Note 1—Background
Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. ("Hertz Global" when including its subsidiaries and VIEs and "Hertz Holdings" when excluding its subsidiaries and VIEs) was incorporated in Delaware in 2015 to serve as the top-level holding company for Rental Car Intermediate Holdings, LLC, which wholly owns The Hertz Corporation ("Hertz" and interchangeably with Hertz Global, the "Company"), Hertz Global's primary operating company. Hertz was incorporated in Delaware in 1967 and is a successor to corporations that have been engaged in the vehicle rental and leasing business since 1918.
Hertz operates its vehicle rental business globally primarily through the Hertz, Dollar and Thrifty brands from company-operated and franchisee locations in the United States ("U.S."), Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia, Canada, the Caribbean, Latin America, the Middle East and New Zealand. The Company also sells vehicles through Hertz Car Sales.
Note 2—Basis of Presentation and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Basis of Presentation
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q ("Quarterly Report") combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2026 of Hertz Global and Hertz. Hertz Global consolidates Hertz for financial statement purposes and, therefore, disclosures that relate to activities of Hertz also apply to Hertz Global. In the sections that combine disclosure of Hertz Global and Hertz, this Quarterly Report refers to actions as being actions of the Company, or Hertz Global, which is appropriate because the business is one enterprise and Hertz Global operates the business through Hertz. When appropriate, Hertz Global and Hertz are named specifically for their individual disclosures and any significant differences between the operations and results of Hertz Global and Hertz are separately disclosed and explained.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”). In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature that are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The Company's vehicle rental operations are typically a seasonal business, with decreased levels of business in the winter months and heightened activity during the spring and summer months for the majority of countries where the Company generates revenues.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and footnotes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
The December 31, 2025 unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet data is derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. The information included in this Quarterly Report should be read in conjunction with information included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 ("2025 Form 10-K"), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on February 26, 2026.
Effective in the first quarter of 2026, the Company revised its definition of Adjusted EBITDA, the Company's measure of segment profitability, to better reflect the Company's chief operating decision maker's ("CODM") view of ongoing operations and assessment of the Company's operational performance. The presentation of the prior periods has been recast to conform to the current period presentation. See Note 13, "Segment Information," for further information.

Principles of Consolidation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Hertz Global include the accounts of Hertz Global, its wholly owned and majority owned U.S. and international subsidiaries and its VIEs, as applicable. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Hertz include the accounts of Hertz, its wholly owned and majority owned U.S. and international subsidiaries and its VIEs, as applicable. The Company consolidates a VIE when it is deemed the primary beneficiary of the VIE. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Not Yet Adopted
Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses
In November 2024, the FASB issued guidance to enhance disclosures related to, among other items, specified information about certain costs and expenses for commonly presented expense captions included in the financial statements. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, using either a prospective or retrospective transition method. Early adoption is permitted. The Company expects to adopt the guidance when it becomes effective. The Company is in the process of determining the method of adoption and is continuing to assess the overall impact of adopting this guidance, but anticipates that the adoption will result in expanded disclosures.
Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software
In September 2025, the FASB issued guidance to modernize the accounting for internal-use software costs. The guidance removes references to prescriptive and sequential software development stages, and requires an entity to start capitalizing software costs when both of the following occur: (i) management has authorized and committed to funding the project and (ii) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. The guidance also specifies that disclosures in ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, are required for all capitalized internal-use software costs, regardless of how those costs are presented in the financial statements.
The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, using either a prospective, retrospective or modified transition approach. Early adoption is permitted. The Company expects to adopt the guidance when it becomes effective using a prospective or modified transition application. The Company is in the process of assessing the overall impact of adopting this guidance on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

The land portions of the sales qualified for sale-leaseback accounting, and were accounted for as operating leases with then expected terms of 40 years, inclusive of extensions the Company intends to exercise. The Company accounted for $6 million of proceeds associated with the buildings portion of the sales as financial liabilities, as the criteria for a sale were not met. The financial liabilities are classified as other non-vehicle debt and included in Non-vehicle debt in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

Each payment of interest will consist of 3.375% per annum of such interest to be paid in cash and 3.375% per annum of such interest to be paid in the form of PIK interest. The Exchangeable First Lien Notes Due 2030 will mature on July 1, 2030, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or exchanged (the "First Lien Exchangeable Feature 2030") in accordance with their terms prior to maturity.
The Exchangeable First Lien Notes Due 2030 will be exchangeable at any time until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date.

Global common stock. The exchange rate and exchange price will be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events.
Holders of the Exchangeable First Lien Notes Due 2030 will have the right to require Hertz to repurchase all or a portion of the Exchangeable First Lien Notes Due 2030 at 100% of their capitalized principal amount of the Exchangeable First Lien Notes Due 2030 plus accrued and unpaid cash interest up to, but excluding, the date of such repurchase, upon the occurrence of certain corporate events constituting a “fundamental change” as defined in the indenture governing the Exchangeable First Lien Notes Due 2030. Hertz may not redeem the Exchangeable First Lien Notes Due 2030 prior to January 6, 2029. On or after January 6, 2029 and on or prior to the 31st scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, if the last reported sale price per share of Hertz Global common stock has been at least 130% of the exchange price for the Exchangeable First Lien Notes Due 2030 for certain specified periods, and certain other conditions are satisfied, Hertz may redeem all or any portion (subject to certain limitations) of the Exchangeable First Lien Notes Due 2030. The redemption will be at a cash redemption price equal to the capitalized principal amount of the Exchangeable First Lien Notes Due 2030 to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid cash interest to, but excluding, the date of such redemption.
Upon issuance, the Company bifurcated the First Lien Exchangeable Feature 2030 from the Exchangeable First Lien Notes Due 2030 for accounting purposes utilizing applicable guidance. As a result, the Company recognized a debt discount of $115 million within Non-vehicle debt in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2026, representing the initial fair value of the First Lien Exchangeable Feature 2030. As of June 30, 2026, the fair value of the First Lien Exchangeable Feature 2030 was $110 million. Refer to Note 11, "Fair Value Measurements," for further details.
Concurrently with the issuance of the Exchangeable First Lien Notes Due 2030, Hertz Global agreed to lend a financial institution (the "Share Borrower"), acting as an underwriter of a public offering, a total of 37,037,037 shares of Hertz Global common stock (the "Borrowed Shares") pursuant to a share lending agreement (the "Share Lending Agreement") to help facilitate the successful completion of the Exchangeable First Lien Notes Due 2030 offering. Hertz Global received a one-time nominal lending fee for the Borrowed Shares equal to the par value of Hertz Global's common stock. The Share Borrower was obligated to furnish collateral equal in value to the market value of the Borrowed Shares as of the closing date of the Share Lending Agreement. The share loan under the Share Lending Agreement will terminate, and the Borrowed Shares must be returned to Hertz Global within five business days of such termination (subject to the Share Borrower's right to extend the settlement due date of the Borrowed Shares in certain circumstances), under the following circumstances: (i) the Share Borrower may terminate all or any portion of the loan at any time and (ii) on the earliest to occur of (a) October 1, 2030; (b) the date that is three months after the first date following the closing date of the Exchangeable First Lien Notes Due 2030 offering when none of the Exchangeable First Lien Notes Due 2030 remains outstanding; and (c) the date, if any, on which the Share Lending Agreement is terminated by the parties upon mutual agreement or by one party upon a default with respect to the other party. Cash repayment is not required by the Share Lending Agreement; however, it may be elected in certain instances involving default, legal prohibitions or a court order.
The Share Lending Agreement qualified for equity classification, and, as such, Hertz Global recognized a debt issuance cost of $85 million, representing the initial fair value of the Share Lending Agreement, as determined by the market value of the Borrowed Shares as of the closing date of the Share Lending Agreement. As of June 30, 2026, the fair value of the Borrowed Shares was $84 million, as determined by the market value of the Borrowed Shares at June 30, 2026. The shares borrowed under the Share Lending Agreement are excluded from the calculation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share.

Borrowing Capacity and Availability
Borrowing capacity and availability comes from the Company's revolving credit facilities, which are a combination of variable funding asset-backed securitization facilities, cash-flow based revolving credit facilities and the First Lien RCF. Creditors under each such asset-backed securitization facility have a claim on a specific pool of assets as collateral. With respect to each such asset-backed securitization facility, the Company refers to the amount of debt it can borrow given a certain pool of assets as the borrowing base.
The Company refers to "Remaining Capacity" as the maximum principal amount of debt permitted to be outstanding under the respective facility (i.e., with respect to a variable funding asset-backed securitization facility, the amount of debt the Company could borrow, assuming it possessed sufficient assets as collateral) less the principal amount of debt then-outstanding under such facility and, in the case of the First Lien RCF, less any issued standby letters of credit. With respect to a variable funding asset-backed securitization facility, the Company refers to "Availability Under Borrowing Base Limitation" as the lower of Remaining Capacity or the borrowing base less the principal amount of debt then-outstanding under such facility (i.e., the amount of debt that can be borrowed given the collateral possessed at such time).

