Item 8.01. Other Events.

On June 17, 2013, Asbury Automotive Group, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release (the “Announcement Press Release”) announcing its intention to offer, pursuant to an exemption under the Securities Act of 1933, $75.0 million in aggregate principal amount of additional 8.375% senior subordinated notes due 2020 (the “Additional Notes”). The Additional Notes being offered are an additional issuance of, and will rank equally and form a single series with, the outstanding $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 8.375% senior subordinated notes due 2020, which were issued on November 16, 2010 (the “Existing Notes”). The Additional Notes will have the same terms as the Existing Notes, including being guaranteed by all of the Company’s existing subsidiaries and future domestic restricted subsidiaries, with certain exceptions.

A copy of the Announcement Press Release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, and is incorporated by reference herein.

Also on June 17, 2013, the Company issued a press release announcing the pricing and increase in size of its offering of Additional Notes (the “Pricing Press Release”). The Company will issue $100.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Additional Notes which will be priced at 109.75% plus accrued interest from and including May 15, 2013, and which will result in total proceeds of approximately $109.8 million.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering of Additional Notes for general corporate purposes. The Company may use the proceeds from the offering, together with cash on hand or available borrowings under various credit or mortgage facilities, to redeem its outstanding 7.625% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2017. The consummation of the offering of Additional Notes is conditioned upon customary closing conditions.

A copy of the Pricing Press Release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2, and is incorporated by reference herein.

The information contained in this report shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to purchase any Additional Notes in any jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
