St. Petersburg, Florida June 16, 2000 3 PROXY STATEMENT CATALINA MARKETING CORPORATION 11300 9TH STREET NORTH ST. PETERSBURG, FLORIDA 33716 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS TO BE HELD ON JULY 18, 2000 SOLICITATION AND REVOCATION OF PROXIES The enclosed proxy is solicited by and on behalf of the Board of Directors of CATALINA MARKETING CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), for use at the Company's 2000 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on July 18, 2000 at 9:00 AM at the Teaneck Marriott at Glenpointe, 100 Frank W. Burr Boulevard, Teaneck, NJ 07666, and at any and all adjournments or postponements thereof (the "Annual Meeting"), for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting. Any stockholder has the power to revoke his or her proxy at any time before it is voted. A proxy may be revoked by delivering written notice of revocation to the Company at its principal office, 11300 9th Street North, St. Petersburg, Florida 33716, Attention: Corporate Secretary, or by executing a subsequent proxy and presenting it at the meeting. A proxy may also be revoked by the person who executed the proxy attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person. In addition to this solicitation, officers, directors and regular employees of the Company, who will receive no additional compensation for their services, may solicit proxies by mail, telegraph or personal calls. The Company may, but does not currently plan to, engage a proxy solicitation firm in connection with the solicitation of proxies. The expense of any such engagement is not expected to exceed $10,000. All costs of solicitation will be borne by the Company. The Company has requested brokers and nominees who hold stock in their name to furnish this proxy material to their customers and the Company will reimburse such brokers and nominees for their related out-of-pocket expenses. This Proxy Statement of the Company will be mailed on or about June 16, 2000 to each stockholder of record as of the close of business on May 30, 2000. VOTING AT THE MEETING The Company had 18,325,425 shares of Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), outstanding as of May 30, 2000. Holders of record of shares of Common Stock at the close of business on May 30, 2000 will be entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting and will be entitled to one vote for each such share so held of record. Holders of a majority of the outstanding shares, if present in person or represented by proxy, will constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and "broker non-votes" (which occur if a broker or other nominee does not have discretionary authority and has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner with respect to the particular item) are counted for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum for the transaction of business. Directors will be elected by a plurality vote of the shares present in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote. Accordingly, abstentions and broker non-votes will not have an effect on the outcome of the election of directors. The amendment to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares outstanding. For such proposal, abstentions and broker non-votes are counted for purposes of calculating shares entitled to vote but are not counted as shares voting and therefore have the effect of a vote against each such proposal. In all matters other than the election of directors and the amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation, the affirmative vote of the majority of shares present in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote thereon is required. For such proposals, abstentions are counted for purposes of calculating shares entitled to vote but are not counted as shares voting and therefore have the effect of a vote against each such proposal. Also, for these proposals, broker non-votes are not counted as shares present at the meeting and entitled to vote and therefore have no effect. 2 4 NOMINATION AND ELECTION OF DIRECTORS (PROPOSAL 1) The persons named in the enclosed proxy will vote for the two nominees named below under "Nominees for Directors" as the three Class III Directors, unless instructed otherwise in the proxy. The persons receiving the greatest number of votes, up to the number of directors to be elected, shall be the persons elected as Class III Directors. Each Class III Director is to hold office until the 2003 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until his or her respective successor is duly qualified and elected. The names and certain information concerning the persons to be nominated to become directors by the Board of Directors at the Annual Meeting are set forth below. YOUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT THE STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR THE ELECTION OF EACH OF THE NOMINEES NAMED BELOW UNDER "NOMINEES FOR DIRECTORS." Although each of the persons nominated has consented to serve as a director if elected and your Board of Directors has no reason to believe that any of the nominees will be unable to serve as a director, if any nominee withdraws or otherwise becomes unavailable to serve, the persons named as proxies will vote for any substitute nominee designated by the Board of Directors.

