This summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this document. It may not contain all of the information that is important to you. We urge you to carefully read the entire document and the other documents to which we refer in order to fully understand the merger and the related transactions. See “Where You Can Find More Information” on page [  ]. Each item in this summary refers to the page of this document on which that subject is discussed in more detail.

 

The Merger (See page [  ])

 

A copy of the merger agreement is attached as Appendix A to this document. FIS and Metavante encourage you to read the entire merger agreement carefully because it is the principal document governing the merger.

 

Structure of the Merger (See page [  ])

 

Subject to the terms and conditions of the merger agreement and in accordance with Wisconsin law and Delaware law, at the effective time of the merger, Metavante will be merged with and into Cars Holdings, LLC, a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of FIS formed for the purposes of the merger (referred to in this document as Merger Sub), with Merger Sub surviving the merger and remaining a wholly owned subsidiary of FIS. The effect of the merger will be that Metavante will be acquired by FIS and shares of Metavante common stock will no longer be publicly traded.

 

Consideration to be Received in the Merger (See page [  ])

 

Upon completion of the merger, each share of Metavante common stock outstanding immediately prior to completion of the merger will automatically be converted into the right to receive 1.35 shares of FIS common stock. The 1.35 exchange ratio is fixed and will not be adjusted based on changes following the date of the merger agreement in the market value of the common stock of Metavante or FIS or based on other changes. Because of this, the implied dollar value of the consideration to Metavante shareholders will fluctuate with changes in the market price of a share of FIS common stock. Based on the closing price of FIS common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on March 31, 2009, the last trading day before public announcement of the merger, the 1.35 exchange ratio represented $24.57 in value for each share of Metavante common stock. Based on the closing price of FIS common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on [          ], 2009, the latest practicable date before the date of this document, the exchange ratio represented $[     ] in value for each share of Metavante common stock. FIS will not issue any fractional shares of FIS common stock in the merger. Holders of Metavante common stock who would otherwise be entitled to a fractional share of FIS common stock will instead receive an amount in cash calculated by multiplying the fraction of a share by the average closing sale prices of FIS common stock on the New York Stock Exchange for the five full trading days preceding (but not including) the effective date of the merger. Shares of FIS common stock outstanding before the merger is completed will remain outstanding and will not be exchanged, converted or otherwise changed in the merger.

 

Treatment of Metavante Stock Awards (See page [  ])

 

The merger agreement specifies how equity compensation awards issued by Metavante prior to completion of the merger will be treated in the merger. Upon completion of the merger:

 

 

 

 

FIS has generally agreed to assume at completion of the merger Metavante’s obligations with respect to the Metavante stock options, restricted shares, performance shares and stock units that are converted into FIS stock options and restricted shares as described above in accordance with the terms of the plans and agreements under which they have been granted.

 

Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger (See page [  ])

 

The merger is intended to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and it is a condition to the parties’ respective obligations to complete the merger that each of FIS and Metavante receive a tax opinion to that effect. Accordingly, if you are a holder of Metavante common stock, the merger generally will be tax-free to you for United States federal income tax purposes as to the shares of FIS common stock that you receive in exchange for your shares of Metavante common stock in the merger, except for any gain or loss that may result from the receipt of cash instead of fractional shares of FIS common stock that you would otherwise be entitled to receive. In addition, none of FIS, Metavante or Merger Sub will recognize any gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of the merger.

 

The United States federal income tax consequences described above may not apply to all holders of Metavante common stock. Your tax consequences will depend on your individual situation. Accordingly, we strongly urge you to consult your tax advisor for a full understanding of the particular tax consequences of the merger to you.

FIS (See page [  ])

Interests of Certain Persons in the Merger (See page [  ])

 

