NCR to Separate Into Two Independent, Industry-leading Companies - Seite 2

“This announcement is the right next step in NCR’s transformation. The separation would create two strong companies at scale, each with distinctive business goals and capital structures and allocation, as well as increased flexibility to innovate,” said Michael D. Hayford, CEO of NCR. “Each company can simplify its operations and focus on what it does best, and because they will have different growth profiles and economic models, separating them will also provide investors with greater transparency and a better ability to value each of the businesses. And, importantly, we believe this approach will put us in the best position to drive the most competitive products and solutions for our customers.”

The separation transaction will follow the satisfaction of customary conditions, including effectiveness of appropriate filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and the completion of audited financials.

NCR will host a conference call to discuss the creation of two independent companies on Friday, September 16, at 8:30 a.m. ET. A webcast and related presentation providing additional clarity on the separation process and the financial characteristics of each business will be available at http://investor.ncr.com. The conference call will be archived and available on the same site shortly after the call is complete.

Please join the call via one of the two dial-in numbers below 15 minutes prior to the scheduled start time. When prompted, provide the confirmation code.
