Item 8.01. Other Events.
 
On April 23, 2010, Equifax Inc. (the “Company”) sold its Equifax Enabling Technologies LLC legal entity, consisting of its APPRO loan origination software product line (“APPRO”), for approximately $72 million. On July 1, 2010, the Company completed the sale of its Direct Marketing Services division (“DMS”) for approximately $117 million. Both of these businesses have been accounted for as a discontinued operation, which requires that prior period information be recast to remove the results of operations of the disposed businesses from the results of the Company’s continuing operations. APPRO was reported as a discontinued operation in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 29, 2010 ("First Quarter 2010 10-Q"). DMS was reported as a discontinued operation in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 29, 2010.

The Company is recasting the presentation of its financial information for all periods presented in certain sections of its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 23, 2010 (“2009 Form 10-K”) to present APPRO and DMS as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Included in this Form 8-K are the following items recast solely to reflect the impact of discontinued operations on the Company’s consolidated financial information:
 
·
Exhibit 99.1 - Selected Financial Data (Part II, Item 6);
·
Exhibit 99.2 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) (Part II, Item 7); and
· 
Exhibit 99.3 - Financial Statements and Supplementary Data (Part II, Item 8).

The Company is also recasting the presentation of its financial information for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 presented in certain sections of its First Quarter 2010 10-Q to conform to the new reporting structure noted above. Included in this Form 8-K report are the following items recast solely to reflect the impact of discontinued operations on the Company’s consolidated financial information:

·
Exhibit 99.4 - Financial Statements (Part I, Item I); and
·
Exhibit 99.5 - MD&A (Part 1, Item 2).
