</TABLE>

(1)  Estimated solely for the purpose of calculating the amount of the
     registration fee in accordance with Rule 457 under the Securities Act of
     1933, as amended. The offering price is calculated pursuant to Rule 457(c)
     based on the average of the high and low sales prices ($88 per share)
     of the Common Stock of the Registrant on the New York Stock Exchange on
     September 7, 1999.

(2)  In addition to such shares, this Registration Statement covers an
     indeterminate number of additional shares which may become subject to
     options as a result of the adjustment provisions of the Catalina Marketing
     Corporation 1999 Stock Option Plan and agreements. The registration fee is
     calculated only on the stated number of shares.

(3)  Rights are attached to and trade with the Common Stock of the Registrant.
     Value attributable to such Rights, if any, is reflected in the market
     price of the Common Stock; therefore, no additional registration fee is
     required.

ITEM 4.  DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

         Not applicable.

ITEM 5.  INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL

         Not applicable.

ITEM 6.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

         The Registrant's Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Restated
Bylaws include provisions to (i) eliminate the personal liability of its
directors for monetary damages resulting from breaches of their fiduciary duty
to the extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of Delaware (the
"Delaware Law") and (ii) require the Registrant to indemnify its directors and
officers to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware Law, including under
circumstances in which indemnification is otherwise discretionary. The
Registrant believes that these provisions are necessary to attract and retain
qualified persons as directors and officers.

         These provisions do not eliminate the directors' duty of care, and, in
appropriate circumstances, equitable remedies such as injunctive or other forms
of non-monetary relief remain available under the Delaware Law. In addition,
each director is subject to liability for breach of the director's duty of
loyalty to the Registrant, for acts or omissions not in good faith or involving
intentional misconduct, for knowing violations of law, for actions leading to
improper personal benefit to the director and for payment of dividends or
approval of stock repurchases or redemptions that are unlawful under the
Delaware Law. These provisions also do not affect a director's responsibilities
under any other laws, such as the federal securities laws or state or federal
environmental laws.

         As permitted by its Restated Bylaws, the Registrant has entered into
agreements with its directors and officers that require the Registrant to
indemnify such persons against expenses, judgments, fines, settlements and
other amounts incurred (including expenses of a derivative action) in
connection with any proceeding to which any such person may be made a party by
reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the
Registrant, provided such person acted in good faith and in a manner such
person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
Registrant.

ITEM 7.  EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED

         Not applicable.

ITEM 9.  UNDERTAKINGS

         (a)  The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

              (1)  To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement to
include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to
such information in this Registration Statement.

              (2)  That, for purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed the initial bona fide
offering thereof.

              (3)  To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.

         (b)  The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes
of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange
Act that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.




                                       4
<PAGE>   5

         (c)  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of the registrant pursuant to provisions pursuant to which the directors,
officers or controlling persons may be indemnified by the registrant or
otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In
the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than
the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of
any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
registrant will submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question
whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

         Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act, the Registrant
certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the
requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration
Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly
authorized, in the City of St. Petersburg, State of Florida, on this tenth day
of September, 1999.

         Re:  Catalina Marketing Corporation
              1999 Stock Option Plan
              Registration Statement on Form S-8

Ladies and Gentlemen:

         As counsel for Catalina Marketing Corporation, a Delaware corporation
(the "Company"), you have requested our opinion in connection with the
preparation and filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission of a
Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement") registering
1,600,000 shares of the Company's common stock, $0.01 par value per share for
issuance upon the exercise of options granted pursuant to the Company's 1999
Stock Option Plan.

         We have examined such records and documents and made such examination
of law as we have deemed relevant in connection with this opinion. Based on the
foregoing, we are of the opinion that the 1,600,000 shares covered by said
Registration Statement, when issued and paid for in accordance with the terms
of the 1999 Stock Option Plan and the applicable stock option agreements, will
be legally issued, fully-paid and nonassessable.

         We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
above-referenced Registration Statement on Form S-8 of Catalina Marketing
Corporation.

                                         Respectfully submitted,



                                         Paul, Hastings, Janofsky & Walker LLP
