Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) is unable to complete its annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 (the “Annual Report”) within the prescribed period without undue effort and expense to the Company because management required additional time to finalize the Company’s audited financial statements and related disclosures related to  the $1.17 billion non-cash goodwill, other intangible asset and property and equipment impairment charges, and the related tax effects to be included in the Annual Report.

 

As a result of the complex nature of these detailed impairment analyses, the Company required an extra day to finalize its consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.
