Common use of Registration under the Exchange Act Clause in Contracts

Registration under the Exchange Act. If the Merger is consummated, stockholders who have not tendered their Shares in the Offer will receive cash in an amount equal to the price per Share provided pursuant to the Offer. Therefore, if such Merger takes place, the only difference between tendering Shares in the Offer and not tendering Shares in the Offer is that tendering stockholders will be paid earlier. If, however, the Merger is not consummated, the purchase of Shares pursuant to the Offer will reduce the number of Shares that might otherwise trade publicly and may reduce the number of holders of Shares, which could adversely affect the liquidity and market value of the remaining Shares held by stockholders other than the Purchaser. We cannot predict whether the reduction in the number of Shares that might otherwise trade publicly would have an adverse or beneficial effect on the market price for, or marketability of, the Shares or whether such reduction would cause future market prices to be greater or less than the Offer Price. Depending upon the number of Shares purchased pursuant to the Offer, the Shares may no longer meet the requirements of the NYSE for continued listing and may, therefore, be delisted from such exchange. According to the NYSE’s published guidelines, the NYSE would consider delisting the Shares if, among other things (i) there were fewer than 400 holders, (ii) there were fewer than 1,200 holders and the average monthly trading volume was less than 100,000 Shares over the most recent 12 months, (iii) the number of publicly held Shares (excluding Shares held by officers, directors, their immediate families and other concentrated holdings of 10% or more) were less than 600,000, or (iv) the aggregate market value of the publicly held Shares was less than $50 million. If, as a result of the purchase of Shares pursuant to the Offer, the Shares no longer meet the requirements of the NYSE for continued listing and the listing of Shares is discontinued, the market for the Shares could be adversely affected. If the NYSE were to delist the Shares, it is possible that the Shares would trade on another securities exchange or in the over-the-counter market and that price quotations for the Shares would be reported by such exchange or through the Nasdaq National Market or other sources. The extent of the public market for the Shares and availability of such quotations would, however, depend upon such factors as the number of holders and/or the aggregate market value of the publicly-held Shares at such time, the interest in maintaining a market in the Shares on the part of securities firms, the possible termination of registration of the Shares under the Exchange Act and other factors. The Shares are currently “margin securities” under the regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve Board”), which has the effect, among other things, of allowing brokers to extend credit on the collateral of such Shares. Depending upon factors similar to those described above regarding listing and market quotations, the Shares might no longer constitute “margin securities” for the purposes of the Federal Reserve Board’s margin regulations and, therefore, could no longer be used as collateral for loans made by brokers. The Shares are currently registered under the Exchange Act. Registration may be terminated upon application of Hertz to the SEC if the Shares are neither listed on a national securities exchange nor held by 300 or more holders of record. Termination of the registration of the Shares under the Exchange Act would substantially reduce the information required to be furnished by Hertz to holders of Shares and to the SEC and would make certain of the provisions of the Exchange Act, such as the short-swing profit recovery provisions of Section 16(b), the requirement of furnishing a proxy statement pursuant to Section 14(a) in connection with a stockholders’ meeting and the requirements of Rule 13e-3 under the Exchange Act with respect to “going private” transactions, no longer applicable to the Shares. Furthermore, “affiliates” of Hertz and persons holding “restricted securities” of Hertz may be deprived of the ability to dispose of such securities pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act. If registration of the Shares under the Exchange Act were terminated, the Shares would no longer be “margin securities” or eligible for listing or NASDAQ National Market reporting. However, because its debt securities will continue to be publicly-traded, Hertz will continue to file periodic reports under the Exchange Act following the Merger.
