PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS

WILLSCOT CORPORATION

9,477,511 Shares of Class A Common Stock and
8,914,969 Warrants to Purchase Shares of Class A Common Stock

        This prospectus relates to the resale from time to time by the selling securityholders named in this prospectus (the "Selling Securityholders") of (i) 8,914,969 warrants (the "ModSpace Warrants") issued under the Warrant Agreement dated August 15, 2018 by, and between us and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent, as partial consideration of our acquisition (the "ModSpace Acquisition") of Modular Space Holdings, Inc. ("ModSpace"); (ii) 8,914,969 shares of our Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share ("Common Stock"), issuable upon exercise of the ModSpace Warrants; and (iii) 562,542 shares of Common Stock issued as partial consideration (the "Stock Consideration") for the ModSpace Acquisition.

        Each ModSpace Warrant is exercisable for one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $15.50 per share. The ModSpace Warrants may be exercised commencing on February 11, 2019, which is 180 days after the completion of the ModSpace Acquisition, and expire at 11:59 p.m., Eastern time, on November 29, 2022, or earlier upon liquidation. The shares of Common Stock issued as Stock Consideration are subject to restrictions on transfer until February 15, 2019.

        We will not receive the proceeds from the resale of (i) the shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise of the ModSpace Warrants; (ii) the ModSpace Warrants; or (iii) the shares of Common Stock issued as Stock Consideration. We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the ModSpace Warrants and shares of our Common Stock to be offered and sold pursuant to this prospectus.

        We currently have two classes of voting shares outstanding, our Common Stock and Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share ("Class B Common Stock"). The outstanding Class B Common Stock represents a non-economic voting interest in the company. The shares of Common Stock and Class B Common Stock vote together as one class on all matters presented for stockholder vote and are each entitled to one vote per share.

We deliver "Ready to Work" solutions through our growing offering of value-added products and services ("VAPS"), such as the rental of steps, ramps, and furniture packages, damage waivers and other amenities.

RISK FACTORS

        Investing in our securities involves risks. Before you make a decision to buy our securities, in addition to the risks and uncertainties discussed above under "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements," you should carefully consider the specific risks set forth herein and in the documents incorporated by reference. If any of these risks actually occur, it may materially harm our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations. As a result, the market price of our securities could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment. Additionally, the risks and uncertainties described in this prospectus, any prospectus supplement or in any document incorporated by reference herein or therein are not the only risks and uncertainties that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial may become material and adversely affect our business.

Risks Related to our Common Stock

The price of our Common Stock may be volatile, which could cause the value of your investment to decline.

        The market price of our Common Stock has fluctuated, and may in the future continue to fluctuate, significantly from time to time, and may be influenced by many factors, some of which are beyond our control, including those described in this "Risk Factors" section and the following:

    the factors described above under the heading "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements;" and

    the risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 , our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2018, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2018 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2018, filed with the SEC on November 9, 2018.

        Broad market fluctuations or any failure of our operating results in a particular quarter to meet market expectations may adversely affect the market price of shares of our Common Stock and the value of your investment. Occasionally, periods of volatility in the market price of a company's securities may lead to the institution of securities class action litigation against a company. If we are subject to such volatility in the price of shares of our Common Stock, we may be the target of such securities litigation in the future. Such legal action could result in substantial costs to defend our interests and a diversion of management's attention and resources, each of which would have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results and the market price of shares of Common Stock may decline.

Sales of a significant number of shares of our Common Stock in the public markets, or the perception of the likelihood of such sales, could depress the market price of shares of our Common Stock.

