Explanatory Note
This Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D (this Amendment No. 3) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D originally filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on June 8, 2009, as previously amended (as so amended, the Statement).
ITEM 4. | Purpose of Transaction |
Item 4 of the Statement is amended by inserting the following information:
On March 12, 2013, Carlyle Partners IV, L.P., CP IV Coinvestment, L.P., CEP II U.S. Investments, L.P. and CEP II Participations S.à r.l. SICAR sold 14,552,261 Shares, 587,717 Shares, 1,775,740 Shares and 69,639 Shares, respectively, in each case to Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Barclays Capital Inc. (together, the Underwriters) at a price of $20.14 per Share, in a registered offering (the Secondary Offering) pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement, dated as of March 6, 2013 (the Underwriting Agreement), by and among the CD&R Hertz Funds (as defined in the Statement), the Carlyle Hertz Funds (as defined in the Statement), the Merrill Lynch Hertz Funds (defined herein to include ML Global Private Equity Fund, L.P., Merrill Lynch Ventures L.P. 2001, ML Hertz Co-Investor, L.P., Merrill Lynch Global Private Equity, Inc., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and Bank of America, N.A.), CMC-Hertz Partners, L.P. and the Underwriters. Also on March 12, 2013, the Issuer repurchased from the Underwriters 23,200,000 of the Shares (the Repurchased Shares) sold by the Selling Stockholders (as defined in the Underwriting Agreement) at a price of $20.14 per share.
Under the Underwriting Agreement, the Issuer, the CD&R Hertz Funds, the Carlyle Hertz Funds, the Merrill Lynch Hertz Funds and CMC-Hertz Partners, L.P. have agreed with the Underwriters, subject to certain exceptions, not to dispose of or hedge any Shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Shares during the period from March 6, 2013 continuing through and including the date 45 days after March 6, 2013, except with the prior written consent of the Underwriters (such period, the restricted period). The restricted period will be automatically extended if: (1) during the last 17 days of the restricted period the Issuer releases earnings results or announces material news or a material event; or (2) prior to the expiration of the restricted period, the Issuer announces that it will release earnings results during the 15-day period following the last day of the restricted period, in which case the restrictions described above will continue to apply until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the date of release of the earnings results or the announcement of the material news or material event, as applicable, unless the Underwriters waive, in writing, such extension.
The foregoing description of the Underwriting Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Underwriting Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 8 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
As a result of the Secondary Offering, ML Global Private Equity Fund, L.P. no longer has the right under the Stockholders Agreement (as defined in the Statement) to designate a candidate to the Issuers board of directors. Angel Morales, who was designated by ML Global
CUSIP No. 42805T 10 5 | 13D | Page 17 of 22 Pages |
Private Equity Fund, L.P. to serve as a director of the Issuer pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, although still serving on the Issuers board of directors, ceased to be the designee of ML Global Private Equity Fund, L.P. upon completion of the Secondary Offering. Additionally, substantially all of the Merrill Lynch Hertz Funds rights and obligations under the Stockholders Agreement have been terminated following the consummation of the Secondary Offering, including, among other things, the provisions (i) governing the Merrill Lynch Hertz Funds drag-along rights and (ii) restrictions on the transfer of Shares. Pursuant to a waiver delivered by the CD&R Hertz Funds and the Carlyle Hertz Funds following the Secondary Offering (the Waiver), Merrill Lynch Ventures L.P. 2001 and CMC-Hertz Partners, L.P. are no longer required under the Stockholders Agreement to take all necessary action to cause the nominees to the Issuers board of directors chosen by any such other principal investors to be elected. However, the Merrill Lynch Hertz Funds and CMC-Hertz Partners, L.P. continue to have the ability to exercise, and remain subject to, certain tag-along rights under the Stockholders Agreement.
As a result of the foregoing, the Merrill Lynch Hertz Funds may no longer be deemed to be members of a group exercising voting and investment control over the Shares held by the other group members, and, therefore, ceased to be the beneficial owners of more than five percent of the Issuers Shares.
The foregoing description of the Waiver does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Waiver, which is filed as Exhibit 9 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
Except as described in this Item 4 and Item 6 of this Statement which are incorporated herein by reference, the Reporting Persons have no present plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions required to be reported herein.
ITEM 5. | Interest in Securities of the Issuer |
Item 5(a), (b) and (c) of the Statement are amended and restated in their entirety by inserting the following information:
