On February 13, 2018, TransUnion announced that its Board of Directors has approved a dividend policy, to which it intends to pay quarterly cash dividends on our common stock with a targeted annual payout of 10 to 15 percent of Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share, and the removal of the three-year time limitation on its previously announced $300 million stock repurchase program. The announcement was included in the press release furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1. TransUnion expects to commence paying dividends to this policy in the second quarter of 2018, subject to the approval of the Board of Directors at the times they are declared.

Open market purchases will be conducted in accordance with the limitations set forth in Rule 10b-18 of the Securities and Exchange Commission and other applicable legal requirements. The Company has no obligation to repurchase shares, and the timing, actual number and value of the shares that are repurchased, if any, will be at the discretion of management and will depend on a number of factors, including market conditions, the cost of repurchasing shares, the availability of alternative investment opportunities, liquidity, and other factors deemed appropriate. Repurchases may be suspended, terminated or modified at any time for any reason.
