Our Company

        Founded more than 50 years ago, we believe we are the largest provider of modular space solutions in North America. Operating through our network of 86 branch offices, we provide high quality, cost effective modular space solutions to a diversified client base of 25,000 customers in multiple industries including construction, education, commercial and industrial, and government. Our products, which include mobile offices, modular classrooms and other multi-unit modular structures, offer our customers flexible, low-cost, and timely solutions to meet their temporary space needs on an outsourced basis. We also provide portable storage solutions and we believe we are the third largest portable storage company in the United States. Our current modular space and portable storage lease fleet consists of approximately 99,000 units. In addition to leasing, we offer both new and used units for sale and provide delivery, installation and other ancillary products and services. As of March 31, 2006, we had invested a total of $1.2 billion in our lease fleet.

        Our business model is primarily focused on leasing rather than selling our units. We believe our leasing model is highly attractive because our lease fleet:

    generates recurring revenues from our units leased to customers with an average lease duration of 27 months;

    has average monthly leasing rates which recoup our average unit investment in approximately 4 years;

1


    maintains a high utilization level that has averaged 82% over the last 10 years;

    consists of units with useful lives approximating 20 years which retain substantial residual values throughout these periods; and

    produces incremental leasing operating margins of more than 60% (i.e. the contribution of an existing unit put on lease after reductions for cost of leasing, associated commissions and depreciation).

        Since 1997, we have doubled the size of our fleet and increased the size of our branch network, both organically and through selective strategic acquisitions. As a result of these and other factors, from 1997 to 2005, we were able to increase our revenues at a compound annual growth rate, or "CAGR," of 12.2%.

        Our modular space fleet consists of approximately 77,000 modular space units, which are generally comprised of standardized, versatile products that can be configured to meet a wide variety of customer needs. All of our modular space units are intended to provide convenient, comfortable space for occupants at a location of their choosing. The units are fitted with axles and hitches and are towed to various locations. Our units are wood or aluminum framed, mounted on a steel chassis, contain materials used in conventional buildings and are equipped with air conditioning and heating, electrical outlets and, where necessary, plumbing facilities. For many applications, our units can be combined into multi-unit configurations to meet the space needs of our customers. We believe that our units are durable, flexible and generally rent based upon condition rather than age. As a result, our units retain most of their initial value over their useful lives. Over the past ten years, we have sold modular space units from our lease fleet at an average gross margin of 23.2%.

        Our portable storage fleet of approximately 22,000 units is primarily comprised of steel containers, which address the need for secure, temporary, on-site storage of customer goods on a flexible, low-cost basis. We believe that our portable storage fleet provides a complementary product to cross-sell to our modular space customers, as well as to serve new customers.

        The Modular Building Institute, in its State of the Industry 2005 report, estimates that the U.S. modular space industry dealers generated in excess of $3.0 billion of leasing and sales revenues in 2004. The modular space industry has expanded rapidly over the last thirty years as the number of applications for modular space has increased and recognition of the product's positive attributes has grown. By outsourcing their space needs, customers are able to achieve flexibility, preserve capital for core operations, and convert fixed costs into variable costs. The industry remains highly fragmented, and we and GE Capital Modular Space are the two largest providers in the industry.

        We are also a major participant in the U.S. portable storage industry, and although there are, to our knowledge, no publicly available estimates of the size of the industry, we believe the size of the portable storage industry is expanding due to increasing awareness of the advantages of portable storage. The portable storage industry provides customers with a flexible and low-cost storage alternative to permanent warehouse space and fixed-site self storage by addressing the need for security, convenience and immediate accessibility. The portable storage industry is also highly fragmented and Mobile Mini, Inc. is the largest provider in the industry.

2



        We believe that our business benefits from several strengths that enable us to serve our customers more effectively:

    Market Leadership with Significant Scale. We are one of the only industry participants with an extensive, nationwide branch network, with breadth and depth of fleet at the local level, and with the technical expertise and operational capabilities that can provide a full range of solutions including mobile offices, modular classrooms, and larger commercial applications.

    Customer Service Focus. Our branches are staffed by sales personnel who work with our customers to define and solve their space needs. We have over 1,200 sales and service personnel at our branches and managed over 112,000 deliveries and returns of our modular space and portable storage units in 2005.

    Effective Fleet Management. Our proprietary management information systems and fleet management initiatives allow us to actively manage our lease fleet to maximize customer satisfaction, optimize fleet utilization and rental rates, and to control new unit capital spending.

    High Degree of Diversity. We serve a highly diversified customer base of more than 25,000 customers, across a variety of industries and geographies. Our top ten largest customers accounted for approximately 11.0% of our 2005 revenues.

    Experienced Management with Significant Equity Ownership. We have an experienced and proven management team that is led by our President and Chief Executive Officer, Gerard Holthaus, who has been with us since 1994. Members of our management team hold significant equity investments in our company.

        Our goal is to remain the leading provider of modular space solutions in North America and to increase revenues while maximizing our profitability and income growth. Our strategy for growth includes the following: (1) increase the utilization and rental rate of our existing lease fleet; (2) expand our lease fleet through purchases of new units and selective acquisitions of units from third parties; (3) further penetrate the education sector where we have expanded our revenue from 20% to 28% of our total revenue from 2000 to 2005; (4) expand our sales business to meet the increased demand from our customers; (5) grow our portable storage business which is highly complementary to our modular space business; and (6) grow our European business to capitalize on what we believe is an attractive geographic expansion opportunity.

        Our business is subject to numerous risks, which are highlighted in the section entitled "Risk Factors" immediately following this summary. For example, demand from our customers, particularly those in the nonresidential construction industry and the education sector, could be hurt by weak economic conditions. We also face significant competition in the modular and portable space industry from a variety of companies, some of whom have greater financial resources than we do. Moreover, our growth strategy is dependent in part on identifying and completing transactions with attractive acquisition candidates and on expanding into Europe where we will face business, regulatory and other risks that are different than those in North America.

2005 Refinancing Transactions

        Williams Scotsman completed the offering of $350 million aggregate principal amount of the original notes on September 29, 2005. In connection with the offering of the original notes:

      Williams Scotsman International completed an initial public offering of its common stock and received net proceeds of approximately $223 million;

      Williams Scotsman repurchased or redeemed all of the $550 million aggregate principal amount of its 9.875% Senior Notes due 2007 (the "9.875% Notes"); and

      Williams Scotsman repurchased $148.2 million aggregate principal amount of its 10.0% Senior Secured Notes due 2008 (the "10.0% Notes").

        In addition, on June 28, 2005, Williams Scotsman entered into a $650 million amended and restated credit facility (the "Amended and Restated Credit Facility") that refinanced or extended the maturity of the indebtedness under its prior credit facility (the "Prior Credit Facility"), lowered our interest costs and amended the restrictive covenants to provide us greater financial and operating flexibility.

        We used the proceeds from the offering of the original notes, together with the net proceeds from the initial public offering and the borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility, to repurchase or redeem the 9.875% Notes, repurchase the 10.0% Notes and pay premium costs, accrued interest and transaction fees and expenses. We refer collectively to the transactions described above, including the offering of the original senior notes, as the "2005 Refinancing Transactions."

2006 Financing Transactions

        Williams Scotsman completed the offering of $100 million aggregate principal amount of the new notes on April 18, 2006. In connection with the offering of the new notes, we amended the Amended and Restated Credit Facility to permit the issuance of the new notes, to extend the maturity of the Amended and Restated Credit Facility, to lower the applicable margins on the interest rates, to provide for a more favorable borrowing base calculation, to revise the restrictive covenants to grant us greater flexibility to incur debt and make acquisitions and to revise the change of control provision. See "Description of Other Indebtedness—Amended and Restated Credit Facility." In addition, Williams Scotsman International completed an offering of its common stock on May 16, 2006, which we refer to as the "equity offering." Williams Scotsman International received estimated net proceeds of approximately $52.9 million in the equity offering and the selling stockholders participating in the equity offering received net proceeds of approximately $163.8 million. We used the net proceeds from the offering of the new notes, together with the net proceeds to us from the equity offering, to repay a portion of our outstanding indebtedness under the revolving credit facility of our Amended and Restated Credit Facility and pay related transaction fees and expenses. See "Use of Proceeds." We refer collectively to the transactions described above, including the offering of the new notes, as the "2006 Financing Transactions."

the trading market for your initial notes will become more limited to the extent other holders of initial notes participate in the exchange offer.

 

 

You will not be able to require us to register the new notes under the Securities Act unless:

 

 


 

there is a violation of applicable law or interpretations of the staff of the Commission and, as a result, we are not permitted to effect an exchange offer;

Guarantees   On the issue date of the exchange notes, Williams Scotsman International and all of the subsidiaries of Williams Scotsman, other than Willscot, which we also refer to as the "guarantors" collectively, that guarantee Williams Scotsman's Amended and Restated Credit Facility, will jointly, severally and unconditionally guarantee the exchange notes on a senior unsecured basis. Willscot, which we also refer to as the "subordinated guarantor," will guarantee the exchange notes on a subordinated basis. None of the other subsidiaries of Williams Scotsman International or the foreign subsidiaries of Williams Scotsman (other than its Canadian subsidiary) will guarantee the exchange notes. If Williams Scotsman creates or acquires a new subsidiary that guarantees indebtedness under any Credit Facility (as described in the "Description of Notes"), or if one of the existing subsidiaries of Williams Scotsman becomes a guarantor of indebtedness under any Credit Facility, then that subsidiary (other than any foreign subsidiary that only guarantees indebtedness of another foreign subsidiary) will guarantee the exchange notes, on a
         

9


    senior unsecured basis, unless Williams Scotsman designates the subsidiary as an "unrestricted subsidiary" under the indenture governing the notes.
Ranking   The exchange notes will be the senior unsecured obligations of Williams Scotsman, and will rank equally with the existing and future senior unsecured obligations of Williams Scotsman, including the initial notes and the registered notes, and senior to all of the existing and future subordinated indebtedness of Williams Scotsman. The guarantees of the exchange notes by Williams Scotsman International and certain subsidiaries of Williams Scotsman other than Willscot will rank equally with existing and future senior unsecured obligations, including the unconditional guarantees of the initial notes and the registered notes of such guarantors, and senior to all existing and future subordinated indebtedness of such guarantors. The subordinated guarantee of the exchange notes by Willscot will rank equally with the unconditional subordinated guarantee of Willscot of the initial notes and the registered notes and will be subordinated to all of its senior obligations (including its guarantee of the Amended and Restated Credit Facility).
    The exchange notes, the guarantees and the subordinated guarantee related thereto rank effectively junior to any secured indebtedness of Williams Scotsman, the guarantors and Willscot and any indebtedness and other liabilities of any non-guarantor subsidiaries of Williams Scotsman.
    As of March 31, 2006, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the 2006 Financing Transactions, the exchange notes and the guarantees related thereto would have ranked effectively junior to approximately $513.5 million of secured indebtedness under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility to the extent of the security and $0.7 million of liabilities of the non- guarantor subsidiaries.
Optional Redemption   Except as described below, we cannot redeem the notes until October 1, 2010. Thereafter we may redeem some or all of the notes at the redemption prices listed in the "Description of Notes" section under the heading "Optional Redemption," plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption. In addition, we may redeem up to 35% of the notes on or prior to October 1, 2008 with the net proceeds of certain equity offerings at a redemption price of 108.50% plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption.
    If a change of control occurs, we may redeem the notes at the redemption prices described in the "Description of Notes—Optional Redemption—Optional Redemption Upon Change of Control."
         

10


Change of Control Offer   If a change of control occurs, we must give the holders the opportunity to sell their notes to us at 101% of their face amount plus accrued and unpaid interest.
    We might not be able to pay you the required price for notes you present to us at the time of a change of control, because:
      we might not have enough funds at that time; or
      the terms of our other senior debt may prevent us from making such payment.
Asset Sale Proceeds   If Williams Scotsman and certain of its subsidiaries engage in asset sales, Williams Scotsman and certain of its subsidiaries generally must either invest the net cash proceeds from such sales in our business within a period of time, prepay other senior debt or make an offer to purchase a principal amount of the notes equal to the excess net cash proceeds. The purchase price of the notes will be 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest.
Certain Indenture Provisions   The indenture contains covenants that, among other things, limit Williams Scotsman's (and certain of its subsidiaries') ability to:
      incur additional debt;
      make restricted payments (including paying dividends on, redeeming or repurchasing our or our subsidiaries' capital stock);
      make certain investments or acquisitions;
      grant liens on our assets;
      engage in transactions with affiliates;
      merge, consolidate or transfer substantially all of our assets; and
      sell assets.
    These covenants are subject to a number of important limitations and exceptions. In addition, except for certain limited exceptions, the covenants will not apply to Williams Scotsman International and its other subsidiaries.
Use of Proceeds   We will not receive any proceeds from the issuance of the exchange notes in exchange for the initial notes. We are conducting this exchange offer solely to satisfy our obligations under the registration rights agreement entered into in connection with the offering of the new notes. Although not contractually obligated to do so, we have included the outstanding original notes in this exchange offer.
         

11


Absence of a Public Market for the Exchange Notes   The exchange notes are new securities with no established market for them. We cannot assure you that a market for these exchange notes will develop or that this market will be liquid. Please refer to the section of this prospectus entitled "Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Exchange Notes—There is no established trading market for the exchange notes."
Form of the Exchange Notes   The exchange notes will be represented by one or more permanent global securities in registered form deposited on behalf of The Depository Trust Company with The Bank of New York, as custodian. You will not receive exchange notes in certificated form unless one of the events described in the section of this prospectus entitled "Book Entry; Delivery and Form—Exchange of Book Entry Notes for Certificated Notes" occurs. Instead, beneficial interests in the exchange notes will be shown on, and transfers of these exchange notes will be effected only through, records maintained in book-entry form by The Depository Trust Company with respect to its participants.
Risk Factors   Investing in the notes involves substantial risks. See "Risk Factors" for a description of certain of the risks you should consider before investing in the notes.

The only differences between historical net income and pro forma net income are tax adjusted interest expense and loss on early extinguishment of debt.

(2)
Based on the application of net proceeds to us of $52.9 million from the equity offering, which is based on the offering of 2,101,724 shares by Williams Scotsman International at an offering price of $26.25 per share and the exercise price of stock options of approximately $2.0 million from management selling stockholders.

(3)
Unaudited pro forma as adjusted basic and diluted net income per share is computed by dividing unaudited pro forma as adjusted net income by weighted average number of common shares.

(4)
We define EBITDA as earnings before deducting interest, loss on extinguishment of debt, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. We believe that EBITDA provides useful and relevant information to our investors because it is used by our management to evaluate the operating performance of our business and compare our operating performance with that of our competitors. Management also uses EBITDA for planning purposes, including the preparation of annual operating budgets, and to determine appropriate levels of operating and capital investments. We utilize EBITDA as a useful alternative to net income as an indicator of our operating performance. However, EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and EBITDA should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP, such as net income. While we believe that some of the items excluded from EBITDA are not indicative of our core operating results, these items do impact our income

15


    statement, and management therefore utilizes EBITDA as an operating performance measure in conjunction with GAAP measures such as net income. Because EBITDA excludes some, but not all, items that affect net income, such as loss on extinguishment of debt, and may vary among companies, EBITDA mentioned above may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.


The table below reconciles EBITDA to net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

In December 2003, we adopted a strategic disposal initiative. In accordance with SFAS No. 144, we recorded a non-cash $19.4 million impairment charge in the fourth quarter of 2003 to reflect the write-down of these assets to their estimated fair value (less costs to sell). The effect on net loss for the year ended December 31, 2004 and the year ended December 31, 2005 of disposing of these units was not material.

(6)
Average utilization rate is defined as the average units on rent divided by the average total units in our rental equipment fleet during the applicable period.

(7)
Average rental rate for the indicated period represents the average of the monthly average rental rates in effect for all units on lease outstanding at the end of each month during the period.

(8)
Net capital expenditures for lease fleet represents purchases of units for the lease fleet and other capitalized costs of units, reduced by the proceeds of sales of rental equipment.

(9)
The ratio of earnings to fixed charges is computed by dividing fixed charges into earnings from continuing operations before income taxes and extraordinary items plus fixed charges. Fixed charges include interest, expensed or capitalized, including amortization of deferred financing costs and debt discount and the estimated interest component of rent expense. Earnings were insufficient to cover fixed charges by $18.8 million in the year ended December 31, 2003, $16.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2005 and $1.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2005, respectively.

RISK FACTORS

        An investment in the notes involves substantial risks. In addition to the other information in this prospectus, you should carefully consider the following factors before investing in the notes. Some statements in "Risk Factors" are forward-looking statements. See "Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements."

Risks Related to our Substantial Indebtedness

Our substantial debt could harm our financial health and may otherwise restrict our activities.

        We have a substantial amount of debt. As of March 31, 2006, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the 2006 Financing Transactions, we would have had approximately $821.0 million of indebtedness. See "Description of Other Indebtedness."

        Our substantial debt could have important consequences to you. For example, it:

    makes our company more vulnerable to general adverse economic and industry conditions;

    limits our ability to obtain additional financing for future working capital, capital expenditures, strategic acquisitions and other general corporate requirements;

    requires us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our debt, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow for operations and other purposes;

    limits our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business; and

    places us at a competitive disadvantage compared to any competitors that have less debt.

        We and our subsidiaries may be able to incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future. The terms of the indenture governing the notes and the terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Facility permit us to incur a substantial amount of additional debt. As of March 31, 2006, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the 2006 Financing Transactions, we would be permitted to borrow an additional $266.0 million of indebtedness under our Amended and Restated Credit Facility. Accordingly, this additional indebtedness could further exacerbate all the risks described above.

A substantial portion of our indebtedness is subject to variable interest rates, which makes us vulnerable to increases in interest rates.

        Our substantial indebtedness exposes us to interest rate increases because a substantial portion of our indebtedness is at variable rates. The interest rates under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility will be reset at varying periods. These periodic adjustments could expose our operating results and cash flows to periodic fluctuations. Our annual debt service obligations will increase by $3.6 million per year for each 1% increase in the average interest rate we pay, based on the balance of variable rate debt outstanding at March 31, 2006, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the 2006 Financing Transactions.

        We may use interest rate hedging arrangements and swap agreements to limit our exposure to interest rate volatility based upon management's judgment. If we enter into these arrangements, we will incur certain risks, including that our hedging or swap transactions might not achieve the desired effect in eliminating the impact of interest rate fluctuations, or that counterparties may fail to honor their obligations under these arrangements. As a result,

17



these arrangements may not be effective in reducing our exposure to interest rate fluctuations. This could reduce our net income and require us to modify our hedging strategy.

The indenture governing the notes and the terms of our Amended and Restated Credit Facility contain various covenants which limit the discretion of our management in operating our business and could prevent us from engaging in some beneficial activities.

        The indenture governing the notes and the terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Facility contain various restrictive covenants that limit our management's discretion in operating our business. In particular, these agreements include covenants relating to limitations on:

    dividends on, and redemptions and repurchases of, capital stock,

    liens and sale-leaseback transactions,

    loans and investments,

    debt and hedging arrangements,

    mergers, acquisitions and asset sales,

    transactions with affiliates, and

    changes in business activities conducted by us and our subsidiaries.

        In addition, our Amended and Restated Credit Facility requires us, under certain circumstances, to maintain certain financial ratios. It also limits our ability to make capital expenditures. See "Description of Other Indebtedness."

        If we fail to comply with the restrictions of the indenture governing the notes or the terms of our Amended and Restated Credit Facility or any other subsequent financing agreements, a default may allow the creditors, if the agreements so provide, to accelerate the related debt as well as any other debt to which a cross-acceleration or cross-default provision applies. In addition, the lenders may be able to terminate any commitments they had made to supply us with further funds. Accordingly, we may not be able to fully repay our debt obligations, if some or all of our debt obligations are accelerated upon an event of default.

Our debt service requires a significant amount of cash. We may not be able to generate sufficient cash flow to meet both our debt obligations and other requirements or obligations. This could lead us to take actions, such as reducing capital expenditures or other investments or asset sales. These actions may limit our flexibility to grow our business and to take advantage of business opportunities.

        To service our debt, we require a significant amount of cash. After giving effect to the 2006 Financing Transactions assuming they had occurred on March 31, 2006 and that the interest rate on our variable rate indebtedness remains unchanged, our debt service requirements for the twelve months ending March 31, 2007 would be approximately $66.7 million. Our ability to generate cash, make scheduled payments or to refinance our obligations depends on our successful financial and operating performance. Our operating performance, cash flow and capital resources may not be sufficient for payment of our debt in the future. Our financial and operating performance, cash flow and capital resources depend upon prevailing economic conditions, and certain financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. These factors include, among others:

    economic and competitive conditions affecting the modular and portable space industry;

18


    operating difficulties, increased operating costs or pricing pressures we may experience; and

    a decline in the resale value of our units.

        At March 31, 2006, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the 2006 Financing Transactions, the aggregate amount of indebtedness of our company would have been $821.0 million. If our cash flow and capital resources are insufficient to fund our debt service obligations, we may be forced to reduce or delay capital investments, sell material assets or operations, obtain additional capital or restructure our debt. In the event that we are required to dispose of material assets or operations or restructure our debt to meet our debt service and other obligations, the terms of such transaction may not be satisfactory and such transaction may not be completed in a timely manner. In addition, these actions may limit our flexibility to grow our business and to take advantage of business opportunities. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources."

Risks Related to the Exchange Notes

The exchange notes are unsecured and effectively subordinated to our secured indebtedness.

        The exchange notes are unsecured. The Amended and Restated Credit Facility (and potentially any refinancing of it) and the remaining $1.8 million of the outstanding 10.0% Notes are secured by substantially all of our assets and the assets of certain of the subsidiaries of Williams Scotsman. If we become insolvent or are liquidated, or if payment under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility or any of our other secured debt obligations is accelerated, our lenders will be entitled to exercise the remedies available to a secured lender under applicable law and will have a claim on those assets before the holders of the notes. As a result, the exchange notes are effectively subordinated to our secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing that indebtedness and the holders of the exchange notes may recover ratably less than the lenders of our secured debt in the event of our bankruptcy or liquidation. As of March 31, 2006, on a pro forma basis, after giving effect to the 2006 Financing Transactions, we would have had approximately $363.5 million of senior secured indebtedness outstanding under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility, and approximately $266.0 million of additional borrowing availability under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that there will be sufficient assets remaining after satisfying our obligations under our senior secured debt to pay amounts due on the exchange notes.

Releases of the guarantees of the exchange notes or additional guarantees may be controlled under some circumstances by the collateral agent acting at the direction of the lenders under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility of Williams Scotsman.

        The exchange notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior basis by each of the subsidiaries of Williams Scotsman, other than Willscot, that guarantee the Amended and Restated Credit Facility and are guaranteed on a subordinated basis by Willscot. Under the terms of the indenture governing the exchange notes, a guarantee of the exchange notes made by a guarantor will be released without any action on the part of the trustee or any holder of exchange notes if the collateral agent releases the guarantee of the obligations under any Credit Facility made by that guarantor. Additional releases of the guarantees of the exchange notes are permitted under some circumstances. See "Description of Notes—Guarantees of the Notes." If a guarantee is released, you will not have a claim against that

19



guarantor and will only be a creditor of Williams Scotsman or any guarantor whose obligation was not released.

The subsidiaries of Williams Scotsman International and certain foreign subsidiaries of Williams Scotsman will not guarantee the exchange notes, and your right to receive payments on the exchange notes could be adversely affected if any of these non-guarantor subsidiaries declare bankruptcy, liquidate or reorganize.

        The subsidiaries of Williams Scotsman International and the Mexican and European subsidiaries of Williams Scotsman will not guarantee the exchange notes. The non-guarantor subsidiaries of Williams Scotsman generated 0.5% of our revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2006. In addition, although all of the domestic subsidiaries and the Canadian subsidiary of Williams Scotsman on the issue date will guarantee the exchange notes, certain subsidiaries that Williams Scotsman creates or acquires in the future may not be required to guarantee the exchange notes. In the event that any of these non-guarantor subsidiaries becomes insolvent, liquidates, reorganizes, dissolves or otherwise winds up, holders of their indebtedness and their trade creditors will generally be entitled to payment on their claims from the assets of those subsidiaries before any of those assets are made available to us. Consequently, your claims in respect of the exchange notes will be structurally subordinated to all of the liabilities of our non-guarantor subsidiaries. As of March 31, 2006, the exchange notes would have been effectively subordinated to approximately $0.7 million of liabilities (including trade payables) of the non-guarantor subsidiaries of Williams Scotsman.

Willscot's guarantee of the exchange notes is subordinated to its existing and future senior obligations.

        Willscot's guarantee of the exchange notes is subordinated in right of payment to its existing and future senior obligations, including Willscot's senior secured guarantee of our obligations under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility and any refinancing of it. Under some circumstances, Willscot may not make payments on its subordinated guarantee of the exchange notes if a payment default or non-payment default exists relating to Willscot's senior obligations, including its obligations under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility. If holders of the exchange notes are required to turn over amounts received by them to the holders of Willscot's senior obligations, the rights of the holders of the exchange notes will be secondary to the rights of the holders of Willscot's senior obligations, and therefore subject to any available defenses or avoidance powers with respect to those obligations.

The guarantees may not be enforceable because of fraudulent conveyance laws.

        The incurrence of the guarantees by the subsidiary guarantors (including any future guarantees) may be subject to review under U.S. federal bankruptcy law or relevant state fraudulent conveyance laws if a bankruptcy case or lawsuit is commenced by or on behalf of the subsidiary guarantors' unpaid creditors. Under these laws, if in such a case or lawsuit a court were to find that, at the time such subsidiary guarantor incurred a guarantee of the notes, such subsidiary guarantor:

    incurred the guarantee of the exchange notes with the intent of hindering, delaying or defrauding current or future creditors;

    received less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for incurring the guarantee of the exchange notes and such subsidiary guarantor;

    was insolvent or was rendered insolvent;

20


    was engaged, or about to engage, in a business or transaction for which its remaining assets constituted unreasonably small capital to carry on its business; or

    intended to incur, or believed that it would incur, debts beyond its ability to pay as such debts matured (as all of the foregoing terms are defined in or interpreted under the relevant fraudulent transfer or conveyance statutes);

then such court could avoid the guarantee of such subsidiary guarantor or subordinate the amounts owing under such guarantee to such subsidiary guarantor's presently existing or future debt or take other actions detrimental to you.

        It may be asserted that the subsidiary guarantors incurred their guarantees for our benefit and they incurred the obligations under the guarantees for less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration.

        The measure of insolvency for purposes of the foregoing considerations will vary depending upon the law of the jurisdiction that is being applied in any such proceeding. Generally, a company would be considered insolvent if, at the time it incurred the debt or issued the guarantee, either:

    the sum of its debts (including contingent liabilities) is greater than its assets, at fair valuation;

    the present fair saleable value of its assets is less than the amount required to pay the probable liability on its total existing debts and liabilities including contingent liabilities) as they become absolute and matured; or

    it could not pay its debts as they became due.

        If a guarantee is avoided as a fraudulent conveyance or found to be unenforceable for any reason, you will not have a claim against that obligor and will only be a creditor of Williams Scotsman or any subsidiary guarantor whose obligation was not set aside or found to be unenforceable.

        We believe that each subsidiary guarantor will receive, directly and indirectly, reasonably equivalent value for the incurrence of its respective guarantee. In addition, on the basis of historical financial information, recent operating history and other factors, we believe that each subsidiary guarantor, after giving effect to its respective guarantee will not be insolvent, will not have unreasonably small capital for the business in which it is engaged and will not have incurred debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature. We cannot assure you, however, as to what standard a court would apply in making such determinations or that a court would agree with our conclusions in this regard.

We may be unable to purchase the exchange notes upon a change of control.

        Upon the occurrence of specified "change of control" events, we will be required to offer to purchase each holder's exchange notes at a price of 101% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, unless all exchange notes have been previously called for redemption. The occurrence of a change of control also could constitute an event of default under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility and/or any of our future credit agreements, in which case our lenders may terminate their commitments under our credit agreements and accelerate all amounts outstanding under the credit agreements. Our bank lenders may also have the right to prohibit any such purchase or redemption, in which event we would be in default on the notes. See "Description of Notes—Defaults."

21



There is no established trading market for the exchange notes.

        The exchange notes are new securities for which there is currently no established market, and we cannot be sure if an active trading market will develop for the exchange notes, if any. We do not intend to apply for listing of the exchange notes, on any securities exchange or on any automated dealer quotation system. The initial purchasers of the new notes were Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Banc of America Securities LLC and Lehman Brothers Inc. Although we were informed by the initial purchasers as of the issue date of the new notes that they intended to make a market for the exchange notes, they are not obligated to do so and any market making may be discontinued at any time without notice. In addition, market making activity may be limited during the pendency of the exchange offer or the effectiveness of the exchange offer registration statement.

        The liquidity of, and trading market for, the exchange notes, may also be adversely affected by, among other things:

    changes in the overall market for high yield securities;

    changes in our financial performance or prospects;

    the prospects for companies in our industry generally;

    the number of holders of the exchange notes;

    the interest of securities dealers in making a market for the exchange notes; and

    prevailing interest rates.

Risks Related to the Exchange Offer

The issuance of the exchange notes may adversely affect the market for the initial notes.

        To the extent the initial notes are tendered and accepted in the exchange offer, the trading market for the untendered and tendered but unaccepted initial notes could be adversely affected. Because we anticipate that most holders of the initial notes will elect to exchange their initial notes for exchange notes due to the absence of restrictions on the resale of exchange notes under the Securities Act, we anticipate that the liquidity of the market for any initial notes remaining after the completion of this exchange offer may be substantially limited. Please refer to the section in this prospectus entitled "The Exchange Offer—Your Failure to Participate in the Exchange Offer Will Have Adverse Consequences."

Some persons who participate in the exchange offer must deliver a prospectus in connection with resales of the exchange notes.

        Based on interpretations of the staff of the Commission contained in Exxon Capital Holdings Corp., SEC no-action letter (April 13, 1988), Morgan Stanley & Co. Inc., SEC no-action letter (June 5, 1991) and Shearman & Sterling, SEC no-action letter (July 2, 1983), we believe that you may offer for resale, resell or otherwise transfer the exchange notes without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. However, in some instances described in this prospectus under "Plan of Distribution," you will remain obligated to comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act to transfer your exchange notes. In these cases, if you transfer any exchange note without delivering a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act or without an exemption from registration of your exchange notes under the Securities Act, you may incur liability under this act. We do not and will not assume, or indemnify you against, this liability.

Risks Related to Our Business

General or localized economic downturns or weakness may adversely affect our customers, in particular those in the nonresidential construction industry and the education sector, which may cause the demand for our products and services to decline and therefore harm our revenues and profitability.

        Our revenues are derived from customers who are in industries and businesses that are cyclical in nature and subject to changes in general economic conditions, such as the nonresidential construction industry. In addition, because we conduct our operations in a variety of markets, we are subject to economic conditions in each of these markets. During 2005, we have experienced improvement in the market place; however prior to 2005, our business was adversely impacted by overall soft economic conditions, which affected our construction customers primarily, and state budget issues in certain parts of the country that have affected our education customers. As a result of this economic downturn, we incurred a net loss of approximately $3.4 million in 2004.

        Although our product, customer, industry and geographic diversity limits our exposure to economic downturns, general economic downturns or localized downturns in markets where we have operations, including any downturns in the construction industry, which constituted approximately 29% of our revenues in 2005, could reduce demand for our products and negatively impact our revenues and profitability. In addition, at the present time we are unable to predict what long-term effect, if any, recent political events, including those relating to, or arising out of the growing threat of terrorism, and their attendant consequences will have on our business. Any of the foregoing economic or political events could negatively affect our industry or industries in which our customers operate, which may cause the demand for our products and services to decline and therefore harm our revenues and profitability.

We face significant competition in the modular and portable space industry, especially from our primary national competitor, which has greater financial resources and pricing flexibility than we do. If we are unable to compete successfully, we could lose customers and our revenues and profitability could decline.

        Although our competition varies significantly by market, the modular space industry, in general, is highly competitive. We compete primarily in terms of product availability, customer service and price. We believe that our reputation for customer service and our ability to offer a wide selection of units suitable for various uses at competitive prices allows us to compete effectively. However, our primary national competitor, GE Capital Modular Space, is less leveraged, has greater market share or product availability in some markets, and has greater financial resources and pricing flexibility than we do. If we are unable to compete successfully, we could lose customers which could reduce our revenues and profitability.

We may not be able to remarket our units effectively should a significant number of our lease units be returned during any short period of time, which could adversely affect our financial performance and our ability to continue expanding our fleet.

        Our typical lease terms, which include contractual provisions requiring customers to retain units on lease for, on average, 15 months, actually have an average lease duration of 27 months. Because our customers generally rent our units for periods longer than the contractual lease terms, 59% of our leases are on a month-to-month basis as of December 31, 2005. In addition, 23% of our leases have contractual lease terms expiring within six months as of December 31, 2005. These aspects of our leasing business have remained generally

23



consistent over the last several years. Should a significant number of our leased units be returned during any short period of time, a large supply of units would need to be remarketed. Our failure to effectively remarket a large influx of units returning from leases could have a material adverse effect on our financial performance and our ability to continue expanding our fleet.

A significant reduction of funding to public schools or contraction of class size reduction programs could cause the demand for our modular classroom units to decline, which, as a result, may reduce our revenues and profitability.

        We generated 28% of our revenues in 2005 from our education customers, which include public school facilities. Funding for public school facilities is derived from a variety of sources including, among other things, various taxes levied to support school operating budgets. Any material interruption of these sources or a lack of fiscal funding could result in a significant reduction of funding to public schools, which may negatively impact the budget of public schools and cause the demand for our modular classroom units to decline. In addition, any contraction or elimination of class size reduction programs could cause the demand for our modular classrooms to decline. Any decline in demand for our modular classrooms may reduce our revenue and profitability.

Certain related parties of The Cypress Group L.L.C. and Keystone Group, L.P. exercise significant influence over us. The interests of these stockholders may conflict with your interests.

        Williams Scotsman International's large shareholders, which include related parties of The Cypress Group L.L.C. ("Cypress") and Keystone Group, L.P. ("Keystone"), beneficially own in the aggregate approximately 28.02% of its outstanding common stock as of May 17, 2006. Accordingly, these parties exercise significant influence over all matters requiring a stockholders' vote, including the composition of its board of directors, the adoption of amendments to its amended and restated certificate of incorporation and the approval of mergers or sales of substantially all of its assets. This concentration of ownership also may delay, defer or even prevent a change in control of our company and may make some transactions more difficult or impossible without the support of these stockholders. The interests of these stockholders may conflict with your interests.

Any failure of our management information systems could disrupt our business and result in decreased rental or sale revenues and increased overhead costs, which could negatively impact our profitability.

        We depend on our management information systems to actively manage our lease fleet, control new unit capital spending and provide fleet information, including leasing history, condition, and availability of our units. These functions enhance our ability to optimize fleet utilization, rentability and redeployment. The failure of our management information systems to perform as we anticipate could disrupt our business and could result in, among other things, decreased rental or sales and increased overhead costs, which could negatively impact our profitability.

24



Federal and state regulations could impose substantial costs and/or restrictions on our operations that could harm our results of operations. If we are unable to pass these increased costs to our customers, our profitability and operating cash flows could be negatively impacted.

        We are subject to various federal, state and local environmental, transportation, health and safety laws and regulations in connection with our operations. Any failure to comply with these laws or regulations could result in capital or operating expenditures or the imposition of severe penalties or restrictions on our operations. In addition, these laws and regulations could change in a manner that materially and adversely affects our ability to conduct our business. More burdensome regulatory requirements in these or other areas may increase our general and administrative costs. If we are unable to pass these increased costs on to our customers, our profitability and operating cash flows could be negatively impacted. See "Business—Regulatory Matters."

Our sale transactions constitute a significant portion of our revenues. The completion of these sale transactions are subject to a number of factors beyond our control. Failure to close our sale transactions as projected could cause our actual revenues or cash flow for a particular quarter or longer period to differ from forecasted estimates.

        Sales of new modular space and portable storage units and rental equipment to customers in 2005, excluding delivery, site work and other ancillary sales revenue, approximated 28% of our total revenue. The completion of sale transactions is subject to certain factors that are beyond our control, including permit requirements and weather conditions. Accordingly, the actual timing of the completion of these transactions may be different from their forecasted schedules. As a result, our actual revenues and cash flow in a particular quarter or over a longer period of time may not consistently correlate to our forecasted estimates. In addition, if we do not accurately forecast our activity, we may improperly plan or budget, which could cause us to violate our debt covenants and harm our liquidity. As a result, we may not be able to take advantage of business and growth opportunities otherwise available to us.

We may not be able to facilitate our growth strategy by identifying or completing transactions with attractive acquisition candidates, which could impair our growth and profitability of our business.

        An important element of our growth strategy is to continue to seek additional businesses to acquire in order to add new customers within our existing markets and expand into new markets. Any future growth through acquisitions will be partially dependent upon the continued availability of suitable acquisition candidates at favorable prices, upon advantageous terms and conditions and upon successful integration of the acquired businesses. However, future acquisitions may not be available at advantageous prices or upon favorable terms and conditions. In addition, acquisitions involve risks that the businesses acquired will not perform in accordance with expectations, that business judgments concerning the value, strengths and weaknesses of businesses acquired will prove incorrect, that the acquired businesses may not be integrated successfully and that international acquisitions may strain our management resources. Future acquisitions and any necessary related financings also may involve significant transaction-related expenses. If we are unable to complete attractive acquisitions or integrate acquired businesses, the growth and profitability of our business would be adversely impacted.

25



European expansion may divert our resources from other aspects of our business, cause us to incur additional debt and require us to comply with different regulations. Failure to manage these economic and regulatory risks may adversely affect our growth in Europe and lead to increased costs.

