Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements have been included. Such adjustments consisted of normal recurring items. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are presented as permitted by Form 10-Q and do not contain certain information included in the annual consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of Fiserv, Inc. (the “Company”). These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Fiserv, Inc. and all 100% owned subsidiaries. Investments in less than 50% owned affiliates in which the Company has significant influence but not control are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (“ASU 2015-03”). ASU 2015-03 requires that all costs incurred to issue debt be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability rather than as an asset. The standard does not affect the recognition and measurement of debt issuance costs; therefore, the amortization of such costs shall continue to be reported as interest expense. ASU 2015-03 will be effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permissible for financial statements that have not been previously issued. The new guidance is to be applied on a retrospective basis to all prior periods. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2015-03 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis (“ASU 2015-02”), which changes the analysis that a reporting entity must perform to determine whether it should consolidate certain types of legal entities. ASU 2015-02 clarifies how to determine whether equity holders as a group have power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the legal entity’s economic performance and could affect whether it is a variable interest entity. ASU 2015-02 will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015; early adoption is allowed, including in any interim period. The Company is currently assessing the impact that the adoption of ASU 2015-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”), to clarify the principles of recognizing revenue and to create common revenue recognition guidance between U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and International Financial Reporting Standards. ASU 2014-09 outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance. The core principle of the revenue model is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This model involves a five-step process for achieving that core principle, along with comprehensive disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. In July 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date of the new revenue standard for one year and will permit early adoption as of the original effective date in ASU 2014-09. For public entities, the standard will be effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Entities have the option of using either a full retrospective or a modified approach to adopt this new guidance. The Company is currently assessing the impact that the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

3. Fair Value Measurements

The Company applies fair value accounting for all assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in its consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis. Fair value represents the amount that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market and the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The fair values of cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, settlement assets and obligations, and accounts payable approximate their respective carrying values due to the short period of time to maturity. The estimated fair value of total debt was $4.3 billion at June 30, 2015 and $3.9 billion at December 31, 2014 and was estimated using quoted prices in inactive markets (level 2 of the fair value hierarchy) or using discounted cash flows based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rates (level 3 of the fair value hierarchy).

4. Investment in Unconsolidated Affiliate

The Company owns a 49% interest in StoneRiver Group, L.P. (“StoneRiver”), which is accounted for as an equity method investment, and reports its share of StoneRiver’s net income as income from investment in unconsolidated affiliate. The Company’s investment in StoneRiver was $22 million and $21 million at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, and was reported within other long-term assets in the consolidated balance sheets. To the extent that the Company’s cost basis is different than the basis reflected at the unconsolidated affiliate level, the basis difference is generally amortized over the lives of the related assets and included in the Company’s share of equity in earnings of the unconsolidated affiliate. During the second quarter of 2014, the Company received a $45 million cash dividend from StoneRiver, funded from a capital transaction. The entire dividend represented a return on the Company’s investment and was reported as cash flows from operating activities.

5. Share-Based Compensation

The Company recognized $18 million and $36 million of share-based compensation expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, and $12 million and $27 million of share-based compensation expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. The Company’s annual grant of share-based awards generally occurs in the first quarter. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company granted 1.1 million stock options and 0.3 million restricted stock units at weighted-average estimated fair values of $25.43 and $79.06, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company granted 1.3 million stock options and 0.5 million restricted stock units at weighted-average estimated fair values of $18.80 and $57.08, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, stock options to purchase 1.7 million and 0.8 million shares, respectively, were exercised.

6. Shares Used in Computing Net Income Per Share

The computation of shares used in calculating basic and diluted net income per common share is as follows:

Common stock equivalents

     3.9         4.1         4.1         4.1   
  

 

 

    

 

 

    

 

 

    

 

 

 

Weighted-average common shares outstanding used for the calculation of net income per share – diluted

     240.4         253.4         241.7         256.0   
  

 

 

    

 

 

    

 

 

    

 

 

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, stock options for 1.1 million and 1.4 million shares, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted-average outstanding shares because their impact was anti-dilutive. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, stock options for 0.8 million and 1.1 million shares, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted-average outstanding shares because their impact was anti-dilutive.

