Item 8.01 Other Events.

Recent Developments

Transactions in Brazil

Effective August 9, 2013, FleetCor Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) acquired VB Servicos, Comercio e Administracao LTDA (“VB”), a leading provider of transportation cards and vouchers in Brazil. On August 26, 2013, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire DB Trans S.A. (“DB”), a leading provider of payment solutions for independent truckers in Brazil. In addition, the Company has signed a long term fuel card marketing agreement with Good Card, a leading Brazilian fuel card network operator, to issue fuel cards which operate in Good Card’s network of accepting merchants in Brazil. In total, the Company expects to invest over $300 million in these acquisitions, which will be financed with a combination of existing cash and borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility. The Company’s acquisition of DB is expected to close during the third quarter of 2013 subject to customary conditions.

VB is a leading provider of transportation cards (or vale transporte) in Brazil where employers are required by legislation to provide certain employees with prepaid public transportation cards to subsidize their commuting expenses. VB serves over 35,000 business clients, has approximately one million employees, and supports approximately 800 transportation agencies across Brazil. VB also markets food cards through an agreement with Edenred. DB is a leading provider of prepaid toll, fuel, and payroll card programs for transportation companies in Brazil. Good Card is accepted at approximately 40% of Brazil’s gas stations. The Company’s agreement with Good Card provides the Company with the rights to issue a market-leading fuel card program to the significant number of small and medium enterprises in Brazil.

Other Potential Acquisitions

The Company continues to actively pursue acquisitions of other businesses with business models that the Company believes are attractive in the Company’s current markets and other markets that the Company believes are attractive. The Company continues to discuss and negotiate potential acquisitions in the Americas, Europe and the Asia Pacific region. The Company currently has signed definitive documentation for one potential acquisition and has entered into a letter of intent for another. The potential aggregate purchase price for these potential acquisitions equals approximately $400 million, which the Company expects would be funded with cash on hand and borrowings under the Company’s credit facilities. These potential acquisitions remain subject to the satisfactory completion of due diligence, negotiation and resolution of business and legal issues, negotiation and, as applicable, completion of mutually satisfactory definitive agreements and corporate approvals by the parties. The Company cannot provide assurance if or when these potential acquisitions might be completed on acceptable terms or at all.
