Subject Company: Boa Vista Serviços S.A.

Dear [investor],

I am excited to share that we have completed the acquisition of Boa Vista Serviços (“BVS”), the second largest consumer credit bureau in Brazil, following BVS shareholder approval and the satisfaction of customary closing conditions for R$8.00 per share, implying an estimated total enterprise value of R$3.1 billion, or USD$640 million based on a USD/BRL exchange rate of 4.8080 (PTAX as of August 2, 2023). Boa Vista Serviços, an Equifax company, is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Equifax do Brasil (“Equifax Brasil”). Equifax owns 80 percent of Equifax Brasil, with Associação Comercial de São Paulo (“ACSP”) and certain other former Boa Vista Serviços shareholders holding the other 20 percent.

Strategic, bolt-on acquisitions that strengthen the core of EFX are central to our EFX2025 growth priorities and BVS is the 14th acquisition that Equifax has signed or completed since 2021. This acquisition marks an exciting new global chapter for both Equifax and BVS customers and employees, expanding the EFX International footprint in the large and fast-growing $2 billion Brazilian total addressable market. Given the size of the transaction, we plan to pause on M&A activity for the second half of 2023—to focus on integration of BVS and our 2021 and 2022 acquisitions. We plan to use excess free cash flow over the coming quarters to pay down debt and reduce our leverage.

This strategic and financially attractive acquisition in the fast growing Brazil market will deliver attractive financial returns. BVS will add approximately $160 million of run-rate revenue to EFX and we expect the transaction to be slightly accretive in year one to adjusted EPS. The 2023 guidance we provided in July does not include BVS, and we will provide more details on our expectations on our October earnings call.

With an in-depth understanding of global credit needs, Equifax is driving cloud-based innovation in consumer credit, commercial credit, and digital enablement that spans geographies. The company’s Equifax Cloud^™ transformation enables Equifax to scale and adapt for the specific needs of the countries in which it operates. It further enables the sharing of learnings and strengths from each region to help other regions identify and execute effectively on new growth opportunities. The Equifax Cloud, combined with our unique data assets, leading decisioning and analytical solutions, and award-winning Identity and Fraud solutions will help accelerate the BVS digital transformation and increase the scale of the BVS business for continued success—meeting the evolving needs of both consumers and lenders in Brazil.

Please reach out to me directly if you have any questions. Equifax knows the BVS business and Brazilian market well from our investments in the market over the past 11 years, and we are energized to move forward serving our customers and consumers in Brazil.

Best regards,

Trevor Burns
