news release

Update on proposed ClearScore acquisition

28 November 2018 - Experian is disappointed by the Provisional Findings published today by the UK Competition and Markets Authority ("CMA"). We continue to strongly believe that the acquisition of ClearScore will have a positive impact on competition, allowing Experian to help more consumers with their finances by providing greater choice and convenience to them to access personal finance products at the best prices.

We also believe we will be able innovate more and better through the combination of the parties' complementary assets and innovation cultures. We will continue to engage constructively with the CMA over the weeks ahead to seek to address its concerns ahead of publication of the CMA's final report early in the new year.
