BALTIMORE, Aug. 10, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- WillScot Corporation (Nasdaq: WSC) (“WillScot”), a specialty rental services market leader providing innovative modular space and portable storage solutions across North America, today announced that the underwriters of its recent offering of 8,000,000 shares of its Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), have exercised their option to purchase an additional 1,200,000 shares of Common Stock on the same terms as the initial offering.
WillScot received approximately $19.2 million of gross proceeds from the underwriter’s exercise of their option to purchase additional shares.
