ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

Herc Holdings Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) conducts substantially all of its operations through subsidiaries, including Herc Rentals Inc. (“Herc”). On September 17, 2018, Herc and certain of its subsidiaries closed a two-year accounts receivable securitization facility with an initial commitment of $175 million and a maximum limit of up to $250 million (the “Program Limit”).

Herc and Cinelease, Inc., as sellers (together, the “Originators”), entered into a purchase and contribution agreement dated as of September 17, 2018 (the “PCA”) with Herc Receivables U.S. LLC, a wholly-owned special purpose entity (the “Receivables Subsidiary”), as purchaser, and Herc, as collection agent, pursuant to which the Originators agreed to sell and, as applicable, contribute, all of their right, title and interest in and to their current and future trade receivables and certain related rights to the Receivables Subsidiary.

The Receivables Subsidiary, as borrower, also entered into a receivables financing agreement dated as of September 17, 2018 (the “RFA”) with Herc, as the servicer and performance guarantor, the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”), and Credit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank (“CACIB”), as Administrative Agent, pursuant to which the Receivables Subsidiary may (from time to time and subject to the conditions therein) borrow from the Lenders an amount not to exceed the Program Limit, which will be secured by liens on the receivables and other assets of the Receivables Subsidiary. The Receivables Subsidiary paid structuring fees to CACIB and will pay other customary fees to the lender.

Each of the PCA and the RFA contain terms and conditions (including representations, covenants and conditions precedent) customary for transactions of this type. Among other things, covenants limit the ability of the Originators and the Receivables Subsidiary to create certain liens and further limit each of Herc and the Receivables Subsidiary from undertaking certain corporate acts such as a merger, consolidation or the sale of substantially all of its assets, with certain exceptions. Covenants also limit the Receivables Subsidiary’s ability to make certain restricted payments and require the Receivables Subsidiary to maintain at any time a tangible net worth of at least $100,000.

The RFA provides for customary events of default (subject to customary exceptions, thresholds and grace periods) including, without limitation, failure to perform covenants, ineffectiveness of transaction documents, invalidity of security interests or failure to cooperate in the Administrative Agent’s assumption of control of accounts, material inaccuracy of representations or warranties, failure of certain ratios related to the accounts receivables, specified cross default and cross acceleration to other material indebtedness, certain bankruptcy events, certain ERISA events, material judgments, material adverse effect and change in control.

All of the obligations of the Originators and the servicer and certain indemnification obligations of the Receivables Subsidiary under both the PCA and the RFA are guaranteed by Herc pursuant to a performance guaranty in the RFA.

The foregoing descriptions of the accounts receivable facility and the applicable agreements are not complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the PCA and the RFA, which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 to this Form 8-K.

In the ordinary course of business, the Company and its affiliates have engaged, and may in the future engage, certain parties to the RFA or the affiliates of such parties to provide commercial banking, investment banking, and other services for which the Company or its affiliates pay customary fees and commissions. CACIB is a lender under the Company’s asset-based revolving credit facility.
