KAR Auction Services Announces Amendment of Tender Offer for Notes

Carmel, Ind. — KAR Auction Services, Inc. (the “Company”) today announced that it has amended its previously announced cash tender offer for its 10% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2015 (CUSIP No. 48238QAF2) (the “First Priority Notes”), its 8¾% Senior Notes due 2014 (CUSIP No. 48238QAE5) (the “Second Priority Notes”) and its Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2014 (CUSIP No. 48238QAD7) (the “Third Priority Notes” and, together with the First Priority Notes and the Second Priority Notes, the “Notes”). The tender offer has been amended such that the maximum aggregate consideration for Notes purchased in the tender offer, excluding accrued and unpaid interest, will be $243,639,925 (the “Maximum Payment Amount”).

The Company has also extended the time and date at which the tender offer will expire from 5 p.m., New York City time, on December 30, 2009 to 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on January 4, 2010, unless further extended (such date and time, as the same may be extended, the “Expiration Date”). Holders that have previously tendered Notes do not need to re-tender their Notes or take any other action in response to this amendment to the tender offer to receive the Total Tender Offer Consideration.

The Total Tender Offer Consideration, the Late Tender Offer Consideration, the Early Tender Premium and the Acceptance Priority Levels (each, as defined in the Offer to Purchase dated November 30, 2009) will remain the same and have not been amended. The Early Tender Date and the Withdrawal Deadline remain the same and occurred at 5 p.m., New York City time, on December 15, 2009.

On December 16, 2009, the Company announced preliminary results of its tender offer. Validly tendered Notes may no longer be withdrawn pursuant to the terms of the tender offer. Because the amount of cash the Company would be required to use to repurchase the First Priority Notes that have been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn will exceed the Maximum Payment Amount, the amount of First Priority Notes accepted for purchase in the tender offer will be subject to proration. The Company will determine the final proration factor as soon as practicable after the Expiration Date and will publicly announce the results of proration.

In addition to the applicable Tender Offer Consideration, holders whose Notes are accepted for purchase in the tender offer will receive accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date on which the tender offer is settled, which is now expected to be January 5, 2010.

This press release is neither an offer to purchase nor a solicitation of an offer to sell any Notes. The tender offer is made only by, and pursuant to the terms of, the Offer to Purchase, the related Letter of Transmittal and the Company’s press release relating to the tender offer issued on December 10, 2009. The information in this press release is qualified by reference to those documents, except to the extent the terms of the tender offer described therein are amended by this press release. Subject to applicable law, the Company may further amend, extend, waive conditions to or terminate the tender offer.
