Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, under certain specified conditions, either party may terminate the Merger Agreement if the Merger has not been completed on or before June 14, 2017 (the “Outside Date”), subject to extension by either party for a period of up to three months if the required regulatory approvals have not been obtained by that date. On June 12, 2017, and in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, Neustar extended the Outside Date from June 14, 2017 to September 14, 2017.

On June 12, 2017, Neustar received written notification from the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (“CFIUS”) that it will not take action to prevent the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement from being consummated. Receipt of the written notification from CFIUS satisfies one of the conditions to the closing of the Merger, which remains subject to the receipt of approval from the Federal Communications Commission and the satisfaction or waiver of other customary closing conditions. Neustar continues to expect the Merger to be completed no later than the extended Outside Date.

This announcement contains forward-looking statements, including the expected timing of the closing of the transaction. These statements involve risks and uncertainties, and actual results could differ materially from those discussed.
