                           FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
Certain statements incorporated by reference or made in this prospectus under
the captions "Risk Factors" and "Business," and elsewhere in this prospectus or
in documents incorporated by reference are "forward-looking statements" within
the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. When we use the words "anticipate," "assume,"
"believe," "estimate," "expect," "intend," and other similar expressions in
this prospectus, we generally intend to identify forward-looking statements.
You should not rely on forward-looking statements since they involve known and
unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which are, in some cases, beyond
our control and which could materially affect our actual results, performance
or achievements. Factors that could cause our actual results, performance or
achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these
forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the factors
described under "Risk Factors" in this prospectus. You should carefully review
all of the factors described below, which may not be an exhaustive list of
these factors.
 
                                  RISK FACTORS
 
A purchase of our common stock involves various risks. You should consider the
following risk factors:
 
Success of Our Acquisition Strategy Depends on Access to Capital
 
The success of our growth strategy is dependent upon our ability to identify,
finance and consummate acquisitions on acceptable financial terms. Our access
to capital is subject to the following risks:
 
 .  use of our common stock as acquisition consideration may result in dilution
   to our stockholders;
 
 .  if our common stock does not maintain a sufficient valuation or if potential
   acquisition candidates are unwilling to accept shares of our common stock,
   then we will be required to use more cash resources or other consideration
   to make acquisitions;
 
 .  if we are unable to generate sufficient cash for acquisitions from existing
   operations, our ability to make acquisitions could be adversely affected
   unless we are able to obtain additional capital through external financings
   or to borrow sufficient amounts; and
 
 .  funding our acquisition program through debt financing will result in
   additional leverage.
 
Significant Capital Expenditures Required to Replace Equipment and Implement
New Technology
 
We must continue to make capital expenditures in order to replace our existing
equipment, which requires significant operating financing. In addition, our
plan to use smart-card based technologies with our equipment will also require
significant capital expenditures. While we anticipate that our existing capital
resources, as well as cash from operations, will be adequate to finance
anticipated capital expenditures, we cannot assure you that our resources or
cash flows will be sufficient. To the extent that our available resources are
insufficient to fund capital requirements, we may need to raise
 
                                       3
<PAGE>
 
additional funds through public or private financings or curtail our capital
expenditures. Such financings may not be available or available only on
unfavorable terms and, in the case of equity financings, could result in
dilution to our stockholders.
 
Our Indebtedness Limits Use of Cash Flow and Restricts Flexibility
 
In the event we significantly increase the outstanding indebtedness under our
credit facility, the increased indebtedness could:
 
 .  require us to use a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to
   make payments on our indebtedness, leaving less cash flow available for
   other purposes;
 
 .  materially limit or impair our ability to obtain financing in the future for
   working capital needs, capital expenditures, acquisitions, investments,
   general corporate or other purposes; and
 
 .  reduce our flexibility to respond to changing business and economic
   conditions.
 
The credit facility requires us to comply with various financial and other
operating covenants. Our failure to comply with any of these covenants, which
the lender does not waive, would permit the lender to accelerate our loan. An
acceleration of our loan could have a material adverse effect on our business.
 
Dependence Upon Lease Renewals
 
Our business is highly dependent upon the renewal of our leases with property
owners, colleges and universities and public housing authorities. We have
traditionally relied upon exclusive, long-term leases with our customers, as
well as frequent customer interaction and an historical emphasis on customer
service, to assure continuity of financial and operating results. We cannot
assure you that:
 
 .  we will be able to continue to secure long-term exclusive leases with our
   customers on favorable terms;
 
 .  we will be able to successfully renew our existing leases as they expire; or
 
 .  we will not experience a loss of business if property owners or management
   companies choose to vacate properties as a result of economic downturns that
   impact occupancy levels.
 
Any failure by us to continue to obtain long-term exclusive leases with a
substantial number of our customers, or to successfully renew our existing
leases as they expire, could have a material adverse effect on our business.
 
