Exhibit 97
MCGRATH RENTCORP
AMENDED AND RESTATED
COMPENSATION RECOUPMENT POLICY
Effective Date: December 1, 2023
(Amended on: February 19, 2026)
In the event of any required accounting restatement of the financial statements of McGrath RentCorp (the “Company”) due to the material noncompliance of the Company with any financial reporting requirement under the applicable U.S. federal securities laws, including any required accounting restatement to correct an error in previously issued financial statements that is material to the previously issued financial statements, or that would result in a material misstatement if the error were corrected in the current period or left uncorrected in the current period (a “Restatement”), the Company (i) shall recover reasonably promptly from any person who is or was an executive officer, as such term is defined in Rule 10D-1 adopted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), of the Company (each, a “Covered Person”) the amount of any “Erroneously Awarded Incentive-Based Compensation” (as defined below) and (ii) may, to the extent permitted by law and to the extent the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) determines that it is in the Company’s best interests to do so, recover any “Other Compensation” (as defined below) received by a Covered Person during the Recovery Period (as defined below) or a shorter lookback period as determined by the Board in its sole discretion (the “Discretionary Clawback Provision”).
The amount of incentive-based compensation that must be recovered from a Covered Person pursuant to clause (i) of the immediately preceding paragraph in the event that the Company is required to prepare a Restatement is the amount of incentive-based compensation received by a Covered Person that exceeds the amount of incentive-based compensation that otherwise would have been received had it been determined based on the restated amounts and must be computed without regard to any taxes paid (referred to as the “Erroneously Awarded Incentive-Based Compensation”). For incentive-based compensation based on stock price or total shareholder return, where the amount is not subject to mathematical recalculation directly from the information in a Restatement, the amount must be based on a reasonable estimate of the effect of the Restatement on the stock price or total shareholder return, as applicable, upon which the incentive-based compensation was received, and the Company must maintain documentation of that reasonable estimate and provide such documentation to the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”). For the purposes of this policy, incentive-based compensation will be deemed to be received in the fiscal period during which the Financial Reporting Measure (as defined below) specified in the applicable incentive-based compensation award is attained, even if the payment or grant occurs after the end of that period.
The Board in its discretion may, pursuant to the Discretionary Clawback Provision, also recover any Other Compensation received by a Covered Person (the “Erroneously Awarded Other Compensation”), including the amount to be recovered and the applicable lookback period, if shorter than the Recovery Period. The Board may make determinations
