Investment Management, LLC (&ldquo;SRS&rdquo;), which owns a 31% economic interest and has been the largest stockholder of Avis
Budget Group, Inc. (the &ldquo;Company&rdquo; or &ldquo;Avis&rdquo;) (NASDAQ: CAR) for the past seven years, today announced that
it has nominated five highly-qualified and motivated individuals for election as directors to the Avis Board at the Company&rsquo;s

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 0 0.5in; text-align: justify">&ldquo;SRS&rsquo;s commitment to
the long-term success of the Company is demonstrated not only by the length of our association with Avis but also by the extent
of economic ownership that it has maintained during this time. Currently, SRS owns a 31% economic interest in Avis through a combination
of 12 million shares in stock (~15%) and economic exposure to an additional 13 million shares (~16%). SRS&rsquo;s support for the
Company has been unwavering despite significant share price volatility. In fact, SRS is the only hedge fund that has remained the
largest investor in any Fortune 500 company for the past seven years.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 0 0.5in; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 0 0.5in; text-align: justify">Over the past two years, through
its representation on the board, SRS has engaged more closely with the Avis management team and non-SRS representatives of the
board (&ldquo;Legacy Board&rdquo;). Although this additional involvement has strengthened SRS&rsquo;s belief in the great long-term
value of the business, it also has made clear that the Company cannot achieve its full potential under the stewardship of the current
Legacy Board.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 0 0.5in; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 0 0.5in; text-align: justify">In SRS&rsquo;s view, the Legacy Board
suffers from a fundamental problem of entrenchment. Of the 10 board members that are not SRS designees, three are former/current
executives of Avis and six of the remaining seven have what ISS describes as compromisingly lengthy tenures of nine or more years.
The seventh board member is the chairman of another public company board where Ronald Nelson (the Executive Chairman of Avis) serves
as the lead director. This board composition clearly exemplifies lack of independent objectivity.</P>

has been made to refresh the Legacy Board despite the substantial change occurring in the mobility industry. The resulting unhealthy

and a neglect of the board&rsquo;s fiduciary duties to its stockholders. Specific examples directly attributable to this failing
are outlined below:</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 0 0.5in; text-align: justify">These failures can only be resolved
by refreshing the board with a new Chairman and independent directors who will hold management accountable. Furthermore, SRS believes
the board needs the technology expertise required to navigate the rapidly evolving world of mobility. Several of the key initiatives
that the new board should focus on include: (1) agreeing on the top strategic priorities for the Company, (2) developing a medium
term plan for accelerating EBITDA growth in the core business, (3) strengthening the management team specifically by hiring a world
class CFO, (4) creating a performance and data-driven culture with a focus on meritocracy over tenure, and (5) aligning management
compensation with performance targets and stockholder returns.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 0 0.5in; text-align: justify">SRS remains a firm believer in Avis&rsquo;s
long-term potential for value creation. We believe the stock is worth significantly more than what is reflected in its current
share price. Avis has a truly global brand with 70 years of history and an excellent core business that generates significant cash
flow. Avis is a uniquely scarce asset that has the potential to play a critical role in the future mobility ecosystem. However,
in our opinion, what is lacking is the guidance and leadership from an independent board that is equipped to help the Company leverage
its strengths to further improve its operating and financial metrics while making the necessary investments to take advantage of
rapid technological changes.</P>

SRS has assembled a slate of five directors comprising two existing directors and three new directors. The two existing directors
have served admirably as board members in the face of what we believe is structural entrenchment and group complacency. The three
new directors (two independent directors and one SRS representative) are all highly qualified and motivated nominees who will guide
Avis to maximize value for Avis stockholders. We look forward to the support from Avis stockholders to drive Avis forward.&rdquo;</P>
