BLOOMFIELD HILLS, MI, August 28, 2012 – Penske Automotive Group, Inc. (NYSE: PAG), an international automotive retailer, today announced that it has completed the previously announced offering of $550 million aggregate principal amount of 5.75% senior subordinated notes due 2022 (the “2022 Notes”) in a private offering. The 2022 Notes were offered to qualified institutional buyers in the United States pursuant to Rule 144A, and outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of this offering to purchase any and all of the Company’s $375.0 million in principal amount of 7.75% senior subordinated notes due 2016 (the “2016 Notes”), and to pay fees and expenses in connection with the offering.

The 2022 Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdictions, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.
