Item 7.01

Regulation FD Disclosure.

In connection with the Offering (defined in Item 8.01 of this report), Verra Mobility Corporation (the “Company”) is providing investors with certain information that has not been previously publicly reported, including  the following unaudited calculation of the non-GAAP measure of Free cash flow with the following table setting forth its reconciliation of Net cash provided from operating activities and Purchases of installation and service parts and property and equipment to Free cash flow for the year ended December 31:

Free cash flow is not prepared in accordance with financial measures calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools. Because of these limitations, non-GAAP financial measures may be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for or superior to GAAP results. The Company’s definition of Free cash flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies and may, therefore, have limitations as a comparative analytical tool.

The information furnished in this Item 7.01 is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as may be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing. The furnishing of this report is not intended to constitute a determination by the Company that the information is material or that dissemination of the information is required by Regulation FD.

Item 8.01

Other Events.

A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

The Notes and related guarantees have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), any state securities laws or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction.
