As previously reported on a Form 8-K filed with the Securities & Exchange Commission on March 30, 2011, Acxiom Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), announced that Christopher W. Wolf has informed the Company of his intention to resign for personal reasons from his position as Chief Financial Officer of the Company in the second calendar quarter of 2011. On May 6, 2011, the Company entered into a Retention Agreement with Mr. Wolf (the “Retention Agreement”) to retain Mr. Wolf’s services as Chief Financial Officer of the Company through June 1, 2011 and to assist in the transition to a new Chief Financial Officer thereafter.

Pursuant to the Retention Agreement, Mr. Wolf will (i) facilitate the orderly transition to a new Chief Financial Officer; (ii) complete and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011, including the execution of the certificates required of the Company’s principal financial officer in connection therewith; (iii) complete the Company’s annual business plan; and (iv) assist with such other matters as the interim Chief Executive Officer of the Company may reasonably request (collectively, the “Retention Obligations”). Pursuant to the Retention Agreement Mr. Wolf has also agreed to make himself available upon the Company’s reasonable request to provide consulting services to the Company for a period of twelve months following the termination of his employment. Until June 1, 2011, Mr. Wolf will be entitled to his base salary and benefits as an employee as currently in effect. Upon timely completion of the Retention Obligations, and in exchange for signing a general release of claims against the Company and providing the consulting services, Mr. Wolf is entitled to a retention bonus of $33,333 per month for the twelve months following the termination of his employment.

The foregoing description of the Retention Agreement is not complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the Retention Agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.
