            Pursuant to the Offer, we are offering up to an aggregate of 12,636,435 shares of our Common Stock in exchange for all of the Warrants.

            Each Warrant holder whose Warrants are exchanged pursuant to the Offer will receive 0.18182 shares of our Common Stock for each Warrant tendered by such holder and exchanged. No fractional shares of our Common Stock will be issued pursuant to the Offer. In lieu of issuing fractional shares, any holder of Warrants who would otherwise have been entitled to receive fractional shares pursuant to the Offer will, after aggregating all such fractional shares of such holder, be paid in cash (without interest) in an amount equal to such fractional part of a share multiplied by the last sale price of our Common Stock on Nasdaq on the last trading day of the Offer Period. Our obligation to complete the Offer is not conditioned on the receipt of a minimum number of tendered Warrants.

The Offer is not made to those holders who reside in states or other jurisdictions where an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

            We may withdraw the Offer only if the conditions to the Offer are not satisfied or waived prior to the Expiration Date. Promptly upon any such withdrawal, we will return the tendered Warrants to the holders.

            Warrants not exchanged for our Common Stock pursuant to the Offer will remain outstanding subject to their current terms, including our ability to redeem the Public Warrants at a price of $0.01 per Public Warrant in the event the last sale price of our Common Stock has been at least $18.00 for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading-day period ending on the third business day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is given. We reserve the right to redeem any of the Public Warrants pursuant to their current terms at any time.

Table of Contents

 

"Private Warrants"

 

As of November 6, 2018, we had outstanding 18,600,001 Private Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 9,300,000.5 shares of our Common Stock.

Pursuant to the Offer, we are offering up to an aggregate of 12,636,435 shares of our Common Stock in exchange for all of the Warrants

 

General Terms of the Warrants

 

Each Warrant entitles such warrant holder to purchase one-half of one share of our Common Stock for a purchase price of $5.75, subject to adjustments pursuant to the Warrant Agreement (as defined below). We may call (i) the Public Warrants or (ii) the Private Warrants, if such Private Warrants are no longer held by their initial holders, their affiliates or certain permitted transferees, for redemption, in each case, at any time while the Warrants are exercisable, upon not less than 30 days' prior written notice of redemption to each Warrant holder, at $0.01 per Warrant, if and only if the last sale price of our Common Stock on Nasdaq has been at least $18.00 per share on each of 20 trading days within the 30 trading day period ending on the third business day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is given and provided there is an effective registration statement covering the Common Stock underlying the Warrants available throughout the 30-day redemption period. If we call the Warrants for redemption, we will have the option to require any holder that wishes to exercise its warrant to do so on a cashless basis. The terms of the Private Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants, except that such Private Warrants are exercisable on a cashless basis and are not redeemable by us, in each case so long as they are still held by the initial holders, their affiliates or certain permitted transferees. The Warrants expire on November 29, 2022.

 

The ModSpace Warrants are not subject to this Offer.

The Offer

 

Each Warrant holder whose Warrants are exchanged pursuant to the Offer will receive 0.18182 shares of our Common Stock for each Warrant so exchanged. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued pursuant to the Offer. In lieu of issuing fractional shares, any holder of Warrants who would otherwise have been entitled to receive fractional shares pursuant to the Offer will, after aggregating all such fractional shares of such holder, be paid cash (without interest) in an amount equal to such fractional part of a share multiplied by the last sale price of our Common Stock on Nasdaq on the last trading day of the Offer Period. Our obligation to complete the Offer is not conditioned on the receipt of a minimum number of tendered Warrants.

 

Holders of the Warrants tendered for exchange will not have to pay any of the exercise price for the tendered Warrants in order to receive Common Stock in the exchange.

 

The shares of Common Stock issued in exchange for the Warrants will be unrestricted and freely transferable, as long as the holder is not an affiliate of ours and was not an affiliate of ours within the 90 days prior to the proposed transfer of such shares.

 

The Offer is being made to all Warrant holders except those holders who reside in states or other jurisdictions where an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful (or would require further action in order to comply with applicable securities laws).

Purpose of the Offer

 

The purpose of the Offer is to provide an opportunity for Warrant holders to realize value and increased liquidity by transitioning on a cashless basis into shares of our Common Stock which have been registered with the SEC. Completion of this Offer will simplify our capital structure, increase the public float of our Common Stock and continue to diversify our shareholder base, which we believe will provide us with more flexibility for financing our operations and growth opportunities in the future. See "The Offer—Background and Purpose of the Offer" on page 21 of this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange.

Offer Period

 

The Offer will expire on the Expiration Date, which is 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on December 6, 2018, or such later time and date to which we may extend. All Warrants tendered for exchange pursuant to the Offer, and all required related paperwork, must be received by the exchange agent by the Expiration Date, as described in this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange.

 

If the Offer Period is extended, we will make a public announcement of such extension by no later than 9:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on the next business day following the Expiration Date as in effect immediately prior to such extension.

See "The Offer—General Terms—Offer Period" on page 14 of this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange.

Amendments to the Offer

 

We reserve the right at any time or from time to time to amend the Offer, including by increasing or (if the conditions to the Offer are not satisfied) decreasing the exchange ratio of shares of Common Stock issued for every Warrant exchanged. If we make a material change in the terms of the Offer or the information concerning the Offer, or if we waive a material condition of the Offer, we will extend the Offer to the extent required by Rules 13e-4(d)(2) and 13e-4(e)(3) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). See "The Offer—General Terms—Amendments to the Offer" on page 14 of this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange.

Conditions to the Offer

 

The Offer is subject to customary conditions, including the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this document is a part and there being no action or proceeding, statute, rule, regulation or order that would challenge or restrict the making or completion of the Offer. The Offer is not conditioned upon the receipt of a minimum number of tendered Warrants. We may waive some of the conditions to the Offer. See "The Offer—General Terms—Conditions to the Offer" on page 15 of this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange.

Withdrawal Rights

 

If you tender your Warrants and change your mind, you may withdraw your tendered Warrants at any time prior to the Expiration Date, as described in greater detail in the section entitled "The Offer—Withdrawal Rights" on page 19 of this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange. If the Offer Period is extended, you may withdraw your tendered Warrants at any time until the extended Expiration Date.

Absence of Appraisal or Dissenters' Rights

 

Holders of the Warrants do not have any appraisal or dissenters' rights under applicable law in connection with the Offer.

U.S. Tax Consequences of the Offer

 

For those holders of Warrants participating in the Offer, we intend to treat your exchange of Warrants for our Common Stock as a "recapitalization" within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(E) of the Code pursuant to which (i) you should not recognize any gain or loss on the exchange of Warrants for shares of our Common Stock, (ii) your aggregate tax basis in the shares received in the exchange should equal your aggregate tax basis in your Warrants surrendered in the exchange (except to the extent of any tax basis allocated to a fractional share for which a cash payment is received in connection with the Offer), and (iii) your holding period for the shares received in the exchange should include your holding period for the surrendered Warrants. However, because there is a lack of direct legal authority regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the exchange of Warrants for our Common Stock, there can be no assurance in this regard and alternative characterizations are possible by the IRS or a court, including ones that would require U.S. holders to recognize taxable income.

No Recommendation

 

None of the Company, our board of directors, our management, the dealer manager, the exchange agent, the information agent or any other person makes any recommendation on whether you should tender or refrain from tendering all or any portion of your Warrants, and no one has been authorized by any of them to make such a recommendation.

Our Warrants may be exchanged for shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Offer, which will increase the number of shares eligible for future resale in the public market and result in dilution to our stockholders.

        The exchange of the Warrants will result in the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock, although there can be no assurance that such warrant exchange will be completed or that all of the holders of the Warrants will elect to participate in the Offer. Any Warrants remaining outstanding after the completion of the Offer likely will be exercised only if the $5.75 per half share exercise price is below the market price of our Common Stock. To the extent such Warrants are exercised, additional Common Stock will be issued. These issuances of Common Stock will result in dilution to our stockholders and increase the number of shares eligible for resale in the public market.

We have not obtained a third-party determination that the Offer is fair to Warrant holders.

        None of us, our affiliates, the dealer manager, the exchange agent or the information agent makes any recommendation as to whether you should exchange some or all of your Warrants. We have not retained, and do not intend to retain, any unaffiliated representative to act on behalf of the Warrant holders for purposes of negotiating the Offer or preparing a report concerning the fairness of the Offer. You must make your own independent decision regarding your participation in the Offer.

Table of Contents

There is no guarantee that tendering your Warrants in the Offer will put you in a better future economic position.

        We can give no assurance as to the market price of our Common Stock in the future. If you choose to tender some or all of your Warrants in the Offer, future events may cause an increase in the market price of our Common Stock and Warrants, which may result in a lower value realized by participating in the Offer than you might have realized if you did not exchange your Warrants. Similarly, if you do not tender your Warrants in the Offer, there can be no assurance that you can sell your Warrants (or exercise them for Common Stock) in the future at a higher value than would have been obtained by participating in the Offer. You should consult your own individual tax and/or financial advisor for assistance on how this may affect your individual situation.

The number of shares of Common Stock offered in the Offer is fixed and will not be adjusted. The market price of our Common Stock may fluctuate, and the market price of the Common Stock when we deliver the Common Stock in exchange for your Warrants could be less than the market price at the time you tender your Warrants.

        The number of shares of Common Stock for each Warrant accepted for exchange is fixed at the number of shares specified on the cover of this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange and will fluctuate in value if there is any increase or decrease in the market price of our Common Stock or the Warrants after the date of this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange. Therefore, the market price of the Common Stock when we deliver Common Stock in exchange for your Warrants could be less than the market price at the time you tender your Warrants. The market price of our Common Stock could continue to fluctuate and be subject to volatility during the period of time between when we accept Warrants for exchange in the Offer and when we deliver Common Stock in exchange for Warrants, or during any extension of the Offer Period.

The liquidity of the Warrants that are not exchanged may be reduced.

        Any unexchanged Warrants will remain outstanding after the completion of the Offer, and the ability to sell such Warrants may become more limited due to the reduction in the number of the Warrants outstanding upon completion of the Offer. A more limited trading market might adversely affect the liquidity, market price and price volatility of unexchanged Warrants. Our Warrants were listed on Nasdaq under the symbol "WSCWW" and were removed from listing on Nasdaq on October 8, 2018 and currently trade on the OTC Markets. As a result, investors in the Warrants may find it more difficult to dispose of or obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of our Warrants, and the ability of our stockholders to sell the Warrants in the secondary market may be materially limited. If there continues to be a market for our unexchanged Warrants, these securities may trade at a discount to the price at which the securities would trade if the number outstanding were not reduced, depending on the market for similar securities and other factors.

THE OFFER

        Participation in the Offer involves a number of risks, including, but not limited to, the risks identified in the section entitled "Risk Factors." Warrant holders should carefully consider these risks and are urged to speak with their personal legal, financial, investment and/or tax advisor as necessary before deciding whether or not to participate in the Offer. In addition, we strongly encourage you to read this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange in its entirety, and the publicly-filed information about us, before making a decision regarding the Offer.

General Terms

        Until the Expiration Date, we are offering to holders of our Warrants the opportunity to receive 0.18182 shares of our Common Stock in exchange for each Warrant they hold. Holders of the Warrants tendered for exchange will not have to pay any of the exercise price for the tendered Warrants in order to receive Common Stock in the exchange.

        No fractional shares will be issued pursuant to the Offer. In lieu of issuing fractional shares, any holder of Warrants who would otherwise have been entitled to receive fractional shares pursuant to the Offer will, after aggregating all such fractional shares of such holder, be paid cash (without interest) in an amount equal to such fractional part of a share multiplied by the last sale price of our Common Stock on Nasdaq on the last trading day of the Offer Period. Our obligation to complete the Offer is not conditioned on the receipt of a minimum number of tendered Warrants.

        The Offer is subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange and the Letter of Transmittal.

        You may tender some or all of your Warrants into the Offer.

If you elect to tender Warrants in response to the Offer, please follow the instructions in this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange and the related documents, including the Letter of Transmittal.

        If you tender Warrants, you may withdraw your tendered Warrants at any time before the Expiration Date and retain them on their current terms by following the instructions herein. In addition, Warrants that are not accepted by us for exchange by December 17, 2018 may thereafter be withdrawn by you until such time as the Warrants are accepted by us for exchange.

Corporate Information

        Our Company (formerly known as Double Eagle Acquisition Corp.) was incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company in June 2015. We were incorporated as a special purpose acquisition company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more target businesses. We completed our IPO in September 2015, after which our securities were listed on the Nasdaq.

        On November 29, 2017, we completed a transaction (the "Business Combination") whereby:

12


Table of Contents

        Upon completion of the Business Combination, the Nasdaq trading symbols of our Common Stock and our Warrants were changed to "WSC" and "WSCWW," respectively. Our Warrants were removed from listing on Nasdaq on October 8, 2018.

        Although we were the indirect acquirer of WSII for legal purposes, the Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse acquisition in which WSII was treated as the accounting acquirer. Consequently, our financial statement presentation includes the financial statements of WSII and its subsidiaries as our predecessor for periods prior to the completion of the Business Combination and of us, including the consolidation of WSII and its subsidiaries, for periods from and after November 29, 2017, the closing date of the Business Combination.

        Headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland, we are a market leader in the North America specialty rental services industry. We provide innovative modular space and portable storage solutions to diverse end markets utilizing a branch network of over 120 locations throughout the United States ("US"), Canada and Mexico.

        With roots dating back more than 60 years, we lease modular space and portable storage units (our "lease fleet") to customers in the commercial and industrial, construction, education, energy and natural resources, government and other end-markets. We deliver "Ready to Work" solutions through our growing offering of value-added products and services, such as the rental of steps, ramps, and furniture packages, damage waivers and other amenities. These turnkey solutions offer customers flexible, low-cost and timely solutions to meet their space needs on an outsourced basis. We complement our core leasing business by selling both new and used units, allowing us to leverage our scale, achieve purchasing benefits and redeploy capital employed in our lease fleet.

        Our principal executive offices are located at 901 S. Bond Street, Suite 600, Baltimore, Maryland. Our telephone number is (410) 931-6000. Our website address is www.willscot.com. Information contained on our website or connected thereto does not constitute part of, and is not incorporated by reference into, this prospectus or the registration statement of which it forms a part.

Warrants Subject to the Offer

        In connection with the IPO, we issued warrants exercisable for 34,750,000 shares of Common Stock, consisting of: (i) 50,000,000 Public Warrants and (ii) 19,500,000 Private Warrants, each exercisable for one-half of one share of Common Stock and governed by a Warrant Agreement dated as of September 10, 2015 between Double Eagle Acquisition Corp. and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company.

        Each Warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one-half of one share of our Common Stock at a price of $5.75 per half share ($11.50 per whole share), subject to adjustment pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, at any time. Pursuant to the Offer, we are offering up to an aggregate of 12,636,435 shares of our Common Stock in exchange for all of the Warrants.

        The founders of Double Eagle and its former independent directors purchased 19,500,000 Private Warrants in a private placement that occurred simultaneously with the IPO. Pursuant to the terms of an Earnout Agreement that was entered into by and among Sapphire Holding S.à r.l. a Luxembourg société à responsabilité limitée ("Sapphire"), Double Eagle Acquisition LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("DEAL"), Harry E. Sloan and us on November 29, 2017 in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, 4,850,000 Private Warrants were released from escrow and transferred to Sapphire on August 15, 2018. The Private Warrants may be exercised at any time. So long as the Private Warrants are held by the initial stockholders, their affiliates or certain permitted transferees, such Private Warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis and will not be redeemable by us. If the Private Warrants are held by holders other than the initial holders, their affiliates or certain permitted transferees, the Private Warrants will be redeemable by us and exercisable by the holders on

13


Table of Contents

the same basis as the Public Warrants. The terms of the Private Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants, except that such Private Warrants are exercisable on a cashless basis and are not redeemable by us, in each case so long as they are still held by the initial holders, their affiliates or certain permitted transferees.

