Holders of the company's preferred stock, including affiliates of Apollo Management, which represent approximately 18 per cent of the voting power of the capital stock of United Rentals, have agreed to vote their shares in favour of the merger.
United Rentals is an equipment rental company. The company offers for rent about 20,000 classes of rental equipment with a total original cost of $4bn.