Such letters of credit have been issued primarily to provide credit enhancement for the Company's asset-backed securitization facilities and to support the Company's insurance programs, as well as to support the Company's vehicle rental concessions and leaseholds. As of June 30, 2026, none of the issued letters of credit have been drawn upon.
The Standby LCs provide that, at Hertz's option and under the terms of the facilities, Hertz may request letters of credit be issued for itself and on behalf of certain of its subsidiaries up to the committed amounts of the facilities. In the first half of 2026, Hertz increased the amounts committed under its Standby LCs by approximately $300 million, in which approximately $200 million occurred in February 2026.
Pledges Related to Vehicle Financing
Substantially all of the Company's revenue earning vehicles and certain related assets are owned by special purpose entities or are encumbered in favor of the lenders under the various credit facilities, other secured financings or asset-backed securities programs. None of the value of such assets (including the assets owned by Hertz Vehicle Financing III LLC, TCL Funding LP and each of the domestic and international subsidiaries that pledge vehicle and vehicle related assets as part of the Company's securitization programs) will be available to satisfy the claims of non-vehicle secured or unsecured creditors, unless the vehicle related secured creditors under the securitization programs are paid in full.
The Company has a 25% ownership interest in IFF No. 2, whose sole purpose is to provide commitments to lend under the European ABS in various currencies, subject to borrowing bases comprised of revenue earning vehicles and related assets of certain of Hertz International, Ltd.'s subsidiaries. IFF No. 2 is a VIE, and the Company is the primary beneficiary; therefore, the assets, liabilities and results of operations of IFF No. 2 are included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

HFF is a VIE, and the Company is the primary beneficiary; therefore, the assets, liabilities and results of operations of HFF are included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, HFF had total assets of $147 million and $135 million, respectively, comprised primarily of intercompany receivables, and total liabilities of $147 million and $135 million, respectively, comprised primarily of debt.
Covenant Compliance
The First Lien Credit Agreement requires Hertz to comply with the following financial covenant: a First Lien Ratio, which requires a ratio of less than or equal to 3.0x in the first and last quarters of the calendar year and 3.5x in the second and third quarters of the calendar year. Hertz is also subject to a minimum liquidity covenant, which requires $400 million for each month ending in the second and third quarters of the calendar year and $500 million for each month ending in the first and fourth quarter of the calendar year. As of June 30, 2026, Hertz was in compliance with the First Lien Ratio and the minimum liquidity covenant.
Additionally, the First Lien Credit Agreement, the First Lien Senior Notes, the Exchangeable Notes Due 2029, the Exchangeable Notes Due 2030, the Exchangeable First Lien Notes Due 2030, the Senior Notes Due 2026 and the Senior Notes Due 2029 (collectively, the "Corporate Indebtedness") contain customary affirmative covenants, including, among other things, the delivery of quarterly and annual financial statements and/or compliance certificates, and covenants related to conduct of business, maintenance of property and insurance, compliance with environmental laws and, where applicable, the granting of security interests for the benefit of the secured parties under the applicable agreements on after-acquired real property, fixtures and future subsidiaries.
The terms of the Corporate Indebtedness contain covenants limiting the ability of Hertz and its restricted subsidiaries to: incur or guarantee additional indebtedness; incur or guarantee secured indebtedness; pay dividends or distributions on, or redeem or repurchase, Hertz Global capital stock; make certain investments or other restricted payments; sell certain assets; transfer intellectual property to unrestricted subsidiaries; merge, consolidate or sell all or substantially all of its assets; and create restrictions on the ability of Hertz’s restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends or other amounts to Hertz. As per the terms of the Corporate Indebtedness, these covenants are subject to a number of important and significant limitations, qualifications and exceptions.
As of June 30, 2026, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the terms of the agreements governing the respective Corporate Indebtedness.
Note 6—Revenues and Costs from Leases
The Company recognizes two types of revenue: (i) revenue from leases and (ii) revenue from contracts with customers.
The Company's operating leases for vehicle rentals have rental periods that are typically short term in nature. Rental charges are computed on a limited or unlimited mileage rate, or on a time rate plus a mileage charge. In connection with the vehicle rental, the Company offers supplemental equipment rentals (e.g., child seats and ski racks) which are deemed lease components. The Company also offers value-added services in connection with the vehicle rental, which are deemed non-lease components, such as loss or collision damage waiver, theft protection, liability and personal accident/effects insurance coverage, premium emergency roadside service and satellite radio. Additionally, the Company charges for variable services primarily consisting of tolls, refueling and recharging and collections for vehicle damage during the rental period. The Company combines lease and non-lease components in its contracts under ASC 842, Lease Accounting ("Topic 842"), when permissible.

Note 7—Income Tax (Provision) Benefit
Hertz Global
For the three months ended June 30, 2026, Hertz Global recorded a tax provision of $7 million, which resulted in an effective tax rate of 9%. For the three months ended June 30, 2025, Hertz Global recorded a tax benefit of $22 million, which resulted in an effective tax rate of 7%.
The change in taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 was driven primarily by improved pretax results and decreases of the nontaxable year-over-year fluctuations in the fair value adjustments of Public Warrants and in valuation allowances on deferred tax assets.
For the first half of 2026, Hertz Global recorded a tax provision of $36 million, which resulted in an effective tax rate of (16)%. For the first half of 2025, Hertz Global recorded a tax benefit of $104 million, which resulted in an effective tax rate of 12%.
The change in taxes in the first half of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 was driven primarily by lower pretax losses, increases in valuation allowances on deferred tax assets and offset by the nontaxable year-over-year fluctuations in the fair value adjustments of Public Warrants.

Note 8—Public Warrants, Equity and Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share – Hertz Global
Public Warrants
As of June 30, 2026, approximately 82,700,000 Public Warrants remain outstanding with an exercise price of $12.81. There have been approximately 6,300,000 Public Warrants exercised since their original issuance in June 2021. The Public Warrants are recorded at fair value in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. See Note 11, "Fair Value Measurements."
In connection with the issuance of the Exchangeable First Lien Notes Due 2030, as disclosed in Note 5, "Debt," an anti-dilution provision in the agreement governing the Public Warrants required that the exercise price and warrant number be adjusted. This resulted in the exercise price of the Public Warrants decreasing from $13.61 to $12.81, effective upon the issuance of the Exchangeable First Lien Notes Due 2030 on June 29, 2026. Effective concurrently with the change in exercise price, the number of shares of Hertz Global common stock to which a holder of a Public Warrant is entitled upon exercise of a Public Warrant increased from 1.0140 shares to 1.0772 shares.
At-the-Market ("ATM") Equity Offering Program
In May 2025, Hertz Global filed a Form S-3 Registration Statement as well as a prospectus supplement covering the offering, issuance and sale of up to a maximum aggregate offering price of $250 million shares of Hertz Global common stock par value $0.01 per share that may be issued and sold from time to time under an equity distribution agreement with various banking institutions, acting as the Company's agents, through an ATM offering program (the "ATM Program"). Between April 1, 2026, and June 30, 2026, approximately 524,000 shares of Hertz Global common stock were sold under the ATM Program for net proceeds of approximately $3 million. As of June 30, 2026, there remains approximately $247 million shares of Hertz Global common stock to be issued under the ATM Program.
Computation of Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share
Basic earnings (loss) per common share has been computed based upon the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share has been computed based upon the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus the effect of all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents, including Public Warrants, Exchangeable Notes Due 2029, Exchangeable Notes Due 2030 and Exchangeable First Lien Notes Due 2030, except when the effect would be antidilutive. Dilutive shares for stock-based instruments and Public Warrants are computed using the treasury stock method and dilutive shares for Exchangeable Notes Due 2029, Exchangeable Notes Due 2030 and Exchangeable First Lien Notes Due 2030 are computed using the if-converted method. Additionally, the Company removes the income or expense impacts related to Public Warrants, Exchangeable Notes Due 2029, Exchangeable Notes Due 2030 and Exchangeable First Lien Notes Due 2030 when computing diluted earnings (loss) per common share, when the impacts are dilutive.
Concurrently with the issuance of the Exchangeable First Lien Notes Due 2030, Hertz Global lent the Borrowed Shares pursuant to the Share Lending Agreement, as disclosed in Note 5, "Debt." The Share Lending Agreement qualified for equity classification in accordance with ASC 815-40, Contracts on an Entity's Own Equity, and as such, the Borrowed Shares are excluded from the calculation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share.

