Pay Versus Performance

In accordance with Section 953(a) of the Dodd-Frank Act and Item 402(v) of SEC Regulation S-K, we are required to disclose the relationship between executive compensation actually paid (“CAP”) by us and our financial performance over the applicable time period of the disclosure.

In accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, CAP is calculated first by subtracting the amounts shown in the Stock Awards column of the Summary Compensation Total for each applicable year. (For 2024, the Stock Award amount was $5,350,082. For prior years, the amount is set forth in the Summary Compensation Table shown elsewhere in this proxy or in the proxy statement for the applicable year.)

In addition, for 2020, $81,463 of pension earnings in the Summary Compensation Total have been removed when calculating CAP, and no additional pension values have been included for any years as there are no service costs because the Avis Rent A Car System, LLC Pension Plan was frozen as of December 31, 1998.

(e)	The non-PEO NEOs for 2024 are Ms. Martins and Messrs. Choi, Simhambhatla and Linnen; for 2023 and 2022 are Messrs. Choi, Hees and Simhambhatla and Ms. Martins; for 2021 are Messrs. Choi, Hees, Sita, and Rankin; and for 2020 are Messrs. Choi, Hees, Rankin, North and Tucker and Ms. Martins.

(f)	Values reflect the average total compensation as shown in the Summary Compensation Table for the non-PEO NEOs for each year shown.

(g)

In accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, CAP is calculated first by subtracting the average of the amounts shown in the Stock Awards column of the Summary Compensation Total for each applicable year. (For 2024, the individual Stock Award amounts were $1,725,002, $2,000,060, $900,050 and $650,098, respectively. For prior years, the amount is set forth in the Summary Compensation Table shown elsewhere in this proxy or in the proxy statement for the applicable year.)

Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) is determined based on the value of an initial fixed investment of $100 on December 31, 2019. The peer group TSR reflects the Dow Jones US Transportation Average Index, which we also use in the stock performance graph required by Item 201(e) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act and included in our 2024 Form 10-K.

(i)

The Company-selected measure is Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial metric. We define Adjusted EBITDA as income (loss) from continuing operations before non-vehicle related depreciation and amortization; long-lived asset impairment and other related charges; restructuring and other related charges; early extinguishment of debt costs; non-vehicle related interest; transaction-related costs, net; legal matters, net, which includes amounts recorded in excess of $5 million, related primarily to unprecedented self-insurance reserves for allocated loss adjustment expense, class action lawsuits and personal injury matters; non-operational charges related to shareholder activist activity, which includes third-party advisory, legal and other professional fees; COVID-19 charges, net; cloud computing costs; other (income) expense, net; severe weather-related damages in excess of $5 million, net of insurance proceeds; and income taxes. This non-GAAP measure is a performance metric in our incentive programs, as described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section above.

Compensation Actually Paid vs. Total Shareholder Return

For the period shown in the table above, the amount of CAP is aligned with the Company’s TSR. For this same period, our TSR has exceeded that of the peer group TSR presented in the table. The alignment of CAP with the Company’s TSR (and its relative TSR to the peer group) over the period presented is because a significant portion of the CAP is in the form of equity awards the value of which varies year to year for purposes of this table depending on the stock price (including for unvested awards). For example, given the significant change in the Company’s 2020 TSR of $115.69 compared to the Company’s 2021 TSR of $643.21, the amount of 2021 CAP significantly exceeds 2020. Since the Company’s 2022 TSR of $508.47 was lower than the Company’s 2021 TSR of $643.21, the amount of 2022 CAP declined, and since the Company’s 2023 TSR of $578.37 was higher than the Company’s 2022 TSR of $508.47, the amount of 2023 CAP increased. The Company’s 2024 TSR of $263.01 was lower than the Company’s 2023 TSR of $578.37, and the amount of 2024 CAP declined.

Compensation Actually Paid vs. Net Income

While the Company does not use net income as a performance measure in its executive compensation program, the measure of net income is correlated with the measure of Adjusted EBITDA, which is a performance goal under both the annual and long-term incentive compensation programs. As shown in the table above, the amount of CAP does not necessarily align with the Company’s net income and Adjusted EBITDA over the five years presented in the table, primarily as a result of the impact of stock price on the calculation of CAP (including for awards that remain unvested and unearned) as described above.

Compensation Actually Paid vs. Company Selected Measure

While the Company does not use net income as a performance measure in its executive compensation program, the measure of net income is correlated with the measure of Adjusted EBITDA, which is a performance goal under both the annual and long-term incentive compensation programs. As shown in the table above, the amount of CAP does not necessarily align with the Company’s net income and Adjusted EBITDA over the five years presented in the table, primarily as a result of the impact of stock price on the calculation of CAP (including for awards that remain unvested and unearned) as described above.

Total Shareholder Return Vs Peer Group

For the period shown in the table above, the amount of CAP is aligned with the Company’s TSR. For this same period, our TSR has exceeded that of the peer group TSR presented in the table. The alignment of CAP with the Company’s TSR (and its relative TSR to the peer group) over the period presented is because a significant portion of the CAP is in the form of equity awards the value of which varies year to year for purposes of this table depending on the stock price (including for unvested awards). For example, given the significant change in the Company’s 2020 TSR of $115.69 compared to the Company’s 2021 TSR of $643.21, the amount of 2021 CAP significantly exceeds 2020. Since the Company’s 2022 TSR of $508.47 was lower than the Company’s 2021 TSR of $643.21, the amount of 2022 CAP declined, and since the Company’s 2023 TSR of $578.37 was higher than the Company’s 2022 TSR of $508.47, the amount of 2023 CAP increased. The Company’s 2024 TSR of $263.01 was lower than the Company’s 2023 TSR of $578.37, and the amount of 2024 CAP declined.