        Expansion into the European market may require us to make substantial investments, which would divert resources from other aspects of our business. We may also be required to raise additional debt or equity capital to fund our expansion in Europe. In addition, we may incur difficulties in staffing and managing our European operations, and face fluctuations in currency exchange rates, exposure to additional regulatory requirements, including certain trade barriers, changes in political and economic conditions, and exposure to additional and potentially adverse tax regimes. Our success in Europe will depend, in part, on our ability to anticipate and effectively manage these and other risks. Our failure to manage these risks may adversely affect our growth in Europe and lead to increased administrative costs.

Failure to retain key personnel could impede our ability to execute our business plan and growth strategy and lead to a loss of customers.

        Our continued success will depend largely on the efforts and abilities of our executive officers and certain other key employees. Many of our key executives, including our President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Gerard Holthaus, and the executive vice president and eight vice presidents who lead our branch operations, have over 10 years of experience with our company. These officers have knowledge and an understanding of our company and industry that cannot be readily duplicated. There are employment agreements with Gerard Holthaus, Robert Singer, Joseph Donegan, William LeBuhn and John Ross. The loss of any member of our senior management team could impair our ability to execute our business plan and growth strategy, cause us to lose customers and reduce our revenues, or lead to employee morale problems.

We may be unable to realize the benefits of our net operating loss carryforwards and, as a result, lose our future tax savings, which could have a negative impact on our liquidity.

        Net operating losses ("NOL's") may be carried forward to offset federal and state taxable income in future years and eliminate income taxes otherwise payable on such taxable income, subject to certain adjustments. As of December 31, 2005, we had NOL's of approximately $265 million. Based on current federal corporate income tax rates, our NOL's could provide a benefit to us, if fully utilized, of significant future tax savings. However, if we do not have sufficient taxable income in future years to use the tax benefits before they expire, we will lose the benefit of these NOL carryforwards permanently. In addition, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service could challenge our calculation of the amount of our NOL's or any deductions or losses included in such calculation, which could reduce our tax benefit. Provisions of the Internal Revenue Code may also limit our ability to carry forward our NOL's to offset taxable income in future years.

A write-off of all or a part of our goodwill would hurt our operating results and reduce our net worth.

        We have significant intangible assets related to goodwill, which represents the excess of the total purchase price of our acquisitions over the fair value of the net assets acquired. As of March 31, 2006, we had $172.0 million of unamortized goodwill on our balance sheet, which represented 12.3% of our total assets. We are not permitted to amortize goodwill under the U.S. accounting standards and instead are required to review goodwill at least annually for impairment. In the event impairment is identified, a charge to earnings would be recorded.

26



We determined that goodwill was not impaired for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005. Although it does not affect our cash flow, a write-off in future periods of all or a part of our goodwill would hurt our operating results and net worth. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates—Goodwill Impairment."

We will incur increased costs as a result of recent regulatory initiatives, which may adversely affect our profitability and liquidity.

        As a result of recent regulatory initiatives, we will incur significant additional legal, accounting and other expenses. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as new rules subsequently implemented by the Commission and the Nasdaq National Market, have imposed additional reporting and corporate governance practices on public companies. We expect that our legal and financial compliance costs will increase and that a significant portion of management's time will be diverted to comply with these rules. For example, we are evaluating our internal controls systems in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. If we do not adequately comply with or implement the requirements of Section 404 in a timely manner, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud and might be subject to sanctions or investigation by regulatory authorities, such as the Commission. Any such action could harm our business or investors' confidence in our company, and could cause our stock prices to fall. These new rules and regulations make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified candidates to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers.

Significant increases in raw material costs could increase our operating costs significantly and harm our profitability.

        We purchase raw materials, including lumber, siding and roofing and other products to perform periodic refurbishments to maintain physical conditions of our units. We also maintain a truck fleet to deliver units to and return units from our customers. During periods of rising prices for raw materials or oil, and in particular, when the prices increase rapidly or to levels significantly higher than normal, we may incur significant increases in our operating costs and may not be able to pass price increases through to our customers in a timely manner, which could reduce our profitability.

Failure by third parties to manufacture our products timely or properly may harm our reputation and financial condition.

        We are dependent on third parties to manufacture our products even though we are able to purchase products from a variety of third-party suppliers. Generally, we do not have any long term purchase contracts with any third-party supplier. If these third parties do not timely complete our orders, or do not properly manufacture our products, our reputation and financial condition could be harmed. In addition, we may not be able to negotiate arrangements with these third parties on acceptable terms, if at all.

2005 REFINANCING TRANSACTIONS

        Williams Scotsman consummated its offering of the original notes on September 29, 2005. In connection with the offering of the original notes:

    Williams Scotsman International concluded an initial public offering of shares of its common stock. The aggregate gross proceeds to the company for offering 15,105,882 shares of its common stock was approximately $242 million, including approximately $6 million received in connection with the exercise of the over-allotment option by the underwriters to purchase 400,000 shares. The net proceeds of $223 million were contributed to Williams Scotsman.

    Williams Scotsman conducted a tender offer and consent solicitation, whereby it offered to purchase all outstanding 9.875% Notes at a cash purchase price of 100.5% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, and the holders of the 9.875% Notes were asked to consent to a supplemental indenture that removed substantially all restrictive covenants relating to the 9.875% Notes. Williams Scotsman executed and delivered the supplemental indenture setting forth the amendments to the indenture governing the 9.875% Notes, which eliminated substantially all of the restrictive covenants of such indenture. On September 29, 2005, in connection with the tender offer for the 9.875% Notes, Williams Scotsman accepted for payment and purchased $521.0 million principal amount of the 9.875% Notes. On October 31, 2005, Williams Scotsman redeemed the remaining outstanding 9.875% Notes in the principal amount of approximately $29.0 million at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to October 31, 2005, the redemption date.

    Williams Scotsman conducted a tender offer and consent solicitation, whereby it offered to purchase all outstanding 10.0% Notes at a cash purchase price of 109.522% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest and the holders of the 10.0% Notes were asked to consent to a supplemental indenture that removed substantially all restrictive covenants relating to the 10.0% Notes. Williams Scotsman executed and delivered a supplemental indenture setting forth the amendments to the indenture governing the 10.0% Notes. On September 29, 2005, in connection with the tender offer for the 10.0% Notes, Williams Scotsman accepted for payment and purchased $148.2 million principal amount of the 10.0% Notes (representing approximately 98.80% of the $150.0 million of aggregate principal amount of 10% Notes originally issued).

        In addition, on June 28, 2005, Williams Scotsman entered into the Amended and Restated Credit Facility that refinanced or extended the maturity of the indebtedness under the Prior Credit Facility, lowered our interest costs and amended the restrictive covenants to provide us greater financial and operating flexibility. The Amended and Restated Credit Facility consists of a revolving credit facility of $500 million and a term loan of $150 million. See "Description of Other Indebtedness—Amended and Restated Credit Facility" for a description of the terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Facility.

        We used the proceeds from the offering of the original notes, together with the proceeds to us from the initial public offering and the borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility to repurchase or redeem the 9.875% Notes, repurchase the 10.0% Notes and pay premium costs, accrued interest and transaction fees and expenses.

29



USE OF PROCEEDS

        We will not receive any cash proceeds from the issuance of the exchange notes in exchange for the outstanding initial notes. We are making this exchange to satisfy our obligations under the registration rights agreement entered into in connection with the offering of the new notes. In consideration for issuing the exchange notes, we will receive initial notes in like aggregate principal amount.

        We used the net proceeds from the offering of the new notes and the equity offering to repay a portion of our outstanding indebtedness under the revolving credit facility of the Amended and Restated Credit Facility and to pay transaction fees and expenses.

SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

        The following table sets forth selected consolidated historical financial and other data for Williams Scotsman International for each of the periods indicated. The selected consolidated historical financial and other data for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2005 and as of the end of each such year have been derived from our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. The selected consolidated historical financial and other data for the year ended December 31, 2001 and 2002 and as of the end of each such year have been derived from our audited consolidated financial statements not included elsewhere in this prospectus.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

        The following tables present the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information of Williams Scotsman International as of March 31, 2006 and for the three months then ended and for the year ended December 31, 2005.

        The unaudited pro forma financial information gives effect to the following transactions, as applicable:

    the offering of the original notes;

    entering into the Amended and Restated Credit Facility;

    the initial public offering;

    the application of the net proceeds from the offering of the original notes, the net proceeds from the initial public offering and the borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility to refinance a portion of the indebtedness under the Prior Credit Facility, repurchase or redeem all of the 9.875% Notes, repurchase the 10.0% Notes that were tendered in the tender offer therefor, pay redemption or premium costs and payment of interest and transaction fees and expenses;

    the amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Facility;

    the offering of the new notes and the equity offering;

    the application of the net proceeds from the offering of the new notes to repay a portion of the outstanding indebtedness under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility and pay transaction fees and expenses; and

    the application of the net proceeds from the equity offering to repay a portion of the outstanding indebtedness under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility and pay transaction fees and expenses.

        The unaudited pro forma balance sheet as of March 31, 2006 gives effect to the 2006 Financing Transactions as if they had occurred on March 31, 2006. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for year ended December 31, 2005 and three months ended March 31, 2006 give effect to the 2005 Refinancing Transactions and the 2006 Financing Transactions as if they had occurred as of January 1, 2005. On June 28, 2005, we entered into our Amended and Restated Credit Facility. As a result of this transaction, we recorded deferred financing costs of approximately $9.9 million that has been paid as of December 31, 2005. Also, as a result of this transaction, we recorded a charge of $3.2 million net of taxes of $2.0 million related to the write-off of deferred debt financing costs for the year ended December 31, 2005. In addition, on September 29, 2005, we recorded an additional charge of $15.5 million, net of income taxes of $10.0 million, related to the write-off of deferred debt financing costs, prepayment costs, premiums, and unamortized discounts associated with the remaining debt to be extinguished in the 2005 Refinancing Transactions. Because these charges are directly related to the 2005 Refinancing Transactions rather than our continuing operations, we have not given effect to them in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations.

        Preparation of the pro forma financial information was based on assumptions deemed appropriate by our management. The pro forma information is unaudited and is not necessarily indicative of the results which actually would have occurred if the above transactions had been consummated as described above, nor does it purport to represent the future financial position and results of operations for future periods. The unaudited pro forma financial information should be read in conjunction with "Capitalization," "Selected Financial Data," "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and our historical consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

        The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto and other financial information included in this prospectus. Certain statements in this "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" are forward-looking statements. See "Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements."

Business Overview

        We derive our revenues and earnings from the leasing and sale of modular space and storage units, delivery and installation of those units and the provision of other ancillary products and services. Leasing operations, which primarily comprise the leasing of modular space units and the sale of used units from our lease fleet, account for a majority of our revenues and gross profits. To maintain the value of our units, we perform periodic refurbishments to our fleet. Additionally, used modular space units are sold from our lease fleet in the ordinary course of business at either fair market value or, to a lesser extent, pursuant to pre-established lease purchase options. The sale of rental units results in the availability of the total cash proceeds received and is reported as a cash flow from investing activities and generally results in the reporting of gross profit on such sales. New unit sales revenues are derived from the sale of new modular space and portable storage units, similar to those units leased by us. Revenues from delivery and installation result from activities related to the transportation and installation of and site preparation for both leased and sold products. Other revenues are derived from other products and services including: rental of steps, furniture, ramps and security systems, sales of parts and supplies, and charges for granting insurance waivers.

        Beginning in the second half of 2004, we have seen improvements in our market place. Prior to the second half of 2004, our business was adversely impacted by overall soft economic conditions over the past several years, which affected our construction customers primarily, and state budget issues in certain parts of the country that have affected our education customers. Although a portion of our business is with customers in industries that are cyclical in nature and/or subject to changes in general economic conditions, we believe that certain characteristics of the modular space and portable storage industries and our operating strategies helped us to limit our exposure to the recent economic downturn. These characteristics include our typical lease terms, which include contractual provisions requiring customers to retain units on lease for, on average, 15 months, and the fact that units on rent have an average lease duration of 27 months; the flexibility and low cost offered to our customers by leasing which may be an attractive alternative to capital purchases; our ability to redeploy units during regional recessions; the diversity of our industry exposure; and the geographic balance of our operations.

        In the ordinary course of business, we acquire leasing and related businesses. On February 17, 2006, we acquired American Homes Internacional, S.A. de C.V., a Monterrey, Mexico-based company that leased and sold mobile office units, for a purchase price of $5.2 million. This purchase resulted in the acquisition of approximately 300 units and the related customer base. On February 24, 2005, we acquired Mobile Space, Inc., a Chicago-based company that leased and sold modular space units for a purchase price of $4.8 million. This purchase resulted in the acquisition of approximately 640 units and the related customer base. On November 17, 2004, we purchased the modular space leasing business of J. Leo Chartrand Inc., a Montreal-based Canadian company. The purchase price was approximately

38



$1.9 million and the transaction added approximately 160 units. On July 28, 2004, we, through Williams Scotsman's 100% owned subsidiary, Williams Scotsman Europe, S.L., acquired an 8.5% minority interest in Wiron Construcciones Modulares, S.A., headquartered in Parla, Spain, for approximately $4.7 million, which includes acquisition-related costs. Wiron Construcciones Modulares, S.A. is one of the largest modular space providers in Spain with branches located in all major cities throughout the country.

        On March 26, 2004, we acquired nearly 3,800 modular Division of State Architect ("DSA") classroom units located in the State of California from Transport International Pool, Inc. (d/b/a GE Modular Space) for approximately $43.5 million. The assets were acquired using available funds under our revolving credit facility. The acquisition included the purchase of units, equipment associated with these classroom units as well as rights under all outstanding leases related to these classroom units and certain other assets. We did not acquire employees, physical facilities, sales force, or other business related items. In addition, the customer base, which is primarily public and private educational institutions in the State of California, is similar to, and in many cases duplicative of, our existing customer base. As a result, we consider the purchase of these assets an asset purchase rather than an acquisition of a business. The average age of the units when acquired was approximately 6 years while the remaining depreciable lives ranged from 2 to 19 years with an average remaining life of approximately 14 years.

        In the fourth quarter of 2003, we implemented a strategic initiative to dispose of selected rental units in our lease fleet which we determined no longer merited further investment. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets, we planned to sell to one or more buyers approximately 2,900 units. As of December 31, 2005, we have sold 97% of the selected rental units and the remaining net book value of such units amounts to less than $0.1 million. See Note 11 of the Notes to Audited Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

        During 2005, we completed an initial public offering of shares of our common stock. Net proceeds of the initial public offering to us were approximately $223.1 million. In connection with the initial public offering, Williams Scotsman, entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Facility in June 2005, which was amended on April 12, 2006. The Amended and Restated Credit Facility consists of a revolving credit facility of $500 million and a term loan of $150 million, each of which matures in 2011. Williams Scotsman also issued $350 million aggregate principal amount of original notes maturing in 2015. We used the net proceeds received from the initial public offering, together with the proceeds from the offering of the original notes and the borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility to repurchase or redeem the 9.875% Notes, repurchase the 10.0% Notes, pay premium costs, accrued interest and transaction fees and expenses. On April 18, 2006, Williams Scotsman also issued $100 million aggregate principal amount of the new notes. After the offering of the new notes, we had $450 million aggregate principal amount of the notes outstanding. On May 16, 2006, we completed an equity offering with estimated proceeds to us of approximately $52.9 million. The selling stockholders participating in the equity offering received net proceeds of approximately $163.8 million. We used the proceeds of the equity offering and the offering of the new notes to repay a portion of the outstanding debt under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility and pay transaction fees and expenses.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended March 31, 2006 Compared with Three Months Ended March 31, 2005

        Revenues in the quarter ended March 31, 2006 were $165.0 million; a $38.9 million or 30.8% increase from revenues of $126.1 million in the comparable period of 2005. The increase resulted from a $17.5 million or 77.6% increase in sales of new units from the same period in 2005, a $10.1 million or 17.2% increase in leasing revenue, a $3.5 million or 49.5% increase in sales of rental equipment, a $6.2 million or 22.2% increase in delivery and installation revenues, and a $1.6 million or 16.5% increase in other revenue. The 77.6% increase in sales of new units is primarily attributable to military projects in the first quarter of 2006. The 17.2% increase in leasing revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, as compared to the same period of 2005, resulted from an average increase of approximately 4,100 units on rent and an increase in the average rental rate for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 from $258 to $282. The increase in units on rent is attributable to overall business

40



improvement, continued strength in the Florida classroom and Canadian oil and gas sectors, the contribution from fleet acquisitions since last year, increased demand for our portable storage product, and hurricane related activity. The increase in the average rental rate was primarily a result of rental rate increases implemented during 2005 and 2006 as well as positive changes in the mix of units on rent for the comparable periods. Average fleet utilization of approximately 82% for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 was up approximately 1.6 percentage points from the same period of the prior year. The increase in sales of rental units of 22.2% was primarily due to sales of rental units in the Central Southwest area of the country primarily as a result of activities related to the hurricanes occurring in the third quarter of 2005. The increase in delivery and installation revenue is largely due to increased units on rent for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 as compared to the same period of 2005 as well as the increase in sales of new and rental units discussed above. The increase in other revenue of 16.5% was primarily due to increased revenue from steps, ramps and other ancillary products related to the increased sales and leasing of units.

        Gross profit for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 was $65.4 million; a $15.6 million or 31.3% increase from the first quarter of 2005. New unit sales gross margin increased $4.1 million or 113.8% primarily due to the increases in sales described above. Gross profit margin percentage related to new unit sales increased 3.2% primarily due to higher margins related to modular building activities as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2005. Delivery and installation gross margin increased $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 while the gross profit margin percentage increased 5.5% primarily related to increases in new sales and leasing revenue described above. While leasing gross profit margin increased $5.9 million or 17.4% from the same period in 2005, leasing gross profit margin percentage increased only 0.2% from the prior year period as a result of the increase in leasing revenues as discussed above, offset by a 20.6% increase in direct leasing costs related to refurbishment and maintenance costs incurred to put units on rent. Gross profit margin from sales of rental units increased $1.5 million or 109.5% and gross profit margin percentage from sales of rental units increased by 7.7% primarily as a result of the increased revenues discussed above and the change in mix of rental units sold as compared to the same period of 2005. Gross profit margin from other revenues increased $1.6 million and gross profit margin percentage from other revenues increased 2.6% from the prior period as a result of the increased revenues discussed above from the rental and sales of steps, ramps and other ancillary products.

        Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 increased by approximately $3.7 million or 16.1% to $26.7 million from $23.0 million in the same period of 2005. This increase is primarily associated with increased employee, facility and marketing related costs to support growth of our revenues.

        Interest expense decreased by 27.7% to $17.5 million in the first quarter of 2006 from $24.2 million in the same period in 2005. This decrease is primarily a result of our average total debt decreasing $146.0 million or 14.3% while our effective interest rate on our total debt decreased approximately 114 basis points over the same period of 2005 as a result of the refinancing transactions that occurred in 2005.

        For the quarters ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, income tax expense (benefit) was $6.5 million and ($0.5) million respectively. Our effective tax rate for the quarters ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 was approximately 38.5% and 38.1% respectively.

2005 Compared With 2004

        Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2005 were $592.5 million; a $94.5 million or 19.0% increase from revenues of $497.9 million in the same period of 2004. The increase resulted from a $24.8 million or 11.1% increase in leasing revenue, $41.9 million or 48.5% increase in sales of new units, a $19.6 million or 16.9% increase in delivery and installation revenue, and an $8.2 million or 27.8% increase in sales of rental equipment, from the same period in 2004. The 11.1% increase in leasing revenue for the year ended December 31, 2005, as compared to the same period of 2004, resulted from an average increase of approximately 4,100 units on rent and a $13 increase in the average monthly rental rate for the year ended December 31, 2005 from $250 to $263. The increase in units on rent is attributable to overall business improvement, continued strength in the southeast region of the United States and our Canadian business, increased demand for our portable storage product, and the contribution from fleet acquisitions since last year. The $13 increase in the average monthly rental rate was primarily a result of rental rate increases during 2004 and 2005, positive changes in the mix of units on rent for the comparable periods and continued price improvement in the Canadian region. Average fleet utilization of approximately 81% for the year ended December 31, 2005 was up approximately 1.4 percentage points from the same period of the prior year. The 48.5% increase in sales of new units is primarily attributable to an increase of sales, in particular, in the western and southern regions of the country primarily related to sales of classroom units as well as sales under U.S. military contracts and hurricane recovery related sales. The increase in delivery and installation revenue of 16.9% is largely due to increased units on rent for the year ended December 31, 2005 as compared to the same period of 2004 as well as an increase in sales activity discussed previously. The increase in sales of rental units of 27.8% was primarily due to the sale of rental units in the Central Southwest regions of the country as a result of hurricane recovery activity experienced during the second half of 2005 as well as sales of units in the western regions of the country.

        Overall gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2005 was $218.6 million; a $27.8 million or 14.6% increase from the year ended December 31, 2004. Total gross margin percentage for the year ended December 31, 2005 was 36.9% as compared to 38.4% for the same period of 2004. In addition to factors described below, the decrease in overall gross margin percentage was impacted by a heavier mix of lower margin sales revenue. Leasing gross profit margin increased $13.0 million from the same period in 2004 while leasing gross profit margin percentage decreased by approximately 0.3%. The decrease in gross profit margin percentage was a result of a 15.8% increase in direct leasing costs for fleet refurbishment and maintenance related to increased utilization and an increase in depreciation expense from fleet growth. Gross profit margin and gross profit margin percentage related to new unit sales increased $9.4 million and 2.2%, respectively, primarily due to higher margins on sales in Canada and sales of certain modular building projects during the year ended December 31, 2005 as compared to the same period in the prior year. Delivery and installation gross margin increased $4.9 million for year ended December 31, 2005 primarily as a result of increased delivery and installation revenue discussed above. Delivery and installation gross profit margin percentage increased approximately 1.8% which is primarily attributable to the increased margins on related sales of new and rental units during the year ended December 31, 2005 as well as higher margins on certain modular building projects in 2005 as compared to 2004. Gross profit margin and gross profit margin percentage from sales of rental units increased by $2.2 million and 1.0%, respectively. Gross profit margin increased primarily as a result of the increased revenues discussed above, while the increase in gross profit margin percentage was primarily the result of the change in mix of rental units sold as compared to the same period of 2004. Gross profit margin from other revenues decreased

42



$1.7 million while gross profit margin percentage from other revenues decreased 3.9% from the same period in 2004, primarily as a result of $3.3 million of revenue in 2004 representing the realized gain from the involuntary conversion of assets impacted by hurricanes in the southeast region of the country as well as a $1.7 million charge in 2005 related to our estimate of losses related to the impact of recent hurricanes, partially offset by final settlement of 2004 hurricane insurance proceeds of approximately $0.7 million.

        Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2005 increased by approximately $13.6 million or 16.3% to $97.0 million from $83.4 million in the same period of 2004. During September 2005, we recorded approximately $2.4 million of additional stock compensation expense related to the acceleration of options vesting as a result of our initial public offering. Excluding stock compensation expense, selling, general and administrative expenses increased $9.8 million or 11.8%. This increase is primarily associated with increased employee, facility, and marketing related costs, as well as increases in the allowance for uncollectible accounts primarily to support or related to the growth of our revenues discussed above. These increases were partially offset by favorable insurance experience for the period and the recording of a charge of approximately $0.9 million in 2004 resulting from the write-off of deferred costs in connection with the suspension of negotiations related to a European acquisition target.

        Interest expense decreased by 1.3% to $91.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 from $92.4 million in the same period in 2004. This decrease is primarily related to the amortization of our deferred financing costs decreasing $1.5 million and our total average debt decreasing $8.4 million. These decreases are partially offset by an increase in our effective interest rate of approximately 10 basis points over the same period of 2004. The decrease in the average debt balance is primarily the result of our initial public offering during the third quarter of 2005 as well as the refinancing of our debt which included entering into the Amended and Restated Credit Facility in June of 2005 and the repurchase or redemption of the 9.875% and 10% Notes during September 2005 and the issuance of the original notes. As a result of these refinancing transactions, we recorded a loss on the early extinguishment of debt of $30.7 million resulting in the write-off of deferred financing costs of $12.5 million and prepayment costs, premiums and unamortized discounts of $18.2 million associated with the redemption of the 9.875% and 10% Notes.

        For the year ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, we recorded an income tax benefit of $6.5 million and income tax expense of $3.6 million, respectively. Our effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2005 was 38.8%. Our effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2004 was impacted by a $2.5 million charge related to a change in the estimate of the future effects of state income taxes on deferred income tax balances resulting from a change in the estimated income apportionment among states in which we do business. In addition, the effective income tax rate differs from the U.S. Federal statutory income tax rate principally because we have not recognized a benefit for NOL carryforwards generated from our operations in Mexico and Europe due to uncertainties surrounding their ultimate realization.

2004 Compared With 2003

        Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2004 were $497.9 million, a $62.3 million or 14.3% increase from revenues of $435.6 million in the same period of 2003. The increase resulted from a $24.8 million or 27.1% increase in delivery and installation revenues, a $14.7 million or 20.5% increase in sales of new units, an $8.9 million or 4.2% increase in leasing revenue, an $8.6 million or 41.6% increase in sales of rental equipment and a $5.3 million or 13.9% increase in other revenue from the same period of 2003. The increases

43



in sales of new units and corresponding increase in delivery and installation revenues are largely due to continued growth in the education industry we serve, particularly in the southeast and west regions of the country. In addition, as a percentage of total revenue, delivery and installation revenues increased 2.3% from 2003. This is primarily attributable to increased modular construction site work activities, which are more time and labor intensive, in the northeast and south central regions of the country. The 4.2% increase in leasing revenue for the year ended December 31, 2004 resulted from an increase of approximately 3,000 units on rent, which includes our purchase of California classroom units in the first quarter 2004. Average fleet utilization of approximately 80% for the year ended December 31, 2004 was up approximately 3 percentage points from the same period of the prior year. Of this increase, 2.5% is attributed to the strategic initiative to dispose of selected rental units previously discussed. The average monthly rental rate for the year ended December 31, 2004 remained flat at $250 in comparison with the prior year. The average monthly rate for the fourth quarter of 2004 was $253 as compared to $247 in the fourth quarter of 2003. Increased used sales activity, particularly in the west and southeast regions of the country, resulted in increased sales of rental equipment for the year ended December 31, 2004 as compared to the same period of 2003. Other revenue, which includes income from various ancillary items, including steps, furniture, insurance waivers, ramps and other miscellaneous items, increased 13.9% in 2004 due primarily to the $3.3 million, net of damages relating to settlement of insurance claims, resulting from a series of hurricanes in the southeast region of the United States occurring during the third quarter of 2004 (see discussion below) and an increase in steps and ramp revenues. During the year ended December 31, 2003, other revenue included $1.0 million of profit related to the sale of a branch facility.

        Overall gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2004 was $190.8 million, a $12.9 million or 7.3% increase from the same period of 2003. Total gross margin percentage for the year ended December 31, 2004 was 38.4% as compared to 40.8% for the same period of 2003. In addition to the factors discussed below, the decrease in overall gross margin percentage was impacted by a heavier mix of lower margin sales revenue. Gross profit margin percentage from the sales of new units, and delivery and installation decreased by 1.5% and 0.6%, respectively, due primarily to overall competitive pricing pressures and lower margins on certain modular construction projects in the northeast region of the country. Gross profit margin from the sales of rental equipment increased by $2.1 million, primarily due to an increase in sales of rental equipment described above. Gross profit margin from other revenues increased by $3.9 million from 2003. Gross profit margin percentage related to other revenues decreased by 0.4%, primarily as a result of competitive pricing pressures related to the sale and leasing of ancillary products and offset by the insurance settlement discussed above. Leasing gross profit for the year increased by $3.1 million while leasing gross profit margin percentage was relatively flat as compared to the same period of 2003, primarily due to leasing revenue improvements described above, partially offset by increased maintenance and refurbishment costs.

        SG&A for the year ended December 31, 2004 increased approximately $7.1 million or 9.3% to $83.4 million from $76.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. This increase is primarily associated with increased employee-related costs, business insurance, marketing related and professional fees. Also, during the fourth quarter, we recorded a charge of approximately $0.9 million resulting from the write-off of deferred costs in connection with the suspension of negotiations related to a European acquisition target.

        During 2003, we implemented a strategic initiative to dispose of selected rental units in our lease fleet which were determined to no longer merit further investment. A $19.4 million impairment charge was recorded in 2003 to reflect the write-down of these assets to their

44



estimated fair value (less costs to sell). As of December 31, 2004, we have disposed of substantially all of these units. The effects on the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004 of disposing of these units was not material.

        During the third quarter of 2004, approximately 500 modular space and portable storage units, with a book value of approximately $3.4 million, were destroyed as a result of several hurricanes experienced in the southeast region of the United States. The majority of these units were not on rent. In addition, approximately 200 units as well as certain other company assets were damaged during the storms. The total costs related to these storms approximate $4.6 million. As of December 31, 2004, we have agreed to a preliminary settlement with our insurance companies of approximately $7.9 million to cover losses from these storms, of which, $5.0 million was received as of December 31, 2004. During the fourth quarter, we recorded in other revenue approximately $3.3 million representing the realized gain from the involuntary conversion of these assets.

        Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2004 increased by $5.3 million or 6.0% to $92.4 million from $87.2 million in the same period of 2003 due primarily to the incremental interest expense incurred on the $150.0 million 10.0% Notes. The net proceeds of the 10.0% Notes were used to repay portions of the term loan and revolving credit facility debt under the Prior Credit Facility in August 2003. This incremental interest expense was partially offset by a $61.6 million or 17.2% decrease in the average credit facility debt over the same period of 2003. Also included in the 2003 interest expense was a write-off of deferred financing costs in the amount of $2.5 million.

        For the year ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, income tax expense (benefit) was $3.6 million and $(7.1) million, respectively. The increase in our effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2004 was impacted primarily by a change in the estimate of the future effects of state income taxes on deferred income tax balances resulting from a change in the estimated income apportionment among states in which we do business. The effective income tax rate also differs from the U.S. Federal statutory income tax rate because we have not recognized a benefit for NOL carryforwards generated from our operations in Mexico and Europe due to uncertainties surrounding their ultimate realization.

Seasonality

        Although demand from certain of our customers is somewhat seasonal, our operations as a whole are not seasonal to any significant extent.

Selected Quarterly Financial Data

        The selected quarterly financial data for the period ended on December 31, 2005 and 2004 and as of the end of each such period have been derived from the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Williams Scotsman International and include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Historical

        We conduct virtually all of our business operations through Williams Scotsman. Accordingly, our only material sources of cash are dividends that are derived from earnings and cash flow generated by Williams Scotsman. Indebtedness of Williams Scotsman may limit or prohibit the payment of dividends to us. In particular, the Amended and Restated Credit Facility and the indenture for the notes contain restrictions on the amount of dividends that Williams Scotsman can pay us. To maintain the value of our lease fleet, which generates significant rental value, we perform periodic refurbishments to our fleet. The capital expenditures for such refurbishments are reflected in cash flow used in the investing activities but not in cash flow from operations. As a result, cash flow from operating activities should not be evaluated without also considering cash flow used in the investing activities, together with cash flow from financing activities and net loss.

Cash Flow for Three Months ended March 31, 2006 and March 31, 2005

        During the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, cash flow from operating activities was $28.6 million and $14.8 million respectively. The $13.8 million increase in operating cash flows from the prior year is primarily the result of increased profits from the sales of new and rental equipment units, increases in units on rent as well as related delivery and installation revenue. See "Results of Operations" above for further discussion of sales and leasing gross profit.

        Cash used in investing activities was $33.9 million and $21.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Our primary capital expenditures are for the discretionary purchase of new units for our lease fleet and betterments to the fleet. Capital expenditures related to our lease fleet increased $16.5 million from the prior period. We seek to maintain our lease fleet in good condition at all times and generally increase the size of our lease fleet only in those local or regional markets experiencing economic growth and established unit demand. In February 2006, we acquired American Homes Internacional, S.A. de C.V., a Monterrey, Mexico-based company, for $5.1 million while in February 2005, we acquired Mobile Space, Inc., a Chicago-based company, for $4.8 million.

        Net cash provided by financing activities of $6.7 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2006 consisted primarily of $4.2 million of excess tax benefits from stock-based payment arrangements and $2.2 million in proceeds from exercises of stock options. Net cash provided by financing activities of $7.9 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2005 consisted primarily of net debt borrowings.

        At March 31, 2006, we had outstanding $350 million of the original notes. In addition, we had $150.0 million in term loans and $364.0 million in revolving credit facility debt under our Amended and Restated Credit Facility. Our total Amended and Restated Credit Facility (including the term loan and revolver commitment) was $650 million at March 31, 2006. Excess availability calculated in accordance with this facility was $115.5 million at March 31, 2006. Borrowings under this facility, which are based upon a borrowing base calculation, are secured by a first priority lien on and security interest in our rental equipment, accounts receivable, property and equipment and other assets. Our credit facility contains affirmative and negative covenants customary for such financings including restrictions on the amount of dividends that Williams Scotsman and its subsidiaries can pay to Williams Scotsman International. In addition, if Williams Scotsman does not meet certain excess availability requirements, we will be required to comply with a senior secured leverage ratio, a consolidated interest coverage ratio and a minimum utilization test. During the quarter ended March 31, 2006, Williams Scotsman met the excess availability requirements and did not have to comply with the financial covenants. See Note 6 of the Notes to Audited Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of the notes and the Amended and Restated Credit Facility.

Cash Flow for Fiscal 2005, 2004 and 2003

        During 2003, 2004 and 2005, our principal sources of funds, other than our refinancing activities discussed below, consisted of cash flow from operating sources. Cash flow from operating activities of $74.2 million in 2003, $56.9 million in 2004 and $67.5 million in 2005 were largely generated by the rental of units from our lease fleet, the associated delivery and installation services from rental and sales activities and other products. The $10.6 million increase in cash flow from operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2005 from 2004 was primarily the result of increased earnings discussed above offset by increased expenditures for ancillary product inventories such as steps and ramps to support the growth in units on rent. In addition, cash flow from operating activities were impacted by an increase in accounts receivable activity, primarily as it relates to education customers, offset by increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses due to timing of payment.

        The $17.4 million decrease in cash flow from operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2004 from 2003 was substantially the result of increased receivables related to increased classroom related revenue, particularly in the west and southeast regions of the country, partially offset by an increase in payables and other accrued expenses. Revenues from education customers increased from 23% of total revenue in 2003 to 28% of total

47



revenue in 2004. These customers are typically slower paying, resulting in the increased receivables. The increase in accounts payable and other accrued expenses resulted primarily from the timing of related payments. Other factors that contributed to the decrease in net cash provided by operating activities from 2003 to 2004 included increases in SG&A, and an increase in paid interest resulting from the incremental interest expense discussed above.

        Cash flow used in investing activities was $43.6 million in 2003, $102.9 million in 2004 and $115.3 million in 2005. Our primary capital expenditures are for the discretionary purchase of new units for the lease fleet and units purchased through acquisitions. In February 2005, we acquired Mobile Space Inc., a Chicago-based company that leased and sold modular space units. This purchase resulted in the acquisition of approximately 640 units with a purchase price approximating $4.8 million. In August 2004, we made an investment in a modular space company, headquartered in Spain, for approximately $4.7 million. In May 2003, we acquired for $3.2 million a Canadian company while in March 2004, we acquired nearly 3,800 modular classrooms located in the state of California for approximately $43.5 million. See Note 3 of the Notes to Audited Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of these acquisitions.

We believe we can manage the capital requirements of our lease fleet, and thus our cash flow, through the careful monitoring of our lease fleet additions.

        Our maintenance and refurbishment program is designed to maintain the value of lease fleet units and realize rental rates and operating cash flows from older units comparable to those from newer units. The sale of rental equipment helps preserve the overall quality of our lease fleet and enhances cash flow. Generally, costs of improvements and betterments aggregating less than $1,000 per unit are expensed as incurred. Expenditures that significantly extend the economic useful life of a unit or that materially alter a unit's configuration are capitalized. Consistent with the increase in our fleet utilization discussed earlier, capitalized betterments for the year ended December 31, 2005 increased $19.4 million from the same period of 2004.

        Other capital expenditures of $7.6 million, $8.1 million and $12.0 million in 2003, 2004 and 2005, respectively, consist of items not directly related to the lease fleet, such as branch buildings, land, equipment, leasehold improvements and management information systems.

        Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities was $(30.6) million in 2003, $46.2 million in 2004, and $47.4 million in 2005. Net cash used in financing activities for 2003

48



consisted largely of net repayments of our revolving credit facility debt and term loan under our then existing credit facility. Net cash provided by financing activities for 2004 consisted of additional net borrowings under our then existing revolving credit facility, which were used to supplement cash flow from operating activities in the funding of capital expenditures, as well as the $43.5 million California fleet purchase as described above. Net cash provided by financing activities for 2005 was primarily related to the results of our refinancing transactions and proceeds from our initial public offering discussed below.

        On September 23, 2005, we completed an initial public offering of 14,705,882 shares of common stock for $217.3 million (net of underwriting fees and other offering expenses of approximately $18.6 million). In addition, in connection with the initial public offering, 454,365 stock options were exercised by our management and sold, resulting in additional net proceeds of approximately $0.9 million. In addition, we recorded a tax benefit of $2.3 million related to the exercise of the stock options as additional paid-in capital. Proceeds of the initial public offering were used to reduce debt. Also, on October 18, 2005, we received approximately $6.0 million related to the exercise of over-allotment options by the underwriters to purchase 400,000 shares of our common stock, which was used to pay down borrowings under our Amended and Restated Credit Facility.