        The ModSpace Warrants are not subject to the Offer.

Offer Period

        The Offer will expire on the Expiration Date, which is 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on December 6, 2018, or such later time and date to which we may extend. We expressly reserve the right, in our sole discretion, at any time or from time to time, to extend the period of time during which the Offer is open. There can be no assurance that we will exercise our right to extend the Offer Period. During any extension, all Warrant holders who previously tendered Warrants will have a right to withdraw such previously tendered Warrants until the Expiration Date, as extended. If we extend the Offer Period, we will make a public announcement of such extension by no later than 9:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on the first business day following the Expiration Date as in effect immediately prior to such extension.

        We may withdraw the Offer only if the conditions to the Offer are not satisfied or waived prior to the Expiration Date. Upon any such withdrawal, we are required by Rule 13e-4(f)(5) under the Exchange Act to promptly return the tendered Warrants. We will announce our decision to withdraw the Offer by disseminating notice by public announcement or otherwise as permitted by applicable law.

        At the expiration of the Offer Period, the current terms of the Warrants will continue to apply to any unexchanged Warrants until the Warrants expire by their terms on November 29, 2022.

Amendments to the Offer

        We reserve the right at any time or from time to time, to amend the Offer, including by increasing or (if the conditions to the Offer are not satisfied) decreasing the exchange ratio of Common Stock issued for every Warrant exchanged.

        If we make a material change in the terms of the Offer or the information concerning the Offer, or if we waive a material condition of the Offer, we will extend the Offer to the extent required by Rules 13e-4(d)(2) and 13e-4(e)(3) under the Exchange Act. These rules require that the minimum period during which an offer must remain open after material changes in the terms of the offer or information concerning the offer, other than a change in price or a change in percentage of securities sought, will depend upon the facts and circumstances, including the relative materiality of the changed terms or information.

        If we increase or decrease the exchange ratio of the Common Stock issuable upon exchange of a Warrant, the number of Warrants sought for tender or the dealer manager's soliciting fee, and the Offer is scheduled to expire at any time earlier than the end of the tenth business day from the date that we first publish, send or give notice of such an increase or decrease, then we will extend the Offer until the expiration of that ten business day period.

        Other material amendments to the Offer may require us to extend the Offer for a minimum of five business days, and we will need to amend the registration statement on Form S-4 of which this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange forms a part for any material changes in the facts set forth in such registration statement on Form S-4.

Partial Exchange Permitted

        If you choose to participate in the Offer, you may tender less than all of your Warrants pursuant to the terms of the Offer. No fractional shares will be issued pursuant to the Offer.

Conditions to the Offer

        The Offer is conditioned upon the following:

        We will not complete the Offer unless and until the registration statement described above is declared effective by the SEC. If the registration statement is not effective at the Expiration Date, we may, in our discretion, extend, suspend or cancel the Offer, and will inform Warrant holders of such event. If we extend the Offer Period, we will make a public announcement of such extension and the new Expiration Date by no later than 9:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on the next business day following the Expiration Date as in effect immediately prior to such extension.

        In addition, as to any Warrant holder, the Offer is conditioned upon such Warrant holder desiring to tender Warrants in the Offer delivering to the exchange agent in a timely manner the holder's Warrants to be tendered and any other required paperwork, all in accordance with the applicable procedures described in this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange and set forth in the Letter of Transmittal.

        We may withdraw the Offer only if the conditions of the Offer are not satisfied or waived prior to the Expiration Date. Promptly upon any such withdrawal, we will return the tendered Warrants. We will announce our decision to withdraw the Offer by disseminating notice by public announcement or otherwise as permitted by applicable law.

No Recommendation; Warrant Holder's Own Decision

        None of the Company, our management, our board of directors, the information agent, the exchange agent or the dealer manager is making any recommendation as to whether holders of Warrants should tender Warrants for exchange in the Offer. Each holder of a Warrant must make its own decision as to whether to exchange some or all of its Warrants

Procedure for Tendering Warrants for Exchange

        Issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exchange of Warrants pursuant to the Offer and acceptance by us of Warrants for exchange pursuant to the Offer will be made only if Warrants are properly tendered pursuant to the procedures described below and set forth in the Letter of Transmittal. A tender of Warrants pursuant to such procedures, if and when accepted by us, will constitute a binding agreement between the tendering holder of Warrants and us upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer.

15


Table of Contents

Registered Holders of Warrants; Beneficial Owners of Warrants

        For purposes of the tender procedures set forth below, the term "registered holder" means any person in whose name Warrants are registered on our books or who is listed as a participant in a clearing agency's security position listing with respect to the Warrants.

        Persons whose Warrants are held through a direct or indirect participant of The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"), such as a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other financial intermediary, are not considered registered holders of those Warrants, but are "beneficial owners." Beneficial owners cannot directly tender Warrants for exchange pursuant to the Offer. Instead, a beneficial owner must instruct its broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other financial intermediary to tender Warrants for exchange on behalf of the beneficial owner. See the section of this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange entitled "The Offer—Procedure for Tendering Warrants for Exchange—Required Communications by Beneficial Owners."

Tendering Warrants Using Letter of Transmittal

        A registered holder of Warrants may tender Warrants for exchange using a Letter of Transmittal in the form provided by us with this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange. A Letter of Transmittal is to be used only if delivery of Warrants is to be made by book-entry transfer to the exchange agent's account at DTC pursuant to the procedures set forth in the section of this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange entitled "The Offer—Procedure for Tendering Warrants for Exchange—Tendering Warrants Using Book-Entry Transfer"; provided, however, that it is not necessary to execute and deliver a Letter of Transmittal if instructions with respect to the tender of such Warrants are transmitted through DTC's Automated Tender Offer Program ("ATOP"). If you are a registered holder of Warrants, unless you intend to tender those Warrants through ATOP, you should complete, execute and deliver a Letter of Transmittal to indicate the action you desire to take with respect to the Offer.

        In order for Warrants to be properly tendered for exchange pursuant to the Offer using a Letter of Transmittal, the registered holder of the Warrants being tendered must ensure that the exchange agent receives the following: (i) a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal, in accordance with the instructions of the Letter of Transmittal (including any required signature guarantees); (ii) delivery of the Warrants by book-entry transfer to the exchange agent's account at DTC; and (iii) any other documents required by the Letter of Transmittal.

        In the Letter of Transmittal, the tendering registered Warrant holder must set forth: (i) its name and address; (ii) the number of Warrants being tendered by the holder for exchange; and (iii) certain other information specified in the form of Letter of Transmittal.

        In certain cases, all signatures on the Letter of Transmittal must be guaranteed by an "Eligible Institution." See the section of this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange entitled "The Offer—Procedure for Tendering Warrants for Exchange—Signature Guarantees."

        If the Letter of Transmittal is signed by someone other than the registered holder of the tendered Warrants (for example, if the registered holder has assigned the Warrants to a third-party), or if the Common Stock to be issued upon exchange of the tendered Warrants is to be issued in a name other than that of the registered holder of the tendered Warrants, the tendered Warrants must be properly accompanied by appropriate assignment documents, in either case signed exactly as the name(s) of the registered holder(s) appear on the Warrants, with the signature(s) on the Warrants or assignment documents guaranteed by an Eligible Institution.

        Any Warrants duly tendered and delivered as described above shall be automatically cancelled upon the issuance of Common Stock in exchange for such Warrants as part of completion of the Offer.

16


Table of Contents

Signature Guarantees

        In certain cases, all signatures on the Letter of Transmittal must be guaranteed by an "Eligible Institution." An "Eligible Institution" is a bank, broker dealer, credit union, savings association or other entity that is a member in good standing of the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program or a bank, broker, dealer, credit union, savings association or other entity which is an "eligible guarantor institution," as that term is defined in Rule 17Ad-15 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

        Signatures on the Letter of Transmittal need not be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution if (i) the Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holder of the Warrants tendered therewith exactly as the name of the registered holder appears on such Warrants and such holder has not completed the box entitled "Special Issuance Instructions" or the box entitled "Special Delivery Instructions" in the Letter of Transmittal; or (ii) such Warrants are tendered for the account of an Eligible Institution.

        In all other cases, an Eligible Institution must guarantee all signatures on the Letter of Transmittal by completing and signing the table in the Letter of Transmittal entitled "Guarantee of Signature(s)."

Required Communications by Beneficial Owners

        Persons whose Warrants are held through a direct or indirect DTC participant, such as a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other financial intermediary, are not considered registered holders of those Warrants, but are "beneficial owners," and must instruct the broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other financial intermediary to tender Warrants on their behalf. Your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other financial intermediary should have provided you with an "Instructions Form" with this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange. The Instructions Form is also filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange forms a part. The Instructions Form may be used by you to instruct your broker or other custodian to tender and deliver Warrants on your behalf.

Tendering Warrants Using Book-Entry Transfer

        The exchange agent has established an account for the Warrants at DTC for purposes of the Offer. Any financial institution that is a participant in DTC's system may make book-entry delivery of Warrants by causing DTC to transfer such Warrants into the exchange agent's account in accordance with ATOP. However, even though delivery of Warrants may be effected through book-entry transfer into the exchange agent's account at DTC, a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal (with any required signature guarantees), or an "Agent's Message" as described in the next paragraph, and any other required documentation, must in any case also be transmitted to and received by the exchange agent at its address set forth in this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange prior to the Expiration Date, or the guaranteed delivery procedures described in the section of this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange entitled "The Offer—Procedure for Tendering Warrants for Exchange—Guaranteed Delivery Procedures" must be followed.

        DTC participants desiring to tender Warrants for exchange pursuant to the Offer may do so through ATOP, and in that case the participant need not complete, execute and deliver a Letter of Transmittal. DTC participants accepting the Offer may transmit their acceptance to DTC through ATOP. DTC will verify the acceptance and execute a book-entry delivery of the tendered Warrants to the exchange agent's account at DTC. DTC will then send an "Agent's Message" to the exchange agent for acceptance. Delivery of the Agent's Message by DTC will satisfy the terms of the Offer as to execution and delivery of a Letter of Transmittal by the DTC participant identified in the Agent's Message. The term "Agent's Message" means a message, transmitted by DTC to, and received by, the exchange agent and forming a part of a Book-Entry Confirmation, which states that DTC has received an express acknowledgment from the participant in DTC tendering the Warrants for exchange that such participant has received and agrees to be bound by the terms of the Letter of Transmittal and that our

17


Table of Contents

company may enforce such agreement against the participant. Any DTC participant tendering by book-entry transfer must expressly acknowledge that it has received and agrees to be bound by the Letter of Transmittal and that the Letter of Transmittal may be enforced against it.

        Any Warrants duly tendered and delivered as described above shall be automatically cancelled upon the issuance of shares of Common Stock in exchange for such Warrants as part of completion of the Offer.

        Delivery of a Letter of Transmittal or any other required documentation to DTC does not constitute delivery to the exchange agent. See the section of this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange entitled "The Offer—Procedure for Tendering Warrants for Exchange—Timing and Manner of Deliveries."

Guaranteed Delivery Procedures

        If a registered holder of Warrants desires to tender its Warrants for exchange pursuant to the Offer, but (i) the procedure for book-entry transfer cannot be completed on a timely basis, or (ii) time will not permit all required documents to reach the exchange agent prior to the Expiration Date, the holder can still tender its Warrants if all the following conditions are met:

        In any case where the guaranteed delivery procedure is utilized for the tender of Warrants pursuant to the Offer, the issuance of Common Stock for those Warrants tendered for exchange pursuant to the Offer and accepted pursuant to the Offer will be made only if the exchange agent has timely received the applicable foregoing items.

Timing and Manner of Deliveries

        UNLESS THE GUARANTEED DELIVERY PROCEDURES DESCRIBED ABOVE ARE FOLLOWED, WARRANTS WILL BE PROPERLY TENDERED ONLY IF, BY THE EXPIRATION DATE, THE EXCHANGE AGENT RECEIVES SUCH WARRANTS BY BOOK-ENTRY TRANSFER, TOGETHER WITH A PROPERLY COMPLETED AND DULY EXECUTED LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL OR AN AGENT'S MESSAGE.

        ALL DELIVERIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE OFFER, INCLUDING ANY LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL AND THE TENDERED WARRANTS, MUST BE MADE TO THE EXCHANGE AGENT. NO DELIVERIES SHOULD BE MADE TO US. ANY DOCUMENTS DELIVERED TO US WILL NOT BE FORWARDED TO THE EXCHANGE AGENT AND THEREFORE WILL NOT BE DEEMED TO BE PROPERLY TENDERED. IN ALL CASES, SUFFICIENT TIME SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO ENSURE TIMELY DELIVERY.

        THE METHOD OF DELIVERY OF ALL REQUIRED DOCUMENTS IS AT THE OPTION AND RISK OF THE TENDERING WARRANT HOLDERS. IF DELIVERY IS BY MAIL, WE RECOMMEND REGISTERED MAIL WITH RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED (PROPERLY

18


Table of Contents

INSURED). IN ALL CASES, SUFFICIENT TIME SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO ASSURE TIMELY DELIVERY.

Determination of Validity

        All questions as to the form of documents and the validity, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance for exchange of any tender of Warrants will be determined by us, in our reasonable discretion, and our determination will be final and binding. We reserve the absolute right to reject any or all tenders of Warrants that we determine are not in proper form or reject tenders of Warrants that may, in the opinion of our counsel, be unlawful. We also reserve the absolute right to waive any defect or irregularity in any tender of any particular Warrant, whether or not similar defects or irregularities are waived in the case of other tendered Warrants. Neither we nor any other person will be under any duty to give notice of any defect or irregularity in tenders, nor shall any of us or them incur any liability for failure to give any such notice.

Fees and Commissions

        Tendering Warrant holders who tender Warrants directly to the exchange agent will not be obligated to pay any charges or expenses of the exchange agent, the dealer manager or any brokerage commissions. Beneficial owners who hold Warrants through a broker or bank should consult that institution as to whether or not such institution will charge the owner any service fees in connection with tendering Warrants on behalf of the owner pursuant to the Offer.

Transfer Taxes

        We will pay all transfer taxes, if any, applicable to the transfer of Warrants to us in the Offer. If transfer taxes are imposed for any other reason, the amount of those transfer taxes, whether imposed on the registered holder or any other persons, will be payable by the tendering holder. Other reasons transfer taxes could be imposed include (i) if shares of our Common Stock are to be registered or issued in the name of any person other than the person signing the Letter of Transmittal, or (ii) if tendered Warrants are registered in the name of any person other than the person signing the Letter of Transmittal. If satisfactory evidence of payment of or exemption from those transfer taxes is not submitted with the Letter of Transmittal, the amount of those transfer taxes will be billed directly to the tendering holder and/or withheld from any payment due with respect to the Warrants tendered by such holder.

Withdrawal Rights

        Tenders of Warrants made pursuant to the Offer may be withdrawn at any time prior to the Expiration Date. Tenders of Warrants may not be withdrawn after the Expiration Date. If the Offer Period is extended, you may withdraw your tendered Warrants at any time until the expiration of such extended Offer Period. After the Offer Period expires, such tenders are irrevocable, provided, however, that Warrants that are not accepted by us for exchange on or prior to December 17, 2018 may thereafter be withdrawn by you until such time as the Warrants are accepted by us for exchange.

        To be effective, a written notice of withdrawal must be timely received by the exchange agent at its address identified in this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange. Any notice of withdrawal must specify the name of the person who tendered the Warrants for which tenders are to be withdrawn and the number of Warrants to be withdrawn.

