INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT
     This Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) is being filed by Penske Automotive Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), to amend and supplement the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed on May 6, 2010 (the “Schedule TO”), relating to the Company’s offer to purchase any and all of its issued and outstanding 3.5% Senior Subordinated Convertible Notes due 2026 (the “Convertible Notes”) for cash, at a purchase price equal to $1,020 per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes (the “Offer”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated May 6, 2010 (the “Offer to Purchase”) and the related Letter of Transmittal. This Amendment is intended to satisfy the reporting requirements of Rule 13e-4(c)(3) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Offer to Purchase was filed as Exhibit (a)(1)(i) to the Company’s Schedule TO filed on May 6, 2010.
Items 1 Through 11.
     The Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:
     The Company’s obligation to accept for payment, and to pay for, any Convertible Notes validly tendered pursuant to the Offer was subject to satisfaction of all the conditions described in the Offer to Purchase, including the successful completion of the offering of $200 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Subordinated Notes due 2020 (the “2020 Notes”) (referred to in the Offer to Purchase as the “Financing Condition”). On May 7, 2010, the Company announced that it has withdrawn its previously announced offering of the 2020 Notes due to unfavorable market conditions. Accordingly, pursuant to the terms of the Offer to Purchase, the Company terminated the Offer.
     The Consideration (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) will not be paid or become payable to the holders of the Convertible Notes who validly tendered their Convertible Notes in connection with the Offer. None of the Convertible Notes will be accepted for purchase or purchased in the Offer and any Convertible Notes previously tendered and not withdrawn will be promptly returned to their respective holders.
     The Company reserves the right, subject to applicable law, to make a new tender offer for the Convertible Notes at a later date if market conditions become more favorable.
     The Company’s press release, dated May 7, 2010, announcing the termination of the Offer and withdrawal of the offering of the 2020 Notes is filed as Exhibit (a)(5)(ii) hereto.
