America, Inc. (the &#147;<U>Issuer</U>&#148;), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Solera Holdings, Inc. (&#147;<U>Solera</U>&#148;), entered into a purchase agreement (the &#147;<U>Purchase Agreement</U>&#148;) with Solera, the other guarantors
named therein (the &#147;<U>Guarantors</U>&#148;) and Goldman, Sachs&nbsp;&amp; Co., as initial purchaser (the &#147;<U>Initial Purchaser</U>&#148;). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Issuer agreed to sell to the Initial Purchaser, and the
Initial Purchaser agreed to purchase from the Issuer, $510 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.000% Senior Notes due 2021 (the &#147;<U>New 2021 Notes</U>&#148;) and $340 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.125% Senior Notes due 2023
(the &#147;<U>2023 Notes</U>&#148; and together with the New 2021 Notes, the &#147;<U>Notes</U>&#148;). The sale of the Notes closed on November&nbsp;5, 2013. The Issuer used the net proceeds from the offering, together with existing cash on hand,
to make a deposit with the trustee of the Issuer&#146;s 6.75% senior notes due 2018 (the &#147;<U>2018 Notes</U>&#148;) to fund the previously announced redemption of all of the outstanding $850 million aggregate principal amount of the 2018 Notes.
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The New 2021 Notes were issued as additional notes pursuant to an indenture, dated as of July&nbsp;2, 2013 (as supplemented or amended, the &#147;<U>2021
Notes Indenture</U>&#148;), among the Issuer, the Guarantors and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the &#147;Trustee&#148;), under which the Issuer previously issued $850 million of its 6.000% Senior Notes due 2021 (the &#147;<U>Existing
2021 Notes</U>&#148; and together with the New 2021 Notes, the &#147;<U>2021 Notes</U>&#148;). The New 2021 Notes were offered at an original issue price of 101.75% plus accrued interest from July&nbsp;2, 2013. The 2023 Notes were offered at an
original issue price of 100% of par. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the &#147;<U>Securities
Act</U>&#148;), and, unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States absent an applicable exemption from registration requirements. Holders of Notes are not entitled to any registration rights under the Securities Act. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The closing of the offering of the New 2021 Notes and the 2023 Notes satisfied the financing condition in the notice of redemption relating to the 2018 Notes,
and, as a result, the 2018 Notes have become irrevocably due and payable on November&nbsp;18, 2013, the redemption date specified in the notice of redemption. </P>

pursuant to a supplemental indenture to the 2021 Notes Indenture, dated as of November&nbsp;5, 2013 (the &#147;<U>Supplemental Indenture</U>&#148;), among the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee. The New 2021 Notes are treated as a single class
with the Existing 2021 Notes for all purposes and will have the same terms as those of the Existing 2021 Notes. The New 2021 Notes and the Existing 2021 Notes are expected to trade fungibly with one another, except that the New 2021 Notes offered
and sold in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act were issued under a new CUSIP number and will trade separately during the 40-day distribution compliance period. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The 2021 Notes bear interest at a rate of 6.000% and mature on June&nbsp;15, 2021. Interest is payable on the 2021 Notes on June&nbsp;15 and December&nbsp;15
of each year, commencing December&nbsp;15, 2013. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Issuer&#146;s obligations under the 2021 Notes are guaranteed by Solera and all of Solera&#146;s

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Background
On October 17, 2013, Audatex North
America, Inc. (the "
Issuer
"), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Solera Holdings, Inc. ("
Solera
"), entered into a purchase agreement (the "
Purchase Agreement
") with Solera, the other guarantors
named therein (the "
Guarantors
") and Goldman, Sachs & Co., as initial purchaser (the "
Initial Purchaser
"). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Issuer agreed to sell to the Initial Purchaser, and the
Initial Purchaser agreed to purchase from the Issuer, $510 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.000% Senior Notes due 2021 (the "
New 2021 Notes
") and $340 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.125% Senior Notes due 2023
(the "
2023 Notes
" and together with the New 2021 Notes, the "
Notes
"). The sale of the Notes closed on November 5, 2013. The Issuer used the net proceeds from the offering, together with existing cash on hand,
to make a deposit with the trustee of the Issuer's 6.75% senior notes due 2018 (the "
2018 Notes
") to fund the previously announced redemption of all of the outstanding $850 million aggregate principal amount of the 2018 Notes.
The New 2021 Notes were issued as additional notes pursuant to an indenture, dated as of July 2, 2013 (as supplemented or amended, the "
2021
Notes Indenture
"), among the Issuer, the Guarantors and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the "Trustee"), under which the Issuer previously issued $850 million of its 6.000% Senior Notes due 2021 (the "
Existing
2021 Notes
" and together with the New 2021 Notes, the "
2021 Notes
"). The New 2021 Notes were offered at an original issue price of 101.75% plus accrued interest from July 2, 2013. The 2023 Notes were offered at an
original issue price of 100% of par.
The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "
Securities
Act
"), and, unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States absent an applicable exemption from registration requirements. Holders of Notes are not entitled to any registration rights under the Securities Act.
The closing of the offering of the New 2021 Notes and the 2023 Notes satisfied the financing condition in the notice of redemption relating to the 2018 Notes,
and, as a result, the 2018 Notes have become irrevocably due and payable on November 18, 2013, the redemption date specified in the notice of redemption.
Supplemental Indenture
The New 2021 Notes were issued
pursuant to a supplemental indenture to the 2021 Notes Indenture, dated as of November 5, 2013 (the "
Supplemental Indenture
"), among the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee. The New 2021 Notes are treated as a single class
with the Existing 2021 Notes for all purposes and will have the same terms as those of the Existing 2021 Notes. The New 2021 Notes and the Existing 2021 Notes are expected to trade fungibly with one another, except that the New 2021 Notes offered
and sold in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act were issued under a new CUSIP number and will trade separately during the 40-day distribution compliance period.
The 2021 Notes bear interest at a rate of 6.000% and mature on June 15, 2021. Interest is payable on the 2021 Notes on June 15 and December 15
of each year, commencing December 15, 2013.
The Issuer's obligations under the 2021 Notes are guaranteed by Solera and all of Solera's
wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries (other than the Issuer and six immaterial domestic subsidiaries). The 2021 Notes and the guarantees are unsecured senior obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors.
The 2021 Notes Indenture contains covenants limiting the ability of Solera and its subsidiaries to: (i) incur liens; (ii) engage in sale and
leaseback transactions; or (iii) consolidate, merge with, or convey, transfer or lease substantially all of their assets to, another person. Except if the 2021 Notes achieve an investment grade rating, the 2021 Notes Indenture also limits the
ability of any subsidiary of Solera (other than the Issuer or any parent company of the Issuer) to incur indebtedness. All of these covenants are subject to important exceptions and qualifications.
The 2021 Notes Indenture provides for events of default (subject in certain cases to customary grace and cure
periods) which include, among others, nonpayment of principal or interest when due, breach of covenants or other agreements in the 2021 Notes Indenture, defaults in payment of certain other indebtedness, certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency
and when the guarantees of significant subsidiaries cease to be in full force and effect. Generally, if an event of default occurs, the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding 2021 Notes may declare the
principal of and accrued but unpaid interest on all of the 2021 Notes to be due and payable immediately.
At any time prior to June 15, 2016, the
Issuer may, subject to certain conditions, redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2021 Notes issued under the 2021 Notes Indenture at a redemption price equal to 106.000% of the principal amount of the 2021 Notes redeemed, plus
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption. At any time prior to June 15, 2017, the 2021 Notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at the option of the Issuer, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of
the 2021 Notes redeemed plus a "make-whole premium" and accrued and unpaid interest to, the applicable redemption date. On or after June 15, 2017, the Issuer may redeem all or a part of the 2021 Notes, at the following redemption
prices: (i) if the redemption occurs on or after June 15, 2017 but prior to June 15, 2018, the redemption price is 103.000% of the principal amount of the 2021 Notes; (ii) if the redemption occurs on or after June 15, 2018
but prior to June 15, 2019, the redemption price is 101.500% of the principal amount of the 2021 Notes; and (iii) if the redemption occurs on or after June 15, 2019, the redemption price is 100.000% of the principal amount of the 2021
Notes.
If Solera experiences certain change of control events accompanied by certain ratings events, the Issuer must give holders of the 2021 Notes the
opportunity to sell it their 2021 Notes at 101% of their face amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase.
A copy of the
Supplemental Indenture is attached as Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein. The description of the material terms of the Supplemental Indenture is qualified in its entirety by reference to such
exhibit.
