KAR Auction Services, Inc. Announces Preliminary Results of Tender Offer for Outstanding Notes

Carmel, Ind. — KAR Auction Services, Inc. (the “Company”) today announced preliminary results of 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”).

As of 5 p.m., New York City time, on December 15, 2009 (the “Early Tender Date”), $231,361,000 aggregate principal amount of the First Priority Notes, $296,243,000 aggregate principal amount of the Second Priority Notes and $54,578,000 aggregate principal amount of the Third Priority Notes have been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn. Since at least $191,250,000 principal amount of First Priority Notes were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn as of the Early Tender Date, the Minimum Condition (as defined in the Offer to Purchase dated November 30, 2009) was satisfied. Because the repurchase amount of First Priority Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn as of the Early Tender Date is in excess of $213,600,000, which is the maximum aggregate consideration for Notes purchased in the tender offer, excluding accrued and unpaid interest, the Company does not expect to accept any validly tendered Second Priority Notes or Third Priority Notes for purchase in the tender offer and, therefore, such Second Priority Notes and Third Priority Notes will be returned to holders as soon as practicable.

The table below reflects certain unchanged terms of the tender offer:

Holders of First Priority Notes that were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn on or before the Early Tender Date will receive the applicable Total Tender Offer Consideration for any such First Priority Notes accepted for purchase in the tender offer. Holders of First Priority Notes that are validly tendered after the Early Tender Date but before the expiration of the tender offer will receive only the applicable Late Tender Offer Consideration for any such First Priority Notes accepted for purchase in the tender offer.

Because the repurchase of First Priority Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn will exceed the maximum aggregate consideration for Notes purchased in the tender offer, the amount of First Priority Notes accepted for purchase in the tender offer will be subject to proration. We will determine the final proration factor as soon as practicable after the Expiration Date and will publicly announce the results of proration.

The time and date at which the tender offer will expire is 5 p.m., New York City time, on December 30, 2009 (unless extended). The Company currently expects the tender offer to be settled on December 31, 2009.

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.
