $2.8 million, or 26.7%, and rental unit sales increased $4.5 million, or 54.5%. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in delivery and installation revenue of $6.3 million, or 5.9%.

•Modular product revenue, which represented 75.8% of consolidated revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024, increased $33.8 million, or 8.2%, to $445.1 million. The increase was driven by our core leasing revenue, which increased $24.1 million, or 7.4%, due to continued growth of pricing and VAPS, as well as increased delivery and installation revenue, which increased $3.4 million, or 4.7%. Rental unit sales increased $3.0 million, or 43.7%, and new unit sales increased $3.4 million, or 37.3%.

Modular revenue drivers for the three months ended March 31, 2024 included:

•Modular space average monthly rental rate increased $118, or 11.4% year over year to $1,149 representing a continuation of the long-term price optimization and VAPS penetration opportunities across our portfolio.

•Average modular space units on rent decreased 4,009, or 4.0%, year over year.

•Average modular space monthly utilization decreased 320 basis points ("bps") to 62.5%.

•Storage product revenue, which represented 24.2% of consolidated revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024, decreased $12.1 million, or 7.8%, to $142.1 million. The decrease was driven by delivery and installation revenue, which decreased $9.6 million, or 27.2%, due to decreased activity, as well as a decrease in core leasing revenue of $3.4 million, or 3.0%, driven by reduced portable storage container volumes, partially offset by increased rates on portable storage containers and increased revenue from acquired climate-controlled containers and refrigerated storage units. Rental unit sales increased $1.5 million, or 112.0%, and new unit sales decreased $0.5 million, or 30.7%. Storage revenue drivers for the three months ended March 31, 2024 included:

•Portable storage average monthly rental rate increased $48, or 22.4% year over year to $262 as a result of our price management tools, processes and benefits from increased VAPS penetration opportunities, as well as higher rates on the climate-controlled containers and refrigerated storage units acquired in 2023.

•Average portable storage units on rent decreased 36,389, or 21.7%, year over year driven by lower demand for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

•Average portable storage monthly utilization decreased 16.6% to 62.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023.

•Income from continuing operations of $56.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and gross profit margin of 54.0%. Discrete costs in the period totaled $16.0 million, and included $12.4 million of legal and professional fees primarily related to the acquisition of McGrath, $2.9 million of integration costs, and $0.7 million of lease impairment expense and other related charges.

•Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations of $248.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, representing an increase of $1.2 million, or 0.5%, as compared to the same period in 2023.

•Adjusted EBITDA margin from continuing operations was 42.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and decreased 150 bps versus prior year. Leasing margins decreased 170 bps versus prior year and delivery and installation margins decreased 60 bps versus prior year.

•Net cash provided by operating activities increased $59.9 million to $208.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Net cash used in investing activities, excluding cash used for acquisitions, proceeds from the sale of discontinued operations of the former UK Storage Solutions segment and the related payment for the settlement of the contingent foreign currency forward contract, increased by $21.7 million. Capital expenditures for rental equipment increased $25.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as a result of increased refurbishment spending and increased new fleet purchases, including additional investment in climate-controlled containers and refrigerated storage units. This increase in cash used in investing activities was partially offset by a $6.4 million increase in proceeds from the sale of rental equipment for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Net CAPEX increased $19.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

•Free Cash Flow of $143.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, representing an increase of $41.0 million as compared to the same period in 2023. We deployed this Free Cash Flow to acquire a local provider of storage and modular space solutions with a portfolio of approximately 60 storage containers and 800 modular leasing units for $43.4 million. We paused share repurchases in the fourth quarter of 2023 as acquisition discussions advanced with McGrath RentCorp and did not repurchase any shares of our Common Stock during the first quarter of 2024. We began repurchasing shares of our Common Stock again during the second quarter of 2024.

•We believe the predictability of our Free Cash Flow allows us to pursue multiple capital allocation priorities opportunistically, including investing in organic opportunities we see in the market, maintaining leverage in our stated range, opportunistically executing accretive acquisitions, and returning capital to shareholders.

In addition to using GAAP financial measurements, we use Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Profit Margin, Net CAPEX and Free Cash Flow, which are non-GAAP financial measures, to evaluate our operating results. As such, we include in this Form 10-Q reconciliations to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. These reconciliations and descriptions of why we believe these measures provide useful information to investors as well as a description of the limitations of these measures are included in "Reconciliation of non-GAAP Financial Measures" and "Liquidity and Capital Resources".

Comparison of Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 and 2023

Revenue: Total revenue increased $21.7 million, or 3.8%, to $587.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 from $565.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Leasing revenue increased $20.7 million, or 4.7%, as compared to the same period in 2023, driven by improved pricing and value added products penetration, partially offset by a decrease of 40,398 average total units on rent, which was primarily driven by portable storage containers. Delivery and installation revenues decreased $6.3 million, or 5.9%, due to decreased deliveries and returns. Rental unit sales increased $4.5 million, or 54.5%, and new unit sales increased $2.8 million, or 26.7%.

Total average units on rent for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 were 226,831 and 267,229, respectively, representing a decrease of 40,398 units, or 15.1%. Portable storage average units on rent decreased by 36,389 units, or 21.7%, for the three months ended March 31, 2024 driven by lower demand in 2024. The average portable storage unit utilization rate during the three months ended March 31, 2024 was 62.1% as compared to 78.7% during the same period in 2023. Modular space average units on rent decreased 4,009 units, or 4.0%, for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The average modular space unit utilization rate during the three months ended March 31, 2024 was 62.5% as compared to 65.7% during the same period in 2023.

Modular space average monthly rental rates increased 11.4% year over year to $1,149 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Increases were driven by a continuation of the long-term price optimization and VAPS penetration opportunities. Average portable storage monthly rental rates increased 22.4% year over year to $262 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as a result of our price management tools, processes and benefits from increased VAPS penetration opportunities, as well as higher rates on the climate-controlled containers and refrigerated storage units acquired in 2023.

Gross profit: Gross profit decreased $6.2 million, or 1.9%, to $316.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 from $323.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in gross profit was a result of decreased delivery and installation gross profit of $9.1 million and increased depreciation expense of $15.8 million, and was partially offset by a $15.8 million increase in leasing gross profit. The increase in leasing gross profits was primarily a result of increased revenues due to favorable average monthly rental rates including VAPS across both portable storage and modular space units, which offset lower unit on rent volumes. Cost of leasing and services increased by $7.7 million, or 4.5%, for the three months ended March 31, 2024 versus the three months ended March 31, 2023, driven by a $12.6 million, or 20.9%, increase in labor costs. These increased costs were partially offset by a decrease in subcontractors costs of $6.2 million, or 10.0%, and a decrease in materials costs of $2.0 million, or 7.5%. Cost of sales increased by $4.5 million, or 42.1%, which is directionally in line with increased sales revenues of 38.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Our resulting gross profit percentage was 54.0% and 57.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Our adjusted gross profit percentage, excluding the effects of depreciation, was 66.7% and 67.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decreases, as referenced above, were mainly driven by lower utilization rates, specifically on portable storage products, and higher labor costs.

SG&A: Selling, general and administrative expense ("SG&A") increased $16.7 million, or 11.1%, to $167.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $150.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Other discrete expense for certain one-time projects, primarily legal and professional fees related to the acquisition of McGrath, increased $12.4 million. Real estate and occupancy costs increased $3.8 million, or 18.4%. Employee SG&A excluding stock compensation increased $1.9 million, or 2.8%, primarily as a result of increased salaries and wages. Stock based compensation increased $0.9 million, or 11.7%. Service agreements and professional fees increased $2.0 million, or 12.1%, driven by increased professional fees and licensing subscription costs. These increased costs were partially offset by a $3.7 million decrease in travel and entertainment expenses.

Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA increased $1.2 million, or 0.5%, to $248.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 from $246.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase was driven by a $15.8 million increase in leasing gross profit as discussed above, partially offset by decreased delivery and installation gross profit of $9.1 million and increased SG&A, excluding discrete costs, of $4.0 million, or 2.9%, for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Other depreciation and amortization: Other depreciation and amortization increased $0.7 million to $17.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to $17.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Lease impairment expense and other related charges: Lease impairment expense and other related charges increased by $0.7 million to $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. These charges were related to the exit of an office property.

Currency losses, net: Currency losses, net decreased by $6.7 million to $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. This change was primarily attributable to a $7.7 million loss in the 2023 period on the settlement of the contingent foreign currency forward contract relating to the sale of the former UK Storage Solutions segment in January 2023.

Other expense (income), net: Other expense, net was $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to other income, net of $3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. This change was primarily attributable to insurance recoveries received in 2023 related to Hurricane Ian in the Gulf Coast area of the United States in 2022.

