Herc Holdings Inc. reported the results of its 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, held on May 14, 2026. The filing, made May 20, discloses voting outcomes under Form 8-K Item 5.07 and reflects routine annual-governance actions rather than a securities purchase, sale, option grant, or insider transaction. No transaction codes, share prices, vesting terms, or post-transaction ownership changes were reported. Stockholders elected all eight director nominees to one-year terms expiring at the 2027 Annual Meeting. The elected directors were Patrick D. Campbell, Lawrence H. Silber, Shari L. Burgess, Jean K. Holley, Michael A. Kelly, John A. Olin, Rakesh Sachdev, and Patrick S. Shannon. Vote totals were strongly favorable for most nominees, though several received notable opposition. Patrick D. Campbell received 29,325,556 votes for, 729,258 against and 174,576 abstentions; Lawrence H. Silber received 30,147,773 for, 72,309 against and 9,308 abstentions; Shari L. Burgess received 30,001,688 for, 50,871 against and 176,831 abstentions; Jean K. Holley received 29,417,859 for, 797,124 against and 14,407 abstentions. The remaining elected directors were Michael A. Kelly, with 27,643,070 votes for, 2,577,447 against and 8,873 abstentions; John A. Olin, with 30,185,095 for, 33,735 against and 10,560 abstentions; Rakesh Sachdev, with 26,993,742 for, 3,221,159 against and 14,489 abstentions; and Patrick S. Shannon, with 30,186,072 for, 33,390 against and 9,928 abstentions. The director election proposal reflected 1,806,794 broker non-votes. Investors also approved, on a non-binding advisory basis, the compensation of Herc Holdings’ named executive officers. The “say-on-pay” proposal received 29,517,952 votes for, 695,489 against and 15,949 abstentions, with 1,806,794 broker non-votes implied by the voting totals. The approval indicates broad shareholder support for the company’s executive compensation program. In addition, shareholders ratified the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as Herc Holdings’ independent registered public accounting firm for 2026. That proposal received 31,950,347 votes for, 77,724 against and 8,113 abstentions. The ratification confirms shareholder backing for the board’s selection of PwC as the company’s outside auditor for the year.

About the company
Herc Holdings Inc
Herc Holdings is an equipment rental company that was spun out of Hertz Global in 2016. It is currently the third-largest player in North America, after United Rentals and Sunbelt Rentals, with an approximate 6% market share pro forma for its 2025 acquisition of H&E Equipment Services. It serves a similar mix of companies to its peers (industrial, commercial, and residential construction) from its 450 locations targeting the top 100 metropolitan markets in the US. Herc's rental fleet of approximately $7 billion is also similar in composition to its peer group in terms of equipment offered. The company is also pursuing diversification by bundling and increasing specialty solutions for its customer base. Herc's portfolio skews toward local customers versus national accounts (60%/40%).
