Hertz wants to sell up to $1 bln in shares to finance its restructuring. The stock market’s irrational exuberance is letting the car-rental firm test-drive an unusual vehicle, writes AntonyMCurrie.

Hertz Global is seeking the approval of its bankruptcy court judge to sell up to $1 billion in equity, Bloomberg reported on June 11. If given the nod, the company would sell a maximum of 246,775,008 shares. Wall Street firm Jefferies would be the underwriter.

The move comes after shares in the car-rental company had surged some 10-fold by on June 8 from 56 cents apiece the first trading day after it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on May 22. Shares had fallen to $2.06 each on June 11, rising to some $3 each in early trading on June 12.