        On September 29, 2005, we issued $350.0 million of original notes. We used the net proceeds of $340.9 million received from such offering together with the proceeds from our initial public offering and the borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility to repurchase or redeem the 9.875% Notes and repurchase $148.2 million of the 10.0% Notes. The repurchase or redemption of the 9.875% and 10.0% Notes was conducted through a tender offer and consent solicitation whereby we offered to purchase all outstanding 10.0% Notes at a cash price of 109.522% of the principal amount and all outstanding 9.875% Notes at a cash purchase price of 100.5% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. On September 29, 2005, in connection with the tender offer, we purchased $148.2 million of the 10% Notes and $521.0 million of the 9.875% Notes and legally defeased all remaining outstanding 9.875% Notes. Approximately $25.5 million in deferred financing fees and premium costs related to the tender offer of the extinguished debt was expensed immediately and included in loss on early extinguishment of debt. See "2005 Refinancing Transactions."

        On June 28, 2005, we entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Facility, the net proceeds of which were used to refinance our prior credit agreement. Approximately $5.2 million in deferred financing costs related to the prior credit facility were expensed immediately for the year ended December 31, 2005 and included in loss on early extinguishment of debt. The Amended and Restated Credit Facility was amended on April 12, 2006.

The 2006 Financing Transactions

        On April 12, 2006, Williams Scotsman entered into an amendment to its Amended and Restated Credit Facility. The amendment permits the issuance of the new notes, extends the maturity of the Amended and Restated Credit Facility to April 12, 2011, provides for more favorable borrowing base calculations and revises the restrictive covenants to grant us greater flexibility to incur debt and make acquisitions and revises the change of control provision. In addition, the amendment changes the interest rate on borrowings under the revolver and term loan from a rate of either prime plus 1% or the Eurodollar rate plus 2.5% to either prime plus 0.50% or the Eurodollar rate plus 2.0%. The interest rate in effect as of April 12, 2006 was 6.81%. The interest rate margin is subject to pricing adjustments based on excess availability and a ratio of total funded debt to EBITDA as defined in the amended and restated credit agreement. See "Description of Indebtedness—Amended and Restated Credit Facility." The

49



Amended and Restated Credit Facility provides for a $500.0 million revolving credit facility and a $150.0 million term loan. At March 31, 2006, after giving effect to the 2006 Financing Transactions, we would have had outstanding under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility borrowings of $363.5 million, which would have included $150.0 million in term loans and $213.5 million outstanding under the revolving credit facility at March 31, 2006.

        Borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility, which are based upon a borrowing base calculation, are secured by a first priority lien on and security interest in our rental equipment, accounts receivable, property and equipment and other assets. The Amended and Restated Credit Facility contains affirmative and negative covenants customary for such financings including restrictions that substantially limit the amount of dividends that Williams Scotsman and its subsidiaries can pay to us. In addition, if Williams Scotsman does not meet certain excess availability requirements, we will be required to comply with a senior secured leverage ratio, a consolidated interest coverage ratio and a minimum utilization test. During 2005 Williams Scotsman met the excess availability requirements historically and currently, Williams Scotsman does not have to comply with the financial covenants. Excess availability calculated in accordance with the credit agreement under this facility was $115.5 million at March 31, 2006. After giving effect to the 2006 Financing Transactions, excess availability would have been $266.0 million as of March 31, 2006.

        In addition, on April 18, 2006, Williams Scotsman issued $100 million of the new notes at a cash price of 101.75% of their principal amount. Also, on May 16, 2006, Williams Scotsman International completed the equity offering of 9,990,793 shares of its common stock at $26.25 per share. Of the shares, 2,101,724 shares were offered by Williams Scotsman International and resulted in proceeds to Williams Scotsman International of approximately $50.9 million (net of underwriting fees and other estimated offering expenses of approximately $4.3 million). In addition, 7,889,069 shares were offered by selling stockholders, which include related parties of Cypress and Keystone and certain members of senior management. Including the exercise of the over-allotment shares, approximately 380,000 stock options were exercised and sold by management as a result of the equity offering resulting in additional net proceeds to us of $2.0 million. The underwriters also exercised their option to purchase up to an additional 1,303,147 shares of common stock from the selling stockholders at the public offering price less the underwriting discount. We used the proceeds from the offering of new notes and from the equity offering to repay a portion of our indebtedness under the revolver portion of the Amended and Restated Credit Facility and pay related fees and expenses.

        For the next twelve months, we expect that cash flow from operations, cash on hand and available borrowing capacity under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility will be adequate to finance our business plans, ongoing operations and debt service obligations under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility and the notes. Over the longer term, we believe that cash flow from operations and available borrowing capacity under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility will generally be sufficient to fund our operations and debt service obligations. However, in order to repay the Amended and Restated Credit Facility and the notes at maturity, we will need to either refinance these facilities with indebtedness and/or raise equity capital. Also, in order to complete a major acquisition in North America or expand significantly in Europe, we may need to incur additional indebtedness or issue additional equity capital.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

        We have no material off-balance sheet arrangements.

(1)
As more fully described in Note 6 of the Notes to Audited Consolidated Financial Statements, we had a $150.0 million term loan, $364.1 million borrowed under a revolving credit facility, and $350.0 million and $1.8 million of registered notes and the initial notes and 10.0% Notes, respectively, outstanding as of December 31, 2005.

In accordance with SFAS No. 13, Accounting for Leases, operating lease obligations are not reflected in the balance sheet. See Note 8 of Notes to Audited Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. Amounts included reflect both interest and principal payments.

(4)
Represents open purchase order commitments related to purchases of new rental units.

The amount of standby letters of credit, which expire in 2006 unless renewed, was $20.5 million at March 31, 2006.

Inflation

        We believe that inflation has not had a material effect on our results of operations. However, an inflationary environment could materially increase interest rates on our floating rate debt. The price of rental equipment sold by us and the replacement cost of such units could also increase in such an environment. Our standard lease generally provides for annual rental rate escalation at the inflation rate as determined by the Consumer Price Index after the end of the initial lease term. In addition, we may seek to limit our exposure to interest rate fluctuations by utilizing certain hedging mechanisms, although we are under no obligation to do so.

51



Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

    General

        This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent liabilities. See Note 2 of the Notes to Audited Consolidated Financial Statements for further information. On an on-going basis, we evaluate estimates, including those related to depreciation of rental equipment, allowance for doubtful accounts, contingencies, goodwill impairment, and income taxes. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

    Depreciation of rental equipment

        We depreciate rental equipment over its estimated useful life, after giving effect to an estimated salvage value. The useful life of our rental equipment is determined based on our estimate of the period over which the asset will generate revenue (generally 20 years), and the residual value (typically 50% of original cost) is determined based on our estimate of the expected value we could realize from the asset after this period. The lives and residual values are subject to periodic evaluation and may be affected by, among other factors, changes in building codes, legislation, regulations, local permitting and internal factors which may include, but are not limited to, changes in equipment specifications or maintenance policies. If these estimates change in the future, we may be required to recognize increased or decreased depreciation expense for these assets. For example, a change in our estimated useful life to 15 years from 20 years would decrease net income by approximately $20.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, while a change in the residual value to 40% from 50% would reduce net income by approximately $2.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2005.

52


    Allowance for doubtful accounts

        We are required to estimate the collectibility of our trade receivables. Accordingly, allowances for doubtful accounts are maintained for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. We evaluate a variety of factors in assessing the ultimate realization of these receivables including the current credit-worthiness of customers. The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined based on historical collection results, days sales outstanding trends, and a review of specific past due receivables. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required, resulting in decreased net income.

    Contingencies

        We maintain insurance coverage for our operations and employees with appropriate aggregate, per occurrence and deductible limits as we reasonably determine is necessary or prudent based on current operations and historical experience. The majority of these coverages have large deductible programs which allow for potential improved cash flow benefits based on our loss control efforts. Our current per incident deductibles are $125,000 for employee group health insurance and $500,000 for worker's compensation, auto, and general liability each. We expense the deductible portion of the individual claims. However, we generally do not know the full amount of our exposure to a deductible in connection with any particular claim during the fiscal period in which the claim is incurred and for which we must make an accrual for the deductible expense. We make these accruals based on a combination of the claims review by our staff and our insurance companies, and, periodically, the accrual is reviewed and adjusted based on our loss experience. Our loss experience is based largely on our estimates of known and anticipated claims based on historical claims experience from our operations. These estimates incorporate the information we obtain from insurers and data analysis of trends in our pending and settled claims. A high degree of judgment is required in developing these estimates of amounts to be accrued, as well as in connection with the underlying assumptions. In addition, our assumptions will change as our loss experience is developed. All of these factors have the potential for significantly impacting the amounts we have previously reserved in respect of anticipated deductible expenses, and we may be required in the future to increase or decrease amounts previously accrued. As of March 31, 2006, we had approximately $8.7 million, respectively, of liabilities recorded related to insurance. Amounts accrued have not varied significantly from period to period or from actual experience.

        We are subject to proceedings, lawsuits, and other claims related to environmental, product and other matters, and are required to assess the likelihood of any adverse judgments or outcomes to these matters as well as potential ranges of probable losses. As noted above, we have insurance policies to cover general liability and workers compensation related claims. A determination of the amount of net reserves required, if any, for these contingencies is made after analysis of each individual matter. The required reserves may change in the future due to new developments in each matter or changes in approach such as a change in settlement strategy in dealing with these matters.

    Goodwill Impairment

        At March 31, 2006, we had approximately $172.0 million of goodwill, which principally relates to businesses we acquired prior to 1999. Goodwill is initially measured as the excess of the cost of an acquired business over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. We do not amortize goodwill, but rather review our carrying value for impairment annually on

53


October 1, and whenever an impairment indicator is identified. The goodwill impairment test involves a two-step approach. Under the first step, we determine the fair value of each reporting unit to which goodwill has been assigned. Our geographically-based operating segments are the reporting units for purposes of our impairment test. We compare the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. We estimate the fair value of each reporting unit by utilizing published market EBITDA multiples of similar publicly traded companies as well as our own. If the estimated fair value exceeds the carrying value, no impairment loss is recognized. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value, goodwill is considered potentially impaired and the second step is completed in order to measure the impairment loss. Under the second step, we calculate the implied fair value of goodwill by deducting the fair value of all tangible and intangible net assets, including any unrecognized intangible assets, of the reporting unit from the fair value of the reporting unit as determined in the first step. We then compare the implied fair value of goodwill to the carrying value of goodwill. If the implied fair value of goodwill is less than the carrying value of goodwill, we recognize an impairment loss equal to the difference. We believe that goodwill is not impaired. Future changes in strategy and/or market conditions could significantly impact these judgments and require adjustments to recorded asset balances. Historically, we have acquired businesses without significant identifiable intangible assets, and accordingly, the most significant intangible asset recorded in our business combinations has been goodwill. As of March 31, 2006, the carrying value of our other intangible assets was $3.6 million, or approximately 0.3% of total assets.

    Income Taxes

        We are required to estimate income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. The process involves estimating actual current tax expense along with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for book and tax purposes. These timing differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included in our consolidated balance sheet. We have considered future taxable income and ongoing tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance. As of December 31, 2005, our deferred tax assets were $120.3 million, net of a valuation allowance of $2.3 million, and our deferred tax liabilities were $261.3 million. Our deferred tax assets consist primarily of future tax benefits associated with our NOL carryovers. We have recorded a valuation allowance of $2.3 million based on the pending expiration in 2006 of a portion of our NOL carryovers that we estimate we will not be able to fully use. These NOL carryovers for income tax purposes have been largely created by originating deductible temporary differences in depreciation expense of our lease fleet. We expect that our taxable income in future periods will increase significantly as these differences reverse, allowing us to utilize substantially all of our NOL carryovers. If our operating results were to deteriorate and our future taxable income was insufficient to utilize these NOL carryovers before they expire, we would be required to increase the valuation allowance that we have recorded for our deferred tax assets.

    Share Based Payments and Stock Compensation Expense

        From time to time, we issue options to key employees under stock option plans approved by our board of directors. Since 2003, we have accounted for these option grants using the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. In applying the fair value accounting provisions of SFAS No. 123, we use a generally accepted option valuation model, the Cox Rubenstein binomial valuation model. This model requires specified inputs to determine the fair value of our stock options, including (i) the fair value of our common stock on the grant date, (ii) the expected volatility of our common stock over the expected option life, (iii) the risk-free interest rate, (iv) the expected dividend yield, and (v) the

54


expected option life. As a result of our initial public offering in September 2005, we are utilizing a simplified method for determining the expected term of the option in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107. This simplified method calculates the expected term of the option as the sum of the vesting term and the original contract term of the option divided by two. Prior to our initial public offering, we estimated expected option life using historical data that considered expected changes in our ownership that would accelerate the option vesting. The fair value of our common stock on the grant date is determined by the closing market price quoted on the NASDAQ exchange at the date of grant. Prior to the initial public offering, fair value was determined using a valuation performed by a stockholder of ours. We used this stockholder to assist us with the valuation of our common stock rather than in independent third party appraiser because we determined that this stockholder had extensive relevant valuation experience and was uniquely informed about our business and industry characteristics. This valuation was determined utilizing a variety of assumptions, including among other things, published market EBITDA multiples of comparable publicly traded companies, published data from similar private transactions, and our forecasts of future cash flows. We use historical data and objectively verifiable information to determine the risk-free interest rate and the expected dividend yield. The most sensitive estimates that we make in determining the fair value of our stock option grants is the estimated fair value of our common stock on the grant date and its expected volatility. We have used published historical stock indices of comparable companies to estimate our common stock's volatility.

        In March 2005 we granted 173,987 options with an exercise price of $14.86 per share and in September of 2005, we granted 529,100 options with an exercise price of $16.00 per share. The estimated fair value of the options of $1.1 million or $6.38 per share for the March 2005 option grant and $4.2 million or $7.97 per share for the September 2005 option grants is being amortized over the respective vesting periods of five and four years respectively. We believe that our estimates of the fair value of the stock options granted in recent periods are reasonable and supportable.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

        Market risk is the risk of loss to future earnings, to future values, or to future cash flows that may result from the changes in the price of financial instruments. We are exposed to financial market risks, including changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. Exposure to market risks related to operating activities is managed through our regular operating and financing activities.

    Foreign Currency Risk

        We are exposed to foreign currency translation risks. We have not entered into contracts or financial instruments to manage this risk. The exposure related to fluctuations in the exchange rates on the local currency of our 100% owned Canadian, Mexican, and European subsidiaries, Williams Scotsman Inc. of Canada, Williams Scotsman Mexico S. de R.L. de C.V., and Williams Scotsman Europe, S.L. are not significant to overall operations. The effect of changes in the exchange rate has been separately identified in the cash flow statement.

        Founded more than 50 years ago, we believe we are the largest provider of modular space solutions in North America. Operating through our network of 86 branch offices, we provide high quality, cost effective modular space solutions to a diversified client base of more than 25,000 customers in multiple industries including construction, education, commercial and industrial, and government. Our products, which include mobile offices, modular classrooms and other multi-unit modular structures, offer our customers flexible, low-cost, and timely solutions to meet their temporary space needs on an outsourced basis. We also provide portable storage solutions and we believe we are the third largest portable storage company in the United States. Our current modular space and portable storage lease fleet consists of approximately 99,000 units. In addition to leasing, we offer both new and used units for sale and provide delivery, installation and other ancillary products and services. As of March 31, 2006, we had invested a total of $1.2 billion in our lease fleet. For the year ended December 31, 2005 and the three months ended March 31, 2006, we generated revenues of approximately $592 million and $165 million, respectively.

        Our business model is primarily focused on leasing rather than selling our units. We believe our leasing model is highly attractive because our lease fleet:

    generates recurring revenues from our units leased to customers with an average lease duration of 27 months;

    has average monthly leasing rates which recoup our average unit investment in approximately 4 years;

    maintains a high utilization level that has averaged 82% over the last 10 years;

    consists of units with useful lives approximating 20 years which retain substantial residual values throughout these periods; and

    produces incremental leasing operating margins of more than 60% (i.e. the contribution of an existing unit put on lease after reductions for cost of leasing, associated commissions and depreciation).

        Since 1997, we have doubled the size of our fleet and increased the size of our branch network, both organically and through selective strategic acquisitions. As a result of these and other factors, from 1997 to 2005, we were able to increase our revenues at a compound annual growth rate, or "CAGR," of 12.2%.

        Our modular space fleet consists of approximately 77,000 modular space units, which are generally comprised of standardized, versatile products that can be configured to meet a wide variety of customer needs. All of our modular space units are intended to provide convenient, comfortable space for occupants at a location of their choosing. The units are fitted with axles and hitches and are towed to various locations. Our units are wood or aluminum framed, mounted on a steel chassis, contain materials used in conventional buildings and are equipped with air conditioning and heating, electrical outlets and, where necessary, plumbing facilities. For many applications, our units can be combined into multi-unit configurations to meet the space needs of our customers. We believe that our units are durable, flexible and generally rent based upon condition rather than age. As a result, our units retain most of their initial value over their useful lives. Over the past ten years, we have sold modular space units from our lease fleet at an average gross margin of 23.2%.

57



        Our portable storage fleet of approximately 22,000 units is primarily comprised of steel containers which address the need for secure, temporary, on-site storage of customer goods on a flexible, low-cost basis. We believe that our portable storage fleet provides a complementary product to cross-sell to our modular space customers, as well as to serve new customers.

History

        We were incorporated under the laws of Delaware in November 1993 for the purpose of acquiring Williams Scotsman. Williams Scotsman was formed by the 1990 merger of Williams Mobile Offices, Inc. and Scotsman Manufacturing, Inc. Our predecessor companies were founded over 50 years ago. Subsequent to the merger, we made the strategic decision to close our manufacturing facilities and focus on core leasing activities.

        During 2005, we completed an initial public offering of shares of our common stock. Net proceeds of the initial public offering to us were approximately $223.1 million. We have significant equity owners, including related parties of Cypress and Keystone. These parties participated in our 1997 recapitalization in which an investor group, which includes related parties of Cypress and Keystone, invested equity of $135.0 million. As of May 17, 2006, related parties of Cypress and Keystone beneficially own in the aggregate approximately 28.02% of the outstanding shares of our stock.

        Since the 1997 recapitalization, we have made three significant acquisitions and a number of smaller acquisitions to complement our internal fleet growth and branch expansion. We acquired Space Master International, Inc. on September 1, 1998 for total consideration of $272.7 million, adding approximately 12,800 modular space units to our lease fleet. On February 1, 1999, we acquired Evergreen Mobile Company with a 2,000 unit modular space fleet, for $36.2 million. On March 26, 2004, we acquired nearly 3,800 modular DSA classroom units located in the state of California from Transport International Pool, Inc. (d/b/a GE Modular Space) for approximately $43.5 million.

Industry Overview

        The Modular Building Institute, in its State of the Industry 2005 report, estimates that U.S. modular space industry dealers generated in excess of $3.0 billion of leasing and sales revenues in 2004. The industry has expanded rapidly over the last thirty years as the number of applications for modular space has increased and recognition of the product's positive attributes has grown. By outsourcing their space needs, customers are able to achieve flexibility, preserve capital for core operations, and convert fixed costs into variable costs. Flexibility and reusability are the hallmarks of modular buildings. Unlike structures built on-site which generally have a fixed utilization and occupancy design, a modular product is not site specific and can be reutilized. It is not unusual to have modular buildings serve a wide variety of users during their life spans. The industry remains highly fragmented, and we believe that we and GE Capital Modular Space are the largest providers in the industry.

        Companies within the modular space industry typically offer three major product types: single-wide modular space units, section modular space units and modular classrooms.

    Single-wide and section modular space units are used in a variety of customer applications, including field offices at construction sites, rental facilities, hospital diagnostic annexes, special events headquarters, golf pro shops and larger general commercial offices. These units are typically very versatile and easy to install, enabling the provider to respond quickly and efficiently to customer needs. Customers are likely to base their leasing decision on product availability and price. As a result, we believe

58


      that providers must have a ready-to-lease fleet of standardized products located throughout a network of local branches to be successful. The section modular units are comprised of high-end modular units that are grouped in specialized configurations to meet a variety of needs for corporations, federal, state and local governments and other entities. The multi-unit complexes are used for a variety of applications such as general office space, healthcare facilities, military installations, workforce housing and detention facilities. We believe that this product category will continue to expand as the flexibility, affordability and portability of modular solutions are employed to meet a widening range of customer needs.

    Modular classrooms serve the education market and are generally double-wide units that have been configured to serve as classrooms, computer and science labs and media centers, among other applications. Educational units are leased to school districts, which typically demand quality units supported by a high level of customer service and local knowledge. Demand for modular classrooms has continued to increase due to (1) an increase in state and local initiatives governing maximum class sizes, (2) pressures to find cost-effective ways to expand classroom capacity, (3) increased interstate and intrastate migrations necessitating rapid expansion of education space in particular regions or localities, (4) the continued growth of the school age population and (5) facility modernization. As the popularity and use of modular classrooms expand, we believe that customers are increasingly turning to large scale providers capable of delivering units with high aesthetic appeal, the structural strength to withstand long-term use by students, high air quality standards and timely maintenance of units on an ongoing basis.

        We are also a major participant in the U.S. portable storage industry, and although there are, to our knowledge, no publicly available estimates of the size of the industry, management believes the size of the portable storage industry is expanding due to increasing awareness of the advantages of portable storage. The portable storage industry provides customers with a flexible and low-cost storage alternative to permanent warehouse space and fixed-site self storage by addressing the need for security, convenience and immediate accessibility. Portable storage products are primarily on the ground containers. These containers are primarily steel and range from 20' to 40' in length and are typically used as ground entry storage containers. Portable storage units are delivered to the customer's location in order to address the need for secure, temporary, and convenient storage on a flexible, low-cost basis. The portable storage industry is also highly fragmented with the largest provider in the industry being Mobile Mini, Inc.

Competitive Strengths

    Market Leadership with Significant Scale

        We believe we are the largest provider of modular space solutions in North America. We believe that we are the No. 1 or No. 2 provider of modular space solutions in most of our regional markets and that the Williams Scotsman brand has strong market awareness. We are one of the only industry participants with an extensive, nationwide branch network, with breadth and depth of fleet at the local level, and with the technical expertise and operational capabilities that can provide a full range of solutions including mobile offices, modular classrooms, and larger commercial applications. Our extensive footprint has enabled us to attract over 300 national account customers who prefer the convenience of working with a single source in multiple geographies. Additionally, our over 50 years of operating history and scale have enabled us to develop a favorable relationship with our suppliers and customers.

59


    Customer Service Focus

        We believe that leasing of modular space is a service oriented business that requires significant local market presence and infrastructure. Customers seek to do business with modular space providers that maintain a readily available, high quality lease fleet, and provide full service capabilities. Our branches are staffed with sales personnel who work with our customers to define and solve their space needs. We also maintain a full-service support staff at the local level to prepare units for lease, to deliver and return units, and to maintain units while on lease. We have over 1,200 sales and service personnel at our branches and managed over 112,000 deliveries and returns of our modular space and portable storage units in 2005. As a result of this extensive customer focus, our top 20 customers by revenue for 2005 have done business with us for an average of approximately 10 years.

    Effective Fleet Management

        Our proprietary management information systems and fleet management initiatives allow us to actively manage our lease fleet to maximize customer satisfaction, optimize fleet utilization and rental rates and to control new unit capital spending. Our management information systems provide our local branches with real time, on-line access to comprehensive fleet information, including leasing history and condition and availability of our units. By providing this information at the local level, we are able to more effectively monitor, allocate and price units. In addition, we maintain a standardized lease fleet with units that meet multi-state industrial building codes which allows us to leverage our branch network and rapidly redeploy units to areas of higher customer demand in the surrounding geographic markets. At the same time, we are able to easily modify our structures to meet specific customer needs. Additionally, we have the flexibility to refurbish existing units in order to re-lease them when we have sufficient customer demand or we can choose to sell used units to our customers.

    High Degree of Diversity

        Our business is highly diversified in terms of customers, industries and geographies served. We have an estimated 25,000 customers, the largest of which accounted for less than 2% of our 2005 revenues, and our ten largest customers accounted for approximately 11% of our 2005 revenues. From our roots of focusing primarily on the construction industry, we have expanded our applications over the years to several other end markets such as education, commercial and industrial, and federal, state and local government, facilitating our growth. From a geographic perspective, our fleet is deployed throughout most of the major markets in the United States and Canada and we recently entered Mexico. We believe that this diversity limits our exposure to downturns related to a given customer, industry or region while providing significant opportunities to grow our business.

    Experienced Management with Significant Equity Ownership

        We believe our management's experience and long tenure with our company give us a strong competitive advantage. Our current senior management team, led by our President and Chief Executive Officer, Gerard E. Holthaus, who has been with us since 1994, has successfully entered new markets, expanded our customer base and more than doubled our fleet size. Our branch operations are led by an executive vice president and eight vice presidents, who collectively average 20 years of industry experience and 10 years with our company. Members of our management team hold significant equity investments in our company.

Operating Strategy

    Increase Utilization and Rental Rate of Existing Lease Fleet

        A significant factor in our profitability is the level of utilization of our existing lease fleet of approximately 99,000 units. Over the past ten years, our utilization rate has averaged 82% with a high of 87% in 1997 and a low of 77% in 2003. Historically, our average utilization rate has had a high correlation to non-residential construction starts. As the economy has recovered, we have seen utilization rate increases. For the three months ended March 31, 2006, our utilization rate improved to 82.0% from 80.4% in 2005. Another important factor in our profitability is our average rental rate. In 2004, we implemented two price increases and have seen improvement in our average rental rate. We estimate that for every 1% of utilization rate increase in our existing fleet, we achieve an additional $3.3 million of annual leasing revenue and, for every $1 increase in average rental rate, we achieve an additional $1.0 million of annual leasing revenue. Given that our units have an average lease duration of 27 months, we have not yet realized the full benefits of these improving operating metrics.

    Expand our Lease Fleet

        We intend to continue to expand our lease fleet through purchases of new units and selective acquisitions of units from third parties. We purchase new units or acquire existing units based on customer specific demand and forecast utilization levels by product, region and customer. From January 1, 2000 to March 31, 2006, we made nine acquisitions of approximately 8,700 units for a total aggregate fleet purchase price of $90.3 million. Units added through acquisitions accounted for approximately 17% of the total value of fleet purchases during this period. Among other reasons, acquisitions are attractive because they enable us to acquire units with existing leases that generate immediate revenues and leverage our existing infrastructure. Due to our extensive branch network, management information systems and experienced management team, we are generally able to integrate acquired fleets at a low cost within a relatively short period of time. For example we identified Canada as a growth opportunity which we entered in 1999 through new unit purchases and acquisitions. Today we operate eight branches with approximately 4,900 units in Canada and look to continue to add units. We intend to continue to make selective fleet acquisitions in North America, including Mexico which we entered in 2004.

    Further Penetrate Education Sector

        We have expanded our modular classroom business. Our revenues from education customers have increased from 20% to 28% of our revenues from 2000 to 2005. We believe that the education market offers additional growth opportunities as a result of the following:

    an increase in state and local initiatives governing maximum class sizes;

    state and local governmental pressures to find cost-effective solutions to their classroom space needs;

    shifting and fluctuating school populations necessitating expansion of education space, especially in the southern and western regions of the United States;

    the predicted growth of the school age population; and

    facility modernization.

        Our modular classroom business is attractive because the classroom units have higher utilization rates and longer average lease terms than other modular space units and the modular classroom business is less cyclical. To develop this business, we have dedicated

61



sales representatives for modular classrooms in key states such as Florida and California. We offer our education customers the flexibility to purchase or lease classroom units depending upon their needs and resources. They also benefit from our longstanding relationships with manufacturers, and our experience in meeting the numerous local building codes and specifications that apply to classroom units.

    Expand our Sales Business

        We have expanded our sales business to meet the increased demand from our customers. Historically, we have sold new units to customers who prefer to own rather than lease. Although the education sector has been and will continue to be a consistent source of our sales revenue, we believe there are significant opportunities for the sale of modular space units to other sectors such as healthcare, commercial and industrial, and government. For example, the reorganization efforts by the U.S. military in recent years has continued to create significant demand for our products.

    Grow Portable Storage Business

        We believe that the portable storage business is highly complementary to our modular space business and represents a significant growth opportunity. From 1997 to 2005, our storage product fleet has grown at a CAGR of 13.9% from approximately 7,700 units to approximately 21,700 units as a result of fleet purchases and acquisitions. Portable storage units are characterized by quick return of capital, long useful lives, a history of substantial value retention and the ability to generate recurring revenues and high operating margins. We expect to leverage our existing branch network, sales force, customer base and management information systems to deliver storage units to our current and potential customers. We intend to continue adding to our fleet of portable storage units and have expanded our sales force to include personnel who are dedicated exclusively to storage products.

    European Expansion Opportunities

        We recently entered the European market and believe it is an attractive geographic expansion opportunity. In July 2004, we acquired a minority interest in, and secured a right of first refusal to acquire, one of the largest modular space providers in Spain, Wiron Construcciones Modulares, S.A. Wiron has branches located throughout Spain. We believe that the modular space industry is established in Europe, yet is significantly earlier in its lifecycle as compared to the U.S. market. In particular, we believe the European modular space industry has not experienced the expansion of applications and end markets to the same extent as in the United States because modular space applications have historically been more focused on the construction industry. Given our historical experience in expanding modular space applications and securing new customers through our sales efforts in the United States, we believe that we are well positioned to transfer our expertise to the European market.

Products

        Our products can be used to meet a variety of customer needs. Sample applications of modular space units include classrooms, construction site offices, temporary office space, sales offices and special events headquarters. Our modular space fleet ranges from single-unit facilities to section modular structures, which combine two or more units into one structure for applications that require more space. Units typically range in size from 8 to 14 feet in width and 16 to 70 feet in length and are wood or aluminum framed mounted on a steel chassis. The units are fitted with axles and hitches and are towed to various locations. Most

62



units contain materials used in conventional buildings and are equipped with air conditioning and heating, electrical outlets and, where necessary, plumbing facilities. Modular space units are extremely durable and generally have an estimated economic useful life of 20 years. Products have varying lease terms, with average contractual terms of 15 months. However, most customers retain the product for a longer period as evidenced by an average existing lease duration of 27 months at March 31, 2006.

        Our specific product offerings are described below:

        Single-Wide Modular Space Units.    Single-wide modular space units which include mobile offices are the most functional and versatile units in our lease fleet. Units typically have "open interiors" which can be modified using movable partitions. Single-wide modular space units include tile floors, air conditioning/heating units, partitions and, if requested, toilet facilities.

        Section Modulars.    Section modulars are two or more units combined into one structure. Interiors are customized to match the customer needs. Examples of section modular units include hospital diagnostic annexes, special events headquarters, golf pro shops and larger general commercial offices.

        Classrooms.    Classroom units are generally standard double-wide units adapted specifically for use by school systems or universities. Classroom units usually feature chalkboards and teaching aids, air conditioning/heating units, windows along side-walls and, if requested, toilet facilities.

        Sales Offices.    Sales offices are marketed to businesses that require site located space for sales presentations. Exteriors are typically wood-sided with some models offering recessed front entries. Our "Executive Line" sales offices are larger, more expensive versions of the standard sales office with more amenities.

        Storage Products.    Storage products are windowless and are typically used for secure storage space. Our storage units are primarily ground-level entry storage containers with swing doors. These units are made of heavy exterior metals for security and water tightness.

Branch Network

        As a key element to our market leadership strategy, we maintain a network of 86 branch offices throughout the United States, Canada, and Mexico. This network enables us to increase our product availability and customer service within our regional and local markets. Customers benefit because they are provided with improved service availability, reduced time to occupancy, better access to sales representatives, the ability to inspect units prior to rental and lower freight costs which are typically paid by the customer. We benefit because we are able to spread regional overhead and marketing costs over a larger lease base, redeploy units within our branch network to optimize utilization, discourage potential competitors by providing ample local supply and offer profitable short-term leases which would not be profitable without a local market presence.

        Management believes geographic diversification of our branch network balances our economic and operating risk. In 2005, the northeast, mid-Atlantic, southeast, central southwest, central northwest and Canadian regions accounted for 15%, 10%, 23%, 27%, 18%, and 7% of our revenues, respectively. During 2004, we entered the Mexican market through the formation of a 100% owned subsidiary and the establishment of a branch office in Monterrey, Mexico. On February 17, 2006, we acquired American Homes Internacional, S.A. de C.V., a Monterrey, Mexico-based company that leased and sold mobile office units. This

63



purchase resulted in the acquisition of approximately 300 units and the related customer base. While we anticipate future revenue growth opportunities in this market, revenues for 2005 were not significant. For the year ended December 31, 2005, 93% of our consolidated revenues were generated from U.S. operations.

        Our branches are generally headed by a dedicated branch manager. Our branch operations are led by an executive vice president and eight vice presidents who collectively average 20 years of industry experience and 10 years with our company. Management believes it is important to encourage employees to achieve specified revenue and profit levels and to provide a high level of service to our customers. Our regional and branch managers' compensation is based upon the financial performance of their branches and overall corporate performance which approximates 40% of their total compensation. Sales representatives' compensation is commission driven and based on the gross profits of business written.

Operations

    Leasing

        Leasing revenue is a function of average monthly rental rate, fleet size and utilization. We monitor fleet utilization at each branch. For 2005, average fleet utilization was approximately 81%. While we adjust our pricing to respond to local competition in our markets, we believe that we generally achieve a rental rate equal to or above that of our competitors because of the quality of our products and our high level of customer service.

        As part of our leasing operations, we sell used modular space units from our lease fleet either at fair market value or, to a much lesser extent, pursuant to pre-established lease purchase options included in the terms of our lease agreements. Due in part to an active fleet maintenance program, our units maintain a substantial portion of their initial value which includes the cost of the units as well as costs of significant improvements made to the units.

    New Unit Sales

        New unit sales include sales of newly-manufactured modular space units. We do not generally purchase new units for resale until we have obtained firm purchase orders (which are generally non-cancelable) for such units. New modular space units are generally purchased more heavily in the late spring and summer months due to seasonal classroom and construction market requirements.

    Delivery and Installation

        We provide delivery, site-work, installation and other services to our customers as part of our leasing and sales operations. Revenues from delivery, site-work and installation result from the transportation of units to a customer's location, site-work required prior to installation and installation of the units which have been leased or sold. Typically units are placed on temporary foundations constructed by our service technicians, and service personnel will also generally install our ancillary products. We also derive revenues from tearing down and removing units once a lease expires.

64


    Other

        We also derive revenue from other products and services, including rental of steps, furniture and ramps; sales of parts, supplies and security systems; and charges for granting insurance waivers (i.e., charging a fee to customers who do not provide their own insurance certificate).

Capital Expenditures

        We closely monitor fleet capital expenditures, which include fleet purchases and capitalizable costs of improvements to existing units. Generally, fleet purchases are controlled by field and corporate executives, and must pass our fleet purchasing policy guidelines (which include ensuring that utilization rates and unrentable units levels are reviewed for acceptability, that redeployment, refurbishment and conversion options have been considered, and that specific return on investment criteria have been evaluated). We purchase our units through approximately 70 third-party suppliers (most suppliers have only one factory, which generally serves a market within 300 to 400 miles), with no significant dependence on any supplier. The top three suppliers of units for 2005 represented approximately 31% of all fleet purchases, and the top ten suppliers represented approximately 65% of all fleet purchases. We believe that we have an excellent working relationship with our suppliers.

        We believe that our fleet purchases are flexible and can be adjusted to match business needs and prevailing economic conditions. We are generally not "locked in" to long-term purchase contracts with manufacturers and can modify our capital spending activities to meet customer demand. For example, our gross fleet capital expenditures prior to proceeds from sales of used units were approximately $53.3 million in 2003, $79.9 million in 2004, $139.8 million in 2005 and $37.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006.

        We supplement our fleet spending with acquisitions. Although the timing and amount of acquisitions are difficult to predict, management considers its acquisition strategy to be opportunistic and will adjust its fleet spending patterns as acquisition opportunities become available. For example, on March 26, 2004, we acquired nearly 3,800 modular DSA classroom units located in the state of California from Transport International Pool, Inc. (d/b/a GE Modular Space) for approximately $43.5 million. We consider the purchase of these assets an asset purchase rather than an acquisition of a business because in many cases, the customer base of the leased units acquired was duplicative of our existing customer base, and we did not acquire employees, physical facilities, sales force, or other business related items.

Marketing

        In addition to opening new branches, we use a number of marketing tools to generate new business and customers. By maintaining a detailed and updated customer and prospect tracking system, marketing and sales personnel generally can identify when a particular customer or prospect typically utilizes our products and may contact such customer or prospect regarding their future needs.

        Through our marketing and sales efforts we have successfully expanded the uses for our products. For example, since 1993, the number of industries (as measured by Standard Industrial Classification ("SIC") code) that lease or purchase our products is more than 400, and we expect to continue to increase our penetration of other industries that would benefit from the usage of our products. See "—Customer Base."

        Developing new customers is an integral part of the sales process and is monitored through the use of quarterly goals for each employee with sales responsibility. In addition to

65



our prospect tracking databases, we conduct direct mail campaigns and are a heavy user of print advertising, including the yellow pages and customer trade publications. We have developed a toll-free telephone number network so that our customers can call and speak to a sales representative in the branch location nearest the site where the call was placed. In addition, we participate in numerous regional and national trade shows, and our sales personnel participate in local trade groups and associations. We also design marketing campaigns targeted at specific market niches.

        We also have a national accounts program which currently includes approximately 300 national accounts and we continue to pursue other national account relationships. The relationships are coordinated by a national account manager and serviced by the branch network. Due to our broad geographic capabilities, this program allows us to further differentiate ourselves from many of our "mom-and-pop" competitors by providing consistent service on a national basis.

Customer Base

        We continually seek to expand our customer base and the applications for our products. Our customer base is comprised of more than 25,000 companies, which operate in multiple industries. We believe that the construction, education, commercial/industrial and other, and government industries accounted for approximately 29%, 28%, 20%, and 9%, respectively, of total revenues in 2005, and that no other industry accounted for more than 3% of total revenues in 2005. During 2005, no single customer accounted for more than 2% of our total revenues and our top ten customers accounted for approximately 11% of total revenues.

