See “Item 1—Business—Our Company—Corporate History” in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Hertz Holdings for the year ended December 31, 2008, which is incorporated herein by reference, for a detailed description of the funds used to acquire the common stock of The Hertz Corporation.


ITEM 4. Purpose of Transaction

The acquisition by Carlyle Partners IV, L.P. and CP IV Coinvestment, L.P. of Shares pursuant to the Carlyle Partners IV Subscription Agreement and the CP IV Coinvestment Subscription Agreement is for general investment purposes. The Carlyle Hertz Funds may seek to sell the Shares they currently hold and, in the cases of Carlyle Partners IV, L.P. and CP IV Coinvestment, L.P., the Shares to be acquired pursuant to the Carlyle Partners IV Subscription Agreement and the CP IV Coinvestment Subscription Agreement, in the ordinary course of business.

(a)

Subscription Agreements

On May 19, 2009, Carlyle Partners IV, L.P. and CP IV Coinvestment, L.P. entered into, respectively, the Carlyle Partners IV Subscription Agreement and the CP IV Coinvestment Subscription Agreement, and each of Clayton Dubilier & Rice Fund VII, L.P. and CD&R Parallel Fund VII, L.P. (such stockholders, together with Carlyle Partners IV, L.P. and CP IV Coinvestment, L.P., the “Subscribing Stockholders”) entered into a substantially identical Subscription Agreement (the Carlyle Partners IV Subscription Agreement and the CP IV Coinvestment Subscription Agreement, together with such other Subscription Agreements, the “Subscription Agreements”) with Hertz Holdings, pursuant to which each Subscribing Stockholder agreed to purchase, and Hertz Holdings agreed to issue and sell, Shares in the Private Offering. The Subscription Agreements were entered into substantially concurrently with the Common Stock Public Offering and a public offering of $450,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2014 of Hertz Holdings. Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, the Subscribing Stockholders have agreed to purchase from Hertz Holdings in the Private Offering an aggregate of 32,101,182 Shares, at a purchase price per share equal to $6.2303, which is the price per share paid by the public in the Common Stock Public Offering, less the underwriting discounts and commission payable to the underwriters in the Common Stock Public Offering. Pursuant to the Carlyle Partners IV Subscription Agreement and the CP IV Coinvestment Subscription Agreement, Carlyle Partners IV, L.P. and CP IV Coinvestment, L.P. have agreed to purchase, respectively, 11,570,644 and 467,299 Shares. The closing of the purchase of Shares under the Subscription Agreements is subject to certain closing conditions, including the closing of the Common Stock Public Offering (which closed on May 27, 2009), the receipt of applicable governmental approvals (including clearance under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act) and the expiration of the twenty day period following filing and mailing by Hertz Holdings of an information statement pursuant to SEC Regulation 14C. The description of the Subscription Agreements contained herein is a summary only, and is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Carlyle Partners IV Subscription Agreement and the CP IV Coinvestment Subscription Agreement, which are filed as Exhibits 2 and 3, respectively, to this Schedule 13D.


Following the consummation of the Private Offering, the Carlyle Hertz Funds will own in the aggregate 71,287,943 Shares, which will represent approximately 17.4% of the outstanding Common Stock based on the number of Shares expected to be outstanding as of the closing date of the Private Offering (which is expected to occur in the second quarter of 2009). At present and without giving effect to the consummation of the Private Offering, the Carlyle Hertz Funds own in the aggregate 59,250,000 Shares, which represents approximately 15.7% of the outstanding Common Stock based on the number of Shares outstanding as of June 3, 2009, following the consummation of the Common Stock Public Offering and the exercise by the underwriters in the Common Stock Public Offering of their overallotment option.