9. Long-Term Debt

In April 2015, the Company entered into an amended and restated revolving credit agreement that restated its existing $2.0 billion revolving credit agreement with a syndicate of banks and extended its maturity from October 2018 to April 2020. The amended and restated credit agreement also provided that the Company’s subsidiaries that were guaranteeing its obligations under the revolving credit facility were released from their respective guarantees. Borrowings under the amended revolving credit facility continue to bear interest at a variable rate based on LIBOR or on a base rate, plus a specified margin based on the Company’s long-term debt rating in effect from time to time. There are no significant commitment fees and no compensating balance requirements. The amended revolving credit facility contains various restrictions and covenants that are substantially similar to those under the Company’s previously existing credit agreement. In April 2015, the Company also entered into an amendment to its term loan facility to conform certain of its terms to those in the amended and restated credit agreement, including providing that its subsidiaries that were guaranteeing its obligations under the term loan facility were released from their respective guarantees. In addition, in April 2015, the Company provided notice to the trustee under the indenture and supplemental indentures governing its outstanding senior notes that the subsidiary guarantors of the outstanding senior notes were automatically released from all of their obligations under the supplemental indentures and their respective guarantees.

In May 2015, the Company completed an offering of $1.75 billion of senior notes comprised of $850 million aggregate principal amount of 2.7% senior notes due in June 2020 and $900 million aggregate principal amount of 3.85% senior notes due in June 2025. The notes pay interest semi-annually on June 1 and December 1, commencing on December 1, 2015. The interest rate applicable to these notes is subject to an increase of up to two percent in the event that the Company’s credit rating is downgraded below investment grade. The indentures governing the senior notes contain covenants that, among other matters, limit (i) the Company’s ability to consolidate or merge into, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its properties and assets to, another person, (ii) the Company’s and certain of its subsidiaries’ ability to create or assume liens, and (iii) the Company’s and certain of its subsidiaries’ ability to engage in sale and leaseback transactions. The Company used the net proceeds from this offering to redeem its $600 million aggregate principal amount of 3.125% senior notes due in June 2016 and $500 million aggregate principal amount of 6.8% senior notes due in November 2017. The Company recorded a pre-tax loss on early debt extinguishment of $85 million related to make-whole payments and other costs associated with this redemption. In addition, the Company paid scheduled December 2015 and December 2016 principal payments on the term loan totaling $180 million and repaid outstanding borrowings under the amended and restated revolving credit facility.

At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company’s $300 million aggregate principal amount of 3.125% senior notes due in October 2015 were classified in the consolidated balance sheets as long-term as the Company has the intent to refinance this debt on a long-term basis and the ability to do so under its amended and restated revolving credit facility.

As of June 30, 2015, the notional amount of these derivatives was approximately $57 million, and the fair value was nominal. As of December 31, 2014, the notional amount of these derivatives was approximately $73 million, and the fair value totaling approximately $1 million was recorded within current accrued expenses in the consolidated balance sheet.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Forward-Looking Statements

This quarterly report contains “forward-looking statements” intended to qualify for the safe harbor from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include those that express a plan, belief, expectation, estimation, anticipation, intent, contingency, future development or similar expression, and can generally be identified as forward-looking because they include words such as “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “could,” “should” or words of similar meaning. Statements that describe our future plans, objectives or goals are also forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements in this report 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 may affect our results include, among others: pricing and other actions by competitors; the capacity of our technology to keep pace with a rapidly evolving marketplace; the impact of market and economic conditions on the financial services industry; the impact of a security breach or operational failure on our business; the effect of legislative and regulatory actions in the United States and internationally; our ability to comply with government regulations; our ability to successfully identify, complete and integrate acquisitions; the impact of our strategic initiatives; and other factors identified in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 and in other documents that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. You should consider these factors carefully in evaluating forward-looking statements and are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. We undertake no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this report.

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is provided as a supplement to our unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes to help provide an understanding of our financial condition, the changes in our financial condition and our results of operations. Our discussion is organized as follows:

 

    Overview. This section contains background information on our company and the services and products that we provide, our enterprise priorities and the trends affecting our industry in order to provide context for management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations.

 

    Results of operations. This section contains an analysis of our results of operations presented in the accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of income by comparing the results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 to the comparable period in 2014.

 

    Liquidity and capital resources. This section provides an analysis of our cash flows and a discussion of our outstanding debt as of June 30, 2015.

