On December 5, 2024, The Hertz Corporation (“Hertz Corp.”), the primary operating company and wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. (the “Company,” “Hertz Holdings,” “we,” “us” or “our”), issued a press release to announce the pricing of $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of its additional 12.625% First Lien Senior Secured Notes due 2029 (the “Notes”). 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.
Hertz Corp. intends to use the net proceeds from the issuance of the Notes to repay outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility and to pay the consent fees and other expenses 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. The offering is expected to close on December 12, 2024.
A copy of the press release issued by the Company announcing the pricing of the offerings is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.

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.
In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information included in this Item 7.01 and Exhibit 99.1 shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise be subject to the liabilities of Section 18 of the Exchange Act.
