In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub completed a tender offer in which it purchased a majority of the shares of Dollar Thrifty common stock then outstanding at a price equal to </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;">$87.50</font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"> per share in cash. Merger Sub subsequently acquired the remaining shares of Dollar Thrifty common stock by means of a short-form merger in which such shares were converted into the right to receive the same </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;">$87.50</font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"> per share in cash paid in the tender offer. The total purchase price was approximately </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;">$2,592.0 million</font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">, which comprised of </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;">$2,551.0 million</font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"> of cash, including our use of approximately </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;">$404.0 million</font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"> of cash and cash equivalents available from Dollar Thrifty</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">,</font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"> and the fair value of our previously held equity interest in Dollar Thrifty of </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;">$41.0 million</font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;"> </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">As a condition of the Merger Agreement, and pursuant to a divestiture agreement reached with the Federal Trade Commission, or "FTC," Hertz divested its Simply Wheelz subsidiary, which owned and operated the Advantage brand, and secured for the buyer of Advantage certain Dollar Thrifty on-airport car rental concessions. Dollar Thrifty is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hertz.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">The purchase price of Dollar Thrifty was funded with (i) cash proceeds of </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;">$1,950.0 million</font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"> received by Hertz from its issuance of </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;">$1,950.0 million</font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"> in aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes and Term Loans, (ii) approximately </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;">$404.0 million</font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"> of acquired cash and cash equivalents from Dollar Thrifty, and (iii) the balance funded by Hertz</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">'</font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">s existing cash.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:8px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">The purchase price was allocated to the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the closing date of November 19, 2012. For the preliminary purchase price allocation refer to Note 4 of the Notes to our audited annual consolidated financial statements included in our Form 10-K under the caption "Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data."</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Adjustments to the preliminary purchase price allocation have been made to reflect revised estimates of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at November 19, 2012. The revisions primarily related to valuation of certain contracts and accrued liabilities, and the resulting changes to goodwill. Providing for these adjustments in previous periods would not have a material impact on the reported operating results for the three month period ended December 31, 2012 and therefore such amounts have been recorded in the quarter ended March 31, 2013.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:8px;padding-top:8px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font
