Exhibit 99.1
FORM OF INSTRUCTIONS
FOR USE OF
HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC.
SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS CERTIFICATES
CONSULT THE INFORMATION AGENT,
YOUR BANK OR BROKER AS TO ANY
QUESTIONS
The following instructions relate to a rights offering (the “rights offering”) by Hertz Global Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), to the holders of record (the “record holders”) of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “common stock”), as described in the Company’s Prospectus Supplement, dated June 13, 2019 (together with the accompanying prospectus, the “Prospectus”). Record holders of common stock as of 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on June 24, 2019 (the “record date”) are receiving transferable subscription rights (the “rights”) to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. An aggregate of up to 57,915,055 shares of common stock are being offered by the Prospectus. Each Record Holder will receive one right for every share of common stock owned of record as of the record date.
The rights will expire, if not exercised, by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on July 12, 2019 (the “expiration date”), unless extended by the Company. After the expiration date, unexercised rights will be null and void. The Company will not be obligated to honor any purported exercise of rights received by Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (the “subscription agent”) after 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the expiration date, regardless of when the documents relating to such exercise were sent. If the Company’s board of directors extends the rights offering, the Company will issue a press release notifying stockholders of the extension of the expiration date as promptly as practical, but in no event later than 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the next business day following the most recently announced expiration date. The rights are evidenced by subscription rights certificates (the “subscription rights certificates”).
Each right allows the holder thereof to subscribe for 0.688285 shares of common stock (the “basic subscription right”) at the subscription price of $12.95 per whole share of common stock (the “subscription price”). Fractional rights will not be issued. Fractional rights will be rounded down to the nearest whole number, with such adjustments as may be necessary to ensure that the Company offers 57,915,055 shares of common stock in the rights offering. As an example, if you owned 1,000 shares of common stock as of the record date, you would receive 1,000 rights pursuant to your basic subscription right, and you would have the right to purchase 688 shares of common stock in the rights offering pursuant to your basic subscription right.
In addition, rights holders who fully exercise their basic subscription right will be entitled to subscribe for additional shares of common stock that remain unsubscribed as a result of any unexercised basic subscription rights (the “over-subscription right”). The over-subscription right allows a rights holder to subscribe for additional shares of common stock at the subscription price per share on a pro rata basis if any shares are not purchased by other holders of subscription rights under their basic subscription rights as of the expiration date. “Pro rata” means in proportion to the number of shares of common stock that you and the other rights holders have subscribed for under the over-subscription right.
You may exercise your over-subscription right only if you have exercised your basic subscription right in full and other holders of rights do not exercise their basic subscription rights in full. If there are not enough shares of common stock to satisfy all subscriptions made under the over-subscription right, the Company will allocate the remaining shares of common stock pro rata, after eliminating all fractional shares, among those over-subscribing rights holders. For purposes of determining if you have fully exercised your basic subscription right, the Company will consider only the basic subscription right held by you in the same capacity. See “The Rights Offering—Basic Subscription Rights and Over-Subscription Rights” in the Prospectus.
The number of rights to which you are entitled is printed on the face of your subscription rights certificate. You should indicate your wishes with regard to the exercise of your rights by completing the appropriate portions of your




subscription rights certificate and returning the certificate to the subscription agent pursuant to the procedures described in the Prospectus.
The Company will not issue shares of common stock to you pursuant to the rights offering if doing so would cause you (or you and other holders acting as a group) to beneficially own more than 49% of common stock (the “ownership limitation”). If you acquire additional rights the exercise of which would cause you to trigger the ownership limitation, the Company reserves the right to reject your exercise of those rights in full or the Company may accept your exercise of those rights only to the extent that the exercise will not trigger the ownership limitation. Such determinations will be made in the Company’s sole and absolute discretion.
YOUR SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS CERTIFICATE AND SUBSCRIPTION PRICE PAYMENT, BY PERSONAL CHECK DRAWN UPON A UNITED STATES BANK, MUST BE ACTUALLY RECEIVED BY THE SUBSCRIPTION AGENT ON OR BEFORE 5:00 P.M. EASTERN TIME, ON THE EXPIRATION DATE. ONCE A HOLDER OF RIGHTS HAS EXERCISED THE BASIC SUBSCRIPTION RIGHT AND THE OVER-SUBSCRIPTION RIGHT, SUCH EXERCISE MAY NOT BE REVOKED. RIGHTS NOT EXERCISED PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION DATE OF THE RIGHTS OFFERING WILL EXPIRE WITHOUT VALUE.
 
