KAR Auction Services, Inc. Announces Its Intention to Refinance a Portion of Existing Indebtedness

Carmel, Ind. – KAR Auction Services, Inc. (NYSE:KAR) announced today that it intends to refinance a portion of its existing indebtedness. The purpose of the planned refinancing is to extend the maturities of its existing debt and provide greater flexibility to prepay debt by taking advantage of current market conditions. The company intends to complete the planned refinancing only if these purposes can be achieved.

KAR intends to refinance existing debt with a new $1.5 billion Senior Secured Term Loan B and $250 million Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility. KAR will also utilize a portion of its cash on hand for the refinancing. The refinancing is expected to be leverage neutral, excluding fees and expenses of the refinancing transactions. The proceeds of the refinancing will be used to refinance the existing Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan B, 10% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2015 and a portion of the 8 ¾% Senior Notes due 2014. The company’s Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2014 will remain outstanding. The terms of the contemplated transactions are not yet final.

KAR intends to conduct a conference call with current and potential new lenders on Thursday, April 28, 2011, to discuss the proposed refinancing.
