On January 13, 2025, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “H&E Merger Agreement”) that provides for our acquisition of H&E Equipment Services, Inc. d/b/a H&E Rentals (“H&E”). Pursuant to the H&E Merger Agreement, we expect to acquire H&E for $92 per share in cash, reflecting a total enterprise value of approximately $4.8 billion, including approximately $1.4 billion of net debt. H&E provides its customers with a comprehensive mix of high-quality general rental fleet including aerial work platforms, earthmoving equipment, material handling equipment, and other general and specialty lines of equipment.
The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including a minimum tender of at least one share more than 50 percent of then-outstanding H&E common shares and the expiration of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976. We commenced a tender offer on January 28, 2025 to acquire all of the outstanding shares of H&E common stock for $92 per share in cash. Following completion of the tender offer, we intend to acquire all remaining shares not tendered in the offer through a second-step merger at the same price as in the tender offer. The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2025.
