Abstract
Hertz filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in response to ABS obligations and the COVID-19 pandemic. Enthusiastic Robinhood investors and shrewd negotiating tactics helped Hertz stabilize. Roughly nine months into the bankruptcy, Hertz received several bids to reorganize the company. Now, key Hertz advisors William Derrough and Tom Lauria must decide (i) whether the valuations implied by these bids are high enough, (ii) how they can negotiate higher valuations, and (iii) when to exit bankruptcy.
