This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO, originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 19, 2025 (together with any amendments and supplements thereto, the “Schedule TO”), and is filed by Herc Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Herc”), and HR Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and direct wholly owned subsidiary of Herc (“Merger Sub”). This Amendment relates to the offer by Merger Sub to exchange for each outstanding share of common stock of H&E Equipment Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“H&E”), par value $0.01 per share (“H&E shares”), validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the offer: $78.75 in cash and 0.1287 of a share of Herc common stock, par value $0.01 per share (which we refer to as “Herc common stock”), together with cash in lieu of any fractional H&E shares, in each case without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes (such consideration, the “transaction consideration,” and such offer, on the terms and subject to the conditions and procedures set forth in the prospectus/offer to exchange, dated March 19, 2025 (the “Prospectus/Offer to Exchange”), and in the related letter of transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”), together with any amendments or supplements thereto, the “Offer”).

Except as otherwise set forth in this Amendment, all information as set forth in the Schedule TO, including all exhibits and annexes thereto that were previously filed with the Schedule TO, remains unchanged and is incorporated herein by reference to the extent relevant to the items in this Amendment. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule TO.

“The Offer, which was previously scheduled to expire at one minute after 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on April 15, 2025, is being extended in accordance with the Merger Agreement to one minute after 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on April 29, 2025, unless further extended in accordance with the Merger Agreement. The Depository and Paying Agent for the Offer has advised Herc that as of close of business on April 15, 2025, a total of 17,906,866 H&E shares were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the Offer, representing approximately 48.84% of the outstanding H&E shares, and an additional 385,504 H&E shares were tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures, representing approximately an additional 1.05% of the outstanding H&E shares. The Offer was extended to allow additional time for the satisfaction of the remaining conditions of the Offer, including receipt of applicable regulatory approvals.”
