This Amendment No. 1 amends and supplements the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 of Global Traffic Network, Inc. (“ Global ”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”) on August 9, 2011 (the “ Schedule 14D-9 ”). The Schedule 14D-9 relates to the tender offer by GTCR Gridlock Acquisition Sub, Inc., a Nevada corporation and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of GTCR Gridlock Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, which is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of GTCR Gridlock Holdings (Cayman), L.P., a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership, disclosed in the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed with the SEC on August 9, 2011, to purchase all of Global’s outstanding Shares for $14.00 per Share, payable net to the seller in cash without interest thereon, less any applicable withholding taxes, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in Purchaser’s Offer to Purchase, dated August 9, 2011 (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “ Offer to Purchase ”), and in the related Letter of Transmittal (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “ Letter of Transmittal ”). Copies of the Offer to Purchase and the Letter of Transmittal were filed with the Schedule 14D-9 as Exhibits (a)(1)(A) and (a)(1)(B), respectively.

Capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Schedule 14D-9.

Item 4. Persons/Assets Retained, Employed, Compensated Or Used .

Item 4 of the Schedule 14D-9 is hereby revised by amending and restating in its entirety the second bullet of the subsection entitled “Other Factors” on page 23 under “Item 4(b). The Solicitation Or Recommendation – Reasons for the Recommendation of the Special Committee and Global’s Board of Directors” to read as follows:

Going Concern Valuation . The Special Committee believes that each of Moelis’ valuation methodologies ( i.e. , Selected Publicly Traded Companies Analysis, Selected Transactions Analysis, and Discounted Cash Flow Analysis, as each is more fully described in “Item 5(a). Persons/Assets Retained, Employed, Compensated Or Used – Opinion of the Financial Advisor to the Special Committee”) represents potential valuations of Global as it continues to operate its business, and, to that extent, the Special Committee collectively characterized such analyses as forms of going concern valuations. The Special Committee considered each of these analyses in the context of the other financial analyses performed by Moelis in the preparation of its opinion, and, in that regard, such analyses were principal factors as detailed above in the Special Committee’s fairness determination.”

Item 5. Persons/Assets Retained, Employed, Compensated Or Used .

Item 5 of the Schedule 14D-9 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following sentence at the end of the second paragraph under “Item 5. Persons/Assets Retained, Employed, Compensated or Used – Opinion of the Financial Advisor to the Special Committee”:

“Moelis has consented to our disclosure of its opinion attached as Annex B to this Schedule 14D-9.”
