To all United Rentals employees,

This morning, we announced an exciting merger with RSC Holdings, the second largest provider of equipment rental services in North America. The deal will combine two highly respected companies to create a new, best-in-class equipment rental leader. We expect the transaction to close in the first half of 2012, following the necessary approvals. A copy of the press release is attached for your information.

United Rentals and RSC have a great deal of respect for each other’s achievements, and we have similar cultures. Both companies are committed to operational excellence and superior customer service. As we integrate our operations post-closing, we will share a wealth of best practices and expertise that will benefit our customers and enhance our growth opportunities.

This is a transformative step we’re taking, and I’m sure you have questions. Attached is a set of FAQs that should be helpful. Your manager and HR manager are available to address any additional questions you may have, but please bear in mind that we simply may not have the answers at the time you ask. We’ll do our best to keep you informed as we move forward with the transition. I want to emphasize that, for now, it is business as usual; nothing has changed. You’ll find more about this in the FAQs.

It’s important that our company speaks with one voice during this critical period. As is company policy, please direct any inquiries from the media or other third parties to Fred Bratman, SVP of Corporate Communications and Investor Relations, at 203-618-7318, fbratman@ur.com.

There are many synergies that exist between United Rentals and RSC, which will benefit our current and future customers. Your professionalism and commitment have brought us to a place of strength, where we can make this deal. Together, we have transformed United Rentals, and now we’re about to take another momentous step forward. There are exciting days ahead!

Please join me for a special All-Employee Call this morning, when we will provide additional details and take your questions:
