KAR Auction Services Announces Intention to Amend Credit Facility to Lower Pricing

Carmel, IN – February 28, 2013 – KAR Auction Services, Inc. (NYSE: KAR) (the “Company”) announced today its intention to seek an amendment to its credit agreement.

Subject to market conditions, the Company is seeking an amendment that would, among other things, result in lower interest costs by refinancing all currently outstanding term loans with a new tranche of term loans. The Company is also seeking to raise up to $150 million of incremental term loan commitments, the proceeds of which, together with a portion of the new tranche of term loans, will be used to redeem the Company’s outstanding $150 million aggregate principal amount of floating rate senior notes due May 1, 2014.

The Company anticipates that the credit agreement amendment will be completed in March 2013. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to complete the amendment, which is subject to market and other customary conditions.
