据熟悉此事的人士透露，赫兹全球控股公司（Hertz Global Holdings Inc.）的债权人正以至少两个群体的形式进行协调，为可能与这家汽车租赁公司就其未来几年到期的数十亿美元债务展开谈判做准备。
By Reshmi Basu, Irene García Pérez and Soma Biswas Creditors to Hertz Global Holdings Inc. are organizing across at least two groups, bracing for potential negotiations with the car rental company over its billions of dollars of debt that comes due over the next few years, according to people familiar with the matter.
一些不愿透露姓名的人士表示，由于相关信息属于机密，他们无法公开身份。其中，一个由有担保债权人组成的财团正与 Evercore Inc. 和 Gibson Dunn & Crutcher 合作。另有消息人士称，总部位于加拿大的 Canso Investment Councel Ltd. 也参与了一个团队，该团队已聘请 Houlihan Lokey Inc. 和 Ropes & Gray。
A consortium of secured lenders is working with Evercore Inc. and Gibson Dunn & Crutcher, said some of the people, who asked not to be named because the information is private. Meanwhile, Canadian-based Canso Investment Councel Ltd., which holds secured and unsecured debt, is part of a group that has retained Houlihan Lokey Inc. and Ropes & Gray, other people said.
据彭博社此前报道，这家于 2020 年申请破产的公司正与 PJT Partners 合作，以延长其债务的到期时间。赫兹约有 60 亿美元的非车辆相关债务，其中许多证券的交易价格已处于严重困境水平；此外还有 127 亿美元的车辆相关债务。2028 年将有约 27 亿美元贷款到期，随后两年内还将有更大规模的债务到期。
The company, which filed for bankruptcy in 2020, is working with PJT Partners to extend the maturities of its obligations, Bloomberg previously reported. Hertz has about $6 billion of non-vehicle debt, with many securities trading at deeply distressed levels, and another $12.7 billion in vehicle debt. It has about $2.7 billion in loans due in 2028, then more in the following two years.
赫兹和 PJT 的代表拒绝发表评论。向 Canso、Evercore、Gibson、Houlihan 和 Ropes 发送的消息尚未得到及时回应。
Representatives for Hertz and PJT declined to comment. Messages left with Canso, Evercore, Gibson, Houlihan and Ropes were not immediately returned.
赫兹在 8 月份公布了超出预期的第二季度业绩，营收达到 24 亿美元，同比增长 10%。截至季度末，赫兹拥有 9.84 亿美元的流动性资金，其中包括现金及现金等价物，以及其循环信贷额度下的可用额度。
Hertz in August reported better-than-expected earnings for the second quarter, disclosing $2.4 billion of revenue, up 10% from a year earlier. Hertz ended the quarter with $984 million of liquidity, which includes cash and cash equivalents and the available capacity under its revolving credit facility.
然而，该公司仍面临汽车租赁行业的不利环境，包括二手车市场疲软、汽油价格上涨以及通货膨胀对美国人可支配收入的挤压。
Still, the company is contending with challenging conditions for the rental-car business, namely softness in the used-vehicle market, higher gasoline prices and inflation that’s squeezing Americans’ disposable income.
截至周三下午14:30，赫兹的股价在纽约交易时达到2.19美元，上涨6%。8月份，该股曾触及1.45美元，这是该公司在新冠疫情初期申请破产保护后于2021年重新上市以来的最低水平。
Hertz’s shares traded at $2.19 as of 14:30 p.m. Wednesday in New York, rising 6%. In August, the stock touched $1.45, the lowest since it was relisted in 2021 after the company emerged from the bankruptcy it filed at the onset of the Covid pandemic.
根据彭博社汇总的数据，该公司将于2028年6月到期的12亿美元定期贷款报价约为每美元59.625美分。
The company’s $1.2 billion term loan due in June 2028 is quoted at around 59.625 cents on the dollar, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
