This Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (this “Schedule TO”) relates to the offer by OC Acquisition Company, a Delaware corporation (“OC Acquisition”) and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of O’Reilly Automotive, Inc., a Missouri corporation (“O’Reilly”), for each outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), including the associated common stock purchase rights, of CSK Auto Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“CSK”), in exchange for (i) between 0.3673 and 0.4285 of a share of common stock of O’Reilly and (ii) $1.00 in cash, subject to possible reduction, as described below, on the terms and conditions contained in the Prospectus, dated June 11, 2008 (the “Prospectus”), and the related Letter of Transmittal (which, together with any amendments or supplements thereto, collectively constitute the “Offer”). The number of shares of O’Reilly common stock received for each tendered share of Common Stock, together with the associated rights to purchase Common Stock issued pursuant to the Rights Agreement, dated February 4, 2008, between CSK and Mellon Investor Services LLC (“common stock purchase rights” and, together with the Common Stock, the “Shares”), will be determined based on an exchange ratio equal to $11.00 divided by the average of the reported closing sale prices of O’Reilly common stock for the five (5) consecutive trading days ending on and including the second trading day prior to the consummation of the offer and rounded to four decimal places; provided, however, that if such average closing sale price of O’Reilly stock is greater than $29.95, then the exchange ratio shall equal 0.3673, and if such average closing sale price is less than $25.67, then the exchange ratio shall equal 0.4285. The $1.00 in cash received per Share will be subject to reduction for costs in excess of $3,000,000, if any, incurred by CSK associated with obtaining any necessary waivers or consents under CSK’s credit agreements prior to the completion of the Offer. CSK has indicated to O’Reilly that, as of the date of the Prospectus, CSK does not anticipate obtaining any waivers or consents under its credit agreements prior to the anticipated completion of the Offer.

The Offer is made pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 1, 2008 (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”), among O’Reilly, OC Acquisition and CSK, which contemplates the merger of OC Acquisition with and into CSK (the “Merger”) following the consummation of the Offer. If necessary to preserve the intended treatment of the Offer and the Merger as a tax-free reorganization for United States federal income tax purposes, O’Reilly will cause CSK to merge, immediately after the Merger, with and into a direct, wholly-owned, limited liability company subsidiary of O’Reilly that is treated as a disregarded entity for United States federal income tax purposes. O’Reilly has filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on Form S-4 relating to the O’Reilly Shares to be issued to the stockholders of CSK (other than O’Reilly) in the Offer and the Merger (the “Registration Statement”).

The terms and conditions of the Offer and the Merger are set forth in the Prospectus and in the related Letter of Transmittal, copies of which are Exhibits (a)(1) and (a)(2) hereto, respectively.

All of the information set forth in the Prospectus and the related Letter of Transmittal, and any prospectus supplement or other supplement thereto filed with the SEC by O’Reilly, is hereby incorporated by reference in response to all items in this Schedule TO, except as otherwise set forth below.
