Supplement Dated April 13, 2020
To the Proxy Statement Dated March 20, 2020
For the 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders
To be held May 11, 2020
Explanatory Note
On March 20, 2020, WillScot Corporation (“WillScot”) filed a definitive proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with WillScot’s 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, to be held on May 11, 2020. This supplement (the “Supplement”) is being filed to correct the inadvertent omission of the “Executive Officers” section, which should have been included on pg. 25 of the Proxy Statement, immediately prior to the section entitled “Executive Compensation.” The “Executive Officers” section is below in full and should be read in conjunction with the Proxy Statement. No other changes have been made to the Proxy Statement, or the matters to be considered by WillScot’s stockholders at the annual meeting, and this Supplement has not been updated to reflect events occurring subsequent to the filing of the Proxy Statement.
Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Supplement have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Proxy Statement.
