If shareholders do not keep their address of record current, dividend, Form 1099-DIV and other notices cannot be delivered. If dividend checks are not cashed and there has not been any contact with Equifax or its transfer agent for a certain number of years depending on the state of last known residence, those dividends and shares can be considered abandoned property. The state of last known residence can claim the uncashed dividends and shares. In order to reclaim the dividends and shares, the shareholder must file a claim with the state holding dividends and/or shares. Because this can be a lengthy process, it is vital that the Company always have a correct, current address for each shareholder of record.

Shareholders may want to consider having their dividends reinvested through the Investor's Service Plan or utilizing the electronic direct payment feature if they do not want to receive dividend checks.

Occasionally, duplicate shareholder accounts are created due to a variation in name, initials, or addresses. Shareholders who wish to combine multiple accounts into a single account may do so by contacting American Stock Transfer, or complete our Request for Information/Help Form.

If a certificate is lost, stolen or destroyed, please notify American Stock Transfer immediately or complete the Request for Information/Help Form immediately. A stop transfer will be placed on the certificate and you will be mailed the forms to obtain a replacement certificate. Please be aware, you will be charged a $75.00 processing fee, plus a fee of 4% of the market value of the lost certificate will be charged by the bonding company to purchase an indemnity bond, which is required to replace the lost certificate.

Each shareholder should record the exact cost paid for the initial stock represented by each certificated share or book-entry share or retain the confirmation of stock purchase from the bank or broker. This information is not on record at either Equifax or American Stock Transfer.

Following are instructions for transferring your Equifax common stock. A transfer includes any change in the registration of your certificate and/or book entry shares held in the Investor's Service Plan.

Basic Requirements. Follow the procedures for all types of transfers:
1. Sign the back of the stock certificate(s) and/or stock power exactly as the stock is issued. You must have the signature(s) guaranteed by an Eligible Guarantor Institution such as a commercial bank, trust company, securities broker/dealer, credit union or savings association participating in a Medallion program approved by The Securities Transfer Association, Inc.

2. Attach a letter of instruction specifying how you want the shares reissued, including:

• Name and address of new owner(s); and
• Social Security or taxpayer identification number to be used to report dividends to the Internal Revenue Service.

Please Note: Complete the Request for Information / Help Form to transfer shares held in the Investor's Service Plan.

We recommend that you send all documents via registered mail with return receipt requested. When mailing stock certificates, they should be insured for 2% of their market value, plus $50.00 processing fee since this would be your cost to have the certificates replaced in the event they are lost in the mail. Forward to our transfer agent, American Stock Transfer.