Interest expense, net: Interest expense increased $11.7 million, or 26.1%, to $56.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 from $44.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in interest expense was a result of higher overall weighted average interest rates as a result of increased benchmark rates and higher outstanding debt balances. See Note 9 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion of our debt.

Income tax expense: Income tax expense decreased $13.4 million to $17.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to $30.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in expense was primarily driven by a decrease in income from continuing operations before income tax for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Income from discontinued operations: Income from discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was related to the former UK Storage Solutions segment, which was sold January 2023.

Net CAPEX: Net CAPEX increased $19.0 million, or 41.4%, to $64.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 from $45.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 driven by a $25.3 million, or 53.7%, increase in refurbishment spending and new fleet purchases, including additional investment in climate-controlled containers and refrigerated storage units. This increase was partially offset by a $6.4 million increase in proceeds from the sale of rental equipment for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to using GAAP financial measurements, we use certain non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate our operating results. As such, we include in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Set forth below are definitions and reconciliations to the nearest comparable GAAP measure of certain non-GAAP financial measures used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q along with descriptions of why we believe these measures provide useful information to investors as well as a description of the limitations of these measures. Each of these non-GAAP financial measures has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for analysis of, results reported under GAAP. Our measurements of these metrics may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Adjusted EBITDA

We define EBITDA as net income (loss) plus interest (income) expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization. Our adjusted EBITDA ("Adjusted EBITDA") reflects the following further adjustments to EBITDA to exclude certain non-cash items and the effect of what we consider transactions or events not related to our core business operations:

•Currency (gains) losses, net on monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies other than the subsidiaries’ functional currency.

•Goodwill and other impairment charges related to non-cash costs associated with impairment charges to goodwill, other intangibles, rental fleet and property, plant and equipment.

•Restructuring costs, lease impairment expense, and other related charges associated with restructuring plans designed to streamline operations and reduce costs including employee and lease termination costs.

•Transaction costs including legal and professional fees and other transaction specific related costs.

•Costs to integrate acquired companies, including outside professional fees, non-capitalized costs associated with system integrations, non-lease branch and fleet relocation expenses, employee training costs, and other costs required to realize cost or revenue synergies.

•Non-cash charges for stock compensation plans.

•Other expenses, including consulting expenses related to certain one-time projects, financing costs not classified as interest expense, and gains and losses on disposals of property, plant, and equipment.

Our Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") evaluates business performance utilizing Adjusted EBITDA as shown in the reconciliation of the Company’s consolidated income from continuing operations to Adjusted EBITDA below. Management believes that evaluating performance excluding such items is meaningful because it provides insight with respect to the intrinsic and ongoing operating results of the Company and captures the business performance inclusive of indirect costs.

Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider the measure in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss), cash flow from operations or other methods of analyzing WillScot Mobile Mini’s results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

•Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for our working capital needs;

•Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our indebtedness;

•Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our tax expense or the cash requirements to pay our taxes;

•Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect historical cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

•Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the impact on earnings or changes resulting from matters that we consider not to be indicative of our future operations;

•Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and

•Other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as discretionary cash available to reinvest in the growth of our business or as a measure of cash that will be available to meet our obligations.

Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Profit Percentage

We define Adjusted Gross Profit as gross profit plus depreciation of rental equipment. Adjusted Gross Profit Percentage is defined as Adjusted Gross Profit divided by revenue. Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Profit Percentage are not measurements of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to gross profit, gross profit percentage, or other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. In addition, our measurement of Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Profit Percentage may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Management believes that the presentation of Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Profit Percentage provides useful information to investors regarding our results of operations and assists in analyzing the performance of our business.

Net CAPEX

We define Net CAPEX as purchases of rental equipment and refurbishments and purchases of property, plant and equipment (collectively, "Total Capital Expenditures"), less proceeds from the sale of rental equipment and proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment (collectively, "Total Proceeds"), which are all included in cash flows from investing activities. Management believes that the presentation of Net CAPEX provides useful information regarding the net capital invested in our rental fleet and property, plant and equipment each year to assist in analyzing the performance of our business. As presented below, Net CAPEX includes amounts for the former UK Storage Solutions segment through January 31, 2023.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

WillScot Mobile Mini is a holding company that derives its operating cash flow from its operating subsidiaries. Our principal sources of liquidity include cash flows generated from operating activities of our subsidiaries, borrowings under our ABL Facility, and sales of debt and equity securities. We have consistently accessed the debt and equity capital markets both opportunistically and as necessary to support the growth of our business, desired leverage levels, and other capital allocation priorities. We believe we have ample liquidity in the ABL Facility and are generating substantial free cash flow, which together support both organic operations and other capital allocation priorities as they arise. We believe that our liquidity sources are sufficient to satisfy our anticipated operating, debt service and capital cash requirements over the next twelve months and thereafter for the foreseeable future.

We continue to review available acquisition opportunities with the awareness that any such acquisition may require us to incur additional debt to finance the acquisition and/or to issue shares of our Common Stock or other equity securities as acquisition consideration or as part of an overall financing plan. In addition, we will continue to evaluate alternatives to optimize our capital structure, which could include the issuance or repurchase of additional unsecured and secured debt, equity securities and/or equity-linked securities. There can be no assurance as to the timing of any such issuance or repurchase. If we obtain additional capital by issuing equity, the interests of our existing stockholders will be diluted. If we incur additional indebtedness, that indebtedness may contain significant financial and other covenants that may significantly restrict our operations. Availability of financing and the associated terms are inherently dependent on the debt and equity capital markets and subject to change. From time to time, we may also seek to streamline our capital structure and improve our financial position through refinancing or restructuring our existing debt or retiring certain of our securities for cash or other consideration.

Our revolving credit facility provides an aggregate principal amount of up to $3.7 billion, consisting of: (i) a senior secured asset-based US dollar revolving credit facility in the aggregate principal amount of $3.3 billion (the “US Facility”) and (ii) a $400.0 million senior secured asset-based multicurrency revolving credit facility (the "Multicurrency Facility," and together with the US Facility, the “ABL Facility”). Borrowing availability under the ABL Facility is equal to the lesser of $3.7 billion and the applicable borrowing bases. The borrowing bases are a function of, among other things, the value of the assets in the relevant collateral pool, of which our rental equipment represents the largest component. At March 31, 2024, we had $1.3 billion of available borrowing capacity under the ABL Facility.

Cash Flow Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 and 2023

The consolidated statements of cash flows include amounts for the former UK Storage Solutions segment through January 31, 2023. See Note 3 to the financial statements for disclosure of significant investing items related to the former UK Storage Solutions segment.

The following summarizes our change in cash and cash equivalents for the periods presented:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
(in thousands)	2024		2023
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	208,676	$	148,765
Net cash (used in) provided by investing activities	(110,967)		271,949
Net cash used in financing activities	(95,622)		(423,087)
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents	102		517
Net change in cash and cash equivalents	$	2,189	$	(1,856)

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $208.7 million as compared to $148.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, an increase of $59.9 million. The increase was due to a change of $81.7 million in the net movements of the operating assets and liabilities, partially offset by a decrease of $21.8 million of net income, adjusted for non-cash items.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $111.0 million as compared to $271.9 million of net cash provided by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023, a $382.9 million increase in net cash used in investing activities. The increase in net cash used in investing activities resulted from $404.0 million in proceeds from the sale of the former UK Storage Solutions in the three months ended March 31, 2023 and a $25.3 million increase in refurbishment spending and new fleet purchases, including additional investment in climate-controlled containers and refrigerated storage units, during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

The increase was partially offset by a $35.1 million decrease in cash used in acquisitions, net of cash acquired, a $6.4 million increase in proceeds from the sale of rental equipment and a $7.7 million decrease in cash used for the settlement of a contingent foreign currency forward contract upon the closing of the sale of the former UK Storage Solutions segment in January 2023.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $95.6 million as compared to $423.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, a decrease of $327.5 million. The decrease was primarily due to a $215.1 million decrease in cash used for the repurchase of common stock in the three months ended March 31, 2024 and a $118.1 million decrease in repayments of borrowings, net of receipts from borrowings. We paused share repurchases in 2023 as acquisition discussions advanced with McGrath RentCorp and did not repurchase shares of our Common Stock during the three months ended March 31, 2024. We resumed repurchasing shares of our Common Stock in April 2024.

The decrease was partially offset by a $4.5 million increase in cash used for taxes paid on employee stock awards and a $1.3 million increase in cash used for principal payments on finance lease obligations.

Free Cash Flow

Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP measure. We define Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by operating activities, less purchases of, and proceeds from, rental equipment and refurbishments and property, plant and equipment, which are all included in cash flows from investing activities. Management believes that the presentation of Free Cash Flow provides useful additional information concerning cash flow available to fund our capital allocation alternatives. The following table provides a reconciliation of net cash provided by operating activities to Free Cash Flow.


