Solera Holdings, Inc. Acquires DMEautomotive, LLC

WESTLAKE, Texas, April 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — Solera Holdings, Inc. (“Solera”, “our” or “we”) (NYSE: SLH), a leading provider of risk and asset management software and services to the automotive and property marketplace, including the global P&C insurance industry, today announced that it has signed an agreement to acquire DMEautomotive, LLC (“DMEa”), a leader in data-driven customer retention and marketing solutions for the retail automotive industry.

DMEa’s content-driven software and individualized communication tools enable automotive sales, service and repair providers to partner with their customers in vehicle management. Combining DMEa’s proprietary technologies with Solera’s existing portfolio will enable Solera’s customers to increase customer retention and drive loyalty through tailored and frequent digital contact across the entire automotive ownership lifecycle.

DMEa will join a series of strategic Solera investments in Service, Maintenance and Repair (“SMR”) capabilities with companies like Identifix, AutoPoint and Service Dynamics. In less than two years, Solera will have assembled a network of assets that serves over 1 million SMR events every week. With DMEa, Solera’s SMR data will cover 40% of the US car parc and over 40% of US households, including nearly 100 million unique owner-vehicle relationships.

“The acquisition of DMEa is very exciting for us as it will further enrich our understanding of our customers’ customers on a personalized and household level,” said Tony Aquila, Solera’s founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “When combined with Solera’s vertical software solutions (SaaS) across the entire automotive lifecycle, this data will create powerful digital content to enhance the ownership experience and strengthen the relationship and transparency between our customers and their customers, resulting in a smoother ride through the ownership lifecycle via technology accessed on any device.”

The acquisition of DMEa is subject to certain closing conditions, including Hart-Scott-Rodino anti-trust clearance, and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of Solera’s fiscal year ending June 30, 2015.
