Dear Stockholder,

We need your assistance and appreciate your attention to this important matter.  We have previously sent you proxy materials for our Annual Meeting of Stockholders, which was held on June 20, 2013.  In order to be able to take action on Proposal 3, to approve an amendment to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation to clarify the authority of the Board of Directors to fix the voting rights of any preferred stock issued under the Certificate of Incorporation's existing preferred stock authorization provision, a majority of the shares outstanding had to be present and have voted FOR this proposal.  As we did not have sufficient shares voted FOR this proposal, to be able to satisfy this requirement, we adjourned the meeting related to this proposal only until 4:00 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time on July 3, 2013 at the company's offices listed above.

PLEASE VOTE TODAY!

Please help Autobytel avoid the expense of further solicitation by voting TODAY by returning the enclosed proxy card in the postpaid envelope provided.  You can also fax [(212) 929-0308] or email (proxy@mackenziepartners.com) back your signed and dated proxy card.

Your Participation is Important —Please Vote Today!

If you have any questions relating to the voting of your shares, please call our proxy solicitors, MacKenzie Partners, Inc., at (212) 929-5500 (collect) or at (800) 322-2885 (toll free in North America).  If you reside outside North America, you may also call +44 (0) 203 178 8059.

Thank you in advance for your support.

Sincerely,

Autobytel Inc.
