    UFODRIVE is the first all-digital, all-electric car rental service controlled from an app. Its advanced eMobility SaaS Platform makes transitioning to electric easy for both customers and fleet providers – delivering lean operations, lower energy costs, better charging and optimal fleet utilization using advanced AI tools. UFODRIVE’s technology delivers a two-minute ‘arrive and drive’ entirely digital EV customer experience.

    The partnership builds on Hertz’s announcement in October 2021 that the company is investing in EVs – with a commitment to offer the largest electric vehicle rental fleet in North America and to grow its EV fleet globally. Hertz also committed to providing the best rental and recharging experience for leisure and business customers around the world. Also in October, the company announced an exclusive partnership with Uber to make Tesla electric vehicles available for drivers to rent when using the Uber network.

    UFODRIVE’s Series A financing round was co-led by Hertz and Certares, in partnership with Knighthead Capital Management, and included participation from existing investors. Hertz Senior Vice President of Strategy, Jayesh Patel, and Venture Lead at Certares, Chantal Noble Haldorsen, will join the UFODRIVE board.

    "Our partnership with UFODRIVE is yet another major step in Hertz becoming an essential component of the modern mobility ecosystem," said Mark Fields, Hertz interim CEO. "Together, we will pilot ways to make renting an EV even easier using UFODRIVE’s digital platforms for both the rental experience and fleet management. For customers, this partnership will help us create the future rental car experience that is all-digital and EV-centric."

    "Born from a vision to deliver what we call ‘Radically Better Car Rental,’ this investment is a major validation of that dream," said Aidan McClean, UFODRIVE CEO. "We are proud that we are helping to accelerate the transition to zero-emissions mobility, and our investors see the opportunity ahead."

    McClean added: "We pioneered and are now the premier operating system for electric fleets and already service a growing list of high-profile mobility companies."

    Following successful live testing in 2021, Hertz aims to deploy UFODRIVE’S market-leading digital rental and fleet management technology to enhance its global EV fleet operations. Starting with Hertz’s key partners in the U.S. and Europe, this will offer a fully digital rental experience, charge point wayfinding, touchless smartphone access and online customer support with live telematics using UFODRIVE’s SaaS platform.

    UFODRIVE will use the additional capital to accelerate product development and to expand globally, with a focus on the U.S. market. Founded in 2018, UFODRIVE’s success is based on environmentalism, superb customer experiences and an eye to what modern consumers need. The business has experienced sustained growth throughout the pandemic, opening new locations as well as adding home delivery and subscription to its existing rental operation.

    ESTERO, Fla., Nov. 23, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: HTZ) ("Hertz" or the "Company") announced that it is commencing today a tender offer to purchase all of its outstanding Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Series A Preferred Shares"), at a price per Series A Preferred Share of $1,250.00, less any applicable withholding taxes. The tender offer will expire at midnight (at the end of the day), Eastern Standard Time, on Tuesday, December 21, 2021, unless the offer is extended. Tenders of Series A Preferred Shares must be made prior to the expiration of the tender offer and may be withdrawn at any time prior to the expiration time, in each case, in accordance with the procedures described in the tender offer materials. The Company intends to pay for the shares repurchased in the tender offer with available cash, including proceeds from an offering of senior notes completed by the Company on November 23, 2021.

    Stockholders whose Series A Preferred Shares are purchased in the tender offer will be paid $1,250.00 in cash, less any applicable withholding taxes, for each share after the expiration of the tender offer. As of November 23, 2021, there were 1,500,000 Series A Preferred Shares outstanding.

    Concurrently with the tender offer, the Company is also soliciting consents from holders of the Series A Preferred Shares to amend (the "Proposed Amendment") the certificate of designation of the Series A Preferred Shares (as amended to date, the "Certificate of Designation") from and after the effective date of the Proposed Amendment to eliminate Section 8(b)(viii) of the Certificate of Designation.

    Pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designation, the consent of holders of a majority of the outstanding Series A Preferred Shares is required to approve the Proposed Amendment. Therefore, one of the conditions to the adoption of the Proposed Amendment is the receipt of the consent of holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Series A Preferred Shares. 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"), as holders of a majority of the outstanding Series A Preferred Shares, have agreed on the terms and subject to the conditions contained in an agreement between Hertz and Apollo to tender in the Offer their shares referred to therein and to consent to the Proposed Amendment. Accordingly, we expect the Proposed Amendment will be approved and become effective promptly following the conclusion of the Offer.

    Computershare Trust Company, N.A. is serving as the depositary for the tender offer. Once commenced, please direct all questions relating to the tender offer to the Company via e-mail at investorrelations@hertz.com.

    The tender offer will not be contingent upon the receipt of financing or any minimum number of Series A Preferred Shares being tendered. However, the tender offer and consent solicitation are subject to a number of other terms and conditions, which will be described in detail in the offer to purchase for the tender offer and consent solicitation. Specific instructions and a complete explanation of the terms and conditions of the tender offer will be contained in the offer to purchase, the related letter of transmittal and other related materials, which will be provided to stockholders of record promptly after commencement of the tender offer.

    While the Hertz Board of Directors has authorized Hertz to make the tender offer and consent solicitation, neither Hertz, its Board of Directors nor the depository makes any recommendation as to whether to tender and consent to the Proposed Amendment or refrain from tendering Series A Preferred Shares. Hertz has not authorized any person to make any such recommendation. Stockholders must make their own decision as to whether to tender some or all of their Series A Preferred Shares and consent to the Proposed Amendment. In doing so, stockholders should consult their own financial and tax advisors and read carefully and evaluate the information in the tender offer and consent solicitation documents, when available.

To the extent that the net proceeds from the Offering are in excess of the amounts required for the purposes described above, Hertz Corp. may elect to retain up to $250 million of such remaining net proceeds for general corporate purposes (the "GCP Cap"). To the extent that the remaining net proceeds exceed the GCP Cap (such amount in excess thereof, the "Excess Net Proceeds"), Hertz Corp. will be required to apply such Excess Net Proceeds (plus, at Hertz Corp.’s option, all or any portion of the GCP Cap) to redeem a portion of the Notes.

    This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any of the Notes (or the guarantees of the Notes) or any other securities, nor will there be any sale of the Notes (or any guarantees of the Notes) or any other securities in any state or other jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or other jurisdiction. The Notes (and the guarantees of the Notes) will be issued in reliance on the exemption from the registration requirements provided by Rule 144A under the Securities Act and, outside of the United States, only to non-U.S. investors pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. None of the Notes (or the guarantees of the Notes) have been registered under the Securities Act or any state or other jurisdiction’s securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state and other jurisdiction’s securities laws.

    This press release does not constitute a notice of redemption under the certificate of designations governing Hertz’s Series A preferred stock, nor an offer to tender for, or purchase, any Series A preferred stock or any other security.
