– Hertz Acquisition of Dollar Thrifty Paves Way for Acquisition of
Advantage –

CALGARY, Nov. 20, 2012 /CNW/ – FRANCHISE SERVICES OF NORTH AMERICA INC. (“FSNA” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: FSN) wishes to provide an update on
transaction timing further to its previous announcements relating to
its agreement to acquire (the “Acquisition”) Simply Wheelz, LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company and the owner of the Advantage
Rent-A-Car brand (“Advantage”), and certain other divested assets
(together, the “Assets”) from Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. (“Hertz”)
(NYSE: HTZ). The Company also wishes to provide an update with regard
to the Assets in accordance with the press release of Hertz identifying
the potential for 13 additional on-airport concessions to be acquired
by the Company.

Details Regarding the Hertz Acquisition of Dollar Thrifty

On November 15, 2012, the United States Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”)
issued a consent order that effectively completed the review of the
Hertz acquisition of Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group Inc. (“Dollar
Thrifty”) by the FTC.

Hertz announced today that it has completed its acquisition of Dollar
Thrifty.

The Company’s successful completion of the acquisition of the Assets was
subject to the completion of the Hertz acquisition of Dollar Thrifty.

Details Regarding Amendments to the Transaction

On August 28, 2012, the Company announced that, upon completion of the
Acquisition, the Company would operate Advantage from 62 rental
locations servicing airports across the United States. As a result of
the FTC consent order, Hertz will be required to provide the Company,
or another FTC-approved buyer, with the right to operate on-airport
concessions at an additional 13 airports. As Advantage already
operates off-airport locations servicing three of these airports, if
the Company is the buyer of these additional locations, it will result
in a net increase of 10 new locations for the Company. As a result, the
Company may acquire up to 72 rental locations in new markets in the
United States.

The Acquisition will proceed by way of the previously announced merger
(the “Merger”) between wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company and
Macquarie Capital. Macquarie Capital, through a wholly-owned
subsidiary, has entered into a purchase agreement with Hertz for the
acquisition of the Assets. Closing of the acquisition of Advantage by
a subsidiary of Macquarie Capital is now scheduled to take place on
December 12, 2012, with the closings of the remaining Assets to occur
in 2013.

The Acquisition and Merger is expected to close in the first quarter of
2013 and is more fully described in the appendix to the Company’s press
release dated August 28, 2012.
