United Rentals Announces Proposed Private Offering

 

of $1.5 Billion of Senior Notes due 2033

 

STAMFORD, Conn. – November 24, 2025 – United Rentals, Inc. (NYSE: URI) (“URI”) today announced that its subsidiary, United Rentals (North America), Inc. (“URNA”), is offering $1.5 billion principal amount of Senior Notes due 2033 (the “Notes”) in a private offering.

 

URNA’s obligations under the Notes will be guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by URI and certain of URNA’s domestic subsidiaries.

 

Aggregate net proceeds from the sale of the Notes are expected to be approximately $1.486 billion after initial purchasers’ discounts and commissions and payments of estimated fees and expenses. URNA expects to use the net proceeds from its offering of the Notes to redeem URNA’s outstanding $500 million 5½% Senior Notes due 2027 and for general corporate purposes, including to reduce borrowings under URNA’s senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility.

 

URNA is offering the Notes (and the related guarantees) pursuant to an exemption under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The initial purchasers of the Notes will offer the Notes only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act or outside the United States to certain persons in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or under any state securities laws. Therefore, the Notes may not be offered or sold within the United States to, or for the account or benefit of, any United States person unless the offer or sale would qualify for a registration exemption from the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.

 

This news release is not intended to be a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of any of the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. No assurance can be made that the offering of Notes will be consummated on its proposed terms or at all. This news release does not constitute a notice of redemption with respect to the 5½% Senior Notes due 2027 or any of URI’s other debt securities.
