Dear Mr. Trachtenberg:
We reviewed the filing and have the comments below.
1. Refer to prior comment 2. As requested previously, confirm
before
the registration statement`s effectiveness that Mobile Mini will
file
a tax opinion if securities are offered with original issue
discount
or other material tax consequences.
Where You Can Find More Information, page 2
2. The Commission has relocated its headquarters facility to
Station
Place, 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, DC 20549. The Commission`s
public reference room is located in Room 5080 at that address.
Revise the first paragraph.
Description of Capital Stock, page 5
3. Refer to prior comment 7. Also remove the statement that the
discussion is qualified in its entirety by reference to provisions
of
Delaware law. You may qualify information in the prospectus by
reference to information outside the prospectus only where
incorporation by reference or the summary of a document filed as
an
exhibit is required by the form. See Rule 411(a) of Regulation C
under the Securities Act.
Preferred Stock, page 6
4. Refer to prior comment 8. As requested previously, identify
all
of the underlying types of securities into which the preferred
stock
may be converted with specificity in the registration statement.
We
note the disclosure in the second paragraph of Exhibit 5.1.
Closing
File an amendment to the S-3 in response to the comments. To
expedite our review, Mobile Mini may wish to provide us three
marked
courtesy copies of the amendment. Include with the filing any
supplemental information requested and a cover letter tagged as
correspondence that keys the responses to the comments. If Mobile
Mini thinks that compliance with any of the comments is
inappropriate, provide the basis in the letter. We may have
additional comments after review of the amendment, the responses
to
the comments, and any supplemental information.
We urge all persons responsible for the accuracy and adequacy
of
the disclosure in the registration statement reviewed by us to
ensure
that they have provided all information investors require for an
informed decision. Since Mobile Mini and its management are in
possession of all facts relating to the disclosure in the
registration statement, they are responsible for the adequacy and
accuracy of the disclosures that they have made.
If Mobile Mini requests acceleration of the registration
statement`s effectiveness, Mobile Mini should furnish a letter at
the
time of the request, acknowledging that:
* Should the Commission or the staff acting by delegated authority
declare the registration statement effective, it does not
foreclose
the Commission from taking any action on the filing.
* The action of the Commission or the staff acting by delegated
authority in declaring the registration statement effective does
not
relieve Mobile Mini from its full responsibility for the adequacy
and
accuracy of the registration statement`s disclosures.
* Mobile Mini may not assert the action of the Commission or the
staff acting by delegated authority in declaring the registration
statement effective as a defense in any proceedings initiated by
the
Commission or any person under the United States` federal
securities
laws.
The Commission`s Division of Enforcement has access to all
information that Mobile Mini provides us in our review of the
registration statement or in response to our comments on the
registration statement.
We will consider a written request for acceleration of the
registration statement`s effectiveness under Rule 461 of
Regulation C
under the Securities Act as confirmation that those requesting
acceleration are aware of their responsibilities under the
Securities
Act and the Exchange Act as they relate to the proposed public
offering of the securities specified in the registration
statement.
We will act on the request and by delegated authority grant
acceleration of the registration statement`s effectiveness.
You may direct questions on comments and disclosure issues to
Edward M. Kelly, Senior Counsel, at (202) 551- 3728 or me at (202)
551-3760.
Very truly yours,
Pamela A. Long