Overview

Company Background

We are a leading global provider of financial services technology. We provide account processing systems, electronic payments processing products and services, internet and mobile banking systems, and related services. We serve approximately 13,000 clients worldwide, including banks, thrifts, credit unions, investment management firms, leasing and finance companies, retailers, and merchants. The majority of our revenue is generated from recurring account- and transaction-based fees under contracts that generally have terms of three to five years and high renewal rates. Most of the services we provide are necessary for our clients to operate their businesses and are, therefore, non-discretionary in nature.

Our operations are principally located in the United States and are comprised of the Payments and Industry Products (“Payments”) segment and the Financial Institution Services (“Financial”) segment. The Payments segment primarily provides debit, credit and prepaid card processing and services, electronic bill payment and presentment services, internet and mobile banking software and services, person-to-person payment services, and other electronic payments software and services. Our businesses in this segment also provide card and print personalization services, investment account processing services for separately managed accounts, and fraud and risk management products and services. The Financial segment provides banks, thrifts, credit unions, and leasing and finance companies with account processing services, item processing and source capture services, loan origination and servicing products, cash management and consulting services, and other products and services that support numerous types of financial transactions. The Corporate and Other segment primarily consists of unallocated corporate expenses, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, intercompany eliminations and other costs that are not considered when management evaluates segment performance.

Enterprise Priorities

We continue to implement a series of strategic initiatives to help accomplish our mission of providing integrated technology and services solutions that enable best-in-class results for our clients. These strategic initiatives include active portfolio management of our various businesses, enhancing the overall value of our existing client relationships, improving operational effectiveness, being disciplined in our allocation of capital, and differentiating our products and services through innovation. Our key enterprise priorities for 2015 are: (i) to continue to build high-quality revenue while meeting our earnings goals; (ii) to build and extend client relationships with an increased emphasis on payment and channel solutions; and (iii) to deliver innovation and integration which enables differentiation and value for our clients.

Industry Trends

The market for products and services offered by financial institutions continues to evolve rapidly. The financial industry regularly introduces and implements new payment, deposit, lending, investment and risk management products, and the distinctions among the products and services traditionally offered by different types of financial institutions continue to narrow as they seek to serve the same customers. At the same time, regulatory conditions have continued to create a difficult operating environment for financial institutions. In particular, legislation such as the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act has generated, and will continue to generate, numerous new regulations that will impact the financial industry. These conditions, along with mild economic improvement, have created heightened interest in solutions that help financial institutions win and retain customers, generate incremental revenue, comply with regulations and enhance operating efficiency. Examples of these solutions include our electronic payments solutions and channels such as internet, mobile and tablet banking, sometimes referred to as “digital channels.”

This increased focus on digital channels by both financial institutions and their customers, as well as the growing volume and types of payment transactions in the marketplace, have increased the data and transaction processing needs of financial institutions. We expect that financial institutions will continue to invest significant capital and human resources to process transactions, manage information and offer innovative new services to their customers in this rapidly evolving and competitive environment. We anticipate that we will benefit over the long term from the trend of financial institutions moving from in-house technology to outsourced solutions as they seek to remain current on technology changes amidst an evolving marketplace. We believe that economies of scale in developing and maintaining the infrastructure, technology, products, services and networks necessary to be competitive in such an environment are essential to justify these investments, and we anticipate that demand for products that facilitate customer interaction with financial institutions, including electronic transactions through digital channels, will continue to increase, which we expect to create revenue opportunities for us. Based on these market conditions, we believe that our sizable and diverse client base, combined with our position as a leading provider of non-discretionary, recurring revenue-based products and services, gives us a solid foundation for growth. Furthermore, we believe that the integration of our products and services creates a compelling value proposition for our clients.

In addition to the trends described above, the financial institutions marketplace has experienced change in composition as well. During the past 25 years, the number of financial institutions in the United States has declined at a relatively steady rate of approximately 3% per year, primarily as a result of voluntary mergers and acquisitions. Rather than reducing the overall market, these consolidations have transferred accounts among financial institutions. An acquisition benefits us when a newly combined institution is processed on our system, or elects to move to one of our systems, and negatively impacts us when a competing system is selected. Financial institution acquisitions also impact our financial results due to early contract termination fees in our multi-year client contracts, which are primarily generated when an existing client with a multi-year contract is acquired by another financial institution. These fees can vary from period to period based on the number and size of clients that are acquired and how early in the contract term the contract is terminated. Our revenue is diversified, and our focus on long-term client relationships and recurring, transaction-oriented products and services has reduced the impact that consolidation in the financial services industry has had on us. We have clients that span the entire range of financial institutions in terms of asset size and business model, and our 50 largest financial institution clients represent less than 25% of our annual revenue. In addition, we believe that our products and services can assist financial institutions with the regulatory and market challenges that they currently face by providing, among other things, new sources of revenue and opportunities to reduce their costs.