        Sales of a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock in the public markets and the availability of those shares for sale could adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock. Such sales, or the perception in the market that holders of a large number of shares intend to sell shares, could depress the market price of our Common Stock and impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. Under our existing Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, dated November 29, 2017 (the "2017 Registration Rights Agreement") by and among the Company and the investors party thereto, including an affiliate of TDR Capital, certain of the Founders (as defined below) certain of our directors and certain transferees of the Founders (the "Registration Rights Parties"), the Registration Rights Parties have the right to request an unlimited number of demands, customary shelf registration rights, subject to certain conditions, and piggyback registration rights with respect to registration statements filed by us. In connection with the closing of the ModSpace Acquisition, we entered into a registration rights agreement dated July 26, 2018 by and

6


Table of Contents

among the Company and certain of the sellers of ModSpace (the "ModSpace Investors") who received the Common Stock and ModSpace Warrants as part of the consideration for the ModSpace Acquisition (the "2018 Registration Rights Agreement"). The 2018 Registration Rights Agreement provides the ModSpace Investors with the right to request an unlimited number of demands at any time and customary shelf registration rights, subject to certain conditions. The Registration Rights Parties and ModSpace Investors also may request that we include such Common Stock in certain future registration statements or offerings of Common Stock by us. We cannot predict the effect that future sales of Common Stock or other equity-related securities would have on the market price of our Common Stock.

If securities or industry analysts cease to publish research, or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our stock price and trading volume could decline.

        The trading market for our Common Stock will depend, in part, on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. If one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade our stock or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our stock price would likely decline. In addition, if our operating results fail to meet the forecasts of analysts, our stock price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our company or fail to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our stock could decrease, which might cause our stock price and trading volume to decline.

We do not intend to pay dividends on our Common Stock so any returns will be limited to the value of our Common Stock.

        We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our Common Stock. We currently anticipate that we will retain future earnings for the development, operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends for the foreseeable future. Any return to stockholders will therefore be limited to the appreciation of their stock.

Our principal stockholder controls a majority of our outstanding Common Stock and it may take actions or have interests that may be adverse to or conflict with those of our other stockholders and may materially adversely affect the price of our Common Stock.

        Sapphire Holding S.à r.l. ("Sapphire"), an entity controlled by TDR Capital, beneficially owned approximately 50.0% of our outstanding shares of common stock as of January 1, 2019. Sapphire's ownership of our Common Stock may adversely affect the trading price for our Common Stock to the extent investors perceive disadvantages in owning shares of a company with a majority stockholder or in the event Sapphire takes any action with its shares that could result in an adverse impact on the price of our Common Stock, including a sale of a substantial portion of our Common Stock pursuant to this prospectus or otherwise.

        Sapphire informed us that on August 22, 2018, Sapphire pledged all 49,053,740 shares of Common Stock that it owns (the "Pledged Shares") as security under a margin loan agreement pursuant to which they borrowed an aggregate of $125.0 million. An event of default under the margin loan agreement could result in the foreclosure on the pledged securities and a subsequent sale of a significant number of shares of our Common Stock by the lender, which could cause the market price of our Common Stock to decline. Moreover, the occurrence of a foreclosure, and a subsequent sale of all, or substantially all, of the Pledged Shares could result in a change of control under our amended asset-based loan facility and the indentures governing our issued and outstanding notes, even when such change may not be in the best interest of our stockholders. Such sale of the Pledged Shares may also result in another stockholder beneficially owning a significant amount of our Common Stock and being able to exert a significant degree of influence or actual control over our management and affairs. Such stockholder's interests may be different from or conflict with those of our other stockholders.

Risks Related to the ModSpace Warrants

The ModSpace Warrants will become exercisable for shares of our Common Stock, which would increase the number of shares eligible for future resale in the public market and result in dilution to our shareholders.

        We have 9,999,579 outstanding ModSpace Warrants exercisable for 9,999,579 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $15.50 per whole share, which warrants will become exercisable on February 11, 2019. To the extent such warrants are exercised, additional shares of Common Stock will be issued, which will result in dilution to the holders of our Common Stock and increase the number of shares eligible for resale in the public market. Sales of substantial numbers of such shares in the public market could adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.

There can be no assurance that the ModSpace Warrants will be in the money at the time they become exercisable, and they may expire worthless.

        The exercise price for the ModSpace Warrants is $15.50 per share of Common Stock, and the ModSpace Warrants will expire at 11:59 p.m., Eastern time, on November 29, 2022, or earlier upon liquidation. There can be no assurance that the warrants will be in the money following the time they become exercisable and prior to their expiration, and as such, the warrants may expire worthless.