Note 10—Financial Instruments
The Company employs established risk management policies and procedures, and, under the terms of our ABS facilities, may be required to enter into interest rate derivatives, which seek to reduce the Company’s commercial risk exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and currency exchange rates. Although the instruments utilized involve varying degrees of credit, market and interest risk, the Company contracts with multiple counterparties to mitigate concentrations of risk and the counterparties to the agreements are expected to perform fully under the terms of the agreements. The Company monitors counterparty credit risk, including lenders, on a regular basis, but cannot be certain that all risks will be discerned or that its risk management policies and procedures will always be effective. Additionally, upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Company’s International Swaps and Derivatives Association ("ISDA") master derivative agreements, the non-defaulting party generally has the right, but not the obligation, to set-off any early termination amounts under any such agreements against any other amounts owed with regard to any other agreements between the parties to each such agreement.
None of the Company's financial instruments have been designated as hedging instruments as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The Company classifies cash flows from financial instruments according to the classification of the cash flows of the economically hedged item(s).
Interest Rate Risk
The Company uses a combination of interest rate caps and swaps to manage its exposure to interest rate movements and to manage its mix of floating and fixed-rate debt.

The Company's foreign currency forward contracts and certain interest rate instruments are subject to enforceable master netting agreements with their counterparties. The Company does not offset such derivative assets and liabilities in its unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, and the potential effect of the Company’s use of the master netting arrangements is not material.
Note 11—Fair Value Measurements
Under U.S. GAAP, entities are allowed to measure certain financial instruments and other items at fair value. The Company has not elected the fair value measurement option for any of its assets or liabilities that meet the criteria for this option. Irrespective of the fair value option previously described, U.S. GAAP requires certain financial and non-financial assets and liabilities of the Company to be measured on either a recurring basis or on a nonrecurring basis.
Fair Value Disclosures
The fair value of cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, to the extent the underlying liability will be settled in cash, approximates the carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

fair value adjustments included gains of $98 million and $131 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the fair value adjustments included losses of $115 million and $124 million, respectively. These amounts are recorded in Change in fair value of Public Warrants in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for Hertz Global for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.
Exchangeable Notes Due 2029 – Bifurcated Derivatives
The Exchangeable Notes Due 2029 contain an embedded conversion feature (the "Exchange Feature 2029") that was required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately from the Exchangeable Notes Due 2029 as a derivative liability at fair value. Upon issuance in June 2024, the Company recognized a debt discount within non-vehicle debt representing the initial fair value of the Exchange Feature 2029.
As disclosed in Note 5, "Debt," the Exchangeable Notes Due 2029 bear PIK interest payable semi-annually on January 15 and July 15. Upon the Semi-annual PIK Event in the first quarter of 2026, the Company bifurcated the Exchange Feature 2029 PIK and recognized a debt discount of $4 million within non-vehicle debt, representing the initial fair value.
As of June 30, 2026, the fair value of the Exchange Feature 2029 and the Exchange Feature 2029 PIK (collectively, the "Exchange Features 2029") was $26 million. Refer also to Note 10, "Financial Instruments," for further information.
The fair value of the Exchange Features 2029 was determined using a lattice model and a “with-and-without” valuation methodology. The inputs used to estimate the fair value of the Exchange Features 2029 include the probability of potential settlement scenarios, the expected timing of such settlement and an expected volatility. Expected volatility is based on historical and company-specific implied equity volatility data and adjusted to reflect market participant expectations observed in arm's length trading. As the expected volatility input is considered unobservable, the Company has categorized the Exchange Features 2029 as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
The estimated fair values of the Exchange Features 2029 were computed using the following key inputs as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025:
| June 30, 2026 | December 31, 2025 | ||||||||||

| Credit spread | 40.90 | % | 11.26 | % | |||||||
| Expected volatility | 70.00 | % | 35.00 | % | |||||||
The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of the Exchange Features 2029 is expected volatility. Holding other inputs constant, an increase (decrease) in expected volatility would have resulted in a higher (lower) fair value measurement, respectively.

Note 12—Contingencies and Off-Balance Sheet Commitments
Legal Proceedings
Self-Insured Liabilities
The Company is currently a defendant in numerous actions and has received numerous claims on which actions have not yet commenced for self-insured liabilities arising from the operation of motor vehicles rented from the Company. The obligation for self-insured liabilities on self-insured U.S. and international vehicles, as stated in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, represents an estimate for both reported accident claims not yet paid and claims incurred but not yet reported. The related liabilities are recorded on an undiscounted basis and are based on actuarially determined estimates using historical claims experience. These estimates include judgment about severity of claims, frequency and volume of claims. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company's liability recorded for self-insured liabilities was $643 million and $648 million, of which $501 million and $508 million relates to liabilities incurred by the Company's Americas RAC operations, respectively. The Company believes that its analysis is based on the most relevant information available, combined

with reasonable assumptions. The liability is subject to significant uncertainties. The adequacy of the liability is monitored quarterly based on evolving accident claim history. If the Company's estimates change or if actual results differ from these assumptions, the amount of the recorded liability is adjusted to reflect these results.
Loss Contingencies
From time to time, the Company is a party to various legal proceedings, typically involving operational issues common to the vehicle rental business. The Company has summarized below the material legal proceedings to which the Company was a party during the three months ended June 30, 2026 or the period after June 30, 2026, but before the filing of this Quarterly Report.
Make-Whole and Post-Petition Interest Claims – On July 1, 2021, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. ("Wells Fargo"), in its capacity as indenture trustee of (1) 6.250% Unsecured Notes due 2022 (the "2022 Notes"), (2) 5.500% Unsecured Notes due 2024 (the "2024 Notes"), (3) 7.125% Unsecured Notes due 2026 (the "2026 Notes") and (4) 6.000% Unsecured Notes due 2028 (the "2028 Notes") issued by The Hertz Corporation (collectively, the “Unsecured Notes”), filed a complaint against The Hertz Corporation and multiple direct and indirect subsidiaries thereof (collectively referred to in this paragraph summary as “defendants”). The filing of the complaint initiated the adversary proceeding captioned Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. v. The Hertz Corp., et al. in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the "Delaware Bankruptcy Court"), Adv. Pro. No. 21-50995 (MFW). The complaint seeks a declaratory judgment that the holders of the Unsecured Notes are entitled to payment of certain redemption premiums and post-petition interest that the holders assert total approximately $272 million or, in the alternative, are entitled to payment of post-petition interest at a contractual rate that they assert totals approximately $125 million. The complaint also asserts the right to pre-judgment interest from July 1, 2021 to the date of any judgment. On December 22, 2021, the Delaware Bankruptcy Court dismissed Wells Fargo’s claims with respect to (i) the redemption premium allegedly owed on the 2022 Notes and the 2024 Notes and (ii) post-petition interest at the contract rate. See Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. v. The Hertz Corp., et al., 637 B.R. 781 (Bankr. D. Del. Dec. 22, 2021). On November 9, 2022, the Delaware Bankruptcy Court ruled that the make-whole premium is the same as unmatured interest and is disallowed under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, granting summary judgment in the defendants’ favor. The Delaware Bankruptcy Court certified the matter directly to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit (the “Third Circuit”) and, on January 25, 2023, the Third Circuit accepted Wells Fargo’s appeal. The Third Circuit held an oral argument for this appeal on October 25, 2023, and on September 10, 2024, the Third Circuit issued its opinion in Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. v. The Hertz Corp., et al., 117 F.4th 109 (3d Cir. 2024). In a 2-1 decision, a panel of the Third Circuit held that the "absolute priority rule" required Hertz to pay the make-whole premium on the 2026 Notes and on the 2028 Notes, and post-petition interest at the contract rate rather than the federal judgment rate on all Unsecured Notes, even though those amounts were disallowed under the Bankruptcy Code. On October 15, 2024, the Company filed a petition with the Third Circuit for a rehearing en banc, which the Third Circuit denied on November 6, 2024. The Company filed a petition for writ of certiorari with the Supreme Court of the United States ("U.S. Supreme Court") on April 4, 2025. On June 2, 2025, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a docket entry calling for the views of the Solicitor General of the United States ("Solicitor General") on whether it should grant the petition for a writ of certiorari. Subsequently, the Solicitor General filed its brief of the United States recommending that the U.S. Supreme Court deny the Company's petition for writ of certiorari. On January 12, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court denied the Company's petition for writ of certiorari and remanded the case back to the Delaware Bankruptcy Court for entry of final judgment. On January 27, 2026, Hertz paid Wells Fargo, as indenture trustee, the previously reserved amount of $346 million, including the interest to date, which is the amount that was not disputed by the parties. The Delaware Bankruptcy Court subsequently denied Wells Fargo's request for additional pre-judgment interest, but awarded Wells Fargo a nominal amount as a correction to the principal owed.
Share Repurchase Program Litigation – On May 11, 2023, Angelo Cascia, a purported stockholder of Hertz Global, filed a putative class and derivative lawsuit in the Delaware Court of Chancery (the "Delaware Chancery Court") against certain current and former directors of Hertz Global, Knighthead Capital Management, LLC ("Knighthead"), Certares Opportunities LLC ("Certares") and CK Amarillo. The claims in the complaint relate to the Company’s share repurchase programs approved in November 2021 and June 2022. Among other allegations, the plaintiff claims Board members breached their fiduciary duties in approving these share repurchase programs and that Knighthead, Certares, and CK Amarillo were unjustly enriched because they gained a majority stake in Hertz Global