Total Revenue

Total revenue increased $45 million, or 4%, in the second quarter of 2015 compared to 2014 and increased $86 million, or 3%, in the first six months of 2015 compared to 2014, driven by both our Payments and Financial segments. Foreign currency fluctuations negatively impacted overall revenue growth by approximately 50 basis points in both the second quarter and first six months of 2015.

Revenue in our Payments segment increased $32 million, or 5%, and $55 million, or 4%, during the second quarter and first six months of 2015, respectively, compared to 2014. Payments segment revenue growth was driven by our recurring revenue businesses as processing and services revenue increased $39 million, or 8%, and $64 million, or 6%, in the second quarter and first six months of 2015, respectively, over the prior year periods. This growth was primarily due to new clients and increased transaction volumes from existing clients in our card services, biller solutions and bill payment businesses, as well as in our digital channels business, which includes our online and mobile banking solutions.

Revenue in our Financial segment increased $13 million, or 2%, and $31 million, or 3%, during the second quarter and first six months of 2015, respectively, compared to 2014. Increased processing and services revenue in our account processing and lending businesses favorably impacted segment revenue growth in both the second quarter and first six months of 2015.

Total Expenses

Total expenses increased $26 million, or 3%, in the second quarter of 2015 and increased $24 million, or 1%, in the first six months of 2015 compared to the prior year periods. Total expenses as a percentage of total revenue decreased 60 basis points from 75.5% in the second quarter of 2014 to 74.9% in the second quarter of 2015 and decreased 170 basis points from 76.8% in the first six months of 2014 to 75.1% in the first six months of 2015.

Cost of processing and services as a percentage of processing and services revenue decreased to 48.9% in the second quarter of 2015 compared to 50.6% in the second quarter of 2014 and to 49.8% in the first six months of 2015 as compared to 51.6% in the first six months of 2014. Cost of processing and services as a percentage of processing and services revenue was favorably impacted by increased operating leverage in our recurring revenue businesses, as well as by operating efficiency initiatives across the company that have lowered our overall cost structure.

Cost of product as a percentage of product revenue in the second quarter of 2015 increased to 88.9% from 84.7% in the second quarter of 2014 and to 87.9% in the first six months of 2015 from 85.8% in the first six months of 2014. Cost of product as a percentage of product revenue was negatively impacted in 2015 by increased expenses associated with additional investments in our output solutions business, along with a slight decline in higher-margin software license revenue during the second quarter, as compared to the prior year periods.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue increased to 20.2% in the second quarter of 2015 compared to 19.4% in the second quarter of 2014, largely due to increased share-based compensation and incremental costs associated with data center and real estate consolidation activities. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue was generally consistent for the first six months of 2015 at 19.4% compared to 19.5% in 2014.

Operating Income and Operating Margin

Total operating income increased $19 million, or 6%, and $62 million, or 11%, during the second quarter and first six months of 2015, respectively, compared to 2014. Total operating margin increased 60 basis points to 25.1% in the second quarter of 2015 and 170 basis points to 24.9% in the first six months of 2015 compared to the same periods in 2014. Operating income and operating margin improvements in 2015 were driven by scale efficiencies and operational effectiveness initiatives.

Operating income in our Payments segment increased $23 million, or 12%, and $34 million, or 9%, in the second quarter and first six months of 2015, respectively, compared to 2014. Operating margin increased 200 basis points to 29.7% in the second quarter of 2015 and 140 basis points to 28.6% in the first six months of 2015, as compared to the prior year periods. The increases in operating income and margin in 2015 were primarily due to revenue growth and scale efficiencies in a number of our businesses, including card services, partially offset by increased expenses associated with additional investments in our biller and output solutions businesses.

