Fiserv Announces Closing of Offer to Purchase Its Outstanding 6.125% Senior Notes Due 2012
BROOKFIELD, Wis., Oct 13, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Fiserv, Inc. (NASDAQ: FISV), the leading global provider of financial services technology solutions, announced today the final results of its previously announced cash tender offer to purchase up to $250,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 6.125% senior notes due 2012 (the "Notes") (CUSIP No. 337738AF5 and ISIN No. US337738AF57).
The tender offer expired at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on Tuesday, October 12, 2010 (the "Expiration Date"). As of the Expiration Date, Notes with an aggregate principal amount of $554,143,000 have been tendered and not validly withdrawn.
The amount of Notes purchased was prorated based on the aggregate principal amount of Notes validly tendered in the tender offer. As such, Fiserv accepted for purchase approximately 45.2% percent of the Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the offer on a pro rata basis (with adjustments downward to avoid the purchase of Notes in a principal amount other than in integral multiples of $1,000). Holders who validly tendered their Notes prior to the early tender date of September 27, 2010 received $1,100.00 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes tendered and accepted for payment, and holders who validly tendered their Notes thereafter received $1,070.00 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes tendered and accepted for payment. Notes not accepted for purchase will be promptly returned to the tendering holder or, if tendered through the facilities of the Depository Trust Company ("DTC"), credited to the relevant account at DTC, in accordance with its procedures.
In addition to the consideration described above, holders of Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase received accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes from the last payment date for the Notes up to, but not including, the settlement date.
Settlement for the Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase was effected October 13, 2010.
BofA Merrill Lynch and Citi served as the dealer managers for the Offer. Global Bondholder Services Corporation served as information agent.
Pursuant to the terms of the tender offer, Notes not tendered in the tender offer will remain outstanding, and the terms and conditions governing the Notes, including the covenants and other provisions contained in the indenture governing the Notes, will remain unchanged.