        If the Warrants to be withdrawn have been delivered to the exchange agent, a signed notice of withdrawal must be submitted prior to release of such Warrants. In addition, such notice must specify the name of the registered holder (if different from that of the tendering Warrant holder). Withdrawal may not be cancelled, and Warrants for which tenders are withdrawn will thereafter be deemed not

19


Table of Contents

validly tendered for purposes of the Offer. However, Warrants for which tenders are withdrawn may be tendered again by following one of the procedures described above in the section entitled "The Offer—Procedure for Tendering Warrants for Exchange" at any time prior to the Expiration Date.

        A beneficial owner of Warrants desiring to withdraw tendered Warrants previously delivered through DTC should contact the DTC participant through which such owner holds its Warrants. In order to withdraw Warrants previously tendered, a DTC participant may, prior to the Expiration Date, withdraw its instruction by (i) withdrawing its acceptance through DTC's Participant Tender Offer Program ("PTOP") function, or (ii) delivering to the exchange agent by mail, hand delivery or facsimile transmission, notice of withdrawal of such instruction. The notices of withdrawal must contain the name and number of the DTC participant. A withdrawal of an instruction must be executed by a DTC participant as such DTC participant's name appears on its transmission through the PTOP function to which such withdrawal relates. If the tender being withdrawn was made through ATOP, it may only be withdrawn through PTOP, and not by hard copy delivery of withdrawal instructions. A DTC participant may withdraw a tendered Warrant only if such withdrawal complies with the provisions described in this paragraph.

        A holder who tendered its Warrants other than through DTC should send written notice of withdrawal to the exchange agent specifying the name of the Warrant holder who tendered the Warrants being withdrawn. All signatures on a notice of withdrawal must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution, as described above in the section entitled "The Offer—Procedure for Tendering Warrants for Exchange—Signature Guarantees"; provided, however, that signatures on the notice of withdrawal need not be guaranteed if the Warrants being withdrawn are held for the account of an Eligible Institution. Withdrawal of a prior Warrant tender will be effective upon receipt of the notice of withdrawal by the exchange agent. Selection of the method of notification is at the risk of the Warrant holder, and notice of withdrawal must be timely received by the exchange agent.

        All questions as to the form and validity (including time of receipt) of any notice of withdrawal will be determined by us, in our sole discretion, which determination shall be final and binding. Neither we nor any other person will be under any duty to give notification of any defect or irregularity in any notice of withdrawal or incur any liability for failure to give any such notification.

Acceptance for Issuance of Shares

        Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, we will accept for exchange Warrants validly tendered until the Expiration Date, which is 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on December 6, 2018, or such later time and date to which we may extend. The Common Stock to be issued upon exchange of Warrants pursuant to the Offer, along with written notice from Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company confirming the balance of any Warrants not exchanged, will be delivered promptly following the Expiration Date. In all cases, Warrants will only be accepted for exchange pursuant to the Offer after timely receipt by the exchange agent of (i) book-entry delivery of the tendered Warrants, (ii) a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal, or compliance with ATOP where applicable, (iii) any other documentation required by the Letter of Transmittal, and (iv) any required signature guarantees.

20


Table of Contents

        For purposes of the Offer, we will be deemed to have accepted for exchange Warrants that are validly tendered and for which tenders are not withdrawn, unless we give written notice to the Warrant holder of our non-acceptance.

Announcement of Results of the Offer

        We will announce the final results of the Offer, including whether all of the conditions to the Offer have been satisfied or waived and whether we will accept the tendered Warrants for exchange, as promptly as practicable following the end of the Offer Period. The announcement will be made by a press release and by amendment to the Schedule TO we file with the SEC in connection with the Offer.

Background and Purpose of the Offer

        A special committee designated by and with the authority of our Board of Directors, consisting of only disinterested directors with respect to the Offer, approved the Offer on November 6, 2018.

        The purpose of the Offer is to provide an opportunity for Warrant holders to realize value and increased liquidity by transitioning on a cashless basis into shares of our Common Stock which have been registered with the SEC. Completion of this Offer will simplify our capital structure, increase the public float of our Common Stock and continue to diversify our shareholder base, which we believe will provide us with more flexibility for financing our operations and growth opportunities in the future.

TDR Capital manages TDR Capital II Holdings, L.P. ("TDR Capital II"), the investment fund which is the ultimate beneficial owner of Sapphire. TDR Capital controls all of the TDR Capital II's voting rights in respect of its investments and no one else has equivalent control over the investments. TDR Capital II's investors are passive investors (as they are limited partners) and no investor directly or indirectly beneficially owns 20% or more of the shares or voting rights through their investment in the fund. TDR Capital is run by its board and investment committee which consists of the partners of the firm. Mr. Robertson may be deemed to beneficially own the securities held by Sapphire through his ability to either vote or direct the vote of the securities or dispose or direct the disposition of the securities, either through his role at TDR Capital II, contract, understanding or otherwise. Mr. Robertson disclaims beneficial ownership of such securities, except to the extent of his pecuniary interests therein.

Holders

        As of November 6, 2018, there were approximately 65 holders of record of our Common Stock and approximately 12 holders of record of the Warrants. Such numbers do not include Depository Trust Company participants or beneficial owners holding shares through nominee names.

Dividends

        We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our Common Stock and we do not anticipate declaring or paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The payment of cash dividends will be dependent upon our revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and general financial condition. The determination of whether or not we pay any cash dividends from time to time is within the discretion of our board of directors. Further, our ability to declare dividends may be limited by restrictive covenants under our financing arrangements.

Source and Amount of Funds

        Because this transaction is an offer to holders to exchange their existing Warrants for our Common Stock, there is no source of funds or other cash consideration being paid by us to, or to us from, those tendering Warrant holders pursuant to the Offer, other than the amount of cash paid in lieu of a fractional share in the Offer. We estimate that the total amount of cash required to complete the transactions contemplated by the Offer, including the payment of any fees, expenses and other related amounts incurred in connection with the transactions and the payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares will be less than approximately $2,000,000. We expect to have sufficient funds to complete the transactions contemplated by the Offer and to pay fees, expenses and other related amounts from our cash on hand.

Exchange Agent

        Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company has been appointed the exchange agent for the Offer. The Letter of Transmittal and all correspondence in connection with the Offer should be sent or delivered by each holder of the Warrants, or a beneficial owner's custodian bank, depositary, broker,

Dealer Manager

        We have retained Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. to act as dealer manager in connection with the Offer and will pay the dealer manager a fee of $500,000 plus $0.01 per Warrant tendered as compensation for its services. We will also reimburse the dealer manager for certain expenses in an amount up to $200,000. The obligations of the dealer manager to perform this function are subject to certain conditions. We have agreed to indemnify the dealer manager against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the federal securities laws. Questions about the terms of the Offer may be directed to the dealer manager at its address and telephone number set forth on the back cover page of this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange.

        The dealer manager and its affiliates are full service financial institutions engaged in various activities, which may include sales and trading, commercial and investment banking, advisory, investment management, investment research, principal investment, hedging, market making, brokerage and other financial and non-financial activities and services. The dealer manager and its affiliates have provided, and may in the future provide, a variety of these services to us and to persons and entities with relationships with us, for which they have received or will receive customary fees and expenses.

        In the ordinary course of their various business activities, the dealer manager and its affiliates, officers, directors and employees may purchase, sell or hold a broad array of investments and actively traded securities, derivatives, loans, commodities, currencies, credit default swaps and other financial instruments for their own account and for the accounts of their customers, and such investment and trading activities may involve or relate to assets, securities and/or instruments of us (directly, as collateral securing other obligations or otherwise) and/or persons and entities with relationships with us. The dealer manager and its affiliates may also communicate independent investment recommendations, market color or trading ideas and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such assets, securities or instruments and may at any time hold, or recommend to clients that they should acquire, long and/or short positions in such assets, securities and instruments.

        In the ordinary course of its business, the dealer manager or its affiliates may at any time hold long or short positions, and may engage in regular market making activities or trade for their own accounts or the accounts of customers, in securities of WillScot Corporation, including Warrants, and, to the extent that the dealer manager or its affiliates own Warrants during the Offer, they may tender such Warrants under the terms of the Offer.

        You will not be required to pay any fees or commissions to the Company, the dealer manager, the exchange agent or the information agent in connection with the Offer. If your Warrants are held through a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee that tenders your Warrants on your behalf, your broker or other nominee may charge you a commission for doing so. You should consult your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee to determine whether any charges will apply.

Transactions and Agreements Concerning Our Securities

        Other than as set forth below and in the section of this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange entitled "Description of Capital Stock" and in the section of the 2017 10-K entitled "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, which is incorporated herein by reference, and as set forth in our Certificate of Incorporation, there are no agreements, arrangements or understandings between the Company, or any of our directors or executive officers, and any other person with respect to our securities that are the subject of the Offer.

Securities Transactions

        On September 17, 2018, DEAL made a pro rata distribution to its members of 4,850,000 Private Warrants, of which 3,880,000 were distributed to Mr. Jeff Sagansky, a member of our board of directors. As managing member of DEAL, Mr. Sagansky may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the securities held by DEAL.

        On September 18, 2018, Mr. Fredric Rosen, a member of our board of directors, sold 1,300,000 Private Warrants, of which 1,000,000 were sold to Mr. Jeff Sagansky.

        Otherwise, except as set forth in the section of the 2017 10-K entitled "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions," which is incorporated herein by reference, neither we, nor any of our directors, executive officers or controlling persons, or any executive officers, directors, managers or partners of any of our controlling persons, has engaged in any transactions in our Warrants in the last 60 days.

Plans

        Except as described in the sections of this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange entitled "Risk Factors" and "The Offer," neither the Company, nor any of its directors, executive officers, or controlling persons, or any executive officers, directors, managers or partners of its controlling persons, has any plans, proposals or negotiations that relate to or would result in:

Table of Contents

Registration under the Exchange Act

        The Warrants currently are registered under the Exchange Act. This registration may be terminated upon application by us to the SEC if there are fewer than 300 record holders of the Warrants. We currently do not intend to deregister the Warrants, if any, that remain outstanding after completion of the Offer. Notwithstanding any termination of the registration of our Warrants, we will continue to be subject to the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act as a result of the continuing registration of our Common Stock.

Accounting Treatment

        The Company previously classified the Warrants as paid-in-capital as the Warrants issued in connection with the IPO were considered part of a value for value exchange. There was no fair value adjustment to retained earnings and no earnings per share impact.

        There is no additional cash consideration paid or received specific to the exchange described in the Offer. If the fair value of the Common Stock is equal to the fair value of the Warrants exchanged, an additional incentive is not considered to be present and the financial statements will reflect the additional shares issued as an allocation from paid-in-capital to par. If the fair value of the Common Stock is greater than the fair value of the Warrants exchanged, an incentive is considered to be present in addition to the exchange of Common Stock. The difference in fair value between the Common Stock issued and the Warrants exchanges will be recorded in the financials consistent with the Company's relationship to the applicable Warrant holders. The Offer does not modify any terms of the Warrant Agreement or the current accounting treatment for the un-exchanged warrants.

Absence of Appraisal or Dissenters' Rights

        Holders of the Warrants do not have any appraisal or dissenters' rights under applicable law in connection with the Offer.

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

General

        The following description summarizes the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the receipt of Common Stock in exchange for the Warrants pursuant to the Offer and the ownership and disposition of the Common Stock. This description assumes that holders hold the Warrants, and will hold the Common Stock received upon exchange of the Warrants, as capital assets (generally, property held for investment). This description does not address all of the tax consequences that might be relevant to a holder's particular circumstances or to holders that may be subject to special tax rules, such as banks or other financial institutions, insurance companies, real estate investment trusts, regulated investment companies, tax exempt organizations, dealers in securities, traders in securities that elect to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for their securities holdings, persons who hold Common Stock or Warrants as part of a "straddle," hedging transaction, conversion transaction, or other similar integrated transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes, persons subject to special tax accounting rules as a result of any item of gross income with respect to the stock being taken into account in an applicable financial statement, or U.S. holders (as defined below) that have a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar.

26


Table of Contents

        If a partnership (or any other entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds Common Stock or Warrants, the tax treatment of the partnership and a partner in such partnership generally will depend on the status of the partner and the nature of the activities of the partnership. A holder that is a partnership, and the partners in such partnerships, should consult its tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of the receipt of Common Stock in the exchange and the ownership and disposition of Common Stock received in the exchange.

        This description does not address the tax consequences arising under the laws of any foreign, state, or local tax jurisdiction. Moreover, except to the extent specifically set forth below, this description does not address the U.S. federal estate and gift tax, or alternative minimum tax, or other non-income tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of Common Stock received upon exchange of the Warrants.

        This description is based on the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), existing and proposed Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, judicial decisions, published positions of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS"), and other applicable authorities, each as in effect on the date hereof. These authorities are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect, or differing interpretations by the IRS or a court, which could affect the tax consequences described herein. We have not obtained, and have no plans to request, a ruling from the IRS with respect to any of the U.S. federal income tax consequences described below, and as a result, there can be no assurance that the IRS or the courts will agree with any of the conclusions stated in this description.

        This description is for general information only and is not tax advice. It is not intended to constitute a complete description of all tax consequences for holders relating to the exchange of Warrants for our Common Stock or relating to the ownership and disposition of our Common Stock. You are urged to consult with your tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the receipt of Common Stock in exchange for the Warrants and of the ownership and disposition of such Common Stock, applicable in your particular situation, as well as any consequences under the federal estate or gift tax, the federal alternative minimum tax, or under the tax laws of any state, local, foreign, or other taxing jurisdiction.

Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders

        Subject to the limitations stated above, the following description addresses certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the receipt of Common Stock in exchange for the Warrants and of the ownership and disposition of our Common Stock, that are expected to apply if you are a U.S. holder of the Warrants or our Common Stock. For this purpose, you are a "U.S. holder" if you are for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

Table of Contents

Exchange of Warrants for Common Stock

        For those holders of Warrants participating in the Offer, we intend to treat your exchange of Warrants for our Common Stock as a "recapitalization" within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(E) of the Code pursuant to which (i) you should not recognize any gain or loss on the exchange of Warrants for shares of our Common Stock, (ii) your aggregate tax basis in the shares received in the exchange should equal your aggregate tax basis in your Warrants surrendered in the exchange (except to the extent of any tax basis allocated to a fractional share for which a cash payment is received in connection with the Offer), and (iii) your holding period for the shares received in the exchange should include your holding period for the surrendered Warrants. Special tax basis and holding period rules apply to holders that acquired different blocks of Warrants at different prices or at different times. You should consult your tax advisor as to the applicability of these special rules to your particular circumstances. Any cash you receive in lieu of a fractional share of our Common Stock pursuant to the Offer should generally result in gain or loss to you equal to the difference between the cash received and your tax basis in the fractional share. Because there is a lack of direct legal authority regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the exchange of Warrants for our Common Stock, there can be no assurance in this regard and alternative characterizations by the IRS or a court are possible, including ones that would require U.S. holders to recognize taxable income. If our treatment of the exchange of Warrants for our Common Stock were successfully challenged by the IRS and such exchange were not treated as a recapitalization for United States federal income tax purposes, exchanging U.S. holders may be subject to taxation in a manner analogous to the rules applicable to dispositions of Common Stock described below under "Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders—Ownership and Disposition of Common Stock" and exchanging non-U.S. holders may be subject to taxation in a manner analogous to the rules applicable to dispositions of Common Stock described below under "Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders—Ownership and Disposition of Common Stock."

        Although we believe the exchange of Warrants for Common Stock pursuant to the Offer is a value-for-value transaction, because of the uncertainty inherent in any valuation, there can be no assurance that the IRS or a court would agree. If the IRS or a court were to view the exchange pursuant to the Offer as the issuance of Common Stock to an exchanging holder having a value in excess of the Warrants surrendered by such holder, such excess value could be viewed as a constructive dividend under Section 305 of the Code. Although not free from doubt, it is expected that such constructive dividend, if any, should be considered a dividend of common stock on common stock, which generally should be nontaxable.

