On April 29, 2009, DealerTrack Holdings, Inc. (“DealerTrack” or the “Company”) filed a Preliminary Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of DealerTrack to be held on June 17, 2009 (the “Preliminary Proxy Statement”), which among other things contains a proposal to be submitted to the Company’s stockholders to approve a stock option exchange program for employees other than the Company’s named executive officers and directors (the “Proposed Stock Option Exchange”).
The Preliminary Proxy Statement attached as an Exhibit to this Schedule TO does not constitute an offer to holders of the Company’s outstanding stock options to exchange those options. The Proposed Stock Option Exchange will only be commenced, if at all, if the Company’s stockholders approve the Proposed Stock Option Exchange.
The Stock Option Exchange Program has not commenced and is conditioned upon stockholder approval. DealerTrack will file a Tender Offer Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) upon the commencement of the Stock Option Exchange, which DealerTrack option holders should read before participating in the program, as it will contain important information. DealerTrack option holders will be able to obtain the written materials described above and other documents filed by the Company with the SEC free of charge from the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov . In addition, option holders may obtain free copies of the documents filed by DealerTrack with the SEC by directing a written request to: DealerTrack Holdings, Inc., 1111 Marcus Ave., Suite M04, Lake Success, NY 11042, Attention: Investor Relations.
