On April 22, 2009, the Compensation, Human Resources and Management Succession Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of Equifax Inc.

Mast, Corporate Vice President and Chief Legal Officer; and William W. Canfield, President, TALX.

 

The Committee approved the following annual stock option and restricted stock unit awards to the named executive officers effective as of April 24, 2009:

 

Named Executive Officer		Stock Options		Maximum Number of Restricted Stock Units