Ownership and Disposition of Common Stock

        Dividends.    We do not anticipate paying dividends on our Common Stock. Distributions of cash or property that we pay on our Common Stock will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles) and will be includible in your gross income as ordinary dividend income when actually or constructively received by you. Distributions in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits will be treated first as a tax-free return of capital to the extent of your tax basis in our Common Stock, and thereafter will be treated as capital gain from the sale or exchange of the Common Stock. If you are a non-corporate U.S. holder, dividends you receive with respect to our Common Stock are eligible for U.S. federal income taxation at the rates generally applicable to long-term capital gains for individuals, provided that you satisfy applicable holding period and other requirements. If you are a corporate U.S. holder, dividends you receive with respect to our Common Stock will be taxable at regular rates.

        Sale or Exchange.    Upon a sale or other taxable disposition of our Common Stock, you generally will recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between (i) the amount of cash and the fair market value of any property you receive on the disposition and (ii) your adjusted tax basis for the

28


Table of Contents

Common Stock. The capital gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if you held the Common Stock for more than one year. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

Tax on Net Investment Income

        A 3.8% Medicare contribution tax will generally apply to all or some portion of the net investment income of a U.S. holder who is an individual with adjusted gross income that exceeds a threshold amount. In the case of individuals, a 3.8% tax is imposed for each taxable year on the lesser of (a) net investment income for the year or (b) the modified adjusted gross income for such year in excess of a threshold amount. For these purposes, dividends received with respect to our Common Stock, and gains or losses realized from the taxable disposition of our Common Stock, will generally be taken into account in computing your net investment income.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

        In general, dividends you receive with respect to our Common Stock, and amounts you receive with respect to a sale or other disposition of our Common Stock, are reported to the IRS and to you, unless you are an exempt payee and the payment is not subject to backup withholding. Such dividends and other amounts may be subject to backup withholding, and subject to related information reporting with respect to otherwise exempt payees, unless you provide to us (i) your correct taxpayer identification number and certification (on Form W-9) that you are not subject to backup withholding, or (ii) proof that you are an exempt payee. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld from a payment under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a credit against your U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle you to a refund, provided you timely furnish the required information or returns to the IRS.

        U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding information reporting obligations applicable to the exchange of the Warrants pursuant to the Offer and the ownership and disposition of our Common Stock.

Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders

        Subject to the limitations stated above, the following description addresses certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the receipt of Common Stock in exchange for the Warrants and of the ownership and disposition of our Common Stock, that are expected to apply if you are a non-U.S. holder of the Warrants or our Common Stock. For this purpose, you are a "non-U.S. holder" if you are an individual, corporation, estate, or trust that is not a U.S. holder as defined above. Special rules may apply to certain non-U.S. holders such as "controlled foreign corporations," "passive foreign investment companies," individuals present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of disposition (but who are not U.S. residents) or, in certain circumstances, individuals who are former U.S. citizens or residents.

Exchange of Warrants for Common Stock

        Your exchange of Warrants for our Common Stock pursuant to the Offer should generally have the same tax consequences as described above for U.S. holders. Capital gain or loss you recognize with respect to the receipt of cash in lieu of fractional shares should not be subject to U.S. federal income tax except in the circumstances described below under "Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders—Ownership and Disposition of Common Stock—Sale or Exchange" below.

Ownership and Disposition of Common Stock

Dividends.

        In general, any distributions made to a non-U.S. holder on our Common Stock, to the extent paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles), will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes and, provided such dividends are not effectively connected with the non-U.S. holder's conduct of a trade or business within the United States, will be subject to withholding tax from the gross amount of the dividend at a rate of 30%, unless such non-U.S. holder is eligible for a reduced rate of withholding tax under an applicable income tax treaty and provides proper certification of its eligibility for such reduced rate (usually on an IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable). A non-U.S. holder that does not timely furnish the required documentation, but that qualifies for a reduced treaty rate, may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld by timely filing an appropriate claim for refund with the IRS. Any distribution not constituting a dividend will be treated first as reducing (but not below zero) the non-U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis in its Common Stock and, to the extent such distribution exceeds the non-U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis, as gain realized from the sale or other disposition of the Common Stock, which will be treated as described under "Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders—Ownership and Disposition of Common Stock—Sale or Exchange" below.

        Dividends paid to a non-U.S. holder that are effectively connected with such non-U.S. holder's conduct of a trade or business within the United States (or, if a tax treaty applies, are attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by the non-U.S. holder) will generally not be subject to U.S. withholding tax, provided such non-U.S. holder complies with certain certification and disclosure requirements (usually by providing an IRS Form W-8ECI). Instead, such dividends will generally be subject to U.S. federal income tax, net of certain deductions, at the same graduated individual or corporate rates applicable to U.S. holders. If the non-U.S. holder is a corporation, dividends that are effectively connected income may also be subject to a "branch profits tax".

Sale or Exchange.

        A non-U.S. holder will generally not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on gain realized on a sale or other disposition of our Common Stock unless:

        With respect to clause (iii) above, we believe we currently are not, and do not anticipate becoming, a U.S. real property holding corporation. Because the determination of whether we are a U.S. real property holding corporation depends, however, on the fair market value of our U.S. real property

30


Table of Contents

interests relative to the fair market value of our non-U.S. real property interests and our other business assets, there can be no assurance we currently are not a U.S. real property holding corporation or will not become one in the future. Even if we are or were to become a U.S. real property holding corporation, gain arising from the sale or other disposition by a non-U.S. holder of our Common Stock will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax if our common stock is "regularly traded," as defined by applicable Treasury Regulations, on an established securities market, and such non-U.S. holder owned, actually and constructively, 5% or less of our Common Stock throughout the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of the sale or other taxable disposition or the non-U.S. holder's holding period.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

        In general, dividends you receive with respect to our Common Stock, and any U.S. federal withholding tax withheld with respect to those dividends, are reported to the IRS and to you, regardless of whether withholding is reduced or eliminated by an applicable income tax treaty. Copies of this information reporting may also be provided under the provisions of a specific tax treaty, or under the provisions of a tax information exchange agreement, to the tax authorities in the country in which you reside or are established. Amounts you receive from of a sale or other disposition of our Common Stock effected through the U.S. office of any broker (as defined in applicable Treasury Regulations) or from a sale or other disposition conducted outside the United States through certain U.S.-related brokers, are also reported to the IRS and to you.

        You will generally be exempt from backup withholding on dividends and other amounts you receive with respect to our Common Stock if you provide a certification (on an applicable IRS Form W-8) or proof of exempt status as described above with respect to U.S. federal income tax withholding. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules from a payment will be allowed as a credit against your U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle you to a refund, provided you timely furnish the required information or returns to the IRS.

Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act

        Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations and administrative guidance promulgated thereunder (commonly referred as the "Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act" or "FATCA") generally impose withholding at a rate of 30% in certain circumstances on dividends in respect of, and, after December 31, 2018, gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of, securities (including our Common Stock) which are held by or through certain foreign financial institutions (including investment funds), unless any such institution (i) enters into, and complies with, an agreement with the IRS to report, on an annual basis, information with respect to interests in, and accounts maintained by, the institution that are owned by certain U.S. persons and by certain non-U.S. entities that are wholly or partially owned by U.S. persons and to withhold on certain payments, or (ii) if required under an intergovernmental agreement between the United States and an applicable foreign country, reports such information to its local tax authority, which will exchange such information with the U.S. authorities. An intergovernmental agreement between the United States and an applicable foreign country may modify these requirements. Accordingly, the entity through which our Common Stock is held will affect the determination of whether such withholding is required. Similarly, dividends in respect of, and, after December 31, 2018, gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of, our Common Stock held by an investor that is a non-financial non-U.S. entity that does not qualify under certain exceptions will generally be subject to withholding at a rate of 30%, unless such entity either (i) certifies to the applicable withholding agent that such entity does not have any "substantial United States owners" or (ii) provides certain information regarding the entity's

"substantial United States owners," which will in turn be provided to the U.S. Department of Treasury. All holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the possible implications of FATCA.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

        The following is a description of our capital stock and certain provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws and certain provisions of applicable law. The following is only a summary and is qualified by applicable law and by the provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, copies of which are included as exhibits to the registration statement of which this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange forms a part. We are incorporated in the State of Delaware. The rights of our stockholders are generally covered by Delaware law and our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws. The terms of our capital stock are therefore subject to Delaware law, including the Delaware General Corporation Law.

Authorized and Outstanding Stock

        Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of 501,000,000 shares of capital stock, consisting of (i) 500,000,000 shares of common stock, including 400,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 100,000,000 shares of Class B common stock (our "Class B Common Stock") and (ii) 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock.

Common Stock

        This section describes the general terms and provisions of our Common Stock. For more detailed information, you should refer to our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, copies of which have been filed with the SEC. These documents are also incorporated by reference into the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

        The holders of shares of common stock possess all voting power for the election of our directors and all other matters requiring stockholder action and will at all times vote together as one class on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Company. Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share on matters to be voted on by stockholders. Holders of Common Stock will be entitled to receive dividends if and when declared by our Board out of funds legally available therefor and shall share equally on a per share basis in such dividends and distributions. Holders of Class B Common Stock are not entitled to share in any such dividends or other distributions. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our Company, the holders of the Common Stock will be entitled to receive an equal amount per share of all of our assets available for distribution, after the rights of the holders of any Preferred Stock have been satisfied. Holders of Class B Common Stock are not entitled to receive any portion of such assets in respect of their shares of Class B Common Stock. Our stockholders have no preemptive or other subscription rights and there are no sinking fund or redemption provisions applicable to our common stock.

Preferred Stock

        This section describes the general terms and provisions of our Preferred Stock. For more detailed information, you should refer to our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, copies of which have been filed with the SEC. These documents are also incorporated by reference into the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

        Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. Our Board can fix the rights, preferences and privileges applicable to the shares of each series and any of its qualifications, limitations or restrictions. Our Board is authorized, without stockholder approval, to issue Preferred Stock with voting and other rights that could adversely affect the voting power and other rights of the holders of the Common Stock and could have anti-takeover effects. The ability of our Board to issue Preferred Stock without stockholder approval could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of us or the removal of existing management. We have no Preferred Stock outstanding at the date hereof.

33


Table of Contents

        Our board of directors will fix the designations, voting powers, preferences and rights of each series, as well as the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, of the Preferred Stock of each series that we offer under this prospectus and applicable prospectus supplements in the certificate of designation relating to that series. We will file as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, or will incorporate by reference from reports that we file with the SEC, the form of any certificate of designation that describes the terms of the series of Preferred Stock we are offering before the issuance of that series of Preferred Stock. This description will include:

34


Table of Contents

        The General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the state of our incorporation, provides that the holders of Preferred Stock will have the right to vote separately as a class (or, in some cases, as a series) on an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation if the amendment would change the par value or, unless the Certificate of Incorporation provided otherwise, the number of authorized shares of the class or change the powers, preferences or special rights of the class or series so as to adversely affect the class or series, as the case may be. This right is in addition to any voting rights that may be provided for in the applicable certificate of designation.

Warrants

        As of November 6, 2018, we had outstanding warrants exercisable for 44,749,847 shares of Common Stock, consisting of: (i) 50,899,693 Public Warrants; (ii) 18,600,001 Private Warrants, each exercisable for one-half of one share of common stock at an exercise price of $5.75 per half share ($11.50 per whole share); and (iii) 10,000,000 ModSpace Warrants, each exercisable for one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $15.50 per share, issued in connection with the ModSpace Acquisition, as defined above. The ModSpace Warrants are not subject to this Offer.

        The Public Warrants and Private Warrants were issued under the Warrant Agreement. You should review a copy of the Warrant Agreement, which is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange forms a part, for a complete description of the terms and conditions applicable to such warrants.

Public Warrants

        Each Public Warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one-half of one share of our Common Stock at a price of $5.75 per half share, subject to adjustment as discussed below, at any time. In addition, Public Warrants must be exercised for a whole share. For example, if a warrant holder holds two Public Warrants, such Public Warrants will be exercisable for one share of the Company's Common Stock. The Public Warrants will expire on November 29, 2022 (i.e., five years after the completion of the Business Combination), at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

        We are not obligated to deliver any shares of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of a Public Warrant and will have no obligation to settle such warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the shares of Common Stock underlying the warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to our satisfying our obligations described below with respect to registration. No Public Warrant will be exercisable and we will not be obligated to issue any shares of Common Stock to holders seeking to exercise their Public Warrants, unless the issuance of the shares upon such exercise has been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the warrants. In the event that the conditions in the two immediately preceding sentences are not satisfied with respect to a Public Warrant, the holder of such Public Warrant will not be entitled to exercise such Public Warrant and such Public Warrant may have no value and expire worthless. In no event will we be required to net cash settle any Public Warrant.

        We will use our best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement that provides for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of the Public Warrants in accordance with the provisions of the Warrant Agreement. Notwithstanding the above, if our Common Stock is at the time of any exercise of a Public Warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that it satisfies the definition of a "covered security" under Section 18(b)(1) of

35


Table of Contents

the Securities Act, we may, at our option, require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their Public Warrants to do so a "cashless basis" in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event we so elect, we will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, or register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws.

        We may call the Public Warrants for redemption:

        If and when the Public Warrants become redeemable by us, we may exercise our redemption right even if we are unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.

        If the foregoing conditions are satisfied and we issue a notice of redemption of the Public Warrants, each Public Warrant holder will be entitled to exercise his, her or its Public Warrants prior to the scheduled redemption date. However, the price of the Common Stock may fall below the $18.00 redemption trigger price as well as the $11.50 Public Warrant exercise price (for whole shares) after the redemption notice is issued.

        If we call the Public Warrants for redemption as described above, our management will have the option to require any holder that wishes to exercise his, her or its Public Warrant to do so on a "cashless basis." In determining whether to require all holders to exercise their Public Warrants on a "cashless basis," our management will consider, among other factors, our cash position, the number of Public Warrants that are outstanding and the dilutive effect on our stockholders of issuing the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of our Public Warrants. If our management takes advantage of this option, all holders of Public Warrants would pay the exercise price by surrendering their Public Warrants for that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the Public Warrant, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the Public Warrant and the "fair market value" (defined below) by (y) the fair market value. The "fair market value" means the average reported closing price of the Common Stock for the ten trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of Public Warrants. If our management takes advantage of this option, the notice of redemption will contain the information necessary to calculate the number of shares of Common Stock to be received upon exercise of the Public Warrants, including the "fair market value" in such case. Requiring a cashless exercise in this manner will reduce the number of shares to be issued and thereby lessen the dilutive effect of a warrant redemption. If we call our Public Warrants for redemption and our management does not take advantage of this option, the holders of our Private Warrants, their affiliates and certain permitted transferees would still be entitled to exercise their Private Warrants for cash or on a cashless basis using the same formula described above that other Public Warrant holders would have been required to use had all Public Warrant holders been required to exercise their Public Warrants on a cashless basis, as described in more detail below.

        A holder of a Public Warrant may notify us in writing in the event it elects to be subject to a requirement that such holder will not have the right to exercise such Public Warrant, to the extent that

36


Table of Contents

after giving effect to such exercise, such person (together with such person's affiliates), to the Public Warrant agent's actual knowledge, would beneficially own in excess of 4.9% or 9.8% (as specified by the holder) of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise.

        If the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is increased by a stock dividend payable in shares of Common Stock, or by a split-up of shares of Common Stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such stock dividend, split-up or similar event, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of each Public Warrant will be increased in proportion to such increase in the outstanding shares of Common Stock. A rights offering to holders of Common Stock entitling holders to purchase shares of Common Stock at a price less than the fair market value will be deemed a stock dividend of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock actually sold in such rights offering (or issuable under any other equity securities sold in such rights offering that are convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock) multiplied by (ii) the quotient of (x) the price per share of Common Stock paid in such rights offering divided by (y) the fair market value. For these purposes (i) if the rights offering is for securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock, in determining the price payable for Common Stock, there will be taken into account any consideration received for such rights, as well as any additional amount payable upon exercise or conversion and (ii) fair market value means the volume weighted average price of Common Stock as reported during the ten (10) trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the first date on which the shares of Common Stock trade on the applicable exchange or in the applicable market, regular way, without the right to receive such rights.