        Our key customer industries as categorized by SIC Code are as follows:

        Construction.    We provide office and storage space to a broad array of contractors associated with both residential and nonresidential buildings, commercial offices and warehouses; highway, street, bridge and tunnel contractors; water, sewer, communication and power line contractors; and special construction trades, including glass, glazing and demolition. We believe our construction customer base is characterized by a wide variety of contractors, who are associated with original construction as well as capital improvements in the commercial, institutional, residential and municipal arenas.

        Education.    Rapid and unpredictable shifts in populations within states often necessitate quick expansion of education facilities particularly in elementary and secondary schools. State and local governmental budgetary pressures, as well as classroom size reduction legislation, and refurbishment of existing facilities, have made modular space units, especially multi-sectional units, a convenient and cost-effective way to expand classroom, laboratory and library capacity. Our quality products are well suited for educational institutions, which demand a high level of maintenance and service support.

        Commercial/Industrial and Other.    This category includes a variety of industries and product uses which help diversify our revenue stream. Common examples include: entertainment, recreation, transportation terminals, recycling, retail and fast food establishments, metal processing and refining and disaster relief. Although there are a number of different industries in this category, we believe that no single industry included in this category was material to us in 2005.

        Government.    Governmental users consist of federal, state and local public sector organizations such as the United States Environmental Protection Agency and state highway administrations. We have enjoyed particular success in focused niches such as prisons and jails, courthouses, military installations, national security buildings and NASA facilities. We

66



have a strategy of concentrated regional focus in order to gain business from local governmental customers.

        Professional Services.    Customers in this category include professionals from a broad array of industry sectors including engineering, architectural, accounting, legal, insurance and sales.

        Healthcare.    Healthcare customers are frequent users of multi-sectional facilities as administrative offices, waiting rooms, MRI and other diagnostic annexes adjacent to existing hospitals.

        Utilities.    Modular space units have traditionally been leased to utilities involved in electrical service, natural gas distribution and production, and other energy-related services. Units are used as meeting rooms, reception and visitor centers, security offices and, during periods of utility plant reconstruction, as facilities to house the operations staff.

        Chemical and Pharmaceutical.    Chemical and pharmaceutical companies have been long-time users of temporary office space. Modular space units are particularly well suited for laboratory usage where space is needed for the duration of a specific project or for an off-site or isolated laboratory.

Fleet Management Information Systems

        Our propriety management information systems are instrumental to our lease fleet management and targeted marketing efforts and allow management to monitor operations at our branches on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis. Lease fleet information is updated daily at the branch level and verified through a monthly physical inventory by branch personnel. This provides management with on-line access to utilization, lease fleet unit levels and rental revenues by branch or geographic region. In addition, an electronic file for each unit showing its lease history and current location/status is maintained in the information system. Branch sales people utilize the system to obtain information regarding unit condition and availability. The database tracks individual units by serial number and provides comprehensive information including cost, condition and other financial and unit specific information.

Regulatory Matters

        We must comply with various federal, state and local environmental, transportation, health and safety laws and regulations in connection with our operations. We believe that we are in substantial compliance with these laws and regulations. In addition to compliance costs, we may incur costs related to alleged environmental damage associated with past or current properties owned or leased by us. We believe that our liability, if any, for any environmental remediation will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. However, we cannot be certain that the discovery of currently unknown matters or conditions, new laws and regulations, or stricter interpretations of existing environmental laws will not have a material adverse effect on our business or operations in the future.

        A portion of our units are subject to regulation in certain states under motor vehicle and similar registrations and certificate of title statutes. We believe that we have complied in all material respects with all motor vehicle registration and similar certificate of title statutes in states where such statutes clearly apply to modular space units. However, in certain states, the applicability of such statutes to our modular space units is not clear beyond doubt. If additional registration and related requirements are deemed to be necessary in such states or if the laws in such states or other states were to change to require us to comply with such requirements, we could be subject to additional costs, fees and taxes as well as administrative

67



burdens in order to comply with such statutes and requirements. We do not believe the effect of such compliance will be material to our business, results of operations or financial condition.

Trademarks

        We own a number of trademarks important to our business, including Williams Scotsman® and Williams Scotsman [and design]®.

        Our material trademarks are registered or pending applications for registrations in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and various foreign jurisdictions. Registrations for such trademarks in the United States will last indefinitely as long as we continue to use and police the trademarks and renew filings with the applicable governmental offices. There are no claims pending against us challenging our right to use any of our material trademarks in the United States or any other country.

Competition

        Although our competition varies significantly by market, the modular space industry, in general, is highly competitive. We compete primarily in terms of product availability, customer service and price. We believe that our reputation for customer service and our ability to offer a wide selection of units suitable for various uses at competitive prices allows us to compete effectively. However, our primary competitor, GE Capital Modular Space, is less leveraged, has greater market share or product availability in some markets and has greater financial resources and pricing flexibility than us. The portable storage industry is also highly fragmented and Mobile Mini, Inc. and Mobile Storage Group, Inc. are the largest providers in the industry.

Employees

        As of March 31, 2006, we had 1,358 employees. None of our employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement. Management believes its relationship with our employees is good. We have never experienced any material labor disruption and are unaware of any efforts or plans to organize our employees.

Board Structure and Compensation

Composition of our Board of Directors

        Our board of directors consists of seven directors. Our board of directors is divided into three classes as described below, with each director serving a three-year term and one class being elected at each year's annual meeting of stockholders. Messrs. Alexander, Finley and Van Oss serve as Class I directors (with a term expiring in 2009). Messrs. Gruber and Singleton serve as Class II directors (with a term expiring in 2007). Messrs. Holthaus and Flick serve as Class III directors (with a term expiring in 2008). We expect to appoint one additional director to the board of directors, who would be deemed independent under applicable federal securities laws and the rules of the Nasdaq National Market by September 2006.

Board Independence

        The board of directors has determined that each of the current directors, other than Mr. Holthaus, are independent as a member of the board of directors under the applicable federal securities laws and the rules of the Nasdaq National Market, as currently in effect.

70



Furthermore, the board of directors has determined that none of the members of the three standing committees of the board of directors has any material relationship with the company (either directly or as a partner, stockholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with the company).

Committees of the Board

        Executive Committee.    Our Executive Committee serves as a general advisory committee to the board of directors. For many years, it has been a vehicle for the preliminary discussion of a wide range of business matters prior to their submission to the full board of directors. This committee has no charter and no compensation is paid to its members for serving on this committee. Meetings are held on an "as needed" basis, mostly by telephone, and no minutes are kept. This committee does not exercise any authority, but serves in an advisory capacity only. Messrs. Holthaus, Singleton and Finley currently serve on this committee.

        Our board of directors has three standing committees: an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. By September 2006, each of these committees is required to be comprised entirely of independent directors. Except for the Audit Committee as described below, each of these committees is comprised solely of independent directors. The following is a brief description of our committees.

        Audit Committee.    Our Audit Committee assists the board in monitoring the integrity of our financial statements, our independent auditors' qualifications and independence, the performance of our audit function and independent auditors, and our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. The Audit Committee has direct responsibility for the appointment, compensation, retention (including termination) and oversight of our independent auditors, and our independent auditors report directly to the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee also reviews and approves all related-party transactions in accordance with the rules of the Nasdaq National Market. A copy of the Audit Committee charter is included as an appendix to the proxy.

        Messrs. Flick, Finley and Van Oss are members of our Audit Committee. Mr. Flick is the Chairman of the Audit Committee. The board of directors has determined that Mr. Flick qualifies as an audit committee financial expert under the rules of the Commission implementing Section 407 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and meets the independence and the experience requirements of the Nasdaq National Market and the federal securities laws. Mr. Van Oss was appointed to the Audit Committee in December 2005. Mr. Finley is a Managing Director of Cypress, which held approximately 14.01% of Williams Scotsman International's common stock as of May 17, 2006. Mr. Finley is not independent as a member of the Audit Committee under applicable federal securities laws. He is serving as a member in the transition period. An additional independent member will be appointed by September 2006 to replace Mr. Finley, at which time the members of the Audit Committee will be independent under the federal securities laws and the rules of the Nasdaq National Market.

        Compensation Committee.    Our Compensation Committee reviews and recommends policies relating to compensation and benefits of our directors and employees and is responsible for approving the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers. Our Compensation Committee also administers the issuance of equity awards under our equity incentive plans. The Compensation Committee is also responsible for producing the annual report on executive compensation as included in this proxy statement. Messrs. Gruber, Singleton, and Alexander are the current members of our Compensation

71



Committee and meet the independence requirements of the Nasdaq National Market and the federal securities laws. Mr. Gruber is chairman of the Compensation Committee.

        Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.    Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee nominates candidates for election to our board of directors and develops and recommends to the board of directors corporate governance guidelines that are applicable to us. Messrs. Singleton, Flick and Gruber are members of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and meet the independence requirements of the Nasdaq National Market and the federal securities laws. Mr. Singleton is Chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

        Steven B. Gruber is a Managing Partner of Oak Hill Capital Management, Inc., which is the manager of Oak Hill Capital Partners, L.P. and Oak Hill Capital Management Partners, L.P. and is a Managing Partner of Oak Hill Capital Management II, LLC, which is the manager of Oak Hill Capital Partners II, L.P. and Oak Hill Capital Management Partners II, L.P. (collectively, the "Oak Hill Partnerships"). Scotsman Partners, L.P., which owns approximately 14.01% of Williams Scotsman International's outstanding common stock as of May 17, 2006, and the Oak Hill Partnerships are related parties. Mr. Gruber also is the Chairman of the Board of ExlService Holdings, Inc. ("EXL"), which is majority-owned by the Oak Hill Partnerships. EXL provides consulting assistance to us in connection with our Sarbanes-Oxley compliance program. In 2005 and 2004, we paid EXL approximately $273,000 and $27,000, respectively, in fees and expense reimbursements.

        James L. Singleton was initially designated to serve on our board by Cypress Merchant Banking Partners L.P. and Cypress Offshore Partners L.P., which own approximately 14.01% of Williams Scotsman International's outstanding common stock and are controlled by Cypress. Mr. Singleton was until December 2005, the Co-Chairman of Cypress, a private equity firm which he co-founded in April 1994. He is currently a director of WESCO. Cypress Merchant Banking Partners L.P. and Cypress Offshore Partners L.P. were significant holders of shares in WESCO prior to August 2005. We use services from WESCO relating to plumbing, heating, air conditioning and electrical parts and supplies to maintain our fleet. We paid WESCO approximately $646,000, $1,265,000, and $1,352,000 in 2003, 2004, and 2005, respectively, for such services. Also, Mr. Stephen A.Van Oss, a member of our board who is a member of the Audit Committee, is the Senior Vice President and Chief Financial and Administrative Officer of WESCO.

        Except as described above, no member of the Compensation Committee has any interlocking or insider relationship with the company which is required to be reported under the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission.

Directors Compensation

In addition, directors receive a fee of $1,500 for each board meeting they attend ($750 if they attend telephonically). In addition, each member of a board committee receives a fee of $1,500 for each committee meeting they attend ($750 if they attend telephonically). Committee chairpersons for the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also receive annual fees of $15,000, $10,000 and $7,500, respectively. Directors are reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attending meetings of the Board of Directors and its committees. Each director (other than Mr. Van Oss) received an award of restricted stock units valued at

72



$45,000 at the date of grant in connection with the initial public offering of Williams Scotsman International. Mr. Van Oss received the same award upon his election as a director of Williams Scotsman International. Each director also receives an annual award of restricted stock units valued at $45,000 at the date of the grant. The restricted stock unit awards vest within six months of the grant date and will be settled in shares of our common stock at such time as provided for in the applicable award agreement.

Employment Agreements

        We have entered into employment agreements with each of Messrs. Holthaus, Donegan, Singer, LeBuhn, and Ross, the terms of which are summarized below. Mr. Holthaus serves as President and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Donegan serves as our Executive Vice President—US Field Operations. Mr. Singer serves as Chief Financial Officer. Mr. LeBuhn serves as Senior Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer. Mr. Ross serves as Vice President and General Counsel.

        The term of the employment agreements with each of Messrs. Holthaus, Donegan, Singer, LeBuhn, and Ross commenced on September 20, 2005 and will terminate on the fifth anniversary of that date. Messrs. Holthaus, Donegan, Singer, LeBuhn, and Ross will receive a base salary of $486,000, $265,000, $300,000, $181,000 and $132,500, respectively, subject to upward adjustment by our Board of Directors in its sole discretion, and each of these executive officers is eligible to receive an annual cash bonus through participation in our management incentive plan, as in effect from time to time, and equity awards through our

74



2005 Omnibus Award Plan. In addition, Mr. Donegan is also eligible to participate in our targeted incentive plan for field management. Each of these executive officers will be eligible to participate in our benefit plans, policies and programs.

        If the employment of any of these executive officers is terminated by us without "cause" or by the executive officer for "good reason" following a "change in control" (as each term is defined in the applicable employment agreement), as applicable, then:

    the executive officer will be entitled to receive continued monthly payments of the executive officer's base salary and a management incentive bonus equal to the bonus paid to the executive officer in the year before his year of termination (plus in the case of Mr. Donegan the targeted incentive plan bonus paid to him for such prior year) to be paid ratably for twelve months (eighteen months for each of Messrs. Holthaus and Donegan) following the date of termination. The executive officer will also receive a pro rata portion of the management incentive bonus for the year of his termination to be paid when the management incentive bonuses for such year are paid generally. If Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") applies to the payments, the payments will commence on the six-month anniversary of the date of termination; and

    the executive officer will be permitted to continue to participate in our health plan and our group term life insurance plan (and we will pay the premium of Mr. Holthaus's long term disability) at our cost, until the executive officer ceases to receive the continued base salary and management incentive bonus payments described above, unless the executive officer becomes eligible for comparable benefits from a subsequent employer, at which time he may continue to participate at the executive officer's cost for the remainder of the federally required period (generally eighteen months following the termination of the executive officer's employment).

        All payments and benefits to be paid or provided to any of these executive officers following a termination of the executive officer's employment by us without cause or by the executive officer for good reason following a change of control are conditioned upon the executive officer's execution of a general release.

        Following the termination of employment of any of the executive officers for any reason, the executive officer will be subject to:

    a post termination non-compete covenant covering the entire United States of America for twelve months (eighteen months for each of Messrs. Holthaus and Donegan) following the date of termination,

    a twelve month post-termination covenant to not hire or attempt to hire any of our employees, and

    a twelve month post-termination covenant to not solicit any of our current or potential customers.

Consists of Williams Scotsman International's 1994 Employee Stock Option Plan and 2005 Employee Stock Option Plan. Includes 16,872 restricted stock units to members of Williams Scotsman International's board of directors which vest within six months from the date of grant. Includes an aggregate of 264,550 of stock options subject to issuance pursuant to company performance goals pursuant to the 2005 Employee stock option plan. Achievement of Company performance goals requires certain EBITDA results cumulatively through 2009, or separately for each of the years 2005 through 2009, as previously established and determined by the Compensation Committee of the board of directors. Options will vest only if applicable company performance goals are fully met and cumulative EBITDA targets are reached or exceed cumulative goal targets. If actual cumulative EBITDA is between the threshold and goal targets, or if only annual and not cumulative targets are met, a smaller number of options would vest. If an individual recipient does not remain employed by or associated with Williams Scotsman International on the cumulative vesting date, employees would forfeit options other than those vested as a result of annual targets.

All other options became fully vested in conjunction with the 1997 Recapitalization and initial public offering.

Based on the fair market stock value of $17.31 at December 31, 2005.

1994 Employee Stock Option Plan

        In March 1995, the Scotsman Holdings, Inc. 1994 Employee Stock Option Plan was adopted for certain salaried key employees (the "1994 Plan"). All options outstanding under the 1994 Plan became fully vested in conjunction with the 1997 Recapitalization. The exercise price of an option will not be less than the fair market value on the date of grant. Effective immediately prior to our public offering on September 19, 2005, we suspended all new grants under the 1994 Plan.

Amended and Restated 1997 Employee Stock Option Plan

        The Scotsman Holdings, Inc. 1997 Employee Stock Option Plan was adopted in December 1997 and amended and restated in December 1998 (the "1997 Plan") to permit grants of options to purchase Williams Scotsman International's common stock which may be granted to our officers and key employees or the officers and key employees of any of our affiliates. The purpose of the 1997 Plan is to promote our interests by (1) attracting and retaining outstanding individuals as officers and other key employees and (2) motivating such individuals to achieve our long-term performance goals by providing incentives in the form of stock ownership. Both non-qualified stock options and incentive stock options may be granted under the 1997 Plan. Our compensation committee has the authority to determine the participants to whom options are granted, the types of options to be granted to each participant, the number of shares covered by each option, the option exercise price, the conditions and the limitations applicable to the exercise of each option and to establish performance standards for determining the periods during which each option will be exercisable. Our compensation committee is authorized to make adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in, options, in the case of certain unusual or nonrecurring events, whenever our board of directors determines that such adjustments are appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of benefits or potential benefits under the 1997 Plan. The individual option agreements govern manner of exercise and disposition of options following retirement, disability, death or other termination of employment. Prior to Williams Scotsman International's public offering on September 19, 2005 we suspended all new grants under the 1997 Plan.

2003 Employee Stock Option Plan

        In January 2003, the Scotsman Holdings, Inc. 2003 Employee Stock Option Plan was adopted for certain key employees (the "2003 Plan") to permit grants of options to purchase

78



Williams Scotsman International's common stock to our officers and key employees or the officers and key employees of any of our affiliates. The purpose of the 2003 Plan is to promote our interests by attracting and retaining outstanding individuals as officers and other key employees and motivating such individuals to achieve our long-term performance goals by providing incentives in the form of stock ownership. Both non-qualified stock options and incentive stock options may be granted under the 2003 Plan. Fifty percent of the options granted to a participant will vest ratably over five years and fifty percent will vest ratably based on our meeting certain financial targets over the same five years. Our compensation committee has the authority to determine the participants to whom options are granted, the types of options to be granted to each participant, the number of shares covered by each option, the option exercise price, the conditions and limitations applicable to the exercise of the option and to establish performance standards for determining the periods during which each option will be exercisable. Our compensation committee is authorized to make adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in, options, in the case of certain unusual or nonrecurring events, whenever our board of directors determines that such adjustments are appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of benefits or potential benefits under the 2003 Plan. The individual option agreements govern manner of exercise and disposition of options following retirement, disability, death or other termination of employment.

        Prior to Williams Scotsman International's public offering on September 19, 2005, we suspended all new grants under the 2003 Plan.

2005 Equity Award Plan

        Prior to Williams Scotsman International's public offering, we adopted the Williams Scotsman International, Inc. 2005 Omnibus Award Plan (the "2005 Plan"), for grants to be made to participants. The purpose of our Plan is to give us a competitive edge in attracting, retaining and motivating employees, directors and consultants and to provide us with a stock plan providing incentives directly related to increases in our stockholder value.

Terms of the Plan

        Administration.    Our compensation committee administers our 2005 Plan. The committee has the authority to determine the terms and conditions of any agreements evidencing any awards granted under our 2005 Plan, and to adopt, alter and repeal rules, guidelines and practices relating to our Plan. Our compensation committee has full discretion to administer and interpret the Plan, to adopt such rules, regulations and procedures as it deems necessary or advisable and to determine among other things the time or times at which the awards may be exercised, and whether and under what circumstances an award may be exercised.

        Eligibility.    Any of our employees, directors, officers or consultants, or of our subsidiaries or their respective affiliates are eligible for awards under our 2005 Plan. Our compensation committee has the sole and complete authority to determine who will be granted an award under the plan.

        Number of Shares Authorized.    The 2005 Plan provides for an aggregate of 1,800,000 shares of Williams Scotsman International's common stock to be available for awards. No participant may be granted awards of options and stock appreciation rights with respect to more than 900,000 shares of Williams Scotsman International's common stock in any one year. No more than 900,000 shares of Williams Scotsman International's common stock may be granted under our 2005 Plan with respect to performance compensation awards in any one year. If any award is forfeited, or if any option terminates, expires or lapses without being

79



exercised, shares of Williams Scotsman International's common stock subject to such award will again be available for future grant. If there is any change in our corporate capitalization, the compensation committee in its sole discretion may make substitutions or adjustments to the number of shares reserved for issuance under our 2005 Plan, the number of shares covered by awards then outstanding under our 2005 Plan, the limitations on awards under our 2005 Plan, the exercise price of outstanding options and such other equitable substitution or adjustments as it may determine appropriate.

        The 2005 Plan will have a term of ten years and no further awards may be granted after that date.

Awards Available for Grant.    The compensation committee may grant awards of nonqualified stock options, incentive (qualified) stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, stock bonus awards, performance compensation awards or any combination of the foregoing. The maximum amount payable pursuant to a cash bonus under our 2005 Plan is $1,000,000.

Options.    The compensation committee is authorized to grant options to purchase shares of Williams Scotsman International's common stock that are either "qualified," meaning they satisfy the requirements of Section 422 of the Code for incentive stock options, or "nonqualified," meaning they are not intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 422 of the Code. These options will be subject to the terms and conditions established by the compensation committee.

Stock Appreciation Rights.    Our compensation committee is authorized to award stock appreciation rights (referred to in this prospectus as SARs) under the 2005 Plan. SARs will be subject to the terms and conditions established by the compensation committee.

Restricted Stock.    Our compensation committee is authorized to award restricted stock under the 2005 Plan. Awards of restricted stock will be subject to the terms and conditions established by the compensation committee.

Restricted Stock Unit Awards.    Our compensation committee is authorized to award restricted stock units. Restricted stock unit awards will be subject to the terms and conditions established by the compensation committee.

Stock Bonus Awards.    Our compensation committee is authorized to grant awards of unrestricted shares, either alone or in tandem with other awards, under such terms and conditions as the compensation committee may determine.

Performance Compensation Awards.    The compensation committee may grant any award under the 2005 Plan in the form of a cash bonus or in the form of a performance compensation award by conditioning the vesting of the award on the satisfaction of certain performance goals. The committee may establish these performance goals with reference to one or more of the following:

    net earnings or net income (before or after taxes);

    basic or diluted earnings per share (before or after taxes);

    net revenue or net revenue growth;

    gross profit or gross profit growth;

    net operating profit (before or after taxes);

    return measures (including, but not limited to, return on assets, capital, invested capital, equity, or sales);

80


    cash flow (including, but not limited to, operating cash flow, free cash flow, and cash flow return on capital);

    earnings before or after taxes, interest, depreciation, and amortization;

    gross or operating margins;

    productivity ratios;

    share price (including, but not limited to, growth measures and total stockholder return);

    expense targets;

    margins;

    operating efficiency;

    objective measures of customer satisfaction;

    working capital targets; and

    measures of economic value added.

Transferability.    Each award may be exercised during the participant's lifetime only by the participant or, if permissible under applicable law, by the participant's guardian or legal representative, and may not be otherwise transferred or encumbered by a participant other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

Amendment.    Our 2005 Plan will have a term of ten years. Our board of directors may amend, suspend or terminate our 2005 Plan at any time; however, stockholder approval may be necessary if the law or listing standards of the Nasdaq National Market so require. No amendment, suspension or termination will impair the rights of any participant or recipient of any award without the consent of the participant or recipient.

Change in Control.    In the event of a change in control (as defined in the 2005 Plan) if the compensation committee in its discretion so determines, all outstanding options and equity issued under the 2005 Plan shall fully vest and performance compensation awards will vest, as determined by the compensation committee, based on the level of attainment of the specified performance goals. The compensation committee may, in its discretion, cancel outstanding awards and pay the value of the awards to the participants in connection with a change in control.

401(k)/Defined Contribution Plan

        The 401(k) Plan has a "matching" contribution feature under which we may contribute a percentage of the amount deferred by each participant, excluding the "catch-up contribution." Such percentage, if any, is determined by our management at its discretion. The Plan also has a discretionary "profit sharing" feature, under which we may contribute, at our discretion, an additional amount allocable to the accounts of active participants meeting eligibility requirements. Our contributions to the 401(k) Plan participant vest ratably during the first five years of a participant's employment and 100% thereafter. We temporarily eliminated the 401(k) employer match in April 2003 as part of a cost reduction initiative. On January 1, 2004, we reinstated the employer match program for 401(k) contributions. No contributions have been made by us under the profit-sharing feature.

        A participant's 401(k) Plan benefits generally are payable upon the participant's death, disability, retirement, or other termination of employment. Payments under the 401(k) Plan are

81



made in a lump sum. In 2005, we made matching contributions to the 401(k) Plan participants in an aggregate amount approximating $582,000.

Deferred Compensation Plan for Executives

        During 1997, we adopted a deferred compensation plan for executives (the "Deferred Compensation Plan") which is meant to be an unfunded deferred compensation plan maintained for a select group of management within the meaning of Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401 (a)(1) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The Deferred Compensation Plan allows key employees to defer a specified amount of their compensation until termination or upon the occurrence of other specified events. All amounts credited to participants' accounts are deemed invested in the investment vehicles of the employee's choice. Because this plan is funded entirely by employee contributions, we have no funding liability for this plan. As of December 31, 2005, the total amount deferred under this Deferred Compensation Plan, including earnings, was approximately $321,000.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

        We have adopted the Williams Scotsman International, Inc. 2005 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Employee Stock Purchase Plan"). The purpose of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan is to provide our employees with an opportunity to purchase our common shares at a 4.75% discount to fair market value through accumulated payroll deductions. Employees may elect to participate in semi-annual offer periods, commencing at times set by our board of directors. All of our employees are eligible to participate in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan beginning with the first offer period beginning on or after their hire dates, so long as their customary employment is more than 20 hours per week and at least five months in any calendar year. Subject to certain limitations, eligible employees may elect to have up to $10,000 of payroll deductions made during each offer period. The Employee Stock Purchase Plan terminates five years after it becomes effective, unless it is terminated sooner by the board. The maximum number of common shares available for sale under the plan is 1,000,000 shares, subject to adjustments for certain defined events. The Employee Stock Purchase Plan is intended to be qualified under Section 423 of the Code.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Stockholders' Agreement

        We, the Investor Stockholders and certain of our officers and employees identified as management stockholders are parties to a Management Stockholders' and Optionholders' Agreement dated as of September 14, 1998 (the "Stockholders' Agreement"). The Stockholders' Agreement was amended on September 23, 2005 prior to consummation of our initial public offering. Except for the registration rights provisions which were amended as described below, all provisions of the Stockholders' Agreement were terminated.

        Under the amended Stockholders' Agreement, if we at any time after an initial public offering propose to register common stock on behalf of the Investor Stockholders, the management stockholders are entitled to piggyback registration rights with respect to such registration unless (i) the common stock held by such management stockholder has been disposed of pursuant to an effective registration statement, (ii) the entire amount of the common stock held by such management stockholder may be sold pursuant to Rule 144(k) or (iii) the common stock held by such management stockholder has ceased to be outstanding. However, the number of shares which may be sold by a management stockholder without the consent of the Investor Stockholders pursuant to any such registration statement may not exceed the product of (A) the total number of shares then beneficially owned by such management stockholder and (B) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares intended to be disposed of by the Investor Stockholders pursuant to such registration statement and the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares then beneficially owned by the Investor Stockholders.

        In connection with the registrations described above, we will indemnify any selling stockholders against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and we will pay all fees, costs and expenses (except underwriting discounts and selling commissions).

Investor Stockholders Agreement

        On May 22, 1997, we, the Investor Stockholders, and the Odyssey Investment Group, Midocean Capital Partners New US, L.P. and Mr. Barry Gossett (together with their permitted transferees and the Investor Stockholders, the "Participating Stockholders") entered into an investor stockholders agreement, which was subsequently amended on September 1, 1998 (the "Investor Stockholders Agreement").

        Other than the registration rights provisions described below, the Investor Stockholders Agreement was terminated on September 23, 2005 upon consummation of the initial public offering of the shares of our common stock.

        Under the Investor Stockholders Agreement, our principal stockholders are entitled to certain demand and piggyback registration rights. Cypress Stockholders and Scotsman Partners each may demand three registrations, if they own more than 20% of the number of shares that were owned on the effective date of the Investor Stockholders Agreement. Odyssey Investment Group and Barry P. Gossett may demand one registration. We are not required to file a registration statement within 180 days following the effective date of another registration statement in which all Participating Stockholders are entitled to include their securities.

        The non-requesting Participating Stockholders are entitled to piggyback registration rights with respect to any registration request made by the requesting Participating Stockholders. If the registration requested by a Participating Stockholder is in the form of an underwritten offering, and if the managing underwriter of the offering determines that the number of

86



securities to be offered would adversely affect the success of the offering, the number of shares included in the offering shall be reduced pro rata among all Participating Stockholders in the proportion that the number of securities sought to be registered by each Participating Stockholder bears to the total number of securities sought to be registered by all Participating Stockholders; provided that, if the requesting Participating Stockholder is not able to sell at least 50% of the securities it requests to be registered, then this Participating Stockholder will have the right to request one more registration.

        The Participating Stockholders are entitled to piggyback registration rights with respect to a registration initiated by us. If we initiate a registration in the form of an underwritten offering, and if the managing underwriter of the offering determines that the number of securities to be offered would adversely affect the success of the offering, then the number of shares included in the offering shall be determined as follows: (i) first, shares offered by us for our own account; and (ii) second, shares requested to be included by the Participating Stockholders, pro rata among the Participating Stockholders in the proportion that the number of securities sought to be registered by each Participating Stockholder bears to the total number of securities sought to be registered by all Participating Stockholders. In connection with the registrations described above, we will indemnify any selling stockholders against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and we will bear all fees, costs and expenses (except underwriting discounts and selling commissions).

        In connection with the equity offering, the Cypress Stockholders and Scotsman Partners exercised their piggyback registration rights under the Investor Stockholders' Agreement and Messrs. Holthaus, Donegan and LeBuhn exercised their piggyback registration rights under the Stockholders' Agreement.

Oak Hill Securities Accounts

        In April 2006, certain accounts managed by Oak Hill Advisors, L.P. and its affiliates, which we refer to as the Oak Hill Securities Accounts, purchased $20.0 million aggregate principal amount of the new notes at a discount from the applicable offering price. In September 2005, the Oak Hill Securities Accounts purchased $42.0 million aggregate principal amount of the original notes at a discount from the applicable offering price. The Oak Hill Securities Accounts committed to purchase the new notes and the original notes prior to the offerings of such notes and the net proceeds received by Williams Scotsman from these purchases were the same that it would have received from an unrelated third party.

        In August 2003, Oak Hill Securities Accounts purchased $30.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 10% Notes at a discount from the applicable offering price. In 2002, Oakhill Securities Accounts purchased $12.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 9.875% Notes at a discount from the applicable offering price. In connection with the initial public offering of the common stock of Williams Scotsman International in September 2005, we repurchased or redeemed all outstanding 9.875% Notes and all 10% Notes that were validly tendered. $1.8 million of the 10% Notes are currently outstanding. The Oak Hill Securities Accounts are also lenders under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility.

        The Oak Hill Securities Accounts acquire and actively manage a diverse portfolio of investments. The principals of the Oak Hill Securities Accounts are associated with Oak Hill Capital Management, Inc. and Oak Hill Capital Management II, LLC.

Tax Sharing Agreement

        On June 28, 2005, Williams Scotsman and Williams Scotsman International entered into a tax sharing agreement (the "Tax Sharing Agreement") whereby Williams Scotsman

87



International elected to file consolidated federal income tax returns on behalf of Williams Scotsman and its subsidiaries. Under the Tax Sharing Agreement, Williams Scotsman and its subsidiaries made payments of $69,031 in 2005 to Williams Scotsman International. These payments generally equal Williams Scotsman and its subsidiaries' tax liabilities, if these tax liabilities had been computed on a stand alone basis.

Other Transactions

        Mr. John T. Moore, Jr., is employed as Manager of Field Reporting of Williams Scotsman and is the son-in-law of our President and Chief Executive Officer. For 2005, Mr. Moore received salary and bonus totaling $81,274 and other employment benefits, including 401(k) contributions by us. His salary and benefits were consistent with those provided to our other employees holding comparable positions. Mr. Moore received salary and bonus totaling $80,259 and $75,691 in 2004 and 2003, respectively.

        Pursuant to the directed share program in connection with the initial public offering of Williams Scotsman International, Michael F. Finley, a director of Williams Scotsman International, purchased 6,000 shares of the common stock of Williams Scotsman International at the initial public offering price of $16.00 per share, for a total purchase price of $96,000.

DESCRIPTION OF OTHER INDEBTEDNESS

Amended and Restated Credit Facility

        Williams Scotsman entered into an amended and restated credit agreement with a syndicate of lenders on June 28, 2005 as part of the Amended and Restated Credit Facility. Bank of America, N.A. is the administrative agent. Banc of America Securities LLC and Deutsche Banc Securities Inc. are the co-lead arrangers and joint book runners. Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas is the syndication agent. Bank of America, N.A. is the collateral agent under the amended and restated credit agreement. On April 12, 2006, we amended the amended and restated credit agreement to permit the issuance of the new notes, to extend the maturity of the Amended and Restated Credit Facility, to lower the applicable margins on the interest rates, to provide for a more favorable borrowing base calculation, to revise the restrictive covenants to grant us greater flexibility to incur debt and make acquisitions and to revise the change of control provision.

        The Amended and Restated Credit Facility consists of (a) a revolving credit facility of $500 million, including a sub-limit of $80 million for letters of credit (letters of credit are 100% reserved against borrowing availability under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility) and (b) a term loan of $150 million. Advances under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility are limited by a borrowing base formula consisting of a percentage of eligible accounts receivable, plus a percentage of eligible rental equipment, less certain reserves and other amounts. As of March 31, 2006, $150 million was outstanding under the term loan and approximately $364.0 million was outstanding under the revolving credit facility. On a pro forma basis, as of March 31, 2006, $363.5 million of the borrowings under our Amended and Restated Credit Facility would have been outstanding following the 2006 Financing Transactions.

        The revolving credit facility may be used to issue standby or commercial letters of credit, and for general corporate and working capital needs.

Interest and Expenses

        Borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility initially bear interest at the borrower's option at the Eurodollar rate plus 2.0% or a base rate plus 0.50%. As of April 12, 2006, the interest rate in effect was 6.81%. The interest rate margin is subject to pricing adjustments based on excess availability and a ratio of total funded debt to EBITDA. The unused portion of the Amended and Restated Credit Facility is subject to a per annum fee equal to 0.30% if the average revolving credit facility usage is less than 50% or 0.25% if the average revolving credit facility usage is equal to or greater than 50%.

        In connection with the Amended and Restated Credit Facility, Williams Scotsman is required to pay administrative fees, commitment fees and certain expenses and to provide certain indemnities, all of which we believe are customary for financings of this type.

Maturity

        The Amended and Restated Credit Facility matures on April 12, 2011.

Security and Guarantees

        We and Williams Scotsman's existing, and future domestic subsidiaries and its Canadian subsidiary have unconditionally guaranteed the repayment of the Amended and Restated

89



Credit Facility, obligations under any hedging arrangement entered into with a lender or an affiliate of a lender and certain other obligations. The Amended and Restated Credit Facility and the guarantees are secured by substantially all of the tangible and intangible assets of the borrower and each of the guarantors under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility, with certain exceptions.

Covenants

        The amended and restated credit agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants customary for such financings. The amended and restated credit agreement includes covenants relating to limitations on, among other things:

    dividends on, and redemptions and repurchases of, capital stock;

    liens and sale-leaseback transactions;

    loans and investments;

    debt and hedging arrangements;

    mergers, acquisitions and asset sales;

    transactions with affiliates;

    capital expenditures; and

    changes in business activities conducted by us.

        On April 12, 2006, we amended the restrictive covenants to grant us greater flexibility to incur debt and make acquisitions.

Financial Covenants

        If Williams Scotsman does not meet certain excess availability requirements, it will be required to comply with a senior secured leverage ratio, a consolidated interest coverage ratio and a minimum utilization test, as described below. As of March 31, 2006, Williams Scotsman met the excess availability requirement and did not have to comply with the financial covenants.

    Williams Scotsman will not permit the senior secured leverage ratio for any "test period" ended on or prior to December 31, 2006 to be greater than 3.75 to 1.0, and for any test period ended after December 31, 2006 to be greater than 3.5 to 1.0.

    Williams Scotsman will not permit the consolidated interest coverage ratio for any test period ended on or prior to September 30, 2006 to be less than 1.70 to 1.0, and 2.00 to 1.0 thereafter.

    Williams Scotsman will not permit the utilization of its rental equipment for any period of thirteen consecutive months to be less than 73%.

        "Test Period" means each period of four consecutive fiscal quarters of Williams Scotsman (taken as one accounting period) ending on each of (i) the last day of the fiscal quarter of Williams Scotsman most recently ended prior to the date excess availability under the revolving credit facility is less than $75.0 million for three consecutive business days or is less than $70.0 million at any time and for which financial statements for Williams Scotsman and its consolidated subsidiaries have been delivered as required by the amended and restated credit agreement and (ii) the last day of each fiscal quarter of Williams Scotsman after the

90


fiscal quarter referred to in clause (i) ending prior to or during the period in which Williams Scotsman is required to comply with the financial covenants.

        Williams Scotsman International and its subsidiaries (excluding Williams Scotsman and its subsidiaries) will not be subject to many of the affirmative and negative covenants in the amended and restated credit agreement so long as Williams Scotsman International is a holding company and meets certain other conditions specified in the credit agreement.

Events of Default

        The amended and restated credit agreement contains events of default, including, but not limited to:

    nonpayment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts when due;

    violation of covenants;

    failure of any representation or warranty to be true in all material respects when made or deemed made;

    cross acceleration and cross default;

    change of control;

    bankruptcy events;

    material judgments; and

    actual or asserted invalidity of the guarantees or security documents.

        Some of these events of default allow for grace periods and materiality concepts. On April 12, 2006, the definition of change of control was amended to provide that, among other things, a change of control of the company will be triggered if (i) certain existing investor stockholders (the Cypress Stockholders, Scotsman Partners, Odyssey Investment Partners Fund, LP and certain related parties) hold less than 20% (compared with 25% prior to the amendment) of the economic and voting interest in our common stock at any time or (ii) if such existing investor stockholders hold less than 25% (compared with 35% prior to the amendment) of the economic and voting interest in our common stock and a third party or group holds greater economic or voting interest in our common stock than such investor stockholders.