Uncertainty of Market Acceptance of Products Using New Technology
 
We are currently introducing, and intend to introduce in the future, new
products and services using smart card based technologies. While we believe
that cashless transactions will be attractive to our customers and will provide
us with various benefits, we cannot assure you that there will be widespread
acceptance of these products by property owners, managers, colleges and
universities and residents. Furthermore, there is a risk that technical or
operational problems may arise from the implementation of smart card based
technologies. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that the
 
                                       4
<PAGE>
 
incremental revenue and cost efficiencies associated with technological
enhancements, such as the smart card, will justify the significant capital
expenditures associated with these enhancements.
 
We Face Local and National Competition
 
The card and coin-operated laundry services industry is highly competitive,
both locally and nationally. On the local level, private businesses tend to
have long-standing relationships with property owners and managers in their
specific geographic market. On the national level, there are two large
companies participating in the industry consolidation, each of which has
significantly larger installed machine bases than we do. These larger companies
tend to have significant operational and managerial resources to devote to
expansion and to capture additional market share. These competitive forces may
increase purchase prices for future acquisitions to levels that make the
acquisitions less attractive or uneconomical. Accordingly, we cannot assure you
that we will be able to compete effectively in any specific geographic location
in the business of supplying laundry equipment services to property owners and
managers or in the acquisition of other businesses.
 
Dependence Upon Maytag and Other Suppliers
 
We currently purchase more than 90% of the equipment that we use in our laundry
route business from Maytag Corporation. In addition, we derive a significant
amount of our non-laundry route revenue, as well as competitive advantages,
from our position as a distributor of Maytag commercial laundry products.
Although the agreements between us and Maytag Corporation may be terminated by
either party upon written notice, Maytag Corporation has never terminated any
of our agreements. We also currently purchase substantially all of our smart-
card based equipment from Schlumberger Technologies, Inc., a manufacturer of
card-based electronic transaction systems. In addition, we currently procure a
substantial amount of the products used by our Intirion business unit from a
limited number of suppliers, including Sanyo E&E Corporation. If our suppliers
terminated or demanded a substantial revision of the contracts or business
relationships we currently have with them, there may be a delay in finding a
replacement, if a suitable one can be found at all, and an inability to find
terms as favorable as the current terms.
 
Implementation of Acquisition Strategy; Integration of Acquired Businesses
 
Our growth strategy depends, in part, on our ability to acquire and
successfully integrate and operate additional businesses. While we generally
believe that our management team and business structure enable us to operate a
significantly larger and more diverse operation, we may be exposed to the
following risks in connection with finding, completing, and successfully
integrating acquisitions:
 
 .  the inability to effectively and efficiently integrate the assets of the
   acquired business with our own;
 
 .  the inability to increase the revenue and profit of the acquired business;
 
 .  the expenditure of a disproportionate amount of our financial resources and
   management time integrating acquired businesses, particularly operations
   located outside of our existing geographic coverage and operations outside
   our core business; and
 
                                       5
<PAGE>
 
 .  future acquisitions accounted for under the purchase method of accounting
   may result in the recording of goodwill, the amortization of which may
   reduce our net income.
 
Product Liability and Limited Insurance Coverage Related to MicroFridge(R)
Products
 
Through Intirion, we market and distribute MicroFridge(R), a combination
microwave and refrigerator. The sale and distribution of MicroFridge(R), as
well as our other products, entails a risk of product liability claims.
Further, although MicroFridge(R) is manufactured by third parties under
contract with Intirion, Intirion may be subject to risks of product liability
claims related to this manufacture. Potential product liability claims may
exceed the amount of our insurance coverage or may be excluded from coverage.
We cannot assure you that we will be able to renew our existing insurance at a
cost and level of coverage comparable to that presently in effect, if at all.
In the event that Intirion is held liable for a claim against which it is not
indemnified or for damages exceeding the limits of our insurance coverage, the
claim could have a material adverse effect on our business.
 