        In addition, if we, at any time while the Public Warrants are outstanding and unexpired, pay a dividend or make a distribution in cash, securities or other assets to the holders of Common Stock on account of such shares of Common Stock (or other securities into which the Public Warrants are convertible), other than (a) as described above, (b) certain ordinary cash dividends, or (c) to satisfy the redemption rights of the holders of Common Stock in connection with the Business Combination, then the Public Warrant exercise price will be decreased, effective immediately after the effective date of such event, by the amount of cash and/or the fair market value of any securities or other assets paid on each share of Common Stock in respect of such event.

        If the number of outstanding shares of our Common Stock is decreased by a consolidation, combination, reverse stock split or reclassification of shares of Common Stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such consolidation, combination, reverse stock split, reclassification or similar event, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of each Public Warrant will be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares of Common Stock.

        Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the Public Warrants is adjusted, as described above, the Public Warrant exercise price will be adjusted by multiplying the Public Warrant exercise price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (x) the numerator of which will be the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the Public Warrants immediately prior to such adjustment, and (y) the denominator of which will be the number of shares of Common Stock so purchasable immediately thereafter.

        In case of any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than those described above or that solely affects the par value of such shares of Common Stock), or in the case of any merger or consolidation of us with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which we are the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or reorganization of our outstanding shares of Common Stock), or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation or entity of the assets or other property of us as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in connection with which we are dissolved, the holders of the Public Warrants will thereafter have the right to purchase and receive, upon the basis and upon the terms and

37


Table of Contents

conditions specified in the Public Warrants and in lieu of the shares of our Common Stock immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented thereby, the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization, merger or consolidation, or upon a dissolution following any such sale or transfer, that the holder of the Public Warrants would have received if such holder had exercised its Public Warrants immediately prior to such event. If less than seventy percent (70%) of the consideration receivable by the holders of Common Stock in such a transaction is payable in the form of Common Stock in the successor entity that is listed for trading on a national securities exchange or is quoted in an established over-the-counter market, or is to be so listed for trading or quoted immediately following such event, and if the registered holder of the Public Warrant properly exercises the Public Warrant within thirty (30) days following public disclosure of such transaction, the Public Warrant exercise price will be reduced as specified in the Warrant Agreement based on the Black-Scholes value (as defined in the Warrant Agreement) of the Public Warrant.

        The Public Warrants have been issued under the Warrant Agreement. You should review a copy of the Warrant Agreement, which is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange is part, for a complete description of the terms and conditions applicable to the Public Warrants. The Warrant Agreement provides that the terms of the Public Warrants may be amended without the consent of any holder to cure any ambiguity or correct any defective provision, but requires the approval by the holders of at least 65% of the then outstanding Public Warrants to make any change that adversely affects the interests of the registered holders of Public Warrants.

        The Public Warrants may be exercised upon surrender of the Public Warrant certificate on or prior to the expiration date at the offices of the Public Warrant agent, with the exercise form on the reverse side of the Public Warrant certificate completed and executed as indicated, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price (or on a cashless basis, if applicable), by certified or official bank check payable to us, for the number of Public Warrants being exercised. The Public Warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of Common Stock and any voting rights until they exercise their Public Warrants and receive shares of Common Stock. After the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Public Warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders.

        Public Warrants may be exercised only for a whole number of shares of Common Stock. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Public Warrants. If, upon exercise of the Public Warrants, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, we will, upon exercise, round down to the nearest whole number the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Public Warrant holder.

Private Warrants

        The founders of Double Eagle and its former independent directors purchased 19,500,000 Private Warrants at a price of $0.50 per Private Warrant for an aggregate purchase price of $9,750,000 in a private placement that occurred simultaneously with the IPO. Pursuant to the terms of an Earnout Agreement that was entered into by and among Sapphire, DEAL, Harry E. Sloan and us on November 29, 2017 in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, 4,850,000 Private Warrants were released from escrow and transferred to Sapphire on August 15, 2018. The Warrant Agreement provides that the Private Warrants may be exercised at any time. So long as the Private Warrants are held by the initial stockholders or their permitted transferees, such warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis and will not be redeemable by us. If the Private Warrants are held by holders other than the initial holders, their affiliates or certain permitted transferees, the Private Warrants will be redeemable by us and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants. Otherwise, the Private Warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the Public Warrants.

38


Table of Contents

        If holders of the Private Warrants elect to exercise them on a cashless basis, they would pay the exercise price by surrendering his, her or its warrants for that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the warrants and the "fair market value" (defined below) by (y) the fair market value. The "fair market value" means the average last sale price of the Common Stock for the ten (10) trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of warrant exercise is sent to the warrant agent.

ModSpace Warrants

        The ModSpace Warrants entitle the registered holder to purchase shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $15.50 per share on a one to one basis, which may be adjusted in the event of an increase in the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock by share dividends (or a share split up or the payment of extraordinary dividends), a decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock by a consolidation, reverse split or similar transaction and in the in the event of certain reorganization transactions. Under the ModSpace Warrant Agreement, the ModSpace Warrants are not redeemable and may be replaced for replacement securities upon the occurrence of certain reorganization transactions of ours (other than those that would lead to an adjustment in the exercise price of the ModSpace Warrants). The ModSpace Warrants become exercisable on February 11, 2019, the 180th day after closing of the ModSpace Acquisition, and expire on November 29, 2022. The ModSpace Warrants are not subject to this Offer.

Registration Rights

        In connection with the closing of the Business Combination, we, Sapphire, and certain other parties named on the signature pages thereto, entered into the a registration rights agreement (the "2017 Registration Rights Agreement") that amends and restates that certain registration rights agreement, dated September 10, 2015 by and among Double Eagle and certain of its initial investors and provides such initial investors and Sapphire with certain demand, shelf and piggyback registration rights covering all shares of Common Stock owned by each holder, until such shares cease to be "Registrable Securities" as defined in the 2017 Registration Rights Agreement. The Registration Rights Agreement provides each of Sapphire and certain of the initial investors (the "Initiating Holders") the right to request an unlimited number of demands, at any time following the closing of the Business Combination and customary shelf registration rights, subject to certain conditions. In addition, the agreement grants each of Sapphire and the Initiating Holders, piggyback registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the closing of the Business Combination. We are responsible for all Registration Expenses (as defined in the 2017 Registration Rights Agreement) in connection with any demand, shelf or piggyback registration by any of Sapphire or the Initiating Holders.

        In connection with the closing of the ModSpace Acquisition, we entered into a registration rights agreement (the "2018 Registration Rights Agreement") by and among the Company and the ModSpace Investors (as defined therein) who received the Common Stock and ModSpace Warrants as part of the consideration for the ModSpace Acquisition. The 2018 Registration Rights Agreement provides the ModSpace Investors with the right to request an unlimited number of demands at any time following the Closing Date and customary shelf registration rights, subject to certain conditions. In addition, the 2018 Registration Rights Agreement grants the ModSpace Investors certain piggyback registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the Closing Date. The Company is responsible for all Registration Expenses (as defined in the 2018 Registration Rights Agreement) in connection with any demand, shelf or piggyback registration by the ModSpace Investors. The registration rights under the 2018 Registration Rights Agreement are subordinate to the registration rights granted to the investor parties to the 2017 Registration Rights Agreement. Under the 2018

Registration Rights Agreement, prior to the six month anniversary of the closing of the ModSpace Acquisition, (i) the ModSpace Investors agree to not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or any portion of such holder's shares of Common Stock, except to a Permitted Transferee (as defined in the 2018 Registration Rights Agreement), and (ii) the Company agreed to file a registration statement, and to use its reasonable best efforts to cause it to become effective by the six-month anniversary, with respect to the ModSpace Warrants (including the Common Shares underlying the ModSpace Warrants) and the resale thereof.

LEGAL MATTERS

        The validity of the Common Stock covered by this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange has been passed upon for us by Allen & Overy LLP. Certain legal matters relating to the securities offered hereby will be passed upon for the dealer manager by Latham & Watkins LLP.


EXPERTS

        The consolidated financial statements of WillScot Corporation appearing in the WillScot Corporation's Annual Report (Form 10-K) for the year ended December 31, 2017 have been audited by Ernst & Young LLP ("EY"), independent registered public accounting firm, as set forth in their report thereon, included therein, and incorporated herein by reference. Such consolidated financial statements are incorporated herein by reference in reliance upon such report given on the authority of such firm as experts in accounting and auditing.

        Prior to the engagement of EY as WSII's independent registered public accounting firm under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board ("PCAOB"), EY and other associated entities of Ernst & Young Global Limited ("EYG") had lending relationships with a 12.40% owner of WSII's former parent company. The independent auditor having a lending relationship with a record or beneficial owner of greater than 10% of the outstanding shares of the parent of an audit client is not in accordance with the auditor independence rules of Regulation S-X and the PCAOB. All such lending relationships were terminated during 2015. The lending relationship did not affect the audit procedures or audit judgments in connection with the audits of WSII's consolidated financial statements.

        Additionally prior to the engagement of EY as WSII's independent registered public accounting firm under the PCAOB standards, a member firm of EYG in Norway was engaged to provide a loan staffing service whereby an employee of such member firm acted in a management function from January 2015 through July 2015 for a controlled investee of TDR Capital LLP, the former ultimate parent of WSII. The entity for whom the engagement was performed is an affiliate of WSII under the SEC independence rules by virtue of being under common control by the same ultimate parent. This service is prohibited under the auditor independence rules of Regulation S-X and the PCAOB. The service was not related to, and did not affect, the consolidated financial statements of WSII nor EY's related audits. Total fees collected by the EYG member firm for the loan staffing services were insignificant in relation to the total fees for EY's audits. None of the professionals who provided the service were members of the EY audit engagement team with respect to the audits of WSII's consolidated financial statements.

        After careful consideration of the facts and circumstances and the applicable independence rules, EY has concluded that (i) the aforementioned matters do not impair EY's ability to exercise objective and impartial judgment in connection with its audits of WSII's consolidated financial statements and (ii) a reasonable investor with knowledge of all relevant facts and circumstances would conclude that EY has been and is capable of exercising objective and impartial judgment on all issues encompassed within its audits of WSII's consolidated financial statements. After considering these matters, WSII's management and the audit committee charged with governance over WSII concur with EY's conclusions.

        The audited historical consolidated financial statements of Modular Space Holdings, Inc. as of September 30, 2017 and for the period from March 3, 2017 to September 30, 2017 ("Successor") included on Exhibit 99.1 of WillScot Corporation's Current Report on Form 8-K dated July 24, 2018 have been so incorporated in reliance on the report (which contains an explanatory paragraph relating to Modular Space Holdings, Inc.'s joint prepackaged plan of reorganization and emergence from bankruptcy, as described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements) of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, independent accountants, given on the authority of said firm as experts in auditing and accounting.

        Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any threatened, pending or completed actions, suits or proceedings in which such person is made a party by reason of such person being or having been a director, officer, employee or agent of the Registrant. The DGCL provides that Section 145 is not exclusive of other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. The Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws provide for indemnification by the Registrant of its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.

        Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL permits a corporation to provide in its Certificate of Incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (1) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (2) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (3) for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases, redemptions or other distributions or (4) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. The Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation provides for such limitation of liability to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.

        The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors and executive officers to provide contractual indemnification in addition to the indemnification provided in our Certificate of Incorporation. Each indemnification agreement provides for indemnification and advancements by the Registrant of certain expenses and costs relating to claims, suits or proceedings arising from his or her service to the Registrant or, at our request, service to other entities, as officers or directors to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. We believe that these provisions and agreements are necessary to attract qualified directors.

        The Registrant also maintains standard policies of insurance under which coverage is provided (1) to its directors and officers against loss arising from claims made by reason of breach of duty or other wrongful act, while acting in their capacity as directors and officers of the Registrant, and (2) to the Registrant with respect to payments which may be made by the Registrant to such officers and directors pursuant to any indemnification provision contained in the Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws or otherwise as a matter of law.

Table of Contents

        (b)   Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

        (c)   The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Items 4, 10(b), 11, or 13 of this Form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request.

        (d)   The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective.

Re:                             WillScot Corporation

Registration Statement on Form S-4

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We have acted as counsel to WillScot Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the preparation and filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) of the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-4 (the “Registration Statement”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), on the date hereof. The Registration Statement relates to the Company’s offer to exchange (the “Exchange Offer”) its outstanding: (i) publicly traded warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock that were issued under the warrant agreement dated September 10, 2015 by and between the Company’s legal predecessor, Double Eagle Acquisition Corp. (“Double Eagle”) and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent (the “Warrant Agreement”), in connection with Double Eagle’s initial public offering (“IPO”), which entitle holders to purchase one-half of one share of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) for a purchase price of $5.75, subject to adjustments; and (ii) warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock that were issued under the Warrant Agreement in a private placement simultaneous with the IPO (the “Private Warrants” and together with the Public Warrants, the “Warrants”), for a total of 12,636,435 shares (the “Exchange Shares”) of its Common Stock, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the prospectus/offer to exchange, which forms part of the Registration Statement (the “Prospectus”) and the related letter of transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”).

 


 

This opinion is being delivered in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act.

 

In so acting, we have examined originals or copies (certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction) of:

 

i.                  The Registration Statement;

 

ii.               The Certificate of Incorporation of the Company filed as Exhibit 3.1 to the Registration Statement;

 

iii.            The By-laws of the Company filed as Exhibit 3.2 to the Registration Statement; and

 

iv.           such corporate records, agreements, documents and other instruments, and resolutions and such certificates or comparable documents of public officials and of officers and representatives of the Company, and have made such inquiries of such officers and representatives, as we have deemed relevant and necessary as a basis for the opinion hereinafter set forth.

 

In such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity and competency of all natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed or photostatic copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents.

 

We have also assumed that (i) the Registration Statement and any amendments thereto will have become effective and comply with all applicable laws and no stop order suspending the Registration Statement’s effectiveness will have been issued and remain in effect, in each case, at the time the Exchange Shares are offered and sold as contemplated by the Registration Statement and the related Letter of Transmittal and (ii) all Exchange Shares will be offered and sold in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws and in the manner stated in the Registration Statement and the related Letter of Transmittal.

 

Based on the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications, assumptions and limitations stated herein, we are of the opinion that the Exchange Shares issuable upon exchange of the Warrants have been duly authorized and, when issued in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Offer as set forth in the Prospectus and the related Letter of Transmittal, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

 

Our opinions expressed above are subject to the qualifications that we express no opinion as to the applicability of, compliance with, or effect of any laws except the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and the Federal laws of the United States of America.

 

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Commission as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement. We also consent to the reference to our firm under the heading “Legal Matters” in the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not hereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder.

 

The opinions set forth in this letter are effective as of the date hereof. We do not undertake to advise you of any changes in our opinion expressed herein resulting from matters that may arise after the date of this letter or that hereafter may be brought to our attention. We express no opinions other than as herein expressly set forth, and no opinion may be inferred or implied beyond that expressly stated herein.

This opinion is given for the sole benefit of the persons to whom the opinion letter is addressed. This opinion letter may not be relied on by any other person without our prior written consent.

 

Very truly yours,

WILLSCOT CORPORATION

 

Form of Dealer Manager Agreement

 

New York, New York

November 8, 2018

 

Deutsche Bank Securities Inc.