	Three Months Ended March 31,
(in thousands)	2024		2023
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	208,676	$	148,765
Purchase of rental equipment and refurbishments	(72,417)		(47,128)
Proceeds from sale of rental equipment	14,195		7,781
Purchase of property, plant and equipment	(6,554)		(6,736)
Proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment	—		258
Free Cash Flow	$	143,900	$	102,940

Free Cash Flow for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $143.9 million as compared to $102.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, an increase of $41.0 million. Free Cash Flow increased principally as a result of the $59.9 million increase in cash provided by operating activities and the $6.4 million increase in proceeds from the sale of rental equipment. The increase was partially offset by the $25.3 million increase in cash used in the purchase of rental equipment and refurbishments.

The $208.7 million in cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was reinvested into the business to support the purchase of rental equipment, including VAPS, and refurbishments, acquire a local provider of storage and modular space solutions for $43.4 million, and to fund repayment of borrowings under our ABL Facility.

Material cash requirements

The Company’s material cash requirements include the following contractual and other obligations:

Debt

The Company has outstanding debt related to its ABL Facility, 2025 Secured Notes, 2028 Secured Notes, 2031 Secured Notes and finance leases totaling $3.5 billion as of March 31, 2024, $19.2 million of which is obligated to be repaid within the next twelve months. Refer to Note 9 for further information regarding outstanding debt.

Operating leases

The Company has commitments for future minimum rental payments relating to operating leases, which are primarily for real estate. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had lease obligations of $305.0 million, with $68.3 million payable within the next twelve months.

Other

In addition to the cash requirements described above, the Company has a share repurchase program authorized by the Board of Directors, which allows the Company to repurchase up to $1.0 billion of outstanding shares of Common Stock. This program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any specific amount of shares. As of March 31, 2024, $498.2 million of the approved share repurchase amount remained available.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and capital resources is based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. GAAP requires that we make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base these estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we consider reasonable under the circumstances and reevaluate our estimates and judgments as appropriate. The actual results experienced by us may differ materially and adversely from our estimates. For a complete discussion of our significant critical accounting estimates, see the “Critical Accounting Estimates” section in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the "2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K").

There were no significant changes to our critical accounting estimates during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are exposed to certain market risks from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. Changes in these factors cause fluctuations in our earnings and cash flows. We evaluate and manage exposure to these market risks as follows:

Interest Rate Risk

We are primarily exposed to interest rate risk through our ABL Facility, which bears interest at variable rates. We had $1.9 billion in outstanding principal under the ABL Facility at March 31, 2024. To manage interest rate risk, in January 2024 and January 2023, respectively, we executed interest rate swap agreements relating to an aggregate of $500.0 million and $750.0 million in notional amount of variable-rate debt under our ABL Facility. The January 2024 and January 2023 swap agreements provide for us to pay a weighted average effective fixed interest rate of 3.70% and 3.44% per annum, respectively, and receive a variable interest rate equal to one-month term SOFR, with maturity dates of June 30, 2027. After taking into account the impact of the swaps, an increase in interest rates by 100 basis points on our ABL Facility would have increased quarter to date interest expense by approximately $6.3 million based on current outstanding borrowings.

Foreign Currency Risk

We currently generate approximately 94% of our consolidated net revenues in the US, and the reporting currency for our consolidated financial statements is the US dollar. However, we are exposed to currency risk through our operations in Canada and Mexico. For the operations outside the US, we bill customers primarily in their local currency, which is subject to foreign currency rate changes. As our net revenues and expenses generated outside of the US increase, our results of operations could be adversely impacted by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Since we recognize foreign revenues in local foreign currencies, if the US dollar strengthens, it could have a negative impact on our foreign revenues upon translation of those results into the US dollar for consolidation into our financial statements.

In addition, we are exposed to gains and losses resulting from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates on transactions generated by our foreign subsidiaries in currencies other than their local currencies. These gains and losses are primarily driven by intercompany transactions and rental equipment purchases denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the purchasing entity. These exposures are included in currency (gains) losses, net, on the consolidated statements of operations.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended (the "Exchange Act") as of March 31, 2024. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2024.

Changes in Internal Controls

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2024 that materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings

The Company is involved in various lawsuits, claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company assesses these matters on a case-by-case basis as they arise and establishes reserves as required. As of March 31, 2024, with respect to these outstanding matters, the Company believes that the amount or range of reasonably possible loss will not, either individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company. However, the outcome of such matters is inherently unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties.

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors

The Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows are subject to various risks, many of which are not exclusively within the Company’s control, which may cause actual performance to differ materially from historical or projected future performance. In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in Item 1A. of our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which have not materially changed.

ITEM 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

A share repurchase program authorizes the Company to repurchase its outstanding shares of Common Stock. In May 2023, the Board of Directors approved a reset of the share repurchase program authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $1.0 billion of its outstanding shares of Common Stock. No Common Stock was repurchased during the three months ended March 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2024, $498.2 million of the $1.0 billion share repurchase authorization remained available for use.

ITEM 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities

None.

ITEM 4. Mine Safety Disclosures

Not applicable.

ITEM 5. Other Information

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, no director or Section 16 officer of the Company adopted or terminated a "Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement" or "non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement," as each term is defined in Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K.

(b)Promptly after the Effective Time (but in any event, within one (1) Business Day), Parent shall send, or shall cause the Exchange Agent to send, to each holder of shares of Company Common Stock represented by a Certificate or Uncertificated Shares at the Effective Time, who did not submit a Form of Election pursuant to Section 3.2(b) and the Certificate with respect to a holder of shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Certificate, a letter of transmittal and instructions that shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates or transfer of the Uncertificated Shares to the Exchange Agent for use in such exchange.

(c)Each holder of shares of Company Common Stock that have been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration shall be entitled to receive, upon (i) in the case of each share of Company Common Stock represented by Certificate, surrender to the Exchange Agent of a Certificate, together with a properly completed letter of transmittal, or (ii) in the case of each Uncertificated Share, receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Exchange Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request), both (A) the Merger Consideration and (B) cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Parent Common Stock and any dividends with respect thereto, as respectively contemplated by Section 3.7 and Section 3.5(e). The shares of Parent Common Stock constituting part of such Merger Consideration shall be in uncertificated book-entry form, unless a physical certificate is required under Applicable Law.

(d)Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the holders of shares of Company Common Stock twelve (12) months following the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent or as otherwise instructed by Parent, and any such holder who has not exchanged shares of Company Common Stock for the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Section 3.5 prior to that time shall thereafter look only to Parent for payment of the Merger Consideration (and cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Parent Common Stock and any dividends with respect thereto, as respectively contemplated by Section 3.7 and Section 3.5(e)), without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent and its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Company and its Subsidiaries) shall not be liable to any holder of shares of Company Common Stock for any amounts properly paid to a public official in compliance with applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by holders of shares of Company Common Stock immediately prior to such time when the amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority shall become, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the property of Parent free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(e)Following the surrender of any Certificates or the transfer of any Uncertificated Shares as provided in this Section 3.5, Parent shall pay, or cause to be paid, without interest, to the Person in whose name the shares of Parent Common Stock constituting a portion of the Merger Consideration have been registered, (i) in connection with the payment of the Merger Consideration, (A) the amount of any cash payable in lieu of fractional shares to which such Person is entitled pursuant to Section 3.7, and (B) the aggregate amount of all dividends payable with respect to such shares of Parent Common Stock with a Record Date on or after the Effective Time that were paid prior to the time of such surrender or transfer, and (ii) at the appropriate payment date after the payment of the Merger Consideration, the amount of all dividends payable with respect to whole shares of Parent Common Stock constituting the Merger Consideration with a Record Date on or after the Effective Time and prior to the time of such surrender or transfer and with a payment date subsequent to the time of such surrender or transfer. No dividends or other distributions with respect to shares of Parent Common Stock constituting the Merger Consideration, and no cash payment in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 3.7, shall be paid to the holder of any Certificates not surrendered or of any Uncertificated Shares not transferred until such Certificates or Uncertificated Shares are surrendered or transferred, as the case may be, as provided in this Section 3.5.

(f)The payment of any transfer taxes (including any penalties and interest) incurred solely by a holder of Company Common Stock in connection with the First Merger, and the filing of any related Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to such Taxes and fees, shall be the sole responsibility of such holder.

3.6Certain Adjustments.

Without limiting or affecting any of the provisions of Sections 6.1 and 7.1 and subject to the last sentence of this Section 3.6, if, during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, any change in the issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock or Parent Common Stock shall occur as a result of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including reverse stock split), merger, combination, exchange, consolidation, subdivision or readjustment of shares, subdivision or other similar transaction, or any stock dividend thereon (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into the Company Common Stock or Parent Common Stock) with a record date during such period, the Merger Consideration and any other amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be appropriately adjusted to eliminate the effect of such event on the Merger Consideration or any such other amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement. Nothing in this Section 3.6 shall be construed to permit the Parties to take any action except to the extent consistent with, and not otherwise prohibited by, the terms of this Agreement.