(f)

Following the Common Stock Public Offering, Hertz Holdings ceased to be a “controlled company” as such designation is defined in the listing requirements of the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (the “NYSE”), the securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed. As a result of losing “controlled company” status, Hertz Holdings was required to adopt certain changes in its corporate governance arrangements, including (i) the creation of the Nominating and Governance Committee of Hertz Holdings with at least one member meeting the NYSE independence requirements, (ii) the addition of at least one member meeting the NYSE independence requirements to the Compensation Committee of Hertz Holdings, (iii) the adoption of an amended and restated charter of the Compensation Committee of Hertz Holdings and a charter of the Nominating and Governance Committee of Hertz Holdings, and (iv) certain conforming changes to Hertz Holdings’ by-laws, Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and Corporate Governance Guidelines (collectively, the “NYSE Governance Reforms”).

The consummation of the Private Offering is expected to restore “controlled company” status to Hertz Holdings and thereby remove the requirement for the NYSE Governance Reforms or future governance changes that would otherwise be mandated by the phase-in provisions of the NYSE’s listing requirements applicable to former controlled companies. The CD&R Hertz Funds have no definitive plans with respect to the NYSE Governance Reforms in the event that “controlled company” status is so restored.

Each Reporting Person expects to evaluate on an ongoing basis the Issuer’s financial condition and prospects and its interest in, and intentions with respect to, the Issuer. Accordingly, each Reporting Person reserves the right to change its plans and intentions at any time, as it deems appropriate.


In particular, each Reporting Person may at any time and from time to time, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, acquire additional securities of the Issuer; dispose of all or a portion of the securities of the Issuer that the Reporting Persons now own or may hereafter acquire; and/or enter into derivative transactions with institutional counterparties with respect to the Issuer’s securities. In addition, the Reporting Persons may engage in discussions with management, the Issuer’s board of directors, other stockholders of the Issuer and other relevant parties concerning the business, operations, board composition, management, strategy and future plans of the Issuer. Pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, the Reporting Persons directly holding Shares are entitled to nominate, and other significant stockholders that are parties to the Stockholders Agreements are required to vote in favor of, nominees to the board of directors of the Issuer, which will afford access to, and participation in, deliberations of the board of directors regarding the business, operations, board composition, management, strategy and future plans of the Issuer.

As a result of these activities, and subject to the limitations set forth in the Stockholders Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement (in each case, as defined below), one or more of the Reporting Persons may suggest or take a position with respect to potential changes in the operations, management, or capital structure of the Issuer as a means of enhancing shareholder value. Such suggestions or positions may include, but are not limited to, one or more plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions required to be reported herein, including, without limitation, such matters as disposing of one or more businesses; selling the Issuer or acquiring another company or business; changing operating or marketing strategies; adopting, not adopting, modifying, or eliminating certain types of anti-takeover measures; restructuring the Issuer’s capitalization; reviewing dividend and compensation policies; entering into agreements with third parties relating to acquisitions of securities issued or to be issued by the Issuer; entering into agreements with the management of the Issuer relating to acquisitions of Shares by members of management, issuance of options to management, or their employment by the Issuer.

To the knowledge of each Reporting Person, each of the persons listed on Schedule A hereto may make the same evaluation and reserve the same rights.

Except as described in Items 3 and 6 of this Schedule 13D which are incorporated herein by reference, the Reporting Persons have no present plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions required to be reported herein.

Any solicitation of proxies will only be made by way of a definitive proxy statement and a form of proxy. Stockholders of the Issuer are advised to read any proxy statement or other documents related to a solicitation of proxies that may be made by the Reporting Persons. When and if completed, a definitive proxy statement and a form of proxy will be mailed to shareholders of the Issuer and will be available at no charge at the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.

Subscription Agreements

Carlyle Partners IV, L.P. and CP IV Coinvestment, L.P. have each entered into a Subscription Agreement with Hertz Holdings. See “Item 4(a)—Subscription Agreements.”

