Item 1.01.  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On May 24, 2024, United Rentals, Inc. (the “Company”), United Rentals (North America), Inc. (“URNA”) and United Rentals Receivables LLC II (the “SPV”) entered into the Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and Amendment No. 16 to Third Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement and Amendment No. 9 to Third Amended and Restated Purchase and Contribution Agreement (the “Amendment”), by and among URNA, as Originator, the SPV, as Seller, the Company, as Collection Agent, Liberty Street Funding LLC, as a Purchaser (“Liberty”), Gotham Funding Corporation, as a Purchaser (“Gotham”) and GTA Funding LLC, as a Purchaser (“GTA”, and together with Liberty and Gotham, the “Purchasers”), The Bank of Nova Scotia, as a Bank, as Administrative Agent and as the Purchaser Agent for Liberty (“Scotia Capital” and the “Administrative Agent”), PNC Bank, National Association, as a Bank and as the Purchaser Agent for itself (“PNC”), Truist Bank (successor by merger to SunTrust Bank), as a Bank and as the Purchaser Agent for itself (“Truist”), MUFG Bank, Ltd., as a Bank and as the Purchaser Agent for Gotham (“MUFG”), and The Toronto-Dominion Bank, as a Bank and as the Purchaser Agent for GTA (“TD” and, together with Scotia Capital, PNC, Truist and MUFG, the “Existing Banks” and the “Existing Purchaser Agents”) and Regions Bank, as a new Bank and as a new Purchaser Agent (“Regions”, and together with the Existing Banks and the Existing Purchaser Agents, respectively, the “Banks” and the “Purchaser Agents”), with respect to (i) the Third Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated as of September 24, 2012 (as amended by various amendments between 2013 and 2023 and the Amendment, the “Receivables Purchase Agreement”) and (ii) the Third Amended and Restated Purchase and Contribution Agreement, dated as of September 24, 2012 (as amended by various amendments between 2013 and 2022 and the Amendment, the “Contribution Agreement”).  All capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Amendment or the Receivables Purchase Agreement, as applicable.

Pursuant to the Amendment, the expiration date of the facility (as amended, the “Amended A/R Facility”) was extended until June 24, 2025 and may be further extended on a 364-day basis by mutual agreement of the Company and the purchasers under the Amended A/R Facility. The Amendment also provides for the addition of Regions as a Bank and as a Purchaser Agent under the Receivables Purchase Agreement. Advances under the Amended A/R Facility will continue to be reflected as debt on our condensed consolidated balance sheets and receivables in the collateral pool will be reflected as assets on our consolidated balance sheets. Additionally, the Purchase Limit for the Amended A/R Facility and the aggregate commitments of the Banks under the Amended A/R Facility were increased from $1,300,000,000 to $1,500,000,000.

Pursuant to the terms of the Amended A/R Facility, advances will continue to be permitted only to the extent that the face amount of the eligible receivables in the collateral pool exceeds the outstanding loans by a specified amount. The Amended A/R Facility will also continue to be structured so that the receivables in the collateral pool are the lenders’ only source of repayment. Upon early termination of the Amended A/R Facility, no new amounts will be advanced under the Amended A/R Facility and collections on the receivables securing the Amended A/R Facility will be used to repay the outstanding advances. The Amended A/R Facility is subject to standard termination events including, without limitation, a change of control of the Company or URNA, a failure to make payments, a failure to comply with standard default, delinquency, dilution and days sales outstanding covenants, or breach of the financial ratio covenant under URNA’s credit facility.

The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment, as well as the Receivables Purchase Agreement and the Contribution Agreement, as amended. In connection with the Amendment, the Company confirmed its performance undertaking originally given in May 2005 in connection with the initial establishment of the securitization facility, as amended and restated in September 2012 in connection with an amendment and restatement of the securitization facility.
