The securities to be registered include shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of TransUnion (“Common Stock”) and options and rights to acquire Common Stock issuable under the plan identified in footnote 2 below.
(2)
Covers 500,000 shares of Common Stock that were subject to awards previously granted under the TransUnion 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”) and that were (a) forfeited back to or otherwise reacquired by TransUnion because of a failure to meet a condition or contingency required to vest such shares, or (b) withheld (or not issued) to satisfy a tax withholding obligation in connection with the settlement of an award, which shares became available for future issuance pursuant to the terms of the 2015 Plan. Such shares of Common Stock were already registered on a prior Registration Statement on Form S-8 and do not represent an increase to the total number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to the 2015 Plan.
(3)
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.
(4)
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 February 13, 2020, as reported on the New York Stock Exchange.

EXPLANATORY NOTE
TransUnion’s Registration Statement on Form S-8 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 25, 2015 (File No. 333-205239) (the “Original Registration Statement”) is hereby incorporated by reference. By the Original Registration Statement, the Company registered 5,400,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, issuable under the TransUnion 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”).

Such shares of Common Stock were already registered on the Original Registration Statement and do not represent an increase to the total number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to the 2015 Plan.
Pursuant to General Instruction E to Form S-8, the contents of such earlier Registration Statement are incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement, except that the provisions contained in Part II of such earlier registration statement are modified as set forth in this Registration Statement.