3.7Fractional Shares.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued in the First-Step Merger, and any such holder of Company Common Stock who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share of Parent Common Stock shall be entitled to receive, in lieu thereof, from Parent an amount in cash (rounded to the nearest cent), without interest, determined by multiplying the fraction of such fractional share of Parent Common Stock by the arithmetic average of the closing prices (rounded to the nearest one ten thousandth) of Parent Common Stock on Nasdaq on the last five (5) trading days preceding the Closing Date.

3.8Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates.

In the event that any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Parent or the Surviving Company, the posting by such Person of a bond in customary amount and upon such terms as may be required as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration payable or issuable pursuant to this Article 3 (and any dividends or other distributions pursuant to Section 3.5(e) and any cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Parent

Common Stock pursuant to Section 3.7), as if such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate had been surrendered.

3.9Withholding Rights.

Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary, each of Parent, the Merger Subs, the Surviving Company, the Exchange Agent and any other withholding agent shall be entitled, without duplication, to deduct and withhold from any consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of shares of Company Common Stock and Company Equity Awards, such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any other applicable federal, state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by Parent, the Merger Subs, the Surviving Company, the Exchange Agent or such other withholding agent, as applicable, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by Parent, the Merger Subs, the Surviving Company, the Exchange Agent, or such other withholding agent, as applicable. Parent, the Merger Subs, the Surviving Company, the Exchange Agent or any other withholding agent, as applicable, shall timely remit any amounts of Tax so deducted and withheld to the applicable Governmental Authority.

3.10Transfers of Ownership.

(a)If a transfer of ownership of shares of Company Common Stock is not registered in the stock transfer books or ledger of the Company, or if payment of the Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate or the transferred Uncertificated Share is registered, it shall be a condition to such payment that (i) either such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer or such Uncertificated Share shall be properly transferred and (ii) the Person requesting such payment shall pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other Taxes required as a result of such payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Uncertificated Share or establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

(b)Upon the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Company Common Stock on the records of the Surviving Company. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Uncertificated Shares are presented to Parent, the Surviving Company or the Exchange Agent for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration provided for, and in accordance with the procedures set forth, in this Article 3.

information concerning its businesses, properties and personnel as Parent may reasonably request, and instruct its Representatives to reasonably cooperate with Parent in its investigation. Without limiting the foregoing, following the date of this Agreement and continuing through the Closing Date or earlier termination of this Agreement, at Parent’s reasonable request, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with and provide reasonable assistance to Parent and its Representatives in Parent’s efforts to investigate and confirm the existence of, and where applicable take such actions as are necessary to file and/or obtain, all Registration Certificates that in Parent’s reasonable good faith determination are required by Law to be so filed and/or obtained with respect to all Registrable Mobile Assets of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries. All information furnished pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to the mutual confidentiality agreement, dated as of September 19, 2023, between Parent and the Company (the “Confidentiality Agreement”) and, to the extent such information is specifically subject thereto, the clean team confidentiality agreement, dated November 29, 2023, between Parent and the Company (the “Clean Team Agreement”); provided, that Parent and the Company consent and agree that all information referenced in Section 8.3 may only be shared with and delivered to the Financing Sources pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement and the Clean Team Agreement.

6.3No Solicitation by the Company; Company Adverse Recommendation Change.

(a)From the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Effective Time and the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, except as otherwise expressly permitted by this Section 6.3, the Company shall not, shall cause the Company Subsidiaries, its and their respective controlled Affiliates and its and their respective directors and officers, and solely with respect to such controlled Affiliates that are limited liability companies, the board of managers thereof, not to, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its and their respective other Representatives not to, directly or indirectly:

expected to know, is considering, seeking to make, or has made, an Alternative Proposal or any inquiry or proposal that may reasonably be expected to lead to an Alternative Proposal;

(iii)amend or grant any waiver or release under any standstill or similar agreement with respect to any class of equity securities of the Company or any Company Subsidiaries;

(vi)take any action to make any “moratorium,” “control share acquisition,” “fair price,” “supermajority,” “affiliate transactions” or “business combination statute or regulation” or other similar Antitakeover Laws and regulations inapplicable to any Third Party or any Alternative Proposal; or

(vii)resolve, propose or agree to do any of the foregoing.

The Company shall, shall cause the Company Subsidiaries and its and their respective directors, officers and board of managers to, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its and their respective other Representatives to, upon execution of this Agreement, cease immediately and cause to be terminated any and all existing activities, discussions, or negotiations, if any, with any Third Party conducted prior to the date hereof with respect to any Alternative Proposal (including terminating all physical and electronic data room access previously granted to any such person or its Representatives), and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause (and shall send written notice demanding that) any such Third Party (and its Representatives) in possession of any non-public information in respect of the Company or any Company Subsidiary that was furnished by or on behalf of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries with respect to any such Alternative Proposal prior to the execution of this Agreement pursuant to the terms of the relevant confidentiality agreement with such Third Party to return or destroy all such information.

(b)Notwithstanding the foregoing subsection (a) of this Section 6.3, prior to the receipt of the Company Shareholder Approval, the Company Board (or a committee thereof), directly or indirectly through the Company or any of its Representative, may (i) enter into an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement with a Third Party that has made (and not withdrawn) an Alternative Proposal in writing that was not solicited in violation of this Section 6.3, (ii) thereafter furnish to such Third Party and its Representatives (and the actual and potential financing sources and Representatives of such Third Party, provided that such financing sources and Representatives act in accordance with an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement) non-public information relating to the Company or any Company Subsidiaries, as and to the extent permitted by and in accordance with such executed Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement (and such Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement shall be provided to Parent within twenty-four (24) hours of such execution, and the Company shall provide or make available to Parent all such non-public information, to the extent that such information has not previously been provided or made available to Parent, within twenty-four (24) hours following such information being so furnished to such Third Party), and (iii) participate in negotiations or discussions with such Third Party and its Representatives (and the actual and potential financing sources and Representatives of such Third Party, provided that such financing sources and Representatives act in accordance with an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement), provided, that prior to taking any of the actions set forth in (i), (ii) and (iii) above, the Company Board (or a committee thereof) determines, acting in good faith and after consultation with outside legal counsel and its financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation, that (A) such Alternative Proposal constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, a Superior Proposal and (B) the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Laws. The Company shall notify Parent promptly (and in no event later than twenty-four (24) hours) after it obtains

knowledge of the receipt by the Company (or any of its Representatives) of (i) any Alternative Proposal, (ii) any inquiry that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Alternative Proposal, (iii) any request for non-public information relating to the Company or any Company Subsidiary or for access to the business, properties, assets, employees, consultants, books, or records of the Company or any Company Subsidiaries by any Third Party in connection with or that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Alternative Proposal. In such notice, the Company shall identify the Third Party making, and the material terms and conditions of, any such Alternative Proposal, indication or request and shall provide to Parent a copy of such Alternative Proposal or other inquiry or request. The Company shall keep Parent reasonably informed on a current basis of the status and material terms of any such Alternative Proposal, indication or request, including any material amendments or material proposed amendments as to price and other material terms thereof, including by providing a copy of any draft or final agreements or other material documents relating thereto exchanged between the parties within twenty-four (24) hours of any such exchange.

(c)Notwithstanding the foregoing subsection (a) of this Section 6.3, but subject to compliance by the Company with its obligations under subsection (b) of this Section 6.3, at any time prior to the receipt of the Company Shareholder Approval, the Company Board (or any committee thereof) may effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change in connection with an Alternative Proposal or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1(d)(i), if:

(i)the Company notifies Parent, in writing, at least four (4) Business Days (the “Superior Proposal Notice Period”) before making such Company Adverse Recommendation Change or terminating this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1(d)(i), of its intention to take such action (which notice shall not, by itself, constitute a Company Adverse Recommendation Change or a notice of termination pursuant to Section 10.1 hereof), which notice shall state that the Company Board (or a committee thereof) has determined, after consulting with outside legal counsel and its financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation, (A) that such Alternative Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal and the reasons for such determination, (B) that the Company Board (or a committee thereof) intends to effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change as a result of such Superior Proposal, and (C) the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Laws;

(ii)the Company attaches to such notice the most current version of the proposed agreement reflecting the Superior Proposal and any material documents related thereto, and summarizes in reasonable detail any material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal not reflected in the proposed agreement and other documents, and the identity of the Third Party making such Superior Proposal;

(iii)during the Superior Proposal Notice Period, if requested by Parent, the Company negotiates, and causes its appropriate Representatives to negotiate, with Parent in good faith regarding such adjustments to the terms and provisions of this Agreement proposed in writing by Parent in good faith so that such Alternative Proposal ceases to constitute a Superior Proposal (it being agreed that in the event that, after commencement of the Superior Proposal Notice Period (and any expiration thereof), there is any material revision to the terms of the Superior Proposal, including any revision in price, the Company shall provide a new notice to Parent in accordance with clauses (i) and (ii) hereof and the Superior Proposal Notice Period shall be extended (or, if expired, a new Superior Proposal Notice Period shall commence), to ensure that at least two (2) Business Days remain in the Superior Proposal Notice Period (or, in the case of a new Superior Proposal Notice Period, the Superior Proposal Notice Period shall be at least three (3) Business Days) subsequent to the time the Company notifies Parent of any such material revision in accordance herewith); and

(iv)the Company Board (or a committee thereof) determines, acting in good faith and after consulting with outside legal counsel and its financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation, that (A) such Alternative Proposal continues to constitute a Superior

Proposal after taking into account any amendments to the terms and provisions of this Agreement proposed in writing by Parent in good faith during the Superior Proposal Notice Period, and (B) the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Laws.

