Exhibit 99.10
CUSTOMER FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why is this transaction good for customers?
Standard Parking Corporation and Central Parking Corporation have each developed automated and web-based, state-of-the-art products and services that currently benefit only our respective customers. The merger will blend the best products and services of both companies to deliver improved parking experiences to all of our customers, including customer interface technologies such as:
• | Online parking and shuttle bus reservation tools that allow you to reserve and pay for your parking or shuttle bus seats in advance (Click and Park®, Click and RideTM) |
• | Online parking location and related information websites (Parking.com and AboutParking.com) |
• | Multi-channel customer support providing city-by-city information |
Once the merger is consummated, the combined company expects to be able to accelerate the development of new technology at a faster pace than either company would achieve on its own. As a result, you should enjoy improved parking experiences and higher satisfaction. Our expanded location base will capture parking data on a scale that will better identify your parking preferences, which will help guide the development of technologies to enhance customer service.
How does this affect my current parking contract and rates?
Your current parking contract and rates won’t be affected.
I’m a monthly parker. Is anything happening now that will change the way I pay for my parking?
No. All of the billing and payment procedures currently being used remain in place and are unaffected.
Will there be new customer product or service offerings?
After the merger is consummated, we expect to accelerate the development of new parking-related technology that will improve your parking experience. Moreover, the merger will allow us to blend the best existing products and services of both companies to offer to all of our combined customers, thus delivering improved parking experiences.