In addition, the Stockholders Agreement requires the parties to vote their Shares pursuant to the instructions of certain groups of investors with respect to certain change of control transactions. The aggregate number of Shares to be beneficially owned collectively by the Carlyle Hertz Funds, the CD&R Hertz Funds, the Merrill Lynch Hertz Funds and CMC-Hertz Partners, L.P. following the completion of the Private Offering is 209,879,167, which after completion of the Private Offering is expected to represent approximately 51% of the Shares outstanding. The stock ownership reported for the Reporting Persons (including the Carlyle Hertz Funds) does not include any Shares owned by other parties to the Stockholders Agreement. Each of the Reporting Persons disclaims beneficial ownership of any Shares owned by the other parties to the Stockholders Agreement.

RECITALS

The Company desires to engage in a public offering for the issuance and sale of shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”), having an aggregate offering price of up to $299 million exclusive of any overallotment option (the “Public Offering”). Concurrently with the Public Offering, the Company desires to engage in a private offering of shares of Common Stock to the Subscriber and certain other parties, subject to the representations, warranties, covenants and conditions set forth herein (the “Private Offering”).

The Company, Subscriber and certain other parties have entered into an Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement, dated as of November 20, 2006 (as the same may be amended from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “Stockholders Agreement”), setting forth certain agreements with respect to, among other things, the management of the Company and transfers of their respective shares in various circumstances. The Company, Subscriber and certain other parties have also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of December 21, 2005, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto, dated as of November 20, 2006 (as the same may be further amended from time to time in accordance with its terms and the Stockholders Agreement, the “Registration Rights Agreement”) setting forth certain agreements with respect to, among other things, the registration, under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), of any shares of Common Stock held by the Subscriber that constitute Registrable Securities, as such term is defined in the Registration Rights Agreement.

In connection with the Private Offering, the Subscriber desires to purchase, and the Company desire to sell to the Subscriber, shares of Common Stock, subject to and in accordance with this Agreement.

1.2. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Sections 5.1 and 5.2 hereof, the closing of the sale and purchase of the Common Stock provided for in Section 1.1 hereof (the “Closing”) shall take place at 10:00 a.m. (local time) at the offices of Debevoise & Plimpton LLP, 919 Third Avenue, New York, New York, on such date as may be agreed upon by the Company and the Subscriber that is within three business days after the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 5.1 and 5.2 hereof, or on such other time and date as may be agreed by the Company and the Subscriber.

3.7. The issue and sale of the Shares to be sold by the Company and the compliance by the Company with this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions herein contemplated will not (i) conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of the Designated Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of the Designated Subsidiaries is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Company or any of the Designated Subsidiaries is subject, (ii) violate any provision of the certificate of incorporation or by laws of the Company or the Designated Subsidiaries or (iii) violate any statute or any order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over the Company or any of the Designated Subsidiaries or any of their properties; except, in the case of clauses (i) and (iii), as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, in the case of each such clause, after giving effect to any consents, approvals, authorizations, orders, registrations, qualifications, waivers and amendments as will have been obtained or made as of the date of this Agreement; and no consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any such court or governmental agency or body is required for the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of its obligations under this Agreement, including the issue and sale of the Shares to be sold by the Company, or the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except (a) such consents, approvals, authorizations, registrations or qualifications as may be required under foreign, state, securities or “blue sky” laws or FINRA, in connection with the issue and sale of the Shares by the Company, and (b) where the failure to obtain or make any such consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

3.8. Neither the Company nor any of the Designated Subsidiaries is (i) in violation of its certificate of incorporation or by-laws or (ii) in default in the performance or observance of any obligation, covenant or condition contained in any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, lease or other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties may be bound, except in the case of clause (ii) for any violation or default that would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

3.9. Other than as set forth in the Exchange Act Reports, there are no legal or governmental proceedings pending to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or of which any property of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is the subject which would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and, to the knowledge of the Company, no such proceedings are threatened by governmental authorities or by others.

3.10. The Company is not, and after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Shares and the application of the proceeds thereof will not be, an “investment company,” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

-4-


3.12. The Company maintains a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations; transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and to maintain asset accountability; access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; and the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences.

