Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Arrangement Agreement

On April 27, 2012, FleetCor Technologies, Inc. ("FleetCor") and its wholly-owned subsidiary, FleetCor Luxembourg Holding2 S.À.R.L., and CTF Technologies, Inc. ("CTF") entered into an Arrangement Agreement (the "Agreement") for the sale and purchase of all of the issued and outstanding shares of CTF. FleetCor issued a press release announcing this Agreement on May 1, 2012.

FleetCor agreed to acquire all of CTF’s (the "Acquisition") issued and outstanding shares for an aggregate purchase price of $180 million, by way of a British Columbia, Canada court-approved plan of arrangement. A total of $27 million of the purchase price will be held back to support indemnities given under the Agreement. FleetCor anticipates that the consideration for the Acquisition will be paid using existing cash and borrowings under FleetCor’s credit facilities. CTF’s operating company and operating assets are located in Sao Paulo, Brazil, including machinery and equipment. The Acquisition is expected to close within approximately 60 days.

Completion of the Acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions, including receipt of court, shareholder and regulatory approvals and the absence of material adverse changes. CTF shareholders will be asked to vote on the Acquisition at an annual and special meeting of shareholders currently expected to be held in late June 2012. Holders of approximately 68% of CTF shares, being certain of CTF’s directors, officers and shareholders, have entered into voting agreements with FleetCor supporting the Acquisition.

Other than in respect of the Acquisition, there was no material relationship between CTF and FleetCor or any of its affiliates, or any director or officer of FleetCor, or any associate of any such director or officer. The Agreement includes limited representations, warranties and covenants by the parties.

The representations and warranties contained in the Agreement were made only for the purposes of such Agreement and as of specified dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Agreement, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties. Certain of the representations and warranties have been made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts. Investors are not third−party beneficiaries under the Agreement. In addition, the representations and warranties contained in the Agreement (i) are qualified by information that the parties have exchanged, and (ii) in some cases are subject to qualifications with respect to materiality, knowledge and/or other matters, including standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that may differ from those applicable to investors. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in FleetCor’s public disclosures. Accordingly, investors should not rely on the representations and warranties as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of FleetCor or CTF or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates.

FleetCor undertakes no obligation to update forward looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events, or changes in future operating results, financial condition or business over time.
