PRESS RELEASE, DATED APRIL 1, 2021
Exhibit 99.1
Nesco Holdings Completes
Acquisition of Custom Truck One Source in Partnership with Platinum
Equity and Changes Its Name to Custom Truck One Source, Inc.
Kansas City, MO., April 1, 2021
/PRNewsire/ Nesco Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: NSCO) ("Nesco"), which has been renamed as Custom Truck One Source, Inc. (the "Company")
effective today, in partnership with an affiliate of Platinum Equity, LLC ("Platinum"), today announced the closing of the
previously announced transaction to acquire Custom Truck One Source, L.P. ("CTOS") for a purchase price of $1.475 billion.
Nesco and CTOS are leading providers of specialized truck and heavy equipment solutions, including rental, sales and aftermarket parts
and service.
The Company is headquartered
in Kansas City, Missouri and led by CTOS co-founder and CEO Fred Ross. The combination creates a leading, one-stop-shop provider of specialty
rental equipment, serving highly attractive and growing infrastructure end markets, including the transmission and distribution energy
grid, the 5G revolution build-out and critical rail and other national infrastructure initiatives.
In connection with the Acquisition,
the Company has changed its name to Custom Truck One Source, Inc. Its shares of common stock will trade on the NYSE under the ticker symbol
"CTOS" beginning on April 5, 2021, and its existing warrants will trade on the NYSE under the ticker symbol "CTOS.WS".
The Company's leadership team also includes Ryan McMonagle as President and Chief Operating Officer and Brad Meader as Chief Financial
Officer, both of whom previously held those positions at CTOS.
"We are truly excited
about bringing these two great companies together", said Mr. Ross. "We believe that our stockholders will realize the benefits
of the combination as we create one of the largest specialty rental fleets in the country. Moreover, we are excited to bring a larger
platform to our customers and to continue to provide them with the outstanding customer service they have come to expect from both of
us."
In connection with the Acquisition,
Platinum has made an investment and became the majority stockholder of the Company while existing CTOS equity holders, including certain
funds managed by the Blackstone Group ("Blackstone"), the majority owner of CTOS prior to the Acquisition, and certain members
of the CTOS management team, became minority stockholders of the Company. Energy Capital Partners ("ECP") and Capitol Investment
("Capitol"), who together owned approximately 70% of Nesco's outstanding common stock prior to the Acquisition, retained
their entire ownership positions in the Company.
"We look forward to working
with the management team to bring these companies together and to putting our playbook in action to create significant shareholder value
for many years to come", said Platinum Equity Partner Louis Samson. "We have a lot of experience in this industry and are
excited about the opportunities ahead".
"We are thrilled to consummate
this merger which creates a very unique, valuable, well-capitalized company that is a terrific business and now also will benefit from,
and play an important role in, the likely large investment about to be made in our nation's electrical, telecom and rail infrastructure,"
said Mark Ein, Capitol's CEO and Nesco's Vice-Chairman who will join the CTOS board.
