14. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
During the first quarter of 2013, we divested of two non-strategic business lines, Equifax Settlement Services which was part of our Mortgage business within the USCIS operating segment and Talent Management Services which was part of our Employer Services business within our Workforce Solutions operating segment, for a total of approximately $48 million. The historical results of these operations will be classified as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Income beginning in the first quarter of 2013. The net assets of these business lines did not meet the held for sale criteria as of December 31, 2012. |