SELLING SECURITYHOLDERS

        This prospectus relates to the possible resale by the Selling Securityholders of (i) up to 8,914,969 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of 8,914,969 ModSpace Warrants, which are each exercisable for one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $15.50 per share; (ii) up to 8,912,354 ModSpace Warrants; and (iii) up to 562,542 shares of Common Stock issued as Stock Consideration.

        On August 15, 2018, we issued 6,458,229 shares of Common Stock and 9,999,579 ModSpace Warrants as partial consideration for the ModSpace Acquisition. The Stock Consideration and the ModSpace Warrants were issued in a private placement to certain sellers of ModSpace in reliance on an exemption from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act. In addition, in the 2018 Registration Rights Agreement, we granted certain registration rights to both the recipients of the Stock Consideration and the recipients of the ModSpace Warrants. The securities being registered by the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part are being registered pursuant to the registration rights granted under the 2018 Registration Rights Agreement to the sellers of ModSpace.

        The Selling Securityholders may from time to time offer and sell any or all of the shares of Common Stock and ModSpace Warrants set forth below pursuant to this prospectus. When we refer to the "Selling Securityholders" in this prospectus, we mean the persons listed in the table below, and the pledgees, donees, transferees, assignees, successors and others who later come to hold any of the Selling Securityholders' interest in the shares of Common Stock and/or ModSpace Warrants after the date of this prospectus.

        The following table sets forth, as of the date of this prospectus, the name of the Selling Securityholders for which we are registering the shares of Common Stock and ModSpace Warrants for resale to the public, and the aggregate principal amount that the Selling Securityholders may offer pursuant to this prospectus. In calculating percentages of shares of Common Stock owned by a particular holder, we did not assume exercise of any other holder's warrants.

        We cannot advise you as to whether the Selling Securityholder will in fact sell any or all of such shares of Common Stock and ModSpace Warrants. A Selling Securityholder may sell all, some or none of such securities in this offering. See "Plan of Distribution." In addition, the Selling Securityholders may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, at any time and from time to time, the shares of Common Stock or ModSpace Warrants in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act after the date of this prospectus.

        Selling Securityholder information for each additional Selling Securityholder, if any, will be set forth by prospectus supplement to the extent required prior to the time of any offer or sale of such Selling Securityholder's securities pursuant to this prospectus. Any prospectus supplement may add, update, substitute, or change the information contained in this prospectus, including the identity of each Selling Securityholder and the number of shares and warrants registered on its behalf.

        All information contained in the table below and the footnotes thereto is based upon information provided to us by the Selling Securityholders named in this prospectus.

        We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the ModSpace Warrants, the shares of our Common Stock to be offered and sold upon the exercise of the ModSpace Warrants, and the shares of Common Stock issued as Stock Consideration.

        We will not receive any proceeds from the resale of the ModSpaceWarrants or the shares of Common Stock by the Selling Securityholders.

        The shares of Common Stock and ModSpace Warrants beneficially owned by the Selling Securityholders covered by this prospectus may be offered and sold from time to time by the Selling Securityholders. The term "Selling Securityholders" includes donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors in interest selling securities received after the date of this prospectus from a Selling Securityholder as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other transfer. The Selling Securityholders will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale. Such sales may be made on one or more exchanges or in the over-the-counter market or otherwise, at prices and under terms then prevailing or at prices related to the then current market price or in negotiated transactions. Subject to the provisions of our Securities Trading Policy, the Selling Securityholders may sell their shares of Common Stock and ModSpace Warrants by one or more of, or a combination of, the following methods:

    purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by such broker-dealer for its own account pursuant to this prospectus;

    ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers;

    block trades in which the broker-dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

    an over-the-counter distribution in accordance with the rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market;

    through trading plans entered into by a Selling Securityholder pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, that are in place at the time of an offering pursuant to this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement hereto that provide for periodic sales of their securities on the basis of parameters described in such trading plans;

    to or through underwriters or broker-dealers;

    in "at the market" offerings, as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act, at negotiated prices, at prices prevailing at the time of sale or at prices related to such prevailing market prices, including sales made directly on a national securities exchange or sales made through a market maker other than on an exchange or other similar offerings through sales agents;

    in privately negotiated transactions;

    in options transactions;

    through a combination of any of the above methods of sale; or

    any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

        In addition, any shares that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 under the Securities Act rather than pursuant to this prospectus.

