ESTERO, Fla., March 24, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: HTZ) ("Hertz" or the "Company") today announced that on March 18, 2015 it received a notice from the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") notifying the Company of its failure to meet a NYSE listing standard resulting from the Company's failure to timely file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 (the "2014 Form 10-K"), as provided by Rule 802.01E of the NYSE Listed Company Manual.

As previously disclosed, the Company was unable to timely file its 2014 Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") because of the ongoing nature of the Company's previously announced thorough review and investigation of its internal financial records for fiscal years 2011, 2012 and 2013. As a result of the ongoing nature of this review and its potential impact on the Company's 2014 financial results, the Company was unable to file the 2014 Form 10-K by the extended due date of March 17, 2015. The financial review and investigation by the Company is ongoing. Hertz continues to expect that it will not be able to file updated financial statements, including the 2014 Form 10-K, before mid-2015, and there can be no assurance that the process will be completed by that time.

The Company has until September 17, 2015 to cure the filing delinquency associated with its failure to file the 2014 Form 10-K. The NYSE may, in its discretion, extend the initial cure period for up to six months after September 17, 2015. Subject to the NYSE's ongoing oversight and review, the Company can regain compliance during the cure period by filing its 2014 Form 10-K and subsequent Form 10-Qs (the "SEC Filings") with the SEC. If the Company fails to file its SEC Filings by the expiration of any applicable cure period, the NYSE may commence proceedings to delist the Company's common stock. The Company believes that it will continue to be listed on the NYSE, but there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to file the SEC Filings within the initial cure period or any extended cure period. In addition, the NYSE maintains the ability to commence delisting procedures at any time during the cure period, but as of today we do not believe the NYSE will do so.
