Shift from traditional fixed, on-site built space to modular space solutions: driven by several advantages as compared with fixed, on-site built space, including: • Quick to install: the pre-fabrication of modular space units allows them to be put in place rapidly, providing potential long-term solutions to needs that may have materialized quickly. • Flexibility: flexible assembly design allows modular space units to be built to suit a customer’s needs while offering customers the ability to adjust their space as their needs change. • Cost effectiveness: modular space units provide a cost-effective solution for temporary and permanent space requirements and allow customers to improve returns on capital in their core business. • Quality: the pre-fabrication of modular space units is based on a repeatable process in a controlled environment, resulting in more consistent quality. • Mobility: modular space units can easily be disassembled, transported to a new location and re-assembled. • Environmentally friendly: relocatable buildings promote the reuse of facilities, on an as-needed basis, by the occupants, and leave zero residual footprint once removed.

The McGrath Acquisition is subject to risks and uncertainties, including: (i) the risk that it may not be completed, or completed within the expected timeframe, including as a result of the possibility that a governmental entity may prohibit, delay or refuse an approval required to complete the acquisition; or (ii) costs relating to the acquisition, including the financing thereof, may be greater than expected.
Added
If the McGrath Acquisition is not completed, or there are significant delays in completing the McGrath Acquisition, the trading price of our common stock could be negatively impacted and our business and financial results may be adversely affected.
Added
The failure to consummate the McGrath Acquisition could also result in a negative reaction from the financial markets, particularly if the current market prices reflect market assumptions that the McGrath Acquisition will be completed, which could cause the value of our common stock to decline.
Added
Additionally, the anticipated benefits of the McGrath Acquisition, including anticipated cost savings, will depend on our ability to realize anticipated synergies. Our success in realizing these cost synergies, and the timing thereof, will depend our ability to integrate McGrath successfully.
Added
Even if we integrate McGrath successfully, we may not realize the full benefits of the anticipated cost synergies, and we cannot guarantee that these benefits will be achieved within anticipated timeframes or at all. For example, we may not be able to eliminate duplicative costs. Moreover, we may incur unanticipated expenses in connection with the integration.
Added
While it is anticipated that certain expenses will be incurred to achieve cost synergies, such expenses are difficult to estimate accurately and may exceed current estimates. Accordingly, the benefits from the McGrath Acquisition may be offset by costs incurred to, or delays in, integrating the businesses.
