Cendant Corporation Announces That Avis Budget Car Rental, LLC Priced $1 Billion Senior Notes Offering

NEW YORK, April 11 -- Cendant Corporation today announced that the parent of its vehicle rental business, Avis Budget Car Rental, LLC, has priced a private offering of $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of its senior notes, which includes $375 million in aggregate principal amount of its 7.625% senior notes due 2014, $375 million in aggregate principal amount of its 7.75% senior notes due 2016, and $250 million in aggregate principal amount of its floating rate senior notes due 2014. Cendant's vehicle rental business intends to use the net proceeds from this offering, together with term borrowings under its previously announced new senior secured credit facility, principally to repay asset-backed vehicle indebtedness. The notes are unsecured and are not guaranteed by Cendant Corporation.

This offering is part of Cendant's previously announced plan to separate Cendant into four independent, pure-play companies -- one each for Cendant's real estate, travel distribution, hospitality and vehicle rental businesses.

Closing of the offering of the notes is scheduled for April 19, 2006 and is subject to customary conditions. The closing of the sale of the notes is not contingent upon the consummation of Cendant's planned separation transactions.

The notes will be offered in the United States to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. The notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements.

This press release is neither an offer to sell nor the solicitation of an offer to buy the notes or any other securities and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which, or to any person to whom, such an offer, solicitation or sale is unlawful. Any offers of the notes will be made only by means of a private offering memorandum.
