Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On January 19, 2006, CCC Information Services Inc., a subsidiary of CCC Information Services Group Inc., and one of its customers signed a settlement agreement with the plaintiffs in a class action suit pending in the Second Judicial District Court of the State of Nevada. This suit, In re Pak, et al v Farmers Group, Inc. and Farmers Insurance Exchange, Case No. CV98-04873, relates to claims of a national class of customers insured by Farmers who made total loss claims during the period January 28, 1989 to January 20, 2006 for which Farmers obtained a valuation from CCC. This settlement includes no admission of liability or wrongdoing by CCC or its customer. In connection with the settlement, CCC has agreed to pay notice and administration fees and certain other costs associated with the settlement. The Company estimates that these costs will total approximately $2.9 million, consistent with the charge that the Company took in the third quarter of 2005 related to this matter. Other settlement costs, including claims by class members, will be paid by Farmers. The Court granted preliminary approval of the settlement on January 20, 2005, and the settlement remains subject to final Court approval. The Company anticipates that a final approval hearing will take place in September 2006. For additional information concerning this litigation, please see the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2005, June 30, 2005 and September 30, 2005.
