| Item 7.01. | Regulation FD Disclosure |
As previously disclosed, on May 22, 2020, Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. (the “Company” or “we”), The Hertz Corporation and certain of their direct and indirect subsidiaries in the United States and Canada (collectively, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions for relief 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 (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) for the Debtors. The Debtors are requesting joint administration of their Chapter 11 Cases under the caption “In re The Hertz Corporation, et al., Case No. 20-11218 MFW.”
Pursuant to the Operating Guidelines for Chapter 11 Cases issued by the Office of the United States Trustee for Region 3 for cases pending in the District of Delaware, shortly following the filing date of a Chapter 11 petition, debtors are required to submit to the United States Trustee and file with the Bankruptcy Court an Initial Report (the “Initial Report”). On June 15, 2020, we filed our Initial Report with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware.
A copy of the Initial Report is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. The information contained in this Item 7.01 and Exhibit 99.1 hereto shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and shall not be incorporated by reference into any filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as may be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of federal securities laws. Words such as “expect” and “intend” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, which include but are not limited to statements related to our liquidity; the expected effects on our business, financial condition and results of operations due to the spread of the COVID-19 virus; the bankruptcy process; our ability to obtain approval from the Bankruptcy Court with respect to motions or other requests made to the Bankruptcy Court throughout the course of the Chapter 11 Cases; the effects of the Chapter 11 Cases, including increased professional costs, on our liquidity, results of operations and business; our ability to comply with the continued listing criteria of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) and risks arising from the potential suspension of trading of our common stock on, or delisting from, the NYSE; the effects of Chapter 11 on the interests of various constituents; and the ability to negotiate, develop, confirm and consummate a plan of reorganization. We caution you that these statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to numerous evolving risks and uncertainties that we may not be able to accurately predict or assess, including those in our risk factors that we identify in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 25, 2020, and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q filed subsequent thereto.
