ITEM 7.01 REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE.

On May 22, 2020, Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. ("Hertz Global"), The Hertz Corporation ("THC," and collectively with Hertz Global, "Hertz" or the "Company") and certain of their direct and indirect subsidiaries in the United States and Canada (but excluding, without limitation, (i) Hertz International Limited, Hertz Holdings Netherlands BV ("Hertz Netherlands") and the direct and indirect subsidiary companies located outside of the United States and Canada (the "International Subsidiaries") and (ii) Hertz Vehicle Financing LLC, Hertz Vehicle Financing II LP, Hertz Fleet Lease Funding LP and certain other vehicle financing subsidiaries) (collectively, the "Debtors") filed voluntary petitions for relief (collectively, the "Petitions") under chapter 11 of title 11 ("Chapter 11") of the United States Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the "Bankruptcy Court"), thereby commencing Chapter 11 cases for the Debtors.

In connection with the commencement of their Chapter 11 cases, the Debtors filed a number of motions with the Bankruptcy Court. Among these was a motion to establish certain procedures to protect any potential value of the Company's net operating loss carryforwards and other tax attributes (the "NOLs," and such motion, the "NOL Motion"). On May 27, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court entered an interim order approving the NOL Motion (the "NOL Order") and directing the Debtors, to, among other things, provide notice of the NOL Order by annexing an approved notice thereof (the "Notice of NOL Order") to a filing on Form 8-K.

The NOL Order establishes certain procedures (the "Procedures") with respect to direct and indirect trading and transfers of stock of the Company in order to protect any potential value of the Company's NOLs for use in connection with the reorganization. As approved on an interim basis, the Procedures restrict transactions involving, and require notices of the holdings of and proposed transactions by, any person or group of persons that is or, as a result of such a transaction, would become, a Substantial Shareholder of the common stock issued by the Company (the "Common Stock"). For purposes of the Procedures, a "Substantial Shareholder" is any person or, in certain cases, group of persons that beneficially own, directly or indirectly (and/or owns options to acquire) at least approximately 6.4 million shares of Common Stock (representing approximately 4.5% of all issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock). Any prohibited transfer of Common Stock would be null and void from the beginning and may lead to contempt, compensatory damages, punitive damages, or sanctions being imposed by the Bankruptcy Court. In addition, the NOL Order establishes May 22, 2020 as the "Record Date" applicable to certain claims trading activity that may be governed by additional procedures that the Debtors requested by the NOL Motion be established by a final order. These additional procedures not yet approved by the Bankruptcy Court would (i) establish certain future circumstances under which any person, group of persons, or entity holding, or which as a result of a proposed transaction may hold, a substantial amount of certain claims against the Debtors may be required to file notice of its holdings of such claims and of proposed transactions involving such claims, which transactions may be restricted, and (ii) describe certain limited circumstances thereafter under which such person(s) may be required to sell, by a specified date, all or a portion of any such claims acquired during the Chapter 11 cases.

The Notice of NOL Order setting forth the Procedures is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this current report and is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 7.01.
