Commission File No.: 001-38186

 

This filing relates to the proposed acquisition of 100% of the limited partnership interests of Custom Truck One Source, L.P. a Delaware limited partnership and 100% of the limited liability company interests of Utility One Source GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (collectively, “CTOS” or “Custom Truck”), pursuant to the terms of that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated as of December 3, 2020.

 

Dear Valued Customer,

 

As an important Nesco customer, I am reaching out to share exciting news. We have entered into an agreement to acquire (the “Acquisition”) Custom Truck One Source (“Custom Truck” or “CTOS”), another leading provider of specialized truck and heavy equipment solutions including rental, sales and aftermarket parts and services. You can read more here https://investors.nescospecialty.com/news/news-details/2020/Nesco-Holdings-To-Acquire-Custom-Truck-One-Source-And-Create-Leading-Specialty-Rental-Equipment-Company-In-Partnership-With-Platinum-Equity/default.aspx

 

Through this combination, we will create a leading, one-stop-shop provider of specialty rental equipment serving highly attractive and growing infrastructure end-markets – including transmission and distribution, the 5G revolution build-out and critical rail and other national infrastructure initiatives. Together, the combined company will operate on a national scale with over 1,800 employees, 46 company-operated locations and more than 400 service technicians and 120 mobile service technicians available to support you.

 

By bringing together our complementary offerings, we will be able to offer you a full suite of solutions across the specialty rental equipment value chain, including equipment rental, new sales, used sales, aftermarket parts and service, and retail parts, tools and accessories. What’s more, this combination will transform Nesco’s platform to create a unique business model that should drive a better customer experience and a significant increase in the number and breadth of rental assets available. With a substantially increased rental fleet, scale-enabled purchasing benefits, maximum production and customization flexibility and a well-established new and used sales business, the combined company will be better positioned to serve you.

 

The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2021. Until that time, Nesco and Custom Truck One Source will continue to operate as separate companies and will conduct business as usual. Your company contact will remain the same and there will be no change to how we serve you. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to your regular Nesco contact.

 

We look forward to building an even stronger company that will be better positioned to serve your needs on a national basis. Thank you for your continued support, and we hope you and your families stay healthy and safe this holiday season.

 

Sincerely,

 

Lee Jacobson

Chief Executive Officer of Nesco
