Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. (HTZ) received an updated Schedule 13D/A (Amendment No. 11) from a group including CK Amarillo and affiliated entities. The group reports beneficial ownership of 181,455,469 shares of Hertz common stock, representing 50.9% of the class, based on 356,451,393 shares outstanding as of July 30, 2026.

Hertz and CK Amarillo entered into an amended and restated voting agreement dated August 20, 2026. CK Amarillo agreed that any “Excess Voting Securities” it beneficially owns above 45% of the company’s total voting power will be voted in the same proportion as votes cast by other stockholders, excluding CK Amarillo and its affiliates and disregarding non-votes and broker non-votes. Voting power up to 45% may be exercised at CK Amarillo’s discretion.

The agreement also adds a sale-of-control provision: if CK Amarillo sells 50% or more of Hertz’s outstanding common shares to a third-party at a price above the defined “Market Price,” it must pay other common stockholders an amount based on the premium over Market Price and the percentage of shares sold. The agreement terminates when CK Amarillo and its affiliates collectively own less than 45% of the voting securities and, in addition, when Hertz either completes or terminates its stock repurchase programs authorized in 2021 and 2022.

A&R Voting Agreement regulatory
"entered into an amended and restated voting agreement (the "A&R Voting Agreement")"
Excess Voting Securities financial
"exceed 45% of the total voting power of all of the outstanding Voting Securities (the "Excess Voting Securities")"
Market Price financial
"if the sale price is above the Market Price (as defined in the A&R Voting Agreement)"
Market price is the current amount buyers are willing to pay and sellers are willing to accept for a share or other security at a given moment, like the tag on an item in a busy shop that changes with demand. It matters to investors because it determines what you would receive when selling or what you must pay to buy now, reflecting supply, demand and recent news that affect perceived value.
broker non-vote regulatory
"without taking into consideration any Voting Securities that are not voted or with respect to which a "broker non-vote" is exercised"
A broker non-vote happens when a brokerage firm holds shares in street name for a client but does not cast a ballot on a particular shareholder item because the broker lacks discretionary authority to vote that matter. Think of it like a person who owns a ticket but the ticket-holder refuses to vote on some issues; the share counts for ownership but not for that vote, which can affect whether proposals reach the required number of votes or a quorum.
Repurchase Programs financial
"stock repurchase programs authorized by the Company's board of directors in 2021 and 2022 (the "Repurchase Programs")"
