KAR Auction Services, Inc. Announces its Intention to Refinance a Portion of
Existing Indebtedness
Carmel, IN, April 26, 2011- 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 3/4% 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.

| Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
Automotive Finance Corporation (“AFC”), a subsidiary of KAR Auction Services, Inc. (the “Company”), sells the majority of its U.S. dollar denominated finance receivables on a revolving basis and without recourse to AFC Funding Corporation (“AFC Funding”), a wholly owned, bankruptcy remote, consolidated, special purpose subsidiary of AFC, established for the purpose of purchasing AFC’s finance receivables. A securitization agreement allows for the revolving sale by AFC Funding to a bank conduit facility of undivided interests in certain eligible finance receivables, subject to committed liquidity. This securitization agreement was amended and restated in April 2011.
On April 26, 2011, AFC and AFC Funding entered into the Fourth Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 26, 2011, by and among AFC, AFC Funding, Fairway Finance Company, LLC (“Fairway Finance”), Monterey Funding LLC (“Monterey Funding”), Salisbury Receivables Company LLC (“Salisbury Receivables Company”), Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch, Barclays Bank plc and BMO Capital Markets Corp. (as amended, the “Receivables Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which AFC Funding sells an undivided ownership interest in the receivables and related rights it purchases from AFC to Fairway Finance, Monterey Funding and Salisbury Receivables Company (collectively, the “Purchasers”). The Purchasers’ investment in the receivables and related rights, together with a return thereon, is paid from collections of the finance receivables held by AFC Funding.
The finance receivables sold and a cash reserve of 1 or 3 percent of the finance receivables sold serve as security for the obligations to the Purchasers. The amount of the cash reserve depends on circumstances which are set forth in the Receivables Purchase Agreement. After the occurrence of a termination event, as defined in the Receivables Purchase Agreement, the bank conduit facility may, and could, cause the stock of AFC Funding to be transferred to the bank conduit facility, though as a practical matter the bank conduit facility would look to the liquidation of the receivables under the transaction documents as their primary remedy. Termination events, as defined in the Receivables Purchase Agreement, include, among other things, breaches of representations and warranties; failures to perform covenants and other obligations as seller or servicer; violations of financial covenants related to AFC, AFC Funding or the Company (including, among others, limits on the amount of debt AFC can incur, minimum levels of tangible net worth of AFC and AFC Funding and certain financial covenants contained in the Company’s senior secured credit agreement); defaults in payment of other indebtedness of the Company, AFC or AFC Funding; violation of certain covenants related to the performance of the receivables portfolio; the occurrence of a material adverse change in the collectibility of the receivables owned by AFC Funding or the business, operations, property or financial condition of AFC or AFC Funding; certain changes in control of AFC or AFC Funding; and certain bankruptcy events with respect to AFC, AFC Funding or the Company.
The following provides a brief description of the amendments effected by the Receivables Purchase Agreement that are material to the Company. Certain of the provisions described below are subject to an order from the Securities and Exchange Commission granting confidential treatment to certain of the information included in the Receivables Purchase Agreement.
| • | An additional Purchaser, Salisbury Receivables Company, became a party to the Receivables Purchase Agreement; |
| • | The aggregate maximum commitment of the Purchasers was increased from $450 million to $650 million; |
| • | The Termination Date of the Receivables Purchase Agreement was extended from April 20, 2012 to June 30, 2014; |
| • | The program fees including the Utilization Fees and Facility Fees were increased; |
| • | Certain definitions in the Receivables Purchase Agreement related to eligible receivables and concentration limitations related to asset classes and obligors were modified; and |
| • | Certain of the covenants and termination events in the Receivables Purchase Agreement that are tied to the performance of the finance receivables portfolio were modified. |
Certain of the lenders and agents and their respective affiliates have, from time to time, performed, and may in the future perform, various financial advisory and investment banking, commercial banking and other services for the Company and its affiliates, for which they received or will receive customary fees and expenses.
The above description of the amendments effected by the Receivables Purchase Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Receivables Purchase Agreement, a copy of which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2011.
On April 26, 2011, the Company issued a press release announcing that AFC and AFC Funding had entered into the Receivables Purchase Agreement. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
