                                                     Deregistration of Securities


         On November 13, 2000, Acxiom Corporation (the "Registrant") filed a registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-49740), (as
amended by Post Effective Amendment No. 1 filed on January 3, 2001, the "Registration Statement"), which registered for resale by
the selling stockholder named therein 3,604,000 shares of the Registrant's common stock, par value $.10 per share, along with the
associated Preferred Stock Purchase Rights.  The Registrant's contractual obligations to the selling stockholder to maintain the
effectiveness of the Registration Statement have expired. Accordingly, pursuant to the undertaking contained in the Registration
Statement, the Registrant is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 to terminate the Registration Statement and to deregister
all securities registered pursuant to the Registration Statement remaining unsold as of the date this Post-Effective Amendment No. 2
is filed.