Reliance Upon Common Law and Contractual Intellectual Property Rights
 
We rely upon certain trademark, service mark, copyright, patent and trade
secret laws, employee and third-party non-disclosure and non-solicitation
agreements and other methods to protect our proprietary rights. We periodically
make filings with the Patent and Trademark Office to protect some of our
proprietary rights, although we have traditionally relied upon the protections
afforded by contract rights and through common law ownership rights. We cannot
assure you that these contract rights and legal claims to ownership will
adequately protect us and our operations from adverse claims. In addition, any
adverse claims or litigation, with or without merit, could be costly and could
divert management's attention from the operation of our business.
 
Voting Control by Principal Stockholders, Directors and Executive Officers
 
As of February 1, 1999, our principal stockholders, directors and executive
officers and their affiliates beneficially owned in the aggregate nearly 50% of
the outstanding shares of our common stock. This percentage ownership does not
include options to purchase 381,757 shares of our common stock held by some of
these persons, 135,037 of which are currently exercisable. If these affiliates
exercised any of their options, then the ownership of our common stock would be
further concentrated, and if they exercised a sufficient number of options,
they would collectively own a majority of the outstanding shares of our common
stock. As a result of this concentration of ownership, these stockholders, if
they were to act together, could have the ability, as a practical matter, to
significantly influence the outcome of the election of our directors and all
other matters requiring approval by a majority of our stockholders. Matters
requiring stockholder approval include significant corporate transactions, such
as mergers and sales of all or substantially all of our assets. The
concentration of ownership in our affiliates, together, in some cases, with
specific provisions of our charter and bylaws and applicable sections of the
corporate law of Delaware, may have the effect of delaying or preventing a
change in control of Mac-Gray. A discussion of this anti-takeover effect
appears below.
 
Anti-takeover Effect of Our Charter and Bylaws and Delaware Law
 
Specific provisions of our charter and bylaws, sections of the corporate law of
Delaware and powers of the board of directors may discourage takeover attempts
not first approved by the board of directors, including takeovers which some
stockholders may deem to be in their best interests. These
 
                                       6
<PAGE>
 
provisions and powers of the board of directors could delay or prevent the
removal of incumbent directors or the assumption of control by stockholders,
even if the particular removal or assumption of control would be beneficial to
stockholders. These provisions and powers of the board of directors also could
discourage or make more difficult a merger, tender offer or proxy contest, even
if these events would be beneficial, in the short term, to the interests of
stockholders. The anti-takeover provisions and powers of the board of directors
include, among other things:
 
 .  ability of the board of directors to issue shares of preferred stock and to
   establish the voting rights, preferences and other terms of such preferred
   stock;
 
 .  a classified board of directors serving staggered three-year terms;
 
 .  the elimination of stockholder voting by written consent;
 
 .  the absence of cumulative voting for directors;
 
 .  the removal of directors only for cause;
 
 .  the vesting of exclusive authority in the board of directors to determine
   the size of the board of directors and, subject to certain limited
   exceptions, to fill vacancies thereon;
 
 .  the vesting of exclusive authority in the board of directors, except as
   otherwise required by law, to call special meetings of stockholders;
 
 .  advance notice requirements for stockholder proposals and nominations for
   election to the board of directors; and
 
 .  ownership restrictions, under the corporate law of Delaware, with limited
   exceptions, upon acquirors including their affiliates and associates of 15%
   or more of our common stock.

                                    BUSINESS
 
General
 
We derive our revenue principally through the operation and maintenance of card
and coin-operated laundry rooms in multiple housing facilities, such as
apartment buildings, colleges and universities, condominiums and public housing
complexes. We operate our laundry rooms under long-term leases with property
owners, colleges and universities and governmental agencies. The leases
typically grant us the exclusive right to operate laundry rooms on the lessor's
premises for a fixed term, which is generally seven to ten years, in exchange
for a percentage of the revenue collected. Our laundry route business consists
of more than 155,000 laundry machines, operated in over 25,000 multiple housing
laundry rooms located in 27 states.
 