as a result of share repurchases. Defendants filed their motion to dismiss the complaint on July 24, 2023. On March 11, 2024, the Delaware Chancery Court held a hearing on defendants' motion to dismiss. On June 20, 2024, the Delaware Chancery Court granted in part and denied in part the defendants' motion to dismiss. The Delaware Chancery Court dismissed the claims against directors Feikin, Fields, Intrieri and Vougessis with prejudice, dismissed the claims related to the 2021 buyback without prejudice and allowed the remaining claims to proceed. On August 26, 2024, the Board formed a Special Litigation Committee (the "SLC"), made up of two independent directors, to evaluate and take any necessary actions related to the remaining claims. On October 21, 2024, the Delaware Chancery Court granted a motion to stay the litigation, including all discovery, until March 21, 2025. On March 26, 2025, the Delaware Chancery Court extended the stay for an additional 30 days. On April 25, 2025, the SLC filed its report under seal with the Delaware Chancery Court. On May 9, 2025, the SLC filed an unopposed motion to terminate the derivative claims in the litigation. In response, the plaintiff informed the Delaware Chancery Court that he would not oppose the SLC’s motion to terminate the derivative claims, declared his intention to continue to prosecute the direct claims only and reserved his right to seek an award of fees based on the alleged benefit conferred to the Company. The Court scheduled a hearing on the SLC's unopposed motion to terminate the derivative claims for November 10, 2025. The parties then settled the direct and derivative claims, subject to approval of the Delaware Chancery Court. On July 23, 2026, the Delaware Chancery Court approved the settlement agreement, including the plaintiff’s approximate $3 million fee petition.
Doller Securities Class Action Complaint – On May 31, 2024, a complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida (the "Florida Middle District Court"), captioned Edward M. Doller v. Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. et al. (No. 2:24-CV-00513). On September 30, 2024, an amended complaint was filed, following the Florida Middle District Court's appointment of a lead plaintiff and a lead counsel. The amended complaint asserts claims against Hertz Global, former Company CEO, Stephen M. Scherr ("Defendant Scherr"), and former Company Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), Alexandra Brooks, alleging violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, including concerning statements regarding demand for EVs. Plaintiffs assert claims on behalf of a putative class, consisting of all persons and entities that purchased or otherwise acquired Hertz Global's securities between January 6, 2023 and April 24, 2024. The amended complaint seeks unspecified damages, together with interest, attorneys’ fees and other costs. Hertz Global filed a motion to dismiss the complaint on October 30, 2024. On December 19, 2024, the Florida Middle District Court stayed all proceedings, pending a ruling on the motion to dismiss. On October 16, 2025, the Court granted the motion to dismiss in part all claims except those based on two statements by Defendant Scherr in January and April of 2023. The Court directed the clerk to lift the stay. The parties settled in principle during a mediation on March 12, 2026, subject to approval of the Court.
Data Breach Claims – On April 15, 2025, Zain Jiwani filed a class action complaint against Cleo Communications U.S., LLC (“Cleo”) and the Company in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Western Division (Rockford, IL) (the "Illinois Northern District, Western Division Court"). Plaintiff alleges that Cleo, a file-transfer vendor for the Company, experienced a data breach event that may have impacted the personal information of certain individuals during the secure file transfer process from the Company’s systems to third-party systems and that Company data may have been acquired by an unauthorized third party that exploited zero-day vulnerabilities within Cleo’s platform in October and December of 2024. Plaintiff alleges that the Company was negligent in failing to secure the data, breached implied contracts and was unjustly enriched. Ten similar class action complaints were filed against the Company shortly thereafter and eventually transferred to the same court, the Illinois Northern District, Western Division Court. The class actions generally seek injunctive relief and unspecified damages. The defendants' responses to the complaints were stayed until the conclusion of a mediation between the plaintiffs and Cleo on June 30, 2026. The plaintiffs and Cleo conditionally settled all claims against all defendants at the mediation. At this stage of the litigation, the Company does not believe that the ultimate resolution of these actions will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
Schweitzer Securities Class Action Complaint – On July 24, 2026, Cameron Schweitzer, a stockholder of Hertz Global, filed a class action against Hertz Global and individual defendants Company CEO Gil West and Company CFO Scott Haralson in the Florida Middle District Court. The plaintiff purports to represent a class of all persons who purchased Hertz Global securities between May 7, 2026, and June 23, 2026, seeking to recover damages caused by the defendants’ alleged violations of the federal securities laws and to pursue remedies under Sections 10(b) and
43
HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Unaudited
20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The plaintiff generally alleges that the defendants misrepresented in May 2026 that the Company had sufficient liquidity to fund future operating activities and that the softness in the used car market was transitory, but that the stock price declined more than 40% in June 2026 when the Company announced a capital raise using the Exchangeable First Lien Notes Due 2030 and announced that unexpected softness in the used car market caused losses on the sales of vehicles. At this early stage of the litigation, the Company does not believe that the ultimate resolution of this action will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
The Company has established reserves for matters where the Company believes that losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Other than the aggregate reserve established for claims for self-insured liabilities and the bankruptcy-related litigation, none of those reserves are material. For matters where the Company has not established a reserve, the ultimate outcome or resolution cannot be predicted at this time, or the amount of ultimate loss, if any, cannot be reasonably estimated. These matters are subject to many uncertainties, and the outcome of the individual litigated matters is not predictable with assurance. It is possible that certain of the actions, claims, inquiries or proceedings could be decided unfavorably to the Company or any of its subsidiaries involved. Accordingly, it is possible that an adverse outcome from such a proceeding could exceed the amount accrued in an amount that could be material to the Company's consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in any particular reporting period.
Indemnification Obligations
In the ordinary course of business, the Company has executed contracts involving indemnification obligations customary in the relevant industry and indemnifications specific to a transaction, such as the sale of a business. These indemnification obligations might include claims relating to the following: environmental matters; intellectual property rights; governmental regulations and employment-related matters; customer, supplier and other commercial contractual relationships and financial matters. Specifically, the Company has indemnified various parties for the costs associated with remediating numerous hazardous substance storage, recycling or disposal sites in many states and, in some instances, for natural resource damages. The amount of any such expenses or related natural resource damages for which the Company may be held responsible could be substantial. In addition, Hertz entered into customary indemnification agreements with Hertz Holdings and certain of the Company's stockholders and their affiliates pursuant to which Hertz Holdings and Hertz will indemnify those entities and their respective affiliates, directors, officers, partners, members, employees, agents, representatives and controlling persons, against certain liabilities arising out of performance of a consulting agreement with Hertz Holdings and each of such entities and certain other claims and liabilities, including liabilities arising out of financing arrangements or securities offerings. The Company has entered into customary indemnification agreements with each of its directors and certain of its officers. Performance under these indemnification obligations would generally be triggered by a breach of terms of the contract or by a third-party claim. In connection with the separation of the car rental business in 2016, the Company executed an agreement with Herc Holdings Inc. that contains mutual indemnification clauses and a customary indemnification provision with respect to liability arising out of, or resulting from, assumed legal matters. The Company regularly evaluates the probability of having to incur costs associated with these indemnification obligations and has accrued for expected losses that are probable and estimable.
Note 13—Segment Information
The Company's CODM is its Chief Executive Officer. The CODM uses Adjusted EBITDA to determine segment profitability, which aids the CODM in the assessment of segment operating performance and assists in the evaluation of resource needs and the allocation of resources to the Company's reportable segments. The CODM conducts regular meetings with finance and operational leaders to review targeted results versus actual results to facilitate the evaluation of Adjusted EBITDA. The Company has identified two reportable segments, which are
44
HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Unaudited
consistent with its operating segments and organized based primarily on the geographic areas in which business is conducted, as follows:
•Americas RAC – Rental of vehicles (cars, crossovers, vans and light trucks), as well as sales of value-added services, in the U.S., Canada, Latin America and the Caribbean. The Company maintains a network of company-operated rental locations in this segment and has franchisees and partners that operate rental locations under the Company's brands; and
•International RAC – Rental of vehicles (cars, crossovers, vans and light trucks), as well as sales of value-added services, in locations other than the U.S., Canada, Latin America and the Caribbean. The Company maintains a network of company-operated rental locations, a majority of which are in Europe, and has franchisees and partners that operate rental locations under the Company's brands.
In addition to its reportable segments, the Company has corporate operations ("Corporate"), which includes general corporate assets and expenses and net interest expense on non-vehicle debt. Corporate includes other items necessary to reconcile the reportable segments to the Company's total amounts.
The following tables provide revenue, significant expenses, other segment expenses and the segment measure of profitability, Adjusted EBITDA, by reportable segment, including a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to consolidated income (loss) before income taxes for Hertz Global and Hertz.
Effective in the first quarter of 2026, the Company revised its definition of Adjusted EBITDA to adjust for realized (gains) losses from financial instruments, share-based compensation expense and foreign currency (gains) losses. The update to Adjusted EBITDA is to better reflect the CODM's view of ongoing operations and assessment of the Company's operational performance. The presentation of the prior periods has been recast to conform to the current period presentation.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. is a holding company and its principal, wholly owned subsidiary is The Hertz Corporation. Hertz Global consolidates Hertz for financial statement purposes, and Hertz comprises approximately the entire balance of Hertz Global’s assets, liabilities and operating cash flows. In addition, Hertz’s operating revenues and operating expenses comprise nearly 100% of Hertz Global’s revenues and operating expenses. As such, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A") that follows herein is for Hertz and also applies to Hertz Global in all material respects, unless otherwise noted. Differences between the operations and results of Hertz and Hertz Global are separately disclosed and explained. We sometimes use the words “we,” “our,” “us” and the “Company” in this MD&A for disclosures that relate to all of Hertz and Hertz Global.
The statements in this MD&A regarding industry outlook, our expectations regarding the performance of our business and the other non-historical statements are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties. The following MD&A provides information that we believe to be relevant to an understanding of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations. Our actual results may differ materially from those contained in or implied by any forward-looking statements.
This MD&A should be read in conjunction with the MD&A presented in our 2025 Form 10-K together with the sections entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors,” and our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2026 (this "Quarterly Report"), which include additional information about our accounting policies, practices and the transactions underlying our financial results. The preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes including revenue earning vehicle depreciation and various claims and contingencies related to lawsuits, taxes and other matters arising during the normal course of business. We apply our best judgment, our knowledge of existing facts and circumstances and our knowledge of actions that we may undertake in the future in determining the estimates that will affect our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis using our historical experience, as well as other factors we believe to be appropriate under the circumstances, such as current economic conditions, and adjust or revise our estimates as circumstances change. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results may differ from these estimates.
In this MD&A, we refer to the following non-GAAP measure and key metrics:
•Adjusted Corporate EBITDA – important non-GAAP measure to management because it allows management to assess the operational performance of our business, exclusive of certain items, and allows management to assess the performance of the entire business on the same basis as the segment measure of profitability. Management believes that it is important to investors for the same reasons it is important to management and because it allows investors to assess our operational performance on the same basis that management uses internally. Adjusted EBITDA, the segment measure of profitability and accordingly a GAAP measure, is calculated exclusive of certain items which are largely consistent with those used in the calculation of Adjusted Corporate EBITDA. Effective in the first quarter of 2026, we revised our definition of Adjusted Corporate EBITDA to adjust for realized (gains) losses from financial instruments, share-based compensation expense and foreign currency (gains) losses in an effort to better reflect management's view of ongoing operations and its assessment of our operational performance. The presentation of the prior period has been recast to conform to the current period presentation.
•Vehicle Utilization – important key metric to management and investors as it is the measurement of the proportion of our vehicles that are being used to generate revenues relative to rentable fleet capacity. Higher Vehicle Utilization means more vehicles are being utilized to generate revenues.
•Depreciation Per Unit Per Month – important key metric to management and investors as depreciation of revenue earning vehicles and lease charges is one of our largest expenses for the vehicle rental business

