The rights plan operates to dilute the interests of any person or group attempting to take control of the Company if the attempt is not deemed by our Board of Directors to be in the best interests of our shareholders. Under the rights agreement, as originally adopted in October 1995 and amended and restated in October 2005, holders of our common stock were granted one right to purchase common stock, or Right, for each outstanding share of common stock held of record on November&#160;24, 1995. All newly issued shares of common stock since that date have been accompanied by a Right. The Rights will become exercisable and trade independently from our common stock if a person or group acquires or obtains the right to acquire 20% or more of Equifax&#8217;s outstanding shares of common stock, or commences a tender or exchange offer that would result in that person or group acquiring&#160;<font style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"> 20</font>% or more of the outstanding common stock, in each case without the consent of our Board. In the event the Rights become exercisable, each holder (other than the acquiring person or group) will be entitled to purchase that number of shares of securities or other property of Equifax having a market value equal to two times the exercise price of the Right. If Equifax were acquired in a merger or other business combination, each Right would entitle its holder to purchase the number of the acquiring company&#8217;s common stock having a market value of two times the exercise price of the Right. In either case, our Board may choose to redeem the Rights for $0.01 per Right before they become exercisable. The Rights will expire on November&#160;6, 2015, unless earlier redeemed, exchanged or amended by the Board.<font style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"></font><font style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"></font></font></font></div> </div> </div> <table border="0" style="width:100%; table-layout:fixed;" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tr><td></td></tr></table>

A significant portion of our revenue is derived from the provision of information services to our customers on a transaction basis, in which case revenue is recognized, assuming all other revenue recognition criteria are met, when the services are provided. A smaller portion of our revenues relates to subscription-based contracts under which a customer pays a preset fee for a predetermined or unlimited number of transactions or services provided during the subscription period, generally one year. Revenue related to subscription-based contracts having a preset number of transactions is recognized as the services are provided, using an effective transaction rate as the actual transactions are completed. Any remaining revenue related to unfulfilled units is not recognized until the end of the related contract&#8217;s subscription period. Revenue related to subscription-based contracts having an unlimited volume is recognized ratably during the contract term.

In these instances, we estimate transaction volumes based on average actual volumes reported in the past. Differences between our estimates and actual final volumes reported are recorded in the period in which actual volumes are reported. We have not experienced significant variances between our estimates and actual reported volumes in the past. We monitor actual volumes to ensure that we will continue to make reasonable estimates in the future. If we determine that we are unable to make reasonable future estimates, revenue may be deferred until actual customer data is obtained. Also within our Workforce Solutions operating segment, the fees for certain of our tax credits and incentives revenue are based on a portion of the credit delivered to our clients. Revenue for these arrangements is recognized based on the achievement of milestones, upon calculation of the credit, or when the credit is utilized by our client, depending on the provisions of the client contract.</font></div> <div style="CLEAR:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-JUSTIFY: inter-ideograph; LINE-HEIGHT: normal" align="justify"><font style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'"> &#160;</font></div> <div style="CLEAR:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal; TEXT-INDENT: 0.5in"> <font style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'">We have certain offerings that are sold as multiple element arrangements. The multiple elements may include consumer or commercial information, file updates for certain solutions, services provided by our decisioning technologies personnel, training services, statistical models and other services. To account for each of these elements separately, the delivered elements must have stand-alone value to our customer. For certain customer contracts, the total arrangement fee is allocated to the undelivered elements. If we are unable to unbundle the arrangement into separate units of accounting, we apply one of the accounting policies described above. This may lead to the arrangement consideration being recognized as the final contract element is delivered to our customer or ratably over the contract.</font></div> </div> <div style="CLEAR:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;MARGIN: 0pt 0px; FONT: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif "> &#160;</div> <div style="CLEAR:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal; TEXT-INDENT: 0.5in"> <font style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'">Many of our multiple element arrangements involve the delivery of services generated by a combination of services provided by one or more of our operating segments. No individual information service impacts the value or usage of other information services included in an arrangement and each service can be sold alone or, in most cases, purchased from another vendor without affecting the quality of use or value to the customer of the other information services included in the arrangement. Some of our products require the development of interfaces or platforms by our decisioning technologies personnel that allow our customers to interact with our proprietary information databases. These development services do not meet the requirement for having stand-alone value, thus any related development fees are deferred when billed and are recognized over the expected period that the customer will benefit from the related decisioning technologies service. Revenue from the provision of statistical models is recognized as the service is provided and accepted, assuming all other revenue recognition criteria are met. The direct costs of set up of a customer are capitalized and amortized as a cost of service during the term of the related customer contract.</font></div> <div style="CLEAR:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-JUSTIFY: inter-ideograph; LINE-HEIGHT: normal" align="justify"><font style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'"> &#160;</font></div> <div style="CLEAR:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal; TEXT-INDENT: 0.5in"> <font style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'">We have some multiple element arrangements that include software.&#160;&#160;We recognize the elements for which we have established vendor specific objective evidence at fair value upon delivery, in accordance with the applicable guidance.</font></div> <div style="CLEAR:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-JUSTIFY: inter-ideograph; LINE-HEIGHT: normal" align="justify"><font style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'"> &#160;</font></div> <div style="CLEAR:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal; TEXT-INDENT: 0.5in"> <font style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'">We record revenue on a net basis for those sales in which we have in substance acted as an agent or broker in the transaction.</font></div> <div style="CLEAR:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-JUSTIFY: inter-ideograph; LINE-HEIGHT: normal" align="justify"><font style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'"> &#160;</font></div> <div style="CLEAR:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal; TEXT-INDENT: 0.5in"> <font style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'">Deferred revenue consists of amounts billed in excess of revenue recognized on sales of our information services relating generally to the deferral of subscription fees and arrangement consideration from elements not meeting the criteria for having stand-alone value discussed above.

CY2013 efx Stockholder Rights Plan Description
StockholderRightsPlanDescription
Our Board of Directors has adopted a shareholder rights plan designed to protect our shareholders against abusive takeover attempts and tactics. The rights plan operates to dilute the interests of any person or group attempting to take control of the Company if the attempt is not deemed by our Board of Directors to be in the best interests of our shareholders. Under the rights agreement, as originally adopted in October 1995 and amended and restated in October 2005, holders of our common stock were granted one right to purchase common stock, or Right, for each outstanding share of common stock held of record on November24, 1995. All newly issued shares of common stock since that date have been accompanied by a Right. The Rights will become exercisable and trade independently from our common stock if a person or group acquires or obtains the right to acquire 20% or more of Equifaxs outstanding shares of common stock, or commences a tender or exchange offer that would result in that person or group acquiring20% or more of the outstanding common stock, in each case without the consent of our Board. In the event the Rights become exercisable, each holder (other than the acquiring person or group) will be entitled to purchase that number of shares of securities or other property of Equifax having a market value equal to two times the exercise price of the Right. If Equifax were acquired in a merger or other business combination, each Right would entitle its holder to purchase the number of the acquiring companys common stock having a market value of two times the exercise price of the Right. In either case, our Board may choose to redeem the Rights for $0.01 per Right before they become exercisable. The Rights will expire on November6, 2015, unless earlier redeemed, exchanged or amended by the Board.