Metavante’s executive officers and directors have interests in the merger as individuals that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of Metavante’s shareholders generally. The Metavante board of directors was aware of these interests and considered them, among other matters, in approving and adopting the merger agreement and the transactions it contemplates. Messrs. David Coulter, James Neary and Adarsh Sarma, who are currently members of the Metavante board of directors, are also managing directors of Warburg Pincus LLC. As discussed below under the caption “— The Merger Agreement — Agreements with an Entity Affiliated with Warburg Pincus LLC,” WPM, which is affiliated with Warburg Pincus LLC, has entered into certain agreements with FIS, Merger Sub and Metavante in connection with the execution of the merger agreement. Stock options, restricted stock, performance shares and stock units in respect of Metavante stock will generally be assumed by FIS and converted into awards denominated in FIS common stock, as adjusted for the exchange ratio in the merger. Certain executive officers have change of control agreements with Metavante that provide them with severance and other benefits in connection with a qualifying termination of employment following a change of control such as the merger. Mr. Frank R. Martire, the current Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Metavante, and Mr. Michael D. Hayford, the current President and Chief Operating Officer of Metavante, have each entered into an employment agreement and relocation letter agreement with FIS in connection with the entry into the merger agreement. Each employment agreement and relocation letter agreement is effective upon, and subject to, the closing of the merger and will amend, restate and supersede the executive’s existing employment and change of control agreement with Metavante. Upon completion of the merger, Mr. Martire will become one of the nine members of the board of directors of FIS. See “FIS Proposal 1 and Metavante Proposal 1: The Merger — Board of Directors and Management of FIS following Completion of the Merger.” Metavante’s executive officers and directors also have rights to indemnification and directors’ and officers’ liability insurance that will survive completion of the merger.

Board of Directors of FIS Following Completion of the Merger (See page [  ])

 

Upon completion of the merger, the board of directors of FIS will consist of nine members comprised of:

 

 

Regulatory Approvals Required for the Merger (See page [  ])

 

We have agreed to use our reasonable best efforts to obtain all regulatory approvals required to complete the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. These approvals include the termination or expiration of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, collectively referred to in this document as the HSR Act. FIS and Metavante have completed, or will complete, the filing of applications and notifications to obtain the required regulatory approvals. On April 17, 2009, FIS and Metavante each filed its notification and report form under the HSR Act with the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice, referred to in this document as the Antitrust Division, and the United States Federal Trade Commission, referred to in this document as the FTC. On May 18, 2009, FIS, with the concurrence of Metavante, voluntarily withdrew its notification and report form. FIS refiled the required notification and report form on May 20, 2009, at which time a new initial 30-day waiting period commenced. On June 19, 2009, the Antitrust Division issued a request for additional information and documentary material in connection with the proposed merger, thereby extending the statutory waiting period until 30 days after FIS and Metavante substantially comply with the request, unless the waiting period is either terminated earlier by the Antitrust Division or further extended with the consent of FIS and Metavante. FIS and Metavante are working closely with the Antitrust Division, cooperating fully with its investigation, and seeking to respond promptly to its request for additional information.

 

Although we do not know of any reason why we cannot obtain these regulatory approvals in a timely manner, we cannot be certain when or if we will obtain them.

 

Conditions That Must Be Satisfied or Waived for the Merger to Occur (See page [  ])

 

We currently expect to complete the merger in the fourth quarter of 2009. However, as more fully described in this document and in the merger agreement, whether or when the merger will be completed depends on a number of conditions being satisfied or, where legally permissible, waived. These conditions include, among others:

 

 

 

Several of the conditions to the obligations of the parties to close are beyond our control and we cannot be certain when, or if, the conditions to the merger will be satisfied or waived. The obligations of FIS or Metavante to proceed with the merger are not conditioned upon the completion of either of the investments.

 

Termination of the Merger Agreement (See page [  ])

 

We may agree to terminate the merger agreement without completing the merger, even after shareholder approval, as long as the termination is approved by each of our boards of directors.

 

In addition, the merger agreement may be terminated by either party in the following circumstances:

 

 

Expenses and Termination Fees (See pages [  ] and [     ])

 

Generally, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement will be paid by the party incurring those expenses, subject to the specific exceptions discussed in this document. Upon termination of the merger agreement under specified circumstances, FIS or Metavante may be required to pay the other party a termination fee of $175 million. See “The Merger Agreement — Termination Fee” beginning on page [  ] for a complete discussion of the circumstances under which a party may be required to pay a termination fee.

The Rights of Metavante Shareholders Will Be Governed by Georgia Law and by the FIS Governing Documents after the Merger (See page [  ])

 

The rights of Metavante shareholders will change as a result of the merger due to differences in FIS’ and Metavante’s governing documents and due to the fact that the companies are incorporated in different states (Metavante in Wisconsin and FIS in Georgia). Metavante shareholders will become FIS shareholders and their legal rights as shareholders will, following completion of the merger, be governed by Georgia law, the FIS amended and restated articles of incorporation and the FIS amended and restated bylaws. This document contains a description of the material differences in shareholder rights beginning on page [  ].

 

No Appraisal Rights (See page [  ])

 

Under Georgia law, holders of FIS common stock are not entitled to appraisal rights in connection with the share issuances. Under Wisconsin law, the holders of Metavante common stock are not entitled to appraisal rights in connection with the merger.

