Explanatory Note

This Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment No. 4”) 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 May 9, 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 17,419,399 Shares, 703,512 Shares, 2,125,603 Shares and 83,358 Shares, respectively, in each case to Goldman, Sachs & Co. and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC (together, the “Underwriters”) at a price of $24.715 per Share, in a registered offering (the “May 2013 Secondary Offering”) pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement, dated as of May 6, 2013 (the “May 2013 Underwriting Agreement”), by and among the CD&R Hertz Funds (as defined in the Statement), the Carlyle Hertz Funds (as defined in the Statement), Merrill Lynch Ventures L.P. 2001, CMC-Hertz Partners, L.P. and the Underwriters.

Under the May 2013 Underwriting Agreement, the Issuer, the CD&R Hertz Funds, the Carlyle Hertz Funds, Merrill Lynch Ventures L.P. 2001 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 May 6, 2013 continuing through and including the date 45 days after May 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 issues an earnings release 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 issuance of the earnings release or the announcement of the material news or material event, as applicable, unless Goldman, Sachs & Co. waives, in writing, such extension.

The foregoing description of the May 2013 Underwriting Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the May 2013 Underwriting Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

In connection with the May 2013 Secondary Offering, the Issuer entered into a termination letter agreement with the CD&R Hertz Funds, the Carlyle Hertz Funds, the Merrill Lynch Hertz Funds and CMC-Hertz Partners, L.P. (the “Termination Letter”), pursuant to which, effective as of May 9, 2013, the Stockholders’ Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement (each as defined in the Statement) were terminated, except that certain indemnification obligations set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement survived termination. As a result of the termination of the Stockholders’ Agreement, the CD&R Hertz Funds, the Carlyle Hertz Funds and the Merrill Lynch Hertz Funds no longer have the right to designate nominees to the Issuer’s Board of Directors under such agreement, and the directors currently serving on the Issuer’s Board of Directors that were designated by them are no longer “Investor Nominees” for purposes of the Stockholders Agreement.


 CUSIP No. 42805T 10 5    13D    Page 17 of 21 Pages  

 

As a result of the foregoing, the CD&R Hertz Funds and the Carlyle Hertz Funds may no longer be deemed to be members of a group exercising voting and investment control over the Shares, and, therefore, ceased to be the beneficial owners of more than five percent of the Issuer’s Shares.

The foregoing description of the Termination Letter does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Termination Letter, which is filed as Exhibit 11 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

Except as described in this Item 4 of this Statement, 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

5(a) – (b) Item 5(a) and (b) of the Statement are amended and restated in their entirety by inserting the following information:

As of the date hereof (and after giving effect to the sale of the Shares in the Secondary Offering), none of the Reporting Persons beneficially owns any Shares, and none of the Reporting Persons has or shares the power to vote or to direct the vote, or the power to dispose or direct the disposition of, any Shares.

As noted in “Item 2. Identity and Background,” the CD&R Hertz Funds and the Merrill Lynch Hertz Funds are not included as Reporting Persons in this Schedule 13D, and the Carlyle Hertz Funds expressly disclaim beneficial ownership of all Shares held by such funds.

 

5(c) Item 5(c) of the Statement is amended by inserting the following information:

The information set forth in Item 4 above is hereby incorporated by reference.

 

5(e) Item 5(e) of the Statement is amended by inserting the following information:

On May 9, 2013, following the transactions reported herein, each of the Reporting Persons ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the Shares.

 

ITEM 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer

Item 6 of the Statement is amended and restated in its entirety by inserting the following information:

The information set forth in Item 4 above is hereby incorporated by reference in response to Item 6.
