The best-fit photodynamical model of KIC 4862625 predicting the center times for transits 2 through 9 to within rms of 3 hours. The model supports a primary star of 1.47  M and 1.7  R radius. All simulated planetary transits fit to within two data points of the measured values of both the durations and the midtransit times. Future events will allow us to further constrain the characteristics of the system. The orbital and physical parameters of the system are outlined in Table 4.