Table of Contents

        To the extent required, this prospectus may be amended or supplemented from time to time to describe a specific plan of distribution. Subject to the provisions of our Securities Trading Policy, which is applicable to members of our Board of Directors and certain of their affiliates, in connection with distributions of the shares or otherwise, the Selling Securityholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions. In connection with such transactions, broker-dealers or other financial institutions may engage in short sales of shares of Common Stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume with Selling Securityholders. The Selling Securityholders may also sell shares of Common Stock short and redeliver the shares to close out such short positions. The Selling Securityholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction). The Selling Securityholders may also pledge shares to a broker-dealer or other financial institution, and, upon a default, such broker-dealer or other financial institution, may effect sales of the pledged shares pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

        Subject to the provisions of our Securities Trading Policy, as applicable, a Selling Securityholder may enter into derivative transactions with third parties, or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. If the applicable prospectus supplement indicates, in connection with those derivatives, the third parties may sell securities covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, including in short sale transactions. If so, the third party may use securities pledged by any Selling Securityholder or borrowed from any Selling Securityholder or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of stock, and may use securities received from any Selling Securityholder in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of stock. The third party in such sale transactions will be an underwriter and will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement (or a post-effective amendment). In addition, any Selling Securityholder may otherwise loan or pledge securities to a financial institution or other third party that in turn may sell the securities short using this prospectus. Such financial institution or other third party may transfer its economic short position to investors in our securities or in connection with a concurrent offering of other securities.

        In effecting sales, broker-dealers or agents engaged by the Selling Securityholder may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate. Broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions, discounts or concessions from the Selling Securityholders in amounts to be negotiated immediately prior to the sale.

        In offering the shares covered by this prospectus, the Selling Securityholders and any broker-dealers who execute sales for the Selling Securityholders may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

        The following summary of the material terms of our securities is not intended to be a complete summary of the rights and preferences of such securities. We urge you to read our certificate of incorporation in its entirety for a complete description of the rights and preferences of our securities.

General

        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 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 Class A common stock and 100,000,000 shares of 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

19


Table of Contents

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.

        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 any applicable prospectus or 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:

    the title and stated value;

    the number of shares we are offering;

    the liquidation preference per share;

    the purchase price per share;

    the dividend rate per share, dividend period and payment dates and method of calculation for dividends;

    whether dividends will be cumulative or non-cumulative and, if cumulative, the date from which dividends will accumulate;

    our right, if any, to defer payment of dividends and the maximum length of any such deferral period;

    the procedures for any auction and remarketing, if any;

    the provisions for a sinking fund, if any;

    the provisions for redemption or repurchase, if applicable, and any restrictions on our ability to exercise those redemption and repurchase rights;

    any listing of the Preferred Stock on any securities exchange or market;

    whether the Preferred Stock will be convertible into our Common Stock or other securities of ours, including depositary shares and warrants, and, if applicable, the conversion period, the conversion price, or how it will be calculated, and under what circumstances it may be adjusted;

    whether the Preferred Stock will be exchangeable into debt securities, and, if applicable, the exchange period, the exchange price, or how it will be calculated, and under what circumstances it may be adjusted;

    voting rights, if any, of the Preferred Stock;

    preemption rights, if any;

    restrictions on transfer, sale or other assignment, if any;

    whether interests in the Preferred Stock will be represented by depositary shares;

    a discussion of any material or special United States federal income tax considerations applicable to the Preferred Stock;

    the relative ranking and preferences of the Preferred Stock as to dividend rights and rights if we liquidate, dissolve or wind up our affairs;

20


Table of Contents

    any limitations on issuances of any class or series of Preferred Stock ranking senior to or on a parity with the series of Preferred Stock being issued as to dividend rights and rights if we liquidate, dissolve or wind up our affairs; and

    any other specific terms, rights, preferences, privileges, qualifications or restrictions of the Preferred Stock.