Executive officers, directors and 10% stockholders are required by Securities and Exchange Commission regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. The Company's information regarding compliance with Section 16(a) is based solely on a review of the copies of such reports furnished to the Company by the Company's executive officers, directors and 10% stockholders. The Company is not aware of any noncompliance with the requirements of Section 16(a) to file reports during the Company's last fiscal year. COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION No interlocking relationship exists between the Board of Directors or Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors or Compensation Committee of any other company, nor has any such interlocking relationship existed in the past. APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT TO CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION (PROPOSAL 2) The Board of Directors believes that it is in the Company's best interest to amend the Company's Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of shares of common stock, $.01 par value per share the Company is authorized to issue from 50,000,000 to 150,000,000. As of May 30, 2000 approximately 18,325,425 shares of the Company's 50,000,000 currently authorized common shares were issued and outstanding. Of the remaining authorized shares, approximately 3,831,441 were reserved for issuance in connection with the Company's stock-based compensation plan. The current number of authorized shares of common stock that are not outstanding or reserved is not sufficient to enable the Company to complete a 3-for-1 stock split that had been unanimously approved by the Board of Directors. That stock split, to be effected in the form of a stock dividend, was declared by the Board of Directors on April 27, 2000, with a record date of July 26, 2000 and a payment date of August 17, 2000, subject to the adoption of this proposal by the stockholders. If this proposal is approved, all or any of the authorized shares may be issued without further stockholder action (unless such approval is required by applicable law or regulatory authorities) and without first offering those shares to the stockholders for subscription. The issuance of shares otherwise than on a pro-rata basis to all stockholders would reduce the proportionate interest in the Company of each stockholder. The Company has not proposed the increase in the authorized number of shares with the intention of using the additional shares for anti-takeover purposes, although the Company could theoretically use the additional shares to make more difficult or to discourage an attempt to acquire control of the Company. If this proposal is approved, Section A of Article Fourth of the Certificate of Incorporation will be amended by deleting Section A of Article Fourth and restating the Section in its entirety as follows: A. The Corporation is authorized to issue two classes of Shares designated "Common Stock" and "Preferred Stock," respectively. The number of shares of Common Stock authorized to be issued is 150,000,000 shares, par value $.01 per share, and the number of shares of Preferred Stock authorized to be issued is 5,000,000, par value $1.00 per share. The Board of Directors has unanimously adopted resolutions setting forth the proposed amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation, declaring its advisability and directing that the proposed amendment be submitted to the 9 11 shareowners for their approval at the Annual Meeting. If approved by the stockholders, the amendment will become effective upon filing of an appropriate certificate with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. YOUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR THIS PROPOSAL. THE COMPANY'S INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS (PROPOSAL 3) The Board of Directors has selected Arthur Andersen LLP to audit the financial statements of the Company for the year ending March 31, 2001. Arthur Andersen LLP has audited the Company's financial statements since 1985. The persons named in the enclosed proxy will vote shares represented by proxies returned to the Company FOR the proposal unless instructed otherwise in the proxy. YOUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT THE STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR THE PROPOSAL TO RATIFY AND APPROVE THE SELECTION OF THE ACCOUNTING FIRM ARTHUR ANDERSEN LLP AS THE COMPANY'S INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS FOR FISCAL 2001. A representative of Arthur Andersen LLP will be present at the Annual Meeting to respond to any questions and to make a statement on behalf of his firm, if he so desires. TRANSACTION OF OTHER BUSINESS As of the date of this Proxy Statement, the Board of Directors is not aware of any matters other than those set forth herein and in the Notice of Annual Meeting that will come before the meeting. Should any other matters arise requiring the vote of stockholders, it is intended that proxies will be voted in respect thereto in accordance with the best judgment of the person or persons voting the proxies. REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors is composed of Messrs. Beinecke as chairman, Collins and Wilson, all of whom are independent directors. The Committee is responsible to the Board and indirectly to stockholders for assuring that: 1. The Company's human resource policies are effective in attracting, retaining and developing outstanding executive talent; 2. The Company has succession plans for senior management positions; 3. The Company's total compensation program supports the Company's business goals and strategies, reinforces desired corporate behaviors, and properly recognizes performance; and 4. The Company's compensation levels are internally equitable and externally competitive. The Committee sets compensation policies designed to maintain a strong relationship between performance and rewards, to align the interests of the executive officers with those of the stockholders and to actively encourage ownership of the Company's Common Stock. The Compensation Committee's actions with regard to executive officers who are members of the Board of Directors are subject to Board approval. 