A description of the 2021 Notes Indenture was included in Solera's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 9, 2013 (the "
July
9, 2013 Form 8-K
") and is incorporated by reference herein, and a copy of the 2021 Notes Indenture was attached as Exhibit 4.1 to the July 9, 2013 Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein. The description of the material terms
of the 2021 Notes and the 2021 Notes Indenture is qualified in its entirety by reference to such description and exhibit.
2023 Indenture
The 2023 Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of November 5, 2013 (the "
2023 Notes Indenture
"), among the Issuer, the
Guarantors and the Trustee.
The Issuer may issue additional 2023 Notes under the 2023 Notes Indenture from time to time. The 2023 Notes and any
additional 2023 Notes subsequently issued under the indenture will be treated as a single class for all purposes under the indenture, including, without limitation, waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase.
Interest and Maturity
The 2023 Notes will mature on
November 1, 2023. Interest on the 2023 Notes accrues at the rate of 6.125% per annum and is payable semiannually in arrears on May 1 and November 1, which will commence on May 1, 2014. The Issuer will make each interest
payment to the holders of record on the immediately preceding April 15 and October 15.
Ranking and Guarantees
The 2023 Notes are the Issuer's senior unsecured obligations, rank equally with all of its existing and future senior unsecured debt, including its
existing 6.000% Senior Notes due 2021, and are senior to all its existing and future subordinated debt. Holders of any secured indebtedness that Solera or any of its subsidiaries may incur in the future will have a priority claim on those assets
that secure such secured indebtedness. The 2023 Notes are guaranteed by Solera and each of Solera's current domestic subsidiaries, other than the Issuer and six immaterial subsidiaries.
Subsidiaries of Solera (other than certain excluded subsidiaries) will be required to guarantee the 2023 Notes after the issue date of the 2023 Notes in the event that such subsidiaries incur
indebtedness, subject to certain exceptions, as set forth in the 2023 Notes Indenture. The 2023 Note guarantees are joint and several obligations of the Guarantors. The obligations of each Guarantor under its 2023 Note guarantee is limited as
necessary to prevent that 2023 Note guarantee from constituting a fraudulent conveyance under applicable law.
Redemption
At any time prior to November 1, 2016, the Issuer may, subject to certain conditions, redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2023 Notes
issued under the 2023 Notes Indenture at a redemption price equal to 106.125% of the principal amount of the 2023 Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption. At any time prior to November 1, 2018, the
2023 Notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at the option of the Issuer, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2023 Notes redeemed plus a "make-whole premium" and accrued and unpaid interest to, the
applicable redemption date. On or after November 1, 2018, the Issuer may redeem all or a part of the 2023 Notes, at the following redemption prices: (i) if the redemption occurs on or after November 1, 2018 but prior to
November 1, 2019, the redemption price is 103.063% of the principal amount of the 2023 Notes; (ii) if the redemption occurs on or after November 1, 2019 but prior to November 1, 2020, the redemption price is 102.042% of the
principal amount of the 2023 Notes; (iii) if the redemption occurs on or after November 1, 2020 but prior to November 1, 2021, the redemption price is 101.021% of the principal amount of the 2023 Notes; and (iv) if the redemption
occurs on or after November 1, 2021, the redemption price is 100.000% of the principal amount of the 2023 Notes.
If Solera experiences certain
change of control events accompanied by certain ratings events, the Issuer must give holders of the 2023 Notes the opportunity to sell it their 2023 Notes at 101% of their face amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of
purchase.
Covenants
The 2023 Notes Indenture
contains covenants limiting the ability of Solera and its subsidiaries (other than certain excluded subsidiaries, as defined in the 2023 Notes Indenture (each, an "
Excluded Subsidiary
")) to: (i) incur liens; (ii) engage in
sale and leaseback transactions; or (iii) consolidate, merge with, or convey, transfer or lease substantially all of their assets to, another person. Except if the 2023 Notes achieve an investment grade rating, the 2023 Notes Indenture also
limits the ability of any subsidiary of Solera (other than the Issuer or any parent company of the Issuer or any Excluded Subsidiary) to incur indebtedness. All of these covenants are subject to important exceptions and qualifications.
Events of Default
The 2023 Notes Indenture provides for
events of default (subject in certain cases to customary grace and cure periods) which include, among others, nonpayment of principal or interest when due, breach of covenants or other agreements in the indenture, defaults in payment of certain
other indebtedness, certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency and when the guarantees of significant subsidiaries cease to be in full force and effect. Generally, if an event of default occurs, the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in
