On December 22, 2021, Christopher Lahoud resigned from the Board of Directors of Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), effective upon completion of the purchase of the shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series A Preferred Shares”) held by investment funds, accounts and other entities owned (in whole or in part), controlled, managed or advised by Apollo Capital Management, L.P. and its affiliates (collectively, “Apollo”) in the Offer (as defined below). Mr. Lahoud’s resignation did not result from any disagreement with the Company. Effective upon completion of the purchase of Apollo’s Series A Preferred Shares in the Offer, Apollo will no longer have the right to designate a member or an observer of the Company’s Board of Directors.

On December 22, 2021, the Company issued a press release announcing the final results of the Offer and related Consent Solicitation described in Item 8.01 below.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

On November 23, 2021, the Company announced the commencement of a tender offer to purchase all of its issued and outstanding Series A Preferred Shares, at a price of $1,250.00 per Series A Preferred Share, to the holders in cash, less any applicable withholding taxes (the “Offer”) and a related consent solicitation (the “Consent Solicitation”) to amend the certificate of designation of the Series A Preferred Shares (the “Proposed Amendment”), which expired at midnight (at the end of the day), Eastern Time, on Tuesday, December 21, 2021. Based on the final tabulation by Computershare Trust Company, N.A., the depositary for the Offer and Consent Solicitation, all Series A Preferred Shares were tendered and not withdrawn in the Offer, and corresponding consents have been delivered in the Consent Solicitation. Pursuant to the terms of the Offer and Consent Solicitation, the Company has accepted for purchase all of the Series A Preferred Shares tendered in the Offer, for an aggregate purchase price of $1,875,000,000.  Based on the final results of the Consent Solicitation, the requisite consent of at least a majority of the outstanding Series A Preferred Shares required to approve the Proposed Amendment was obtained, although it will not be necessary to implement the Proposed Amendment in light of the fact that all Series A Preferred Shares were tendered in the Offer.
