This Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment No. 1”) amends and supplements the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 filed by Dealertrack Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on June 26, 2015 (as amended and supplemented from time to time, the “Schedule 14D-9”). The Schedule 14D-9 relates to the tender offer by Runway Acquisition Co. (“Acquisition Sub”), a subsidiary of Cox Automotive, Inc. (“Parent”), to purchase all of the Company’s outstanding common stock, par value of $0.01 per share (the “Shares”) for $63.25 per Share, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase of Parent and Acquisition Sub dated June 26, 2015, and in the related Letter of Transmittal, as each may be amended or supplemented from time to time.

 

Except as otherwise set forth below, the information set forth in the Schedule 14D-9 remains unchanged and is incorporated herein by reference as relevant to items in this Amendment No. 1. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 14D-9.

 

Item 8. Additional Information to be Furnished.

 

Item 8 of the Schedule 14D-9 is hereby amended and supplemented by inserting after the end of the subsection entitled “Regulatory Approvals—U.S. Antitrust Laws” the disclosure set forth below:

 

“Certain Litigation

 

On July 6, 2015, Jeremy Hoff, a purported stockholder of the Company, filed a putative stockholder class action complaint (the “Hoff Complaint”) in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware against the members of the Board, the Company, Parent and Acquisition Sub. The Hoff Complaint alleges that, among other things, (i) each member of the Board breached his or her fiduciary duties to the Company’s stockholders in connection with the Transactions and (ii) Acquisition Sub and Parent allegedly aided and abetted those breaches. The suit seeks, among other things, declaration as a class action, an order enjoining the Offer, rescission of the Offer if it has already been consummated or the award of rescissory damages, an accounting by defendants to plaintiff and other members of the class for all damages allegedly caused by them and an award of the costs related to the action, including attorneys’ and experts’ fees. The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Hoff Complaint, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit (a)(5)(B) to this Schedule 14D-9.

 

The Company and the Board believe the allegations are without merit. However, a negative outcome in the suit could have a material adverse effect on the Company if it results in preliminary or permanent injunctive relief or rescission of the Merger Agreement. The Company is not currently able to predict the outcome of the suit with any certainty. Additional suits arising out of or relating to the Transactions may be filed in the future. If additional similar complaints are filed, absent new or different allegations that are material, the Company will not necessarily announce such additional filings.”

 

Item 9. Material to be Filed as Exhibits.

 

Item 9 of the Schedule 14D-9 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding to the list of Exhibits immediately following the Exhibit listed as Exhibit (a)(5)(A) the Exhibit as follows:

 

(a)(5)(B) Complaint filed by Jeremy Hoff in the Delaware Court of Chancery, dated July 6, 2015.

 

 

SIGNATURE

 

After due inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth in this Statement is true, complete and correct.

 

Dated: July 8, 2015
