Pursuant to Rule 416(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), this Registration Statement also covers an indeterminate amount of additional Common Stock, which may be offered and issued to prevent dilution resulting from adjustments as a result of stock dividends, stock splits, reverse stock splits, recapitalizations, reclassifications, mergers, split-ups, reorganizations, consolidations and other capital adjustments.

(2)	Estimated pursuant to Rule 457(h) and Rule 457(c) under the Securities Act, solely for the purpose of calculating the registration fee, based on the average of the high and low prices of the Registrant’s Common Stock on September 8, 2020, as reported on the New York Stock Exchange.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

On May 12, 2020, the Company’s stockholders approved the amendment and restatement of the TransUnion 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan (as amended and restated, the “Plan”) to, among other things, increase the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan from 5,400,000 shares of Common Stock, which were previously authorized for issuance under the Plan (the “Carryover Shares”), to 12,400,000 shares of Common Stock, and extend the term of the Plan through the tenth anniversary of the date of such amendment and restatement. The Plan was approved by the Board of Directors on February 27, 2020, subject to stockholder approval. The Company is filing this Registration Statement in order to register under the Securities Act the additional 7,000,000 shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance under the Plan. The Carryover Shares were previously registered under the Registration Statements on Form S-8 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 25, 2015 (File No. 333-205239) and February 18, 2020 (File No. 333-236476) (together, the “Prior Registration Statements”).
