This Amendment No. 13 to the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (this “Amendment”) is filed by Hertz Global Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Hertz”), and HDTMS, Inc., a Delaware corporation and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Hertz (“Offeror”).  This Amendment amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 10, 2012 (together with any amendments and supplements thereto, the “Schedule TO”), and relates to the offer by Offeror to purchase each of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation, for $87.50 in cash, without interest and less any required withholding taxes, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated September 10, 2012 (the “Offer to Purchase”) and the related Letter of Transmittal, copies of which are respectively set forth as Exhibits (a)(1)(A) and (a)(1)(B) hereto.

 

Capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Offer to Purchase.

 

Items 11.  Additional Information.

Item 11 of the Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

On November 15, 2012, Hertz announced that it has reached an agreement with the FTC allowing Hertz to complete its acquisition of Dollar Thrifty.  Under the terms of the proposed consent order that was approved by the FTC for public comment, Hertz is required to divest its Advantage business, selected airport concessions and certain other assets following the closing of the acquisition.

 

As previously announced, Hertz has reached an agreement to sell certain assets, to Adreca Holdings Corp. (“Adreca”), a subsidiary of Macquarie Capital which is operated by Franchise Services of North America Inc., an experienced operator of car rental brands, including U-Save Car & Truck Rental®, Rent-a-Wreck of Canada, Practicar and Xpress Rent A Car. Hertz has also agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that Adreca at 13 locations and either Adreca or another third party at an additional 13 locations, has the right to an on-airport operation. Hertz hopes to be able to continue operating both the Dollar and Thrifty brands on airport at a number of these airports.

The press release announcing FTC clearance for the acquisition of Dollar Thrifty is attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(5)(S) and is incorporated herein by reference.