(d)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6.3(a) and (c), but subject to the other subsections of this Section 6.3, prior to the receipt of the Company Shareholder Approval, the Company Board (or a committee thereof) may effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change not in connection with or relating to an Alternative Proposal if:

(i)an Intervening Event occurs, as determined by the Company Board (or a committee thereof), acting in good faith and after consulting with outside legal counsel and its financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation;

(ii)the Company Board (or such committee) determines, acting in good faith and after consulting with outside legal counsel and its financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation that the failure to effect such Company Adverse Recommendation Change would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law;

(iii)prior to effecting the Company Adverse Recommendation Change, the Company notifies Parent, in writing, at least four (4) Business Days (the “Intervening Event Notice Period”) before taking such action, of the Company Board’s (or such committee’s) intent to consider such action (which notice shall not, by itself, constitute a Company Adverse Recommendation Change), and which notice shall include a reasonably detailed description of the underlying facts, as known by the Company following reasonable inquiry and investigation, giving rise to the Intervening Event and the reasons for the Company Board’s (or such committee’s) proposal to consider such action;

(iv)during the Intervening Event Notice Period, if requested by Parent, the Company negotiates and causes its appropriate Representatives to negotiate, with Parent in good faith regarding any such adjustments to the terms and provisions of this Agreement proposed in writing by Parent in good faith so that the underlying facts giving rise to the Intervening Event cease to result in a determination by the Company Board to propose making a Company Adverse Recommendation Change; and

(v)the Company Board (or such committee) determines, acting in good faith and after consulting with outside legal counsel and its financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation and taking into account any amendments to the terms and provisions of this Agreement proposed in writing by Parent in good faith during the Intervening Event Notice Period, that the failure to effect such Company Adverse Recommendation Change would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law.

The provisions of this Section 6.3(d) shall also apply to any material change to the facts and circumstances relating to an Intervening Event, as determined by the Company Board (or a committee thereof) in good faith, in which case such change shall require a new notice in accordance with clause (iii) hereof and the Company shall comply again with the provisions of this Section 6.3(d), but in each such case the Intervening Event Notice Period shall be three (3) Business Days following receipt by Parent of the requisite notice from the Company. The Company acknowledges and hereby agrees that any Company Adverse Recommendation Change effected (or proposed to be effected) in response to or in connection with any Alternative Proposal may be made solely and exclusively pursuant to and in accordance with Section 6.3(c) only and may not be made pursuant to this Section 6.3(d), and any Company Adverse Recommendation Change effected (or proposed to be effected) in response to or in connection with any Intervening Event may only be made pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 6.3(d) and no other provisions of this Agreement.

(e)Notwithstanding any Company Adverse Recommendation Change, and unless this Agreement has been earlier terminated in accordance with Section 10.1 (including by the Company under Section 10.1(d)(i)), this Agreement shall be submitted to the Company’s shareholders at the Company Shareholder Meeting for the purpose of voting on the approval of this Agreement and the Transactions (including the Integrated Mergers) and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to relieve Company of such obligation; provided, however, that if the Company Board shall have made a Company Adverse Recommendation Change in accordance herewith based on a Intervening Event, then the Company Board may so submit this Agreement to Company’s shareholders without recommendation, in which event the Company Board shall communicate the basis for its lack of a recommendation with respect to this Agreement and the Transactions to the Company’s shareholders in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus or an appropriate amendment or supplement thereto.

(f)Nothing contained herein shall prevent the Company Board (or a committee thereof), directly or indirectly through the Company, from disclosing to the Company’s shareholders a position under and in accordance with Rule 14d-9 and Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act with regard to an Alternative Proposal, or disclosing such a position with respect to an Alternative Proposal if the Company Board (or a committee thereof) determines, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that failure to disclose such a position would otherwise constitute a violation of Applicable Law (including the fiduciary duties of the Company Board); provided, that (x) any such disclosure that would otherwise constitute a Company Adverse Recommendation Change shall only be made in accordance with Section 6.3(c), and (y) any such disclosure that does not also contain an express reaffirmation by the Company Board of the Company Board Recommendation if requested by Parent shall constitute a Company Adverse Recommendation Change.

6.4Company Shareholder Meeting.

(a)The Company shall, in consultation with Parent, in accordance with Applicable Law and the Company Organizational Documents, (i) no later than three (3) Business Days after the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, (A) duly call and give notice of a special meeting of the shareholders of the Company entitled to vote on the Integrated Mergers (the “Company Shareholder Meeting”), at which meeting the Company shall seek the Company Shareholder Approval and (B) cause the Proxy Statement/Prospectus (and all other proxy materials for the Company Shareholder Meeting) to be mailed to its shareholders; and (ii) as promptly as practicable thereafter duly convene and hold the Company Shareholder Meeting. Subject to Section 6.3, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Company Shareholder Approval to be received at the Company Shareholder Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof and shall comply with all legal requirements applicable to the Company Shareholder Meeting.

(b)Notwithstanding (i) any Company Adverse Recommendation Change; or (ii) the public proposal or announcement or other submission to the Company or any of its Representatives of an Alternative Proposal, unless this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, the obligations of the Company under Section 8.2 and this Section 6.4 shall continue in full force and effect. The Company shall adjourn or postpone the Company Shareholder Meeting if, (i) as of the time for which such meeting is originally scheduled, there are insufficient shares of Company Common Stock represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of the Company Shareholder Meeting or (ii) on the date of the Company Shareholder Meeting, the Company has not received proxies representing a sufficient number of shares of Company Common Stock necessary to obtain the requisite vote; provided that, from and after such time, if any, that the Company makes a Company Adverse Recommendation Change that is permitted by Section 6.3(f), the Company thereafter shall not be so required to adjourn or postpone the Company Shareholder Meeting more than two (2) times following such time.

6.5Key Employee Employment and Consulting Agreements.

Following the date of this Agreement, the Company will, and will cause its Representatives to, use reasonable best efforts to cooperate with and assist Parent and its Representatives in the efforts of Parent and its Representatives to enter into (a) consulting agreements with the Key Advising Executives and (b) employment agreements with the Key Employees, in each case effective as of the Effective Time (collectively, the “Key Consulting and Employment Agreements”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Parent agrees that the execution of such Key Consulting and Employment Agreements by the parties thereto is not a condition to the Closing.

7.COVENANTS OF PARENT

(g)acquire (including by merger, consolidation, or acquisition of stock or assets) any interest in any corporation, partnership, other business organization or any assets (other than acquisitions of products in the ordinary course of business) of any such entity, except in each case, as would not reasonably be expected to impede or delay in any material respect the Transactions; or

(h)agree, commit or publicly propose to do any of the foregoing.

7.2Obligations of the Merger Subs and the Surviving Company.

Until the Effective Time, Parent shall at all times be the direct owner of all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock or other ownership interests (as applicable) of each of the Merger Subs. Parent shall take all action necessary to cause the Merger Subs and, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Company to perform its obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the Integrated Mergers on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. Promptly following the execution of this Agreement, Parent shall execute and deliver written consents as sole equityholder of each of the Merger Subs adopting this Agreement in accordance with the DGCL, the DLLCA or the CGCL, as applicable, and provide a copy of such written consent to the Company, and thereafter neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries shall amend, modify or withdraw such consent.

7.3Director and Officer Liability.

