WillScot Mobile Mini (NASDAQ:WSC) has announced a merger with McGrath RentCorp (NASDAQ:MGRC) that is expected to be completed in Q2 of 2024.

Under the terms of the agreement, WillScot Mobile Mini has agreed to give McGrath RentCorp $3.80 billion in cash & stock in exchange for MGRC stock.

How A Merger Works

A merger happens when a company combines operations with another company. In practice, one company will buy the other company's stock in exchange for its own stock. In some cases, cash is used to pay for the company's stock but usually the companies agree to a stock-for-stock transaction.

Due to the exchange and acquisition of stock, a merger is similar to an acquisition. This is why the two terms are commonly grouped together as mergers and acquisitions (M&A). However, in a merger, the leadership & operations of both companies usually change dramatically, while during an acquisition this is less likely to happen.
