Stephen Polk to Provide China Automotive Market Insight at
GlobalAutoIndustry.com Conference

SOUTHFIELD, Mich., June 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Stephen Polk, chairman, president
and chief executive officer of R. L. Polk & Co. will keynote
GlobalAutoIndustry.com's "China: Key Strategies for Succeeding in its Auto
Industry" conference on June 18. The conference will address important issues
surrounding the expansion of the automotive industry in the Chinese market and
how companies can succeed in their efforts.

Polk will be discussing several items of importance to companies wishing to
conduct or conducting business in China, including the impact of the global
financial situation on the market, the government-offered automotive stimulus
package and its impact in the region, current OEM market share in China,
demographic and regional variances and Polk's new car market forecast for
China.

"China's recent increase in auto sales has been primarily due to the central
part of the country which has seen a 38.4 percent year over year growth in the
first four months of 2009," said Polk. "With the rapid growth of the
automotive industry in China, it is extremely important for executives to
review and understand the regional trends while seeking to build their
business in the region," he continued.

"Stephen's exemplary leadership and knowledge of the global automotive
industry will be a great asset to the conference," said Ron Hesse, president
and chief executive officer of GlobalAutoIndustry.com. "We are pleased to host
him as our keynote speaker for the event and are confident attendees will
benefit from his presentation on the China market."

The conference also will include presentations on numerous topics including
tax planning for China operations, leadership recruitment and cultural
challenges of doing business in China. The conference will take place at the
MSU Management Education Center in Troy from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. on June 18.
