Item 8.01 Other Events

In December 2011and following prolonged contract negotiations, Audatex North America, Inc. (“Audatex”), a subsidiary of Solera Holdings, Inc. (“Solera”), was unable to reach a mutually acceptable renewal agreement with a U.S. insurance company customer. Solera expects this customer to transition to another provider in fiscal year 2013. This contract accounted for approximately 2% of revenue in each of fiscal year 2011 and the three months ended September 30, 2011. Solera does not expect any material impact to revenue or Adjusted EBITDA in fiscal 2012 as a result of the nonrenewal.

Due in part to Audatex’s long-term relationship with this customer, Audatex will support its commitment to this customer with an orderly transition, which will be defined in the coming months. Solera remains very focused on the delivery of high-value, essential software to customers at prices reflecting their value.