 

Comparative Market Prices and Share Information (See page [  ])

 

FIS common stock is quoted on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “FIS.” Metavante common stock is quoted on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “MV.” The following table shows the closing sale prices of FIS common stock and Metavante common stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange on March 31, 2009, the last trading day before we announced the merger, and on [          ], 2009, the last practicable trading day before the distribution of this document. This table also shows the implied value of the merger consideration proposed for each share of Metavante common stock, which we calculated by multiplying the closing price of FIS common stock on those dates by 1.35, the exchange ratio.

 

 

The market price of FIS common stock and Metavante common stock will fluctuate prior to the special meetings and before the merger is completed, which will affect the implied value of the merger consideration to Metavante shareholders. You should obtain current market quotations for the shares.

 

Agreements with an Entity Affiliated with Warburg Pincus LLC (See page [  ])

 

In connection with the merger agreement, on March 31, 2009, WPM entered into a support agreement with FIS, Merger Sub and Metavante under which, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, WPM has agreed to vote all of the shares of Metavante common stock it holds in favor of the merger and against any proposal relating to alternative business combination transactions involving Metavante. As of the date of this document, WPM holds in the aggregate approximately 25% of the outstanding shares of Metavante common stock. In connection with the merger and based upon certain existing rights of WPM in respect of its investment in Metavante, WPM and FIS also entered into a shareholders agreement and a stock purchase right agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the shareholders agreement, following completion of the merger, WPM will be entitled to nominate and have appointed one director to the board of directors of FIS and will be subject to certain limitations on its ability to transfer its shares of FIS common stock until 180 days after the closing date of the merger. The stock purchase right agreement, which is similar to an agreement WPM currently has with Metavante, provides WPM after the merger with the right to purchase from FIS shares of FIS common stock in accordance with formulas set forth in the stock purchase right agreement if employee stock options that were outstanding immediately prior to Metavante’s spin-off of M&I and which will be assumed by FIS in connection with the merger are exercised following the merger. The stock purchase right agreement with FIS would supersede WPM’s similar existing agreement with Metavante if and when the merger is consummated. In connection with these transactions, Metavante has agreed to reimburse WPM’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by WPM and its affiliates in connection with the negotiation and completion of the transactions contemplated by these agreements. The reimbursement of such expenses is subject to a cap of $1.2 million in the aggregate.

Litigation Related to the Merger (See page [  ])

 

Certain litigation is pending in connection with the merger. See “FIS Proposal 1 and Metavante Proposal 1: The Merger — Litigation Related to the Merger” beginning on page [  ].

 

ShareGift USA’s Charitable Donation Program

 

Arrangements have been made to enable Metavante shareholders to donate some or all of the merger consideration to be received by them upon consummation of the merger to ShareGift USA.

 

ShareGift USA is a nonprofit charity recognized as exempt from tax by the Internal Revenue Service under Section 501(c)(3) of the Code that will distribute the merger consideration donated by Metavante shareholders (or the proceeds from the sale of any donated merger consideration) to a variety of recognized U.S. charities. ShareGift USA will aggregate all donations from Metavante shareholders and distribute them to charitable institutions.

 

If you are a Metavante shareholder and a U.S. taxable investor, you may be eligible for a tax deduction should you choose to participate in ShareGift USA’s program. Please consult your tax advisor accordingly.

 

For additional information on the ShareGift USA charitable donation program, see “ShareGift USA’s Charitable Donation Program” beginning on page [     ].

 

The Investments and the Investment Agreement

 

In connection with entering into the merger agreement, FIS has entered into an investment agreement providing for an equity capital investment in shares of FIS common stock by the equity capital investors. The FIS board of directors determined that the investments are in the best interests of FIS and its shareholders after considering, among other factors, the capital structure of FIS following the completion of the proposed merger and the proposed investments, and the fact that Metavante’s lenders viewed the additional equity capital to be received in the proposed investments as having a favorable impact on the combined company’s capital structure in the context of the discussions with Metavante’s lenders and seeking such lenders’ consents regarding modifications to the terms of Metavante’s existing debt in connection with the proposed merger. See “FIS Proposal 1 and Metavante Proposal 1: The Merger — FIS’ Reasons for the Merger and the Investments; Recommendation of the FIS Board of Directors” beginning on page [     ]. Under the investment agreement, immediately after the merger, (a) THL will purchase 12,861,736 shares of FIS common stock for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $200 million and (b) FNF will purchase 3,215,434 shares of FIS common stock for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $50 million. The price per share of FIS common stock under each of the THL and FNF investments is $15.55. The price per share was determined through arms-length negotiations with the equity capital investors and was approved by the FIS board of directors on the basis of the factors described under “FIS Proposal 1 and Metavante Proposal 1: The Merger — FIS’ Reasons for the Merger and the Investments; Recommendation of the FIS Board of Directors” beginning on page [     ].

