BURGESS SHARI L 4

What Happened Shari L. Burgess, a director of Herc Holdings Inc. (HRI), was granted 1,035 units of phantom stock on May 14, 2026. The units were reported at $0.00 per unit (no cash paid); they are derivative awards that represent the economic equivalent of common shares rather than immediate issuance of tradable stock. This is an award/compensation grant rather than a market purchase or sale.

Context Phantom stock is a form of compensation that tracks the value of actual shares but does not create immediately tradable stock — it typically converts to shares or cash later under prescribed conditions. Such grants are routine director compensation and do not, by themselves, indicate buying or selling sentiment in the open market.