1.
Method of Subscription—Exercise of Rights.
To exercise rights, complete your subscription rights certificate and send the properly completed and executed subscription rights certificate evidencing such rights, with any signatures required to be guaranteed so guaranteed, together with payment in full of the subscription price for each share of common stock subscribed for pursuant to the basic subscription right and the over-subscription right, to the subscription agent so that it will be actually received by the subscription agent on or prior to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the expiration date. The subscription agent will hold your payment of the subscription price in a segregated account with other payments received from other rights holders until the Company issues your shares of common stock upon completion of the rights offering, and after all pro rata allocations and adjustments have been completed and upon payment of the subscription price for such shares. All payment of the subscription price must be made in United States dollars for the full number of shares of common stock for which you are subscribing by personal check drawn upon a United States bank payable to Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as subscription agent. Please reference your subscription rights certificate number on your check. Payments will be deemed to have been received by the subscription agent only upon receipt by the subscription agent of a personal check drawn upon a United States bank.
The subscription rights certificate and payment of the subscription price must be delivered to the subscription agent by one of the methods described below:

When making arrangements with your bank or broker for the delivery of funds on your behalf, you may also request such bank or broker to exercise the subscription rights certificate on your behalf.
Banks, brokers, and other nominee holders of rights who exercise the basic subscription right and the over-subscription right on behalf of beneficial owners of rights will be required to certify to the subscription agent and the Company, in connection with the exercise of the over-subscription right, as to the aggregate number of rights that have been exercised and the number of shares of common stock that are being subscribed for pursuant to the over-subscription right, by each beneficial owner of rights (including such nominee itself) on whose behalf such nominee holder is acting. If there are not enough shares of common stock to satisfy all subscriptions made under the over-subscription right, the Company will allocate the remaining shares of common stock pro rata, after eliminating all fractional shares, among those over-subscribing rights holders. “Pro rata” means in proportion to the number of shares of common stock that you and the other rights holders have subscribed for under the over-subscription right.
If the aggregate subscription price paid by you is insufficient to purchase the number of shares of common stock subscribed for, or if no number of shares of common stock to be purchased is specified, then you will be deemed to have exercised your rights under the basic subscription right to purchase shares of common stock to the full extent of the payment tendered.
If the aggregate subscription price paid by you exceeds the amount necessary to purchase the number of shares of common stock for which you have indicated an intention to subscribe, then the remaining amount will be returned to you by mail, without interest or deduction, promptly after the expiration date and after all pro rata allocations and adjustments contemplated by the terms of the rights offering have been effected.

b.
Execution by Person Other than Registered Holder. If the subscription rights certificate is executed by a person other than the holder named on the face of the rights certificate, proper evidence of authority of the person executing the subscription rights certificate must accompany the same unless, for good cause, the subscription agent dispenses with proof of authority.
c.
Signature Guarantees.

8.
Determinations Regarding the Exercise of Your Rights.
The Company will decide, in its sole discretion, all questions concerning the timeliness, validity, form, and eligibility of the exercise of your rights. Any such determinations by the Company will be final and binding. The Company, in its sole discretion, may waive, in any particular instance, any defect or irregularity or permit, in any particular instance, a defect or irregularity to be corrected within such time as the Company may determine. The Company will not be required to make uniform determinations in all cases. The Company may reject the exercise of any of your rights because of any defect or irregularity. The Company will not accept any exercise of rights until all irregularities have been waived by the Company or cured by you within such time as the Company decides, in its sole discretion.
Neither the Company, the subscription agent, nor the information agent will be under any duty to notify you of any defect or irregularity in connection with your submission of subscription rights certificates, and the Company will not be liable for failure to notify you of any defect or irregularity. The Company reserves the right to reject your exercise of rights if it determines that your exercise is not in accordance with the terms of the rights offering, as set forth in the Prospectus and these Instructions, or in proper form. The Company will also not accept the exercise of your rights if the issuance of shares of common stock to you could be deemed unlawful under applicable law.