        The General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "DGCL"), 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

        We have outstanding warrants exercisable for 22,183,512 shares of Common Stock, consisting of: (i) warrants issued in connection with Double Eagle's initial public offering, each exercisable for one-half of one share of Common Stock (the "Public Warrants"); (ii) warrants issued in a private placement in connection with our initial public offering, each exercisable for one-half of one share of Common Stock, (the "Private Warrants," and together with the Public Warrants, the "2015 Warrants"); and (iii) the ModSpace Warrants, each exercisable for one share of Common Stock issued in connection with our acquisition of Modular Space Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation. The 2015 Warrants were issued under a warrant agreement dated September 10, 2015, between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent, and Double Eagle. The ModSpace Warrants were issued under a warrant agreement dated August 15, 2018, between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent, and us (the "ModSpace Warrant Agreement").

        The ModSpace Warrants were issued under the ModSpace Warrant Agreement. You should review a copy of the ModSpace Warrant Agreement, which is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus 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, at any time. The Public Warrants will expire on November 29, 2022, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

        We may call the Public Warrants for redemption in whole and not in part, at a price of $0.01 per warrant, upon not less than 30 days' prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder and if, and only if, the last reported sale price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three business days before we send the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

        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,

21


Table of Contents

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 our 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 Double Eagle's initial public offering. The Private Warrants may be exercised at any time. So long as the Private Warrants are held by the initial shareholders 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 shareholders or their 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.

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.

Dividends

        We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock to date. The payment of cash dividends in the future will be dependent upon our revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and general financial condition. The payment of any cash dividends is within the discretion of our Board. In addition, our Board is not currently contemplating and does not anticipate declaring any stock dividends in the foreseeable future. Further, our ability to declare dividends is limited by restrictive covenants contained in the agreements governing the indebtedness of our subsidiaries.

Registration Rights

        In connection with the closing of the Business Combination, we, Sapphire, Algeco/Scotsman S.à r.l. ("A/S Holdings"), and certain other parties named on the signature pages thereto, entered into 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, Sapphire and A/S Holdings with certain demand, shelf and piggyback registration rights covering all shares of Class A 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, A/S Holdings 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, A/S Holdings 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

22


Table of Contents

the 2017 Registration Rights Agreement) in connection with any demand, shelf or piggyback registration by any of Sapphire, A/S Holdings or the Initiating Holders.

        In connection with the closing of the ModSpace Acquisition, we entered into the 2018 Registration Rights Agreement by and among the Company and the ModSpace Investors 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.

Certain Anti-Takeover Provisions of Delaware Law, the Company's Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws

        We are subject to Section 203 of the DGCL, which we refer to as "Section 203," regulating corporate takeovers.

        Section 203 prevents certain Delaware corporations, under certain circumstances, from engaging in a "business combination" with:

    a stockholder who owns fifteen percent (15%) or more of our outstanding voting stock (otherwise known as an "interested stockholder");

    an affiliate of an interested stockholder; or

    an associate of an interested stockholder, for three years following the date that the stockholder became an interested stockholder.

        A "business combination" includes a merger or sale of more than ten percent (10%) of our assets. However, the above provisions of Section 203 do not apply if:

    our Board approves the transaction that made the stockholder an "interested stockholder," prior to the date of the transaction;

    after the completion of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, that stockholder owned at least eighty-five percent (85%) of our voting stock outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, other than statutorily excluded shares of common stock; or

    on or subsequent to the date of the transaction, the business combination is approved by our Board and authorized at a meeting of our stockholders, and not by written consent, by an affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock not owned by the interested stockholder.

