Solera Holdings, Inc.

, a leading global provider of software and services to the automobile insurance claims processing and decision support industries, today announced that it has signed a definitive agreement to purchase equity interests in a parent company of Service Repair Solutions, Inc. ("SRS") from an affiliate of Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe ("Welsh Carson"), a leading private equity firm (the "Joint Venture"). The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including Hart-Scott-Rodino clearance, and is expected to close in Solera's second quarter of fiscal year 2014.