We also derive revenue as a distributor and servicer of commercial laundry
equipment manufactured by Maytag Corporation ("Maytag"), and sell laundry
equipment manufactured by American Dryer, The Dexter Company, and Whirlpool
Corporation to provide several alternatives in machine type, cost and capacity.
Additionally, we sell or rent laundry equipment to restaurants, hotels, health
clubs and similar institutional users that operate their own on-premises
laundry facilities.
 
Recent Developments
 
The board of directors and our senior lenders have approved a stock repurchase
plan under which we are authorized to spend up to eight million dollars
($8,000,000) to acquire shares of our common stock in the open market during
the next twelve months. Accordingly, we may repurchase shares from time to time
and in amounts as market conditions warrant, subject to regulatory
considerations.
 
                                USE OF PROCEEDS
 
We will not receive any of the proceeds of the sale, if any, of the shares
offered by this prospectus.
 
                          DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
 
Authorized and Outstanding Capital Stock
 
Our authorized capital stock consists of 30,000,000 shares of common stock and
5,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock issuable in series by the
board of directors. As of February 1, 1999, there were 12,781,628 shares of
common stock outstanding that were held of record by 99 stockholders. We do not
intend the following summary description of our capital stock to be complete.
We refer you to our charter and the bylaws for a more complete description of
our capital stock.
 
The Common Stock. The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per
share on all matters to be voted on by stockholders and are entitled to receive
dividends, if any, as the board of directors may declare from time to time from
funds legally available for dividends. The possible issuance of preferred stock
with a preference over the common stock as to dividends could impact the
dividend rights of holders of common stock. Holders of common stock are not
entitled to cumulative voting
 
                                       11
<PAGE>
 
rights. Therefore, the holders of a majority of the shares voted in the
election of directors can elect all of the directors then standing for
election, subject to the rights of the holders of any then outstanding
preferred stock, if and when issued. The holders of common stock have no
preemptive or other subscription rights, and there are no conversion rights or
redemption or sinking fund provisions with respect to the common stock. Upon
our voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up, our net
assets shall be distributed pro rata to the holders of the common stock in
accordance with their respective rights and interests, subject to the rights
and interests of the holders of preferred stock, if and when issued. All
outstanding shares of common stock are fully paid and non-assessable.
 
Our charter and bylaws provide, subject to the rights of the holders of any
preferred stock then outstanding, that the board of directors shall fix the
number of directors. The directors, other than those who may be elected by the
holders of any preferred stock, are divided into three classes, as nearly equal
in number as possible, with each class serving for a three-year term. Subject
to any rights of the holders of preferred stock to elect directors and to
remove any director whom the holders of the preferred stock had the right to
elect, any director may be removed from office only with cause and by the
affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the total votes which would be
eligible to be cast by stockholders in the election of the director.
 
Undesignated Preferred Stock. The board of directors is authorized, without
further action of our stockholders, to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of
preferred stock in classes or series. In addition, the board of directors may
fix the designations, powers, preferences and the relative, participating,
optional or other special rights of the shares of each series and any
qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereon as set forth in our
charter. Any preferred stock we issue may rank prior to the common stock as to
dividend rights, liquidation preference or both, may have full or limited
voting rights and may be convertible into shares of common stock.
 
The purpose of authorizing the board of directors to issue preferred stock is,
in part, to eliminate delays associated with a stockholder vote on specific
issuances. The issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of making it
more difficult for a third party to acquire, or of discouraging a third party
from acquiring or seeking to acquire, a significant portion of the outstanding
common stock.
 
