Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information

The statements contained in this release that are not purely historical are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or “Securities Act” and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or “Exchange Act,” including statements regarding our expectations, hopes, intentions, or strategies regarding the future. These statements relate to, among other things, business and market conditions, outlook and our future financial and operating results and debt. In many cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” or “continue,” or the negative of these terms, and other comparable terminology. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these statements as a result of a number of factors, including, but not limited to:

• the risk of changes in prevailing interest rates for commercial paper from those currently available, either as of the time of the merger or as of the time any such borrowings are refinanced;
• the risk of disruptions in the markets for commercial paper, or adverse credit events with respect to FIS or Worldpay, that could make the anticipated commercial paper borrowings more expensive or unavailable;
• the risk that the transactions described herein will not be completed or will not provide the expected benefits, or that we will not be able to achieve the cost or revenue synergies anticipated;
• the risk that the integration of FIS and Worldpay, Inc. (“Worldpay”) will be more difficult, time-consuming or expensive than anticipated;
• the risk of customer loss or other business disruption in connection with the transaction, or of the loss of key employees;
• the possible occurrence of an event, change or other circumstance that would give rise to the termination of the merger agreement;
• the fact that unforeseen liabilities of FIS or Worldpay may exist;
• the risk of doing business internationally;
• changes in general economic, business and political conditions, including the possibility of intensified international hostilities, acts of terrorism, changes in either or both the United States and international lending, capital and financial markets and currency fluctuations;
• the effect of legislative initiatives or proposals, statutory changes, governmental or other applicable regulations and/or changes in industry requirements, including privacy and cybersecurity laws and regulations;
• the risks of reduction in revenue from the elimination of existing and potential customers due to consolidation in, or new laws or regulations affecting, the banking, retail and financial services industries or due to financial failures or other setbacks suffered by firms in those industries;
• changes in the growth rates of the markets for the solutions of FIS and Worldpay;
• failures to adapt such solutions to changes in technology or in the marketplace;
• internal or external security breaches of systems, including those relating to unauthorized access, theft, corruption or loss of personal information and computer viruses and other malware affecting our software or platforms, and the reactions of customers, card associations, government regulators and others to any such events;
• the risk that implementation of software (including software updates) for customers or at customer locations or employee error in monitoring software and platforms may result in the corruption or loss of data or customer information, interruption of business operations, outages, exposure to liability claims or loss of customers;
• the reaction of current and potential customers to communications from us or regulators regarding information security, risk management, internal audit or other matters;
• competitive pressures on pricing related to the decreasing number of community banks in the U.S., the development of new disruptive technologies competing with one or more of our solutions, increasing presence of international competitors in the U.S. market and the entry into the market by global banks and global companies with respect to certain competitive solutions, each of which may have the impact of unbundling individual solutions from a comprehensive suite of solutions we provide to many of our customers;
• the failure to innovate in order to keep up with new emerging technologies, which could impact the merged companies’ solutions and ability to attract new, or retain existing, customers;
• the failure to meet financial goals to grow business in Brazil after the unwinding of FIS’ Brazilian Venture;
• the risks of reduction in revenue from the loss of existing and/or potential customers in Brazil after the unwinding of FIS’ Brazilian Venture;
• an operational or natural disaster at one of our major operations centers; and
• other risks detailed elsewhere in the two companies’ annual reports on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2019 and in our and their other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
