KAR Auction Services Announces Final Results of Cash Tender Offer for Notes

Carmel, Ind. – KAR Auction Services, Inc. (the “Company”) today announced the final results of its previously announced cash tender offer for its 10% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2015 (CUSIP No. 48238QAF2) (the “First Priority Notes”) and its 8¾% Senior Notes due 2014 (CUSIP No. 48238QAE5) (the “Second Priority Notes” and, together with the First Priority Notes, the “Notes”).

The tender offer expired at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on December 14, 2010 (the “Expiration Date”). As of the Expiration Date, $106,307,000 aggregate principal amount of First Priority Notes and $66,751,000 aggregate principal amount of Second Priority Notes were validly tendered and not withdrawn. All of the Notes were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn on or prior to 5 p.m., New York City time, on December 1, 2010 (the “Early Tender Date”).

The amounts of each tranche of Notes accepted for purchase in the tender offer were determined in accordance with the priorities identified in the “Acceptance Priority Level” column in the table below and were subject to a maximum aggregate principal amount of Notes purchased in the tender offer, together with applicable premiums paid in connection with the tender offer but excluding accrued and unpaid interest, of $73,800,000 (the “Maximum Payment Amount”). Because the tender offer was oversubscribed, in accordance with the terms of the tender offer, the Company accepted for purchase $68,333,000 aggregate principal amount of validly tendered First Priority Notes, which represents a proration factor of approximately 64.3%. The Company did not accept any validly tendered Second Priority Notes for purchase in the tender offer and, therefore, such Second Priority Notes were returned to holders.

The Company will deliver total tender offer consideration of $73,799,640.00, plus an aggregate of approximately $0.8 million for accrued and unpaid interest, to the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) on the expected settlement date of December 15, 2010, for prompt payment for all validly tendered First Priority Notes accepted for purchase in the tender offer and has directed Global Bondholder Services Corporation, the depositary for the tender offer, to return all validly tendered First Priority Notes that were not accepted for purchase as soon as practicable.

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 dated November 12, 2010, the related Letter of Transmittal, the Company’s press releases relating to the tender offer issued on November 12, 2010, and December 2, 2010, and this press release.