60 Wall Street

New York, NY 10005

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

WillScot Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), plans to commence an offer (as described in the Prospectus defined below, the “Exchange Offer”) pursuant to which the Company will offer to the holders of certain of its outstanding warrants (as set forth in the Prospectus) (the “Warrants”) the opportunity to receive 0.18182 shares (the “Shares”) of class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), of the Company in exchange for each of the Company’s Warrants tendered by a holder thereof and exchanged upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Exchange Offer Material (as defined below). The Company has caused the Exchange Offer Material to be prepared and furnished to you on or prior to the date hereof for use in connection with the Exchange Offer (as defined below). Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in Section 16 of this Agreement.

 

Any reference herein to the Pre-Effective Registration Statement, the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 11 of Form S-4 which were filed under the Exchange Act on or before the filing of the Pre-Effective Registration Statement, the effective date of the Registration Statement (the “Effective Date”) or the issue date of the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, as the case may be; and any reference herein to the terms “amend,” “amendment” or “supplement” with respect to the Pre-Effective Registration Statement, the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the filing of any document under the Exchange Act after the initial filing of the Pre-Effective Registration Statement, the Effective Date or the issue date of the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, as the case may be, deemed to be incorporated therein by reference.

 

1.                                      Appointment as Dealer Manager, Fees and Expenses.

 

(a)                                 The Company hereby engages Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. to act as the sole and exclusive dealer manager for the Exchange Offer (the “Dealer Manager”). The Dealer Manager may, with the consent of the Company (not to be unreasonably withheld), perform the services contemplated hereby in conjunction with their Affiliates, and any Affiliates of the Dealer Manager performing services hereunder shall be entitled to the benefits and be subject to the terms, limitations and conditions of this Agreement. As Dealer Manager, you agree, in accordance with your firm’s customary practices, to perform in connection with the Exchange Offer those services as are customarily performed by investment banking firms acting as dealer managers of exchange offers of a like nature, including without limitation, using commercially reasonable efforts to solicit tenders of the Warrants pursuant to the Exchange Offer, communicating with brokers, dealers, commercial banks, trust companies and other holders of the Warrants with respect to the Exchange Offer and assisting in the distribution of the Exchange Offer Material.

 

(b)                                 Other than the references to the Dealer Manager in the Exchange Offer Material, the Company agrees that it will not file, use or publish any material in connection with the Exchange Offer, use the name Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. (or any related names thereof), or the names of any of its affiliates, or refer to the Dealer Manager or its relationship with the Company in any such material, unless the Company has furnished a copy of such material to the Dealer Manager for its review prior to filing, use or publication and will not file, use or publish any such material to which the Dealer Manager reasonably objects. There shall be no fee for any such permitted use or reference other than as set forth herein.

 


 

2.                                      Compensation.

 

(a)                                 The Company shall pay the Dealer Manager, in respect of its services as Dealer Manager, the fee set forth in the attached Schedule I (the “Fee”).

 

(b)                                 The Company shall promptly reimburse the Dealer Manager, without regard to consummation of the Exchange Offer, on demand for the Dealer Manager’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses that shall have been reasonably incurred by them in connection with preparing for and performing their functions as Dealer Manager in accordance with this Agreement, including the reasonable fees, costs and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel for its representation of the Dealer Manager in connection therewith, not exceeding in the case of such counsel’s fees, costs and out-of-pocket expenses, $200,000 (inclusive of any expenses attributable to such counsel in Section 5(j)).

 

3.                                      Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company represents and warrants to and agrees with the Dealer Manager that:

 

(a)                                 The Company has prepared and filed with the Commission the Schedule TO and a registration statement on Form S-4, including a related preliminary prospectus, for registration under the Act of the offering and sale of the Shares in connection with the Exchange Offer. Following the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the Company will file with the Commission a final prospectus in accordance with Rule 424(b) if required by Commission rules. As filed, such preliminary prospectus, Schedule TO and final prospectus shall contain all information required by the Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

 

(b)                                 (i) The Pre-Effective Registration Statement and any amendment thereto, as of the Commencement Date, the Registration Statement, as of the Effective Date, the Expiration Date and the Exchange Date, and the Preliminary Prospectus and any amendments and supplements thereto, as of its date, the Commencement Date and the Exchange Date, comply, and will comply, in all material respects with the Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (including Rule 13e-4 and Regulation 14E under the Exchange Act), (ii) the Prospectus (together with any supplement and amendment thereto), as of the date it is first filed in accordance with Rule 424(b) under the Act (if it is so filed) and the Exchange Date, will comply, in all material respects with the Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (including Rule 13e-4 and Regulation 14E under the Exchange Act), (iii) the Pre-Effective Registration Statement and any amendment thereto as of the Commencement Date, and the Registration Statement, as of the Effective Date, the Expiration Date and the Exchange Date, did not contain, and will not contain, any untrue statement of a material fact and did not omit, and will not omit, to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (iv) the Preliminary Prospectus as of its date did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact and did not omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (v) the Prospectus (together with any supplement or amendment thereto), as of the date it is first filed in accordance with Rule 424(b) (if required), the Expiration Date and the Exchange Date, will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact and will not omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the Company makes no representations or warranties as to the information contained in or omitted from the Pre-Effective Registration Statement, the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any supplement or amendment thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company in writing by or on behalf of the Dealer Manager expressly for inclusion therein (the “Dealer Manager Information”), it being understood that the Dealer Manager Information in the Preliminary Prospectus shall include only the names and the contact information of the Dealer Manager in the Preliminary Prospectus and on the back cover of the Preliminary Prospectus.

 

(c)                                  Any “issuer free writing prospectus” as defined in Rule 433 under the Act relating to the Exchange Offer (each, an “Issuer Free Writing Prospectus”) does not and will not conflict with the information contained in the Pre-Effective Registration Statement, the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus; each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, in each case as supplemented by and taken together with the Registration Statement or the Prospectus as of the date of the use of such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, did not and

 

2


 

will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that this representation and warranty does not apply to statements in or omissions from any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus based upon and in conformity with the Dealer Manager Information.

 

(d)                                 The documents incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and the Schedule TO, when they became effective or were filed with the Commission, as the case may be, conformed in all material respects to the requirements of the Act or the Exchange Act, as applicable, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, and none of such documents contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and any further documents so filed and incorporated by reference in the Prospectus, when such documents become effective or are filed with the Commission, as the case may be, will conform in all material respects to the requirements of the Act or the Exchange Act, as applicable, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that this representation and warranty shall not apply to any statements or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with the Dealer Manager Information.

 

(e)                                  No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued by the Commission.

 

(f)                                   The Company has not paid or agreed to pay to any person any compensation for (i) soliciting another person to purchase any of its securities pursuant to the Exchange Offer or (ii) soliciting tenders or consents by holders of Warrants pursuant to the Exchange Offer (except as contemplated in this Agreement and the Exchange Offer Material).

 

(g)                                  The Company has an authorized, issued and outstanding capitalization as set forth in the Prospectus; all of the subsidiaries of the Company are listed on Schedule II attached hereto (each, a “Subsidiary” and collectively the “Subsidiaries”); all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company and each of the Subsidiaries have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable and were not issued in violation of any preemptive or similar rights; except as disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus, all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company will be free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, equities and claims or restrictions on transferability (other than those imposed by the Act, the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of certain jurisdictions) or voting.  Except as disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus, there are no (i) options, warrants or other rights to purchase, (ii) agreements or other obligations to issue or (iii) other rights to convert any obligation into, or exchange any securities for, shares of capital stock of or ownership interests in the Company.  Except for the Subsidiaries or as disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus, the Company does not own, directly or indirectly, any shares of capital stock or any other equity or long-term debt securities or have any equity interest in any firm, partnership, joint venture or other entity.

 

(h)                                 The Company is duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation and has all requisite power and authority to own its properties and conduct its business as now conducted and as described in the Prospectus; the Company is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in good standing, to the extent such concept exists in the relevant jurisdiction, or equivalent status in all other jurisdictions where the ownership or leasing of its properties or the conduct of its business requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified would not reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the business, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or results of operations of the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole (any such event, a “Material Adverse Effect”).

 

(i)                                     The Company has all requisite power and authority to execute, deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations under this Agreement and the Exchange Offer.  The Exchange Offer has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company, and this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company.

(j)                                    The Company’s capital stock conforms in all material respects to the description thereof contained in the Preliminary Prospectus and Prospectus.

 

(k)                                 The Shares to be issued in exchange for the Warrants as contemplated by the Exchange Offer Material have been duly authorized for issuance and sale by the Company, and, when issued and delivered as contemplated therein, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable; neither the filing of the Registration Statement nor the issuance of the Shares as contemplated by the Exchange Offer Material will give rise to any preemptive or similar rights, other than those which have been waived or satisfied or those relating to the registration of the Shares.

 

(l)                                     The Company has filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 13e-4(c)(1) under the Exchange Act (or Rule 425 under the Act) or otherwise all written communications made by the Company or any affiliate of the Company in connection with or relating to the Exchange Offer that are required to be filed with the Commission, in each case on the date of their first use.

(f)                                   The Company shall have requested and caused each of Ernst & Young LLP and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to deliver to the Dealer Manager letters as of the Financial Reporting Date and the Exchange Date, in the form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Dealer Manager.

 

(g)                                  (i) Subsequent to the Commencement Date, there shall not have been any change specified in the letters referred to in paragraph (f) of this Section 6, or (ii) subsequent to the Commencement Date or, if earlier, the dates as of which information is given in the Preliminary Prospectus (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto), there shall not have been any change, or any development involving a prospective change, in or affecting the condition (financial or otherwise), prospects, earnings, business or properties the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Preliminary Prospectus (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto), the effect of which, in any case referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above, is, in the judgment of the Dealer Manager, so material and adverse as to make it impractical or inadvisable to market or deliver the Shares or solicit tenders of Warrants as contemplated by the Preliminary Prospectus (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto).

Notice of such cancellation shall be given to the Company in writing.

 

7.                                      Indemnification and Contribution.

 

(a)                                 The Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Dealer Manager against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Dealer Manager may become subject, under the Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Preliminary Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), the Prospectus, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (iii) the Company’s failure to make or consummate the Exchange Offer or the withdrawal, rescission, termination, amendment or extension of the Exchange Offer or any failure on the Company’s part to comply in any material respect with the terms and conditions contained in the Exchange Offer Material, (iv) any action or failure to act in connection with the Exchange Offer by the Company or its directors, officers, agents or employees or by an indemnified party at the request or with the consent of the Company, or (v) otherwise related to or arising out of the Dealer Manager’s

 

12


 

engagement hereunder, except, in the case of clauses (iii), (iv) and (v) only, to the extent such actions or failures to act arise from the Dealer Manager’s bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct; and will reimburse the Dealer Manager for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by it in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, in reliance upon and in conformity with the Dealer Manager Information.

 

(b)                                 The Dealer Manager will indemnify and hold harmless the Company against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company may become subject, under the Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or the alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with the Dealer Manager Information; and will reimburse the Company for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred.

 

(c)                                  Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under Section 7(a) or 7(b), above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such Section, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under such Section except to the extent that it has been prejudiced by such failure. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under such subsection for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff that is not subject to further appeal, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify each indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (y) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

 

(d)                                 If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to herein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) related to or arising out of the Exchange Offer in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Dealer Manager on the other from the actual or proposed transaction giving rise to which such loss, claim, damage or liability (or action in respect thereof) relates. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Dealer

 

13


 

Manager on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Dealer Manager on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total value paid or proposed to be paid to holders of Warrants pursuant to the Exchange Offer (whether or not consummated) bears to the fees actually received by the Dealer Manager pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof (exclusive of amounts paid for reimbursement of expenses or paid under this Agreement). For purposes of the preceding sentence, the total value paid or proposed to be paid to holders of Warrants pursuant to the Exchange Offer shall equal (i) if the Exchange Offer is consummated, the total market value of the Shares (as of the Expiration Date) issued, and the cash consideration, if any, paid, in the Exchange Offer, or (ii) if the Exchange Offer is not consummated, the total market value (as of the date when the Exchange Offer is terminated or otherwise withdrawn by the Company) of the Shares issuable, and the cash consideration, if any, payable, in the Exchange Offer, based on the maximum number of Warrants that could be exchanged in the Exchange Offer as described in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement or Prospectus immediately before the termination or withdrawal of the Exchange Offer. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or by the Dealer Manager on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and the Dealer Manager agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, no Dealer Manager shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount of the compensation actually paid by the Company to the Dealer Manager in connection with its engagement. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

 

(e)                                  The obligations of the Company under this Section 7 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls the Dealer Manager within the meaning of the Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder; and the obligations of the Dealer Manager under this Section 7 shall be in addition to any liability which the respective Dealer Manager may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer and director of the Company and to each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

 

8.                                      Certain Acknowledgments.

 

The Company acknowledges and agrees that (i) you and your affiliates are engaged in a broad range of securities activities and may provide financing, advisory or other services to parties whose interests may conflict with those of the Company and (ii) you or such affiliates may, for your own account or the account of customers, purchase or sell, or hold a long or short position in, securities of the Company, including the Warrants and/or the Class A Common Stock and that you may or may not tender any such Warrants in the Exchange Offer.

 

In recognition of the foregoing, the Company agrees that the Dealer Manager is not required to restrict its activities as a result of this engagement, and that the Dealer Manager may undertake any business activity without further consultation with or notification to the Company, subject to applicable law. Neither this Agreement, the receipt by the Dealer Manager of confidential information nor any other matter shall give rise to any fiduciary, equitable or contractual duties (including without limitation any duty of trust or confidence) that would prevent or restrict the Dealer Manager from acting on behalf of other customers or for its own account. Furthermore, the Company agrees that neither the Dealer Manager nor any member or business of the Dealer Manager is under a duty to disclose to the Company any information whatsoever about or derived from those activities or to account for any revenue or profits obtained in connection with such activities. However, consistent with the Dealer Manager’s long-standing policy to hold in confidence the affairs of their customers, the Dealer Manager will not use confidential

 

14


 

information obtained from the Company except in connection with their services to, and their relationship with, the Company.

 

The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Dealer Manager is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length contractual counterparty to the Company with respect to the Exchange Offer contemplated hereby (including in connection with determining the terms of the Exchange Offer) and not as a financial advisor or a fiduciary to, or an agent of, the Company or any other person. Additionally, the Dealer Manager is not advising the Company or any other person as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting or regulatory matters in any jurisdiction. The Company shall consult with its own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making its own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated hereby, and the Dealer Manager shall have no responsibility or liability to the Company with respect thereto. Any review by the Dealer Manager of the Company, the transactions contemplated hereby or other matters relating to such transactions will be performed solely for the benefit of the Dealer Manager and shall not be on behalf of the Company.

(c)                                  The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company and the Dealer Manager, as set forth in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of them, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation (or any statement as to the results thereof) made by or on behalf of the Dealer Manager or any controlling person of the Dealer Manager, or the Company, or any officer or director or controlling person of the Company, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Securities. The provisions of Section 2, Section 5(j), Section 7 and this Section 9(c) hereof shall survive the termination or cancellation of this Agreement.

 

10.                               Notices. All communications hereunder will be in writing (or by email) and effective only on receipt, and, if sent to the Dealer Manager, will be mailed, delivered or telefaxed to Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., 60 Wall Street, 2nd Floor, New York, New York 10005, Attention: Equity Capital Markets - Syndicate Desk, with a copy to Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., 60 Wall Street, 36th Floor, New York, N.Y. 10005, Attention: General Counsel (fax no.: (212) 797-4564); or, if sent to the Company, will be mailed or delivered to WillScot Corporation at 901 S.

No person receiving the Shares in the Exchange Offer shall be deemed a successor or assign by reason merely of such purchase.

 

12.                               Applicable Law.

WILLSCOT CORPORATION
for
Common Stock of WillScot Corporation

        THE OFFER (AS DEFINED BELOW) AND WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS WILL EXPIRE AT 11:59 P.M., EASTERN TIME, ON DECEMBER 6, 2018, OR SUCH LATER TIME AND DATE TO WHICH WE MAY EXTEND. WARRANTS OF THE COMPANY TENDERED PURSUANT TO THE OFFER MAY BE WITHDRAWN PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION DATE (AS DEFINED BELOW).