Certain Provisions of Our Charter and Bylaws
 
General. A number of provisions of our charter and bylaws concern matters of
corporate governance and the rights of stockholders. Certain of these
provisions, as well as the ability of the board of directors to issue shares of
preferred stock and to set the voting rights, preferences and other terms
thereof, may have the following effects:
 
 .  discourage takeover attempts not first approved by the board of directors,
   including takeovers which individual stockholders may deem to be in their
   best interests;
 
 .  the classified board of directors could delay or frustrate the removal of
   incumbent directors or the assumption of control by stockholders, even if
   the particular removal or assumption would be beneficial to our
   stockholders;
 
                                       12
<PAGE>
 
 .  discourage or make more difficult a merger, tender offer or proxy contest,
   even if such a transaction or contest could be favorable to the interests of
   stockholders; and
 
 .  potentially depress the market price of the common stock.
 
We believe that these provisions are appropriate to protect our interests and
the interests of our stockholders. The board of directors has no present plans
to adopt any other measures or devices which may be deemed to have an "anti-
takeover effect."
 
Meetings of Stockholders. Our bylaws provide that a special meeting of
stockholders may be called only by the board of directors unless otherwise
required by law. Our bylaws provide that only those matters set forth in the
notice of the special meeting may be considered or acted upon at that special
meeting, unless otherwise provided by law. In addition, our bylaws set forth
other requirements, such as advance notice and informational requirements and
time limitations on any director nomination or any new business which a
stockholder wishes to propose for consideration at an annual meeting of
stockholders.
 
No Stockholder Action by Written Consent. Our charter provides that, for so
long as we have a class of stock registered pursuant to the provisions of the
Exchange Act, any action required or permitted to be taken by our stockholders
at an annual or special meeting of stockholders must be effected at a duly
called meeting and may not be taken or effected by a written consent of
stockholders in lieu thereof.
 
Indemnification and Limitation of Liability. Our bylaws provide that we shall
indemnify our directors and officers and that in the discretion of the board of
directors we may indemnify non-officer employees to the fullest extent
authorized by Delaware law, as it now exists or may in the future be amended.
This indemnification shall be for all expenses and liabilities reasonably
incurred in connection with the provision of service for or on our behalf, and
further permits the advancing of expenses incurred in defense of claims. Our
bylaws also provide that the right of directors and officers to indemnification
shall be a contractual right and shall not be exclusive of any other right now
possessed or hereafter acquired under any bylaw, agreement, vote of
stockholders or otherwise. Our charter contains a provision permitted by
Delaware law that generally eliminates the personal liability of directors for
monetary damages for breaches of their fiduciary duty, including breaches
involving negligence or gross negligence in business combinations. However, our
charter provides that we shall not indemnify a director for breaches where the
director has:
 
 .  breached his or her duty of loyalty;
 
 .  failed to act in good faith;
 
 .  engaged in intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
 
 .  paid a dividend or approved a stock repurchase in violation of the Delaware
   General Corporation Law; or
 
 .  obtained an improper personal benefit.
 
                                       13
<PAGE>
 
This provision does not alter a director's liability under the federal
securities laws. In addition, this provision does not affect the availability
of equitable remedies, such as an injunction or rescission, for breach of
fiduciary duty.
 
Amendment of Our Charter. Our charter provides that an amendment to it must
first be approved by a majority of the board of directors and, with limited
exceptions, thereafter approved by the holders of a majority of the outstanding
shares entitled to vote on the amendment, and the affirmative vote of a
majority of the outstanding shares of each class entitled to vote thereon as a
class. In addition, the affirmative vote of not less than 80% of the
outstanding shares entitled to vote on an amendment, and the affirmative vote
of not less than 80% of the outstanding shares of each class entitled to vote
thereon as a class is required if the amendment would amend provisions of our
charter relating to:
 
 .  prohibition of stockholder action by written consent;
 
 .  establishment, composition and powers of the board of directors;
 
 .  limitation of director liability; and
 
 .  amendments to our charter.
 
