<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><FONT STYLE="background-color: white">As a pioneer in helping
its customers submit electronic documents into the public record, the acquisition of Simplifile expands the ICE Mortgage Services
portfolio, which includes </FONT><FONT STYLE="background-color: #FEFEFE">MERS. Simplifile and MERS support the residential lending

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><FONT STYLE="background-color: #FEFEFE">ICE will pay $335 million
to acquire Simplifile, which is based in Provo, Utah and has no debt. The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter
of this year, subject to </FONT>the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust
Improvements Act of 1976, as amended<FONT STYLE="background-color: #FEFEFE">. ICE does not expect the transaction to have any impact
on its previously announced capital return plans. Upon closing, Simplifile, which has approximately 200 employees, will continue
to be based in Provo and operate under the Simplifile name. </FONT></P>

consumers, and investors can obtain significant benefits and savings as the real estate process shifts from paper-based to digital
transactions. Simplifile understood this trend early, uniquely solving for the critical aspect of submitting required documents
into the public record in a seamless, auditable and transparent method,&rdquo; said Chris McEntee, President of ICE Mortgage Services.
 &ldquo;By connecting </FONT><FONT STYLE="background-color: white">lenders, settlement agents, and counties through a robust network,
Simplifile will enhance ICE&rsquo;s efforts to further streamline a legacy process ripe for innovation,&rdquo; McEntee added.</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Simplifile was founded in 2000 with the goal of digitizing the
closing process of the real estate industry. Starting with Utah County, it began the process of onboarding, one by one, all 3,594

how ICE has helped to transform markets going through an analog to digital conversion and has made them more transparent and efficient

the increased pace of transformation of the mortgage industry, ICE and MERS announced earlier in April that </FONT>the number of
eNotes added to the MERS<SUP>&reg;</SUP> eRegistry during the first quarter of 2019 exceeded the total number of eNotes registered
for all of 2018. An electronic note, or eNote, is the functional equivalent of a paper promissory note when created in conformity
with eCommerce law requirements, and upon origination, is registered on the MERS<SUP>&reg;</SUP> eRegistry. Digital solutions such as the eNote are gaining traction and represent an important step towards a fully
electronic mortgage.</P>
