This Amendment No. 9 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 October 18, 2012, Hertz announced that it has agreed to extend the term of its timing agreement with the FTC until 11:59 p.m. on November 16, 2012. As previously announced, Hertz and the FTC staff entered into a timing agreement whereby Hertz would not close the transaction prior to 11:59 p.m. on October 31, 2012 without the prior agreement of the FTC. The FTC has not completed its review of the information provided by Hertz and Dollar Thrifty and has requested an extension of time to review the transaction beyond October 31, 2012. Accordingly, Hertz has agreed to extend the term of the timing agreement and Hertz and Dollar Thrifty will not close the transaction prior to 11:59 p.m. on November 16, 2012 without the prior agreement of the FTC.
Hertz and Dollar Thrifty will continue to assist the FTC in its review of the relevant information and are continuing to work with the FTC to address matters raised by the Commissioners and the staff. There can be no assurance as to what actions the FTC may take in connection with the proposed acquisition. There can also be no assurance as to whether the FTC will consent to any request to close the transaction before November 16, 2012.
The press release announcing the extension of the term of the timing agreement with the FTC is attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(5)(O) and is incorporated herein by reference.