and is driven by the number of vehicles, expected residual values at the expected time of disposal and expected hold period of the vehicles. Depreciation Per Unit Per Month is reflective of how we are managing the costs of our vehicles and facilitates a comparison with other participants in the vehicle rental industry. Effective in the first quarter of 2026, we changed our definition of Average Vehicles to use a daily average of vehicles as opposed to a simple average of vehicles at the beginning and end of a period. We believe this is a better, more accurate measure of our vehicles. Accordingly, the prior period has been recast to reflect this change.
•Total Revenue Per Transaction Day ("Total RPD," also referred to as "pricing") – important key metric to management and investors as it represents a measurement of the changes in underlying pricing in the vehicle rental business and encompasses the elements in vehicle rental pricing that management has the ability to control.
•Total Revenue Per Unit Per Month ("Total RPU") – important key metric to management and investors as it provides a measure of revenue productivity relative to the number of vehicles in our rental fleet whether owned or leased ("Average Rentable Vehicles"). Average Rentable Vehicles excludes vehicles for sale on our retail lots or actively in the process of being sold through other disposition channels. Effective in the first quarter of 2026, we changed our definition of Average Rentable Vehicles to use a daily average of rentable vehicles as opposed to a simple average of rentable vehicles at the beginning and end of a period. We believe this is a better, more accurate measure of our rentable vehicles. Accordingly, the prior period has been recast to reflect this change.
•Transaction Days – important key metric to management and investors as it represents the number of revenue generating days ("volume"). It is used as a component to measure Total RPD and Vehicle Utilization. Transaction Days represent the total number of 24-hour periods, with any partial period counted as one Transaction Day, that vehicles were on rent (the period between when a rental contract is opened and closed) in a given period. Thus, it is possible for a vehicle to attain more than one Transaction Day in a 24-hour period.
Our non-GAAP measure and key metrics should not be considered in isolation and should not be considered superior to, or a substitute for, financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The above non-GAAP measure and key metrics are defined, and the non-GAAP measure is reconciled to its most comparable U.S. GAAP measure, in the "Footnotes to the Results of Operations and Selected Operating Data by Segment Tables" section of this MD&A.
OUR COMPANY
Hertz Holdings was incorporated in Delaware in 2015 to serve as the top-level holding company for Rental Car Intermediate Holdings, LLC, which wholly owns Hertz, Hertz Global's primary operating company. Hertz was incorporated in Delaware in 1967 and is a successor to corporations that have been engaged in the vehicle rental and leasing business since 1918.
We operate our vehicle rental business globally from company-owned and franchisee locations in the U.S., Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia, Canada, the Caribbean, Latin America, the Middle East and New Zealand. We also sell vehicles through Hertz Car Sales.
OVERVIEW OF OUR BUSINESS AND OPERATING ENVIRONMENT
Our Business
We are engaged principally in the business of renting vehicles primarily through our Hertz, Dollar and Thrifty brands. Our profitability is primarily a function of the volume, mix and pricing of rental transactions and the utilization of vehicles based on availability to rent, the related ownership cost of vehicles and other operating costs. Significant changes in the purchase price or residual values of vehicles or interest rates can have a significant effect on our profitability depending on our ability to adjust pricing for these changes. We continue to balance our mix of EVs, non-program vehicles and program vehicles based on market conditions, including residual values. Our business