(a)For six (6) years after the Effective Time, Parent shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Company and any successor thereto to indemnify and hold harmless (including advancement of expenses), to the fullest extent permitted under Applicable Laws and as such Person is entitled to be indemnified as of the date of this Agreement by the Company pursuant to the Company Organizational Documents or by any Company Subsidiary pursuant to the governing or organizational documents of such Company Subsidiary or any binding agreements with respect to the indemnification of an Indemnified Person, each present and former officer and director of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, and any Person who becomes an officer or director of the Company or any Company Subsidiary prior to the Effective Time, with the consent of Parent to the extent required under Section 6.1 (each, an “Indemnified Person”), against all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, inquiries, fines, amounts paid in settlement and any fees, costs and expenses (including the reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel of the respective Indemnified Person’s choosing) incurred or arising in connection with any claim, action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, to the extent they arise out of or relate to (i) such Indemnified Person’s service as an officer, director, employee, fiduciary or agent of the Company or any Company Subsidiary at or prior to the Effective Time, or, at the request of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, as a fiduciary under any Company Employee Plan (including any act or omission by such Indemnified Person in his or her capacity as such), in each case at or prior to the Effective Time, or (ii) matters related to this Agreement and the Transactions. In the event of any such claim, action, suit or proceeding, each Indemnified Person will be entitled to advancement by Parent and the Surviving Company of expenses incurred in the defense of any such claim, action, suit or proceeding within twenty (20) Business Days of receipt by Parent or the Surviving Company from such Indemnified Person of a written request therefor; provided, that if required under Applicable Law, the Indemnified Person to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment, that such Indemnified Person is not entitled to indemnification.

(b)Parent shall cause the Surviving Company to maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies for a claims reporting period of six (6) years from and after the Effective Time (the “Tail Period”) from one or more insurance carriers with the same or better credit rating as the Company’s insurance carrier as of the date of this Agreement with respect to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance (collectively, “D&O Insurance”) with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are at least as favorable to the insureds as the Company’s existing policies with respect to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (including in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions); provided, that in no event shall the aggregate cost of the “tail” policy for the D&O Insurance exceed 300% of the current aggregate annual premium paid by the Company for such purpose (the “Premium Cap”); and provided, further, that if the cost of such insurance coverage exceeds such amount, the Surviving Company shall obtain a policy with the maximum coverage available for a cost not exceeding the Premium Cap. In lieu of the foregoing, the Company, in consultation with Parent, but only upon the prior written consent of Parent, may (and at the request of Parent, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to) obtain at or prior to the Effective Time a six (6)

year prepaid “tail” policy under the Company’s existing directors and officers insurance policy providing equivalent coverage to that described in the preceding sentence if and to the extent that the same may be obtained for an amount that, in the aggregate, does not exceed the Premium Cap and, in such case, Parent shall not have any further obligations under this Section 7.3(b), other than to maintain such prepaid “tail” policy.

(c)During the Tail Period, all rights to indemnification and exculpation from liabilities for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time and rights to advancement of expenses relating thereto in favor of any Indemnified Person as provided in the organizational documents of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries or any indemnification agreement between such Indemnified Person and the Company or any Company Subsidiary, in each case, as in effect on the date of this Agreement, shall survive the Transactions unchanged and shall not be amended, restated, repealed or otherwise modified in any manner adverse to the rights of any Indemnified Person thereunder without the prior written consent of such Indemnified Person. The organizational documents of the Surviving Company and, as applicable, the Surviving Company’s Subsidiaries shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, contain provisions related to indemnification equally as favorable to the Indemnified Persons as the indemnification and exculpation from liability provisions in the organizational documents of the Company and its relevant Subsidiaries as in effect on the date of this Agreement.

(d)If Parent or the Surviving Company or any of its successors or assigns shall (i) consolidate with or merge into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving Person of such consolidation or merger, (ii) transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, (iii) have more than fifty percent (50%) of its voting equity interest acquired by another Person, or (iv) convert into another Person or domesticate into another jurisdiction, then, and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Company shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 7.3.

(e)The rights of the Indemnified Persons under this Section 7.3 shall survive consummation of the Integrated Mergers and are in addition to any rights such Indemnified Persons may have under the organizational documents of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, or under any indemnification agreements or other applicable Contracts of the Company or Applicable Law.

(f)This Section 7.3 is intended to be for the benefit of, and from and after the Effective Time shall be enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Persons, who shall be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 7.3. Nothing herein is intended to, shall be construed to or shall release, waive, or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence related to the Company or its Subsidiaries for any of their respective directors, officers, or other employees. Parent shall pay all reasonable expenses, including all reasonable attorneys’ fees, that may be incurred by any Indemnified Person in enforcing the indemnity and other obligations of Parent and the Surviving Company set forth in this Section 7.3.

7.4Employee Matters.

(a)For a period of twelve (12) months following the Closing Date (the “Benefits Continuation Period”), the Surviving Company shall provide, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Company to provide, to each Continuing Employee (i) base salary or base wage rate and target and/or discretionary cash and equity compensation opportunities that are no less favorable than the base salary or base wage rate and target and/or discretionary cash and equity compensation opportunities provided to such Continuing Employee by the Company and the Company Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time; and (ii) employee benefits (including retirement and health and welfare benefits, but excluding defined benefit plan benefits and retiree medical and welfare benefits) that are no less favorable in the aggregate to the employee benefits provided to such Continuing Employee by the Company and Company Subsidiaries immediately prior to the date of this Agreement. Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Company to, for a period of twelve (12) months after the Closing Date, assume and honor the Company’s Change In Control Severance Plan and Involuntary Termination Severance Plan in

accordance with the terms as in effect immediately prior to the Agreement. Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Company to, assume and honor the Company Equity Plans.

(b)The Surviving Company shall not, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Company not to, terminate any employee of the Company as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, a “Company Employee”) without cause through the later of (i) the end of the 2024 calendar year and (ii) six (6) months following the Closing Date (the “Employment Continuation Period”). With respect to any terminations of Company Employees without cause following the Employment Continuation Period and before the end of the Benefits Continuation Period, the Surviving Company shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Company to, provide at least ninety (90) days’ advance written notice of termination.

(c)From and after the Closing, Parent or its Affiliates shall recognize all service of each Continuing Employee prior to the Effective Time with the Company or Company Subsidiaries and their respective predecessors for all purposes, including for purposes of determining vesting, eligibility to participate, level of benefits, vacation accruals and benefit plan accruals (other than benefit accrual under any defined benefit pension plan), under any 401(k) plan, employee benefit plan, program, policy or arrangement of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (each, a “Parent Plan”) in which such Continuing Employee is eligible to participate on or after the Effective Time, in all cases, subject to the terms of such Parent Plan. In no event shall anything contained in this Section 7.4(c) result in any duplication of benefits for the same period of service.

(d)With respect to each Parent Plan providing health or welfare benefits, Parent shall, or shall cause its Affiliates (including the Surviving Company) to, (i) waive, or cause to be waived, any preexisting conditions, limitations, exclusions, actively-at-work requirements and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to such Continuing Employee to the same extent such preexisting conditions, limitations, exclusions, actively-at-work requirements and waiting periods would have been waived or satisfied under the applicable Company Employee Plan such Continuing Employee participated in immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) provide, or cause to be provided, such Continuing Employee with credit for any copayments, deductibles and similar expenses incurred by such Continuing Employee under a Company Employee Plan during the calendar year in which the Effective Time occurs, to the same extent such credit was given under the Company Employee Plan such Continuing Employee participated in immediately prior to the Effective Time, in satisfying such year’s applicable copayment, deductible or out-of-pocket requirements under such Parent Plan; in each case, in accordance with and subject to the terms of such Parent Plan and the requirements of any Parent Plan provider, as applicable, and provided, that nothing herein shall result in the duplication of any benefits.

(e)Unless Parent and the Company agree otherwise in writing at least ten (10) days prior to the Closing, effective as of the date immediately preceding the Closing Date, the Company shall terminate the KSOP (the “Terminated Plan”). Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall provide Parent with resolutions adopted by the Company Board terminating the Terminated Plan, the form and substance of which shall be subject to the prior written approval of Parent, which will not be unreasonably withheld.

(f)As soon as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement, but in no event later than fifteen (15) days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall provide Parent with calculations indicating whether any “disqualified individuals” are expected to receive “excess parachute payments,” both such terms, within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, that will be subject to any excise tax pursuant to Section 4999 of the Code. The Company and the

Parent agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate to update the foregoing information prior to Closing as reasonably requested by Parent.

(g)Without limiting the generality of Section 11.6, nothing contained in this Section 7.4 or elsewhere in this Agreement, express or implied (i) shall cause the Company, Parent or any of their Affiliates (including the Surviving Company) to be obligated to continue to employ or engage any Person, including any Continuing Employees, for any period of time following the Effective Time; (ii) shall prevent the Company, Parent or their Affiliates (including the Surviving Company) from revising, amending or terminating any Company Employee Plan or any other employee benefit plan, program or policy in effect from time to time that is assumed, established, sponsored or maintained by any of them; (iii) shall establish or be construed as an amendment, termination or modification of, or an undertaking to establish, amend, terminate or modify, any Company Employee Plan or Parent Plan; or (iv) is intended to or shall create any third-party beneficiary rights in any Person other than the Parties, including any present or former Company Service Provider (including any beneficiary or dependent of such individual).