Table of Contents

Operating income in our Financial segment increased $6 million, or 3%, and $25 million, or 6%, in the second quarter and first six months of 2015, respectively, compared to 2014. Operating margin increased 40 basis points to 34.5% in the second quarter of 2015 and 130 basis points to 34.4% in the first six months of 2015, as compared to the prior year periods. Operating income and operating margin in 2015 were positively impacted by revenue growth and scale efficiencies in our account processing and lending businesses, along with operational effectiveness initiatives.

The operating loss in the Corporate and Other segment increased $10 million in the second quarter of 2015 as compared to the second quarter of 2014 primarily due to increased severance expenses. For the first six months of 2015 and 2014, the operating loss in the Corporate and Other segment was relatively consistent, decreasing by $3 million.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased $8 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2015, or 20% and 10%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2014. The increase in 2015 was primarily due to the reclassification of unamortized losses on settled cash flow hedges to interest expense related to the early extinguishment of debt during the second quarter.

Loss on Early Debt Extinguishment

In May 2015, we redeemed our $600 million aggregate principal amount of 3.125% senior notes due in 2016 and $500 million aggregate principal amount of 6.8% senior notes due in 2017, which resulted in a pre-tax loss on early debt extinguishment of $85 million related to make-whole payments and other costs associated with the redemption.

Income Tax Provision

Our effective income tax rates for continuing operations were 34.4% and 34.8% in the second quarter and first six months of 2015, respectively, and were 37.7% and 33.5% in the second quarter and first six months of 2014, respectively. The lower effective tax rate in the first six months of 2014 was primarily attributed to the favorable resolution of certain tax matters.

Income from Investment in Unconsolidated Affiliate

Our share of the income of StoneRiver Group, L.P. (“StoneRiver”), a joint venture in which we own a 49% interest, decreased by $3 million in the first six months of 2015 compared to 2014. The 2015 decrease in income was primarily due to our share of a gain on the sale of a subsidiary business at StoneRiver in the first quarter of 2014. Additionally, the income contribution from StoneRiver has declined as StoneRiver continues to monetize its business portfolio.

Net Income Per Share – Diluted from Continuing Operations

Net income per share-diluted from continuing operations was $0.53 and $0.65 in the second quarter of 2015 and 2014, respectively, and was $1.26 and $1.31 in the first six months of 2015 and 2014, respectively. Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets reduced net income per share-diluted from continuing operations by $0.13 per share in both the second quarter of 2015 and 2014, and $0.26 per share in both the first six months of 2015 and 2014. In addition, net income per share-diluted was negatively impacted by debt extinguishment and refinancing costs of $0.25 per share in both the second quarter and first six months of 2015.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

Our primary liquidity needs are: (i) to fund normal operating expenses; (ii) to meet the interest and principal requirements of our outstanding indebtedness; and (iii) to fund capital expenditures and operating lease payments. We believe these needs will be satisfied using cash flow generated by our operations, our cash and cash equivalents of $530 million at June 30, 2015 and available borrowings under our revolving credit facility. The following table presents our operating cash flow and capital expenditure amounts for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Our net cash provided by operating activities, or operating cash flow, was $600 million in the first six months of 2015, an increase of 5% compared with $569 million in 2014, which included a cash dividend of $45 million received from our StoneRiver joint venture, representing a return on our investment.

Our current policy is to use our operating cash flow primarily to repay debt and fund capital expenditures, acquisitions and share repurchases, rather than to pay dividends. Our capital expenditures were approximately 8% and 6% of our total revenue in the first six months of 2015 and 2014, respectively. Capital expenditures in 2015 include $43 million, consisting primarily of leasehold improvements associated with the construction of a new building related to our Atlanta facility consolidation, of which $24 million is offset by landlord reimbursements included in net changes in working capital and other.

During the first six months of 2015, we purchased $535 million of our common stock. As of June 30, 2015, we had approximately 12.9 million shares remaining under our current share repurchase authorization. Shares repurchased are generally held for issuance in connection with our equity plans.

