Fiserv Announces Public Offering of Senior Notes

Fiserv, Inc. (NASDAQ: FISV), a leading global provider of financial services technology solutions, announced today that it had commenced a public offering of its euro- and sterling-denominated senior notes, subject to market and other conditions.

The offering is being conducted in connection with the previously announced proposed acquisition of First Data Corporation, which is currently expected to close in the second half of calendar year 2019, subject to customary closing conditions (the “merger”). Fiserv intends to use the net proceeds from this offering, together with borrowings under its term loan facility and revolving credit facility and the proceeds of its substantially concurrent offering of $9.0 billion aggregate principal amount of its U.S. dollar-denominated senior notes, to refinance certain outstanding indebtedness of First Data, make cash payments in lieu of fractional shares as part of the merger consideration, and pay fees and expenses related to the merger, the refinancing, and the related transactions. Fiserv intends to use any remaining net proceeds for general corporate purposes. Pending such uses, Fiserv may invest the net proceeds from the offering temporarily in investment grade securities, money market funds, bank deposit accounts or similar short-term investments, or use such net proceeds to repay outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility.

J.P. Morgan Securities plc, Citigroup Global Markets Limited, Wells Fargo Securities International Limited, MUFG Securities EMEA plc, PNC Capital Markets LLC, SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc., The Toronto-Dominion Bank and U.S. Bancorp Investments, Inc. are the joint book-running managers for the offering.

The offering is being made only by means of a prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus, which are part of a shelf registration statement that Fiserv has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, copies of which may be obtained by contacting J.P.

Forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties, and a number of factors, both foreseen and unforeseen, could cause actual results to differ materially from our current expectations. The factors that could cause Fiserv’s actual results to differ materially include, among others: the possibility that Fiserv and First Data may be unable to achieve expected synergies and operating efficiencies from the merger within the expected time frames or at all and to successfully integrate the operations of First Data into those of Fiserv; such integration may be more difficult, time-consuming or costly than expected; revenues following the merger may be lower than expected, including for possible reasons such as unexpected costs, charges or expenses resulting from the merger; operating costs, customer loss and business disruption (including, without limitation, difficulties in maintaining relationships with employees, customers, clients or suppliers) may be greater than expected following the merger; the retention of certain key employees; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the merger agreement; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Fiserv, First Data and others related to the merger agreement; unforeseen risks relating to liabilities of Fiserv or First Data may exist; conditions to the completion of the merger may not be satisfied, or the regulatory approvals required for the merger may not be obtained on the terms expected or on the anticipated schedule; the amount of the costs, fees, expenses and charges related to the merger, including the costs, fees, expenses and charges related to any financing arrangements entered into in connection with the merger; and the parties’ ability to meet expectations regarding the timing, completion and accounting and tax treatments of the merger. Fiserv and First Data are subject to, among other matters, changes in customer demand for their products and services; pricing and other actions by competitors; general changes in local, regional, national and international economic conditions and the impact they may have on Fiserv and First Data and their customers and Fiserv’s and First Data’s assessment of that impact; rapid technological developments and changes, and the ability of Fiserv’s and First Data’s technology to keep pace with a rapidly evolving marketplace; the impact of a security breach or operational failure on Fiserv’s and First Data’s business; the effect of proposed and enacted legislative and regulatory actions in the United States and internationally affecting the financial services industry as a whole and/or Fiserv and First Data and their subsidiaries individually or collectively; regulatory supervision and oversight, and Fiserv’s and First Data’s ability to comply with government regulations; the impact of Fiserv’s and First Data’s strategic initiatives; Fiserv’s and First Data’s ability to continue to introduce competitive new products and services on a timely, cost-effective basis; the ability to contain costs and expenses; the protection and validity of intellectual property rights; the outcome of pending and future litigation and governmental proceedings; acts of war and terrorism; and other factors identified in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, our Form 8-K filed on June 10, 2019 and other documents that we file with the SEC.
