MISSISSAUGA, Ontario, August 15, 2002 Mr. James Matthews, CEO of CCC Internet Solutions Inc.
�CCC� (TSX Venture Exchange: CIS 11,061,233 shares outstanding) is pleased to announce that ING has
signed a Formal Service Agreement with CCC�s Insurance division 43r.ca after successful completion of
its initial 3-month pilot program.
ING Canada, through its property and casualty insurance affiliates – ING Insurance Company of Canada,
ING Novex, ING Western Union and BELAIRdirect – is one of Canada�s largest home and car insurers.
�We feel that having ING as one of our clients clearly marks the beginning of an industry-wide shift. We
see the adoption of our 43r.ca claims savings program quickly becoming standard industry practice�, said
Company President Paul Timoteo.
According to Mr. Don Lough, President, Property and Casualty Insurance for ING Canada, the pilot
program was an overwhelming success and its results handily exceeded our expectations. �43r.ca clearly
demonstrated the tremendous value that they can bring to our business�, said Mr. Lough. �We are very
excited about the program and are looking forward to a solid long-term relationship with CCC Internet
Solutions Inc.�
Launched in January 2002, the Company�s 43r.ca Division assists automobile insurance companies and
their insured�s with the efficient and cost-effective replacement of damaged vehicles pursuant to the
�43r/waiver of depreciation� endorsement of automobile insurance policies.
Currently, 43r.ca is generating revenue from multiple users and has signed Service Agreements with
Allstate Insurance and Peel Mutual Insurance. Now having secured the ING contract, management at
43r.ca will focus its efforts towards completing other vendor agreements that are currently being
negotiated. We look forward to reporting this progress as it occurs.
Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed, however revenue from the ING contract is deemed
materially significant to 43r.ca and CCC Internet Solutions Inc.
Throughout 2002 “CCC” will continue to focus on the ongoing and aggressive expansion plans of its
multiple revenue streams, enhancement of its Web sites and the move toward sustained profitability.
