| Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement | ||||
As previously disclosed, on December 13, 2022, Mobile Mini, Inc. (“Mobile Mini”), an indirect subsidiary of WillScot Mobile Mini Holdings Corp. (the “Company”), entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) with Algeco UK Holdings Limited, a private limited company incorporated in England and Wales (“Buyer”), pursuant to which Buyer will acquire (the “Transaction”) all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Mobile Mini UK Holdings Limited (“Mobile Mini UK”), an indirect subsidiary of the Company which operates the Company’s UK Storage segment. The sale price for Mobile Mini UK will be paid in cash based on a total enterprise value of approximately £335 million, subject to certain adjustments.
On December 21, 2022, Williams Scotsman, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company, executed a currency exchange transaction with Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch by entering into a contingent forward contract to sell £330 million upon the closing of the Transaction at a price ranging from 1.20550 to 1.20440 British pounds sterling to U.S. dollar depending upon the date the Transaction closes. This contingent forward contract, which expires on September 11, 2023, mitigates the foreign currency risk of the U.S. dollar relative to the British pound sterling prior to the closing of the Transaction. If the sale transaction does not close by September 11, 2023, the Company would bear no economic risk related to the contingent forward contract. As announced previously, management expects the sale transaction to close in the first quarter of 2023. This contract is not expected to qualify for hedge accounting and will be revalued at fair value at each reporting period with unrealized gains and losses reflected in our results of operations. Upon the closing of the Transaction, the Company will realize a gain or loss on this contingent forward contract based on the market value of the contract.