 

The consummation of the investments is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, including, among others, approval by FIS shareholders of the issuance of shares of FIS common stock to each of THL and FNF, the receipt of required governmental approvals and expiration of applicable waiting periods, the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the other party (subject to a material adverse effect standard), material compliance by the other party with its obligations under the investment agreement, and the consummation of the merger. While the obligations of FIS and the equity capital investors to proceed with the investment are conditioned upon the occurrence of the merger between FIS and Metavante, the obligations of FIS or Metavante to proceed with the merger are not conditioned upon the completion of either of the investments.

 

Following the completion of the investments, pursuant to the terms of the investment agreement and contingent upon THL maintaining specified ownership levels in FIS common stock, THL will have the right to designate one member to the FIS board of directors. The investment agreement also provides that neither THL nor FNF may transfer the shares purchased in the investments, subject to limited exceptions, for 180 days after

the completion of the investments, and after such time provides THL and FNF with certain rights to have the offering of their shares of FIS common stock registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

In consideration for entering into the investment agreement, FIS has agreed to pay each of THL and FNF a transaction fee equal to 3% of their respective investments at the completion of the investments.

 

A copy of the investment agreement is attached as Appendix B to this document. We encourage you to read the entire agreement carefully.

 

Interests of Certain Persons in the Investments (see page [  ])

 

Certain of FIS’ executive officers and directors have interests in the transactions contemplated by the investment agreement as a result of the existing relationships between each of THL and FNF with FIS.

 

The Shareholder Meetings

 

The FIS Special Meeting (See page [  ])

 

The FIS special meeting will be held at Peninsular Auditorium, 601 Riverside Avenue, Jacksonville, Florida 32204, on [          ], 2009 at 10:00 a.m., local time. At the FIS special meeting, FIS shareholders will be asked to:

 

 

The FIS board of directors has fixed the close of business on June 29, 2009 as the record date for the FIS special meeting. Only FIS shareholders of record at that time are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the FIS special meeting, or any adjournment or postponement of the FIS special meeting. As of the record date, there were 191,334,818 shares of FIS common stock entitled to vote at the FIS special meeting.

 

Each share of FIS common stock outstanding on the record date entitles the holder to one vote on each matter to be voted upon by shareholders at the special meeting. The proposal to approve the issuance of shares of common stock in the merger and the proposals to issue shares of FIS common stock to the equity capital investors each requires the affirmative vote of a majority of all votes cast by the holders of common stock at the meeting. A FIS shareholder’s failure to vote, a broker non-vote or an abstention will count against obtaining a quorum for those proposals, which requires that the total votes cast represent a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on such proposal. If a quorum is present, a FIS shareholder’s failure to vote, a broker non-vote or an abstention will not count as a vote against the proposal to approve the issuance of shares of FIS common stock in the merger or the proposals to issue shares of FIS common stock to the equity capital investors.

 

As of the FIS record date, directors and executive officers of FIS and their affiliates had the right to vote 3,119,831 shares of FIS common stock, or approximately 1.6% of the outstanding FIS common stock entitled to be voted at the FIS special meeting.

 

The FIS board of directors believes that the merger is in the best interests of FIS and its shareholders and has unanimously approved and adopted the merger agreement and the transactions it contemplates. The FIS board of directors also believe that the equity capital investments are in the best interests of FIS and its shareholders and has unanimously approved and adopted the investment agreement and the transactions it contemplates. For the factors considered by the FIS board of directors in reaching its decision to approve the merger agreement and the investment agreement and the transactions each agreement contemplates, see “FIS

Proposal 1 and Metavante Proposal 1: The Merger — FIS’ Reasons for the Merger and the Investments; Recommendation of the FIS Board of Directors.” The FIS board of directors unanimously recommends that the FIS shareholders vote “FOR” the proposal to issue shares of FIS common stock in the merger and “FOR” the proposals to issue shares of FIS common stock to the equity capital investors.

 

The Metavante Special Meeting (See page [  ])

 

The Metavante special meeting will be held at the offices of Kirkland & Ellis LLP, 601 Lexington Avenue, New York, New York 10022, on [          ], 2009 at 8:00 a.m., local time. At the Metavante special meeting, Metavante shareholders will be asked to:

 

 

The Metavante board of directors has fixed the close of business on June 29, 2009 as the record date for the Metavante special meeting. Only Metavante shareholders of record at that time are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Metavante special meeting, or any adjournment or postponement of the Metavante special meeting. As of the record date, there were 120,260,336 shares of Metavante common stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the Metavante special meeting.

