Acquisition of Worldpay Acquisition of Worldpay

On March 17, 2019, FIS, Wrangler Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of FIS (“Merger Sub”), and Worldpay, Inc. (“Worldpay”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “merger agreement”) pursuant to which FIS would acquire Worldpay through a merger transaction (“Worldpay transaction,” “Transaction” or “ the merger”). On July 31, 2019, FIS completed the Transaction. Through its acquisition of Worldpay, FIS is now a global leader in technology, solutions and services for merchants, as well as banks and capital markets. The Worldpay acquisition brings an integrated technology platform with a comprehensive suite of products and services serving merchants and financial institutions. Worldpay processed over 40 billion transactions annually, supporting more than 300 payment types across 146 countries and 126 currencies. Through the Transaction, FIS will have enhanced global payment capabilities, robust risk and fraud solutions and advanced data analytics.

Pursuant to the merger agreement, FIS acquired 100 percent of the equity of Worldpay at the closing on July 31, 2019. At the closing, Worldpay shareholders received approximately 289 million shares of FIS common stock and $3.4 billion in cash, using an exchange ratio of 0.9287 FIS shares plus $11.00 in cash for each share of Worldpay common stock. FIS also converted approximately 7 million outstanding Worldpay equity awards into corresponding equity awards with respect to shares of FIS common stock pursuant to an exchange ratio in the merger agreement designed to maintain the intrinsic value of the applicable award immediately prior to conversion. In connection with the Transaction, FIS also repaid approximately $7.5 billion in Worldpay debt. The combination of stock and cash valued Worldpay at an enterprise value of approximately $50 billion, including the repayment of Worldpay debt of approximately $7.5 billion. As a result of the Transaction, legacy FIS shareholders own approximately 53 percent and legacy Worldpay shareholders own approximately 47 percent of the combined company on a fully diluted basis. FIS funded the cash portion of the merger consideration, the pay-off of the indebtedness of Worldpay and the payment of transaction-related expenses through a combination of available cash-on-hand and proceeds from debt issuances, including proceeds from concurrent public offerings on May 21, 2019 of Euro-, Pound Sterling-, and U.S. Dollar-denominated senior unsecured notes of FIS and borrowings under the newly established Euro-commercial paper program. See Note 7 for further discussion of these debt issuances.

Due to the close proximity in timing of the Transaction closing date and the Company's filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the initial accounting for the business combination is incomplete; therefore, the Company is unable to disclose certain information required by FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. The Company plans to provide preliminary purchase price allocation information in FIS' Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending September 30, 2019.
