US District Court Grants Request for Preliminary Injunction in the CCC-Mitchell Merger

CHICAGO, IL and SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwire - March 9, 2009) - Today the U.S. Federal District Court in the District of Columbia granted the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) request for a preliminary injunction, enjoining CCC Information Services Inc. and Mitchell International, Inc. from closing their previously announced merger, pending resolution of the FTC's administrative trial currently set to commence March 31, 2009.

"We are disappointed with the Court's decision to grant the preliminary injunction. Both CCC and Mitchell maintain our belief that the merger will deliver significant benefits to customers while maintaining an already competitive automotive claims marketplace. As agreed to with Mitchell, both companies intend to review the Court's decision in depth and together assess the appropriate next steps," stated Githesh Ramamurthy, Chairman and CEO of CCC Information Services Inc.

Alex Sun, President and CEO of Mitchell International, Inc., added: "There are a number of factors that both companies need to consider, including the interests of our customers, as we contemplate next steps. These deliberations are an obvious high priority for both organizations. We appreciate the patience and support of our many valued customers and employees and will be communicating our intentions as quickly as possible."
