Tague named president and CEO of Hertz

The search process was overseen by the Board's CEO Search Committee,
which is comprised of five independent directors including two recently
appointed as part of an agreement with Carl C. Icahn, with the assistance of a leading executive search firm.

Mr. Tague is a travel and transportation industry veteran who has
delivered demonstrable results in revenue generation, operational
excellence and corporate transformation. A former President and Chief
Operating Officer of United Airlines, he is credited with innovative
product and pricing programs that drove strong financial performance as
well as improved customer satisfaction. Most recently, he served as
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Cardinal Logistics Holdings, a
leading transportation and logistics provider and private-equity backed
company.

Linda Fayne Levinson, Independent
Non-Executive Chair of the Hertz Board, said, "John is a leader whose
record shows a relentless focus on execution and high performance,
having driven the successful turnaround of other large, complex consumer
facing companies such as United Airlines. The Board was very clear
about what we needed in a new CEO for Hertz. We were looking for a world
class global leader who knows the travel industry and its players, has
an intimate understanding of the revenue optimization equation, drives
operational excellence, has driven turnarounds, is a superb people
leader, and most of all, understands how to create shareholder value. In
John we have found that leader."

Carl C. Icahn, Chairman of Icahn Enterprises L.P., commented, "My team and I, along with Linda Fayne Levinson
and other members of the Hertz Search Committee, spent a significant
amount of time with a number of highly qualified candidates. The
Committee performed an extensive search for the CEO position before the
Committee and the Board unanimously selected John Tague
as the next CEO of Hertz. I have been involved in a number of CEO
searches during the last decade and have been quite impressed by the
knowledge and imagination of a number of these candidates, many of whom
have turned into very successful CEOs. I am happy to say that after
listening to John's ideas concerning Hertz and evaluating what he has
accomplished at United, I believe he ranks at or near the top of the
group. Importantly, Glenn Tilton, the former Chairman and CEO of United Airlines, informed me that John Tague
was a key player in the United Airlines turnaround and as President and
the former COO he would have been Glenn's recommendation to be the next
CEO of United once Glenn retired, had the United / Continental merger
not occurred."

Mr. Tague said, "I am honored to have been selected to lead Hertz to
its full potential at a time of unprecedented opportunity for the
Company and industry. I look forward to partnering with Hertz employees
as we work to earn sustained industry leadership for the benefit of our
shareholders, customers and team."

Ms. Levinson added, "On behalf of the Hertz Board, we thank Brian MacDonald
for his selflessness in stepping into the interim leadership role.
Strategic actions he and the Hertz team have taken over the past months
have enabled a smooth transition and put Hertz on stronger footing to
address our challenges and achieve success."
