Item 8.01 Other Events

On April 19, 2012, RSC Holdings Inc. (“RSC Holdings”) entered into a memorandum of understanding with respect to a settlement with the parties to the actions in the Superior Court of the State of Arizona, in and for the County of Maricopa (the “Arizona State Court”), captioned Israni v. RSC Holdings, Inc., et al., No. CV2011-020579 (the “Litigation”). Pursuant to the memorandum of understanding, the parties expect to execute a stipulation of settlement, which will be subject to approval by the Arizona State Court following notice to the stockholders of RSC Holdings. There can be no assurance that the settlement will be finalized or that the Arizona State Court will approve the settlement. The settlement terms provide that the Litigation will be dismissed with prejudice against all defendants. RSC Holdings and the other named defendants deny any liability with respect to the facts and claims alleged in the Litigation. Defendants further deny that any supplemental disclosure was required under any applicable statute, rule, regulation or law. Without agreeing that any of the claims in the Litigation have merit, RSC Holdings has agreed, pursuant to the terms of the memorandum of understanding, to make the following disclosures which supplement the information provided in the registration statement and joint proxy statement/prospectus filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) by United Rentals, Inc. (“United Rentals”) on January 17, 2012, which has been subsequently amended and declared effective on March 23, 2012 (the “Registration Statement”), concerning the merger of RSC Holdings with United Rentals (the “Merger”). The settlement will not affect the amount of the merger consideration to be paid to the stockholders of RSC Holdings in the Merger.

While none of the companies that participated in the selected transactions are directly comparable to RSC and URI and none of the transactions in the selected transactions analysis is directly comparable to the merger, RSC’s financial advisors selected these transactions because each of the target companies in the selected transactions was involved in the equipment rental industry and had operating characteristics, geographic markets, end-markets, financial profiles and/or equipment rental products that for purposes of analysis may be considered similar to certain operating characteristics, geographic markets, end-markets, financial profiles and/or equipment rental products of RSC.

20. On page 100, in the fourth full paragraph, replace the second sentence beginning “Based on their judgments and experience” with the following sentence:

Based on their judgments and experience, informed by certain historical trading multiples of RSC and URI summarized above, RSC’s financial advisors selected a reference range of 5.50x to 6.50x and applied this range to the Forecasts of EBITDA for 2011, resulting in illustrative per share values for RSC common stock ranging from $7.13 to $12.15 and illustrative per share values for URI common stock ranging from $30.30 to $44.21.

21. On page 101, in the first paragraph under the heading “Discounted Cash Flow Analyses” insert the following before the period:

except that for the discounted cash flow analysis with respect to URI for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015, RSC’s financial advisors used the Extrapolated 2015 URI Forecasts (as defined below) (together with the URI Forecasts for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2012 through December 31, 2014, the “URI Forecasts with 2015 Extrapolation”)

22. On page 101, replace the second paragraph under the heading “Discounted Cash Flow Analyses”, with the following paragraph:

In conducting its discounted cash flow analysis, RSC’s financial advisors used a range of discount rates from 9.00% to 10.50% derived by utilizing the capital asset pricing model, which takes into account certain financial metrics, including the beta, for RSC, as well as certain financial metrics for the United States financial markets generally. The applied discount rates ranging from 9.00% to 10.50% were based upon RSC’s financial advisors’ judgment of an illustrative range based upon the above analysis. RSC’s financial advisors calculated implied prices per share of RSC common stock using illustrative terminal values in fiscal year 2015 based on a terminal EBITDA multiple range of 5.00x to 5.50x. These illustrative terminal values were then discounted using the RSC illustrative discount rates and added to the net present value of the unlevered free cash flows for RSC for fiscal years 2012 through 2015 to calculate implied indications of present values discounted to the beginning of fiscal year 2012. This analysis resulted in a range of illustrative present values of $12.79 to $17.53 per share of RSC common stock and implied perpetuity growth rates ranging from 3.00% to 4.90%. In the illustrative discounted cash flow analyses described in this paragraph, unlevered free cash flow, which is RSC’s projected EBITDA, minus taxes (calculated by multiplying the tax rate contained in the RSC Forecasts by RSC’s projected EBIT), minus its projected capital expenditures and minus the projected increase in net working capital, was calculated using the RSC Forecasts.

