On June 26, 2019, Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. (“Hertz Global” or the “Company”) commenced its previously announced rights offering to raise proceeds of up to $750 million (the “rights offering”). The rights offering is being made to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-231878) (the “Registration Statement”) that was previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and became effective on June 12, 2019, and the prospectus supplement relating the rights offering filed with the SEC on June 13, 2019>(together with the accompanying prospectus, the “Prospectus”).

to the rights offering, each stockholder of the Company will receive one transferable subscription right (“right”) for each share of common stock held as of 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on June 24, 2019 (the “record date”). Each right entitles the holder to purchase 0.688285 shares of our common stock (the “basic subscription right”), at the subscription price of $12.95 per whole share of common stock (the “subscription price”). Rights holders who fully exercise their basic subscription rights will be entitled to subscribe for additional shares of the Company’s common stock that remain unsubscribed as a result of any unexercised basic subscription rights (the “over-subscription right”). The rights offering expires at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on July 12, 2019, unless extended by the Company.

In connection with this rights offering, the Company is filing certain ancillary agreements as Exhibits 4.1, 99.1, 99.2, 99.3, 99.4, 99.5 and 99.6 to this Current Report on Form 8-K for the purpose of incorporating such items by reference as exhibits to the Registration Statement, to which the Prospectus is a part. Also in connection with the rights offering, the Company is filing as Exhibit 5.1, the opinion of White & Case, LLP, in connection with the issuance of the rights and the underlying common stock issuable upon exercise of the rights.

This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the securities, nor shall there be any offer, solicitation or sale of the securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful under the securities laws of such state or jurisdiction. The rights offering will be made only by means of the Prospectus, copies of which will be mailed to all eligible record date shareholders and can be accessed through the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. A copy of the Prospectus may also be obtained from the information agent, Georgeson LLC, toll free at (888) 607-6511.

The Company believes these judgments are reasonable, but you should understand that these statements are not guarantees of performance or results, and the Company’s actual results could differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements due to a variety of important factors, both positive and negative, that may be revised or supplemented in subsequent reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K filed or furnished to the SEC.