Revolving Credit Facility

In April 2015, we entered into an amended and restated revolving credit agreement that restated our existing $2.0 billion revolving credit agreement with a syndicate of banks and extended its maturity from October 2018 to April 2020. The amended and restated credit agreement also provided that our subsidiaries that were guaranteeing our obligations under the revolving credit facility were released from their respective guarantees. Borrowings under the amended revolving credit facility continue to bear interest at a variable rate based on LIBOR or on a base rate, plus a specified margin based on our long-term debt rating in effect from time to time. There are no significant commitment fees and no compensating balance requirements. The amended revolving credit facility contains various restrictions and covenants that are substantially similar to those under our previously existing credit agreement and require us, among other things, to: (i) limit our consolidated indebtedness as of the end of each fiscal quarter to no more than three and one-half times consolidated net earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and certain other adjustments during the period of four fiscal quarters then ended, and (ii) maintain consolidated net earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and certain other adjustments of at least three times consolidated interest expense as of the end of each fiscal quarter for the period of four fiscal quarters then ended. As of June 30, 2015, there were no outstanding borrowings on the revolving credit facility.

Term Loan

We maintain a term loan with a syndicate of banks that matures in October 2018 and bears interest at a variable rate based on LIBOR or on a base rate, plus a specified margin based on our long-term debt rating in effect from time to time. The variable interest rate on the term loan borrowings was 1.44% as of June 30, 2015. A remaining scheduled principal payment of $90 million is due on December 31, 2017, with the outstanding principal balance of $540 million due at maturity. The term loan facility contains various restrictions and covenants substantially similar to those contained in the revolving credit facility described above. In April 2015, we entered into an amendment to our term loan facility to conform certain of its terms to those in the amended and restated credit agreement, including providing that our subsidiaries that were guaranteeing our obligations under the term loan facility were released from their respective guarantees.

Senior Notes

In April 2015, we provided notice to the trustee under the indenture and supplemental indentures governing our outstanding senior notes that the subsidiary guarantors of the outstanding senior notes were automatically released from all of their obligations under the supplemental indentures and their respective guarantees.

In May 2015, we completed an offering of $1.75 billion of senior notes comprised of $850 million aggregate principal amount of 2.7% senior notes due in June 2020 and $900 million aggregate principal amount of 3.85% senior notes due in June 2025. The notes pay interest semi-annually on June 1 and December 1, commencing on December 1, 2015. The interest rate applicable to these notes is subject to an increase of up to two percent in the event that our credit rating is downgraded below investment grade. The indentures governing the senior notes contain covenants that, among other matters, limit (i) our ability to consolidate or merge into, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of our properties and assets to, another person, (ii) our and certain of our subsidiaries’ ability to create or assume liens, and (iii) our and certain of our subsidiaries’ ability to engage in sale and leaseback transactions. We used the net proceeds from this offering to redeem our $600 million aggregated principal amount of 3.125% senior notes due in June 2016 and $500 million aggregate principal amount of 6.8% senior notes due in November 2017. We recorded a pre-tax loss on early debt extinguishment of $85 million related to make-whole payments and other costs associated with this redemption. In addition, we paid scheduled December 2015 and December 2016 principal payments on the term loan totaling $180 million and repaid outstanding borrowings under the amended and restated revolving credit facility. The remaining net proceeds from the offering are available for general corporate purposes.

At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, our $300 million aggregate principal amount of 3.125% senior notes due in October 2015 were classified in the consolidated balance sheets as long-term as we have the intent to refinance this debt on a long-term basis and the ability to do so under our amended and restated revolving credit facility.

(1)  Upon being elected or re-elected as a director, each non-employee director will receive such number of restricted stock units as is determined by dividing $86,000 by the closing price of our common stock on the grant date.
(2)  Upon being elected or re-elected as a director, each non-employee director will receive a stock option having $86,000 in value. The number of shares for which the option may be exercised will be determined by dividing $86,000 by a binomial valuation of an option of one share of our common stock on the grant date.
(3)  The chairman retainer is in addition to the standard board retainer.

Vesting

Stock options and restricted stock units will vest 100% on the earlier of (i) the first anniversary of the grant date or (ii) immediately prior to the first annual meeting of shareholders following the grant date.

Deferred Compensation Plan

We have a non-employee director deferred compensation plan. This plan allows directors to defer all or a part of their cash retainers until their service on the board ends. Based on the deferral election, the director is credited with a number of share units which are equivalent to shares of our common stock with no voting rights. Upon cessation of service on the board, the director receives a share of common stock for each share unit in a lump sum distribution.

Restricted stock units are hypothetical shares of our common stock that are settled in shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis upon vesting. Under the deferred compensation plan, directors may defer receipt of shares issuable pursuant to the restricted stock units until their service on the board ends.

