On November 2, 2012, we issued a press release announcing our third quarter financial results and other information. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
In late October 2012, several of our dealerships on the East Coast were impacted by super-storm Sandy. These dealerships experienced, and continue to experience, varying degrees of power outage, property damage, loss of inventory and flooding, resulting in a loss of service to their local communities. We are currently assessing the impact of the storm to these locations as well as the impact of closure of local roads and availability of replacement vehicles and parts from the applicable manufacturers.
