Hertz Global Holdings Completes $825 Million Asset-Backed Note Facility

PARK RIDGE, NJ--(Marketwire - September 15, 2008) - Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: HTZ) today announced that it has closed on a new $825 million, 2 year asset-backed variable funding note facility for Hertz Vehicle Financing LLC, its indirect wholly owned subsidiary, to finance cars in its U.S. rental fleet. The facility, which has a maturity date of August 15, 2010, improves the Company's ample liquidity position. The borrowing spread is approximately 150 basis points higher than the Company's existing variable notes.

"We are pleased with the addition of this rental fleet financing facility which, when coupled with liquidity exceeding $4 billion, underscores Hertz's overall financial strength," commented Mark P. Frissora, Hertz's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

The Company said that Lehman Brothers, Inc. did not participate in the new facility. Furthermore, Hertz said its funding exposure to Lehman Brothers, Inc. under other facilities is immaterial.
