United Rentals Amends Credit Facility

November 17, 2005 — United Rentals, Inc., Greenwich, Conn., recently announced that the lenders under its secured credit facility have agreed to allow the company until March 31, 2006, to provide 2004 audited financial statements and final financial statements for 2005 interim periods. This agreement is consistent with the previously announced consent by the company's bondholders.

 

As previously announced, the company has delayed reporting final results for 2004 and 2005 interim periods to allow time to review matters relating to the SEC inquiry of the company and complete restatements of self-insurance reserves for 2000 through 2003 and the first nine months of 2004, income tax provisions prior to 2004, and sale-leaseback transactions for 2000 through 2002.
