INTERACTIVE DATA HUMAN RESOURCES

Q&A FOR EMPLOYEES

General

Silver Lake and Warburg Pincus bring a fresh, long-term perspective to the Company and support our investments in our products, infrastructure and people in ways that will enhance our value proposition and accelerate our growth. We expect that, over the longer term, these investments will facilitate the continued expansion of our business and that these investments will continue to make the Company a great place to work and advance a career.

Interactive Data’s growth strategy to date has combined strategic acquisitions with organic expansion, which has enabled us to enhance our range of offerings, broaden our content, extend our global reach and deliver an increasingly compelling and relevant value proposition to clients worldwide.

Silver Lake and Warburg Pincus believe strongly in the long-term growth potential for Interactive Data. They plan to support continued investment in key product areas across our organization. In combination with pursuing strategic partnerships and acquisitions, Silver Lake and Warburg Pincus look forward to promoting the continued expansion of Interactive Data’s global business, strengthening our leadership position in the industry and delivering increased value to customers worldwide.

We don’t expect clients to face any significant changes, including in products/services offered, levels of service and contact people at Interactive Data, among other areas.

Silver Lake and Warburg Pincus are committed to growing the value of their investment in Interactive Data over the long term. We can’t comment specifically on any potential exit strategy related to the planned ownership of Interactive Data by Silver Lake and Warburg Pincus.

Workforce

There are no immediate plans in this regard. Silver Lake and Warburg Pincus believe strongly in the long-term growth potential for Interactive Data. They plan to support continued investment in key product areas across our organization. In addition, they plan to work closely with management to continue driving operating synergies across our global organization, and in ensuring that we remain disciplined with respect to managing the cost base of our business.

Interactive Data’s headquarters will remain in Bedford, Mass. There are currently no plans in place to close any of the Company’s offices.

Ray will continue to lead Interactive Data as president and CEO.

Silver Lake and Warburg Pincus will work with management to nurture the Company, drive growth and determine the best strategic approach to retaining key talent.

Interactive Data plans to continue to recruit talent over time. This will be an important element of Silver Lake’s and Warburg Pincus’ strategy to invest in growth. Silver Lake and Warburg Pincus will work with Interactive Data’s management team to determine which areas will see increased staffing levels and we will make any decisions about staffing levels accordingly. The Company will provide additional details when it is appropriate to do so.

There are no immediate plans in this regard. Silver Lake and Warburg Pincus are committed to engaging with management to nurture the Company and drive growth.

Compensation and Benefits

We do not anticipate any changes to these compensation plans for 2010. We routinely review all of our compensation plans to ensure that they are properly aligned with business objectives, are competitive, and properly recognize, motivate and reward employees for their contributions to Interactive Data’s success. We expect that this will continue to be the case under new ownership.

All stock options outstanding at the time of the closing of the acquisition, whether vested or unvested, will be exchanged for a payment per share equal to the positive difference, if any, between the purchase price of $33.86 per share and the exercise price per share. This payment, less any applicable withholding taxes, will be made upon or shortly after the closing date, which is expected to occur by the end of the third quarter of 2010.

All RSUs and DSUs outstanding at the time of the closing of the acquisition will be exchanged for a payment per share equal to $33.86. This payment, less any applicable withholding taxes, will be made upon or shortly after the closing date, which is expected to occur by the end of the third quarter of 2010.

Shares you own outright at the time of the closing of the acquisition will, like the shares of any other stockholder, be exchanged for a cash payment per share equal to $33.86. The payment will be made shortly after the date of the closing, which is expected to occur by the end of third quarter of 2010.

You may continue to accumulate savings at your current rate until either the end of the current offering period, or the day immediately prior to the closing of the acquisition, whichever comes first. You may apply those savings to the purchase of shares. The shares you purchase under the ESPP or the SAYE will be exchanged for a cash payment per share equal to $33.86. No new offerings will commence after the expiration of the current offering periods.

There are no special restrictions on your ability to exercise your vested options or sell any shares you own. However, the Company’s normal trading policies remain in place, and as always, you are prohibited by law from trading if you have material, non-public information. For a number of individuals, trading restrictions may still apply until the Company’s Q1 2010 results are announced – and that is planned for May 10, 2010.

Employees who have equity in the Company, and/or participate in the ESPP or SAYE, will be provided more information as it becomes available before the closing of the acquisition. Contacts will be provided to answer questions. In the interim, you can refer questions on this matter to your local HR manager.

Interactive Data is not planning to significantly alter the current aggregate level of benefits provided. However, prior to the closing of the acquisition or shortly thereafter, we plan to transition from various Pearson plans and establish our own plans with current and/or new providers/administrators, and some benefits may change as part of that process. While we generally intend to transition to plans that provide employees with similar benefits at similar costs, we cannot guarantee that this will occur with respect to every benefit. Any changes will be clearly communicated to eligible employees.

Interactive Data will be withdrawing from the Pearson US and UK Pension Plans going forward as a result of this transaction, and, accordingly, you will not accrue any additional benefits under these plans following the closing of the transaction (please note that the Pearson US Pension Plan was frozen many years ago). These plans will remain with Pearson and you will be entitled to the benefits you have accrued under them as applicable. Once the transaction is completed, a new plan will be established to provide retirement benefits to UK employees going forward. Details regarding the new UK retirement arrangements will be communicated to you when they are available. U.S. employees will continue to be eligible to participate in a 401(k) plan following the transaction.

Organization

No. To be clear, Silver Lake and Warburg Pincus will become Interactive Data’s next owners once the acquisition is completed and these firms do not envision becoming managers of our business.

Interactive Data employees should not address inquiries from Silver Lake or Warburg Pincus staff unless they are approved to do so by their manager. Until the acquisition closes, Interactive Data and the buyers remain independent, although integration planning is permissible.

4

Yes. When the acquisition is completed, Interactive Data will become a private company and its stock will no longer be registered on a securities exchange.

Yes. Interactive Data has a strong brand and Silver Lake and Warburg Pincus look forward to working with the Company to continue efforts to raise its profile in the financial services industry.

No. We do not expect that the acquisition will impact employees to the extent that you will need to re-establish any individual employment contract that you may be a party to, or re-establish any work permits or visas that you may have.

There are no changes to our current business practices, including travel or training budgets, at this time. With that being said, we plan to closely monitor and manage our discretionary spending as we always do.
