Hertz Acquires Advantage Rent  A Car

Livingstone Partners, announced that Hertz Global Holdings Inc. (“Hertz”) has closed on its acquisition of Advantage Rent A Car (“Advantage”), after the rental car company's bid won out over another offer for Advantage in the bankruptcy auction managed by Livingstone. Livingstone was appointed by the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors.

Advantage is the largest independent rental car agent in the United States. Advantage, suffering along with the rest of the sector from the weak economy and tight credit, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in December.

As a result of a successful marketing process, the unsecured creditors will recover more than double the amount available under the original stalking horse bid.

K&L Gates LLP Senior Partner, and lead counsel to the Committee, Harley Goldstein, commented: “The Livingstone team provided immediate value to the §363 sales process and drove a competitive environment that resulted in a significantly better outcome for the creditors.”
