President of Investor Relations of ChoicePoint, and Ron Fournet, President and
Chief Executive Officer of DBT Online, Inc. ("DBT"), and others participated in

of 2000. The following exerpts from the transcript of the conference call relate
to the merger transaction between ChoicePoint and DBT.

1.       On page 1 the following:

K. McLoughlin     Thanks Alison. Good morning and thanks everyone for joining
                  us. On our call with me today we have Mike Wood our CFO who's
                  going to review the financial results of the quarter. Doug
                  Curling our Chief Operating Officer who's going to talk about
                  our strategic and operational accomplishments. And Ron Fournet
                  President and CEO of DBT who will be available during the Q&A
                  to respond to any questions specific to the pending merger or
                  to DBT.

2.       On page 10 the following:

D. Curling        However, in our 4th quarter call I indicated that this year we
                  would step up our M&A activity again. During this past quarter
                  you saw us become very active.

3.       On pages 11-13 the following:

D. Curling        All of these deals were accretive Q1 results. And of course
                  our largest deal, the pending merger with DBT Online was
                  announced on February 14th. All of you I'm sure have heard us
                  talk about our excitement for this merger and the significant
                  opportunities the combination of our two businesses offers us
                  in the on-line public record marketplace.

                  As discussed in the press release earlier this month, we have
                  cleared all regulatory and anti-trust review processes so the
                  last major hurdle is


   2

                  security shareholder approval. Both DBT and Choicepoint have
                  mailed proxies to shareholders and have set our annual
                  shareholder meetings for May 16th here in Alpharetta.

                  DBT will hold their meeting in a nearby hotel and Choicepoint
                  will hold our meeting here at our headquarters facility.

                  Assuming shareholder approval is obtained, we would expect to
                  close the transaction as soon as logistically possible
                  thereafter, so we are actually ahead of our original schedule
                  and looking to close mid-May.

                  While we wait for the shareholder approval, we have been
                  working hard on building integration plans for the two
                  companies. We have set a number of functional work teams to
                  understand how we can best work together and maximize synergy
                  and opportunities going forward. These teams are making good
                  progress and our 6-person executive committee meets each week
                  to discuss milestones and recommended next steps.

                  While we've already begun making some integration decisions on
                  things like data purchases and communications strategies, as
                  you might expect most of the implementation cannot begin until
                  a legal business combination is effected.

                  So our goal is really to have as much as the planning
                  completed by mid-May as possible, so we can begin executing
                  soon after closing. Realistically we will still be making
                  integration decisions until probably late June. But we do
                  expect to have all the deal costs and restructuring charges
                  included in our Q2 results.

                  I am personally very pleased with how this process is going
                  and the level of cooperation among our working teams and I am
                  very excited about the merger and the possibilities it offers
                  us.

4.       On pages 15-16 the following:

D. Curling        Lastly, let me briefly comment on our Internet and emerging
                  market initiative. As we've discussed over the last several
                  quarterly calls, Choicepoint will continue to seek
                  opportunities for us to exploit the Internet as a distribution
                  for channel for our public record content. And with the
                  upcoming combination with DBT and their Know X operation, we
                  are actively engaged in strategic review of all of our
                  activities in this area.

                  First we move forward with forming and Internet advisory board
                  to help us strategically direct our Internet businesses. Alan
                  Taetle, a current member of the Choicepoint board and a
                  partner in Noro-Mosely, a large


   3

                  Atlanta-based venture capital fund, has agreed to chair this
                  committee. He has recruited several others to serve with him
                  bringing significant Internet and e-commerce experience to us.

                  Secondly, although I didn't specifically comment on in my
                  early Choicepoint DBT integration remarks, our two Internet
                  teams are working very well together and have already arranged
                  for new shared office space in mid-town Atlanta. Although both
                  teams recognize that some strategic changes are inevitable,
                  they are both excited about combining forces and actively
                  engaged in product, technology and staff planning.

                  Know X has a run rate of about $15 million of Internet revenue
                  today and a talent pool of 40 associates here in Atlanta that
                  add considerable mass and experience to our own Internet
                  initiative.

                  As we continue to determine our long term strategy and
                  structure for the Internet initiatives however, we are
                  pursuing and successfully establishing key relationships and
                  opportunities in the e-market space for our new core products.
                  Although these initiatives aren't yet producing significant
                  financial contributions, we are make progress strategically at
                  positioning Choicepoint as a content provider of critical data
                  for decisions made on the Internet and believe long term there
                  is significant value creation opportunity for us here in this
                  space.

B. Speller        Understood. And last question, Ron, good morning and was
                  wondering if you could just comment briefly on the DBT
                  quarter.

R. Fournet        Yes, Brian good morning. We felt like we had a very good first
                  quarter and very much so according to plan in terms of
                  obviously a rebound from the 4th quarter. That overall 1st
                  quarter showed again a continuing recovery of the federal
                  business. The growth of revenues as we introduced multiple
                  products into multiple markets. I'm sure many of you have been
                  tracking that. Again, as we have done that we have controlled
                  costs very well I think.

                  So I think we're very well positioned for the core business to
                  continue to move forward and expanded into multiple markets
                  with some new products and very well positioned with the
                  merger with Choicepoint which I'll just leave you a trailing
                  thought here. The board senior team and all of the employees
                  of DBT are very excited by this.

                  We see the synergy to give us combined strength that we never
                  would have had in the past and so therefor going forward we
                  are very, very


   4

                  excited and looking forward to the mid-May timeframe and let's
                  just get on with it.

D. Curling        Likewise and thanks Ron. I think the trends there are very,
                  very compelling and exciting. Thank you.

6.       On pages 24-26 the following:

B. Warmington     A further question on DBT and the 4th quarter. It looked like
                  the operating margin changed there but was pretty pronounced
                  and pretty positive. I wanted to ask what was behind that? It
                  seemed like there was finally some good revenue growths there,
                  but it looked like there was also I don't know whether it was
                  more efficiency on spending. I wanted to see if we could get a
                  little bit of color on that.

R. Fournet        Yes I'll take that. This is Ron Fournet again. We did have of
                  course some two-plan if you will, as planned expenditures in
                  the first quarter as we continued to grow the company and
                  transform it if you will into several markets and several
                  products. You have seen these product releases that we have
                  been doing.

                  But as we have done that we have kept our cost flat but this
                  according to plan too. The whole notion has been nothing more
                  and nothing less than let's keep the costs flat as we
                  introduce new products, grow the top line, keep the expense
                  line flat, the margin will increase. I think that what you're
                  seeing is the affect of that. It is a real simple formula and
                  we had that fairly well established by late last summer. I
                  think that what you're seeing is the realization of that into
                  the first quarter.

B. Warmington     Would it be fair to take that operating margin level and
                  project that out for the rest of 2000 as being a sustainable
                  operating level? Or would it be fair to look at that as sort
                  of the floor-up for which you're going to build? Is this
                  pre-synergy?

R. Fournet        Absolutely. That is the plan as you've seen it and as you just
                  described it. The plan has always been to establish this as
                  the floor and actually in the 4th quarter I think what you saw
                  was we just delayed in doing it because of the penetration in
                  the markets, the expansion in the ansay markets and the growth
                  of the salesforce. From a fixed asset base that we had already
                  established to grow that and to increase that margin, I think
                  that is what you're seeing and I expect that trend to
                  continue.

B. Warmington     Thank you very much and congratulations on a very strong
                  quarter to both companies.