Parent shall give the Company prompt oral and written notice of any breach or default by any party to any Financing Documents or any Alternative Financing (as defined below), in each case of which it has become aware, and any purported termination or repudiation by any party to any Financing Documents or any Alternative Financing, in each case of which it has become aware, or upon receipt of written notice of any dispute or disagreement between or among the parties to any Financing Documents or any Alternative Financing or any Financing Source.

In such event (except as otherwise set forth herein, and except for purposes of Section 5.18), the term “Financing” as used in this Agreement shall be deemed to include any Alternative Financing and the term “Commitment Letter” as used in this Agreement shall be deemed to include any amendment to the Commitment Letter entered into in accordance with the terms hereof and any commitment letters entered into with respect to any Alternative Financing.

(c)From and after the date of this Agreement until the Closing, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Parent with all cooperation reasonably requested by Parent in connection with the arrangement, syndication and consummation of the Financing.

than the Closing Date; (vi) at Parent’s reasonable request, (A) assist with the preparation of a customary borrowing base certificate (solely to the extent relating to assets of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries), including relating to the borrowing base contemplated by the Commitment Letter, delivering applicable supporting information and documentation and assisting, and providing cooperation with and access to representatives of the Parent and Financing Sources to conduct customary field examinations and appraisals relating to inventory and real estate assets of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, and (B) cooperate with Parent to establish bank and other accounts and blocked account agreements and lock box arrangements, to be effective no earlier than the Closing Date, in connection with the foregoing; and (vii) provide to Parent at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date all documentation and other information with respect to the Company and their Subsidiaries as shall have been reasonably requested in writing by Parent at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date that is required in connection with the Financing by U.S. and Canadian regulatory authorities under applicable “know-your-customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Patriot Act, and the requirements of 31 CFR § 1010.230 and that are required by paragraph 5 of Exhibit E of the Commitment Letter.

(d)Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Company nor any Company Subsidiary shall be required (or permit the taking of any action pursuant to this Section 8.3) to (i) take any action in respect of the Financing to the extent that such action would cause any condition to Closing set forth herein to fail to be satisfied by the required time or otherwise result in a breach of this Agreement by the Company; (ii) take any action in respect of the Financing that would violate the Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ organizational documents or any Applicable Law, in each case in a manner that would have a Company Material Adverse Effect, or result in a non de minimis breach of, or non de minimis default under, any Company Material Contract to which the Company or any Company Subsidiary is a party to the extent such Company Material Contract is with a Third Party that is unaffiliated with the Company; (iii) execute and deliver any letter, agreement, document or certificate in connection with the Financing or take any corporate action that is not contingent on, or that would be effective prior to, the occurrence of the Closing; (iv) pay any commitment fee or other fee or payment to obtain consent or incur any liability with respect to, or cause or permit any Lien to be placed on, any of their respective assets in connection with the Financing prior to the Closing Date; (v) subject any of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ respective directors, managers, officers or employees to any actual or potential personal liability; (vi) cause or require the directors and managers of the Company or any Company Subsidiary to adopt resolutions approving the agreements, documents and instruments pursuant to which the Financing is obtained unless such resolutions are contingent upon the occurrence of, or only effective as of, the Closing or some other date following the Closing upon which such directors and managers are or will still be directors and managers of such Company or such Subsidiary; (vii) waive or amend any terms of this Agreement or any other Contract to which the Company or any Company Subsidiary is party; (viii) provide access to or disclose information where the Company determines in good faith that such access or disclosure would reasonably be expected to jeopardize the attorney-client privilege or contravene any applicable law or contract; or (ix) unreasonably interfere with the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries. Nothing in this Section 8.3 or otherwise shall require the Company or any Company Subsidiary, prior to the Closing Date, to be an issuer or other obligor with respect to any of the Financing.

(e)The Company hereby consents to the reasonable use of the logos of the Company and/or each of its Subsidiaries by Parent, the Merger Subs and the Borrowers, to the extent applicable, in connection with the Financing; provided, that Parent, the Merger Subs and the Borrowers shall ensure that such logos are used solely in a manner that is not intended or reasonably likely to harm or disparage the Company or any Company Subsidiary.

(f)Parent shall, promptly upon request by the Company, reimburse the Company for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Company or the Company Subsidiaries or their respective Representatives in connection with such cooperation pursuant to this Section 8.3 and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Company Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives from and against any and all losses suffered or incurred by them in

connection with the arrangement of the Financing, any action taken by them at the request of Parent or the Merger Subs pursuant to this Section 8.3, and any information used in connection therewith (other than information provided in writing by the Company or the Company Subsidiaries specifically in connection with its obligations pursuant to this Section 8.3).

(g)The Company shall deliver to the Lead Arrangers under the Commitment Letter: (i) audited consolidated balance sheets of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries as at the end of, and related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for, the three most recently completed fiscal years ended at least 60 days before the Closing Date; and (ii) unaudited consolidated balance sheets of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries as at the end of, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for, each subsequent fiscal quarter (other than the fourth fiscal quarter of any fiscal year) of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries ended after the most recent fiscal period for which audited financial statements have been provided pursuant to clause (i) hereof and ended at least 40 days before the Closing Date, including, for the avoidance of doubt, comparative information for the same period in the prior fiscal year. It is understood and agreed that (x) all such financial statements shall comply with the requirements of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act, and all other accounting rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder and have been prepared in conformity with GAAP applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods covered thereby, except in the case of unaudited financial statements, which are subject to normal period and adjustments and do not contain footnotes as permitted by the applicable rules of the SEC; (y) all such unaudited financial statements shall have undergone a “SAS 100” review; and (z) the public filing of any such required financial statements with the SEC shall constitute delivery of such financial statements to the Lead Arrangers under the Commitment Letter.

(a)by mutual written agreement of the Company and Parent;

(b)by either the Company or Parent, if:

(i)the Integrated Mergers have not become effective on or before October 31, 2024 (as such date may be extended pursuant to the following proviso, the “End Date”); provided, that, if on such date, one or more of the conditions to the Closing set forth in (A) Section 9.1(b) or Section 9.2(d), or (B) Section 9.1(c) (if, in the case of clause (B), the Order or Applicable Law relates to the matter referenced in Section 9.1(b) or Section 9.2(d)) shall not have been satisfied, but all other conditions to the Closing shall have been satisfied (or in the case of conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing, shall be capable of being satisfied or waived on such date) or waived, then the End Date shall be extended by either the Company or the Parent, to a date that is up to three (3) months after such date, if either the Company or the Parent notifies the other Party in writing on or prior to 5:00 pm Eastern time on the End Date, of its election to so extend the End Date (in which case any references to the End Date herein shall mean the End Date, as so extended, it being understood that if each of Parent and the Company provides such a notice to the other but the proposed new End Dates in each are not the same then the End Date that is later in time shall constitute the End Date as so extended); provided, that the right to terminate this Agreement or extend the End Date pursuant to this Section 10.1(b)(i) shall not be available to any Party whose breach of any provision of this Agreement primarily causes or results in the failure of the Integrated Mergers to be consummated by such time;

(ii)any Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction shall have enacted, issued, enforced or entered any Applicable Law or Order after the date hereof that makes illegal, permanently enjoins, prevents or otherwise prohibits the consummation of the Transactions (including the Integrated Mergers) and, such Applicable Law or Order shall have become final and non-appealable; provided, that the right to terminate this

(iii)the Company Shareholder Approval shall not have been obtained by reason of the failure to obtain the required vote upon a vote taken thereon at the Company Shareholder Meeting (including any adjournment or postponement thereof).

