Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Avis Budget Rental Car Funding (AESOP) Facilities

 

On April 30, 2025 (the “Closing Date”), Avis Budget Group, Inc.’s (the “Company”, “we” or “our”) Avis Budget Rental Car Funding (AESOP) LLC subsidiary (“ABRCF”) completed an amendment and extension of its asset-backed variable-funding financing facilities, which provide a portion of the financing for our car rental fleet in the United States. This financing is comprised of the Series 2010-6 Notes facility and the Series 2015-3 Notes facility, and the notes are secured primarily by vehicles in our domestic fleet and other related assets. Pursuant to the amendments, excluding the Class R Notes, which are held by one of our subsidiaries, the aggregate amount of the Series 2010-6 Notes facility was increased from approximately $2.436 billion to $3.042 billion, and the aggregate amount of the Series 2015-3 Notes facility was increased from approximately $164 million to $198 million. These increased aggregate amounts will be reduced by $507 million and $33 million, respectively, on November 1, 2025. Each of the Series 2010-6 Notes and the Series 2015-3 Notes is a two-year facility.

 

The foregoing summary of the amendments is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Second Amendment to Sixth Amended and Restated Series 2010-6 Supplement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, and the Second Amendment to Fourth Amended and Restated Series 2015-3 Supplement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2, respectively, and, in each case, which is incorporated by reference herein.

 

Certain purchasers of the notes, the trustee and their respective affiliates have performed, and may in the future perform, various commercial banking, investment banking and other financial advisory services for us and our subsidiaries for which they have received, and will receive, customary fees and expenses.

 

Amendment to Fourth Amended and Restated Cooperation Agreement

 

On May 6, 2025, we entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Fourth Amended and Restated Cooperation Agreement (the “Cooperation Agreement”), dated as of December 23, 2022, among the Company, SRS Investment Management, LLC and certain of its affiliates (together, “SRS”). Pursuant to the Cooperation Agreement, at any meeting of the Company’s stockholders, SRS must exercise the voting rights of any of the voting securities it beneficially owns exceeding 35% of the Company’s outstanding voting securities (the “Excess Shares”) in the same proportion as all other voting securities not owned by SRS. Under the Cooperation Agreement, broker non-votes and abstentions are calculated as votes “against” for purposes of determining how the Excess Shares shall be voted. The Amendment provides that broker non-votes and abstentions shall not impact how the Excess Shares are voted. The Amendment applies to the Company’s 2025 annual meeting of stockholders, but not to future meetings.

 

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

 

The information described above under Item 1.01 of this report with respect to the Second Amendment to the Sixth Amended and Restated Series 2010-6 Supplement and the Second Amendment to Fourth Amended and Restated Series 2015-3 Supplement is incorporated into this Item 2.03 by reference.

WHEREAS, the Company and SRS have previously entered into that certain Fourth Amended and Restated Cooperation Agreement dated as of December 23, 2022 (the “Agreement”), with respect to certain matters relating to the Board of Directors of the Company and certain other matters, as provided therein; and

WHEREAS, the Company and SRS desire to make the amendment to the Agreement as set forth herein.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and SRS wish to amend the Agreement on the terms set forth herein, and agree as follows:

1.Amendment to the Agreement.

(a) Section 4(b) of the Agreement is amended and restated for purposes of the Company’s 2025 annual meeting of stockholders, but for no other purpose, to read as set forth below (with additions shown in bold underscored text and deletions shown in text):

In the event SRS Beneficially Owns (as a result of buybacks or repurchases by or on behalf of the Company, purchases by SRS, or otherwise) the right to exercise voting rights attached to Voting Securities in excess of 35% of the outstanding Voting Securities (the “Excess Voting Rights”), and for so long as SRS continues to (i) have the right to exercise such Excess Voting Rights and (ii) Beneficially Own more than 35% of the outstanding Voting Securities, SRS shall (A) on each and every matter that is submitted to the stockholders of the Company for their vote and with respect to which the Excess Voting Rights may be voted by SRS, exercise such Excess Voting Rights in the same proportion in which all other Voting Securities voted on such matter are voted (without taking into consideration, in determining such proportions, (x) any Voting Securities that are not voted or with respect to which a “non-vote” or abstention is exercised or registered and (y) any Voting Securities that are voted by SRS on such matter), and (B) take reasonable steps to cooperate with the Company in order to exercise such Excess Voting Rights in the manner contemplated by this Section 4(b).

2.Defined Terms. All capitalized terms used in this Amendment but not specifically defined herein shall have the same meanings given such terms in the Agreement.

3.Ratification of Agreement. Except as set forth herein, the Agreement shall remain unmodified and in full force and effect (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that any provision of the Agreement that terminated prior to the date hereof shall remain terminated and not be deemed affected by the execution hereof).

4.Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in two or more counterparts, which together shall constitute a single agreement.

5.Governing Law. This Amendment shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without reference to the conflict of laws principles thereof.
