Pershing Square Holdings 2025 Annual Report (incl. Letter to Shareholders)

Pershing Square Holdings, Ltd. 17 Beyond the core rental business, we believe Hertz has the potential to meaningfully grow through high-margin ancillary services. The company is currently building out the infrastructure to sell more used cars directly through its retail channels. The company has partnerships with Amazon and Cox, and a “rent-to-buy” program which is now live in over 100 cities. We believe this retail strategy can evolve into a meaningful profit center, leading to structurally lower depreciation costs and providing a platform to sell additional Finance and Insurance (F&I) products. In addition, we believe Hertz is uniquely positioned to be a critical partner for mobility companies rolling out autonomous vehicle fleets. The company’s expertise in vehicle maintenance and the scale of its parking and service facilities make it an ideal partner to manage these complex fleets. Both of these initiatives have the potential to further leverage Hertz’s fixed-cost base and diversify its revenue streams. The company is also now in a much stronger liquidity position. In September, we helped facilitate a convertible bond issuance by increasing our economic exposure to the company through the purchase of swaps on its shares. Simultaneously with the issuance, the company entered into a capped-call transaction, which ensures the convertible bonds are not dilutive unless the stock nearly triples from current prices.

Pershing Square Holdings, Ltd. 59 Ernst & Young LLP (“EY”) has acted as the Company’s auditor since it was appointed to audit the Company’s first financial statements, for the period of December 31, 2012. The Audit Committee last completed a formal audit tender process in 2022 and EY’s audit partner rotated from Jersey to Guernsey for the 2022 audit year, which was an important consideration when the Audit Committee concluded that the auditor was able to evidence continued independence. The Audit Committee also reviewed the scope of the audit and the fee proposal set out by EY in its audit planning report and discussed these with EY at the Audit Committee meeting held on November 6, 2025. The Company regularly undertakes market surveys of auditors’ fees and has found EY’s fees to be in line with the market. The Audit Committee recommended to the Board that it accept EY’s proposed fee of $301,500 (2024 Actual: $265,100) for the audit of the Annual Report and Financial Statements. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company also paid $81,700 (2024: $80,000) for fees related to the semi-annual review. The Audit Committee understands the importance of auditor independence. Each year, the Audit Committee reviews the scope and results of the audit, its cost effectiveness, and the independence and objectivity of the external auditor.

The performance is also provided to you on the understanding that you will understand and accept the inherent limitations of such results, and will not rely on them in making any investment decision with respect to an investment with Pershing Square. 2. PSLP’s net performance results are presented as it is the Pershing Square fund with the longest track record and substantially the same investment strategy to the Company. The inception date for PSLP is January 1, 2004. In 2004, Pershing Square earned a $1.5 million (approximately 3.9%) annual management fee and PSLP’s general partner earned a performance allocation equal to 20% above a 6% hurdle from PSLP, in accordance with the terms of the limited partnership agreement of PSLP then in effect. That limited partnership agreement was later amended to provide for a 1.5% annual management fee and 20% performance allocation effective January 1, 2005. The net returns for PSLP presented herein reflect the different fee arrangements in 2004, and subsequently. In addition, pursuant to a separate agreement, in 2004 the sole unaffiliated limited partner of PSLP paid Pershing Square an additional $840,000 for overhead expenses in connection with services provided unrelated to PSLP, which have not been taken into account in determining PSLP’s net returns. To the extent that such overhead expenses had been included as fund expenses of PSLP, net returns would have been lower. 3. Please refer to Endnote ii of the Chairman’s Statement. 4.