  (i) During the time of your employment with Fiserv, you will not: (A) perform duties as or for a Competitor, Client or Prospective Client of Fiserv (except to the extent required by your employment with Fiserv); or (B) participate in the inducement of or otherwise encourage Fiserv employees, clients, or vendors to currently and/or prospectively breach, modify, or terminate any agreement or relationship they have or had with Fiserv.

No provision of these subsections (i) and (ii) shall apply to restrict your conduct, or trigger any reimbursement obligations under this Agreement, in any jurisdiction where such provision is, on its face, unenforceable and/or void as against public policy, unless the provision may be construed or deemed amended to be enforceable and compliant with public policy, in which case the provision will apply as construed or deemed amended.

 

  (d) You acknowledge and agree that compliance with this Section 5 is necessary to protect the Company, and that a breach of any of this Section 5 will result in irreparable and continuing damage to the Company for which there will be no adequate remedy at law.

6. Exercise of Option. To exercise the Option, you must complete the transaction through our administrative agent’s website at www.netbenefits.fidelity.com or call its toll free number at (800) 544-9354, specifying the number of Option Shares being purchased as a result of such exercise, and make payment of the full Exercise Price for the Option Shares being purchased. In no event may a fraction of a share be exercised or acquired. You must also pay any taxes or other amounts required to be withheld as provided in Section 9 of this Agreement.

 

7. Termination of Employment.

 

  (a) Vesting. If you cease to be an employee of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company for any reason other than Cause (a “Termination Event”), the Option may be exercised to the same extent that you were entitled to exercise the Option on the date of the Termination Event and had not previously done so. The remaining Option Shares that are not vested on such date shall become exercisable as follows:

 

Reason for Termination Event

   Unvested Option Shares that
Become Exercisable
 

Death or Disability

     100

Any other reason

     0

 

  (b) Deadline for Exercise.

 

  (i) If your Termination Event is by reason of death or Disability, then you are (or in the event of your death or Disability resulting in judicial appointment of a guardian ad litem, administrator or other legal representative, the executor or administrator of your estate, any person who shall have acquired the Option through bequest or inheritance or such guardian ad litem, administrator or other legal representative is) entitled to exercise the Option per the terms contained herein within one year after you experience said Termination Event.

 

  (ii) Subject to Section 7(d), if your Termination Event is for a reason other than death or Disability, you are entitled to exercise the Option per the terms contained herein within 90 days after you experience said Termination Event.

 

  (iii) If you die within the exercise periods described in subsections (i) or (ii) above, your executor, the administrator of your estate, or your beneficiary may exercise the Option within one year after your death.

 

  (c) Expiration. Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Section 7 to the contrary, in no event may the Option be exercised to any extent by anyone after the Expiration Date set forth in the Award Memorandum.

 

  (d) For Cause Termination Event. If your employment is terminated for Cause (a “For Cause Termination Event”), the Option, whether or not vested, shall terminate immediately. For the sake of clarity, in the event that you experience a For Cause Termination Event, there shall be no accelerated vesting under Section 7(a).

 

  (e)

Change of Control. If a Change of Control of the Company occurs, the provisions of Section 17(c) of the Plan shall apply to the Option. If the successor or purchaser in the

 

5


  Change of Control has assumed the Company’s obligations with respect to the Option or provided a substitute award as contemplated by Section 17(c)(i) of the Plan and, within 12 months following the occurrence of the Change of Control, you are terminated without Cause or you terminate your employment for Good Reason (as hereinafter defined), the Option or such substitute award shall become fully vested and exercisable with respect to all Option Shares covered by the Option as of the time immediately prior to such termination of employment and, notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the Option shall become exercisable by you for 90 days following such termination (or such longer period as is otherwise specified in Section 7(b)), and the provisions of Section 5 shall immediately cease to apply.

“Good Reason” means your suffering any of the following events without your consent: (x) a significant or material lessening of your responsibilities; (y) a reduction in your annual base salary or a material reduction in the level of incentive compensation for which you have been eligible during the two years immediately prior to the occurrence of the Change of Control and/or a material adverse change in the conditions governing receipt of such incentive compensation from those that prevailed prior to the occurrence of the Change of Control; or (z) the Company requiring you to be based anywhere other than within 50 miles of your place of employment at the time of the occurrence of the Change of Control, except for reasonably required travel to an extent substantially consistent with your business travel obligations.