Amendment of Our Bylaws. Our charter provides that our bylaws may be amended or
repealed by the board of directors or by the stockholders. An amendment or
repeal by the board of directors requires the affirmative vote of a majority of
the directors then in office. An amendment or repeal by the stockholders
requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least three-fourths of the
total votes present and eligible to be cast by holders of voting stock voting
as a single class with respect to the amendment or repeal at an annual meeting
of stockholders or a special meeting called for that purpose. However, if the
board of directors recommends that the stockholders approve the amendment or
repeal at the meeting, then the amendment or repeal shall only require the
affirmative vote of a majority of the total votes present and eligible to be
cast by holders of voting stock voting as a single class with respect to the
amendment or repeal.
 
Ability to Adopt Stockholder Rights Plan. The board of directors may in the
future resolve to take measures designed to discourage persons seeking to gain
control over us by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise,
if the change in control is not in our best interests or the best interests of
our stockholders. These measures may include:
 
 .  issuing shares of preferred stock or rights to acquire shares of preferred
   stock;
 
 .  implementing a stockholder rights plan which creates voting or other
   impediments; and
 
 .  implementing a plan to distribute shares to a third-party investor, a group
   of investors or stockholders or an employee stock ownership plan.
 
The board of directors has no present intention of taking any of these measures
and is not aware of any attempt to obtain control over us.
 
Statutory Business Combination Provision
 
We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law. Section 203 provides, with limited exceptions, that a Delaware
corporation may not engage in any of a broad
 
                                       14
<PAGE>
 
range of business combinations with a person, or an affiliate or associate of
that person, who is an "interested stockholder" for a period of three years
from the date that the person became an interested stockholder. This
prohibition does not apply where:
 
 .  the transaction resulting in a person becoming an interested stockholder, or
   the business combination, is approved by the board of directors before the
   person becomes an interested stockholder;
 
 .  the interested stockholder acquired 85% or more of our outstanding voting
   stock in the same transaction that makes it an interested stockholder,
   excluding shares owned by persons who are both officers and directors, and
   shares held by particular employee stock ownership plans; or
 
 .  on or after the date the person becomes an interested stockholder, the
   business combination is approved by the board of directors and by the
   holders of at least two-thirds of our outstanding voting stock at an annual
   or special meeting, excluding shares owned by the interested stockholder.
 
Under Section 203, an "interested stockholder" is defined, with limited
exceptions, as any person that is (1) the owner of 15% or more of the
outstanding voting stock of the corporation or (2) an affiliate or associate of
the corporation and was the owner of 15% or more of the outstanding voting
stock of the corporation at any time within the three-year period immediately
prior to the date on which it is sought to be determined whether the person is
an interested stockholder.
 
A corporation may, at its option, exclude itself from the coverage of Section
203 by amending its certificate of incorporation or bylaws by action of its
stockholders to exempt itself from coverage; provided, however, that the bylaw
or charter amendment shall not become effective until 12 months after the date
the stockholders adopt this exclusion. Neither our charter nor bylaws contain
an exclusion from Section 203.
 
Transfer Agent and Registrar
 
State Street Bank and Trust Company is the transfer agent and registrar for our
common stock.

               THE SELLING SECURITYHOLDERS AND THE OFFERED SHARES
 
Background
 
The former shareholders (the "Selling Securityholders") of Intirion Corporation
("Intirion") acquired the shares offered by this prospectus pursuant to a
merger agreement dated December 22, 1997 (the "Merger Agreement"). Our
acquisition of Intirion was consummated on March 12, 1998. The resale of the
shares by the Selling Securityholders is restricted by Rule 145 promulgated
under the Securities Act, and shares cannot be transferred unless (1) their
resale is registered under the Securities Act or (2) they are transferred in
accordance with Rule 145 or another exemption from registration under the
Securities Act.
 