23. On page 101, replace the third paragraph under the heading “Discounted Cash Flow Analyses” with the following paragraph:

In conducting its discounted cash flow analysis, RSC’s financial advisors used a range of discount rates from 9.00% to 10.50% derived by utilizing the capital asset pricing model, which takes into account certain financial metrics, including the beta, for URI, as well as certain financial metrics for the United States financial markets generally. The applied discount rates ranging from 9.00% to 10.50% were based upon RSC’s financial advisors’ judgment of an illustrative range based upon the above analysis. RSC’s financial advisors calculated implied prices per share of URI common stock using illustrative terminal values in fiscal year 2015 based on a terminal EBITDA multiple range of 4.50x to 5.00x. These illustrative terminal values were then discounted using the URI illustrative discount rates and added to the net present value of the unlevered free cash flows for URI for fiscal years 2012 through 2015 to calculate implied indications of present values discounted to the beginning of fiscal year 2012. This analysis resulted in a range of illustrative present values of $43.97 to $57.18 per share of URI common stock and implied perpetuity growth rates ranging from 0.80% to 2.90%. In the illustrative discounted cash flow analyses described in this paragraph, unlevered free cash flow, which is URI’s projected EBITDA, minus taxes (calculated by multiplying the tax rate contained in the URI Forecasts with 2015 Extrapolation by URI’s projected EBIT), minus its projected capital expenditures and minus the projected increase in net working capital, was calculated using the URI Forecasts with 2015 Extrapolation.

24. On page 102, in the first paragraph under the heading “Present Value of Future Stock Price Analyses”, insert the following before the period in the second sentence beginning “For this analysis, RSC’s financial advisors used”:

and current forward year EBITDA multiples of 4.75x to 5.75x for RSC and 3.99x to 5.25x for URI. Based on their experience and professional judgment, the analysis of RSC’s financial advisors focused on the implied present value of the future stock price of RSC’s and URI’s common stock produced using EBITDA multiples of 5.06x to 5.50x and 4.67x to 5.25x, respectively

25. On page 102, in the first paragraph under the heading “Illustrative Combined Future Share Price Analysis”, after the first sentence beginning “RSC’s financial advisors performed an illustrative analysis”, insert:

This illustrative analysis included an estimate of approximately $205 million of run-rate cost synergies provided by the management of RSC to RSC’s financial advisors, which estimate includes cost savings, operating synergies and other strategic benefits expected by the management of RSC to result from a combination of the businesses.

26. On page 130, in the paragraph that precedes the heading “RSC Projections,” replace the second sentence, which begins with “URI provided this information to the URI board” with the following:

URI provided this information to the URI board, Centerview and Morgan Stanley as described herein because URI believed such information could be useful in evaluating, on a prospective basis, URI’s estimated financial performance for each of the fiscal years ending December 31, 2012 through December 31, 2015. URI also provided the financial projections described for the fiscal years 2012 through 2014 to RSC and its financial advisors. The financial projections described above for fiscal year 2012 reflect certain non-material updates that URI management made to those projections subsequent to providing projections to RSC and its financial advisors to reflect certain developments in the macroeconomic environment. Those non-material updates to the 2012 financial projections were not provided by URI to RSC and its financial advisors.

27. On page 130, insert the following immediately prior to the heading “RSC Projections”:

URI Projections Prepared by RSC

In connection with its evaluation of the merger, RSC was provided with the prospective financial information with respect to URI prepared by management of URI for each of the fiscal years ending December 31, 2012 through December 31, 2014 described above under “URI Projections .” RSC management extrapolated the prospective financial information provided by URI to calculate certain prospective financial information with respect to URI for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015 (the “Extrapolated 2015 URI Forecasts”). The following table presents a summary of the Extrapolated 2015 URI Forecasts (in millions $):


	2015E
Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾	$	1,598
Free Cash Flow⁽²⁾		385

⁽¹⁾

Adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization adjusted for certain one-time gains, charges, expenses and stock compensation expenses, is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered as an alternative to operating income or net income as a measure of operating performance or cash flow or as a measure of liquidity.

⁽²⁾

Free cash flow as presented above is a non-GAAP financial measure and is defined as net cash provided by operating activities and net capital inflows (expenditures).

28. On page 168, in the second full paragraph, insert the following after the first sentence, which begins with “RSC’s no-shop period began on December 15, 2011”:

As of the date hereof, since December 15, 2011, RSC has not received any inquiries or indications of interest regarding an acquisition proposal.
