1 July 2016 - Experian plc, the global information services company, announced on 11 May 2016 a second interim dividend of 27.5 US cents per ordinary share payable on 22 July 2016 to shareholders on the register of members at the close of business on 24 June 2016.  The Company now announces that the £/$ exchange rate to be used to convert the dividend payment from US dollars to sterling pounds, for those shareholders who did not elect by 24 June 2016 to receive payment in US dollars, will be £1 = $1.3265. Accordingly, the sterling amount of dividend payable on 22 July 2016 to such shareholders will be approximately 20.7312 pence per share.

Shareholders who did not elect to receive UK sourced dividends through the income access share arrangements are reminded that, as previously advised, their dividends will be subject to Irish dividend withholding tax unless the Company's Registrars are in possession of a valid exemption form. As previously advised, the final date for submission of elections to receive UK sourced dividends via the income access share arrangements was 24 June 2016. In the absence of any such elections, previous elections or deemed elections will remain in force.
