Goldman Sachs is said to be the sole underwriter in the registered public offering. The firm proposed to offer these common shares for sale from time to time in one or more transactions. These transactions may take place on the New York Stock Exchange, in the over-the-counter market, through negotiated transactions or otherwise at market prices prevailing at the time of sale. These can be at the market sales or can be at negotiated prices, subject to receipt and acceptance by it and subject to its right to reject any order in whole or in part.
The closing bell price prior to this share sale was $24.96 per share, and shares are down only 1.1% at $24.68. Hertz has seen a 52-week trading range of $10.22 to $25.00. This stake appears to be worth close to 12.3% of the entire share count, and the company’s market cap is roughly $9.9 billion.
Hertz investors are probably thanking their luck stars that the drop in Hertz stock was not worse.
On a separate note, Hertz Corporation has announced that the company will relocate its global headquarters to Estero, Fla. (near Bonita Springs and Fort Myers) from Park Ridge, N.J. Hertz said that it made this relocation decision following its recent acquisition of the Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group.
The company said:
Starting this year, up to 700 jobs will be relocated to Florida over a two-year period. More than 2,000 Hertz and Dollar Thrifty personnel will remain in New Jersey, including approximately 150 employees who currently work in Park Ridge. All other Park Ridge employees will be able to retain their current positions at the new headquarters, scheduled to be completed in early 2015. Hertz was founded in Chicago, Illinois in 1918, and moved its headquarters to New Jersey from mid-town Manhattan in 1988.
