WillScot locked in fixed rates of about 4.345% on $300 million of variable-rate ABL debt via two swaps effective June 30, 2027 through June 30, 2030. This hedges against rising interest costs on its credit facility, a modestly positive but routine treasury action that is unlikely to move the stock materially.