10.0% Notes

        The 10.0% Notes were issued by Williams Scotsman in August 2003. The 10.0% Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior secured second lien basis by the following 100% owned subsidiaries of Williams Scotsman: Space Master International, Inc., Evergreen Mobile Company, Truck & Trailer Sales, Inc. and Williams Scotsman of Canada, Inc. Willscot Equipment LLC, also a 100% owned subsidiary of Williams Scotsman, has fully and unconditionally guaranteed the senior secured notes on a subordinated secured second lien basis. These 100% owned subsidiaries of Williams Scotsman act as joint and several guarantors of the 10.0% Notes. The 10.0% Notes are due August 15, 2008 with interest payable semi-annually on February 15 and August 15 of each year. On August 15, 2006, the 10.0% Notes will become redeemable at our option at a redemption price of 105.0% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest during the 12 month period beginning August 15, 2006 and 102.5% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest beginning August 15, 2007. In connection with the offering of the original notes and other related refinancing transactions, Williams Scotsman conducted a tender offer and consent solicitation,

91



whereby it offered to purchase all outstanding 10.0% Notes at a cash purchase price of 109.522% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest and the holders of the 10.0% Notes were asked to consent to a supplemental indenture which removed substantially all restrictive covenants relating to the 10.0% Notes. Williams Scotsman executed and delivered a supplemental indenture setting forth the amendments to the indenture governing the 10.0% Notes, which eliminated substantially all of the restrictive covenants of such indenture. On September 29, 2005, in connection with the tender offer for the 10.0% Notes, Williams Scotsman accepted for payment and purchased $148.2 million principal amount of the 10.0% Notes (representing approximately 98.80% of the $150.0 million of aggregate principal amount of 10.0% Notes originally issued). As of March 31, 2006, $1.8 million principal amount of the 10.0% Notes remained outstanding.

Procedures for Tendering Initial Notes

Proper Execution and Delivery of Letters of Transmittal

        To tender your initial notes in this exchange offer, you must use one of the three alternative procedures described below:

    (1)
    Regular delivery procedure: Complete, sign and date the letter of transmittal, or a facsimile of the letter of transmittal. Have the signatures on the letter of transmittal guaranteed if required by the letter of transmittal. Mail or otherwise deliver the letter of transmittal or the facsimile together with the certificates representing the initial notes being tendered and any other required documents to the exchange agent on or before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date.

    (2)
    Book-entry delivery procedure: Send a timely confirmation of a book-entry transfer of your initial notes, if this procedure is available, into the exchange agent's account at The Depository Trust Company in accordance with the procedures for book-entry transfer described under "—Book-Entry Delivery Procedure" below, on or before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date.

    (3)
    Guaranteed delivery procedure: If time will not permit you to complete your tender by using the procedures described in (1) or (2) above before the expiration date and this procedure is available, comply with the guaranteed delivery procedures described under "—Guaranteed Delivery Procedure" below.

        The method of delivery of the initial notes, the letter of transmittal and all other required documents is at your election and risk. Instead of delivery by mail, we recommend that you use an overnight or hand-delivery service. If you choose the mail, we recommend that you use registered mail, properly insured, with return receipt requested. In all cases, you should allow sufficient time to assure timely delivery. You should not send any letters of transmittal or initial notes to us. You must deliver all documents to the exchange agent at its address provided below. You may also request your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or nominee to tender your initial notes on your behalf.

        Only a holder of initial notes may tender initial notes in this exchange offer. A holder is any person in whose name initial notes are registered on our books or any other person who has obtained a properly completed bond power from the registered holder.

        If you are the beneficial owner of initial notes that are registered in the name of a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee and you wish to tender your initial notes, you must contact that registered holder promptly and instruct that registered holder to tender your initial notes on your behalf. If you wish to tender your initial notes on your own behalf, you must, before completing and executing the letter of transmittal and delivering your initial notes, either make appropriate arrangements to register the ownership of these initial notes in your name or obtain a properly completed bond power from the registered holder. The transfer of registered ownership may take considerable time.

        You must have any signatures on a letter of transmittal or a notice of withdrawal guaranteed by:

    (1)
    a member firm of a registered national securities exchange or of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.,

    (2)
    a commercial bank or trust company having an office or correspondent in the United States, or

94


    (3)
    an eligible guarantor institution within the meaning of Rule 17Ad-15 under the Exchange Act, unless the initial notes are tendered:

    (1)
    by a registered holder or by a participant in The Depository Trust Company whose name appears on a security position listing as the owner, who has not completed the box entitled "Special Issuance Instructions" or "Special Delivery Instructions" on the letter of transmittal and only if the exchange notes are being issued directly to this registered holder or deposited into this participant's account at The Depository Trust Company, or

    (2)
    for the account of a member firm of a registered national securities exchange or of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., a commercial bank or trust company having an office or correspondent in the United States or an eligible guarantor institution within the meaning of Rule 17Ad-15 under the Securities Exchange Act.

If the letter of transmittal or any bond powers are signed by:

    (1)
    the recordholder(s) of the initial notes tendered: the signature must correspond with the name(s) written on the face of the initial notes without alteration, enlargement or any change whatsoever.

    (2)
    a participant in The Depository Trust Company: the signature must correspond with the name as it appears on the security position listing as the holder of the initial notes.

    (3)
    a person other than the registered holder of any initial notes: these initial notes must be endorsed or accompanied by bond powers and a proxy that authorize this person to tender the initial notes on behalf of the registered holder, in satisfactory form to us as determined in our sole discretion, in each case, as the name of the registered holder or holders appears on the initial notes.

    (4)
    trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, officers of corporations or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity: these persons should so indicate when signing. Unless waived by us, evidence satisfactory to us of their authority to so act must also be submitted with the letter of transmittal.

To tender your initial notes in this exchange offer, you must make the following representations:

    (1)
    you are authorized to tender, sell, assign and transfer the initial notes tendered and to acquire exchange notes issuable upon the exchange of such tendered initial notes, and that we will acquire good and unencumbered title thereto, free and clear of all liens, restrictions, charges and encumbrances and not subject to any adverse claim when the same are accepted by us,

    (2)
    any exchange notes acquired by you pursuant to the exchange offer are being acquired in the ordinary course of business, whether or not you are the holder,

    (3)
    you or any other person who receives exchange notes, whether or not such person is the holder of the exchange notes, has an arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in a distribution of such exchange notes within the meaning of the Securities Act and is not participating in, and does not intend to participate in, the distribution of such exchange notes within the meaning of the Securities Act,

    (4)
    you or such other person who receives exchange notes, whether or not such person is the holder of the exchange notes, is not an "affiliate," as defined in Rule 405 of the

95


      Securities Act, of ours, or if you or such other person is an affiliate, you or such other person will comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act to the extent applicable,

    (5)
    if you are not a broker-dealer, you represent that you are not engaging in, and do not intend to engage in, a distribution of exchange notes, and

    (6)
    if you are a broker-dealer that will receive exchange notes for your own account in exchange for initial notes, you represent that the initial notes to be exchanged for the exchange notes were acquired by you as a result of market-making or other trading activities and acknowledge that you will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale, offer to resell or other transfer of such exchange notes.

        You must also warrant that the acceptance of any tendered initial notes by the issuers and the issuance of exchange notes in exchange therefor shall constitute performance in full by the issuers of its obligations under the registration rights agreement relating to the new notes.

        To effectively tender notes through The Depository Trust Company, the financial institution that is a participant in The Depository Trust Company will electronically transmit its acceptance through the Automatic Tender Offer Program. The Depository Trust Company will then edit and verify the acceptance and send an agent's message to the exchange agent for its acceptance. An agent's message is a message transmitted by The Depository Trust Company to the exchange agent stating that The Depository Trust Company has received an express acknowledgment from the participant in The Depository Trust Company tendering the notes that this participant has received and agrees to be bound by the terms of the letter of transmittal, and that we may enforce this agreement against this participant.

Book-Entry Delivery Procedure

        Any financial institution that is a participant in The Depository Trust Company's systems may make book-entry deliveries of initial notes by causing The Depository Trust Company to transfer these initial notes into the exchange agent's account at The Depository Trust Company in accordance with The Depository Trust Company's procedures for transfer. To effectively tender notes through The Depository Trust Company, the financial institution that is a participant in The Depository Trust Company will electronically transmit its acceptance through the Automatic Tender Offer Program. The Depository Trust Company will then edit and verify the acceptance and send an agent's message to the exchange agent for its acceptance. An agent's message is a message transmitted by The Depository Trust Company to the exchange agent stating that The Depository Trust Company has received an express acknowledgment from the participant in The Depository Trust Company tendering the notes that this participation has received and agrees to be bound by the terms of the letter of transmittal, and that we may enforce this agreement against this participant. The exchange agent will make a request to establish an account for the initial notes at The Depository Trust Company for purposes of the exchange offer within two business days after the date of this prospectus.

        A delivery of initial notes through a book-entry transfer into the exchange agent's account at The Depository Trust Company will only be effective if an agent's message or the letter of transmittal or a facsimile of the letter of transmittal with any required signature guarantees and any other required documents is transmitted to and received by the exchange agent at the address indicated below under "—Exchange Agent" on or before the expiration date unless the guaranteed delivery procedures described below are complied with. Delivery of documents to The Depository Trust Company does not constitute delivery to the exchange agent.

96



Guaranteed Delivery Procedure

        If you are a registered holder of initial notes and desire to tender your initial notes, and (1) these notes are not immediately available, (2) time will not permit your notes or other required documents to reach the exchange agent before the expiration date or (3) the procedures for book-entry transfer cannot be completed on a timely basis and an agent's message delivered, you may still tender in this exchange offer if:

    (1)
    you tender through a member firm of a registered national securities exchange or of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., a commercial bank or trust company having an office or correspondent in the United States, or an eligible guarantor institution within the meaning of Rule 17Ad-15 under the Exchange Act,

    (2)
    on or before the expiration date, the exchange agent receives a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal or facsimile of the letter of transmittal, and a notice of guaranteed delivery, substantially in the form provided by us, with your name and address as holder of the initial notes and the amount of notes tendered, stating that the tender is being made by that letter and notice and guaranteeing that within three New York Stock Exchange trading days after the expiration date the certificates for all the initial notes tendered, in proper form for transfer, or a book-entry confirmation with an agent's message, as the case may be, and any other documents required by the letter of transmittal will be deposited by the eligible institution with the exchange agent, and

    (3)
    the certificates for all your tendered initial notes in proper form for transfer or a book-entry confirmation as the case may be, and all other documents required by the letter of transmittal are received by the exchange agent within three New York Stock Exchange trading days after the expiration date.

Acceptance of Initial Notes for Exchange; Delivery of Exchange Notes

        Your tender of initial notes will constitute an agreement between you and us governed by the terms and conditions provided in this prospectus and in the related letter of transmittal.

        We will be deemed to have received your tender as of the date when your duly signed letter of transmittal accompanied by your initial notes tendered, or a timely confirmation of a book-entry transfer of these notes into the exchange agent's account at The Depository Trust Company with an agent's message, or a notice of guaranteed delivery from an eligible institution is received by the exchange agent.

        All questions as to the validity, form, eligibility, including time of receipt, acceptance and withdrawal of tenders will be determined by us in our sole discretion. Our determination will be final and binding.

        We reserve the absolute right to reject any and all initial notes not properly tendered or any initial notes which, if accepted, would, in our opinion or our counsel's opinion, be unlawful. We also reserve the absolute right to waive any conditions of this exchange offer or irregularities or defects in tender as to particular notes with the exception of conditions to this exchange offer relating to the obligations of broker-dealers, which we will not waive. If we waive a condition to this exchange offer, the waiver will be applied equally to all note holders. Our interpretation of the terms and conditions of this exchange offer, including the instructions in the letter of transmittal, will be final and binding on all parties. Unless waived, any defects or irregularities in connection with tenders of initial notes must be cured within such time as we shall determine. We, the exchange agent or any other person will be under no duty to give notification of defects or irregularities with respect to tenders of initial notes.

97



We and the exchange agent or any other person will incur no liability for any failure to give notification of these defects or irregularities. Tenders of initial notes will not be deemed to have been made until such irregularities have been cured or waived. The exchange agent will return without cost to their holders any initial notes that are not properly tendered and as to which the defects or irregularities have not been cured or waived promptly following the expiration date.

        If all the conditions to the exchange offer are satisfied or waived on the expiration date, we will accept all initial notes properly tendered and will issue the exchange notes promptly thereafter. Please refer to the section of this prospectus entitled "—Conditions to the Exchange Offer" below. For purposes of this exchange offer, initial notes will be deemed to have been accepted as validly tendered for exchange when, as and if we give oral or written notice of acceptance to the exchange agent.

        We will issue the exchange notes in exchange for the initial notes tendered pursuant to a notice of guaranteed delivery by an eligible institution only against delivery to the exchange agent of the letter of transmittal, the tendered initial notes and any other required documents, or the receipt by the exchange agent of a timely confirmation of a book-entry transfer of initial notes into the exchange agent's account at The Depository Trust Company with an agent's message, in each case, in form satisfactory to us and the exchange agent.

        If any tendered initial notes are not accepted for any reason provided by the terms and conditions of this exchange offer or if initial notes are submitted for a greater principal amount than the holder desires to exchange, the unaccepted or non-exchanged initial notes will be returned without expense to the tendering holder, or, in the case of initial notes tendered by book-entry transfer procedures described above, will be credited to an account maintained with the book-entry transfer facility, promptly after withdrawal, rejection of tender or the expiration or termination of the exchange offer.

        By tendering into this exchange offer, you will irrevocably appoint our designees as your attorney-in-fact and proxy with full power of substitution and resubstitution to the full extent of your rights on the notes tendered. This proxy will be considered coupled with an interest in the tendered notes. This appointment will be effective only when, and to the extent that we accept your initial notes in this exchange offer. All prior proxies on these notes will then be revoked and you will not be entitled to give any subsequent proxy. Any proxy that you may give subsequently will not be deemed effective. Our designees will be empowered to exercise all voting and other rights of the holders as they may deem proper at any meeting of note holders or otherwise. The initial notes will be validly tendered only if we are able to exercise full voting rights on the notes, including voting at any meeting of the note holders, and full rights to consent to any action taken by the note holders.

Withdrawal of Tenders

        Except as otherwise provided in this prospectus, you may withdraw tenders of initial notes at any time before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date.

        For a withdrawal to be effective, you must send a written or facsimile transmission notice of withdrawal to the exchange agent before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date at the address provided below under "—Exchange Agent" and before acceptance of your tendered notes for exchange by us.

        Any notice of withdrawal must:

    (1)
    specify the name of the person having tendered the initial notes to be withdrawn,

98


    (2)
    identify the notes to be withdrawn, including, if applicable, the registration number or numbers and total principal amount of these notes,

    (3)
    be signed by the person having tendered the initial notes to be withdrawn in the same manner as the original signature on the letter of transmittal by which these notes were tendered, including any required signature guarantees, or be accompanied by documents of transfer sufficient to permit the trustee for the initial notes to register the transfer of these notes into the name of the person having made the original tender and withdrawing the tender,

    (4)
    specify the name in which any of these initial notes are to be registered, if this name is different from that of the person having tendered the initial notes to be withdrawn, and

    (5)
    if applicable because the initial notes have been tendered through the book-entry procedure, specify the name and number of the participant's account at The Depository Trust Company to be credited, if different than that of the person having tendered the initial notes to be withdrawn.

        We will determine all questions as to the validity, form and eligibility, including time of receipt, of all notices of withdrawal and our determination will be final and binding on all parties. Initial notes that are withdrawn will be deemed not to have been validly tendered for exchange in this exchange offer.

        The exchange agent will return without cost to their holders all initial notes that have been tendered for exchange and are not exchanged for any reason, promptly after withdrawal, rejection of tender or expiration or termination of this exchange offer.

        You may retender properly withdrawn initial notes in this exchange offer by following one of the procedures described under "—Procedures for Tendering Initial Notes" above at any time on or before the expiration date.

Conditions to the Exchange Offer

We will complete this exchange offer only if:

    (1)
    there is no change in the laws and regulations which would reasonably be expected to impair our ability to proceed with this exchange offer,

    (2)
    there is no change in the current interpretation of the staff of the Commission which permits resales of the exchange notes,

    (3)
    there is no stop order issued by the Commission or any state securities authority suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement which includes this prospectus or the qualification of the indenture for our exchange notes under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 and there are no proceedings initiated or, to our knowledge, threatened for that purpose,

    (4)
    there is no action or proceeding instituted or threatened in any court or before any governmental agency or body that would reasonably be expected to prohibit, prevent or otherwise impair our ability to proceed with this exchange offer, and

    (5)
    we obtain all governmental approvals that we deem in our sole discretion necessary to complete this exchange offer.

        These conditions are for our sole benefit. We may assert any one of these conditions regardless of the circumstances giving rise to it and may also waive any one of them, in

99



whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, if we determine in our reasonable discretion that it has not been satisfied, subject to applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all conditions to the exchange offer must be satisfied or waived before the expiration of this exchange offer. If we waive a condition to this exchange offer, the waiver will be applied equally to all note holders. We will not be deemed to have waived our rights to assert or waive these conditions if we fail at any time to exercise any of them. Each of these rights will be deemed an ongoing right which we may assert at any time and from time to time.

        If we determine that we may terminate this exchange offer because any of these conditions is not satisfied, we may:

    (1)
    refuse to accept and return to their holders any initial notes that have been tendered,

    (2)
    extend the exchange offer and retain all initial notes tendered before the expiration date, subject to the rights of the holders of these notes to withdraw their tenders, or

    waive any condition that has not been satisfied and accept all properly tendered notes that have not been withdrawn or otherwise amend the terms of this exchange offer in any respect as provided under the section in this prospectus entitled "—Expiration Date; Extensions; Amendments; Termination."

Accounting Treatment

        We will record the exchange notes at the same carrying value as the initial notes as reflected in our accounting records on the date of the exchange. Accordingly, we will not recognize any gain or loss for accounting purposes. We will amortize the costs of the exchange offer and the unamortized expenses related to the issuance of the exchange notes over the term of the exchange notes.

Fees and Expenses

        We will bear the expenses of soliciting tenders in this exchange offer, including fees and expenses of the exchange agent and trustee and accounting, legal, printing and related fees and expenses.

        We will not make any payments to brokers, dealers or other persons soliciting acceptances of this exchange offer. However, we will pay the exchange agent reasonable and customary fees for its services and will reimburse the exchange agent for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with this exchange offer. We will also pay brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for forwarding copies of the prospectus, letters of transmittal and related documents to the beneficial owners of the initial notes and for handling or forwarding tenders for exchange to their customers.

        We will pay all transfer taxes, if any, applicable to the exchange of initial notes in accordance with this exchange offer. However, tendering holders will pay the amount of any transfer taxes, whether imposed on the registered holder or any other persons, if:

    (1)
    certificates representing exchange notes or initial notes for principal amounts not tendered or accepted for exchange are to be delivered to, or are to be registered or issued in the name of, any person other than the registered holder of the notes tendered,

    (2)
    tendered initial notes are registered in the name of any person other than the person signing the letter of transmittal, or

    (3)
    a transfer tax is payable for any reason other than the exchange of the initial notes in this exchange offer.

        If you do not submit satisfactory evidence of the payment of any of these taxes or of any exemption from this payment with the letter of transmittal, we will bill you directly the amount of these transfer taxes.

Your Failure to Participate in the Exchange Offer Will Have Adverse Consequences

        The initial notes were not registered under the Securities Act or under the securities laws of any state and you may not resell them, offer them for resale or otherwise transfer them unless they are subsequently registered or resold under an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. If you do not exchange your initial notes for exchange notes in accordance with this exchange offer, or if you do not properly tender your initial notes in this exchange offer, you will not be able to resell, offer to resell or otherwise transfer the initial notes unless they are registered under the Securities Act

101



or unless you resell them, offer to resell or otherwise transfer them under an exemption from the registration requirements of, or in a transaction not subject to, the Securities Act.

        In addition, except as set forth in this paragraph, you will not be able to obligate us to register the new notes under the Securities Act. You will not be able to require us to register the new notes under the Securities Act unless:

    (1)
    there is a violation of applicable law or interpretations of the staff of the Commission and, as a result, we are not permitted to effect an exchange offer;

    (2)
    the exchange offer is not consummated within 190 days of the date of the issuance of the new notes;

    (3)
    the initial purchasers so request with respect to notes that are not eligible to be exchanged for exchange notes in the exchange offer; or

    (4)
    you (other than an exchanging agent) are not eligible to participate in the exchange offer or do not receive freely tradable exchange notes in the exchange offer (and you notify us within 30 days of the consummation of the exchange offer).

in which case the registration rights agreement in connection with the issuance of the new notes requires us to file a registration statement for a continuous offer in accordance with Rule 415 under the Securities Act for the benefit of the holders of the new notes described in this sentence. We do not currently anticipate that we will register under the Securities Act any initial notes that remain outstanding after completion of the exchange offer.

        We are not contractually obligated to include in this exchange offer the outstanding original notes. The holders of the outstanding original notes are not entitled to the rights described in the preceding paragraph.

Delivery of Prospectus

        Each broker-dealer that receives exchange notes for its own account in exchange for initial notes, where such initial notes were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such exchange notes. See "Plan of Distribution".

DESCRIPTION OF NOTES

General

        The initial notes and the registered notes were issued and the exchange notes will be issued under an indenture, dated as of September 29, 2005, among Williams Scotsman, Inc., as issuer, the Guarantors (as defined below), the Subordinated Guarantor (as defined below) and The Bank of New York, as trustee. The terms of the notes include those stated in the indenture and those made part of the indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939. In this description, the word "Scotsman" refers only to Williams Scotsman, Inc. and not to any of its subsidiaries.

        The following description is a summary of the material provisions of the indenture. It does not restate the agreement in its entirety. We urge you to read the indenture because it, and not this description, define your rights as Holders of the notes. Certain defined terms used in this description but not defined below under the caption "—Certain Definitions" have the meanings assigned to them in the indenture.

        Principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the notes will be payable, and the notes may be exchanged or transferred, at the office or agency of Scotsman in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York.

        The exchange notes will be issued only in fully registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of notes, but Scotsman may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or other similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

        The registered Holder of a note will be treated as the owner of it for all purposes. Only registered Holders will have rights under the indenture.

Principal, Maturity and Interest

        The original notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to $350 million were issued on September 29, 2005. New notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to $100.0 million were issued on April 18, 2006. Registered notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to $349,675,000 were issued on December 15, 2005. An aggregate principal amount of the exchange notes up to $100,325,000 are being issued in this offering. The notes will mature on October 1, 2015. The exchange notes will bear interest at the rate of 8.50% per annum, which will accrue from April 1, 2006 and be payable semi-annually to Holders of record at the close of business on the March 15 and September 15 immediately preceding the interest payment date on April 1 and October 1 of each year, commencing October 1, 2006. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

        Additional notes in unlimited amounts may be issued in one or more series from time to time, subject to the limitations set forth under the covenants described under "—Certain Covenants—Limitation on Indebtedness."

        The notes will not be entitled to the benefit of any mandatory sinking fund.

Optional Redemption

        Except as set forth in the following paragraph, the notes will not be redeemable at the option of Scotsman prior to October 1, 2010. On and after such date, the notes will be redeemable, at Scotsman's option, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' prior notice mailed by first-class mail to each Holder's

103



registered address, at the following redemption prices (expressed in percentages of the principal amount thereof), plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), if redeemed during the 12-month period commencing on October 1 of the years set forth below:

Period

  Redemption Price
 
2010   104.250 %
2011   102.833 %
2012   101.417 %
2013 and thereafter   100.000 %

        In addition, at any time and from time to time on or prior to October 1, 2008, Scotsman may, at its option, redeem in the aggregate up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes issued under the indenture (including any additional notes, if applicable, but excluding Exchange Notes issued in exchange for notes) with the proceeds of one or more Qualified Equity Offerings subsequent to the Issue Date (provided that if the Qualified Equity Offering is a sale of any Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Capital Stock) of Williams Scotsman International or another issuer (other than Scotsman), a portion of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof equal to the amount required to redeem any such notes is contributed to the equity capital of Scotsman), at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) of 108.50% plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date); provided, however, that (i) at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes issued under the indenture (including any additional notes, if applicable, but excluding Exchange Notes issued in exchange for the notes) must be outstanding after each such redemption and (ii) such redemption is made not more than 90 days after the consummation of such Qualified Equity Offering.

    Optional Redemption Upon Change of Control

        At any time on or prior to October 1, 2010, the notes may also be redeemed as a whole but not in part at the option of Scotsman upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' prior notice (exercisable no later than 30 days after such Change of Control) mailed by first-class mail to each Holder's registered address, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date). Scotsman may provide in such notice that payment of such price and performance of Scotsman's obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another Person. Any such notice may be given prior to the occurrence of the related Change of Control, and the redemption described therein may be conditioned upon the occurrence of the related Change of Control.

        "Applicable Premium" means, with respect to a note at any redemption date, the greater of (a) 1.0% of the principal amount of such note and (b) the excess of (A) the present value at such time of (1) the redemption price of such note at October 1, 2010, plus (2) all required interest payments due on such note through October 1, 2010, computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points, over (B) the principal amount of such note.

        "Treasury Rate" means the yield to maturity at the time of computation of United States Treasury securities with a constant maturity (as compiled and published in the most recent Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519) which has become publicly available at least

104



two business days prior to the Redemption Date (or, if such Statistical Release is no longer published, any publicly available source or similar market data)) most nearly equal to the period from the redemption date to October 1, 2010; provided, however, that if the period from the redemption date to October 1, 2010 is not equal to the constant maturity of a United States Treasury security for which a weekly average yield is given, the Treasury Rate shall be obtained by linear interpolation (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth of a year) from the weekly average yields of United States Treasury securities for which, such yields are given, except that if the period from the redemption date to October 1, 2010 is less than one year, the weekly average yield on actually traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one year shall be used.

        In the case of any partial redemption, selection of the notes for redemption will be made by the trustee on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such other method as the trustee in its sole discretion shall deem to be fair and appropriate, although no note of $1,000 in principal amount or less shall be redeemed in part; provided that in the event of a redemption made pursuant to the second paragraph of "—Optional Redemption," selection of the notes or the portion thereof to be redeemed shall be made by the trustee only on a pro rata basis or on nearly a pro rata basis as is practicable (subject to DTC procedures), unless such method is otherwise prohibited. If any note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption relating to such note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original note. Notes that are redeemed by Scotsman or that are purchased by Scotsman pursuant to an "Exceeds Proceeds Offer" as described under "—Certain Covenants—Limitation on Sales of Assets and Subsidiary Stock" and pursuant to a Change of Control Offer as described under "—Certain Covenants—Change of Control" or that are otherwise acquired by Scotsman will be surrendered to the trustee for cancellation.

Mandatory Redemption or Offer to Purchase

        Except as set forth below under "—Certain Covenants—Limitation on Sales of Assets and Subsidiary Stock" and "—Certain Covenants—Change of Control," Scotsman will not be required to make any mandatory redemption or repurchase with respect to the notes.

Ranking

        The notes will be senior unsecured obligations of Scotsman, ranking equally in right of payment with all other senior unsecured obligations of Scotsman, including obligations under other unsubordinated unsecured Indebtedness of Scotsman.

        Each Guarantee will be a senior unsecured obligation of such Guarantor, ranking equally in right of payment with all other senior unsecured obligations of such Guarantor, including obligations under other unsubordinated unsecured Indebtedness of such Guarantor.

        The Subordinated Guarantee will be a subordinated obligation of the Subordinated Guarantor and will be subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future Subordinated Guarantor Senior Indebtedness of the Subordinated Guarantor (including the Subordinated Guarantor's guarantee on a senior secured basis of all obligations of Scotsman under or in respect of the Credit Agreement (and refinancings thereof)), equally in right of payment with all Indebtedness of the Subordinated Guarantor that does not constitute Subordinated Guarantor Senior Indebtedness and senior in right of payment to all obligations of the Subordinated Guarantor that are expressly subordinated to the Subordinated Guarantee.

105



        As of March 31, 2006, approximately 59.6% of the net book value of Scotsman's fleet was in the Subordinated Guarantor. Because the guarantee of the notes by the Subordinated Guarantor is subordinated, the Subordinated Guarantor's obligations with respect to its Subordinated Guarantee of the notes are subordinated in right of payment to all obligations of the Subordinated Guarantor that constitute Subordinated Guarantor Senior Indebtedness (including the Subordinated Guarantor's guarantee of the Credit Agreement and any refinancing of the Credit Agreement). See "Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Exchange Notes—Willscot's guarantee of the exchange notes is subordinated to its existing and future senior obligations."

        As of March 31, 2006, after giving effect to the 2006 Financing Transactions, Scotsman, the Guarantors and the Subordinated Guarantor would have had approximately $821.0 million of Indebtedness outstanding, including approximately $363.5 million of Indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Agreement. All of the outstanding Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement is guaranteed by the Guarantors and the Subordinated Guarantor and secured by Liens on the assets of Scotsman and its Restricted Subsidiaries.

        Although the indenture contains limitations on the amount of additional Indebtedness that Scotsman, the Guarantors and the Subordinated Guarantor may incur, under certain circumstances the amount of such Indebtedness could be substantial. Moreover, the indenture does not impose any limitation on the incurrence by Scotsman or its subsidiaries of liabilities that are not considered Indebtedness under the indenture. The notes, the Guarantees and the Subordinated Guarantee will be effectively subordinated to all secured obligations of Scotsman, the Guarantors and the Subordinated Guarantor (including those under the Credit Agreement), to the extent of the value of the security. In addition, the notes, the Guarantees and the Subordinated Guarantee will be structurally subordinated to any obligations of Subsidiaries of Scotsman that are not Guarantors. As of the Issue Date, Scotsman's Mexican and European Subsidiaries will be Unrestricted Subsidiaries and will not be Subsidiary Guarantors. As of March 31, 2006, approximately 0.8% of the net book value of Scotsman's fleet was in Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors. See "—Certain Covenants—Limitation on Indebtedness."

Guarantees of the Notes

The indenture provides that each Guarantor will unconditionally guarantee on a senior basis jointly and severally to each Holder, all of Scotsman's obligations under the notes, including its obligations to pay principal, premium, if any, and interest with respect to the notes. The obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor are limited to the maximum amount which, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Subsidiary Guarantor under its Guarantee or pursuant to its contribution obligations under the indenture, will result in the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under the applicable Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under federal or state law. Each Subsidiary Guarantor that makes a payment or distribution under a Guarantee shall be entitled to a contribution from each other Subsidiary Guarantor in an amount pro rata, based on the net assets of each Subsidiary Guarantor determined in accordance with GAAP. Except as provided in "—Certain Covenants" below, Scotsman is not restricted from selling or otherwise disposing of any of the Subsidiary Guarantors. The Guarantors have jointly and severally guaranteed all obligations of Scotsman under the Credit Agreement, and each Guarantor has granted a security interest in all or substantially all of its assets to secure its respective guarantee of the obligations of Scotsman under the Credit Agreement.

106


        The Guarantors will include Williams Scotsman International and any Restricted Subsidiary of Scotsman, whether formed or acquired after the Issue Date, that guarantees any obligation in respect of any Credit Facility (other than any Foreign Subsidiary that only guarantees Indebtedness of another Foreign Subsidiary); provided, further, that if any Guarantor is released from its guarantee of all outstanding Indebtedness under all Credit Facilities, such Guarantor shall be automatically released from its obligations as Guarantor and, from and after such date, such Guarantor shall cease to constitute a Guarantor; provided, further, that the Subordinated Guarantor shall not be a Guarantor except to the extent permitted below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Subsidiary that is a Securitization Subsidiary that does not guarantee any indebtedness under any Credit Facility (other than in connection with the Permitted Units Financing) shall not be required to become a Guarantor. At the time of the offering of the notes, our Subsidiaries Space Master International, Inc., Evergreen Mobile Company, Truck & Trailer Sales, Inc. and Williams Scotsman of Canada, Inc. will be Subsidiary Guarantors. As of the issue date of the notes, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Subordinated Guarantor constitute all of our domestic and Canadian Subsidiaries. If consented to by the requisite holders of the then outstanding Subordinated Guarantor Senior Indebtedness, the Subordinated Guarantor may notify the Trustee and Noteholders in writing that it irrevocably elects to become a Guarantor. In such case, the subordination provisions with respect to the Subordinated Guarantee shall cease to apply and the guarantee of the Subordinated Guarantee shall be amended to have terms and conditions identical to those of a Guarantee.

        The indenture provides that if (1) the notes are defeased in accordance with the terms of the indenture or (2) the conditions set forth under "—Satisfaction and Discharge" are satisfied, then each Guarantor shall automatically be released and discharged of its Guarantee Obligations in respect of the indenture and the notes. In addition, if (1) there is a sale or other disposition of the Capital Stock of a Subsidiary Guarantor (or other disposition transaction) which is otherwise permitted by the indenture that results in such Subsidiary Guarantor ceasing to be a Restricted Subsidiary, (2) Scotsman designates any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Subsidiary Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the applicable provisions of the indenture or (3) all or substantially all of the assets of any Subsidiary Guarantor or all of the Capital Stock of any Subsidiary Guarantor is sold (including by stock sale or issuance, by way of merger or consolidation or similar transaction or otherwise) by Scotsman in a transaction constituting an Asset Disposition, and if, to the extent applicable, (x) the Net Available Cash from such Asset Disposition is used in accordance with the covenant described under "—Certain Covenants—Limitation on Sales of Assets and Subsidiary Stock" or (y) Scotsman delivers to the Trustee an Officers Certificate to the effect that the Net Available Cash from such Asset Disposition shall be used in accordance with the covenant described under "—Certain Covenants—Limitations on Sales of Assets and Subsidiary Stock" and within the time limits specified by such covenant, then such Subsidiary Guarantor or the person acquiring such assets (in the event of a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor or merger, consolidation or similar transaction involving such Subsidiary Guarantor) shall be released and discharged of its Guarantee obligations automatically in respect of the indenture and the notes issued thereunder (including, without limitation, the provisions applicable to Guarantors described in "—Certain Covenants—Merger and Consolidation").

Subordinated Guarantee of the Notes

        The indenture provides that the Subordinated Guarantor will unconditionally guarantee to each Holder, subject to the subordination provisions described below, the full and prompt performance of Scotsman's obligations under the indenture and the notes, including the

107



payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the notes. The obligations of the Subordinated Guarantor are limited to the maximum amount (after giving effect to its guarantee of the Credit Agreement) which will result in the obligations of the Subordinated Guarantor under the Subordinated Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under federal or state law. The Subordinated Guarantor has also guaranteed on a senior basis all obligations of Scotsman under the Credit Agreement and has granted a security interest in all or substantially all of its assets to secure such guarantee of the obligations of Scotsman under the Credit Agreement. See "Description of Other Indebtedness—Amended and Restated Credit Facility."

        The indenture provides that if (1) the notes are defeased in accordance with the terms of the indenture, (2) the conditions set forth under "—Satisfaction and Discharge" are satisfied, (3) there is a sale or other disposition of the Capital Stock of the Subordinated Guarantor (or other disposition transaction) which is otherwise permitted by the indenture that results in the Subordinated Guarantor ceasing to be a Restricted Subsidiary or (4) the Subordinated Guarantor is merged or consolidated with or into, or transfers all or substantially all of its assets, to another person in accordance with "Certain Covenants—Merger and Consolidation," and if, to the extent applicable, (x) the Net Available Cash from such Asset Disposition is used in accordance with the covenant described under "—Certain Covenants—Limitation on Sales of Assets and Subsidiary Stock" or (y) Scotsman delivers to the Trustee an Officers Certificate to the effect that the Net Available Cash from such Asset Disposition shall be used in accordance with the covenant described under "—Certain Covenants—Limitations on Sales of Assets and Subsidiary Stock" and within the time limits specified by such covenant, then the Subordinated Guarantor or the person acquiring such assets (in the event of a transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Subordinated Guarantor or merger, consolidation or similar transaction involving the Subordinated Guarantor) shall be released and discharged of its Subordinated Guarantee obligations automatically in respect of the indenture and the notes issued thereunder (including, without limitation, the provisions applicable to the Subordinated Guarantor described in "—Certain Covenants—Merger and Consolidation").

