<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-indent: 0.5in">The Committee determined that the Company&rsquo;s
long-term incentive program should be changed to more closely align equity awards with the Company&rsquo;s total shareholder return
<I>(&ldquo;TSR&rdquo;</I>) performance (stock price appreciation plus reinvested dividends) relative to the TSR of the companies
included in the S&amp;P 500 stock index as constituted on the initial grant date of the Performance Shares (subject to certain
adjustments, the &ldquo;comparator group&rdquo;), measured cumulatively over a three-year period with final payout determined by
the Committee based on the Company&rsquo;s average cumulative TSR percentile ranking over the last four quarters of this period.
The companies included in the S&amp;P 500 stock index were selected because the Company views the other companies in the S&amp;P
500 stock index as the principal competition for our shareholders&rsquo; investment dollars.</P>

executive officers (the &ldquo;NEOs&rdquo;) and other eligible senior executives will receive one-half or more of their target
long-term incentive award in the form of Performance Shares and the remainder in the form of RSUs cliff vesting three years from
the grant date. The Performance Shares will be earned and pay out in shares of our common stock, if at all, based on the Company&rsquo;s
TSR performance compared to the comparator group over a three-year period. The payout will be computed based on the Company&rsquo;s
average cumulative percentile ranking over the last four quarters of the three-year performance period. Payout of these awards
will range from zero to 200% of the target number of shares awarded to each NEO, with 200% earned if the Company&rsquo;s TSR performance
is at or above the 90<SUP>th</SUP> percentile of the comparator group; 150% earned at the 70<SUP>th</SUP> percentile; 100% earned
at the 50<SUP>th</SUP> percentile; 50% earned at the 30<SUP>th</SUP> percentile; and 0% below the 30<SUP>th</SUP> percentile, with

Item 5.02
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensation Arrangements of Certain Officers.
Effective February 10, 2012, the Compensation,
Human Resources and Management Succession Committee (the "Committee") of the Board of Directors of Equifax Inc. (the
"Company") granted Performance Share awards (the "Performance Shares") and time-vested restricted stock
unit awards ("RSUs") under the Company's 2008 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "2008 Plan"), to certain
executive employees, including the following named executive officers ("NEOs") in the amounts indicated below:

The Committee determined that the Company's
long-term incentive program should be changed to more closely align equity awards with the Company's total shareholder return
("TSR"
) performance (stock price appreciation plus reinvested dividends) relative to the TSR of the companies
included in the S&P 500 stock index as constituted on the initial grant date of the Performance Shares (subject to certain
adjustments, the "comparator group"), measured cumulatively over a three-year period with final payout determined by
the Committee based on the Company's average cumulative TSR percentile ranking over the last four quarters of this period.
The companies included in the S&P 500 stock index were selected because the Company views the other companies in the S&P
500 stock index as the principal competition for our shareholders' investment dollars.
Beginning in 2012, the Company's named
executive officers (the "NEOs") and other eligible senior executives will receive one-half or more of their target
long-term incentive award in the form of Performance Shares and the remainder in the form of RSUs cliff vesting three years from
the grant date. The Performance Shares will be earned and pay out in shares of our common stock, if at all, based on the Company's
TSR performance compared to the comparator group over a three-year period. The payout will be computed based on the Company's
average cumulative percentile ranking over the last four quarters of the three-year performance period. Payout of these awards
will range from zero to 200% of the target number of shares awarded to each NEO, with 200% earned if the Company's TSR performance
is at or above the 90
th
percentile of the comparator group; 150% earned at the 70
th
percentile; 100% earned
at the 50
th
percentile; 50% earned at the 30
th
percentile; and 0% below the 30
th
percentile, with
straight-line interpolation between percentile points.
The foregoing summary is qualified in
its entirety by reference to the actual terms of the 2008 Plan, the form of TSR Performance Share Award Agreement attached
hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and the form of Qualified Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement, attached hereto as
Exhibit 10.2. Also filed herewith  to the form of Employee Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit
10.3.
