ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS
Unless otherwise indicated or unless the context requires otherwise, all references in this
prospectus or any accompanying prospectus supplement to we, us, our or our company refer to
Mobile Mini, Inc., a Delaware corporation.
This prospectus is part of a resale registration statement that we filed with the United
States Securities and Exchange Commission, or Commission or SEC, utilizing a shelf registration
process. The selling stockholders may offer and sell, from time to time, an aggregate of up to
8,555,555 shares of our common stock under this prospectus.
You should rely only upon the information contained in this prospectus, the registration
statement of which this prospectus is a part and the documents which are incorporated herein by
reference. We have not authorized any other person to provide you with different information. If
anyone provides you with different or inconsistent information, you should not rely on it. You
should assume the information appearing in this prospectus is accurate only as of the date on the
front cover of this prospectus. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and
prospects may have changed since that date. This prospectus is based on information provided by us
and other sources that we believe are reliable. We have summarized certain documents and other
information in a manner we believe to be accurate, but we refer you to the actual documents for a
more complete understanding of what we discuss in this prospectus. In making an investment
decision, you must rely on your own examination of our business and the terms of the offering,
including the merits and risks involved.
Any statements in this prospectus or in any accompanying prospectus supplement concerning the

the document so filed.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus and other materials filed or to be filed by us with the SEC (as well as
information included in oral statements or other written statements made or to be made by us or our
representatives) contains or may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section
27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
Exchange Act). These forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not
relate strictly to historical or current facts and may include the words may, could, should,
would, believe, expect, anticipate, estimate, intend, plan or other words or
expressions of similar meaning. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current
expectations about future events. The forward-looking statements include statements that reflect
managements beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, expectations, anticipations and intentions with
respect to our financial condition, results of operations, future performance and business,
including statements relating to our business strategy and our current and future development
plans. Important factors currently known to management that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those in forward-looking statements include those factors described under the
caption Risk Factors contained in our periodic filings made with the SEC and any prospectus
supplement to this prospectus. Actual results or developments may differ materially from the
expectations expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements express expectations of future events. All forward-looking
statements are inherently uncertain as they are based on various expectations and assumptions
concerning future events and they are subject to numerous known and unknown risks and uncertainties
which could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those projected. Our past
performance or past or present economic conditions in our markets are not indicative of future
performance or conditions. Due to these inherent uncertainties, current or potential investors in
our securities are urged not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. In addition,
we undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed
assumptions, the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or changes to projections over
time.
You should carefully read the factors described under the Risk Factors section at page 1 in
this prospectus, as well as any risks described in the documents incorporated by reference in this
prospectus or any prospectus supplement.

RISK FACTORS
Investing in our common stock involves substantial risks. In addition to other information
contained in this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement, before investing in our