Registration Rights Agreement
 
In connection with the merger, we entered into a registration rights agreement
(the "Registration Rights Agreement") with the Selling Securityholders. The
material provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement are set forth below. A
copy of the Registration Rights Agreement has been filed as an exhibit to the
registration statement and can be obtained in the manner described under
"Available Information."
 
Resale Registration. To facilitate the resale by the Selling Securityholders of
the shares offered hereby, we have agreed to use our best efforts to file and
cause to become effective under the Securities Act no later than April 12, 1998
a resale registration statement covering all of the shares. The registration
statement, of which this prospectus is a part, satisfies that obligation. We
have agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the registration
statement continuously effective for a period ending with the earlier of (a)
the sale of all the shares and (b) March 12, 1999.
 
Piggyback Registration. If at any time or times prior to March 12, 2000, we
shall determine to register under the Securities Act any shares of our common
stock, the Selling Securityholders shall have the right, except in limited
situations, to request that the registration include some or all of the shares
held by them. In the event of such a request, we shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to cause the shares to be included in the registration on
the same terms and conditions as any similar securities included in the
registration and to permit the sale or other disposition of the shares in
accordance with the intended method of distribution.
 
Certain Other Provisions. We will pay all expenses incident to our performance
of our registration obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement,
including the reasonable fees and expenses of one counsel reasonably
satisfactory to us retained in connection with each registration by the Selling
Securityholders of the shares being registered. The Selling Securityholders
will be responsible for underwriting commissions or discounts, transfer taxes,
if any, attributable to the sale of the shares, any fees or expenses of any
counsel, accountants or other persons retained or employed by the Selling
Securityholders, other than the fees and expenses of one legal counsel as
provided above, and out-of-pocket expenses of the Selling Securityholders and
their agents, including, without limitation, any travel costs.
 
The Registration Rights Agreement contains customary indemnification provisions
whereby we are obligated to indemnify and hold harmless the Selling
Securityholders and specific related parties, and
 
                                       16
<PAGE>
 
the Selling Securityholders are obligated under certain circumstances to
indemnify and hold us and specific related parties harmless, in each case in
connection with liabilities relating to the registration of the shares.

<PAGE>
 
                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
 
The Selling Securityholders may sell the shares:
 
 .  directly to purchasers as principals or through one or more underwriters,
   brokers, dealers or agents from time to time in one or more transactions,
   which may involve crosses or block transactions;
 
 .  on any exchange or in the over-the-counter market;
 
 .  in transactions otherwise than in the over-the-counter market or on an
   exchange;
 
 .  through the writing of options on the shares, whether these options are
   listed on an options exchange or otherwise; or
 
 .  through settlement of short sales of the shares.
 
The price at which the Selling Securityholders sell the shares, which will be
determined by the Selling Securityholders or by agreement between the Selling
Securityholders and underwriters, brokers, dealers, agents or purchasers, may
be:
 
 .  the market price prevailing at the time of sale;
 
 .  a price related to the prevailing market price;
 
 .  varying prices determined at the time of sale; or
 
 .  negotiated or fixed prices.
 
If the Selling Securityholders effect transactions by selling the shares to or
through underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents, then the underwriters,
brokers, dealers or agents may receive compensation in the form of discounts,
concessions or commissions from the Selling Securityholders or commissions from
purchasers of the shares for whom they may act as agent. Any discounts,
concessions or commissions as to particular underwriters, brokers, dealers or
agents may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions
involved. The Selling Securityholders and any brokers, dealers or agents that
participate in the distribution of the shares may be deemed to be
"underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any profit they
make on the sale of the shares and any discounts, concessions or commissions
they receive may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under
the Securities Act.
 
