Business Context and Reporting Period
This Form 8-K, dated June 2, 2016, is filed by Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as Herc Holdings Inc. post-spin-off) regarding the spin-off of its global car rental business into a new entity, Hertz Rental Car Holding Company, Inc. ("New Hertz"). The filing presents pro forma financial statements to illustrate the effects of this transaction on New Hertz's consolidated financial statements.
Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes

For accounting purposes, New Hertz is considered the divesting entity (spinnor) and Herc Holdings is the divested entity (spinnee) due to the relative significance of New Hertz to the former parent company. This transaction separates the car rental operations from the equipment rental operations.
