The Schedule TO relates to the offer by Purchaser to purchase any and all outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Shares" or the "Class A Common Stock"), of The Hertz Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Hertz"), at $35.50 per Share, net to the seller in cash, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated February 2, 2001 (the "Offer to Purchase"), and in the related Letter of Transmittal, copies of which are attached to the Schedule TO as Exhibits (a)(1) and (a)(2), respectively (which, together with any amendments or supplements thereto, collectively constitute the "Offer"). Capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule TO.

        "The Offer expired, as scheduled, at midnight, New York City time, on Friday, March 2, 2001. A total of approximately 19,354,957 Shares were validly tendered pursuant to the Offer and not withdrawn, and were accepted for payment on March 5, 2001. After giving effect to the acquisition of the Shares tendered in the Offer, and prior to the Merger, the Purchaser and its affiliates own approximately 97.6% of the Shares outstanding.

         Following completion of the Offer, FSG II was merged with and into Hertz, resulting in Hertz becoming an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Ford. As a result of the Merger, which became effective at 11:15 a.m., New York City time, on Friday, March 9, 2001, each publicly held Share was converted into the right to receive $35.50 in cash, subject to the exercise of dissenters' rights under Delaware law. The Hertz Class A Common Stock will cease to be traded on the New York Stock Exchange beginning March 12, 2001. A copy of the press release, dated March 9, 2001, issued by Ford announcing the completion of the Merger is attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(24) and is incorporated herein by reference."
