Item 1.01.  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On March 13, 2013, KAR Auction Services, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that it had  (i) entered into the Second Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “Second Amendment”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the several lenders party to the Second Amendment, amending the Company’s Credit Agreement, dated as of May 19, 2011 (as amended by the First Amendment to Credit Agreement, dated November 29, 2012, and as further amended by the Second Amendment, the “Credit Agreement”) and (ii) entered into an Incremental Term Loan Agreement No. 1 (the “Incremental Agreement”) to the Credit Agreement, with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, certain subsidiaries of the Company party thereto and the several lenders party thereto.

The Second Amendment provides for the repricing of the term loans under the Credit Agreement through the incurrence of $1,674.5 million of new term loans (the “New Term Loans”), the proceeds of which were used to repay in full all the outstanding term loans under the Credit Agreement.  The New Term Loans are subject to (i) a decrease in LIBOR floor to 1.00% from 1.25%, (ii) a decrease in the applicable margin for Eurodollar rate term loans to 2.75% from 3.75% and (iii) a decrease in the applicable margin for base rate term loans to 1.75% from 2.75%.  Additionally, the Second Amendment resets the incremental term loan availability to $300.0 million after giving effect to the incurrence of the incremental term loan borrowings under the Incremental Agreement.

The Incremental Agreement provides for the incurrence of an additional $150.0 million of term loans, the proceeds of which the Company will use to redeem the Company’s Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2014 on April 3, 2013.

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 foregoing description of the Second Amendment and the Incremental Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Second Amendment and the Incremental Agreement, which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and which are incorporated herein by reference.