        Delivery of this Letter of Transmittal, tendered Warrants and any other documents should be made by or on behalf of the undersigned:

TO:    Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as Exchange Agent

Attn: Mark Zimkind

1 State Street, 30th Floor
New York, NY 10004

        THE METHOD OF DELIVERY OF THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL, WARRANTS AND ALL OTHER REQUIRED DOCUMENTS, INCLUDING DELIVERY THROUGH BOOK-ENTRY TRANSFER, IS AT THE OPTION AND RISK OF THE TENDERING WARRANT HOLDER, AND EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW, THE DELIVERY WILL BE DEEMED MADE ONLY WHEN ACTUALLY RECEIVED BY THE EXCHANGE AGENT. IF DELIVERY IS BY MAIL, REGISTERED MAIL WITH RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, PROPERLY INSURED, IS RECOMMENDED. THE WARRANT HOLDER HAS THE RESPONSIBILITY TO CAUSE THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL, THE TENDERED WARRANTS AND ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS TO BE TIMELY DELIVERED. IN ALL CASES, SUFFICIENT TIME SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO ENSURE TIMELY DELIVERY.

        PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL, INCLUDING THE INSTRUCTIONS, CAREFULLY BEFORE COMPLETING THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL.

        WillScot Corporation (the "Company," "we," "our" and "us"), a Delaware corporation, has delivered to the undersigned a copy of the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange dated November 8, 2018 (the "Prospectus/Offer to Exchange") of the Company and this Letter of Transmittal, which together set forth the offer of the Company to each of its warrant holders described below to receive 0.18182 shares of Class A common stock , par value $0.0001 per share (the "Common Stock"), of the Company in exchange for every outstanding Warrant (as defined below) of the Company tendered by the holder and exchanged pursuant to the offer (the "Offer").

        The Offer is being made to:


        Pursuant to the Offer, we are offering up to an aggregate of 12,636,435 shares of our Common Stock in exchange for all of the Warrants.

        The 10,000,000 warrants, each exercisable for one share of Common Stock, issued in connection with our acquisition (the "ModSpace Acquisition") of Modular Space Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "ModSpace Warrants"), under a warrant agreement dated August 15, 2018, between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent, and us are not subject to this Offer.

        Warrants not exchanged for shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Offer will remain outstanding subject to their current terms, including any such terms permitting the Company to redeem such Warrants prior to their expiration. The Company reserves the right to redeem any of the Public Warrants pursuant to their current terms at any time.

        The Offer is made solely upon the terms and conditions in this Prospectus/Offer to Exchange and this letter of transmittal (as it may be supplemented and amended from time to time, this "Letter of Transmittal"). The Offer will be open until 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on December 6, 2018, or such later time and date to which we may extend (the period during which the Offer is open, giving effect to any withdrawal or extension, is referred to as the "Offer Period," and the date and time at which the Offer Period ends is referred to as the "Expiration Date"). The Offer is not made to those holders who reside in states or other jurisdictions where an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

        Each Warrant holder whose Warrants are exchanged pursuant to the Offer will receive 0.18182 shares of Common Stock for each Warrant tendered by such holder and exchanged. Any Warrant holder that participates in the Offer may tender less than all of its Warrants for exchange.

        No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued pursuant to the Offer. In lieu of issuing fractional shares, any holder of Warrants who would otherwise have been entitled to receive fractional shares pursuant to the Offer will, after aggregating all such fractional shares of such holder, be paid cash (without interest) in an amount equal to such fractional part of a share multiplied by the last sale price of our Common Stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market ("Nasdaq") on the last trading day of the Offer Period. Our obligation to complete the offer is not conditioned on the receipt of a minimum number of tendered Warrants.

        We may withdraw the Offer only if the conditions to the Offer are not satisfied or waived prior to the Expiration Date. Promptly upon any such withdrawal, we will return the tendered Warrants to the holders.

        This Letter of Transmittal is to be used to accept the Offer if the applicable Warrants are to be tendered by effecting a book-entry transfer into the Exchange Agent's account at The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") and instructions are not being transmitted through DTC's Automated Tender Offer Program ("ATOP"). Except in instances where a holder intends to tender Warrants through ATOP, the holder should complete, execute and deliver this Letter of Transmittal to indicate the action it desires to take with respect to the Offer.

        Holders of Warrants tendering Warrants by book-entry transfer to the Exchange Agent's account at DTC may execute the tender through ATOP, and in that case need not complete, execute and deliver this Letter of Transmittal. DTC participants accepting the Offer may transmit their acceptance to DTC,


which will verify the acceptance and execute a book-entry delivery to the Exchange Agent's account at DTC. DTC will then send an "Agent's Message" to the Exchange Agent for its acceptance. Delivery of the Agent's Message by DTC will satisfy the terms of the Offer as to execution and delivery of a Letter of Transmittal by the DTC participant identified in the Agent's Message.

        As used in this Letter of Transmittal with respect to the tender procedures set forth herein, the term "registered holder" means any person in whose name Warrants are registered on the books of the Company or who is listed as a participant in a clearing agency's security position listing with respect to the Warrants.

        THE OFFER IS NOT MADE TO THOSE HOLDERS WHO RESIDE IN STATES OR OTHER JURISDICTIONS WHERE AN OFFER OR SALE WOULD BE UNLAWFUL.

        PLEASE SEE THE INSTRUCTIONS TO THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL BEGINNING ON PAGE 8 FOR THE PROPER USE AND DELIVERY OF THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL.

The undersigned understands that this tender may not be withdrawn after the Expiration Date, and that a notice of withdrawal will be effective only if delivered to the Exchange Agent in accordance with the specific withdrawal procedures set forth in the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange.

If the "Special Issuance Instructions" below are completed, the Company will issue such shares of Common Stock in the name of the person or account indicated under "Special Issuance Instructions."

INSTRUCTIONS
FORMING PART OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE OFFER

        1.     Delivery of Letter of Transmittal and Warrants.    This Letter of Transmittal is to be used only if tenders of Warrants are to be made by book-entry transfer to the Exchange Agent's account at DTC and instructions are not being transmitted through ATOP with respect to such tenders.

        Warrants may be validly tendered pursuant to the procedures for book-entry transfer as described in the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange. In order for Warrants to be validly tendered by book-entry transfer, the Exchange Agent must receive the following prior to the Expiration Date, except as otherwise permitted by use of the procedures for guaranteed delivery as described below:

        The term "Agent's Message" means a message, transmitted by DTC to, and received by, the Exchange Agent and forming a part of a Book-Entry Confirmation, which states that DTC has received an express acknowledgment from the participant in DTC exchanging the Warrants that such participant has received and agrees to be bound by the terms of the Letter of Transmittal and that the Company may enforce such agreement against the participant. If you are tendering by book-entry transfer, you must expressly acknowledge that you have received and agree to be bound by the Letter of Transmittal and that the Letter of Transmittal may be enforced against you.

        Delivery of a Letter of Transmittal to the Company or DTC will not constitute valid delivery to the Exchange Agent. No Letter of Transmittal should be sent to the Company or DTC.

        THE METHOD OF DELIVERY OF THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL, TENDERED WARRANTS AND ALL OTHER REQUIRED DOCUMENTS, INCLUDING DELIVERY THROUGH DTC AND ANY ACCEPTANCE OR AGENT'S MESSAGE DELIVERED THROUGH ATOP, IS AT THE OPTION AND RISK OF THE TENDERING WARRANT HOLDER, AND EXCEPT AS


OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THESE INSTRUCTIONS, THE DELIVERY WILL BE DEEMED MADE ONLY WHEN ACTUALLY RECEIVED BY THE EXCHANGE AGENT. IF DELIVERY IS BY MAIL, REGISTERED MAIL WITH RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, PROPERLY INSURED, IS RECOMMENDED. THE WARRANT HOLDER HAS THE RESPONSIBILITY TO CAUSE THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL, THE TENDERED WARRANTS AND ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS TO BE TIMELY DELIVERED. IN ALL CASES, SUFFICIENT TIME SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO ENSURE TIMELY DELIVERY.

        Neither the Company nor the Exchange Agent is under any obligation to notify any tendering holder of the Company's acceptance of tendered Warrants.

        2.     Guaranteed Delivery.    Warrant holders desiring to tender Warrants pursuant to the Offer but whose Warrants cannot otherwise be delivered with all other required documents to the Exchange Agent prior to the Expiration Date may nevertheless tender Warrants, as long as all of the following conditions are satisfied:

        A Warrant holder may deliver the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery by facsimile transmission or mail to the Exchange Agent.

        Except as specifically permitted by the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange, no alternative or contingent exchanges will be accepted.

        3.     Signatures on Letter of Transmittal and other Documents.    For purposes of the tender procedures set forth in this Letter of Transmittal, the term "registered holder" means any person in whose name Warrants are registered on the books of the Company or who is listed as a participant in a clearing agency's security position listing with respect to the Warrants.

        If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by a trustee, executor, administrator, guardian, attorney-in-fact, officer of a corporation, or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, such person must so indicate when signing and, unless waived by the Company, must submit to the Exchange Agent proper evidence satisfactory to the Company of the authority so to act.

        4.     Guarantee of Signatures.    No signature guarantee is required if:


        IN ALL OTHER CASES, AN ELIGIBLE INSTITUTION MUST GUARANTEE ALL SIGNATURES ON THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL BY COMPLETING AND SIGNING THE TABLE ENTITLED "GUARANTEE OF SIGNATURE(S)" ABOVE.

        5.     Warrants Tendered.    Any Warrant holder who chooses to participate in the Offer may exchange some or all of such holder's Warrants pursuant to the terms of the Offer.

        6.     Inadequate Space.    If the space provided under "Description of Warrants Tendered" is inadequate, the name(s) and address(es) of the registered holder(s), number of Warrants being delivered herewith, and number of such Warrants tendered hereby should be listed on a separate, signed schedule and attached to this Letter of Transmittal.

        7.     Transfer Taxes.    The Company will pay all transfer taxes, if any, applicable to the transfer of Warrants to the Company in the Offer. If transfer taxes are imposed for any other reason, the amount of those transfer taxes, whether imposed on the registered holder or any other persons, will be payable by the tendering holder. Other reasons transfer taxes could be imposed include:

        If satisfactory evidence of payment of or exemption from those transfer taxes is not submitted with this Letter of Transmittal, the amount of those transfer taxes will be billed directly to the tendering holder and/or withheld from any payment due with respect to the Warrants tendered by such holder.

        8.     Validity of Tenders.    All questions as to the number of Warrants to be accepted, and the validity, form, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance of any tender of Warrants will be determined by the Company in its reasonable discretion, which determinations shall be final and binding on all parties. The Company reserves the absolute right to reject any or all tenders of Warrants it determines not to be in proper form or to reject those Warrants, the acceptance of which may, in the opinion of the Company's counsel, be unlawful. The Company also reserves the absolute right to waive any defect or irregularity in the tender of any particular Warrant, whether or not similar defects or irregularities are waived in the case of other tendered Warrants. The Company's interpretation of the terms and conditions of the Offer (including this Letter of Transmittal and the instructions hereto) will be final and binding on all parties. Unless waived, any defects or irregularities in connection with tenders of Warrants must be cured within such time as the Company shall determine. None of the Company, the Exchange Agent, the information agent, the dealer manager or any other person is or will be obligated to give notice of any defects or irregularities in tenders of Warrants, and none of them will incur any liability for failure to give any such notice. Tenders of Warrants will not be deemed to have been validly made until all defects and irregularities have been cured or waived. Any Warrants received by the Exchange Agent that are not validly tendered and as to which the defects or irregularities have not been cured or waived will be returned by the Exchange Agent to the holders, unless otherwise provided in this Letter of Transmittal, as soon as practicable following the Expiration Date. Warrant holders who have any questions about the procedure for tendering Warrants in the Offer should contact the information agent at the address and telephone number indicated herein.

        9.     Waiver of Conditions.    The Company reserves the absolute right to waive any condition, other than as described in the section of the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange entitled "The Offer—General Terms—Conditions to the Offer."

        10.   Withdrawal.    Tenders of Warrants may be withdrawn only pursuant to the procedures and subject to the terms set forth in the section of the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange entitled "The Offer—Withdrawal Rights." Warrant holders can withdraw tendered Warrants at any time prior to the Expiration Date, and Warrants that the Company has not accepted for exchange by December 17, 2018, may thereafter be withdrawn at any time after such date until such Warrants are accepted by the Company for exchange pursuant to the Offer. Except as otherwise provided in the Prospectus/Offer to


Exchange, in order for the withdrawal of Warrants to be effective, a written notice of withdrawal satisfying the applicable requirements for withdrawal set forth in the section of the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange entitled "The Offer—Withdrawal Rights" must be timely received from the holder by the Exchange Agent at its address stated herein, together with any other information required as described in such section of the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange. All questions as to the form and validity (including time of receipt) of any notice of withdrawal will be determined by the Company, in its reasonable discretion, and its determination shall be final and binding. None of the Company, the Exchange Agent, the information agent, the dealer manager or any other person is under any duty to give notification of any defect or irregularity in any notice of withdrawal or will incur any liability for failure to give any such notification. Any Warrants properly withdrawn will be deemed not to have been validly tendered for purposes of the Offer. However, at any time prior to the Expiration Date, a Warrant holder may re-tender withdrawn Warrants by following the applicable procedures discussed in the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange and this Letter of Transmittal.

        11.   Questions and Requests for Assistance and Additional Copies.    Please direct questions or requests for assistance, or additional copies of the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange, Letter of Transmittal or other materials, in writing to the information agent for the Offer at:

Future developments. For the latest information about developments related to Form W-9 and its instructions, such as legislation enacted after they were published, go to www.irs.gov/FormW9.

Purpose of Form

An individual or entity (Form W-9 requester) who is required to file an information return with the IRS must obtain your correct taxpayer identification number (TIN) which may be your social security number (SSN), individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN), adoption taxpayer identification number (ATIN), or employer identification number (EIN), to report on an information return the amount paid to you, or other amount reportable on an information return. Examples of information returns include, but are not limited to, the following.

• Form 1099-INT (interest earned or paid)

• Form 1099-DIV (dividends, including those from stocks or mutual funds)

• Form 1099-MISC (various types of income, prizes, awards, or gross proceeds)

• Form 1099-B (stock or mutual fund sales and certain other transactions by brokers)

• Form 1099-S (proceeds from real estate transactions)

• Form 1099-K (merchant card and third party network transactions)

• Form 1098 (home mortgage interest), 1098-E (student loan interest), 1098-T (tuition)

• Form 1099-C (canceled debt)

• Form 1099-A (acquisition or abandonment of secured property)

     Use Form W-9 only if you are a U.S. person (including a resident alien), to provide your correct TIN.

     If you do not return Form W-9 to the requester with a TIN, you might be subject to backup withholding. See What is backup withholding, later.

    Cat. No. 10231X   Form W-9 (Rev. 10-2018)

Form W-9 (Rev. 10-2018)   Page 2

 

 

     By signing the filled-out form, you:

     1. Certify that the TIN you are giving is correct (or you are waiting for a number to be issued),

     2. Certify that you are not subject to backup withholding, or

     3. Claim exemption from backup withholding if you are a U.S. exempt payee. If applicable, you are also certifying that as a U.S. person, your allocable share of any partnership income from a U.S. trade or business is not subject to the withholding tax on foreign partners' share of effectively connected income, and

     4. Certify that FATCA code(s) entered on this form (if any) indicating that you are exempt from the FATCA reporting, is correct. See What is FATCA reporting, later, for further information.

Note: If you are a U.S. person and a requester gives you a form other than Form W-9 to request your TIN, you must use the requester's form if it is substantially similar to this Form W-9.

