The Hertz Corporation
Case No. 20-11218
Case Background
On May 22, 2020, The Hertz Corporation (“Hertz” or the “Company”) and certain of its U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries and affiliates filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. Hertz filed following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, which had a severe and dramatic effect on travel demand.
Hertz continued normal business operations. All of its businesses globally, including its Hertz, Dollar, Thrifty, Firefly, Hertz Car Sales, and Donlen subsidiaries, remained open and serving customers. All reservations, promotional offers, vouchers, customer and loyalty programs, including rewards points, continued as usual.
Hertz’s principal international operating regions, including Europe, Australia and New Zealand were not included in the U.S. Chapter 11 proceedings. In addition, Hertz’s franchised locations, which are not owned by the Company, also were not included in the Chapter 11 proceedings.
On June 10, 2021, the Court entered an order confirming the Company’s Second Modified Third Amended Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan provides for the payment in cash in full to all creditors and for existing shareholders to receive more than $1 billion of value.
On June 30, 2021, Hertz successfully completed its restructuring process and emerged as a financially and operationally stronger and more competitive company.