The anti-manipulation rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
including Regulation M, may apply to sales of the shares in the market and to
the activities of the Selling Securityholders and broker-dealers or agents
acting on their behalf, as well as to purchasers who have a control
relationship or are acting with the Selling Securityholders or these broker-
dealers and agents. Regulation M applies to persons involved in "distributions"
of securities, which are sales that differ from ordinary brokerage transactions
because of their size and special efforts to sell the securities. If the
Selling Securityholders or these other parties are engaged in a distribution of
the shares, Regulation M would generally prohibit bids for and purchases of the
shares during a specified period beginning before the person's involvement in
the distribution and ending when the person was no longer participating in the
distribution. Regulation M also prohibits bids and purchases that are
 
                                       18
<PAGE>
 
related to offers of the shares by the Selling Securityholders and are intended
to fix or maintain the price of the shares on the market. The general effect of
Regulation M is to prohibit market transactions by or on behalf of the Selling
Securityholders that would have the effect of maintaining or stabilizing the
market price of the shares.
 
To the extent not described herein and as otherwise required by law, the
specific amount of the shares being offered or sold, the names of the Selling
Securityholders, the respective purchase prices and public offering prices, the
names of any agent, dealer or underwriter, and any applicable commissions or
discounts with respect to a particular offer or sale will be set forth in an
accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective
amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.
 
We will not receive any of the proceeds of the sale of the shares by any
Selling Securityholder.
 
Under the securities laws of various states, the shares may be sold in those
states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in
some states the shares may not be sold unless the shares have been registered
or qualified for sale in that state or an exemption from registration or
qualification is available and is complied with.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
 
In accordance with Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the
"DGCL"), Article VII of the charter of Mac-Gray Corporation (the "Mac-Gray
Charter") provides that no director of Mac-Gray Corporation ("Mac-Gray") shall
be personally liable to Mac-Gray or its stockholders for monetary damages for
breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach
of the director's duty of loyalty to Mac-Gray or its stockholders, (ii) for
acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or
a knowing violation of law, (iii) in respect of certain unlawful dividend
payments or stock redemptions or repurchases, or (iv) for any transaction from
which the director derived an improper personal benefit. In addition, the Mac-
Gray Charter provides that if the DGCL is amended to authorize the further
elimination or limitation of the liability of directors, then the liability of
a director of Mac-Gray shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent
permitted by the DGCL, as so amended.
 
Article V of the bylaws of Mac-Gray (the "Mac-Gray Bylaws") provides for
indemnification by Mac-Gray of its directors and officers and certain non-
officer employees under certain circumstances against expenses (including
attorneys fees, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement)
reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of any
threatened, pending or completed legal proceeding in which any such person is
involved by reason of the fact that such person is or was an officer or
employee of Mac-Gray unless it is determined that such person did not act in
good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of Mac-Gray, and, with respect to criminal
actions or proceedings, such person had no reasonable cause to believe his or
her conduct was unlawful.
 
Mac-Gray has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors
reflecting the foregoing provisions of the Mac-Gray By-laws and requiring the
advancement of expenses in proceedings involving directors in most
circumstances and also intends to purchase directors' and
 
                                      II-1

officers' insurance to provide additional protections to the directors and
officers of Mac-Gray in certain circumstances.

Item 17. Undertakings.
 
(a) Mac-Gray hereby undertakes:
 
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-
    effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
 
  (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
      Securities Act of 1933;
 
                                      II-2
<PAGE>
 
  (ii)  To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
        effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent
        post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
        aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth
        in this Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
        increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total
        dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
        registered) may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the
        Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes
        in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the
        maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
        Registration Fee" table in the effective Registration Statement;
 
  (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
        distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement
        or any material change to such information in the Registration
        Statement;
 
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) herein do not apply
if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by
those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the undersigned
registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are
incorporated by reference in the registration statement;
 
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act
    of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
    Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
    offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
    bona fide offering thereof;
 
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of
    the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of
    the offering.
 
(b) The registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant's annual
report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where
applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to
Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the
registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of Mac-
Gray, Mac-Gray has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event
that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment by Mac-Gray in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, Mac-Gray will, unless in the
opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