our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and in
any other documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus, as updated by our future
filings. These risks are not the only ones faced by us. Additional risks not known or that are
presently deemed immaterial could also materially and adversely affect our financial condition,
results of operations, our products, business and prospects. Any of these risks might cause you to
lose all or a part of your investment.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the shares of our common stock by the
selling stockholders. All costs and expenses incurred in connection with the registration under
the Securities Act of the offering made hereby will be paid by us, other than any brokerage fees
and commissions, up to $50,000 of the fees and disbursements of legal counsel for the selling
stockholders, applicable local counsel to the selling stockholders, and stock transfer and other
taxes attributable to the sale of the shares, if applicable, which will be paid by the selling
stockholders.
DIVIDEND POLICY
We do not currently intend to pay cash dividends on our common stock. Instead, we will use our
available cash to continue the expansion of our business. Our credit facility does not allow us to
pay dividends without the consent of our lenders.
1
SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
On June 27, 2008, in connection with our acquisition of Mobile Storage Group, Inc., we issued
8,555,555.56 shares of preferred stock designated as our Series A Convertible Redeemable
Participating Preferred Stock to former stockholders of Mobile Storage Group. Because the preferred
stock includes one fractional share for which we will pay cash to the holders at the time of
issuance rather than issue fractional shares of common stock, we are registering 8,555,555 shares
of our common stock hereunder.
The Series A Convertible Redeemable Participating Preferred Stock is initially convertible
into 8,555,555.56 shares of our common stock, representing a conversion price of $18.00 per share.
This preferred stock is mandatorily convertible into our common stock if, after June 27, 2009, our
common stock trades above $23.00 per share for a period of 30 consecutive days. The preferred stock
does not have any cash or payment-in-kind dividends (unless and until a dividend is paid with
respect to the common stock, in which case dividends will be paid on an equal basis with the common
stock, on an as-converted basis) and do not impose any covenants upon us.
Under the terms of a stockholders agreement with the selling stockholders, these former Mobile
Storage Group stockholders party to the stockholders agreement are restricted from transferring,
voluntarily or involuntarily, directly or indirectly, in any manner, any equity or debt securities
of Mobile Mini, in whole or in part, or any other right or interest therein, or entering into any
transaction which results in the economic equivalent of a transfer to any person except pursuant to
a permitted transfer (i) following such stockholders death to a permitted transferee, (ii) to its
affiliates subject to certain restrictions and (iii) on or after June 27, 2009, provided, that
private sales of our common stock or sales of preferred stock to any single transferee shall not
exceed 3% of the fully diluted common stock of Mobile Mini subject to certain restrictions. In
addition, in the event of such permitted transfers, the aggregate number of permitted transferees
in connection with transfers by any single stockholder party to the stockholders agreement may be
limited or subject to certain restrictions.
We are registering the shares of our common stock covered by this prospectus pursuant to the
registration rights granted to the selling stockholders under the terms of the stockholders
agreement referenced above, to permit these investors to resell or otherwise dispose of these
shares of common stock from time to time. The beneficial ownership information in the below table
is based solely on information provided to Mobile Mini by each selling stockholder.
Pursuant to this prospectus, the selling stockholders may offer an aggregate of 8,555,555
shares of our common stock for resale. The shares are being offered for the account of the selling
stockholders identified in the table below.
The following table sets forth information as of April 27, 2009 and includes the number of
shares of our common stock beneficially owned by the selling stockholders prior to the offering,
the number of shares of common stock offered by the selling stockholders, and the number of shares
of common stock that will be owned by the selling stockholders upon completion of the offering or
offerings pursuant to this prospectus, assuming the selling stockholders sell all of the shares of
common stock offered hereby. Only those selling stockholders listed below or their transferees,
pledgees, donees, assignees, distributees, successors and others who later come to hold any of the
selling stockholders interest may offer and sell the common stock pursuant to this prospectus and
any accompanying prospectus supplement. The selling stockholders may offer for sale pursuant to
this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement from time to time, any or all of the
common stock listed below. Accordingly, no estimate can be given as to the shares of common stock
that the selling stockholders will hold upon consummation of any such sales.
Applicable percentages are based on 35,470,209 shares of our common stock outstanding on March
31, 2009, adjusted as required by rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
Any selling stockholder who is a broker dealer will be deemed an underwriter within the
meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act, unless such selling stockholder purchased its
shares in the ordinary course of business, and at the time of its purchase of the shares to be
resold, did not have a view to or arrangements or understandings, directly or indirectly, with any
person to distribute the shares. Except as otherwise provided herein, the selling stockholders
have each informed us that they are not registered broker dealers and were not registered broker
dealers at the time of the purchase of their respective shares.
There are no material relationships between the selling stockholders and us other than as
disclosed herein and the documents we incorporate by reference.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The selling stockholders and any transferees, pledgees, donees, assignees, distributees or
other successors in interest to a selling stockholder may, from time to time, sell, transfer or
otherwise dispose of any or all of their shares of our common stock covered by this prospectus on
the NASDAQ Global Market or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the
shares are traded or in private transactions. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at
prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at
varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. A selling stockholder may
use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of shares:
|
|
|
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer
solicits purchasers; |
|
|
|
|
block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as
agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the
transaction; |
|
|
|
|
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; |
|
|
|
|
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; |
|
|
|
|
privately negotiated transactions; |
|
|
|
|
settlement of short sales entered into after the effective date of the
registration statement of which this prospectus is a part; |
|
|
|
|
broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified
number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; |
|
|
|
|
through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions,
whether through an options exchange or otherwise; |
|
|
|
|
a combination of any such methods of sale; or |
|
|
|
|
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law (including underwritten transactions). |
The selling stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if
available, rather than under this prospectus.
Broker-dealers, underwriters and agents engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for
other brokers dealers, underwriters or agents to participate in sales. Broker-dealers,
underwriters or agents may receive commissions, discounts or concessions from the selling
stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the
purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this
prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission
in compliance with FINRA NASD Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or
markdown in compliance with NASD IM-2440.
In connection with the sale of the common stock or interests therein, certain of the selling
stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial
institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging
the positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of the common stock short
and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock
to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling stockholders may also enter
into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the
creation of one (1) or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer
or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such
broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as
supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers, underwriters or agents that are involved in
selling the shares may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act in
connection with such sales. In such
4
event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers, underwriters or agents and any profit
on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or
discounts under the Securities Act.
We will pay the expenses incurred in connection with the registration of the shares, including
all registration, listing and qualification fees, printer and accounting fees, our legal fees and
up to $50,000 of the selling stockholders legal fees, and applicable local counsel to the selling
stockholders. The selling stockholders will pay any underwriting fees, discounts, concessions, or
brokerage commissions associated with the sale of their shares of common stock.
Because selling stockholders may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the
Securities Act, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act
including Rule 172 thereunder. In addition, any securities covered by this prospectus which
qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather
than under this prospectus.
To the extent required, the shares of our common stock to be sold; the names of the selling
stockholders; the respective purchase prices and public offering prices; the names of any agents,
dealers or underwriters; and any applicable commissions or discounts with respect to a particular
offer will be set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a
post-effective amendment to the registration statement that includes this prospectus. The resale
shares will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under
applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale shares may not be
sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption
from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.
Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the
distribution of the resale shares may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with
respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior
to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the selling stockholders will be subject to
applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including
Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares of our common stock by
the selling stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to
the selling stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to
each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the
Securities Act).
