On August 21, 2015, Debra J. Kelly-Ennis notified the Boards of Directors of Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. (“Hertz Holdings”) and The Hertz Corporation (together with Hertz Holdings, the “Companies”) that she does not intend to stand for re-election at Hertz Holdings’ 2015 annual meeting of stockholders.  Her experience in the automotive industry and managing international operations as well as her extensive board experience have been valuable to the Companies.  She is a talented business leader and board member and the Boards of Directors of the Companies truly wish to thank her for her service.

 

The Boards of Directors of the Companies have nominated Henry R. Keizer to serve as a director to replace Ms. Kelly-Ennis when she steps down at the end of her current term in October.

 

Mr. Keizer formerly served as Deputy Chairman and Chief Operating Officer of KPMG, the U.S.-based and largest individual member firm of KPMG International (“KPMGI”), a role from which he retired in December 2012. KPMGI is a professional services organization which provides audit, tax and advisory services in 152 countries. Prior to serving as Deputy Chairman and Chief Operating Officer of KPMG, Mr. Keizer held a number of key leadership positions throughout his 35 years at KPMGI, including Global Head of Audit, KPMGI from 2006 to 2010 and U.S. Vice Chairman of Audit, KPMG from 2005 to 2010.

 

Mr. Keizer is also a director of MUFG Americas Holdings Corporation, a financial and bank holding company with assets of $115 billion, of WABCO, a $3 billion global innovator and manufacturer of technologies that improve the safety and efficiency of commercial vehicles, and of Park Indemnity Limited, a Bermuda captive insurer affiliated with KPMGI. He previously served as a director of Montpelier Re Holdings, Ltd., a global property and casualty reinsurance company until it merged with Endurance in mid-2015 and on the Board of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
