Solera Completes Acquisition of Insurance Web Services Organization in the Netherlands

Industry leading portal links insurance companies with 4,500 employers and government agencies

SAN RAMON, CA — November 15, 2006 — ABZ, the Solera company operating in the Netherlands, today announced that it has completed its acquisition of CATO. CATO operates the country’s leading web portal that enables efficient information exchange between insurance carriers, their corporate clients, and government agencies. The acquisition enables ABZ to enter the medical information reporting segment, an emerging business segment in the Netherlands with significant global growth potential. This is Solera’s first acquisition since the purchase of Audatex from ADP in April 2006.

Peter van den Heuvel, CEO of ABZ, explains, "Solera’s willingness to support our service expansion by purchasing CATO answers a real customer need by automating a process that typically has been manual. It enables our insurance clients to file required reporting efficiently with improved quality and accuracy."

Tony Aquila, Founder, Chairman and CEO of Solera, added: "ABZ is leading the way in building global solutions that build collaboration and reduce friction in the claims process. CATO makes our insurance clients more efficient and enables our team in the Netherlands to provide better service to their customers."