(c)by Parent, if:

(i)prior to the receipt of the Company Shareholder Approval, a Company Adverse Recommendation Change shall have occurred; or

(ii)a breach of any representation or warranty or failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of the Company set forth in this Agreement shall have occurred that, together with any other breaches or failure to perform by the Company, would constitute, if continuing on the Closing Date, the failure of any condition set forth in Section 9.2(a) or Section 9.2(b), and such breach or failure to perform (A) is incapable of being cured by the End Date or (B) has not been cured by the Company within thirty (30) days following written notice to the Company from Parent of such breach or failure to perform, but Parent may terminate this Agreement under this Section 10.1(c)(ii) only so long as Parent is not then in breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement, which breach by Parent would cause any condition set forth in Section 9.3(a) or Section 9.3(b) not to be satisfied; or

(d)by the Company, if:

(i)prior to receipt of the Company Shareholder Approval, the Company Board (or a committee thereof) authorizes the Company, in accordance with Section 6.3, to terminate this Agreement to enter into a Company Acquisition Agreement in respect of a Superior Proposal; provided, that the Company shall not be entitled to terminate the Agreement under this Section 10.1(d)(i) unless the Company has complied in all material respects with all its obligations under Section 6.3 with respect to such Superior Proposal (including with respect to the Alternative Proposal underlying or leading to such Superior Proposal); provided further that concurrently with such termination (A) the Company shall enter into such Company Acquisition Agreement, and (B) the Company shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Parent the Termination Fee due under Section 10.3(a); or

(ii)a breach of any representation or warranty or failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of Parent or the Merger Subs set forth in this Agreement shall have occurred that, together with any other breaches or failure to perform by Parent or the Merger Subs, would constitute, if continuing on the Closing Date, the failure of any condition set forth in Section 9.3(a) or Section 9.3(b), and such breach or failure to perform (A) is incapable of being cured by the End Date or (B) has not been cured by Parent or the Merger Subs, as applicable, within thirty (30) days following written notice to Parent from the Company of such breach or failure to perform, but the Company may terminate this Agreement under this Section 10.1(d)(ii) only so long as the Company is not then in breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement, which breach by the Company would cause any condition set forth in Section 9.2(a) or Section 9.2(b) not to be satisfied.

The Party desiring to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.1 (other than pursuant to Section 10.1(a)) shall give written notice of such termination to the other Party.

10.2Effect of Termination.

If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 10.1, this Agreement shall become void and of no further force or effect without liability of any Party to the other Party hereto, except as provided in Sections 8.3(f), 10.3 and 11.4; provided, that no such termination shall relieve any Party of any liability for damages resulting from (a) fraud by such Party or (b) the Willful Breach by such Party of any provision set forth in this Agreement.

The provisions of Section 8.3(f), this Section 10.2, Section 10.3, Section 10.4, Section 10.5 and Article 11 (other than Section 11.13) shall survive any termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1. In addition, the termination of this Agreement shall not affect the Parties’ respective obligations under the Confidentiality Agreement or the Clean Team Agreement.

10.3Termination Fee.

(a)If this Agreement is terminated:

(i)by Parent pursuant to Section 10.1(c)(i);

(ii)by the Company pursuant to Section 10.1(d)(i);

(iii)by the Company or Parent pursuant to Section 10.1(b)(i) (without the Company Shareholder Approval having been obtained) or by Parent pursuant to Section 10.1(c)(ii) as a result of a Willful Breach of this Agreement by the Company and: (A) prior to the time of such termination, an Alternative Proposal shall have been publicly proposed, disclosed or announced and not withdrawn at least three (3) Business Days in advance of the Company Shareholder Meeting (to the extent such Company Shareholder Meeting has occurred); and (B) within twelve (12) months after such termination of this Agreement, (1) a transaction relating to an Alternative Proposal is consummated or (2) a definitive agreement relating to an Alternative Proposal is entered into by the Company, in the case of each of clause (1) and (2), whether or not such Alternative Proposal is the same as the one referred to in clause (A) hereof; or

(iv)by the Company or Parent pursuant to Section 10.1(b)(iii) and (A) prior to the Company Shareholder Meeting, an Alternative Proposal shall have been publicly proposed, disclosed or announced and not withdrawn at least three (3) Business Days in advance of the Company Shareholder Meeting; and (B) within twelve (12) months after such termination of this Agreement, (1) a transaction relating to an Alternative Proposal is consummated or (2) a definitive agreement relating to an Alternative Proposal is entered into by the Company, in the case of each of clause (1) and (2), whether or not such Alternative Proposal is the same as the one referred to in clause (A) hereof,

then, in each case, the Company shall pay to Parent, in cash at the time specified in the following sentence, a fee in the amount of $120,000,000 (the “Termination Fee”). The Termination Fee shall be paid as follows: (x) in the case of clause (i) of this Section 10.3(a), within three (3) Business Days after the date of termination of this Agreement; (y) in the case of clause (ii) of this Section 10.3(a) concurrently with such termination; and (z) in the case of clause (iii) or (iv) of this Section 10.3(a), on the earlier of the date the Company enters into such definitive agreement and the date of consummation of such transaction (provided that if prior to the time of any termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1(b)(iii) any of the events described in Section 10.1(c)(i) have occurred, then the Termination Fee payable under Section 10.3(a)(iv) shall be paid by the Company within three (3) Business Days after the date of such termination). For purposes of clauses (iii)(B) and (iv)(B) of this Section 10.3(a), “Alternative Proposal” shall have the meaning assigned thereto in Section 1.1 except that all references in the definition to “20%” shall be deemed to be references to “50%”. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the Termination Fee would not be payable pursuant to Section 10.3(a)(iii) above under circumstances where the termination pursuant to Section 10.1(b)(i) constitutes a Regulatory Termination if the Company Shareholder

Approval shall have been obtained at the time of such termination, irrespective of whether an Alternative Proposal shall have been publicly proposed, disclosed or announced and not withdrawn at least three (3) Business Days in advance of the Company Shareholder Meeting.

(b)Any payment of the Termination Fee shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Parent.

(c)The Parties agree and understand that (i) in no event shall the Company be required to pay the Termination Fee on more than one occasion and (ii) in no event shall Parent be entitled, pursuant to this Section 10.3, to receive an amount greater than the Termination Fee plus any Collection Expenses. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, except in the case of fraud or intentional breach, or as provided in Section 11.4, (x) if Parent receives the Termination Fee from the Company pursuant to this Section 10.3, such payment (together with any Collection Expenses) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Parent and the Merger Subs against the Company and its Subsidiaries and none of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Transactions. The Company acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 10.3 are an integral part of the Transactions, that, without these agreements, Parent would not enter into this Agreement and that any amounts payable pursuant to this Section 10.3 do not constitute a penalty. Accordingly, if the Company fails to promptly pay any amount due pursuant to this Section 10.3, the Company shall also pay any Collection Expenses incurred in obtaining a judgment against or settlement with the Company for the Termination Fee.

10.4Regulatory Termination Fee

(a)If this Agreement is terminated by the Company or Parent pursuant to (A) Section 10.1(b)(i) and if at the time of such termination all of the conditions set forth in Sections 9.1, 9.2 and 9.3 are satisfied (or in the case of conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing, are capable of being satisfied or waived on such date) or waived, except for either (1) the condition in Section 9.1(b) or Section 9.2(d), or (2) the condition in Section 9.1(c) (if in the case of this clause (2), the Order or Applicable Law in existence that has caused such condition not to be satisfied relates to the matters referenced in Section 9.1(b) and Section 9.2(d)), or (B) Section 10.1(b)(ii) (if the Order or Applicable Law relates to the matters referenced in Section 9.1(b) or Section 9.2(d)) (a termination of this Agreement made in accordance with and under the circumstances provided in either of the preceding clause (A) or clause (B), a “Regulatory Termination”), then, in each case, Parent shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the Company, in cash at the time specified in the following sentence, a fee in the amount of $180,000,000 (the “Regulatory Termination Fee”). The Regulatory Termination Fee shall be paid within three (3) Business Days after the date of termination of this Agreement.

(b)Any payment of the Regulatory Termination Fee shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Company.

(c)The Parties agree and understand that (i) in no event shall Parent be required to pay the Regulatory Termination Fee on more than one occasion and (ii) in no event shall the Company be entitled, pursuant to this Section 10.4, to receive an amount greater than the Regulatory Termination Fee plus any Collection Expenses and any amounts then or thereafter to be paid under Section 8.3(f). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, except in the case of fraud or intentional breach, (x) if the Company receives the Regulatory Termination Fee from Parent pursuant to this Section 10.4, such payment (together with any Collection Expenses and any amounts then or thereafter to be paid under Section 8.3(f)) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Company against Parent and its Subsidiaries and none of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Transactions. Parent acknowledges that the agreements contained in Section 8.3(f), this Section 10.4 and Section 10.5 are an integral part of the Transactions, that, without these agreements, the Company would not enter into this Agreement and that any amounts payable pursuant to Section 8.3(f), this Section 10.4 and Section 10.5 do not constitute a penalty. Accordingly, if Parent fails to promptly pay any amount due pursuant to this

Section 10.4 and Section 10.5, Parent shall also pay any Collection Expenses incurred in obtaining a judgment against or settlement with Parent or any of its Affiliates for the Regulatory Termination Fee.

10.5Costs Reimbursements

If this Agreement is terminated by Parent in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.1(c)(ii) or by the Company in accordance with Section 10.1(d)(ii), as the case may be, and such breach constitutes a Willful Breach, then the breaching party shall reimburse the terminating party for all of its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of counsel, financial advisors and accountants) incurred in connection with the Transactions, including the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and any Collection Expenses (collectively, the “Costs Reimbursement”), provided, that such Costs Reimbursement shall not affect any other rights or remedies of any Party hereunder.