Definition of a U.S. person. For federal tax purposes, you are considered a U.S. person if you are:

• An individual who is a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien;

• A partnership, corporation, company, or association created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States;

• An estate (other than a foreign estate); or

• A domestic trust (as defined in Regulations section 301.7701-7).

Special rules for partnerships. Partnerships that conduct a trade or business in the United States are generally required to pay a withholding tax under section 1446 on any foreign partners' share of effectively connected taxable income from such business. Further, in certain cases where a Form W-9 has not been received, the rules under section 1446 require a partnership to presume that a partner is a foreign person, and pay the section 1446 withholding tax. Therefore, if you are a U.S. person that is a partner in a partnership conducting a trade or business in the United States, provide Form W-9 to the partnership to establish your U.S. status and avoid section 1446 withholding on your share of partnership income.

     In the cases below, the following person must give Form W-9 to the partnership for purposes of establishing its U.S. status and avoiding withholding on its allocable share of net income from the partnership conducting a trade or business in the United States.

• In the case of a disregarded entity with a U.S. owner, the U.S. owner of the disregarded entity and not the entity;

• In the case of a grantor trust with a U.S. grantor or other U.S. owner, generally, the U.S. grantor or other U.S. owner of the grantor trust and not the trust; and

• In the case of a U.S. trust (other than a grantor trust), the U.S. trust (other than a grantor trust) and not the beneficiaries of the trust.

Foreign person. If you are a foreign person or the U.S. branch of a foreign bank that has elected to be treated as a U.S. person, do not use Form W-9. Instead, use the appropriate Form W-8 or Form 8233 (see Pub. 515, Withholding of Tax on Nonresident Aliens and Foreign Entities).

Nonresident alien who becomes a resident alien. Generally, only a nonresident alien individual may use the terms of a tax treaty to reduce or eliminate U.S. tax on certain types of income. However, most tax treaties contain a provision known as a "saving clause." Exceptions specified in the saving clause may permit an exemption from tax to continue for certain types of income even after the payee has otherwise become a U.S. resident alien for tax purposes.

     If you are a U.S. resident alien who is relying on an exception contained in the saving clause of a tax treaty to claim an exemption from U.S. tax on certain types of income, you must attach a statement to Form W-9 that specifies the following five items.

     1. The treaty country. Generally, this must be the same treaty under which you claimed exemption from tax as a nonresident alien.

     2. The treaty article addressing the income.

     3. The article number (or location) in the tax treaty that contains the saving clause and its exceptions.

     4. The type and amount of income that qualifies for the exemption from tax.

     5. Sufficient facts to justify the exemption from tax under the terms of the treaty article.

     Example. Article 20 of the U.S.-China income tax treaty allows an exemption from tax for scholarship income received by a Chinese student temporarily present in the United States. Under U.S. law, this student will become a resident alien for tax purposes if his or her stay in the United States exceeds 5 calendar years. However, paragraph 2 of the first Protocol to the U.S.-China treaty (dated April 30, 1984) allows the provisions of Article 20 to continue to apply even after the Chinese student becomes a resident alien of the United States. A Chinese student who qualifies for this exception (under paragraph 2 of the first protocol) and is relying on this exception to claim an exemption from tax on his or her scholarship or fellowship income would attach to Form W-9 a statement that includes the information described above to support that exemption.

     If you are a nonresident alien or a foreign entity, give the requester the appropriate completed Form W-8 or Form 8233.

Backup Withholding

What is backup withholding? Persons making certain payments to you must under certain conditions withhold and pay to the IRS 24% of such payments. This is called "backup withholding." Payments that may be subject to backup withholding include interest, tax-exempt interest, dividends, broker and barter exchange transactions, rents, royalties, nonemployee pay, payments made in settlement of payment card and third party network transactions, and certain payments from fishing boat operators. Real estate transactions are not subject to backup withholding.

     You will not be subject to backup withholding on payments you receive if you give the requester your correct TIN, make the proper certifications, and report all your taxable interest and dividends on your tax return.

Payments you receive will be subject to backup withholding if:

     1. You do not furnish your TIN to the requester,

     2. You do not certify your TIN when required (see the instructions for Part II for details),

     3. The IRS tells the requester that you furnished an incorrect TIN,

     4. The IRS tells you that you are subject to backup withholding because you did not report all your interest and dividends on your tax return (for reportable interest and dividends only), or

     5. You do not certify to the requester that you are not subject to backup withholding under 4 above (for reportable interest and dividend accounts opened after 1983 only).

     Certain payees and payments are exempt from backup withholding. See Exempt payee code, later, and the separate Instructions for the Requester of Form W-9 for more information.

     Also see Special rules for partnerships, earlier.

What is FATCA Reporting?

The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) requires a participating foreign financial institution to report all United States account holders that are specified United States persons. Certain payees are exempt from FATCA reporting. See Exemption from FATCA reporting code, later, and the Instructions for the Requester of Form W-9 for more information.

Updating Your Information

You must provide updated information to any person to whom you claimed to be an exempt payee if you are no longer an exempt payee and anticipate receiving reportable payments in the future from this person. For example, you may need to provide updated information if you are a C corporation that elects to be an S corporation, or if you no longer are tax exempt. In addition, you must furnish a new Form W-9 if the name or TIN changes for the account; for example, if the grantor of a grantor trust dies.

Penalties

Failure to furnish TIN. If you fail to furnish your correct TIN to a requester, you are subject to a penalty of $50 for each such failure unless your failure is due to reasonable cause and not to willful neglect.

Civil penalty for false information with respect to withholding. If you make a false statement with no reasonable basis that results in no backup withholding, you are subject to a $500 penalty.

Specific Instructions

Line 1

You must enter one of the following on this line; do not leave this line blank. The name should match the name on your tax return.

     If this Form W-9 is for a joint account (other than an account maintained by a foreign financial institution (FFI)), list first, and then circle, the name of the person or entity whose number you entered in Part I of Form W-9. If you are providing Form W-9 to an FFI to document a joint account, each holder of the account that is a U.S. person must provide a Form W-9.

     a. Individual. Generally, enter the name shown on your tax return. If you have changed your last name without informing the Social Security Administration (SSA) of the name change, enter your first name, the last name as shown on your social security card, and your new last name.

Note: ITIN applicant: Enter your individual name as it was entered on your Form W-7 application, line 1a. This should also be the same as the name you entered on the Form 1040/1040A/1040EZ you filed with your application.

     b. Sole proprietor or single-member LLC. Enter your individual name as shown on your 1040/1040A/1040EZ on line 1. You may enter your business, trade, or "doing business as" (DBA) name on line 2.

     c. Partnership, LLC that is not a single-member LLC, C corporation, or S corporation. Enter the entity's name as shown on the entity's tax return on line 1 and any business, trade, or DBA name on line 2.

     d. Other entities. Enter your name as shown on required U.S. federal tax documents on line 1. This name should match the name shown on the charter or other legal document creating the entity. You may enter any business, trade, or DBA name on line 2.

     e. Disregarded entity. For U.S. federal tax purposes, an entity that is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner is treated as a "disregarded entity." See Regulations section 301.7701-2(c)(2)(iii). Enter the owner's name on line 1. The name of the entity entered on line 1 should never be a disregarded entity. The name on line 1 should be the name shown on the income tax return on which the income should be reported. For example, if a foreign LLC that is treated as a disregarded entity for U.S. federal tax purposes has a single owner that is a U.S. person, the U.S. owner's name is required to be provided on line 1. If the direct owner of the entity is also a disregarded entity, enter the first owner that is not disregarded for federal tax purposes. Enter the disregarded entity's name on line 2, "Business name/disregarded entity name." If the owner of the disregarded entity is a foreign person, the owner must complete an appropriate Form W-8 instead of a Form W-9. This is the case even if the foreign person has a U.S. TIN.

Line 2

If you have a business name, trade name, DBA name, or disregarded entity name, you may enter it on line 2.

Exemption from FATCA reporting code. The following codes identify payees that are exempt from reporting under FATCA. These codes apply to persons submitting this form for accounts maintained outside of the United States by certain foreign financial institutions. Therefore, if you are only submitting this form for an account you hold in the United States, you may leave this field blank. Consult with the person requesting this form if you are uncertain if the financial institution is subject to these requirements.

Line 5

Enter your address (number, street, and apartment or suite number). This is where the requester of this Form W-9 will mail your information returns. If this address differs from the one the requester already has on file, write NEW at the top. If a new address is provided, there is still a chance the old address will be used until the payor changes your address in their records.

Line 6

Enter your city, state, and ZIP code.

Part I. Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN)

Enter your TIN in the appropriate box. If you are a resident alien and you do not have and are not eligible to get an SSN, your TIN is your IRS individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN). Enter it in the social security number box. If you do not have an ITIN, see How to get a TIN below.

     If you are a sole proprietor and you have an EIN, you may enter either your SSN or EIN.

     If you are a single-member LLC that is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner, enter the owner's SSN (or EIN, if the owner has one). Do not enter the disregarded entity's EIN. If the LLC is classified as a corporation or partnership, enter the entity's EIN.

Note: See What Name and Number To Give the Requester, later, for further clarification of name and TIN combinations.

How to get a TIN. If you do not have a TIN, apply for one immediately. To apply for an SSN, get Form SS-5, Application for a Social Security Card, from your local SSA office or get this form online at www.SSA.gov. You may also get this form by calling 1-800-772-1213. Use Form W-7, Application for IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, to apply for an ITIN, or Form SS-4, Application for Employer Identification Number, to apply for an EIN. You can apply for an EIN online by accessing the IRS website at www.irs.gov/Businesses and clicking on Employer Identification Number (EIN) under Starting a Business. Go to www.irs.gov/Forms to view, download, or print Form W-7 and/or Form SS-4. Or, you can go to www.irs.gov/OrderForms to place an order and have Form W-7 and/or SS-4 mailed to you within 10 business days.

     If you are asked to complete Form W-9 but do not have a TIN, apply for a TIN and write "Applied For" in the space for the TIN, sign and date the form, and give it to the requester. For interest and dividend payments, and certain payments made with respect to readily tradable instruments, generally you will have 60 days to get a TIN and give it to the requester before you are subject to backup withholding on payments. The 60-day rule does not apply to other types of payments. You will be subject to backup withholding on all such payments until you provide your TIN to the requester.

Note: Entering "Applied For" means that you have already applied for a TIN or that you intend to apply for one soon.

Caution: A disregarded U.S. entity that has a foreign owner must use the appropriate Form W-8.

Part II. Certification

To establish to the withholding agent that you are a U.S. person, or resident alien, sign Form W-9. You may be requested to sign by the withholding agent even if item 1, 4, or 5 below indicates otherwise.

     For a joint account, only the person whose TIN is shown in Part I should sign (when required). In the case of a disregarded entity, the person identified on line 1 must sign. Exempt payees, see Exempt payee code, earlier.

Signature requirements. Complete the certification as indicated in items 1 through 5 below.

Secure Your Tax Records from Identity Theft

Identity theft occurs when someone uses your personal information such as your name, SSN, or other identifying information, without your permission, to commit fraud or other crimes. An identity thief may use your SSN to get a job or may file a tax return using your SSN to receive a refund.

     To reduce your risk:

• Protect your SSN,

• Ensure your employer is protecting your SSN, and

• Be careful when choosing a tax preparer.

     If your tax records are affected by identity theft and you receive a notice from the IRS, respond right away to the name and phone number printed on the IRS notice or letter.

     If your tax records are not currently affected by identity theft but you think you are at risk due to a lost or stolen purse or wallet, questionable credit card activity or credit report, contact the IRS Identity Theft Hotline at 1-800-908-4490 or submit Form 14039.

     For more information, see Pub. 5027, Identity Theft Information for Taxpayers.

     Victims of identity theft who are experiencing economic harm or a systemic problem, or are seeking help in resolving tax problems that have not been resolved through normal channels, may be eligible for Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) assistance. You can reach TAS by calling the TAS toll-free case intake line at 1-877-777-4778 or TTY/TDD 1-800-829-4059.

Protect yourself from suspicious emails or phishing schemes. Phishing is the creation and use of email and websites designed to mimic legitimate business emails and websites. The most common act is sending an email to a user falsely claiming to be an established legitimate enterprise in an attempt to scam the user into surrendering private information that will be used for identity theft.

     The IRS does not initiate contacts with taxpayers via emails. Also, the IRS does not request personal detailed information through email or ask taxpayers for the PIN numbers, passwords, or similar secret access information for their credit card, bank, or other financial accounts.

     If you receive an unsolicited email claiming to be from the IRS, forward this message to phishing@irs.gov. You may also report misuse of the IRS name, logo, or other IRS property to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) at 1-800-366-4484. You can forward suspicious emails to the Federal Trade Commission at spam@uce.gov or report them at www.ftc.gov/complaint. You can contact the FTC at www.ftc.gov/idtheft or 877-IDTHEFT (877-438-4338). If you have been the victim of identity theft, see www.IdentityTheft.gov and Pub. 5027.

        The undersigned acknowledges: (i) receipt of the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange, dated November 8, 2018 (the "Prospectus/Offer to Exchange"), and the related Letter of Transmittal (the "Letter of Transmittal"), which together set forth the offer of WillScot Corporation (the "Company"), a Delaware corporation, to each holder of its warrants issued under the warrant agreement dated September 10, 2015 by and between Double Eagle Acquisition Corp. and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent to purchase one-half of one share of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Common Stock"), of the Company for a purchase price of $5.75 per half share ($11.50 per whole share) (the "Warrants") to receive 0.18182 shares of Common Stock in exchange for each Warrant tendered by the holder and exchanged pursuant to the offer (the "Offer"); and (ii) that the Offer will be open until 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on December 6, 2018, or such later time and date to which the Company may extend. The period during which the Offer is open, giving effect to any withdrawal or extension, is referred to as the "Offer Period." The date and time at which the Offer Period ends is referred to as the "Expiration Date."

        Each Warrant holder whose Warrants are exchanged pursuant to the Offer will receive 0.18182 shares of Common Stock in exchange for each Warrant tendered by such holder and exchanged. Any Warrant holder that participates in the Offer may tender less than all of its Warrants for exchange.

        No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued pursuant to the Offer. In lieu of issuing fractional shares, any holder of Warrants who would otherwise have been entitled to receive fractional shares pursuant to the Offer will, after aggregating all such fractional shares of such holder, be paid cash (without interest) in an amount equal to such fractional part of a share multiplied by the last sale price of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market on the last trading day of the Offer Period.

        Enclosed are the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange dated November 8, 2018 (the "Prospectus/Offer to Exchange"), and the related Letter of Transmittal (the "Letter of Transmittal"), which together set forth the offer of WillScot Corporation (the "Company"), a Delaware corporation, to each holder of its warrants issued under the warrant agreement dated September 10, 2015 by and between Double Eagle Acquisition Corp. and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent to purchase one half of one share of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share ("Common Stock"), of the Company for a purchase price of $5.75 per half share ($11.50 per whole share) (the "Warrants") to receive 0.18182 shares of Common Stock in exchange for each Warrant tendered by the holder and exchanged pursuant to the offer (the "Offer"). The Offer is made solely upon the terms and conditions in the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange and in the Letter of Transmittal. The Offer will be open until 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on December 6, 2018, or such later time and date to which the Company may extend.

The Company reserves the right to redeem any of the Warrants, as applicable, pursuant to their current terms at any time.

        THE OFFER IS NOT MADE TO THOSE HOLDERS WHO RESIDE IN STATES OR OTHER JURISDICTIONS WHERE AN OFFER, SOLICITATION OR SALE WOULD BE UNLAWFUL.

        The Company will not pay any fees or commissions to any broker, dealer or other person (other than the Exchange Agent, the information agent, dealer manager and certain other persons, as described in the section of the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange entitled "The Offer—Fees and Expenses") for soliciting tenders of Warrants pursuant to the Offer.
