Explanation of Responses:
( 1)  Phantom stock is reported in units vs. shares in the D&B Common Stock Fund of the issuer's non-employee directors' deferred compensation plan (the "Plan").
( 2)  Each phantom stock unit entitles the reporting person to a cash payment based on the value on the payout date of the issuer's common stock corresponding to such units. Based on the $121.84 closing price of the issuer's common stock on the transaction date, one share of common stock corresponds to approximately 2.68 units.
( 3)  The reporting person may transfer these phantom stock units to alternative investment funds in the Plan beginning three years from the transaction date.
( 4)  These phantom stock units are payable in cash after the reporting person ceases to be a member of the issuer's board of directors.
