Apollo Global Management Inc. is among investors set for a $375 million payout after Hertz Global Holdings Inc. sold a junk bond on Wednesday to repay preferred equity provided by the private equity firm as the car rental company emerged from bankruptcy earlier this year.
Hertz sold a $1.5 billion high-yield bond and will use proceeds from the deal to “repurchase all or a portion of the outstanding shares of Hertz’s Series A preferred stock” with as much as $250 million of any remaining proceeds marked for general corporate purposes, the company said in a statement Wednesday.
