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.
赫兹全球控股公司(Hertz Global Holdings Inc.)说，一些股东正在出售3,710万股普通股，这家租车公司正寻求在一家主要证券交易所重新开始交易。
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.
该公司周三在一份监管申报文件中表示，这些股票将以每股25美元至29美元的价格出售，收益将流向出售股票的股东，而不是赫兹。
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.
拟议中的股票出售对于帮助赫兹在6月份退出破产法第11章的投资集团来说是一笔巨大的意外之财，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.
在场外交易的赫兹股票周三下午下跌10%，至31.60美元。从8月份到周二收盘，该公司股价上涨了一倍多。
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.
这家汽车租赁公司的股票自去年该公司破产后退市以来一直在场外交易。赫兹周三表示，已申请在纳斯达克上市，股票代码为HTZ。
A Hertz representative wasn't immediately available for comment.
记者无法立即联系到赫兹的代表置评。
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.
赫兹的股价在上周宣布收购10万辆特斯拉后大幅上涨。特斯拉公司(Tesla Inc.)首席执行长马斯克(Elon Musk)周一晚些时候在Twitter上表示，与赫兹的合同尚未签署，他对这笔交易表示怀疑。
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.
这家汽车租赁公司周二坚持其声明，并表示特斯拉的交付已经开始，但一位发言人拒绝透露两家公司之间是否有合同。
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.
在周三提交的文件中，赫兹说，假设承销商的选择权得到充分行使，奈特黑德和Certares在此次发行后将拥有该公司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.
这两家公司在破产法第11章破产期间将自己标榜为赫兹的长期投资者，当时两组相互竞争的投资者在拍卖过程中争先恐后地拥有这家汽车租赁公司。
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.
赫兹表示，打算从承销商手中购买2.5亿至5亿美元的普通股。该公司还表示，打算在今年年底前提出收购该公司15亿美元未偿还优先股的要约，这些优先股由阿波罗提供。
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.
根据提交给美国证券交易委员会(Securities And Exchange Commission)的文件，高盛、摩根大通证券(J.P.Morgan Securities)和摩根士丹利将担任此次拟议发行的牵头簿记管理人。
