Item 2.05. Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

      On August 26, 2009, NeuStar, Inc. (“Neustar” or the “Company”) announced its commitment to continue and extend the restructuring plan (the “Plan”), which was previously announced on December 8, 2008, for its NeuStar Next Generation Messaging (“NGM”) business segment to more appropriately allocate resources to the Company’s key mobile messaging initiatives. The Plan involves the re-allocation and reduction of resources in the Company’s NGM business segment that do not support the Company’s key mobile messaging priorities, including the closure of its facility in Haifa, Israel. Under the Plan, the Company’s NGM business segment will be further reduced by up to 120 employees, in addition to the reduction of 51 employees in the fourth quarter of 2008. The Company anticipates that the Plan will be completed by the end of the second quarter of 2010.

      In connection with the continuation and extension of the Plan, the Company expects to incur additional pre-tax cash restructuring charges of approximately $5.5 million to $6.0 million, in addition to the $1.7 million of restructuring charges the Company already recorded in connection with the Plan in the fourth quarter of 2008. The Company estimates that these additional costs will consist primarily of employee severance and related costs of approximately $4.5 million to $5.0 million, and lease and facilities exit costs at the affected facilities of approximately $1.0 million. The Company expects to record the foregoing charges beginning in the third quarter of 2009 and through the first half of 2010. Substantially all of these charges will result in cash expenditures over the same period.