10 12 EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION POLICY The Company's compensation program is designed to attract, motivate, reward and retain the management talent required to achieve aggressive corporate growth and profitability objectives, and thereby increase stockholder value. It is the Company's policy to provide conservatively competitive base salaries to attract and retain highly capable managers, attractive annual incentive bonuses to encourage and reward achievement of the Company's annual growth and profitability goals, and significant equity opportunities to align the interests of management with those of stockholders. Because of the unique position the Company occupies within its market sector, there are few peer companies with which the Company can compare its management compensation. Consequently, the Compensation Committee does not rely solely on competitive surveys to set management compensation levels. However, the Compensation Committee does review the executive compensation levels in other publicly held growth companies in related and other industries, and obtains advice from independent consultants as to the Company's pay practices and levels. The tax deductibility of a senior executive's compensation is limited to $1 million a year unless such compensation is "performance based" or meets other exemptions under the Code. It is the Company's policy to structure and administer its compensation program for executives to maximize the tax deductibility of executive compensation, unless there are other countervailing factors. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PROGRAM The principal elements of the executive compensation program are base salary, annual incentive bonuses and stock options. Key management personnel receive each element of compensation in various combinations, with the portion of total compensation provided by annual incentive bonuses and stock options increasing at higher management levels. Base Salaries The Compensation Committee reviews the salaries paid to the Company's executive officers and considers increases based on several factors, including competitive compensation data, individual performance, internal relationships and the performance and prospects of the Company. Annual Incentive Bonuses Annual incentive bonuses are awarded to the Company's management under the annual management incentive plan. Bonuses are set as a target percentage of salary by management level and are earned based on individual and Company performance in relation to financial objectives set by the Compensation Committee and non-financial objectives established by senior management. Bonus targets range from 16% up to 64% of base salary. Cash payments under the annual management incentive plan ranged from 5% to 87% of individual employee's base salary for fiscal 2000, with the exception of Messrs. Bechtol and Diamond, who had specific, individual performance based incentive plans. Bonuses paid for fiscal year 2000 were greater than bonuses paid for fiscal year 1999. The Compensation Committee's aggressive goals for the management of the Company for fiscal year 2000 were substantially achieved. Examples of the Company's performance include a 33% increase in revenue and a 34% increase in earnings per share for fiscal year 2000 over the prior year. Stock Options Annual stock option grants are recommended by the Chief Executive Officer and are reviewed and approved by the Compensation Committee. Grants are based on several factors, including an evaluation of individual performance, tenure with the Company and management level. Special grants are considered to attract experienced managers to join the Company. The Compensation Committee believes that employee stock options are highly important to retain key employees and in aligning employee interests with the stockholders' interests. 11 13 On April 27, 2000, the Board, upon a proposal set forth by the Compensation Committee, approved the grant of 230,000 performance vesting stock options pursuant to the 1999 Stock Option Plan. The purpose of these grants were to align the interests of senior management with the interests of the stockholders of the Company by increasing management's ownership of the Company. The options granted vest upon the eighth anniversary of the date of the grant; however, such options shall vest earlier if and upon the achievement of certain earnings per share targets. The Compensation Committee believes that such performance vesting options represent an appropriate means of motivating senior management. Although the Compensation Committee does not anticipate granting such a large number of performance vesting options on a regular basis, the Compensation Committee will consider additional grants of performance vesting stock options as it shall deem advisable to further the purpose of aligning the interests of the Company's management and its stockholders. COMPENSATION COMMITTEE DECISIONS AFFECTING CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER'S COMPENSATION Effective May 8, 1999, Mr. Granger's base salary was increased by approximately 8.7%. Mr. Granger's salary level was determined based on his performance and contribution to the Company's performance as evaluated by the Compensation Committee. Mr. Granger's bonus for fiscal 2000 was determined by the Compensation Committee based on specific financial and non-financial performance goals. Mr. Granger's incentive bonus was $400,000 for fiscal 2000, 80% of his salary, which was based upon the Compensation Committee's evaluation of his performance and contribution to the Company's achievements in fiscal 2000, in which increases in revenue, net income and earnings per share were 33%, 37% and 34% respectively, over the prior year. Mr. Granger's annual compensation for fiscal 2000 (salary paid and bonus earned) was 39% higher than his annual compensation for the prior year. Respectfully submitted, Frederick W.

CHANGE IN CONTROL ARRANGEMENTS The Company has entered into Change of Control Severance Agreements with certain of its executive officers and directors (the "Executives"). The Severance Agreements provide that if an Executive's employment is terminated by the Company or if an Executive resigns for "good reason" (which includes, among other things, a reduction in base salary or a reduction in the Executive's title, position or responsibility) within two years after a change in control, such Executive will receive severance benefits. The Executives will also be entitled to severance benefits if after a "potential change in control" (which include, among other things, the Company entering into an agreement that results in a change of control) but before a change of control actually occurs, an Executive's employment is terminated by the Company or an Executive resigns for good reason. The severance benefit includes a cash lump-sum payment equal to a multiple (the "Severance Multiple") of the Executive's annual compensation then in effect. In addition, the Executive will receive a cash lump sum payment equal to the sum of any unpaid incentive compensation that has been allocated or awarded under any bonus or compensation plan. The Executive will also be entitled to life, disability, accident and health insurance benefits provided to the Executive and Executive's spouse and dependents for a specified number of years ("Benefit Years") from the date that Executive is entitled to receive severance benefits. If any of the Executive's severance benefits are parachute payments as defined under the Internal Revenue Code, the Company has agreed to make additional payments to such Executive to compensate such Executive for his or her additional tax obligations. The Company has entered into Severance Agreements with Messrs. Granger, Off, McClorey, Bechtol, Diamond, Port and Ms. Klug.
