    CHICAGO, Aug. 5 -- CCC Information Services Group Inc.
, the leading provider of solutions for the automotive claims
industry, today announced that its Board of Directors has authorized an
increase in the number of shares to be repurchased under a plan originally

which had obtained the shares from Mr. David Phillips, Chairman of CCC.  To
date, 2,663,190 shares have been repurchased under the plan and with this

increased by 1,500,000 shares.
    Githesh Ramamurthy, Chief Executive Officer, commenting on the Board's
actions, said, "The Board of Directors has authorized these increases in the
share repurchase program because it believes the stock is currently priced at
a level that represents a very attractive investment."
    CCC currently has 23.6 million shares outstanding and is traded on the
Nasdaq national market under the symbol CCCG.
