Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure
 
Commencing in December 2006, General Finance Corporation (“GFC”) intends to hold presentations for its stockholders regarding its proposed acquisition of RWA Holdings Pty Limited, and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Royal Wolf Trading Australia Pty Ltd and Royal Wolf Hi-tech Pty Ltd, as described in our Form 8-K filed on September 12, 2006. At such presentations, the slide show presentation attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 will be distributed to participants.

GFC and its directors and executive officers may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies for the special meeting of stockholders at which stockholders will be asked to approve the transaction.

GFC stockholders and other interested persons are advised to read GFC’s preliminary proxy statement and, when available, GFC’s definitive proxy statement in connection with GFC’s solicitation of proxies for the special meeting at which stockholders will be asked to approve the acquisition because these proxy statements contain important information. Such persons can also read GFC’s final prospectus, dated April 5, 2006, as well as periodic reports, for more information about GFC, its officers, directors, and their interests in the successful consummation of this business combination. The definitive proxy statement will be mailed to stockholders as of a record date to be established for voting at the special meeting. Stockholders will also be able to obtain a copy of the definitive proxy statement, the final prospectus and other periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, without charge, by visiting the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Internet site at (http://www.sec.gov).