requires significant expenditures for vehicles, and, as such, we require substantial liquidity to finance such expenditures.
Through our "Back-to-Basics" roadmap, we are committed to executing a comprehensive strategy to transform our business, anchored by three financial pillars: disciplined fleet management, revenue optimization and rigorous cost control. Building on our brand strength, global network and fleet management expertise, we remain committed to operational excellence and keeping customers central to everything we do. We have strengthened our fleet by refining our capabilities by sourcing vehicles strategically, deploying them efficiently and monetizing them effectively. Our approach balances disciplined execution today with systematic innovation for tomorrow, leveraging industry experience to adapt to evolving market dynamics and position us for sustainable growth in the future of mobility.
Our revenues are primarily derived from rental and related charges and consist of worldwide vehicle rental revenues from all company-operated vehicle rental operations and charges to customers for the reimbursement of costs incurred relating to airport concession fees and vehicle license fees, the fueling and electric charging of vehicles and revenues associated with value-added services, including the sale of loss or collision damage waivers, theft protection, liability and personal accident/effects insurance coverage, premium emergency roadside service and other products and fees. Also included are collections from customers for vehicle damages, ancillary revenues associated with, but not limited to, retail vehicle sales and certain royalty fees from our franchisees (such fees are approximately 2% of total revenues each period).
Our expenses primarily consist of:
•direct vehicle and operating expense ("DOE"), primarily wages and related benefits; commissions and concession fees paid to airport authorities, travel agents and others; facility, self-insurance and reservation costs; and other costs relating to the operation and rental of revenue earning vehicles, such as collision and damage, maintenance, fuel and electric charging costs;
•depreciation expense and lease charges, net relating to revenue earning vehicles, including gains and losses and related costs associated with the disposal of vehicles, including vehicle sales;
•depreciation and amortization expense relating to non-vehicle assets;
•selling, general and administrative expense ("SG&A"), which includes advertising costs and administrative personnel costs, along with costs for information technology and business transformation programs; and
•interest expense, net.
Our vehicle rental operations are a seasonal business, with decreased levels of business in the winter months and heightened activity during the spring and summer months ("our peak season") for the majority of countries where we generate our revenues. To accommodate increased demand, we seek to increase our available fleet and staff. As demand declines, we seek to reduce our fleet and staff accordingly. As a result, we strive to maintain a flexible workforce, with a significant number of part-time and seasonal workers. A number of our other major operating costs, including airport concession fees, commissions and vehicle liability expenses, are directly related to revenues or transaction volumes. Certain operating expenses, including real estate taxes, rent, insurance, utilities, maintenance and other facility-related expenses, and minimum staffing costs, remain fixed and cannot be adjusted for demand.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2026 Compared with Three Months Ended June 30, 2025
Total revenues increased $211 million in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, resulting from increases of $180 million and $31 million in our Americas RAC and International RAC segments, respectively. The increase in total revenues was due primarily to improved pricing.
Depreciation of revenue earning vehicles and lease charges, net increased $72 million in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, of which $66 million was attributed to our Americas RAC segment.
Depreciation of revenue earning vehicles and lease charges, net increased due primarily to reduced gains and residual variability. The reduction in gains recognized on vehicle disposals resulted in large part from our disposition strategy in the second quarter of 2026, which included the prioritization of older vehicles and certain models and a higher mix of sales through less favorable disposition channels. The increase was partially offset by a reduction in costs associated with the sales of vehicles resulting in part from disposition channel mix.
DOE increased $60 million in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, resulting from increases of $51 million and $7 million in our Americas RAC and International RAC segments, respectively. The increase in DOE was due primarily to higher collision, refueling and maintenance costs in our Americas RAC

segment. DOE was also impacted by an unfavorable $10 million fx impact in the second quarter of 2026 in our International RAC segment.
Non-vehicle depreciation and amortization was comparable in the second quarter of 2026 to the same period in 2025.
SG&A increased $12 million in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 driven primarily by increases of $7 million in each of our Americas RAC and International RAC segments, partially offset by a decrease of $3 million in our corporate operations. The increase in SG&A was due primarily to higher advertising spend in our Americas RAC and International RAC segments. SG&A associated with our corporate operations decreased primarily due to a reduction in personnel costs, partially offset by increased restructuring related charges.
Vehicle interest expense, net increased $13 million in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 due primarily to our Americas RAC segment resulting largely from increased debt levels driven by the issuances of HVF III Series 2025 Notes in June and December 2025 and the issuance of HVF III Series 2026 Notes in May 2026.
Non-vehicle interest expense, net decreased $138 million in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 due primarily to unrealized gains related to changes in the fair value of the Exchange Features 2029 and the Exchange Feature 2030, partially offset by increased debt levels.
In the second quarters of 2026 and 2025, we recognized gains of $64 million and $89 million, respectively, on the sales of certain non-vehicle capital assets in our Americas RAC segment, as disclosed in Note 3, "Divestitures," in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report. We expect to continue to evaluate and complete, when deemed appropriate, sales and lease backs of certain non-vehicle capital assets through the end of 2026.
In the second quarter of 2026, we recorded a tax provision of $7 million, which resulted in an effective tax rate of (24)%. In the second quarter of 2025, we recorded a tax benefit of $22 million, which resulted in an effective tax rate of 11%. The change in taxes in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 was driven by lower pretax losses and decreases in valuation allowances on deferred tax assets.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 Compared with Six Months Ended June 30, 2025
Total revenues increased $402 million in the first half of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, resulting primarily from increases of $318 million and $84 million in our Americas RAC and International RAC segments, respectively. The increase in total revenues was due primarily to improved pricing.
Depreciation of revenue earning vehicles and lease charges, net increased $18 million in the first half of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 with increases of $12 million and $6 million in our International RAC and Americas RAC segments, respectively. Depreciation of revenue earning vehicles and lease charges, net was impacted by an unfavorable $11 million fx impact in the first half of 2026 in our International RAC segment. Depreciation of revenue earning vehicles and lease charges, net was also negatively impacted from a reduction in gains recognized on vehicle disposals in the second quarter of 2026, which included the prioritization of older vehicles and certain models and a higher mix of sales through less favorable disposition channels. The increase was partially offset by a reduction in costs associated with the sales of vehicles resulting in part from disposition channel mix.
DOE increased $129 million in the first half of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 with increases of $83 million and $42 million in our Americas RAC and International RAC segments, respectively. The increase in DOE was due primarily to higher collision and maintenance costs in our Americas RAC segment and as a result of increased volume. DOE was also impacted by an unfavorable $33 million fx impact in the first half of 2026 in our International RAC segment.

Non-vehicle depreciation and amortization decreased $7 million in the first half of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, resulting primarily from our Americas RAC segment. The decrease in non-vehicle depreciation and amortization was due primarily to an increase in assets that were fully depreciated and certain asset retirements in the first quarter of 2025 in our Americas RAC segment.
SG&A increased $26 million in the first half of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 driven primarily by increases of $18 million and $15 million in our International RAC and Americas RAC segments, respectively, partially offset by a decrease of $7 million associated with our corporate operations. SG&A increased primarily from higher advertising spend and increased personnel costs in our International RAC segment, partially offset by a reduction in personnel costs associated with our corporate operations. SG&A was also impacted by an unfavorable $8 million fx impact in the first half of 2026.
Vehicle interest expense, net increased $19 million in the first half of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 due primarily to increased debt levels and higher average rates in our Americas RAC segment resulting largely from the issuances of HVF III Series 2025 Notes in June and December 2025 and the issuance of HVF III Series 2026 Notes in May 2026.
Non-vehicle interest expense, net decreased $154 million in the first half of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 due primarily to unrealized gains related to changes in the fair value of the Exchange Features 2029 and the Exchange Feature 2030, partially offset by increased debt levels.
In the first half of 2026 and 2025, we recognized gains of $64 million and $89 million, respectively, on the sales of certain non-vehicle capital assets during the second quarters of 2026 and 2025 respectively, in our Americas RAC segment, as disclosed in Note 3, "Divestitures," in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report. We expect to continue to evaluate and complete, when deemed appropriate, sales and lease backs of certain non-vehicle capital assets through the end of 2026.
In the first half of 2026, we recorded a tax provision of $37 million, which resulted in an effective tax rate of (10)%. In the first half of 2025, we recorded a tax benefit of $104 million, which resulted in an effective tax rate of 15%. The change in tax in the first half of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 was driven primarily by lower pretax losses and increases in valuation allowances on deferred tax assets.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2026 Compared with Three Months Ended June 30, 2025
Total Americas RAC revenues increased $180 million in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 due primarily to higher pricing, in which Total RPD increased across all customer channels. Airport revenues comprised 70% of total revenues for the segment in the second quarter of 2026 compared to 69% in the same period in 2025.
Depreciation of revenue earning vehicles and lease charges, net for Americas RAC increased $66 million in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 due primarily to reduced gains and residual variability. The reduction in gains recognized on vehicle disposals resulted in large part from our disposition strategy in the second quarter of 2026, which included the prioritization of older vehicles and certain models and a higher mix of sales through less favorable disposition channels. The increase was partially offset by a reduction in costs associated with the sales of vehicles resulting in part from disposition channel mix.

Non-vehicle depreciation and amortization decreased $7 million in the first half of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 due primarily to an increase in assets that were fully depreciated and certain asset retirements in the first quarter of 2025.
SG&A for Americas RAC increased $15 million in the first half of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 due primarily to higher advertising spend.
Vehicle interest expense for Americas RAC increased $16 million in the first half of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 due primarily to increased debt levels and higher average rates resulting from the issuances of HVF III 2025 Notes in June and December 2025 and the issuance of the HVF III 2026 Notes in May 2026.
Americas RAC recognized gains of $64 million and $89 million in the first half of 2026 and 2025, respectively, on the sales of certain non-vehicle capital assets during the second quarters of 2026 and 2025, respectively, as disclosed in Note 3, "Divestitures," in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report. We expect to continue to evaluate and complete, when deemed appropriate, sales and lease backs of certain non-vehicle capital assets through the end of 2026.