23


Table of Contents

        Our Certificate of Incorporation, bylaws and the DGCL contain provisions that could have the effect of rendering more difficult, delaying or preventing an acquisition deemed undesirable by our Board. These provisions could also make it difficult for stockholders to take certain actions, including electing directors who are not nominated by the members of our Board or taking other corporate actions, including effecting changes in our management. For instance, our Certificate of Incorporation provides that our Board is classified into three classes of directors. As a result, in most circumstances, a person can gain control of our Board only by successfully engaging in a proxy contest at three or more annual meetings.

        In addition, our Certificate of Incorporation does not provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors. Our Board is empowered to elect a director to fill a vacancy created by the expansion of the Board or the resignation, death, or removal of a director in certain circumstances; and our advance notice provisions require that stockholders must comply with certain procedures in order to nominate candidates to our Board or to propose matters to be acted upon at a stockholders' meeting.

        Our authorized but unissued common stock and preferred stock are available for future issuances without stockholder approval and could be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including future offerings to raise additional capital, acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued and unreserved common stock and preferred stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.

Rule 144

        Pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act ("Rule 144"), a person who has beneficially owned restricted shares of our common stock or warrants for at least six months would be entitled to sell their securities, provided that (i) such person is not deemed to have been one of our affiliates at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale and (ii) we are subject to the Exchange Act periodic reporting requirements for at least three months before the sale and have filed all required reports under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act during the 12 months (or such shorter period as we were required to file reports) preceding the sale.

        Persons who have beneficially owned restricted shares of our Common Stock or warrants for at least six months but who are our affiliates at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale, would be subject to additional restrictions, by which such person would be entitled to sell within any three-month period only a number of securities that does not exceed the greater of:

    one percent (1%) of the total number of shares of common stock then outstanding; or

    the average weekly reported trading volume of the common stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale.

        Sales by our affiliates under Rule 144 are also limited by manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about us.

Restrictions on the Use of Rule 144 by Shell Companies or Former Shell Companies

        Rule 144 is not available for the resale of securities initially issued by shell companies (other than business combination related shell companies) or issuers that have been at any time previously a shell company, such as us. However, Rule 144 also includes an important exception to this prohibition if the following conditions are met:

    the issuer of the securities that was formerly a shell company has ceased to be a shell company;

    the issuer of the securities is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act;

24


Table of Contents

    the issuer of the securities has filed all Exchange Act reports and material required to be filed, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K reports; and

    at least one year has elapsed from the time that the issuer filed current Form 10 type information with the SEC reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company.

        Upon the closing of the Business Combination, the Company ceased to be a shell company and filed the Form 10 type information required.

Transfer Agent and Warrant Agent

        The transfer agent and warrant agent for our Common Stock and warrants is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company.

Listing of Securities

        Our Common Stock is listed on Nasdaq under the symbol "WSC." Our 2015 Warrants were listed on Nasdaq under the symbol "WSCWW," were removed from listing on Nasdaq on October 8, 2018 and currently trade on the OTC Markets. The ModSpace Warrants are not listed on any exchange.

LEGAL MATTERS

        The validity of the shares of Common Stock and ModSpace Warrants offered by this prospectus has been passed upon for us by Allen & Overy LLP, New York.


EXPERTS

        The consolidated financial statements of WillScot Corporation appearing in 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, and audited financial statements to be included in subsequently filed documents will be, incorporated herein in reliance upon the report of Ernst & Young LLP pertaining to such financial statements 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 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 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.

Item 15.    Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

        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

Item 17.    Undertakings.

        (a)   The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

            (1)   To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

                (i)  to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

               (ii)  to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and

              (iii)  to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

    provided, however, that: Paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) of this section do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the

Table of Contents

    "Exchange Act"), that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

            (2)   That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

            (3)   To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

            (4)   That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:

                (i)  Each prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

               (ii)  Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5) or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii) or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

            (5)   That, for the purpose of determining liability of the Registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned Registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned Registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned Registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

                (i)  Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned Registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

               (ii)  Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned Registrant;

              (iii)  The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned Registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrant; and

              (iv)  Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned Registrant to the purchaser.

II-4


Table of Contents

            (6)   That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

        (b)   Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act 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 Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities 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 Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
