ASX STATEMENT quicksales.com.au to power TradingPost.com.au

August 30, 2012

carsales.com Ltd (ASX: CRZ) announces today that it and Telstra have entered into an agreement whereby Australia’s newest free classifieds business, quicksales.com.au, will licence the TradingPost.com.au brand and operate the TradingPost.com.au website.

Upon completion, the quicksales and TradingPost sites will feature aggregated inventories, providing TradingPost.com.au consumers with new ways to buy and sell.

quicksales.com.au will provide all transactional and publishing infrastructure along with carsales.com Ltd's industry leading product capability and security measures.

carsales.com Ltd CEO and Managing Director, Greg Roebuck, said the agreement was positive for the local classified marketplace.

“TradingPost.com.au, powered by quicksales.com.au, will tap into quicksales.com.au’s commitment to ongoing innovation. It will offer consumers more choice but what is also key is that it will enhance the Australian-owned alternative in 'free to list' classifieds.

“Recent years have seen large overseas players like the eBay-owned Gumtree enter the local classified space. This transaction will re-invigorate TradingPost.com.au and also bolster the operation of quicksales.com.au,” he said.

"The opportunity to combine an iconic brand like TradingPost.com.au with the level of capability carsales.com Ltd is known for comes along very rarely. It's great news for the general classified space," Mr Roebuck stated.

carsales expects that the arrangement will be EPS accretive in FY13 and will be funded by operating cash flow.

The agreement remains subject to the approval of the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (“ACCC approval”). Subject to ACCC approval, it is anticipated that the TradingPost.com.au powered by quicksales.com.au site will go live later this year.
