Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

On July 11, 2024, McGrath RentCorp (the “Company”) held a special meeting of shareholders (the “Special Meeting”) virtually via live webcast, in connection with the proposed merger (the “Merger”) with WillScot Mobile Mini Holdings Corp. (“WillScot Mobile Mini”), as disclosed in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on June 10, 2024 (the “Proxy Statement”).

As of May 31, 2024, the record date for the Special Meeting, there were 24,549,833 shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. At the Special Meeting, 18,789,819 shares, or approximately 76.5% of all outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting, where present via the virtual meeting or represented by proxy. Three matters were voted upon at the Special Meeting, with the Board of Directors of the Company recommending a vote “FOR” each of the proposals, as further described in the Proxy Statement.

Proposal No. 1 (the “Merger Proposal”) was to consider and vote on the proposal to adopt the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of January 28, 2024 (as may be amended from time to time) (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among, the Company, WillScot Mobile Mini, Brunello Merger Sub I, Inc., a California corporation and directly wholly owned subsidiary of WillScot Mobile Mini, and Brunello Merger Sub II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and direct wholly owned subsidiary of WillScot Mobile Mini.

Proposal No. 2 (the “Compensation Proposal”) was to consider and vote on the proposal to approve a non-binding, advisory proposal to approve compensation that will or may become payable by the Company to its named executive officers in connection with the Merger.

Proposal No. 3 (the “Adjournment Proposal”) was to consider and vote on the proposal to adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date or dates as provided in the Merger Agreement, if necessary or appropriate, including to solicit additional votes if there were insufficient votes to adopt the Merger Agreement at the time of the Special Meeting.

The Merger Proposal, the Compensation Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal were approved; however, because the Merger Proposal was approved, the Adjournment Proposal was not necessary. The table below shows the final voting results from the Special Meeting.

	For		Against		Abstain		Broker Non-Votes
Proposal 1 – The Merger Proposal		18,070,204		688,517		31,098		0
Proposal 2 – The Compensation Proposal		17,619,184		954,606		216,029		0
Proposal 3 – The Adjournment Proposal		17,408,251		1,310,483		71,085		0

The approval of the Merger Proposal satisfies the shareholder vote condition to the consummation of the Merger under the Merger Agreement.

Approval of the Merger-Related Compensation Proposal is not a condition to completion of the Merger, and the vote with respect to such proposal was advisory only and will not be binding on the Company or WillScot Mobile Mini.