3.13. Since December 31, 2008, to the knowledge of the Company, there has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially adversely affected, or would reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

3.14. The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that comply with the requirements of the Exchange Act; such disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to ensure that material information relating to the Company and its subsidiaries is made known to the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer by others within those entities; and such disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

3.15. Except as disclosed in the Exchange Act Reports, there is no claim pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened under any Environmental Law (as defined below) against the Company or its subsidiaries that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The term “Environmental Law” means any federal, local or foreign law, regulation, ordinance, order, judgment decree, permit or rule (including rule of common law) now in effect governing pollution, or actual or alleged exposure to, hazardous or toxic materials, substances or wastes, including but not limited to, asbestos or asbestos-containing materials.

3.16. There is no strike or labor dispute, slowdown or work stoppage with the employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries which is pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened, except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

3.17.

Neither the Company nor any of the Designated Subsidiaries is (i) in violation of its certificate of incorporation or by-laws or (ii) in default in the performance or observance of any obligation, covenant or condition contained in any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, lease or other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties may be bound, except in the case of clause (ii) for any violation or default that would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

3.9. Other than as set forth in the Exchange Act Reports, there are no legal or governmental proceedings pending to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or of which any property of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is the subject which would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and, to the knowledge of the Company, no such proceedings are threatened by governmental authorities or by others.

3.10. The Company is not, and after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Shares and the application of the proceeds thereof will not be, an “investment company,” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

3.11. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, who has audited certain consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries, and have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and management’s assessment thereof are independent public accountants as required by the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) thereunder.

 

-4-


3.12. The Company maintains a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations; transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and to maintain asset accountability; access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; and the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences.

3.13. Since December 31, 2008, to the knowledge of the Company, there has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially adversely affected, or would reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

3.14. The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that comply with the requirements of the Exchange Act; such disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to ensure that material information relating to the Company and its subsidiaries is made known to the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer by others within those entities; and such disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

3.15. Except as disclosed in the Exchange Act Reports, there is no claim pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened under any Environmental Law (as defined below) against the Company or its subsidiaries that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The term “Environmental Law” means any federal, local or foreign law, regulation, ordinance, order, judgment decree, permit or rule (including rule of common law) now in effect governing pollution, or actual or alleged exposure to, hazardous or toxic materials, substances or wastes, including but not limited to, asbestos or asbestos-containing materials.

3.16. There is no strike or labor dispute, slowdown or work stoppage with the employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries which is pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened, except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

3.17. The Company and its subsidiaries collectively carry insurance (including self-insurance, if any) in such amounts and covering such risks as in the Company’s reasonable determination is adequate for the conduct of the business and the value of its properties, except where the failure to carry such insurance would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

3.18. The Company and its subsidiaries collectively own, or have the legal right to use, all United States patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark applications, trade names, copyrights, technology, know-how and processes necessary for them to conduct the business as currently conducted (the “Intellectual Property”), except for those disclosed in the Exchange Act Reports or the failure to own or have such legal right to use would not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as disclosed in the Exchange Act Reports, no claim has been asserted and is pending by any person challenging or questioning the use of any such Intellectual Property or the validity or effectiveness of any such Intellectual Property, nor does the Company know of any such claim, and, to the knowledge of the Company, the use of such

 

-5-


Intellectual Property by the Company and its subsidiaries does not infringe on the rights of any person, except for such claims and infringements which in the aggregate, would not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

3.19. The Company has filed or caused to be filed all United States federal income tax returns and all other material tax returns which are required to be filed and has paid (a) all taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns and (b) all taxes shown to be due and payable on any assessments of which it has received notice made against it or any of its property and all other taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its property by any governmental authority (other than any (i) taxes, fees or other charges with respect to which the failure to pay, in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) taxes, fees or other charges the amount or validity of which are currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of the Company). No tax lien has been filed, and no claim is being asserted, with respect to any such tax, fee or other charge.

3.20. The Company has not taken, directly or indirectly, any action designed to or that could reasonably be expected to cause or result in any stabilization or manipulation of the price of the Common Stock listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
