Item 7.01

Regulation FD Disclosure.

On July 14, 2017, H&E Equipment Services, Inc. (“H&E” or the “Company”) announced it has entered into a definitive merger agreement with Neff Corporation (“Neff”) whereby H&E will acquire Neff (the “Acquisition”). The Acquisition is expected to close in the late third quarter or early fourth quarter of 2017, and is subject to customary closing conditions including Hart-Scott-Rodino Act clearance.

Certain information concerning the Acquisition and our business that we expect to use at an investor conference call on Tuesday, July 18, 2017 at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time can be currently accessed on our website, www.he-equipment.com under “Investor Relations—Presentations”.

The investor presentation includes financial information not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“Non-GAAP Financial Measures”). A reconciliation of the Non-GAAP Financial Measures included in the presentation to financial information prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), as required by Regulation G, appears in Appendix A to the presentation.

The information contained in the presentation is summary information that is intended to be considered in the context of the Company’s and Neff’s Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings and other public announcements that the Company or Neff may make, by press release or otherwise, from time to time. The Company undertakes no duty or obligation to publicly update or revise the information contained in the presentation or this report, although it may do so from time to time as its management believes is warranted. Any such updating may be made through the filing of other reports or documents with the SEC, through press releases or through other public disclosure.

The Company makes no admission as to the materiality of any information in the presentation or in this report. This information is furnished pursuant to Item 7.01 of Form 8-K and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section, unless we specifically incorporate it by reference in a document filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Exchange Act of 1933, as amended, except as previously set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
