STAMFORD, Conn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–United Rentals, Inc. (NYSE: URI) (“URI”) today announced that its
subsidiary, United Rentals (North America), Inc. (“URNA”), has priced an
offering of $750 million principal amount of 5.25% Senior Notes due 2030
(the “Notes”) in a registered public offering.

The Notes offered by URNA will rank:

• equally in right of payment with all of URNA’s existing and future
  senior indebtedness,
• effectively junior to any of URNA’s existing and future secured
  indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such
  indebtedness, and
• senior in right of payment to any of URNA’s existing and future
  subordinated indebtedness.

URNA’s obligations under the Notes will be guaranteed on a senior
unsecured basis by URI and certain of URNA’s domestic subsidiaries.

Aggregate net proceeds from the sale of the Notes are expected to be
approximately $741 million after underwriting discounts and commissions
and payments of estimated fees and expenses. URNA intends to use the net
proceeds from its offering of the Notes and additional borrowings of
$133 million under its senior secured asset-based revolving credit
facility to redeem all $850 million principal amount of its 5.75% Senior
Notes due 2024 at a redemption price of 102.875% plus interest accrued
to, but excluding, the date of redemption, and to pay related expenses.
Pending the payment of the redemption price for the 5.75% Senior Notes
due 2024, the net proceeds from the offering of the Notes will be
applied to reduce borrowings under URNA’s senior secured asset-based
revolving credit facility (the “ABL Facility”). URNA expects to then
borrow under the ABL Facility to fund the redemption.

Morgan Stanley, BofA Merrill Lynch, Wells Fargo Securities, Citigroup,
Scotiabank, MUFG, Barclays, Deutsche Bank Securities and J.P. Morgan are
the joint book-running managers for the offering, with Morgan Stanley
serving as the lead book-running manager.

of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of any of the securities
in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be

laws of any such jurisdiction. The securities being offered have not
