SCHEDULE I (Continued)
HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO PARENT COMPANY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1—Background and Basis of Presentation
Hertz Global Holdings, Inc., or ‘‘Hertz Holdings,’’ is the top-level holding company that conducts
substantially all of its business operations through its indirect subsidiaries. Hertz Holdings was
incorporated in Delaware on August 31, 2005 in anticipation of the December 21, 2005 acquisition by its
subsidiary, Hertz Investors, Inc., of the Hertz Corporation. Hertz Holdings had no operations prior to
December 21, 2005, and accordingly, its results of operations and cash flows have only been presented
for the post-acquisition 11-day period ended December 31, 2005 and the years ended December 31,
2006 and 2007.
There are significant restrictions over the ability of Hertz Holdings to obtain funds from its indirect
subsidiaries through dividends, loans or advances. Accordingly, these condensed financial statements
have been presented on a ‘‘parent-only’’ basis. Under a parent-only presentation, the investments of
Hertz Holdings in its consolidated subsidiaries are presented under the equity method of accounting.
These parent-only financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements of Hertz Holdings included in this Annual Report under the caption ‘‘Item 8—Financial
Statements and Supplementary Data.’’
Note 2—Debt
On June 30, 2006, Hertz Holdings entered into a loan facility with Deutsche Bank, AG, New York Branch,
Lehman Commercial Paper Inc., Merrill Lynch Capital Corporation, Goldman Sachs Credit Partners L.P.,
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. or affiliates thereof, providing for
a loan of $1.0 billion, or the ‘‘Hertz Holdings Loan Facility,’’ for the purpose of paying a special cash
dividend to the holders of record of its common stock immediately prior to the initial public offering and
paying fees and expenses related to the facility. The Hertz Holdings Loan Facility was repaid in full with
the proceeds of its initial public offering, and the restrictive covenants contained therein were terminated.
As of December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, Hertz Holdings had no direct outstanding debt
obligations, but its indirect subsidiaries did. For a discussion of the debt obligations of the indirect
subsidiaries of Hertz Holdings, see Note 3 to the Notes to the consolidated financial statements included
in this Annual Report under the caption ‘‘Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.’’
Note 3—Commitments and Contingencies
Hertz Holdings has no direct commitments and contingencies, but its indirect subsidiaries do. For a
discussion of the commitments and contingencies of the indirect subsidiaries of Hertz Holdings, see
Notes 8 and 10 to the Notes to the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report
under the caption ‘‘Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.’’
Note 4—Dividends
Hertz Holdings did not receive any cash dividends from its subsidiaries during 2007. During 2006, Hertz
Holdings received $15.5 million in cash dividends from its subsidiaries.