        The payment by the Subordinated Guarantor of all obligations on the Subordinated Guarantee is subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full, in cash or cash equivalents, of all obligations on Subordinated Guarantor Senior Indebtedness. Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Subordinated Guarantor to creditors upon any liquidation, dissolution, winding up, reorganization, assignment for the benefit of creditors or marshaling of assets of the Subordinated Guarantor, or in a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding relating to the Subordinated Guarantor or its property, whether voluntary or involuntary, all obligations with respect to all Subordinated Guarantor Senior Indebtedness shall first be paid in full, in cash or cash equivalents in accordance with the terms thereof, before any payment or distribution of any kind of character, whether in cash, property, or securities is made on account of any obligations on the Subordinated Guarantee or for the acquisition of all or any part of the Subordinated Guarantee for cash or property or otherwise; and until all such obligations with respect to all Subordinated Guarantor Senior Indebtedness are paid in full, in cash or cash equivalents, any distribution to which the holders of the Subordinated Guarantee would be entitled but for the subordination provisions will be made to the holders of Subordinated Guarantor Senior Indebtedness as their interests may appear. If (1) any default occurs and is continuing in the payment when due, whether at maturity, upon any redemption, by declaration or otherwise, of any principal of, interest on, or other amounts due and owing on, any Subordinated Guarantor Senior Indebtedness or (2) any default occurs and is continuing with respect to any Subordinated Guarantor Senior Indebtedness resulting in the acceleration of the maturity of all or any portion of such Subordinated Guarantor Senior Indebtedness, no payment shall be

108



made by or on behalf of the Subordinated Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries or any other person on its or their behalf with respect to any obligations on the Subordinated Guarantee or to acquire all or any part of the obligations covered by the Subordinated Guarantee for cash or property or otherwise; provided, however, that, except to the extent provided in the second succeeding paragraph, the forgoing provisions shall not restrict Scotsman from making payments of principal, premium or interest on or with respect to the notes (including, without limitation, by redemption, repurchase or other acquisition). In addition, if any other event of default occurs and is continuing (or if such an event of default would occur upon, any payment with respect to the Subordinated Guarantee) with respect to the Subordinated Guarantor Senior Indebtedness, as such event of default is defined in the instrument creating or evidencing or guaranteeing such Subordinated Guarantor Senior Indebtedness permitting the holders of such Subordinated Guarantor Senior Indebtedness then outstanding, or their Representative, to accelerate the maturity thereof (or the obligations guaranteed thereby) and if the respective Representative for the Subordinated Guarantor Senior Indebtedness gives written notice of the event of default to the trustee (a "Default Notice"), then, unless and until the date, if any, on which all Subordinated Guarantor Senior Indebtedness to which such event of default relates is paid in full in cash or cash equivalents in accordance with the terms thereof or the Representative for the respective Subordinated Guarantor Senior Indebtedness gives notice that all events of default have been cured or waived or have ceased to exist or the Trustee receives written notice from the Representative for the respective Subordinated Guarantor Senior Indebtedness terminating the Blockage Period (as defined below), during the 179 days after the delivery of such Default Notice (the "Blockage Period"), none of the Subordinated Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries or any other person on its or their behalf shall (x) make any payment with respect to any obligations evidenced by the Subordinated Guarantee or (y) acquire all or any part of the obligations covered by the Subordinated Guarantee for cash or property or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event will a Blockage Period extend beyond 179 days from the date of the commencement thereof. Only one such Blockage Period may be commenced within any 360 consecutive days; provided, however, that, except to the extent provided in the second succeeding paragraph, the foregoing provisions shall not restrict Scotsman from making payments of principal, premium or interest on or with respect to the notes (including, without limitation, by redemption, repurchase or other acquisition). No event of default which existed or was continuing (it being acknowledged that (x) any action of Scotsman, the Subordinated Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries occurring subsequent to delivery of a Default Notice that would give rise to any event of default pursuant to any provision under which an event of default previously existed (or was continuing at the time of delivery of such Default Notice) and (y) any breach of a financial covenant for a period ended after the date of the commencement of a Blockage Period, in each case shall constitute a new event of default for this purpose) on the date of the commencement of any Blockage Period with respect to the Subordinated Guarantor Senior Indebtedness shall be, or be made, the basis for the commencement of a second Blockage Period by the Representative of the Subordinated Guarantor Senior Indebtedness whether or not within a period of 360 consecutive days, unless such event of default shall have been cured or waived for a period of not less than 90 consecutive days.

109


        By reason of such subordination, in the event of the insolvency of the Subordinated Guarantor, creditors of the Subordinated Guarantor who are not holders of Subordinated Guarantor Senior Indebtedness, including the holders of the Subordinated Guarantee, may recover less, ratably, than holders of Subordinated Guarantor Senior Indebtedness.

        The indenture provides that the Noteholders will acknowledge and agree, on behalf of themselves and all their successors and assigns as Noteholders, that the claims of the Noteholders against the Subordinated Guarantor, and against the assets from time to time held by the Subordinated Guarantor (including, without limitation, all units, leases and proceeds therefrom at any time transferred to the Subordinated Guarantor), are limited to the claims expressly provided pursuant to the Subordinated Guarantee. To induce the lenders pursuant to the Credit Agreement (and pursuant to any Hedging Obligations from time to time entered into) to make the extensions of credit to Scotsman, the Noteholders will agree, on their behalf and on behalf of all their successors and assigns, that in no event (whether pursuant to a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise), shall they (or any representative on their behalf including the Trustee) assert that the assets of the Subordinated Guarantor should be substantively consolidated or otherwise combined with the assets of Scotsman, Williams Scotsman International or any of their other Subsidiaries, or otherwise returned (whether under claims, of fraudulent conveyance or otherwise) to any such person. Furthermore, in the event that pursuant to any proceeding pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise the assets (or any of the assets) of the Subordinated Guarantor are substantively consolidated or otherwise combined in a similar fashion with the assets of Scotsman, Williams Scotsman International or any other of their Subsidiaries, or otherwise returned to any such person, then, as between the Noteholders (and their successors and assigns) and the lenders pursuant to the Credit Agreement (and pursuant to any Hedging Obligations from time to time entered into); the Noteholders agree that all distributions received by them (and their successors and assigns) to the extent attributable to the assets, or representing any proceeds from any disposition of assets, which were held by the Subordinated Guarantor prior to any such consolidation, combination or return of assets shall be treated by the Noteholders as if received pursuant to the Subordinated Guarantee and shall be fully subject to the subordination provisions with respect thereto in the indenture.

Certain Definitions

        "Additional Assets" means (1) any property or assets (other than Indebtedness and Capital Stock) in a Permitted Business; (2) Indebtedness of a Person engaged in a Permitted Business if such Indebtedness is acquired in connection with the acquisition of the Permitted Business (other than Indebtedness Incurred to provide all or a portion of the funds or credit support utilized to consummate the acquisition); (3) the Capital Stock of a Person that becomes a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of the acquisition of such Capital Stock by Scotsman or another Restricted Subsidiary or is merged or consolidated with or into Scotsman or any Restricted Subsidiary; or (4) Capital Stock constituting a minority interest in any Person that at such time is a Restricted Subsidiary, provided, however, that any such Restricted Subsidiary or other Person described in clauses (3) or (4) above is primarily engaged in a Permitted Business.

        "Adjusted Consolidated Assets" means at any time the total amount of assets of Scotsman and its consolidated Restricted Subsidiaries (less applicable depreciation, amortization and other valuation reserves), after deducting therefrom all current liabilities of Scotsman and its consolidated Restricted Subsidiaries (excluding intercompany items, the current portion of long-term debt and Indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Agreement), all as set forth on the consolidated balance sheet of Scotsman and its consolidated Restricted

        (d)   Notwithstanding paragraphs (a) and (b) above, Scotsman shall not Incur (1) any Indebtedness if such Indebtedness is expressly by its terms subordinate or junior in ranking in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of Scotsman, unless such Indebtedness is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the notes and the Exchange Notes to the same or greater extent as such Indebtedness is expressly by its terms subordinated in right of payment to such other Indebtedness or (2) any Secured Indebtedness (other than Permitted Secured Indebtedness) unless contemporaneously with such Incurrence effective provision is made to secure the notes equally and ratably with such Secured Indebtedness for so long as such Secured Indebtedness is secured by a Lien.

        (e)   Notwithstanding paragraphs (a) and (b) above, a Subsidiary Guarantor shall not Incur (1) any Indebtedness if such Indebtedness is expressly by its terms subordinate or junior in ranking in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor, unless such Indebtedness is expressly subordinated in right of payment to such Subsidiary Guarantor's Guarantee of the notes and the Exchange Notes to the same or greater extent as such Indebtedness is expressly by its terms subordinated in right of payment to such other Indebtedness or (2) any Secured Indebtedness (other than Permitted Secured Indebtedness) unless contemporaneously with such Incurrence effective provision is made to secure such Subsidiary Guarantor's Guarantee of the notes equally and ratably with such Secured Indebtedness for so long as such Secured Indebtedness is secured by a Lien.

        (f)    Notwithstanding paragraphs (a) and (b) above, the Subordinated Guarantor shall not incur (1) any Indebtedness if such Indebtedness is expressly by its terms subordinate or junior in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Subordinated Guarantor and senior in right of payment to the Subordinated Guarantee; or (2) any Indebtedness other than

133


Subordinated Guarantor Senior Indebtedness and Indebtedness permitted to be Incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) above.

        For the avoidance of doubt, for the purposes of clause (1) of each of the three preceding paragraphs, no Indebtedness of Scotsman, any Subsidiary Guarantor or the Subordinated Guarantor within the meaning of clause (1) of each of the three preceding paragraphs shall be deemed to be expressly by its terms subordinate or junior in ranking or in right of payment in any respect to any other Indebtedness of Scotsman, such Guarantor or the Subordinated Guarantor, as the case may be, solely because such Indebtedness is unsecured or is secured by a junior priority Lien or by virtue of the fact that the holders of such Indebtedness (or any agent, trustee or other representative therefor) have entered into intercreditor agreements or other arrangements giving one or more holders thereof priority over the other holders thereof in the collateral securing such Indebtedness.

        Liens.    The indenture provides that neither Scotsman nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may directly or indirectly create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on any asset of Scotsman or any Restricted Subsidiary whether now owned or hereafter acquired, or on any income or profits therefrom or assign or otherwise convey any right to receive income or profits therefrom except, in each case, Permitted Liens.

        Limitation on Restricted Payments.    (a) Scotsman shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary, directly or indirectly, to, make a Restricted Payment if, at the time Scotsman or such Restricted Subsidiary makes such Restricted Payment or immediately after giving effect thereto, (1) a Default shall have occurred and be continuing (or would result therefrom); (2) Scotsman is not able to Incur an additional $1.00 of Indebtedness pursuant to paragraph (a) of the covenant described under "—Limitation on Indebtedness"; or (3) the aggregate amount of such Restricted Payment and all other Restricted Payments since the Issue Date would exceed the sum of

            (1)   any Restricted Payment made by exchange for, or out of the proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale of, or capital contribution in respect of, Capital Stock of Scotsman (other than Disqualified Stock and other than Capital Stock issued or sold to a Subsidiary of Scotsman or an employee stock ownership plan or to a trust established by Scotsman or any of its Subsidiaries for the benefit of its employees); provided, however, that (A) each such Restricted Payment shall be excluded in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments made pursuant to clause (a) of this "Limitation on Restricted Payments" covenant and (B) if applicable, the Net Cash Proceeds of each such sale of Capital Stock or capital contribution in respect of Capital Stock shall be excluded from the calculation of amounts under clause (3)(B) of paragraph (a) above;

135



    of Restricted Payments made pursuant to clause (a) of this "Limitation on Restricted Payments" covenant;

            (16) any encumbrance or restriction pursuant to an agreement effecting a Refinancing of Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to an agreement referred to in clauses (1) to (15) above, to the extent applicable; provided, however, that the encumbrances and restrictions with respect to such Restricted Subsidiary contained in any such refinancing agreement or amendment are no more restrictive, taken as a whole, than the encumbrances and restrictions with respect to such Restricted Subsidiary contained in such agreements.

        Limitation on Sales of Assets and Subsidiary Stock.    (a) In the event and to the extent that the Net Available Cash received by Scotsman or any Restricted Subsidiary from one or more Asset Dispositions occurring on or after the Issue Date in any period of 12 consecutive months exceeds the greater of $40 million or 10% of Adjusted Consolidated Assets as of the beginning of such 12-month period, then Scotsman shall (1) no later than 360 days after the date such Net Available Cash so received exceeds such $40 million or 10% of Adjusted Consolidated Assets (A) apply an amount equal to such excess Net Available Cash to repay any Applicable Indebtedness (and, in the case of repayment of any such Applicable Indebtedness under any revolving credit facility or arrangement, effect a permanent reduction in the availability thereunder, whether or not such reduction in availability is required, owing to a Person other than Williams Scotsman International, Scotsman or any Subsidiary of either of them, or (B) invest or commit to invest an equal amount, or the amount not so applied pursuant to clause (A), in Additional Assets; provided, however that in the case of any commitment to invest, such investment must be made within six months thereafter, and any amount not so invested shall be treated as Excess Proceeds (as defined below); and (2) apply such excess Net Available Cash (to the extent not applied pursuant to clause (1)) as provided in the following paragraphs of the covenant described hereunder. The amount of such excess Net Available Cash required to be applied during the applicable period and not applied pursuant to clause (1) of this paragraph by the end of such period shall constitute "Excess Proceeds." Pending the final application of any Net Available Cash, Scotsman may temporarily

139


reduce Applicable Indebtedness or otherwise temporarily invest the Net Available Cash in any manner that is not prohibited by the indenture.

        If, as of the first day of any calendar month, the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds not theretofore subject to an Excess Proceeds Offer (as defined below) totals at least $20 million, Scotsman must, not later than the fifteenth Business Day of such month, make an offer (an "Excess Proceeds Offer") to purchase from the Holders on a pro rata basis an aggregate principal amount of notes equal to the Excess Proceeds (rounded down to the nearest multiple of $1,000) on such date, at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of such notes, plus, in each case, accrued interest, (if any) to the date of purchase (the "Excess Proceeds Payment"); provided that if Scotsman so elects (or is required to pursuant to the terms of any Pari Passu Indebtedness), such Excess Proceeds Offer may be made ratably to purchase the notes and such Pari Passu Indebtedness. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Excess Proceeds Offer, Scotsman may use those proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by the indenture. Upon completion of each Excess Proceeds Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset to zero.

        Scotsman will comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations thereunder in the event that such Excess Proceeds are received by Scotsman under the covenant described hereunder and Scotsman is required to repurchase notes as described above. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of the covenant described hereunder, Scotsman shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the covenant described hereunder by virtue thereof.

        (b)   In the event of the transfer of substantially all (but not all) the property and assets of Scotsman as an entirety to a Person in a transaction permitted by the covenant described under "—Merger and Consolidation," the Successor Issuer (as defined therein) shall be deemed to have sold the properties and assets of Scotsman not so transferred for purposes of the covenant described hereunder, and shall comply with the provisions of the covenant described hereunder with respect to such deemed sale as if it were an Asset Disposition, and the Successor Company shall be deemed to have received Net Available Cash in an amount equal to the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors) of the properties and assets not so transferred or sold.

        Limitation on Affiliate Transactions.    (a) Scotsman shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, enter into or permit to exist any transaction (including the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any property, employee compensation arrangements or the rendering of any service) with any Affiliate of Scotsman (an "Affiliate Transaction") unless the terms thereof (1) are no less favorable to Scotsman or such Restricted Subsidiary than those that could be obtained at the time of such transaction in arm's-length dealings with a Person who is not such an Affiliate, (2) if such Affiliate Transaction involves an amount in excess of $5.0 million, have been approved by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors having no personal stake in such Affiliate Transaction and (3) if such Affiliate Transaction involves an amount in excess of $17.5 million, have been determined by a nationally recognized accounting, appraisal, valuation or investment banking firm (an "Independent Financial Advisor") to be fair, from a financial standpoint, to Scotsman and its Restricted Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding clause (2) above, in the event that there are no members of the Board of Directors not having a personal stake in any Affiliate Transaction, such Affiliate Transaction shall be permitted to exist so long as an Independent Financial Advisor has determined the terms of such Affiliate Transaction to be fair, from a financial standpoint, to Scotsman and its Restricted Subsidiaries.

140



        (b)   The provisions of the foregoing paragraph (a) shall not prohibit (1) any Restricted Payment permitted to be made pursuant to the covenant described under "—Limitation on Restricted Payments" or any Permitted Investment, (2) any issuance of securities, or other payments, benefits, awards or grants in cash, securities or otherwise, pursuant to, or the funding of, employment arrangements, stock options and stock ownership plans approved by the Board of Directors, (3) the grant of stock options or similar rights to employees and directors of Scotsman pursuant to plans approved by the Board of Directors and the entering into of agreements relating thereto, (4) loans or advances to employees in the ordinary course of business in accordance with the past practices of Scotsman or its Restricted Subsidiaries, but in any event not to exceed $2.5 million in the aggregate outstanding at any one time, (5) the payment of reasonable fees to directors of Scotsman and its Restricted Subsidiaries who are not employees of Scotsman or its Restricted Subsidiaries, (6) any Tax Sharing Agreement, (7) indemnification agreements with, and the payment of fees and indemnities to, directors, officers and employees of Scotsman and its Restricted Subsidiaries, in each case in the ordinary course of business, (8) any employment, deferred compensation, consulting, noncompetition, confidentiality or similar agreement entered into by Scotsman and its Restricted Subsidiaries with its employees or directors in the ordinary course of business, (9) payments by Scotsman or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to the Permitted Holders (described in clause (1) of such definition) and their Affiliates made pursuant to any financial advisory, financing, underwriting or placement agreement, or in respect of other investment banking activities, in each case as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith, (10) any Affiliate Transaction between Scotsman and a Wholly Owned Subsidiary or between Wholly Owned Subsidiaries, (11) any Affiliate Transaction between Scotsman and a Restricted Subsidiary or between Restricted Subsidiaries, (12) the pledge of any Capital Stock of Unrestricted Subsidiaries to support the Indebtedness thereof, (13) sales or issuances of Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Capital Stock) to Affiliates of Scotsman (or any transaction where the only consideration paid is such Capital Stock), (14) transactions in connection with a Permitted Units Financing (as to which the Board approval requirements, in the definition of Permitted Units Financing will apply), (15) transactions and payments contemplated by any agreement in effect on the date of the indenture or any amendment thereto or any replacement agreement therefor, so long as any such amendment or replacement agreement, taken as a whole, is not more disadvantageous to Scotsman or such Restricted Subsidiary as the original agreement as in effect on the date of the indenture, (16) entering into an agreement that provides registration rights to the shareholders of Scotsman, Williams Scotsman International or amending any such agreement with such shareholders, as well as the performance of such agreements, (17) any transaction with a joint venture or similar entity which would constitute an Affiliate Transaction solely because Scotsman or a Restricted Subsidiary owns any Capital Stock in or otherwise controls such joint venture or similar entity; provided that no Affiliate of Scotsman or any of its Subsidiaries other than Scotsman or a Restricted Subsidiary shall have a beneficial interest in such joint venture or similar entity and (18) subject to compliance the other provisions of the indenture (including, without limitation, the covenants described under "—Merger and Consolidation," and "—Limitation on Indebtedness"), any merger, consolidation or reorganization of Scotsman with (x) an Affiliate that has no material operations or assets, solely for the purposes of (a) forming a holding company or (b) reincorporating Scotsman in a new jurisdiction (so long as such jurisdiction is in the United States) or (y) Williams Scotsman International.

        Change of Control.    (a) Upon a Change of Control, if Scotsman does not redeem the notes as described in "Optional Redemption," Scotsman will be required to make an offer to repurchase the notes (the "Change of Control Offer") at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of

141



repurchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest on the relevant interest payment date), in accordance with the terms contemplated in paragraph (b) below.

        (b)   Within 30 days following any Change of Control (unless Scotsman has mailed a redemption notice with respect to all the outstanding Notes in connection with such Change of Control), Scotsman shall mail or cause to be mailed a notice to each Holder with a copy to the trustee stating (1) that a Change of Control has occurred and that such Holder has the right to require Scotsman to purchase such Holder's notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest on the relevant interest payment date); (2) the circumstances and relevant facts regarding such Change of Control; (3) the repurchase date (which shall be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed); and (4) the instructions determined by Scotsman, consistent with the covenant described hereunder, that a Holder must follow in order to have its notes purchased.

        (c)   Scotsman shall comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to this covenant described hereunder. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of the covenant described hereunder, Scotsman shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the covenant described hereunder by virtue thereof.

        Scotsman will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in the indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by Scotsman and purchases all notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer.

        The Change of Control purchase feature is a result of negotiations between Scotsman and the Initial Purchasers. Management has no present intention to engage in a transaction involving a Change of Control, although it is possible that Scotsman would decide to do so in the future. Subject to the limitations discussed below, Scotsman could, in the future, enter into certain transactions, including acquisitions, refinancings or other recapitalizations, that would not constitute a Change of Control under the indenture, but that could increase the amount of Indebtedness outstanding at such time or otherwise affect Scotsman's capital structure or credit ratings. Restrictions on the ability of Scotsman to incur additional Indebtedness are contained in the covenant described under "—Limitation on Indebtedness." Such restrictions can only be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the notes then outstanding. Except for the limitations contained in such covenants, however, the indenture does not contain any covenants or provisions that may afford Holders of the notes protection in the event of a highly leveraged transaction.

        The Credit Agreement prohibits us from purchasing any Notes, and also provides that some Change of Control events would constitute a default thereunder. Future indebtedness of Scotsman may contain prohibitions on the occurrence of certain events that would constitute a Change of Control or require such indebtedness to be repurchased upon a Change of Control. Moreover, the exercise by the Holders of their right to require Scotsman to repurchase the notes could cause a default under such indebtedness, even if the Change of Control itself does not, due to the financial effect of such repurchase on Scotsman. Finally, Scotsman's ability to pay cash to the Holders of notes following the occurrence of a Change

142



of Control may be limited by Scotsman's then existing financial resources. There can be no assurance that sufficient funds will be available when necessary to make any required repurchases.

        The provisions under the indenture relative to Scotsman's obligation to make an offer to repurchase the notes as a result of a Change of Control may be waived or modified with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the notes.

        Limitation on the Sale or Issuance of Capital Stock of Restricted Subsidiaries.    Scotsman shall not sell or otherwise dispose of any Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary, directly or indirectly, to issue or sell or otherwise dispose of any of its Capital Stock except (1) to Scotsman or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary or to any director of a Restricted Subsidiary to the extent required as director's qualifying shares, (2) if, immediately after giving effect to such issuance, sale or other disposition, neither Scotsman nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries owns any Capital Stock of such Restricted Subsidiary, (3) if, immediately after giving effect to such issuance, sale or other disposition, such Restricted Subsidiary would no longer constitute a Restricted Subsidiary and any Investment in such Person remaining after giving effect thereto would have been permitted to be made under the covenant described under "—Limitation on Restricted Payments" if made on the date of such issuance, sale or other disposition, (4) any sale of Capital Stock in connection with a Permitted Units Financing, (5) to Scotsman, a Restricted Subsidiary or the minority shareholders of any Restricted Subsidiary, on a pro rata basis or (6) to the extent such shares are required by applicable law to be held by a Person other than Scotsman or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary.

        Notwithstanding the foregoing, this covenant shall not prohibit the issuance or sale of Capital Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary in connection with (a) the formation or capitalization of a Restricted Subsidiary or (b) a single transaction or series of substantially contemporaneous transactions whereby such Restricted Subsidiary becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of Scotsman by reason of acquisition of securities or assets from another Person.

        Merger and Consolidation.    Scotsman shall not consolidate with or merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease, in one transaction or a series of transactions, all or substantially all its assets to, any Person (including Williams Scotsman International), unless (1) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (the "Successor Issuer") shall be a Person organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia and the Successor Issuer (if not Scotsman) shall expressly assume, by an indenture supplemental thereto, executed and delivered to the trustee, in form reasonably satisfactory to the trustee, all the obligations of Scotsman under the notes and the indenture; (2) immediately after giving effect to such transaction (and treating any Indebtedness which becomes an obligation of the Successor Issuer or any Subsidiary as a result of such transaction as having been Incurred by such Successor Issuer or such Subsidiary at the time of such transaction), no Default shall have occurred and be continuing; (3) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, the Successor Issuer would (x) be able to Incur an additional $1.00 of Indebtedness pursuant to paragraph (a) of the covenant described under "—Limitation on Indebtedness" or (y) have a Consolidated Coverage Ratio that would be equal to or greater than the Consolidated Coverage Ratio of Scotsman immediately prior to such transaction; and (4) Scotsman shall have delivered to the trustee an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer and such supplemental indenture (if any) comply with the indenture. Notwithstanding clause (3) above (but subject to each other provision of the indenture), a Subsidiary Guarantor or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary (other than the Subordinated Guarantor) may be consolidated with or merged into Scotsman and Scotsman may consolidate with or merge with or into, (A) another

143



Person, if such Person is a single purpose corporation that has not conducted any business or Incurred any Indebtedness or other liabilities and such transaction is being consummated solely to change the state of incorporation of Scotsman or to form a holding company whose only asset is 100% of the Capital Stock of Scotsman and (B) Williams Scotsman International; provided, however, that immediately after giving effect to such consolidation or merger, the Successor Company shall have a pro forma Consolidated Coverage Ratio that is not less than Consolidated Coverage Ratio of Scotsman immediately prior to such consolidation or merger; provided, further, that the Subordinated Guarantor may be consolidated with, may be merged into or may transfer all or substantially all its assets to Scotsman with the prior written consent of the requisite holders or Representative or Representatives of all Subordinated Guarantor Senior Indebtedness outstanding without complying with the requirements of the first sentence of this paragraph (in which case, if such consent has been given, the Subordinated Guarantee (including, the subordination provisions described above) shall terminate and be extinguished).

        The Successor Company shall be the successor to Scotsman and shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, Scotsman under the indenture, but the predecessor Company in the case of a lease shall not be released from the obligation to pay the principal of and interest on the notes.

        Each Guarantor shall not and Scotsman shall not permit any Guarantor to consolidate with or merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease, in one transaction or a series of transactions, all or substantially all its assets to, any Person (other than, in the case of a Subsidiary Guarantor, Scotsman or any other Subsidiary Guarantor), unless (1) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (the "Successor Guarantor") shall be a Person organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia and the Successor Guarantor (if not Scotsman) shall expressly assume, by an indenture supplemental thereto, executed and delivered to the trustee, in form reasonably satisfactory to the trustee, all the obligations of the Guarantor on the Guarantee and in the indenture; and (2) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

        Except in connection with a transaction permitted by the first paragraph of this covenant, Scotsman shall not permit the Subordinated Guarantor, and the Subordinated Guarantor shall not, consolidate with or merge into or with, or convey, transfer or lease, in any transaction or a series of related transactions, all or substantially all of its assets to any Person; provided that the Subordinated Guarantor may be consolidated with, merged with or into, or transfer all or substantially all its assets to, Scotsman or any Subsidiary Guarantor with the prior written consent of the requisite holders or Representative or Representatives of all Subordinated Guarantor Senior Indebtedness outstanding (in which case, if such consent has been given, the subordination provisions described above with respect to the Subordinated Guarantee shall terminate and be extinguished). Notwithstanding the above provisions, the Subordinated Guarantor may lease any or all of its assets to Scotsman or any Wholly Owned Subsidiary of Scotsman at any time.

        SEC Reports.    Notwithstanding that Scotsman may not be, or may not be required to remain, subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, Scotsman shall file or continue to file with the SEC and provide the trustee and any Noteholder (upon the request of such Noteholder) with such annual reports and such information, documents and other reports as are specified in Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act and applicable to a U.S. corporation subject to such Sections, such information, documents and other reports to be so filed and provided at the times specified for the filing of such information, documents and reports under such Sections. To the extent that a Person

144



that owns directly or indirectly the majority of the Voting Stock of Scotsman and has guaranteed the notes has complied with the reporting requirements described in the preceding sentence by filing reports relating to such Person, Scotsman and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis then Scotsman shall be deemed to have complied with such requirements.

        Activities of Scotsman and Its Restricted Subsidiaries.    Scotsman shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, engage in any business other than developing, owning, engaging in and dealing with a Permitted Business.

        Additional Guarantees.    Scotsman will cause each Subsidiary which becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor after the Issue Date (1) to execute and deliver to the trustee a supplemental indenture, in form reasonably satisfactory to the trustee, pursuant to which such Subsidiary shall unconditionally guarantee all of Scotsman's obligations under the notes and the indenture on the terms set forth in the indenture and (2) to deliver to the trustee an opinion of counsel that such supplemental indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Subsidiary and constitutes a legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligation of such Subsidiary, subject to customary exceptions for bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance, equitable principles, remedies and waivers. Thereafter, such Subsidiary shall be a Subsidiary Guarantor for all purposes of this indenture until it ceases to be such pursuant to the definition of Subsidiary Guarantor contained herein.

        Activities of Subordinated Guarantor.    Scotsman shall not permit the Subordinated Guarantor to, and the Subordinated Guarantor shall not (1) engage in any activity other than acquiring, owning, holding, managing, marketing, maintaining, leasing, selling or disposing of Rental Equipment and activities directly incidental thereto (including leasing such Rental Equipment to Scotsman or any of its Subsidiaries) or (2) incur any Indebtedness other than Indebtedness incurred in compliance with the covenant described under "—Limitations on Indebtedness."

        Neither Scotsman nor any of the Restricted Subsidiaries will sell, transfer or otherwise convey to the Subordinated Guarantor any of its or their respective assets other than Rental Equipment (and related leases) which Rental Equipment, at the time of transfer, (x) is not evidenced by a certificate of title under applicable motor vehicle registration, certificate of title and other applicable state laws or (y) if evidenced by a certificate of title as described in preceding clause (x), where counsel to Scotsman is unable to conclude that the notation of a security interest thereon (or another similar procedure) is effective under applicable state law to create a fully perfected security interest therein.

        All Rental Equipment (and related leases) sold, transferred or otherwise conveyed by Scotsman or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to the Subordinated Guarantor shall be transferred or otherwise conveyed only by way of a capital contribution to the common equity of the Subordinated Guarantor.

        The Subordinated Guarantor is not permitted to have any Subsidiaries.

Defaults

        An Event of Default is defined in the indenture as (1) a default in the payment of interest on the notes when due, continued for 30 days, (2) a default in the payment of principal of any note when due at its Stated Maturity, upon optional redemption, upon required repurchase, upon declaration or otherwise (including the failure to make a payment to purchase notes tendered pursuant to Change of Control or an Excess Proceeds Payment), (3) the failure by Scotsman to comply with its obligations under "—Certain Covenants—Merger and

145



Consolidation" above, (4) the failure by Scotsman to comply for 30 days after notice with any of its obligations in the covenants described above under "—Certain Covenants" under "—Limitation on Indebtedness," "—Limitation on Restrictions on Distributions from Restricted Subsidiaries," "—Limitation on Restricted Payments," "Limitation on Sales of Assets and Subsidiary Stock" (other than a failure to purchase notes), "—Limitation on Affiliate Transactions," "—Limitation on the Sale or Issuance of Capital Stock of Restricted Subsidiaries," "—Change of Control" (other than a failure to purchase notes), "—SEC Reports," or "—Activities of Subordinated Guarantor," (5) the failure by Scotsman to comply for 60 days after notice with its other agreements contained in the indenture, (6) Indebtedness of Scotsman or any Significant Subsidiary is not paid within any applicable grace period after final maturity or is accelerated by the holders thereof because of a default and the total amount of such Indebtedness unpaid or accelerated exceeds $25.0 million (the "cross acceleration provision"), (7)(a) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of Scotsman or (b) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of a Significant Subsidiary (the "bankruptcy provisions"), (8) any judgment or decree for the payment of money in excess of $25.0 million (net of applicable insurance coverage provided that the insurance carriers have acknowledged coverage) is rendered against Scotsman or any Significant Subsidiary, remains outstanding for a period of 60 days following such judgment and is not discharged, waived or stayed within 10 days after notice or an enforcement proceeding is commenced upon such judgment or decree (the "judgment default provision") or (9) any of the Guarantees or the Subordinated Guarantee ceases to be in full force and effect or any of the Guarantees or the Subordinated Guarantee is declared to be null and void and unenforceable or any of the Guarantees or the Subordinated Guarantee is found to be invalid, in each case by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment, or any of the Guarantors or the Subordinated Guarantor denies its liability under its Guarantee or the Subordinated Guarantee (other than by reason of release of a Guarantor or the Subordinated Guarantor in accordance with the terms of the indenture). However, a default under clauses (4), (5) or (8) will not constitute an Event of Default until the trustee or the holders of 25% in principal amount of the outstanding notes notify Scotsman of the default and Scotsman does not cure such default within the time specified after receipt of such notice.

        If an Event of Default (other than pursuant to clause (7)(a) of the immediately preceding paragraph) occurs and is continuing, the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding notes may declare the principal of and accrued but unpaid interest on all the notes to be due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such principal and interest shall be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of Scotsman occurs and is continuing, the principal of and interest on all the notes will ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the trustee or any holders of the notes. Under certain circumstances, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding notes may rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences.

        Subject to the provisions of the indenture relating to the duties of the trustee, in case an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under the indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders of the notes unless such holders have offered to the trustee indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to the trustee against any loss, liability or expense. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest when due, no holder of a note may pursue any remedy with respect to the indenture or the notes unless (1) such holder has previously given the trustee notice that an Event of Default is continuing, (2) holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes have requested the

146



trustee to pursue the remedy, (3) such holders have offered the trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the trustee against any loss, liability or expense, (4) the trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt thereof and the offer of security or indemnity and (5) the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding notes have not given the trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period. Subject to certain restrictions, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding notes are given the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the trustee. The trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or the indenture or that the trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other holder of a note or that would involve the trustee in personal liability.

        The indenture provides that if a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and is known to a trust officer of the trustee, the trustee must mail to each holder of the notes notice of the Default within 90 days after obtaining knowledge thereof. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of or interest on any note, the trustee may withhold notice if and so long as its board of directors, the executive committee of its board of directors or a committee of its board of directors or trust officers determines that withholding notice is in the interest of the holders of the notes. In addition, Scotsman is required to deliver to the trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, a certificate indicating whether the signers thereof know of any Default or Event of Default that occurred during the previous year. Scotsman also is required to deliver to the trustee, within 30 days after becoming aware thereof, written notice of any Default or Event of Default.

Amendments and Waivers

        Subject to certain exceptions, the indenture may be amended with the consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the notes then outstanding (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange for the notes) and any past default or compliance with any provisions may also be waived with the consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the notes then outstanding. However, without the consent of each holder of an outstanding note affected thereby, no amendment may, among other things, (1) reduce the amount of notes whose holders must consent to an amendment, (2) reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest on any note, (3) reduce the principal of or extend the Stated Maturity of any note, (4) reduce the premium payable upon the redemption of any note or change the time at which any note may be redeemed as described under "—Optional Redemption" above (other than, except from and after the time that a Change of Control has occurred until the relevant Change of Control Offer shall have been consummated, as described under "—Optional Redemption—Optional Redemption Upon Change of Control"), (5) make any note payable in money other than that stated in the note, (6) impair the right of any holder of the notes to receive payment of principal of and interest on such holder's notes on or after the due dates therefor or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such holder's Notes, (7) make any change in the amendment provisions which require each holder's consent or in the waiver provisions or (8) release any Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary or the Subordinated Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Guarantee or Subordinated Guarantee, as the case may be, otherwise than in accordance with the terms of the indenture.

        Without the consent of any holder of the notes, Scotsman, the Guarantors, the Subordinated Guarantor and the trustee may amend the indenture to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency, to provide for the assumption by a successor issuer or guarantor of the obligations of Scotsman, the Guarantor or the Subordinated Guarantor under

147



the indenture, to provide for uncertificated notes in addition to or in place of certificated notes (provided that the uncertificated notes are issued in registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the Code, or in a manner such that the uncertificated notes are described in Section 163(f)(2)(B) of the Code), to add guarantees with respect to the notes, to secure the Notes or to provide for the release of the Subordinated Guarantee as described in the definition of Guarantor, to release any Guarantor or the Subordinated Guarantor from its obligations under its Guarantee and the indenture to the extent permitted by the indenture, to add to the covenants of Scotsman, Guarantors or the Subordinated Guarantor for the benefit of the holders of the notes or to surrender any right or power conferred upon Scotsman, Guarantors or the Subordinated Guarantor, to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any holder of the notes, to comply with any requirement of the SEC in connection with the qualification of the indenture under the Trust Indenture Act and to conform the text of the indenture, the Guarantees and the notes to any provision of this "Description of Notes" to the extent that such provision in this "Description of Notes" was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of the indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes.

        An amendment to the indenture may not make any change that adversely affects the rights of any holder of Subordinated Guarantor Senior Indebtedness then outstanding without the prior written consent of the requisite holders of such Subordinated Guarantor Senior Indebtedness or their representatives.

        The consent of the holders of the notes is not necessary under the indenture to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment. It is sufficient if such consent approves the substance of the proposed amendment.

        After an amendment under the indenture becomes effective, Scotsman is required to mail to holders of the notes a notice briefly describing such amendment. However, the failure to give such notice to all holders of the notes, or any defect therein, will not impair or affect the validity of the amendment.

Transfer

        The notes will be issued in registered form and will be transferable only upon the surrender of the notes being transferred for registration of transfer. Scotsman may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, assessment or other governmental charge payable in connection with certain transfers and exchanges.

Satisfaction and Discharge

        The indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to all notes issued thereunder, when

            (1)   either

              (A)  all notes that have been authenticated, except lost, stolen or destroyed notes that have been replaced or paid and notes for whose payment money has been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to Scotsman or discharged from the trust, have been delivered to the trustee for cancellation; or

              (B)   all notes that have not been delivered to the trustee for cancellation have (1) become due and payable by reason of the mailing of a notice of redemption or otherwise, (2) will become due and payable within one year or (3) are to be called for redemption within 12 months under arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the trustee in the name, and at the

148


      reasonable expense of Scotsman, and Scotsman, any Guarantor or the Subordinated Guarantor have irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable direct obligations of the United States maturing within one year or less ("Eligible Obligations"), or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and Eligible Obligations, in amounts as will be sufficient to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the notes not delivered to the trustee for cancellation for principal, premium and liquidated damages on the notes, if any, and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption, as the case may be;

            (2)   no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of the deposit or will occur as a result of the deposit and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of or constitute a default under, any other material instrument to which Scotsman, any Guarantor or the Subordinated Guarantor is a party or by which Scotsman, any Guarantor or the Subordinated Guarantor are bound;

            (3)   Scotsman, each Guarantor and the Subordinated Guarantor have paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by them under the indenture; and

            (4)   Scotsman has delivered irrevocable instructions to the trustee under the indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the notes at maturity or the redemption date, as the case may be.

        In addition, Scotsman must deliver an officers' certificate and an opinion of counsel to the trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge of the indenture with respect to the notes have been satisfied.

        Upon satisfaction of the above conditions, the Guarantees and the Subordinated Guarantee shall be released and Scotsman, the Guarantors and the Subordinated Guarantor will be entitled to releases of any asset of property constituting Collateral from the liens securing the notes, the Guarantees and the Subordinated Guarantee.

