Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements
This communication includes “forward-looking statements,” within
the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act, as
amended, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Forward-looking statements include statements related to the
Company, H&E and the proposed acquisition of H&E by the
Company that involve substantial risks, uncertainties and
assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially
from those expressed or implied by such statements. Forward-looking
statements in this communication include, among other things,
statements about the potential benefits of the proposed
transaction, the Company’s plans, objectives, expectations and
intentions, the financial condition, results of operations and
business of each of the Company and H&E, expected valuation and
re-rating opportunities for the combined company, and the
anticipated timing of closing of the proposed transaction.
Forward-looking statements are generally identified by the words
“estimates,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “projects,” “plans,”
“intends,” “believes,” “forecasts,” “looks,” and future or
conditional verbs, such as “will,” “should,” “could” or “may,” as
well as variations of such words or similar expressions. All
forward-looking statements are based upon our current expectations
and various assumptions and apply only as of the date of this
communication. Our expectations, beliefs and projections are
expressed in good faith and we believe there is a reasonable basis
for them. However, there can be no assurance that our expectations,
beliefs and projections will be achieved or that the completion and
anticipated benefits of the proposed transaction can be guaranteed,
and actual results may differ materially from those projected. You
should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.
There are a number of risks, uncertainties and other important
factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially
from those suggested by our forward-looking statements, including,
but not limited to, (i) the possibility that the sufficient number
of H&E’s shares are not validly tendered into the tender offer
to meet the minimum condition; (ii) the Company’s ability to
implement its plans, forecasts and other expectations with respect
to H&E’s business after the completion of the proposed
transaction and realized expected synergies; (iii) the ability to
realize the anticipated benefits of the proposed transaction,
including the possibility that the expected benefits from the
proposed transaction will not be realized or will not be realized
within the expected time period; (iv) the Company and H&E may
be unable to obtain regulatory approvals required for the proposed
transaction or may be required to accept conditions that could
reduce the anticipated benefits of the proposed transaction as a
condition to obtaining regulatory approvals; (v) the length of time
necessary to consummate the proposed transaction may be longer than
anticipated; (vi) problems may arise in successfully integrating
the businesses of the Company and H&E, including, without
limitation, problems associated with the potential loss of any key
employees, customers, suppliers and other counterparties of
H&E; (vii) the proposed transaction may involve unexpected
costs, including, without limitation, the exposure to any
unrecorded liabilities or unidentified issues during the due
diligence investigation of H&E or that are not covered by
insurance, as well as potential unfavorable accounting treatment
and unexpected increases in taxes; (viii) the Company’s business
may suffer as a result of uncertainty surrounding the proposed
transaction, any adverse effects on our ability to maintain
relationships with customers, employees and suppliers; (ix) the
occurrence of any event, change to other circumstances that could
give rise to the termination of the merger agreement, the failure
of the closing conditions included in the merger agreement to be
satisfied, or any other failure to consummate the proposed
transaction; (x) any negative effects of the announcement of the
proposed transaction of the financing thereof on the market price
of the Company common stock or other securities; (xi) the industry
may be subject to future risks including those set forth in the
“Risk Factors” section in the Annual Reports on Form 10-K,
Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and in the other filings with the
SEC by each of the Company and H&E; (xii) United Rentals, Inc.
may make a superior offer; and (xiii) Herc may not achieve its
valuation or re-rating opportunities. The foregoing list of factors
is not exhaustive. Investors should carefully consider the
foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties that affect
the businesses of the Company and H&E, including those
described in the Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on
Form 10-Q and in the other filings with the SEC by each of the
Company and H&E. All forward-looking statements are expressly
qualified in their entirety by such cautionary statements. We
undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking
