ahead of a Sept. 16 vote by Dollar Thrifty shareholders on a
proposed Hertz acquisition. In a U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission filing, Avis Budget wrote that its proposal, which now includes a $40.75 per share offer (up from its previous $39.25 per share offer), "is clearly superior to the Hertz offer in the two ways that matter--we are offering a substantially higher price and a more meaningful divestiture commitment. The Hertz offer significantly undervalues Dollar Thrifty."