Defeasance

        Scotsman may, at its option and at any time, elect to have its obligations and the obligations of the Guarantors and the Subordinated Guarantor discharged with respect to the notes and the indenture ("legal defeasance"), except for certain obligations, including those respecting the defeasance trust and obligations to register the transfer or exchange of the notes, to replace mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen notes and to maintain a registrar and paying agent in respect of the notes. Scotsman at any time may terminate its obligations under the covenants described under "—Certain Covenants" (other than the covenant described under "—Merger and Consolidation"), the operation of the cross acceleration provision, the bankruptcy provisions with respect to Significant Subsidiaries and the Subordinated Guarantor and the judgment default provision described under "—Defaults" above, the Events of Default specified in clause (4) under "—Defaults" above and the limitations contained in clause (3) in the first sentence of the first paragraph or the first proviso in the second sentence of the first paragraph under "—Certain Covenants—Merger and Consolidation" above ("covenant defeasance"). Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth below for legal defeasance or covenant defeasance, as the case may be, the Guarantees and the Subordinated Guarantee shall be released and Scotsman, the Guarantors and the Subordinated Guarantor will be entitled to releases of any asset of property constituting Collateral from the Liens securing the notes, the Guarantees and the Subordinated Guarantee.

149



        Scotsman may exercise its legal defeasance option notwithstanding its prior exercise of its covenant defeasance option. If Scotsman exercises its legal defeasance option, payment of the notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default with respect thereto. If Scotsman exercises its covenant defeasance option, payment of the notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default specified in clause (4), (6), (7) (with respect only to Significant Subsidiaries), (8) or (9) under "—Defaults" above or because of the failure of Scotsman to comply with clause (3) in the first sentence of the first paragraph or the first proviso in the second sentence of the first paragraph under "—Certain Covenants—Merger and Consolidation" above.

        In order to exercise either defeasance option, Scotsman must irrevocably deposit in trust (the "defeasance trust") with the trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations for the payment of principal and interest on the notes to redemption or maturity, as the case may be, and must comply with certain other conditions, including delivery to the trustee of an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that holders of the notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit and defeasance had not occurred (and, in the case of legal defeasance only, (1) such Opinion of Counsel must be based on a ruling of the Internal Revenue Service or other change in applicable Federal income tax law and (2) such Opinion of Counsel shall not be required to be delivered if such legal defeasance occurs within one year of the Stated Maturity or optional redemption of the notes or the earliest possible optional redemption date for the notes (October 1, 2010).

Concerning the Trustee

        The Bank of New York is the trustee under the indenture and has been appointed by Scotsman as Registrar and Paying Agent with regard to the notes. The trustee was also the trustee for the Existing Unsecured Notes.

        The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding notes will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the trustee, subject to certain exceptions. The indenture provides that if an Event of Default occurs (and is not cured), the trustee will be required, in the exercise of its power, to use the degree of care of a prudent person in the conduct of his own affairs. Subject to such provisions, the trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the indenture at the request of any Holder of notes, unless such Holder shall have offered to the trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense and then only to the extent required by the terms of the indenture.

Governing Law

        The indenture provides that it, the notes, the Guarantees and the Subordinated Guarantee will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to applicable principles of conflicts of law to the extent that the application of the law of another jurisdiction would be required thereby.

BOOK-ENTRY, DELIVERY AND FORM

        Except as described below, we will initially issue the exchange notes in the form of one or more registered exchange notes in global form without coupons. We will deposit each global note on the date of the closing of this exchange offer with, or on behalf of, The Depository Trust Company in New York, New York, and register the exchange notes in the name of The Depository Trust Company or its nominee, or will leave these notes in the custody of the trustee.

Depository Trust Company Procedures

        For your convenience, we are providing you with a description of the operations and procedures of The Depository Trust Company, the Euroclear System and Clearstream Banking, S.A. These operations and procedures are solely within the control of the respective settlement systems and are subject to changes by them. We are not responsible for these operations and procedures and urge you to contact the system or its participants directly to discuss these matters.

        The Depository Trust Company has advised us that it is a limited-purpose trust company created to hold securities for its participating organizations and to facilitate the clearance and settlement of transactions in those securities between its participants through electronic book entry changes in the accounts of these participants. These direct participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and other organizations. Access to The Depository Trust Company's system is also indirectly available to other entities that clear through or maintain a direct or indirect, custodial relationship with a direct participant. The Depository Trust Company may hold securities beneficially owned by other persons only through its participants and the ownership interests and transfers of ownership interests of these other persons will be recorded only on the records of the participants and not on the records of The Depository Trust Company.

        The Depository Trust Company has also advised us that, in accordance with its procedures,

            (1)   upon deposit of the global notes, it will credit the accounts of the direct participants with an interest in the global notes, and

            (2)   it will maintain records of the ownership interests of these direct participants in the global notes and the transfer of ownership interests by and between direct participants.

        The Depository Trust Company will not maintain records of the ownership interests of, or the transfer of ownership interests by and between, indirect participants or other owners of beneficial interests in the global notes. Both direct and indirect participants must maintain their own records of ownership interests of, and the transfer of ownership interests by and between, indirect participants and other owners of beneficial interests in the global notes.

        Investors in the global notes may hold their interests in the notes directly through The Depository Trust Company if they are direct participants in The Depository Trust Company or indirectly through organizations that are direct participants in The Depository Trust Company. Investors in the global notes may also hold their interests in the notes through Euroclear and Clearstream if they are direct participants in those systems or indirectly through organizations that are participants in those systems. Euroclear and Clearstream will hold omnibus positions in the global notes on behalf of the Euroclear participants and the Clearstream participants, respectively, through customers' securities accounts in Euroclear's and Clearstream's names on the books of their respective depositories, which are Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of

151



New York, Brussels office, as operator of Euroclear, and Citibank, N.A. and The Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A., as operators of Clearstream. These depositories, in turn, will hold these positions in their names on the books of DTC. All interests in a global note, including those held through Euroclear or Clearstream, may be subject to the procedures and requirements of The Depository Trust Company. Those interests held through Euroclear or Clearstream may also be subject to the procedures and requirements of those systems.

        The laws of some states require that some persons take physical delivery in definitive certificated form of the securities that they own. This may limit or curtail the ability to transfer beneficial interests in a global note to these persons. Because The Depository Trust Company can act only on behalf of direct participants, which in turn act on behalf of indirect participants and others, the ability of a person having a beneficial interest in a global note to pledge its interest to persons or entities that are not direct participants in The Depository Trust Company or to otherwise take actions in respect of its interest, may be affected by the lack of physical certificates evidencing the interests.

        Except as described below, owners of interests in the global notes will not have notes registered in their names, will not receive physical delivery of notes in certificated form and will not be considered the registered owners or holders of these notes under the indenture for any purpose.

        Payments with respect to the principal of and interest on any notes represented by a global note registered in the name of The Depository Trust Company or its nominee on the applicable record date will be payable by the trustee to or at the direction of The Depository Trust Company or its nominee in its capacity as the registered holder of the global note representing these notes under the indenture. Under the terms of the indenture, we and the trustee will treat the person in whose names the notes are registered, including notes represented by global notes, as the owners of the notes for the purpose of receiving payments and for any and all other purposes whatsoever. Payments in respect of the principal and interest on global notes registered in the name of The Depository Trust Company or its nominee will be payable by the trustee to The Depository Trust Company or its nominee as the registered holder under the indenture. Consequently, none of Williams Scotsman, the trustee or any of our agents, or the trustee's agents has or will have any responsibility or liability for:

            (1)   any aspect of The Depository Trust Company's records or any direct or indirect participant's records relating to, or payments made on account of, beneficial ownership interests in the global notes or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any of The Depository Trust Company's records or any direct or indirect participant's records relating to the beneficial ownership interests in any global note or

            (2)   any other matter relating to the actions and practices of The Depository Trust Company or any of its direct or indirect participants.

        The Depository Trust Company has advised us that its current practice, upon receipt of any payment in respect of securities such as the notes, including principal and interest, is to credit the accounts of the relevant participants with the payment on the payment date, in amounts proportionate to their respective holdings in the principal amount of beneficial interest in the security as shown on its records, unless it has reasons to believe that it will not receive payment on the payment date. Payments by the direct and indirect participants to the beneficial owners of interests in the global note will be governed by standing instructions and customary practice and will be the responsibility of the direct or indirect participants and will not be the responsibility of The Depository Trust Company, the trustee or us.

152


        Neither we nor the trustee will be liable for any delay by The Depository Trust Company or any direct or indirect participant in identifying the beneficial owners of the notes and Williams Scotsman and the trustee may conclusively rely on, and will be protected in relying on, instructions from The Depository Trust Company or its nominee for all purposes, including with respect to the registration and delivery, and the respective principal amounts, of the notes.

        Transfers between participants in The Depository Trust Company will be effected in accordance with The Depository Trust Company's procedures, and will be settled in same day funds, and transfers between participants in Euroclear and Clearstream will be effected in accordance with their respective rules and operating procedures.

        Cross-market transfers between the participants in The Depository Trust Company, on the one hand, and Euroclear or Clearstream participants, on the other hand, will be effected through The Depository Trust Company in accordance with The Depository Trust Company's rules on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, by its respective depositary; however, such cross-market transactions will require delivery of instructions to Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, by the counterparty in such system in accordance with the rules and procedures and within the established deadlines (Brussels time) of such system. Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, will, if the transaction meets its settlement requirements, deliver instructions to its respective depositary to take action to effect final settlement on its behalf by delivering or receiving interests in the relevant global note in The Depository Trust Company, and making or receiving payment in accordance with normal procedures for same-day funds settlement applicable to The Depository Trust Company. Euroclear participants and Clearstream participants may not deliver instructions directly to the depositories for Euroclear or Clearstream.

        The Depository Trust Company has advised us that it will take any action permitted to be taken by a holder of notes only at the direction of one or more participants to whose account The Depository Trust Company has credited the interests in the global notes and only in respect of the portion of the aggregate principal amount of the notes as to which the participant or participants has or have given that direction. However, if there is an event of default with respect to the notes, The Depository Trust Company reserves the right to exchange the global notes for legended notes in certificated form and to distribute them to its participants.

        Although The Depository Trust Company, Euroclear and Clearstream have agreed to these procedures to facilitate transfers of interests in the global notes among participants in The Depository Trust Company, Euroclear and Clearstream, they are under no obligation to perform or to continue to perform these procedures and may discontinue them at any time. None of Williams Scotsman, the trustee or any of our or the trustee's respective agents will have any responsibility for the performance by The Depository Trust Company, Euroclear or Clearstream or their direct or indirect participants of their respective obligations under the rules and procedures governing their operations.

Exchange of Book-Entry Notes for Certificated Notes

A global note will be exchangeable for definitive notes in registered certificated form if:

    (1)
    The Depository Trust Company notifies us that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depository for the global notes and we fail to appoint a successor depository within 90 days, or

153


    (2)
    a default or an event of default under the indenture for the notes has occurred and is continuing.

        In all cases, certificated notes delivered in exchange for any global note or beneficial interests in a global note will be registered in the name, and issued in any approved denominations, requested by or on behalf of The Depository Trust Company, in accordance with its customary procedures.

Same Day Settlement

        We expect that the interests in the global notes will be eligible to trade in The Depository Trust Company's Same-Day Funds Settlement System. As a result, secondary market trading activity in these interests will settle in immediately available funds, subject in all cases to the rules and procedures of The Depository Trust Company and its participants. We expect that secondary trading in any certificated notes will also be settled in immediately available funds.

        Because of time zone differences, the securities account of a Euroclear or Clearstream participant purchasing an interest in a global note from a participant in The Depository Trust Company will be credited, and any such crediting will be reported to the relevant Euroclear or Clearstream participant, during the securities settlement processing day (which must be a business day for Euroclear and Clearstream) immediately following the settlement date of The Depository Trust Company. The Depository Trust Company has advised us that cash received in Euroclear or Clearstream as a result of sales of interests in a global note by or through a Euroclear or Clearstream participant to a participant in The Depository Trust Company will be received with value on the settlement date of The Depository Trust Company but will be available in the relevant Euroclear or Clearstream cash account only as of the business day for Euroclear or Clearstream following The Depository Trust Company's settlement date.

Payment

        The indenture requires that payments in respect of the notes represented by global notes, including principal and interest, be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the holder of the global notes. With respect to notes in certificated form, if any, we will make all payments of principal and interest on the notes at our office or agency maintained for that purpose within the city and state of New York. This office will initially be the office of the Paying Agent maintained for that purpose. At our option however, we may make these installments of interest by

            (1)   check mailed to the holders of notes at their respective addresses provided in the register of holder of notes or

            (2)   transfer to an account maintained by the payee.

UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

        The following discussion summarizes certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the exchange of initial notes for exchange notes in accordance with the exchange offer as well as the ownership and disposition of the exchange notes by U.S. and Non-U.S. holders, each as defined below, who exchange initial notes for exchange notes pursuant to the exchange offer. This discussion is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), applicable Treasury regulations promulgated and proposed thereunder, and current administrative pronouncements and judicial decisions. All of the foregoing is subject to change (possibly with retroactive effect) and any such change may result in U.S. federal income tax consequences to a holder that are materially different from those described below. No rulings from the United States Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") have been or are expected to be sought with respect to the matters described below, and consequently, the IRS may not take a similar view of the consequences described below. Because individual circumstances may differ, you are strongly urged to consult your tax advisor with respect to your particular tax situation and the particular tax effects of any state, local, foreign or other tax laws and possible changes in the tax laws.

        The following discussion does not purport to be a complete analysis or listing of all potential U.S. federal income tax considerations that may be relevant to a holder in light of such holder's particular circumstances and only addresses holders who hold the exchange notes as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code. Furthermore, this discussion does not address the U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to holders subject to special rules, such as certain financial institutions, tax-exempt entities, real estate investment trusts, regulated investment companies, insurance companies, partnerships or other pass-through entities or investors in such entities, persons who have ceased to be U.S. citizens or to be taxed as resident aliens, persons subject to the alternative minimum tax, traders in securities that elect to use a mark-to-market method of accounting, individual retirement accounts or tax-deferred accounts, dealers in securities or currencies, persons holding the notes offered hereby in connection with a hedging or conversion transaction, a straddle or a constructive sale and holders whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar. In addition, this discussion does not include any description of any alternative minimum tax consequences, or estate and gift tax consequences, or the tax laws of any state, local or foreign government that may be applicable to the exchange notes.

        As used in this prospectus, a "U.S. holder" means a beneficial owner of an exchange note who or that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

    an individual that is a citizen or resident of the United States;

    a corporation or other entity treated as a corporation created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any of its political subdivisions;

    an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or

    a trust if either (A) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more "U.S. persons" within the meaning of the Code have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (B) the trust has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury regulations to be treated as a "U.S. person" within the meaning of the Code.

        As used in this prospectus, a "Non-U.S. holder" means a beneficial owner of an exchange note who is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a nonresident alien individual, or a corporation, estate or trust that is not a U.S. holder.

155



        If a partnership, or other entity taxable as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, holds an exchange note the tax treatment of a partner will generally depend on the status of the partner and on the activities of the partnership. Prospective purchasers of exchange notes that are partnerships or who would hold these notes through a partnership or similar pass-through entity should consult their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences to them of holding and disposing of the exchange notes.

        THIS SUMMARY IS FOR GENERAL INFORMATION ONLY AND IS NOT TAX ADVICE. PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS WITH REGARD TO THE APPLICATION OF U.S. FEDERAL TAX LAWS TO THEIR PARTICULAR SITUATIONS, AS WELL AS ANY TAX CONSEQUENCES ARISING UNDER THE LAWS OF ANY STATE, LOCAL OR FOREIGN TAXING JURISDICTION.

Tax Considerations Applicable to U.S. Holders and Non-U.S. Holders

Exchange of Initial Notes for Exchange Notes

        The exchange of an initial note for an exchange note should not constitute a taxable exchange for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In such case, (i) a holder will not recognize any gain or loss upon the receipt of an exchange note, (ii) holder's holding period for an exchange note should include the holding period for the initial note exchanged, (iii) the holder's initial basis in an exchange note should be the same as the adjusted basis of such holder in the initial note at the time of the exchange, (iv) any market discount or bond premium (discussed below) will carry over to the exchange notes, and (v) the U.S. federal income tax consequences of holding and disposing of an exchange note generally should be the same as the U.S. federal income tax consequences of holding and disposing of an initial note. The balance of this discussion assumes that the exchange will not constitute a taxable exchange.

U.S. Holders

Payments of Interest

        Interest on an exchange note generally will be taxable to a U.S. holder as ordinary interest income at the time it accrues or is received in accordance with the U.S. holder's method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In certain circumstances (see "Description of Notes—Optional Redemption" and "Description of Notes—Optional Redemption Upon Change of Control"), we may be obligated to pay a holder additional amounts in excess of stated interest or principal on these exchange notes. According to Treasury regulations, the possibility that any such payments in excess of stated interest or principal will be made will not affect the amount, timing or character of interest income to be currently recognized by a holder if there is only a remote chance as of the date these exchange notes were issued that any of the circumstances that would give rise to the payment of such additional amounts (considered individually and in the aggregate) will occur. Because we believe the likelihood that we will be obligated to make any such payments is remote, we do not intend to treat the potential payment of any such amounts as part of the yield to maturity of any exchange notes. In the event such a contingency occurs, it would affect the amount and timing of the income that a holder must recognize. Our determination that these contingencies are remote is binding on a holder unless such holder discloses a contrary position in the manner required by applicable Treasury regulations. Our determination is not, however, binding on the IRS and if the IRS were to challenge this determination, a holder might be required to accrue income on the exchange notes in excess

156



of stated interest, and to treat as ordinary income rather than capital gain any income realized on the taxable disposition of an exchange note before the resolution of the contingencies.

        A portion of the initial purchase price of each new note was attributable to the amount of unpaid interest on the new notes that had accrued prior to the issue date of the new notes (the "pre-issuance accrued interest"). Pursuant to the applicable Treasury regulations, we computed the issue price of the new notes by subtracting the pre-issuance accrued interest from the first price at which a substantial amount of the new notes were sold (ignoring sales to bond houses, brokers or similar persons or organizations acting in the capacity of underwriters, placement agents or wholesalers). If a U.S. holder exchanges a new note for an exchange note pursuant to the exchange offer, we will treat a portion of the first interest payment on the exchange notes as a return of the pre-issuance accrued interest, rather than an amount payable on the exchange notes. A U.S. holder should be able to treat a portion of the first interest payment on the new notes and exchange notes issued in exchange therefore as a non-taxable return of the pre-issuance accrued interest paid by such U.S. holder, rather than as taxable interest, as if the U.S. holder purchased a debt instrument on the secondary market in between interest payment dates. U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors concerning the tax treatment of the pre-issuance accrued interest on the new notes and exchange notes.

Bond Premium and Market Discount

        If a U.S. holder purchased an initial note prior to this exchange offer for an amount that is in excess of all amounts payable on the initial note after the purchase date, other than payments of qualified stated interest, the excess will be treated as bond premium. If a U.S. holder exchanges an initial note, with respect to which there is bond premium, for an exchange note pursuant to the exchange offer, the bond premium applicable to the initial note will carry over to the exchange note so received. The U.S. holder of an exchange note acquired with bond premium may, subject to certain limitations set forth in the Code and Treasury regulations, elect to amortize such premium and either deduct the amortized amounts from income or apply them against the interest payments received on the bond using methods set forth in the applicable Treasury regulations. To the extent that bond premium amortizations are deducted or used to offset interest payments on the exchange notes, a U.S. holder will reduce its basis in the exchange notes. If a U.S. holder elects to amortize bond premium, that election applies to the bond premium on all taxable debt instruments the U.S. holder holds during or after the taxable year for which the U.S. holder makes the election and may be revoked only with the consent of the IRS.

        If a U.S. holder purchased an initial note prior to the exchange offer for an amount that is less than its principal amount, then, subject to a statutory de minimis rule, the difference generally will be treated as market discount. If a U.S. holder exchanges an initial note, with respect to which there is market discount, for an exchange note pursuant to the exchange offer, the market discount applicable to the initial note will carry over to the exchange note so received. In that case, any partial principal payment on, or any gain realized on the sale, exchange, retirement or other disposition of, including dispositions which are nonrecognition transactions under certain provisions of the Code, the exchange note will be included in gross income and characterized as ordinary income to the extent of the market discount that (1) has not previously been included in income and (2) is treated as having accrued on the exchange note prior to the payment or disposition. Market discount generally accrues on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the exchange note. Upon an irrevocable election, however, market discount will accrue on a constant-yield basis. A U.S. holder might be required to defer all or a portion of the interest expense on indebtedness incurred or continued to

157



purchase or carry an exchange note. A U.S. holder may elect to include market discount in gross income currently as it accrues. If such an election is made, the preceding rules relating to the recognition of market discount and deferral of interest expense will not apply. An election made to include market discount in gross income as it accrues will apply to all debt instruments acquired by the U.S. holder on or after the first day of the taxable year to which the election applies and may be revoked only with the consent of the IRS.

Sale, Exchange or Disposition of the Exchange Notes

        Upon the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of an exchange note (other than the exchange of a note pursuant to the registration rights agreement entered into in connection with the offering of the new notes, as discussed in "—Tax Considerations Applicable to U.S. Holders and Non-U.S. Holders—Exchange of Notes for Exchange Notes"), a U.S. holder will generally recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between:

    the amount of cash plus the fair market value of any property received (other than any amount received attributable to accrued but unpaid interest not previously included in income, which will be taxable as ordinary income); and

    such holder's adjusted tax basis in the exchange note.

        A U.S. holder's tax basis in an exchange note will generally be such holder's cost for the initial note, adjusted to the extent described above in respect of market discount and bond premium. See "—U.S. Holders—Bond Premium and Market Discount." Such gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if at the time of sale, exchange, retirement or other taxable disposition of the exchange note, the holder held the exchange note for more than one year. In the case of a non-corporate U.S. holder, any such long-term capital gain will be subject to tax at a reduced rate. Subject to limited exceptions, capital losses cannot be used to offset ordinary income.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

        In general, information reporting requirements will apply to certain payments of principal of, and interest on, an exchange note, and the proceeds of disposition (including a redemption) of an exchange note before maturity, to U.S. holders other than certain exempt recipients such as corporations and certain tax-exempt organizations. In general, backup withholding at the then applicable rate (currently 28%) will be applicable to a U.S. holder that is not an exempt recipient, such as a corporation, if such U.S. holder:

    fails to provide a correct taxpayer identification number (which, for an individual, would generally be his or her Social Security Number);

    is notified by the IRS that it is subject to backup withholding because it has failed to report interest income in full;

    fails to certify that the holder is exempt from withholding; or

    otherwise fails to comply with applicable requirements of the backup withholding rules.

        Any amount withheld from payment to a holder under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a credit against the holder's U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle the holder to a refund, provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS. U.S. holders of exchange notes should consult their tax advisors regarding the application of backup withholding in their particular situation, the availability of an exemption from backup withholding and the procedure for obtaining such an exemption, if available.

158



Non-U.S. Holders

        The rules governing U.S. federal income taxation of Non-U.S. holders are complex. Non-U.S. holders should consult with their own tax advisors to determine the effect of federal, state, local and foreign income tax laws, as well as treaties, with regard to an investment in the exchange notes, including any reporting requirements.

Payments of Interest

        Subject to the discussion below concerning backup withholding, payments of interest on the exchange notes by us or our paying agent to a Non-U.S. holder, that are not effectively connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business, will generally not be subject to U.S. federal income tax or withholding tax, if:

    the Non-U.S. holder does not own directly or indirectly, actually or constructively, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of our voting stock;

    the Non-U.S. holder is not, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a controlled foreign corporation related, directly or indirectly, to us through stock ownership under applicable rules of the Code;

    the Non-U.S. holder is not a bank receiving interest described in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code; and

    the certification requirement, as described below, has been fulfilled with respect to the beneficial owner.

        The certification requirement referred to above will be fulfilled if either (A) the Non-U.S. holder provides to us or our paying agent an IRS Form W-8BEN (or successor form), signed under penalties of perjury, that includes such holder's name and address and a certification as to its Non-U.S. status, or (B) a securities clearing organization, bank or other financial institution that holds customers' securities in the ordinary course of its trade or business holds the exchange note on behalf of the beneficial owner and provides a statement to us or our paying agent, signed under penalties of perjury, in which the organization, bank or financial institution certifies that it has received an IRS Form W-8BEN (or successor form) from the Non-U.S. holder or from another financial institution acting on behalf of such holder and furnishes us or our paying agent with a copy thereof and otherwise complies with the applicable IRS requirements. Other methods might be available to satisfy the certification requirements described above, depending on the circumstances applicable to the Non-U.S. holder.

        The gross amount of payments of interest that do not qualify for the exception from withholding described above (the "portfolio interest exemption") will be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax at a rate of 30% unless (A) the Non-U.S. holder provides a properly completed IRS Form W-8BEN (or successor form) claiming an exemption from or reduction in withholding under an applicable tax treaty, or (B) such interest is effectively connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business by such Non-U.S. holder and such holder provides us with a properly completed IRS Form W-8ECI (or successor form).

        If a Non-U.S. holder is engaged in a trade or business in the United States and if interest on the exchange note or gain realized on the disposition of the exchange note is effectively connected with the conduct of such trade or business, the Non-U.S. holder generally will be subject to regular U.S. federal income tax on the interest or gain on a net basis in the same manner as if it were a U.S. holder, unless an applicable treaty provides otherwise. In addition,

159



if the Non-U.S. holder is a foreign corporation, it may also be subject to a branch profits tax at a rate of 30% on its earnings and profits for the taxable year, subject to certain adjustments, unless reduced or eliminated by an applicable tax treaty. Even though such effectively connected income is subject to income tax, and may be subject to the branch profits tax, it is not subject to withholding tax if the Non-U.S. holder satisfies the certification requirements described above.

        As more fully described above under "Description of Notes—Optional Redemption" and "Description of Notes—Change of Control," upon the occurrence of certain enumerated events we may be required to make payments of liquidated damages to holders of the exchange notes. We believe that the likelihood that we will be obligated to make any such payments is remote. If any such payments are made, they may be treated as interest, subject to the rules described above or as other income subject to U.S. federal withholding tax. Although the matter is not free from doubt, we intend to treat such payments made to Non-U.S. holders as subject to U.S. federal withholding tax at a rate of 30% subject to reduction or exemption (a) by an applicable treaty if the Non-U.S. holder provides an IRS Form W-8BEN certifying that it is entitled to such treaty benefits or (b) upon the receipt of an IRS Form W-8ECI from a Non-U.S. holder claiming that such payments are effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the U.S.

Sale, Exchange or Disposition of the Exchange Notes

        Subject to the discussion below concerning backup withholding, a Non-U.S. holder of an exchange note generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on gain realized on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of such note unless:

    such holder is an individual who is present in the U.S. for 183 days or more in the taxable year of disposition, and certain other conditions are met (in which case, the Non-U.S. holder will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at a rate of 30% (or a reduced rate under an applicable treaty) on the amount by which capital gains allocable to U.S. sources exceed capital losses allocable to U.S. sources);

    such gain represents accrued but unpaid interest not previously included in income, in which case the rules regarding interest would apply; or

    such gain is effectively connected with the conduct by such Non-U.S. holder of a trade or business in the U.S. and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a United States permanent establishment maintained by such Non-U.S. Holder (in which case, the Non-U.S. holder will generally be taxed on its net gain derived from the disposition at the regular graduated U.S. federal income tax rates and in much the same manner applicable to U.S. persons and, if the Non-U.S. holder is a foreign corporation, the "branch profits tax" described above may also apply).

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

        Unless certain exceptions apply, we must report annually to the IRS and to each Non-U.S. holder any interest paid to the Non-U.S. holder. Copies of these information returns may also be made available under the provisions of a specific treaty or other agreement to the tax authorities of the country in which the Non-U.S. holder resides.

        Under current U.S. federal income tax law, backup withholding tax will not apply to payments of interest by us or our paying agent on an exchange note if the certifications described above under "—Non-U.S. Holders—Payments of Interest" are received, provided

160



that we or our paying agent, as the case may be, do not have actual knowledge or reason to know that the payee is a U.S. person.

        Payments on the sale, exchange or other disposition of an exchange note made to or through a non-U.S. office of a non-U.S. broker generally will not be subject to backup withholding or information reporting unless the non-U.S. broker has certain types of relationships with the United States (a "U.S. related person"). In the case of payment of on the sale, exchange or other disposition of the exchange notes to or through a non-U.S. office of a broker that is either a U.S. person or a U.S. related person, the Treasury regulations require information reporting (but not backup withholding) on the payment unless the broker has in its records documentary evidence that the beneficial owner is not a U.S. person and certain other conditions are met or the beneficial owner otherwise establishes an exemption. Backup withholding may apply to any payment that such broker is required to report if the broker has actual knowledge or reason to know that the payee is a U.S. person. Payments to or through the U.S. office of a broker will be subject to backup withholding and information reporting unless the holder certifies, under penalties of perjury, that it is not a U.S. person or otherwise establishes an exemption.

        Backup withholding is not an additional tax: any amounts withheld from a payment to a Non-U.S. holder under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a credit against such holder's U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such holder to a refund, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS. Non-U.S. holders of exchange notes should consult their tax advisors regarding the application of information reporting and backup withholding in their particular situations, the availability of an exemption from backup withholding and the procedure for obtaining such an exemption, if available.

        The foregoing discussion is for general information only and is not tax advice. Accordingly, you should consult your tax advisor as to the particular tax consequences to you of holding and disposing of the exchange notes, including the applicability and effect of any state, local, or non-U.S. tax laws and any tax treaty and any recent or prospective changes in any applicable tax laws or treaties.

161



PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

        Each broker-dealer that receives exchange notes for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such exchange notes. This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of exchange notes received in exchange for initial notes where such initial notes were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities. The issuer, the guarantors and the subordinated guarantor have agreed that, for a period of 120 days after the expiration date, they will make this prospectus, as amended or supplemented, available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale. In addition, until              , 2006, all dealers effecting transactions in the exchange notes may be required to deliver a prospectus.

        The issuer, the guarantors and the subordinated guarantor will not receive any proceeds from any sale of exchange notes by broker-dealers. Exchange notes received by broker-dealers for their own account pursuant to the exchange offer may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, through the writing of options on the exchange notes or a combination of such methods of resale, at market prices prevailing at the time of resale, at prices related to-such prevailing market prices or negotiated prices. Any such resale may be made directly to purchasers or to or through brokers or dealers who may receive compensation in the form of commissions or concessions from any such broker-dealer or the purchasers of any such exchange notes. Any broker-dealer that resells exchange notes that were received by it for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer and any broker or dealer that participates in a distribution of such exchange notes may be deemed to be an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act and any profit on any such resale of exchange notes and any commission or concessions received by any such persons may be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act. The letter of transmittal states that, by acknowledging that it will deliver and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act.

        For a period of 120 days after the expiration date the issuer, the guarantors and the subordinated guarantor will promptly send additional copies of this prospectus and any amendment or supplement to this prospectus to any broker-dealer that requests such documents in the letter of transmittal. The issuer, the guarantors and the subordinated guarantor have agreed to pay all expenses incident to the exchange offer other than commissions or concessions of any brokers or dealers and transfer taxes and will indemnify the holders of the securities (including any broker-dealers) against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

162

WILLIAMS SCOTSMAN INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)

1.    Organization and Basis of Presentation

        Williams Scotsman International, Inc., formerly known as Scotsman Holdings, Inc. ("Holdings" or when including Williams Scotsman, Inc., the "Company") was organized in November 1993 for the purpose of acquiring Williams Scotsman, Inc. ("Scotsman"). Holdings conducts business solely as a holding company, the only significant asset of which is the capital stock of Scotsman. Therefore, any cash dividends to be paid on Holdings' common stock, or cash interest to be paid on the debt of the Company are dependent upon the cash flow of Scotsman.

        The operations of the Company consist primarily of the leasing and sale of mobile offices, modular buildings and storage products (equipment) and their delivery and installation throughout the United States, Canada, and certain parts of Mexico.

2.    Financial Statements

        In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Company's consolidated financial position as of March 31, 2006, the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 2006 and 2005. The results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results expected for the full year.

        The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

        Effective September 12, 2005, the Company amended its certificate of incorporation to authorize the issuance of 200 million shares of common stock and 20 million shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share. The Board of Directors also approved a 3.803 for 1 stock split. All share and per share amounts have been retroactively restated in the accompanying 2005 financial statements to reflect the stock split.

3.    Acquisition of American Homes Internacional, S.A. de C.V.

        On February 17, 2006, the Company acquired American Homes Internacional, S.A. de C.V., a Monterrey, Mexico-based company that leased and sold mobile office units. This purchase resulted in the acquisition of approximately 300 units and the related customer base. The transaction was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting with a purchase price of $5.1 million. The excess purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net tangible assets purchased was $2.4 million. The allocation of the purchase price is based on preliminary estimates, subject to revision, after asset values have been finalized. Revisions to

F-5



the allocation will be reported as changes to various assets and liabilities including goodwill and other intangible assets.

4.    Stock-Based Compensation

        From time to time, the Company issues options to key employees under stock option plans approved by the Company's board of directors. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123-R, Share-Based Payment (SFAS No. 123-R), using the modified prospective transition method. Under that transition method, compensation cost recognized in the quarter ended March 31, 2006 includes compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, Stock Based Compensation (SFAS No. 123). Because the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 and SFAS No. 123-R were materially consistent under the Company's equity plans, the adoption of SFAS No. 123-R did not have a significant impact on the Company's financial position or its results of operations. See Footnote 1 to the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a discussion of the assumptions used to compute the fair market value of options. Prior to the Company's adoption of SFAS No. 123-R, benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation costs were reported as operating cash flows. SFAS No. 123-R requires excess tax benefits be reported as a financing cash flow rather than as an operating cash flow.

        Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2006 includes $487 of compensation costs and $191 of income tax benefits related to the Company's stock-based compensation arrangements. Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2005 includes $93 of compensation costs and $36 of income tax benefits related to the Company's stock-based compensation arrangements.

        Stock options.    All options issued under plans other than the Company's 2005 Omnibus Award Plan are vested. Under the Company's 2005 Omnibus Award Plan, nonqualified stock options have been granted to officers and employees. One half of employee stock options vest over four years and expire ten years from the date of grant. The other half of these options vest over four years, contingent upon certain performance goals of the Company being met, and expire ten years from the date of grant. No stock options were granted during the three months ended March 31, 2006, and 173,987 stock options were granted during the three months ended March 31, 2005.

        Compensation expense related to options is being amortized straight line over the vesting period. As of March 31, 2006, there was $3,279 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to share-based payments. These costs are expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.5 years.

        During the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, the following activity occurred under our plans:

 
  Three Months Ended March 31,
 
  2006
  2005
Total intrinsic value of stock options exercised   $ 13,557   $
Total fair value of stock options vested        

        Cash received from stock option exercises for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $2,239. The income tax benefits from stock option exercises totaled $4,170 for the three months ended March 31, 2006. The Company uses the tax law method to determine the ordering of available tax benefits when assessing the realization of stock based compensation deductions.

        Restricted Stock Units.    Also under the 2005 Omnibus Award Plan, the Company has previously awarded members of its board of directors restricted stock units (RSU). These RSU awards fully vest in six months from the award date, and are settled at that time in shares of the Company's common stock. The shares received in respect of the RSU awards cannot be sold or transferred until one year after the recipient has ceased to serve as a director of the Company. For the three months ended March 31, 2006, 14,060 RSU's have vested while 2,812 RSU's remain unvested. The remaining unvested RSU's will vest in less than 90 days. The

F-7



resulting compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2006 related to these RSU's was not material.

        Employee Stock Purchase Plan.    The Company has an employee stock purchase plan for all eligible employees. Under this plan, shares of the Company's common stock may be purchased by employees at six-month intervals at 95.25% of the quoted market value on the day before the last day of each six-month period. During the three months ended March 31, 2006, the Company delivered 5,681 shares to its employees under its employee stock purchase plan. As of March 31, 2006, 994,319 shares were reserved for future issuance under this plan.

5.    Revolving Credit Facility and Long-Term Debt

        Debt consists of the following:

 
  March 31, 2006
  December 31, 2005
Borrowings under revolving credit facility   $ 363,993   $ 364,150
Term loan     150,000     150,000
8.5% senior notes     350,000     350,000
10.0% senior secured notes     1,800     1,800
Capital lease obligations     3,962     3,496
   
 
    $ 869,755   $ 869,446
   
 

        The Company's Amended and Restated Credit Facility (including the term loan and revolver commitment) was $650 million at March 31, 2006. Excess availability calculated in accordance with this facility was $115 million at March 31, 2006. Borrowings under our credit facility, which are based upon a borrowing base calculation, are secured by a first priority lien on and security interest in our rental equipment, accounts receivable, property and equipment and other assets. Our credit facility contains affirmative and negative covenants customary for such financings including restrictions on the amount of dividends that Scotsman and its subsidiaries can pay to Holdings. In addition, if Scotsman does not meet certain excess availability requirements, we will be required to comply with a senior secured leverage ratio, a consolidated interest coverage ratio and a minimum utilization test. During the quarter ended March 31, 2006, Scotsman met the excess availability requirements and did not have to comply with the financial covenants.

