Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On November 28, 2006, ChoicePoint Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its Board of Directors’ decision to retain the Company’s marketing services business. A copy of this press release is being filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference into this item 2.02.

The press release presented non-GAAP financial information such as projected operating profit margins from continuing operations excluding other charges (which is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles), which the Company believes is useful for investors to compare the Company’s projected full-year 2006 results from continuing operations excluding the effect of other charges to prior years. This data is also used by the Company for assessment of its operating results.
