Hertz Global Holdings Inc. said some of its stockholders are selling 37.1 million common shares, as the rental-car company seeks to start trading again on a major stock exchange.
赫茲全球控股公司(Hertz Global Holdings Inc.)説，一些股東正在出售3,710萬股普通股，這家租車公司正尋求在一家主要證券交易所重新開始交易。
The shares will be sold between $25 and $29 each and proceeds would go to stockholders selling them, not Hertz, the company said Wednesday in a regulatory filing.
該公司週三在一份監管申報文件中表示，這些股票將以每股25美元至29美元的價格出售，收益將流向出售股票的股東，而不是赫茲。
The proposed sale of stock represents a large windfall to the investor group who helped fund Hertz's exit from chapter 11 in June, including Knighthead Capital Management LLC, Certares Opportunities LLC, and Apollo.
擬議中的股票出售對於幫助赫茲在6月份退出破產法第11章的投資集團來説是一筆巨大的意外之財，其中包括Knighthead Capital Management LLC，Certares Opportunities LLC和Apollo。
Hertz stock, which trades over the counter, fell 10% to $31.60 on Wednesday afternoon. The shares had more than doubled from August through Tuesday's close.
在場外交易的赫茲股票週三下午下跌10%，至31.60美元。從8月份到週二收盤，該公司股價上漲了一倍多。
The rental-car company's stock has traded over the counter since it was delisted last year after the company went bankrupt. Hertz said Wednesday it has applied to list on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol HTZ.
這家汽車租賃公司的股票自去年該公司破產後退市以來一直在場外交易。赫茲週三表示，已申請在納斯達克上市，股票代碼為HTZ。
A Hertz representative wasn't immediately available for comment.
記者無法立即聯繫到赫茲的代表置評。
Hertz's stock price rose sharply after announcing last week a deal to buy 100,000 Teslas. Tesla Inc. Chief Executive Elon Musk cast doubt on the deal when he said late Monday on Twitter that a contract has yet to be signed with Hertz.
赫茲的股價在上週宣佈收購10萬輛特斯拉後大幅上漲。特斯拉公司(Tesla Inc.)首席執行長馬斯克(Elon Musk)週一晚些時候在Twitter上表示，與赫茲的合同尚未簽署，他對這筆交易表示懷疑。
The car-rental company on Tuesday stood by its announcement and said Tesla deliveries have already begun, but a spokeswoman declined to say whether there was a contract between the two companies.
這家汽車租賃公司週二堅持其聲明，並表示特斯拉的交付已經開始，但一位發言人拒絕透露兩家公司之間是否有合同。
In the Wednesday filing, Hertz said Knighthead and Certares will own 37.2% of the company after the offering assuming the underwriters' option is exercised in full.
在週三提交的文件中，赫茲説，假設承銷商的選擇權得到充分行使，奈特黑德和Certares在此次發行後將擁有該公司37.2%的股份。
The two firms billed themselves as long-term investors in Hertz during the chapter 11 bankruptcy, when two competing groups of investors jockeyed to own the rental-car company in an auction process.
這兩家公司在破產法第11章破產期間將自己標榜為赫茲的長期投資者，當時兩組相互競爭的投資者在拍賣過程中爭先恐後地擁有這家汽車租賃公司。
Hertz said it intends to buy between $250 million and $500 million of the common shares from the underwriters. It also said it intends to make an offer to purchase the company's outstanding $1.5 billion preferred stock, provided by Apollo, by the end of this year.
赫茲表示，打算從承銷商手中購買2.5億至5億美元的普通股。該公司還表示，打算在今年年底前提出收購該公司15億美元未償還優先股的要約，這些優先股由阿波羅提供。
Goldman Sachs Group Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities, and Morgan Stanley are acting as lead bookrunning managers for the proposed offering, according to the Securities and Exchange Commission filing.
根據提交給美國證券交易委員會(Securities And Exchange Commission)的文件，高盛、摩根大通證券(J.P.Morgan Securities)和摩根士丹利將擔任此次擬議發行的牽頭簿記管理人。
