ESTERO, Fla., Dec. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:HTZ) ("Hertz" or the "Company"), a leading global rental car company, today announced that its wholly-owned indirect subsidiary, The Hertz Corporation ("Hertz Corp."), has priced $500 million in aggregate principal amount of additional 12.625% First Lien Senior Secured Notes due 2029 (the "Notes") in a private offering exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The Notes will constitute a further issuance of Hertz Corp.'s 12.625% First Lien Senior Secured Notes due 2029, which were issued on June 28, 2024 (the "Existing Notes"). The Notes will have identical terms and conditions (other than the issue date and issue price) as the Existing Notes. Upon completion of the offering, Hertz Corp. will have $1.25 billion in aggregate principal amount of 12.625% First Lien Senior Secured Notes due 2029 outstanding. The offering is expected to close on or about December 12, 2024, subject to customary closing conditions.

Hertz Corp. intends to use the net proceeds from the issuance of the Notes to repay outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility, to pay the consent fees associated with concurrent consent solicitations to amend the terms of the indentures governing the Notes and the Company's 8.000% Exchangeable Senior Second-Lien PIK Notes due 2029, and for general corporate purposes.

The Notes will be issued at 107.732%, plus pre-issuance accrued interest from and including June 28, 2024. The Notes will bear interest at a rate of 12.625% per annum payable semi-annually in cash in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning on January 15, 2025, and will mature on July 15, 2029.

The Notes will be guaranteed by the Company, Rental Car Intermediate Holdings, LLC, Hertz Corp.'s direct parent company, and each of Hertz Corp.'s existing domestic subsidiaries and future restricted subsidiaries that guarantees indebtedness under Hertz Corp.'s first lien credit facilities or certain other indebtedness for borrowed money. The Notes and the related guarantees (other than the guarantee by the Company) will be secured (subject to certain exceptions and permitted liens) on a first-lien basis by the same assets (other than certain excluded property) that secure indebtedness under Hertz Corp.'s first lien credit facilities (the "Collateral") and therefore will be effectively pari passu with indebtedness under Hertz Corp.'s first lien credit facilities and its existing 12.625% First Lien Senior Secured Notes due 2029.

The Notes and the guarantees of the Notes were offered only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to non-U.S. persons outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Notes and the guarantees of the Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements under the Securities Act and the securities laws of any other jurisdiction.

This press release is not an offer to sell or purchase, or a solicitation of an offer to sell or purchase, the Notes or the guarantees of the Notes and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any state or jurisdiction in which, or to any person to whom such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
