Item 8.01

Other Events.

On September 25, 2025, Hertz Corp. issued a press release to announce the pricing of $375 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.500% Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2030 (the “Notes”). Hertz Corp. also granted the initial purchasers of the Notes an option to purchase up to an additional $50 million aggregate principal amount of Notes for settlement within a 13-day period beginning on, and including, the initial closing date. The aggregate principal amount of the offering was increased from the previously announced offering size of $250 million.

Hertz Corp. estimates that the net proceeds from the issuance of the Notes, after deducting the initial purchasers’ discount and estimated offering expenses payable by Hertz Corp., will be approximately $360.13 million (or approximately $408.38 million if the initial purchasers exercise in full their option to purchase additional Notes). Hertz Corp. intends to use approximately $33.26 million of the net proceeds from the issuance of the Notes to fund the cost of entering into the capped call transactions described below. Hertz Corp. intends to use $300 million of the net proceeds from the issuance of the Notes to fund the partial redemption or repurchase of its outstanding Senior Notes due 2026 on or before December 31, 2025 and to use the remaining net proceeds for general corporate purposes, which may include the repayment of outstanding indebtedness. If the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional Notes, then Hertz Corp. intends to use a portion of the additional net proceeds to fund the cost of entering into additional capped call transactions and apply the remainder towards general corporate purposes, which may include the repayment of outstanding indebtedness.

A copy of the press release issued by the Company announcing the pricing of the offering is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.

The Notes and the guarantees of the Notes were offered only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Notes, the guarantees of the Notes and any shares of the common stock of the Company issuable upon exchange of the Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements under the Securities Act and the securities laws of any other jurisdiction.
