On May 26, 2020, Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter from the staff of NYSE Regulation, Inc. (“NYSE Regulation”) that it had determined to commence proceedings to delist the common stock of the Company from the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). NYSE Regulation reached its decision that the Company is no longer suitable for listing pursuant to NYSE Listed Company Manual Section 802.01D after the Company’s disclosure on May 22, 2020 that it has commenced voluntary petitions for reorganization under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Company appealed the determination in a timely manner and requested a hearing before the NYSE. At this time, the common stock of the Company will continue to be listed and trade on the NYSE pending resolution of such appeal. There can be no assurance that the NYSE will grant the Company’s request for continued listing at the hearing and whether there will be equity value in the Company’s common stock.

On June 5, 2020, Jodi Allen was terminated without cause from her position as Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer of the Company. On June 9, 2020, Laura Smith was appointed as Executive Vice President Global Marketing and Customer Experience Officer of the Company.
