However, each of Cypress Group and Cypress Associates disclaims that it is a beneficial owner of such securities, except to the extent of its pecuniary interest in such securities. Because Cypress Group is a general partner of Cypress Associates and Cypress Associates is a general partner of each of Cypress MBP and Cypress OP and because Cypress MBP and Cypress OP acted together in their acquisition of the securities held by such limited partnerships, Cypress MBP and Cypress OP may be deemed to be a member of "group" in relation to their respective investments in Williams Scotsman International, Inc. Cypress MBP and Cypress OP do not affirm the existence of a group. ITEM 9. NOTICE OF DISSOLUTION OF GROUP Not applicable. ITEM 10. CERTIFICATION Not applicable.
