H&E EQUIPMENT SERVICES, INC. ANNOUNCES COMMENCEMENT OF

ADD-ON OFFERING OF SENIOR NOTES

BATON ROUGE, Louisiana — (November 20, 2017) — H&E Equipment Services, Inc. (NASDAQ: HEES) (the “Company” or “H&E”) today announced that it commenced an offering through a private placement, subject to market and other conditions, of $200 million in aggregate principal amount of its 5.625% Senior Notes due 2025 (the “New Notes”).

The New Notes will be issued under the same indenture pursuant to which H&E previously issued $750 million in aggregate principal amount of its 5.625% Senior Notes due 2025 (the “Existing Notes”). The New Notes offered by H&E will have identical terms to the Existing Notes, other than the issue date and the issue price and will be treated as a single class of notes with the Existing Notes for all purposes under the indenture. The New Notes will have the same CUSIP and ISIN numbers as, and will be fungible with, the Existing Notes. The New Notes will be the senior unsecured obligations of the Company and will be guaranteed by the Company’s current and future significant domestic restricted subsidiaries.

The Company expects to use the net proceeds from the offering to repay indebtedness outstanding under its existing ABL credit facility, to fund potential acquisitions in connection with its ongoing strategy of acquiring rental companies to complement its existing business and footprint, for general corporate purposes and to pay fees and expenses in connection with the offering.

The New Notes and related guarantees are being offered in a private placement, solely to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or outside the United States to persons other than “U.S. persons” in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. The New Notes and related guarantees have not been 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.

This notice does not constitute an offer to sell the New Notes, nor a solicitation for an offer to purchase the New Notes, in any jurisdiction in which such offer or solicitation would be unlawful. Any offer of the New Notes will be made only by means of a private offering memorandum. This press release is being issued pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 135c under the Securities Act.
