Dear Valued Customer,

Today Neustar announced that we will become a private company, through an acquisition led by a private investment group of Golden Gate Capital (GGC) and GIC.

When we announced in June our intent to separate into two independent companies, our primary objective was to align the value of each business with its appropriate investors and to better align our resources to address your current and future needs.

With Golden Gate Capital (GGC) and GIC, we have found an investor group that recognizes the complementary nature of our assets and businesses. Most important, they share our vision and long-term strategic direction.

At a minimum, it’s business as usual for all our customers and partners. You will not experience any interruption to the delivery of the solutions and services you have come to expect.

Golden Gate Capital (GGC) and GIC are committed to continuing to invest and improve upon our industry-leading authoritative OneID identity system which connects people, places and things and powers our marketing, risk, security and communications solutions.

Moreover, we will benefit from Golden Gate Capital (GGC) and GIC’s long investment horizon and deep expertise in the information services, technology and software sectors. This will help us strengthen our competitive advantages and enable us to bring you additional innovative, market-leading solutions, solving your greatest problems.

The transaction, which is expected to close no later than the third calendar quarter of 2017, is subject to approval by Neustar shareholders, regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.

Should you have any questions please contact your account executive or call 1-844-677-2878.

We greatly value your business and look forward to our continued successful partnership.