(a)Adjusted Corporate EBITDA is calculated as net income (loss), adjusted for income taxes; non-vehicle depreciation and amortization; non-vehicle debt interest, net; vehicle debt-related charges; restructuring and restructuring related charges; net (gains) losses from financial instruments; share-based compensation expense; foreign currency (gains) losses; change in fair value of Public Warrants and certain other miscellaneous items. When evaluating our operating performance, investors should not consider Adjusted Corporate EBITDA in isolation of, or as a substitute for, measures of our financial performance determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The reconciliation to the most comparable U.S. GAAP measure is presented below.
Effective in the first quarter of 2026, we revised our definition of Adjusted Corporate EBITDA to adjust for realized (gains) losses from financial instruments, share-based compensation expense and foreign currency (gains) losses. The update to Adjusted Corporate EBITDA is to better reflect management's view of ongoing operations and its assessment of our operational performance. The presentation of the prior periods has been recast to conform to the current period presentation.

(c)Vehicle Utilization is calculated by dividing total Transaction Days by Available Car Days. Available Car Days represents Average Rentable Vehicles multiplied by the number of days in a given period. Average Rentable Vehicles excludes vehicles for sale on our retail lots or actively in the process of being sold through other disposition channels and is determined using a daily average of such vehicles. Effective in the first quarter of 2026, we changed our definition of Average Rentable Vehicles to use a daily average of rentable vehicles as opposed to a simple average of rentable vehicles at the beginning and end of a period. We believe this is a better, more accurate measure of our rentable vehicles. Accordingly, the prior periods have been recast to reflect this change.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our U.S. and international operations are funded by cash provided by operating activities and by extensive financing arrangements in the U.S. and internationally.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
As of June 30, 2026, we had $628 million of cash and cash equivalents and $673 million of restricted cash and cash equivalents. As of June 30, 2026, $209 million of cash and cash equivalents and $63 million of restricted cash and cash equivalents were held by our subsidiaries outside of the U.S. We continue to assert no permanent reinvestment of foreign earnings that give rise to excess cash, provided such cash can be remitted in a tax efficient manner.
We believe that cash and cash equivalents generated by our operations and cash received on the disposal of vehicles, together with amounts available under various liquidity facilities and refinancing options available to us in the capital markets, will be sufficient to fund our operating activities and obligations for the next twelve months and for the foreseeable future thereafter.
Cash Flows – Hertz
As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, Hertz had cash and cash equivalents of $628 million and $565 million, respectively, and restricted cash and cash equivalents of $673 million and $602 million, respectively. The following table summarizes the net change in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents for the periods shown:

to the payment of an existing bankruptcy-related litigation reserve in the first quarter of 2026 and an increase in value added tax receivables due primarily to timing of refunds.
Our primary investing activities relate to the acquisition and disposal of revenue earning vehicles. During the first half of 2026, there was a $505 million increase in the cash used in investing activities period over period due primarily to a $488 million increase in revenue earning vehicle expenditures, net. The increase in cash used by revenue earning vehicle expenditures, net, primarily resulted from increased vehicle acquisition costs.
Net financing cash inflows were $1.8 billion in the first half of 2026 compared to $933 million in the 2025 period. The $879 million increase in cash inflows is due primarily to an increase of $571 million in net proceeds from non-vehicle debt largely resulting from the issuance of the Exchangeable First Lien Notes Due 2030 in the second quarter of 2026 and higher outstanding borrowings on the First Lien RCF in the first half of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025. Cash inflows were also positively impacted from net vehicle debt of $326 million due in part to the issuance of the HVF III Series 2026 Notes in the second quarter of 2026 and additional net borrowings on the HVF III Series 2021-A Notes.
Cash Flows – Hertz Global
As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, Hertz Global had cash and cash equivalents of $631 million and $565 million, respectively, and restricted cash and cash equivalents of $673 million and $602 million, respectively. The following table summarizes the net change in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents for Hertz Global for the periods shown:

Cash paid for interest on vehicle debt during the first half of 2026 and 2025 was $294 million and $255 million, respectively. The $39 million increase in cash paid for vehicle debt interest is due primarily to issuances of HVF III Series 2025 Notes during 2025, partially offset by lower outstanding borrowings and lower interest rate under the HVF III Series 2021-A Notes. Cash paid for interest on non-vehicle debt during the first half of 2026 and 2025 was $219 million and $212 million, respectively. The $7 million increase in cash paid for non-vehicle debt interest is due primarily to higher outstanding borrowings under the First Lien RCF in the first half of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 and initial payment of semi-annual interest for the Exchangeable Notes Due 2030, partially offset by higher payments in the first quarter of 2025 resulting from the additional issuance of the First Lien Senior Notes in December 2024.

Exchangeable Notes Due 2029
In June 2024, Hertz issued $250 million in aggregate principal amount of the Exchangeable Notes Due 2029. The Exchangeable Notes Due 2029 bear PIK interest payable on the Semi-annual PIK Event, where PIK interest increases the principal amount of the Exchangeable Notes Due 2029 upon each Semi-annual PIK Event. In connection with Semi-annual PIK Event in the first quarter of 2026, we increased the principal amount of the Exchangeable Notes Due 2029 by $11 million.
Additionally, for each Semi-annual PIK Event, the Company bifurcates the Exchange Feature 2029 PIK from the Exchangeable Notes Due 2029 for accounting purposes utilizing applicable guidance. As a result of the Semi-annual PIK Event in the first quarter of 2026, we recognized an additional debt discount of $4 million within Non-vehicle debt in the accompanying unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2026 in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report, representing its initial fair value.

Exchangeable First Lien Notes Due 2030
In June 2026, Hertz issued $350 million in aggregate principal amount of Exchangeable First Lien Notes Due 2030. Hertz also granted the initial purchasers the Greenshoe Option, for settlement within a limited period of time from the issuance of the Exchangeable First Lien Notes Due 2030, up to an additional $50 million aggregate principal amount of Exchangeable First Lien Notes Due 2030. In July 2026, Hertz issued an additional $30 million aggregate

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
principal amount of Exchangeable First Lien Notes Due 2030 pursuant to the Greenshoe Option. The remainder of the Greenshoe Option has expired.
The Exchangeable First Lien Notes Due 2030 bear interest payable semi-annually in arrears on January 1 and July 1 of each year, beginning in January 2027. Each payment of interest will consist of 3.375% per annum of such interest to be paid in cash and 3.375% per annum of such interest to be paid in the form of PIK interest. The Exchangeable First Lien Notes Due 2030 will mature on July 1, 2030, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or exchanged in accordance with their terms prior to maturity.
The Exchangeable First Lien Notes Due 2030 will be exchangeable at any time until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date. The Exchangeable First Lien Notes Due 2030 will be exchangeable by holders into shares of Hertz Global common stock, cash or a combination of Hertz Global common stock and cash, at Hertz's election. The aggregate number of shares of Hertz Global common stock that may be issued upon exchange of the Exchangeable First Lien Notes Due 2030 may not exceed 63,457,320 shares, unless and until the shareholders of Hertz Global approve the issuance of the Exchangeable First Lien Notes Due 2030. The exchange rate will initially be 279.5248 shares per $1,000 principal amount of Exchangeable First Lien Notes Due 2030, corresponding to an initial exchange price of approximately $3.58 per share of Hertz Global common stock. The exchange rate and exchange price will be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events.
Holders of the Exchangeable First Lien Notes Due 2030 will have the right to require Hertz to repurchase all or a portion of their Exchangeable First Lien Notes Due 2030 at 100% of the capitalized principal amount of the Exchangeable First Lien Notes Due 2030 plus accrued and unpaid cash interest up to, but excluding, the date of such repurchase, upon the occurrence of certain corporate events constituting a “fundamental change” as defined in the indenture governing the Exchangeable First Lien Notes Due 2030. Hertz may not redeem the Exchangeable First Lien Notes Due 2030 prior to January 6, 2029. On or after January 6, 2029 and on or prior to the 31st scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, if the last reported sale price per share of Hertz Global common stock has been at least 130% of the exchange price for the Exchangeable First Lien Notes Due 2030 for certain specified periods, and certain other conditions are satisfied, Hertz may redeem all or any portion (subject to certain limitations) of the Exchangeable First Lien Notes Due 2030. The redemption will be at a cash redemption price equal to the capitalized principal amount of the Exchangeable First Lien Notes Due 2030 to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid cash interest to, but excluding, the date of such redemption.
Upon issuance, we bifurcated the First Lien Exchangeable Feature 2030 from the Exchangeable First Lien Notes Due 2030 for accounting purposes utilizing applicable guidance. As a result, we recognized a debt discount of $115 million within Non-vehicle debt in the accompanying unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2026 in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report, representing the initial fair value of the First Lien Exchangeable Feature 2030. As of June 30, 2026, the fair value of the First Lien Exchangeable Feature 2030 was $110 million. Refer to Note 11, "Fair Value Measurements," in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report for further details.
Concurrently with the issuance of the Exchangeable First Lien Notes Due 2030, Hertz Global agreed to lend the Share Borrower a total of 37,037,037 shares of Hertz Global common stock pursuant to the Share Lending Agreement to help facilitate the successful completion of the Exchangeable First Lien Notes Due 2030 offering. Hertz Global received a one-time nominal lending fee for the Borrowed Shares equal to the par value of Hertz Global's common stock. The Share Borrower was obligated to furnish collateral equal in value to the market value of the Borrowed Shares as of the closing date of the Share Lending Agreement. The share loan under the Share Lending Agreement will terminate, and the Borrowed Shares must be returned to Hertz Global within five business days of such termination (subject to the Share Borrower's right to extend the settlement due date of the Borrowed Shares in certain circumstances, under the following circumstances: (i) the Share Borrower may terminate all or any portion of the loan at any time and (ii) on the earliest to occur of (a) October 1, 2030; (b) the date that is three months after the first date following the closing date of the Exchangeable First Lien Notes Due 2030 offering when none of the Exchangeable First Lien Notes Due 2030 remains outstanding; and (c) the date, if any, on which the Share Lending Agreement is terminated by the parties upon mutual agreement or by one party upon a default with

