NEW YORK, October 31, 2011 ACI Worldwide, Inc. (Nasdaq: ACIW) announced today that it has
extended its exchange offer for all of the outstanding shares of common stock of S1 Corporation
(Nasdaq: SONE) until 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on Wednesday, November 30, 2011, unless further
extended.
On October 3, 2011, ACI agreed to acquire S1 for approximately $360 million in cash and 5.8 million
ACI shares. Under the terms of the transaction, S1 stockholders may elect to receive $10.00 in
cash or 0.3148 shares of ACI stock for each S1 share they own, subject to proration, such that in

of Justice for additional information relating to ACIs proposed acquisition of S1 under the

period imposed by the HSR Act until 30 calendar days after ACI has substantially complied with the
request, unless voluntarily extended or terminated sooner by the DOJ. The request is focused on
the card payments business. In 2010, S1s card payments business generated approximately $11.9
million of revenue in the United States.
The exchange offer is subject to various conditions, including the expiration or termination of the
waiting period under the HSR Act and the absence of injunctions. Except for the extension of the
exchange offer expiration date, all other terms and conditions of the exchange offer remain
unchanged as of October 31, 2011.
As of October 28, 2011, 14,239,603 shares of S1 common stock had been validly tendered in, and not