 

Each share of Metavante common stock outstanding on the record date entitles the holder to one vote on each matter to be voted upon by shareholders at the special meeting. Approval and adoption of the merger agreement and the transactions it contemplates requires the affirmative vote of a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of Metavante common stock. Because the affirmative vote of a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of Metavante common stock is needed for us to proceed with the merger, the failure to vote by proxy or in person will have the same effect as a vote against the merger. Abstentions also will have the same effect as a vote against the merger.

 

As of the Metavante record date, directors and executive officers of Metavante and their affiliates had the right to vote 598,309 shares of Metavante common stock, or approximately 0.5% of the outstanding Metavante common stock entitled to vote at the Metavante special meeting.

 

WPM has entered into an agreement with FIS, Merger Sub and Metavante whereby, subject to the terms and conditions of that agreement, it has agreed to vote all of the Metavante shares it holds in favor of the merger. As of the date of this document, WPM holds in the aggregate approximately 25% of the outstanding shares of Metavante common stock.

 

The Metavante board of directors believes that the merger is in the best interests of Metavante and its shareholders and has unanimously approved and adopted the merger agreement and the transactions it contemplates. For the factors considered by the Metavante board of directors in reaching its decision to approve the merger agreement and the transactions it contemplates, see “FIS Proposal 1 and Metavante Proposal 1: The Merger — Metavante’s Reasons for the Merger; Recommendation of the Metavante Board of Directors.” The Metavante board of directors unanimously recommends that the Metavante shareholders vote “FOR” the proposal to approve and adopt the merger agreement and the transactions it contemplates.

The historical consolidated financial information has been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed financial statements to give effect to pro forma events that are (1) directly attributable to the merger, (2) factually supportable, and (3) with respect to the statement of earnings, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results. The unaudited selected pro forma combined financial information has been derived from and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes of both FIS and Metavante, which are incorporated in this document by reference and more detailed unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, including the notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this document. See “Where You Can Find More Information” on page [  ] and “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” on page [  ].

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only and does not indicate the financial results of the combined companies had the companies actually been combined at the beginning of each period presented, nor the impact of possible business model changes. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information also does not consider any potential impacts of current market conditions on revenues, expense efficiencies, asset dispositions, and share repurchases, among other factors. In addition, as explained in more detail in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, the preliminary allocation of the pro forma purchase price reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is subject to adjustment and may vary significantly from the actual purchase price allocation that will be recorded upon completion of the merger.

 

 

The following table sets forth for FIS common stock and Metavante common stock certain historical, pro forma and pro forma-equivalent per share financial information. The pro forma and pro forma-equivalent per share information give effect to the merger and equity capital investments as if they had occurred on the dates presented, in the case of the book value data, and as if it had occurred on January 1, 2008, in the case of the net income and dividends paid data. The unaudited pro forma data in the tables assume that the merger is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting and represents a current estimate based on available information of the combined company’s results of operations. The pro forma financial adjustments record the assets and liabilities of Metavante at their estimated fair values and are subject to adjustment as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses are performed. See “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” on page [  ]. The information in the following table is based on, and should be read together with, the historical financial information that we have presented in the prior filings of FIS and Metavante with the SEC. See “Where You Can Find More Information” on page [  ].

 

We anticipate that the merger will provide the combined company with financial benefits that include reduced operating expenses and revenue enhancement opportunities. The unaudited pro forma information, while helpful in illustrating the financial characteristics of the combined company under one set of assumptions, does not reflect the impact of possible business model changes as a result of current market conditions which may impact revenues, expense efficiencies, asset dispositions, share repurchases and other factors. It also does not necessarily reflect what the historical results of the combined company would have been had our companies been combined during these periods nor is it indicative of the results of operations in future periods or the future financial position of the combined company. The Comparative Per Share Data Table for the year ended December 31, 2008 and the three months ended March 31, 2009 combines the historical income per share data of FIS and subsidiaries and Metavante and subsidiaries giving effect to the transactions as if the merger, using the acquisition method of accounting, and the equity capital investments had become effective on January 1, 2008. The pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain assumptions that FIS management believes are reasonable. Upon completion of the merger, the operating results of Metavante will be reflected in the consolidated financial statements of FIS on a prospective basis.