respect to the other party. Cash repayment is not required by the Share Lending Agreement; however, it may be elected in certain instances involving default, legal prohibitions or a court order.
The Share Lending Agreement qualified for equity classification, and, as such, Hertz Global recognized a debt issuance cost of $85 million, representing the initial fair value of the Share Lending Agreement, as determined by the market value of the Borrowed Shares as of the closing date of the Share Lending Agreement. As of June 30, 2026, the fair value of the Borrowed Shares was $84 million, as determined by the market value of the Borrowed Shares at June 30, 2026. The shares borrowed under the Share Lending Agreement are excluded from the calculation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share. Refer to Note 8, "Public Warrants, Equity and Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share – Hertz Global," in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report for further details.

Letters of Credit
As of June 30, 2026, there were outstanding standby letters of credit totaling $1.1 billion comprised primarily of $493 million issued under the First Lien RCF, $326 million of various Standby LCs and $245 million issued under the Term C Loan. As of June 30, 2026, no capacity remained to issue additional letters of credit under the Term C Loan. Such letters of credit have been issued primarily to provide credit enhancement for our asset-backed securitization facilities and to support our insurance programs, as well as to support our vehicle rental concessions and leaseholds. As of June 30, 2026, none of the issued letters of credit have been drawn upon.
The Standby LCs provide that, at Hertz's option and under the terms of the facilities, Hertz may request letters of credit be issued for itself and on behalf of certain of its subsidiaries up to the committed amounts of the facilities. In the first half of 2026, Hertz increased the amounts committed under its Standby LCs by approximately $300 million, in which approximately $200 million occurred in February 2026.

The First Lien Credit Agreement requires us to comply with the following financial covenant: a First Lien Ratio, which requires a ratio of less than or equal to 3.0x in the first and last quarters of the calendar year and 3.5x in the second and third quarters of the calendar year. We are also subject to a minimum liquidity covenant, which requires $400 million for each month ending in the second and third quarters of the calendar year and $500 million for each month ending in the first and fourth quarter of the calendar year. As of June 30, 2026, we were in compliance with the First Lien Ratio and the minimum liquidity covenant.
Additionally, our Corporate Indebtedness contain customary affirmative covenants, including, among other things, the delivery of quarterly and annual financial statements and/or compliance certificates, and covenants related to conduct of business, maintenance of property and insurance, compliance with environmental laws and, where applicable, the granting of security interests for the benefit of the secured parties under the applicable agreements on after-acquired real property, fixtures and future subsidiaries.
The terms of our Corporate Indebtedness contain covenants limiting the ability of Hertz and its restricted subsidiaries to: incur or guarantee additional indebtedness; incur or guarantee secured indebtedness; pay dividends or distributions on, or redeem or repurchase, Hertz Global capital stock; make certain investments or other restricted payments; sell certain assets; transfer intellectual property to unrestricted subsidiaries; merge, consolidate or sell all or substantially all of its assets; and create restrictions on the ability of Hertz’s restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends or other amounts to Hertz. As per the terms of the Corporate Indebtedness, these covenants are subject to a number of important and significant limitations, qualifications and exceptions.

In the first half of 2026, expenditures for non-vehicle capital assets increased $13 million, or 30%, compared to the same period in 2025, driven in part by increased IT-related spend, primarily in our Americas RAC segment. In the first half of 2026, proceeds for non-vehicle capital assets were comparable to the same period in 2025 resulting from an increase in the disposition of certain non-vehicle capital assets in our Americas RAC segment, partially offset by the disposition of certain non-vehicle capital assets in our International RAC segment in the first quarter of 2025.
We continually evaluate and will complete, when deemed appropriate, sales and lease backs of certain non-vehicle capital assets during 2026.
CONTRACTUAL AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS
In the second quarter of 2026, we sold and leased back certain real estate associated with an airport rental location and certain operating sites in our Americas RAC segment. The sales qualified for sale-leaseback accounting, with the exception of certain buildings, and are accounted for as operating leases and have aggregate future minimum lease payments of approximately $149 million. Refer to Note 6, "Revenues and Costs from Leases," in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report for our minimum fixed lease obligations under existing agreements as a lessee as of June 30, 2026. Refer also to Note 3, "Divestitures," in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to a variety of market risks, including the effects of changes in interest rates (including credit spreads), foreign currency exchange rates, equity price risks and fluctuations in fuel prices. We manage our exposure to these market risks through our regular operating and financing activities and, when deemed appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. Derivative financial instruments are viewed as risk management tools and have not been used for speculative or trading purposes. In addition, derivative financial instruments are entered into with a diversified group of major financial institutions in order to manage our exposure to counterparty nonperformance on such instruments.

CHANGE IN CONTROL SEVERANCE PLAN FOR SENIOR EXECUTIVES
On August 5, 2026, the Board upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee of the Board, approved and adopted the 2026 Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. Change in Control Severance Plan for Senior Executives (the “Change in Control Severance Plan”). The Change in Control Severance Plan provides severance and related benefits to a select group of the Company’s senior executives (including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and other executive and senior vice president-level employees, which group includes the Company’s named executive officers) in the event of a “Qualifying Termination” which is a termination by the Company other than for “cause,” permanent disability, or death or a resignation by the senior executive for “good reason,” in either case occurring on or within 2 years following a “change in control” of the Company (as defined in the Change in Control Severance Plan).
Upon a Qualifying Termination, in addition to receiving any earned but unpaid salary, earned but unpaid annual performance bonus for the year prior to termination, and/or other vested payments or benefits, an eligible senior executive will be entitled to receive: (i) a pro-rata annual performance bonus for the year of termination based on actual achievement of the applicable performance metrics; (ii) a cash severance payment equal to the sum of the senior executive’s base salary and target annual bonus, multiplied by a severance factor (1.5 times for senior vice presidents, 2.0 times for executive vice presidents, and 2.5 times for the Chief Executive Officer), generally payable in installments (except for the current Chief Executive Officer, whose payment will be made in a lump sum in accordance with his employment agreement) over a corresponding “Severance Period” (18 months for senior vice presidents, 24 months for executive vice presidents, and 30 months for the Chief Executive Officer following termination); (iii) continued medical, dental, vision, and other health coverage (or, if such coverage cannot be provided, a monthly cash payment equal to the applicable COBRA premium) for the duration of the applicable Severance Period; and (iv) full accelerated vesting of outstanding time-based equity awards and pro-rata accelerated vesting of outstanding performance-based equity awards (with performance deemed achieved at the greater of target or actual results as of the termination date), in each case under the Company’s 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan (or any successor thereto).
82
The senior executive must execute (and not revoke) a release of claims within 60 days following termination to be eligible for benefits. The Change in Control Severance Plan contains certain covenants regarding confidential information, non-competition, non-solicitation and non-disparagement. These restrictive covenants generally apply for a period equal to the greater of 12 months or the applicable Severance Period, but not more than 24 months following termination. All compensation and benefits payable under the Change in Control Severance Plan also remain subject to the Company’s Covered Officer Compensation Clawback Policy or any other clawback policy of the Company. A senior executive who is otherwise a party to a separate offer letter, employment agreement, or similar arrangement providing for severance is not entitled to duplicate benefits under the Change in Control Severance Plan.
The foregoing description of the Change in Control Severance Plan does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the full text of the Change in Control Severance Plan, a copy of which is filed with this Quarterly Report.
