WillScot Announces Pricing of $190 Million Tack-On Offering of Senior Secured Notes


BALTIMORE, May 09, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- WillScot Corporation (“WillScot”) (Nasdaq: WSC), the specialty rental services market leader providing innovative modular space and portable storage solutions across North America, today announced that its indirect subsidiary, Williams Scotsman International, Inc. (the “Issuer”), has priced its previously announced tack-on offering (the “Tack-On Offering”) of $190 million in aggregate principal amount of its 6.875% senior secured notes due 2023 (the “New Notes”) at an issue price of 100.250% of the aggregate principal amount of the New Notes plus accrued interest from February 15, 2019. The New Notes will be issued as additional securities under an Indenture, dated August 6, 2018 (as supplemented from time to time, the “Indenture”), pursuant to which the Issuer issued $300,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of its 6.875% Senior Notes due 2023 (the “Existing Notes”) in August 2018. The New Notes and the Existing Notes are intended to be treated as a single class of debt securities under the Indenture, and the New Notes will have identical terms to the Existing Notes, other than with respect to the issue date and issue price.  

WillScot intends to use the net proceeds from the Tack-On Offering to repay a portion of outstanding borrowings under its senior secured revolving credit facility, which will be available to be re-borrowed in the future, subject to certain conditions.

The New Notes are being offered in a private placement transaction to qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and to certain investors outside the United States in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. The New Notes will not be registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.  This press release does not constitute an offer to sell any security and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offer or sale would be unlawful.

WillScot expects the Tack-On Offering to close on May 14, 2019, subject to customary closing conditions.
