(d) On May 18, 2011, the size of the board of directors of Interactive Data Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), was expanded to nine members, and Andrew R. Prozes was appointed to the Company’s board of directors to fill the newly created position.

On May 13, 2011, Mr. Prozes purchased an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of common stock of Igloo Holdings Corporation (“Holdings”), the Company’s indirect parent, for one dollar ($1.00) per share. In connection with his purchase of shares of Holdings, Mr. Prozes also became party to the Shareholders Agreement among the Company, Holdings, Igloo Intermediate Corporation and the shareholders identified on Schedule A thereto, and to the Registration Rights Agreement among the Company, Holdings, Igloo Intermediate Corporation and certain other direct investors in Igloo, both of which agreements were described under Item 1.01 of the Company’s current report on Form 8-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 4, 2010, in the sections titled “4. Registration Rights Agreement” and “5. Shareholders Agreement,” which descriptions are incorporated herein by reference.

On May 13, 2011, Holdings granted to Mr. Prozes 400,000 shares of restricted common stock of Holdings pursuant to the Holdings 2010 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), subject to a Restricted Stock Grant Notice and Agreement entered into by Mr. Prozes and Holdings. Twenty percent of the restricted stock will vest on May 13, 2012, and the remainder will vest in 48 substantially equal monthly installments thereafter, subject to his continued service on the Holdings board of directors through each vesting date. All shares of Mr. Prozes’ restricted stock will vest in full upon a change in control. Such shares are subject to transfer restrictions and repurchase rights following a termination of employment in accordance with the terms of the Plan. In connection with the grant of restricted stock, Mr. Prozes also entered into a confidentiality agreement.