        On April 12, 2006, Scotsman entered into an amendment to its Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The amendment extends the maturity of the Amended and Restated Credit Facility to April 12, 2011, provides for more favorable borrowing base calculations and revises the restrictive covenants to grant the Company greater flexibility to incur debt and make acquisitions and revises the change of control provisions. In addition, the amendment changes the interest rate on borrowings under the revolver and term loan from a rate of either prime plus 1% or the Eurodollar rate plus 2.5% to either prime plus 0.50% or the

F-8



Eurodollar rate plus 2.0%. The interest rate margin is also subject to pricing adjustments based on excess availability and a ratio of total funded debt to EBITDA as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

        In addition, on April 18, 2006, Scotsman issued $100 million of additional 8.5% Senior Notes due 2015 at a cash price of 101.75% of their principal amount. Also, on May 10, 2006, the Company priced a public offering of 8,687,646 shares of its common stock at $26.25 per share. Of the shares, 2,101,724 shares were offered by the Company and are expected to result in proceeds to the Company of approximately $50.9 million (net of underwriting fees and other offering expenses of approximately $4.3 million). In addition, 6,585,922 shares were offered by selling stockholders of the Company which include related parties of The Cypress Group L.L.C. and Keystone Group, L.P. and certain members of senior management. Approximately 316,000 stock options are expected to be exercised and sold by management as a result of this offering resulting in additional net proceeds to the Company of $1.6 million. In addition, underwriters have the option to purchase up to an additional 1,303,147 shares of common stock from the selling stockholders at the public offering price less the underwriting discount. On May 15, 2006, the underwriters exercised their option to purchase the additional shares. The offering is expected to close on or about May 16, 2006. The Company used its proceeds from the $100 million of additional 8.5% Senior Notes and expects to use its proceeds from the stock offering to repay a portion of its indebtedness under the revolver portion of the Amended and Restated Credit Facility and pay related fees and expenses.

7.    Comprehensive Income (Loss)

        A summary of the components of comprehensive income (loss) for the three month periods ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 is presented below.

 
  Three Months Ended March 31,
 
 
  2006
  2005
 
Net income (loss)   $ 10,433   $ (818 )
Change in currency translation     (448 )   (1,052 )
   
 
 
Comprehensive income (loss)   $ 9,985   $ (1,870 )
   
 
 

8.    Earnings Per Share

        Earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods. The following table sets forth the

F-10



components of the weighted-average shares outstanding for the basic and diluted earnings per share computations:

 
  Three months ended March 31,
 
  2006
  2005
Weighted-average shares—basic earnings per share   39,361,922   23,558,821
Effect of employee stock options   1,445,160  
   
 
Weighted-average shares—diluted earnings per share   40,807,082   23,558,821
   
 

        Common stock equivalents of 1,404,798 were excluded from the weighted average shares-diluted for the three month period ended March 31, 2005 due to their anti-dilutive nature.

9.    Contingencies

        The Company is involved in various lawsuits and claims arising out of the normal course of its business. The nature of the Company's business is such that disputes occasionally arise with vendors, including suppliers and subcontractors, and customers over warranties, contract specifications and contract interpretations among other things. The Company assesses these matters on a case-by-case basis as they arise. Reserves are established, as required, based on the Company's assessment of its exposure. The Company has insurance policies to cover general liability and workers compensation related claims. In the opinion of management, the ultimate amount of liability not covered by insurance, if any, under pending litigation and claims will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position or operating results of the Company.

        In January 2003, the Company was awarded a contract to construct and renovate classrooms in an elementary school located in New Jersey. The Company contracted with various subcontractors for certain components of the project. During the course of the construction, the modular units were impacted by weather conditions, including torrential rains, from which the units were not properly protected by the subcontractors performing the work. As a result, damage to the units resulted. In order to ensure that these damages would be repaired and completed in advance of the school term, the Company promptly repaired the damage. The Company and its legal counsel have determined that the subcontractors are responsible for the damages, and are currently seeking full recovery for costs incurred from the parties involved. In addition, the Company has builders risk insurance to cover some portion of the claim for which the Company has received approximately $500 during 2005. The Company is pursuing these claims vigorously, expects to be reimbursed for the remaining damages and believes that recovery of these amounts is probable and will be received in the next 12 months. As of March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the Company recorded amounts due of $1,058. These amounts are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Company's consolidated balance sheet.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Williams Scotsman International, Inc.

        We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Williams Scotsman International, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

        We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

        In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Williams Scotsman International, Inc. and subsidiaries at December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Williams Scotsman International, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)

December 31, 2005

1.    Organization and Basis of Presentation

        Williams Scotsman International, Inc. ("Williams Scotsman International") was organized in November 1993 for the purpose of acquiring Williams Scotsman, Inc. ("Scotsman"). The operations of Williams Scotsman International and its subsidiary (collectively "the Company"), consist of the leasing and sale of mobile offices, storage products, and their delivery and installation. The Company's operations include Scotsman's 100% owned subsidiaries, Willscot Equipment, LLC ("Willscot"), Williams Scotsman of Canada, Inc., Williams Scotsman Mexico S. de R.L. de C.V., and Williams Scotsman Europe S.L. Willscot, a special purpose subsidiary, was formed in May 1997; its operations are limited to the leasing of its mobile office units to Scotsman under a master lease. Additionally, Willscot has entered into a management agreement with Scotsman whereby it pays a fee to Scotsman in an amount equal to the rental and other income (net of depreciation expense) it earns from Scotsman. Therefore, Willscot earns no net income.

        The operations of the Company consist primarily of the leasing and sale of mobile offices, modular buildings and storage products (equipment) and their delivery and installation throughout the United States, Canada, and certain parts of Mexico.

        On May 25, 2005, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, a Certificate of Amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation. The amendment changed the name of the Company from Scotsman Holdings, Inc. to Williams Scotsman International, Inc.

2.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a)   Use of Estimates

        The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

(b)   Principles of Consolidation

        The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Williams Scotsman International and its 100% owned subsidiaries. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

(c)   Fair Value of Financial Instruments

        Because of their short-term nature, the amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheet for cash, receivables, the revolving credit facility and accounts payable approximate fair value. The investment in Wiron is not readily marketable and it is not practicable to estimate its fair value. The fair value of long-term debt is based on quoted market prices. As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, the fair market value and cost of the Company's long-term debt, net were $505,449 and $505,296 and $933,689 and $928,178, respectively. The Company does

F-21



not have a significant amount of credit risk associated with the fair value of its assets and liabilities.

(d)   Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

        The Company's accounts receivable consist of amounts due from customers throughout the United States, Canada, and certain parts of Mexico. Collateral is generally not required. The Company provides for the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable through a charge to operations in amounts equal to the estimated losses expected to be incurred in collection of the accounts. The estimated losses are based on historical collection experience, days sales outstanding trends, and a review of specific past due receivables. Customer accounts are written-off against the allowance for doubtful accounts when an account is determined to be uncollectible.

(e)   Leasing Operations

        Equipment is leased generally under operating leases and, occasionally, under sales-type lease arrangements. Operating lease terms generally range from 3 months to 60 months, and contractually averaged approximately 15 months at December 31, 2005. Rents billed in advance are initially deferred and recognized as revenue over the term of the operating leases. Rental equipment is depreciated by the straight-line method using an estimated economic useful life of generally 20 years and an estimated residual value of typically 50%.

        Costs of improvements and betterments are capitalized, whereas costs of replacement items, repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Costs incurred for equipment to meet particular lease specifications are capitalized and depreciated over the lease term. However, costs aggregating less than $1 per unit are generally expensed as incurred.

(f)    Property and Equipment

        Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method over estimated useful lives ranging from 15 to 40 years for buildings and improvements and 3 to 10 years for furniture and equipment. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

(g)   Deferred Financing Costs

        Direct and incremental costs of obtaining debt are capitalized and amortized using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest rate method, over the term of the related debt.

(h)   Goodwill

        Goodwill is initially measured as the excess of the cost of an acquired business over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. The Company does not amortize goodwill,

F-22



but rather reviews its carrying value for impairment annually, and whenever an impairment indicator is identified.

        The goodwill impairment test involves a two-step approach. Under the first step, the Company determines the fair value of each reporting unit to which goodwill has been assigned. The geographically based operating segments of the Company are the reporting units for the impairment test. The Company compares the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. The Company estimates the fair values of its reporting units by utilizing market operating data multiples of similar publicly traded companies, as well as our own. If the estimated fair value exceeds the carrying value, no impairment loss is recognized. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value, goodwill is considered potentially impaired and the second step is completed in order to measure the impairment loss. Under the second step, the Company calculates the implied fair value of goodwill by deducting the fair value of all tangible and intangible net assets, including any unrecognized intangible assets, of the reporting unit from the fair value of the reporting unit as determined in the first step. The Company then compares the implied fair value of goodwill to the carrying value of goodwill. If the implied fair value of goodwill is less than the carrying value of goodwill, the Company recognizes an impairment loss equal to the difference.

(i)    Other Intangible Assets

        Intangible assets consist principally of non-compete agreements and customer relationships acquired in business combinations. These intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives ranging from 24 months to 228 months. Amortization expense was approximately $800 and $700 in 2005 and 2004, respectively. The weighted-average remaining life of these identified intangible assets is 65 months.

(j)    Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

        Long-lived assets, including amortizable intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets may not be fully recoverable. These events or changes in circumstances may include a significant deterioration of operating results, changes in business plans, or changes in anticipated future cash flows. If an impairment indicator is present, the Company evaluates recoverability by a comparison of the carrying amount of the assets to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. Assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there is identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows generated by other asset groups. If the assets are impaired, the impairment recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the assets. Fair value is generally determined by estimates of discounted cash flows. The discount rate used in any estimate of discounted cash flows would be the rate required for a similar investment of like risk.

F-23



        Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying value or fair values, less estimated costs of disposal.

(k)   Stock-based Compensation

        Effective January 1, 2003, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 (SFAS No. 123), Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. The Company selected the modified prospective method of adoption described in SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock—Compensation-Transition and Disclosure (SFAS No. 148). Gross compensation cost recognized related to stock-based compensation for the year ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 was $3,756, $736 and $766, respectively.

        The weighted-average fair value of options granted in 2005, 2004, and 2003 were $7.59, $5.11, and $5.46, respectively. The following assumptions were used to compute these fair values using the Cox Ross Rubinstein binomial model at each grant date:

 
  2005
  2004
  2003
 
Risk-free interest rate   4.13 % 3.85 % 2.97 %
Expected life in years   5.00–6.25   5.00   5.00  
Volatility   46.4 % 42.9 % 45.2 %
Dividend yield   0 % 0 % 0 %

        As a result of the Company's initial public offering in September 2005, the Company has utilized a simplified method for determining the expected term of the options in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107. This simplified method calculates the expected term of the options as the sum of the vesting term and original contract term of the option divided by two. This method applies to both the Company's time-based and performance vesting options issued in September 2005, as the Company believes that performance options will be exercised in a pattern consistent with time-based options. Prior to the Company's initial public offering, the expected term was estimated using historical data that considered expected changes in ownership of the Company that would accelerate option vesting.

        During 2005, the Company recorded $2,387 of stock compensation expense related to the accelerated vesting of options as a result of the Company's initial public offering. During 2004 and 2003, a modification was made for the continuation of certain employees' options after their termination from the Company. The weighted-average fair value of their modified options, risk free interest rate at the modification date, expected life and volatility (as estimated based upon a historical average of comparable stock indices) was $7.93, 2.78%, 3.11 years, and 39.9% for 2004 and $9.23, 2.06%, 3.81 years, and 45.3% for 2003, respectively.

(l)    Income Taxes

        Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of

F-24



existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in net income in the period that includes the enactment date.

(m)  Advertising costs

        Advertising costs are generally expensed as incurred. Advertising expense for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003 was $4,622, $4,345, and $3,935, respectively, and is included in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

(n)   Earnings Per Share

        The following table sets forth the components of the weighted-average shares outstanding for the basic and diluted earnings per share computations:

 
  2005
  2004
  2003
Weighted-average shares-basic   27,763,324   23,558,805   23,558,805
Effect of employee stock options      
   
 
 
Weighted-average shares-diluted   27,763,324   23,558,805   23,558,805
   
 
 

        Common stock equivalents of approximately 1,243,552, 1,296,823 and 1,350,065 were excluded from the weighted-average shares-diluted total for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively, due to their anti-dilutive nature, which resulted from the Company's net loss for such periods.

(o)   Revenue Recognition

        The Company earns revenue from leasing, sales of new and used rental equipment, and delivery and installation services. Where applicable, the Company's revenue recognition policy takes into consideration the guidance of Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 00-21, Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables.

        Revenue from delivery and installation services associated with rental activities is generally recognized upon their completion, as the Company has objective evidence of the fair value of the remaining equipment leasing element of the arrangements. This evidence consists of rental rates associated with units leased without corresponding delivery and installation services. Leasing revenue is recognized ratably over the lease term. Billings in excess of earned revenue is recorded as deferred revenue in the balance sheet caption, "rents billed in advance."

F-25


        Revenue from the sale of new units and used rental equipment, including delivery and installation revenue, is generally recognized at the time the units are installed. Certain arrangements to sell units under long-term construction-type sales contracts are recognized under the percentage of completion method. Under this method, income is recognized in proportion to the incurred costs to date under the contract compared to estimated total costs.

        Sales of new units are typically covered by warranties provided by the manufacturer of products sold. The Company provides a limited 30-day warranty for certain sales of rental equipment. The Company's warranty expense is estimated and accrued at the time of sale. Warranty expense was not material for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003.

        Other revenue consists principally of revenue from the rental or sale of ancillary items associated with the rental or sale of related equipment. These items typically consist of steps, ramps and other products, insurance waivers and other miscellaneous revenue. If these items are associated with equipment under operating leases, revenue is recognized over the related lease term. Otherwise, revenue is recognized when the item is delivered or the service is performed.

(p)   Foreign Currency Translation

        The financial statements of Scotsman's foreign subsidiaries for which the local currency is the functional currency have been translated into U.S. dollars in accordance SFAS No. 52, Foreign Currency Translation. Assets and liabilities have been translated using the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Income statement amounts have been translated using the average exchange rates during the year. Translation gains and losses resulting from the changes in exchange rates from year-to-year have been reported in other comprehensive income. The effect on the consolidated statements of operations of all transaction gains and losses is insignificant for all years presented.

(q)   Business Segment

        The Company manages its operations on a geographic basis. Financial results of geographic regions are aggregated into one reportable segment since their operations have similar economic characteristics. These characteristics include similar products and services, processes for delivering these services, type or class of customer, and long-term average gross margins.

(r)    Recent Accounting Pronouncements

        In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No.123 (revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment" ("SFAS No. 123-R"), which is a revision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Generally, the approach in SFAS No. 123-R is similar to the approach described in SFAS No. 123. In April 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission provided for a phased-in implementation of SFAS No. 123-R. Under this revised guidance, the effective date for application of SFAS No. 123-R has been

F-26



postponed until no later than the beginning of the first fiscal year after June 15, 2005, or January 1, 2006 for the Company. The Company intends to elect the modified prospective method of adopting SFAS No. 123-R, which requires the recognition of expense over the remaining vesting period for the portion of awards not fully vested as of January 1, 2006. As the Company currently applies the fair value method under SFAS No. 123, the Company does not anticipate that the adoption of SFAS No. 123-R will have a material impact on its financial statements.

        Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. The effect of these reclassifications is not material to the consolidated financial statements.

3.    Acquisitions

Acquisition of Mobile Space Inc.

        On February 24, 2005, the Company acquired Mobile Space Inc., a Chicago-based company that leased and sold modular space units. This purchase resulted in the acquisition of approximately 640 units and the related customer base. The transaction was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting with a purchase price of $4,800, of which approximately $710 was recorded as an increase to goodwill. The acquisition was financed with borrowings under the Company's credit facility.

Minority Investment in Wiron Construcciones Modulares, SA

        On July 28, 2004, the Company, through Scotsman's 100% owned subsidiary, Williams Scotsman Europe, S.L., acquired an 8.5% minority interest in Wiron Construcciones Modulares, SA., ("Wiron") headquartered in Parla, Spain and secured a right of first refusal to acquire any or all of the shares of Wiron in the future. Wiron is one of the largest modular space providers in Spain with branches located in all major cities throughout the country. The Company acquired its 8.5% minority interest for approximately $4,700, which includes acquisition related costs. The Company accounts for this minority investment using the cost method. There were no events or changes in circumstances that had a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investment during the year ended December 31, 2005. As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company's investment in Wiron approximated $4,541 and $4,797, respectively, and is included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2005, the Company has on lease to Wiron approximately $2,000 of rental equipment. Rental income from these leases was approximately $80 for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Purchase of California Classroom Units

        On March 26, 2004, the Company acquired nearly 3,800 relocatable Division of State Architect classroom units located in the state of California from Transport International Pool, Inc. (d/b/a GE Modular Space) for approximately $43,500. The assets were acquired using available funds under the Company's revolving credit facility. The acquisition included the purchase of units, equipment associated with these classroom units as well as rights under all outstanding leases related to these classroom units and certain other assets. The Company did not acquire employees, physical facilities, sales force, or other business related items. In addition, the customer base, which is primarily related to public and private educational institutions in the State of California, is similar to, and in many cases duplicative of, the Company's existing customer base. As a result, the Company considers the purchase of these assets an asset purchase rather than an acquisition of a business.

Acquisition of AFA Locations Inc.

        On May 29, 2003, the Company acquired AFA Locations Inc. ("AFA"), a privately-held, Montreal, Canadian-based company that was involved in the leasing of mobile offices built by the manufacturing operations of AFA's consolidated entity. The purchase of the leasing business resulted in the acquisition of approximately 300 units at a value of approximately $2,600 and the related customer base. The transaction was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting with a net purchase price of approximately $3,200 and $600 of goodwill. The acquisition was financed with borrowings under the Company's credit facility.

F-29


        On June 28, 2005, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit facility, the net proceeds of which were used to refinance the then existing credit agreement. The amended and restated credit facility provides for a $500,000 revolving credit facility and a $150,000 term loan, both maturing on June 28, 2010. Interest on borrowings under the revolver and term loan is payable at a rate of either prime plus 1% or the Eurodollar rate plus 2.5%. The interest rate margin is subject to pricing adjustments based on excess availability and a ratio defined in the credit agreement. In connection with the refinancing, approximately $5,200 of deferred financing costs related to the prior credit facility were expensed immediately and included in loss on early extinguishment of debt. The weighted-average interest rates of the revolver under the credit agreement were 6.37% and 5.55% at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The weighted-average interest rates of the term loan under the credit agreement were 6.64% and 5.18% at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

        Borrowings under the amended and restated credit facility, which are based upon a borrowing base calculation, are secured by a first priority lien on and security interest in the Company's rental equipment, accounts receivable, property and equipment, and other assets. The amended and restated credit facility contains affirmative and negative covenants customary for such financings including restrictions on the amount of dividends that Scotsman can pay to Williams Scotsman International. In addition, if the Company does not meet certain excess availability requirements, it will be required to comply with a senior secured leverage ratio, a consolidated interest coverage ratio and a minimum utilization test. As of December 31, 2005, the Company met the excess availability requirements and did not have to comply with the financial covenants. Excess availability calculated in accordance with the credit agreement under this facility was approximately $115,400 at December 31, 2005. The Company believes it will have sufficient liquidity under its revolving line of credit and from cash generated from operations to fund its operations for at least the next 12 months.

        On September 29, 2005, Scotsman issued $350,000 of 8.5% Senior Notes due 2015. The Company used the net proceeds of approximately $340,900 received from this offering together with the proceeds from the Company's initial public offering and the borrowings under the amended and restated credit facility to repurchase or redeem the 9.875% Notes due 2007 (the "9.875% Notes") and repurchase $148,200 of the 10.0% Notes due 2008 (the "10.0% Notes"). The repurchase or redemption of the 9.875% and 10.0% Notes (together, the "Notes") was conducted through a tender offer and consent solicitation whereby the Company offered to purchase all outstanding 10.0% Notes at a cash price of 109.522% of the aggregate principal amount of such notes and all outstanding 9.875% Notes at a cash purchase price of 100.5% of the aggregate principal amount of such notes plus accrued and unpaid interest. In connection with the tender offer of the Notes, the Company purchased the 9.875% Notes and $148,200 of the 10% Notes. In connection with the debt extinguishment, $30,678 in deferred financing fees and premium costs related to the tender offer and the extinguished debt were expensed and included in loss on early extinguishment of debt.

F-30



        The 8.5% Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by Williams Scotsman International and certain subsidiaries of Scotsman. Willscot has fully and unconditionally guaranteed the 8.5% Notes on a subordinated basis. None of the foreign subsidiaries of Scotsman (other than its Canadian subsidiary) guarantee the notes. The 8.5% Notes are due on October 1, 2015, with interest payable semi-annually on April 1 and October 1 of each year. On October 1, 2010, the 8.5% Notes will become redeemable at the option of the Company, at a redemption price of 104.25% during the 12 month period beginning October 1, 2010 declining to 100.0% during the 12 month period beginning October 1, 2013 and thereafter.

        Letter of credit obligations at December 31, 2005 and 2004 were approximately $20,464 and $10,670, respectively. Maturities of debt during the years subsequent to December 31, 2005 are $662 in 2006, $665 in 2007, $2,462 in 2008, $569 in 2009, $514,461 in 2010, and $350,627 thereafter.

7.    Stockholders' Equity

        On September 23, 2005, the Company completed an initial public offering of 14,705,882 shares of common stock. Further, on October 18, 2005, the underwriters exercised over-allotment options to purchase 400,000 shares of the Company's common stock. Total proceeds of the initial public offering and over-allotment options was $223,092 (net of underwriting fees and other offering expenses of $18,602). In addition, in connection with the initial public offering, 454,365 stock options were exercised by management of the Company and sold, resulting in additional net proceeds to the Company of $945. The Company recorded an excess income tax benefit of approximately $2,300 related to the exercise of these stock options as additional paid-in capital. Proceeds of the initial public offering were used to reduce debt.

8.    Income Taxes

        Deferred income taxes related to temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and the respective amounts reported in the financial statements are summarized as follows:

 
  December 31

  Net operating loss carryovers     102,955     109,380  
  Alternative minimum tax credit carryovers     1,760     1,760  
  Other     2,216     1,330  
   
 
 
      122,636     126,341  
  Less: valuation allowance     (2,314 )   (5,232 )

Net deferred tax liabilities   $ 141,020   $ 150,415  
   
 
 

        At December 31, 2005, the Company had net operating loss carryovers available for federal and foreign income tax purposes of approximately $265,000. These net operating loss carryovers expire at various dates from 2006 to 2025.

        Net operating loss carryovers in the amount of $7,800, $371, and $774, expired in 2005, 2004, and 2003, respectively. A valuation allowance of $2,314 is recorded based on the expected expiration of additional net operating loss carryovers. Alternative minimum tax credit carryovers of approximately $1,760 are available without expiration limitations.

The provision for income taxes is reconciled to the amount computed by applying the U.S. Federal statutory corporate tax rate of 35% to loss before income taxes as follows:

 
  Year ended December 31
 
 
  2005
  2004
  2003
 
Income tax expense (benefit) at statutory rate   $ (5,901 ) $ 61   $ (6,585 )

    $ (6,537 ) $ 3,586   $ (7,131 )
   
 
 
 

        During 2004, the income tax expense increased by $2,549 related to a change in the estimate of the future effects of state income taxes on cumulative temporary differences, resulting from a change in the estimated income apportionment among states in which the Company does business.

F-33



        The components of income (loss) from consolidated operations before income taxes is as follows:

 
  Year ended December 31

    $ (16,861 ) $ 175   $ (18,813 )
   
 
 
 

        Deferred U.S. income taxes have not been recorded for basis differences related to investments in foreign subsidiaries. These basis differences were approximately $29.3 million at December 31, 2005 and consisted primarily of undistributed earnings. Those earnings are considered to be indefinitely reinvested and, accordingly, no U.S. federal and state income taxes have been provided thereon. Upon distribution of those earnings in the form of dividends or otherwise, the Company would be subject to both U.S. income taxes (subject to an adjustment for foreign tax credits) and withholding taxes payable to the various foreign countries. Determination of the deferred income tax liability on these unremitted earnings is not practicable because such liability, if any, is dependent on circumstances existing if and when remittance occurs.

9.    Commitments and Contingencies

        The Company is obligated under noncancelable leases for certain equipment, vehicles and parcels of land. At December 31, 2005 approximate future minimum rental payments are as follows:

 
  Operating Leases
  Capital Leases
2006   $ 6,623   $ 875
2007     4,969     875
2008     3,680     867
2009     2,683     749
2010     1,976     434
Thereafter     6,795     967
   
 
      26,726     4,767
Less: Amounts representing interest         1,271
   
 
Total minimum future lease payments   $ 26,726   $ 3,496
   
 

        Rent expense was $13,555, in 2005, $12,869, in 2004, and $13,155, in 2003.

        The Company maintains insurance coverage for its operations and employees with appropriate aggregate, per occurrence and deductible limits as the Company reasonably determines is necessary or prudent with current operations and historical experience. The

F-34



majority of these coverages have large deductible amounts which allow for potential improved cash flow benefits based on the Company's loss control efforts. The current per incident deductibles are $125 for employee group health insurance and $500 for worker's compensation, auto, and general liability, respectively.

        The Company expenses the deductible portion of the individual claims. However, the Company generally does not know the full amount of its exposure to a deductible in connection with any particular claim during the fiscal period in which the claim is incurred and for which the Company must make an accrual for the deductible expense. The Company makes these accruals based on a combination of the claims review by its staff and insurance companies, and, periodically, the accrual is reviewed and adjusted based on the Company's loss experience. A high degree of judgment is required in developing these estimates of amounts to be accrued, as well as in connection with the underlying assumptions. In addition, the Company's assumptions will change as its loss experience is developed. All of these factors have the potential for significantly impacting the amounts the Company has previously reserved in respect of anticipated deductible expenses, and the Company may be required in the future to increase or decrease amounts previously accrued.

        Currently, the Company is involved in various lawsuits and claims arising out of the normal course of its business. The nature of the Company's business is such that disputes occasionally arise with vendors, including suppliers and subcontractors, and customers over warranties, contract specifications and contract interpretations among other things. The Company assesses these matters on a case-by-case basis as they arise. Reserves are established, as required, based on the Company's assessment of its exposure. As noted above, the Company has insurance policies to cover general liability and workers compensation related claims. In the opinion of management, the ultimate amount of liability not covered by insurance, if any, under pending litigation and claims will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position or operating results of the Company.

        In January 2003, the Company was awarded a contract to construct and renovate classrooms in an elementary school located in New Jersey. The Company contracted with various subcontractors for certain components of the project. During the course of the construction, the modular units were impacted by weather conditions, including torrential rains, from which the units were not properly protected by the subcontractors performing the work. As a result, damage to the units resulted. In order to ensure that these damages would be repaired and completed in advance of the school term, the Company promptly repaired the damage. The Company and its legal counsel have determined that the subcontractors are responsible for the damages, and are currently seeking full recovery for costs incurred from the parties involved. In addition, the Company has builders risk insurance to cover some portion of the claim for which the Company has received approximately $500 during 2005. The Company is pursuing these claims vigorously, expects to be reimbursed for the remaining damages and believes that recovery of these amounts is probable and will be received in the next 12 months. As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company recorded amounts due of

F-35



$1,058 and $1,600, respectively. These amounts are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Company's consolidated balance sheet.

10.    Employee Benefit Plans

        The Company has adopted a defined contribution plan (the "401(k) Plan") which is intended to satisfy the tax qualification requirements of Sections 401(a), 401(k), and 401(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"). The 401(k) Plan covers substantially all employees and permits participants to contribute up to the dollar limit described in Section 402(g) of the Code ($14 in 2005). All amounts deferred under this salary reduction feature are fully vested. In accordance with the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Act of 2001, the Plan also allows employees over the age of 50 to contribute an additional $4 as a "catch-up contribution."

        The 401(k) Plan has a "matching" contribution feature under which the Company may contribute a percentage of the amount deferred by each participant, excluding the "catch-up contribution." Such percentage, if any, is determined by Company management at its discretion. The Plan also has a discretionary "profit sharing" feature, under which the Company may contribute, at its discretion, an additional amount allocable to the accounts of active participants meeting the aforementioned eligibility requirements. Company contributions to the 401(k) Plan participant vest ratably during the first five years of a participant's employment and 100% thereafter. Matching contributions by the Company to the 401(k) Plan were $582 in 2005, $315 in 2004, and $261 in 2003. The Company temporarily eliminated the 401(k) employer match in April 2003 as part of a cost reduction initiative. On January 1, 2004, the Company reinstated the employer match program for 401(k) contributions. No contributions have been made by the Company under the profit-sharing feature.

        The Company has adopted a Deferred Compensation Plan for Executives which is meant to be an unfunded deferred compensation plan maintained for a select group of management within the meaning of Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(1) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This plan allows key employees to defer a specified amount of their compensation until termination or upon the occurrence of other specified events. All amounts credited to participants' accounts are deemed invested in the investment vehicles of the employee's choice. As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, the total amount deferred under this plan, including earnings, was approximately $321 and $541, respectively.

        The Company's has awarded members of its board of directors restricted stock units valued at $270. These restricted stock unit awards will fully vest in six months from the award date, and will be settled at that time in shares of the Company's common stock. The shares received in respect of the restricted stock unit awards cannot be sold or transferred until one year after the recipient has ceased to serve as a director of the Company. For the year ended December 31, 2005, 16,872 restricted stock units were granted at a weighted-average grant price of $16.04 per share and remain unvested at December 31, 2005. The Company has

F-36



recorded approximately $113 of stock compensation related to these awards for the year ended December 31, 2005.

        The Company has adopted stock option plans for certain key employees of the Company. In 2005, the Company adopted the 2005 Employee Stock Option Plan (the "2005 Plan") which allowed for up to 1.8 million options to be granted. In 2003 the Company adopted the 2003 Employee Stock Option Plan (the "2003 plan") which allowed for up to 874,690 options to be granted. Under the 1997 Employee Stock Option Plan (the "1997 Plan"), up to 1,823,538 options to purchase the Company's outstanding common stock could be granted. The 1997 plan was subsequently amended and restated in 1998 (the "Amended and Restated 1997 Employee Stock Option Plan"). Prior to the 1997 Recapitalization, the Company had adopted the 1994 Employee Stock Option Plan (the "1994 plan") for certain key employees. All options outstanding under the 2003 Plan and 1997 Plan eligible for vesting became fully vested in conjunction with the Company's initial public offering. As a result of this accelerated vesting, the Company recorded approximately $2,400 of additional stock compensation. All options outstanding under the 1994 plan became fully vested in conjunction with the 1997 Recapitalization. The four stock option plans are referred to collectively as the "Stock Option Plans."

        The options under the Stock Option Plans are granted with an exercise price equal to the estimated fair value of the shares as of the date of grant. Under the 2005 Plan, fifty percent of the options granted vest ratably over four years, and fifty percent vest based on the Company meeting certain financial goals over a four-year period. For the 2003 Plan, 1997 Plan and 1994 Plan, fifty percent of the options granted vest ratably over five years, and fifty percent vest based on the Company meeting certain financial goals over the same five-year periods. All options expire 10 years from the date of grant.

        At December 31, 2005, the Company had approximately 1,254,000 shares of common stock reserved for the exercise of outstanding stock options and additional stock options authorized for granting under existing stock option plans.

11.    2003 Impairment Charge

        In December 2003, the Company implemented a strategic initiative to dispose of selected units in its rental fleet which the Company had determined no longer merit further investment. In accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets, the Company recorded a $19,400 impairment charge in the fourth quarter of 2003 to reflect the write-down of these assets to their estimated fair value (less costs to sell). These units were removed from rental equipment and reclassified separately in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, assets classified as held for sale related to the strategic initiative were not material.

12.    Hurricane Damage and Recovery

        During the third quarter of 2004, approximately 500 mobile office and storage units, the majority of which were not on rent, with a book value of approximately $3,400 were destroyed as a result of several hurricanes (the "2004 Hurricanes") experienced in the southeast region of the United States. In addition, approximately 200 units as well as certain other Company assets were damaged. The total costs related to these storms approximated $4,600. During 2005, the Company settled with its insurance companies for approximately $8,600 to cover losses from these storms, of which $5,000 was received as of December 31, 2004 and the remainder during 2005. During the fourth quarter of 2004, the Company recorded in other revenues approximately $3,300, representing the realized gain from the involuntary conversion of these assets lost in the 2004 Hurricanes. In addition, during the third quarter of 2005, the Company reduced the amount of losses accrued for damage to rental units from the 2004 Hurricanes by approximately $700 as a result of a final settlement with insurers.

        During the third quarter of 2005, certain of the Company's assets were damaged or destroyed as a result of hurricanes (the "2005 Hurricanes") experienced in the southern region

F-38



of the U.S. The Company believes its losses are primarily related to units on rent, for which rental customers have elected the Company's insurance waiver program, and damages to other company assets. The Company self-insures units under the waiver program. An evaluation of the damages caused by these storms continues; however, based on the Company's current assessment of the damages, the Company believes approximately 200 units have been either damaged or destroyed as a result of the hurricanes for which some portion of the damage is not recoverable from either the customer or through insurance. Based on the Company's assessment of its probable loss, the Company recorded a charge of approximately $1,700 in September 2005. As noted above, during the third quarter of 2005, the Company reduced the amount of losses accrued for damage to rental units from 2004 Hurricanes by approximately $700 as a result of a final settlement with insurers. The net charge of $1,000 was recorded in other expenses.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

ITEM 20. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

        Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") provides, among other things, that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the corporation's request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the action, suit or proceeding. The power to indemnify applies (i) if such person is successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding or (ii) if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The power to indemnify applies to actions brought by or in the right of the corporation as well, but only to the extent of defense expenses, (including attorneys' fees but excluding amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred and not to any satisfaction of judgment or settlement of the claim itself, and with the further limitation that in such actions no indemnification shall be made in the event of any adjudication of negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duties to the corporation, unless a court believes that in light of all the circumstances indemnification should apply.

        The amended and restated certificate of incorporation of Williams Scotsman International, Inc. provides that it shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended, any person who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a "proceeding") by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person for whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was at any time a director or officer of the corporation or, while a director or officer of the corporation, is or was at any time serving at the written request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including attorneys' fees) reasonably incurred by such person; provided, however, that Williams Scotsman International, Inc. is required to indemnify a person in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if the commencement of such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by Williams Scotsman International, Inc.'s board of directors.

        Section 102 of the DGCL permits the limitation of directors' personal liability to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duties as a director except for (i) any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law, (iii) breaches under section 174 of the DGCL, which relates to unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchase or redemptions, and (iv) any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

II-1



        Williams Scotsman International, Inc.'s amended and restated amended and restated certificate of incorporation limits the personal liability of our directors to the fullest extent permitted by section 102 of the DGCL.

        Williams Scotsman International, Inc. maintains directors' and officers' liability insurance for our officers and directors.

        Williams Scotsman, Inc. is a Maryland corporation. Section 2-418 of the Maryland General Corporation Law contains detailed provisions on indemnification of directors and officers of a Maryland corporation. In general, indemnification is permitted against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements, and reasonable expenses actually incurred in connection with a proceeding if a director acted in good faith, reasonably believed his conduct to be in the best interests of the corporation, and, in the case of a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. In addition, indemnification may, unless limited by the corporation's charter, include reasonable expenses incurred by a director in connection with a proceeding in which the director's defense was successful, on the merits or otherwise. Indemnification may be required under certain other circumstances as well, upon application to a court of appropriate jurisdiction. Unless limited by a corporation's charter, officers are required to be indemnified to the same extent that directors are required to be indemnified.

        Williams Scotsman, Inc.'s articles of incorporation, as amended, provide that the company shall indemnify its directors and officers to the full extent permitted by the laws of the State of Maryland.

        Willscot Equipment, LLC is a Delaware limited liability company. Section 18-108 of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act (the "LLCA") grants a Delaware limited liability company the power, subject to such standards and restrictions, if any, as are set forth in its limited liability company agreement to indemnify and hold harmless any member or manager or other person from and against any and all claims and demands whatsoever.

        Willscot's limited liability company agreement provides that Willscot shall indemnify any member, any executive committee member, any affiliate of the member or executive committee member or any shareholders, partners, members, employees, representatives or agents of the member or executive committee member or their respective affiliates, any officer or any employee or agent of Willscot (each a "Covered Person") who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding brought by or against Willscot or otherwise, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, including, without limitation, any action by or in the right of Willscot to procure a judgment in its favor, by reason of the fact that such Covered Person is or was the member, executive committee member, officer, employee or agent of Willscot, or that such Covered Person is or was serving at the request of Willscot as a partner, member, director, officer, trustee, employee or agent of another person, against all expenses, including attorneys' fees and disbursements, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such Covered Person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no indemnification shall be provided to or on behalf of any Covered Person if a judgment or other form of adjudication adverse to such Covered Person establishes that his or her acts constituted intentional misconduct or gross negligence.

        The charter or by-laws or similar documents of Space Master International, Inc., Evergreen Mobile Company, Truck & Trailer Sales, Inc. and Williams Scotsman of Canada, Inc. contain similar provisions.

II-2



        Williams Scotsman, Inc.'s directors' and officers' liability and reimbursement insurance policies are designed to reimburse the company and the applicable subsidiary for any payments made by it pursuant to the indemnification provisions described above.

        Pursuant to Section 5 of the registration rights agreement relating to the new notes, the holders of the initial notes have agreed to indemnify the directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrants against certain liabilities, costs and expenses that may be incurred in connection with the registration of the initial notes, to the extent that such liabilities, costs and expenses that may be incurred in connection with the registration of the initial notes to the extent that such liabilities, costs and expenses arise from an omission or untrue statement contained in information provided to the registrant by the holders of the initial notes.

        The Purchase Agreements, each dated as of April 12, 2006, among Williams Scotsman, Inc., the Guarantors, the Subordinated Guarantor and the purchasers of the new notes named therein, contain provisions by which the purchasers of the initial notes agree to indemnify Williams Scotsman and its affiliates (including its officers, directors, employees, agents and controlling persons) against certain liabilities.

        Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the registrants have been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

                   (B)  Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) (§230.424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) of this chapter) 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) (§230.415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) of this chapter) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 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 314 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; or

                (ii)   If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C (§230.430C of this chapter), each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A (§230.430A of this chapter), shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. 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 first use, 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 date of first use.

              (6)   That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 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,

II-12



      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 (§230.424 of this chapter);

                (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.

            (b)   The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Item 4, 10(b), 11 or 13 of this Form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request.

            (c)   The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective.

            (d)   Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrants have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrants of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrants 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