 

  (f) Service as Director. For purposes of this Agreement, an employee of the Company, if also serving as a director, will not be deemed to have terminated employment for purposes of this Agreement until his or her service as a director ends, and his or her years of service will be deemed to include years of service as a director.

 

  (g) No Further Obligation. The Company will have no further obligations to you under this Agreement if the Option ceases to become exercisable as provided herein.

 

8. Issuance of Shares. The Company, or its transfer agent, will issue and deliver the Option Shares to you as soon as practicable after you exercise any part of the Option and pay the Exercise Price Per Option Share and all related withholding taxes. If you die before the Company has distributed any portion of the Option Shares purchased upon exercise, the Company will issue the Option Shares to your estate or in accordance with applicable laws of descent and distribution. The Option Shares will be issued in book entry form, and the Company will not be liable for damages relating to any delays in making an appropriate book entry or any mistakes or errors in the making of the book entry; provided that the Company shall correct any errors caused by it. Any such book entry will be subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Company may deem advisable under (a) the Plan and any agreement between you and the Company with respect to the Option Shares, (b) any applicable federal or state laws, and/or (c) the rules, regulations and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or any stock exchange upon which the Option Shares are listed. The Company may cause an appropriate book entry notation to be made with respect to the Option Shares to reference any of the foregoing restrictions.

 

9.

Non-Transferability of Award. Except as provided in the Plan, this Agreement and the Award Memorandum, until the Option Shares have been purchased upon exercise of any part of this Option, this Option and the Option Shares issuable upon exercise hereunder and the rights and privileges conferred hereby may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise

 

6


  alienated or hypothecated (by operation of law or otherwise). Upon any attempt to transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of this Option, or of any right or privilege conferred hereby, contrary to the provisions of the Plan or of this Agreement, or upon any attempted sale under any execution, attachment or similar process upon the rights and privileges conferred hereby, this Option and the rights and privileges conferred hereby shall immediately become null and void.

 

10. Conditions to Issuance of Shares. The Option Shares issued to you hereunder upon exercise and purchase may be either previously authorized but unissued shares or issued shares which have been reacquired by the Company. The Company shall not be required to issue any Option Shares hereunder prior to fulfillment of all of the following conditions: (a) the admission of such Option Shares to listing on all stock exchanges on which such class of stock is then listed; (b) the completion of any registration or other qualification of such Option Shares under any state or federal law or under the rulings or regulations of the SEC or any other governmental regulatory body, which the compensation committee of the Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) shall, in its discretion, deem necessary or advisable; (c) the obtaining of any approval or other clearance from any state or federal governmental agency, which the Compensation Committee shall, in its discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable; (d) the lapse of such reasonable period of time following the exercise of the Option as the Compensation Committee may establish from time to time for reasons of administrative convenience; and (e) your acceptance of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Award Memorandum and the Plan within the time period and in the manner specified in this Agreement.

 

11. No Rights as Shareholder. Until you exercise any part of this Option, purchase Option Shares and the Option Shares are issued to you, you shall have no rights as a shareholder of the Company with respect to the Option Shares. Specifically, you understand and agree that you do not have voting rights or the right to receive dividends or any other distributions paid with respect to shares of Company common stock by virtue of this Option or the Option Shares subject hereto.

 

12. Addresses for Notices. Any notice to be given to the Company under the terms of this Agreement shall be addressed to the Company as follows: Corporate Secretary, Fiserv, Inc., 255 Fiserv Drive, Brookfield, WI 53045, or at such other address as the Company may hereafter designate in writing. Any notice to be given to you shall be addressed to you at the address set forth in the Company’s records from time to time.

 

13. Captions; Agreement Severable. Captions provided herein are for convenience only and are not to serve as a basis for interpretation or construction of this Agreement. In the event that any provision in this Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be severable from, and such invalidity or unenforceability shall not be construed to have any effect on, the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

 

14. Securities and Tax Representations.

 

  (a) You acknowledge receipt of the prospectus under the Registration Statement on Form S-8 with respect to the Plan filed by the Company with the SEC. You represent and agree that you will comply with all applicable laws and Company policies relating to the Plan, this Agreement, the exercise of the Option and any disposition of the Option Shares, and that upon the acquisition of any Option Shares, you will make or enter into such written representations, warranties and agreements as the Company may reasonably request to comply with applicable securities laws or this Agreement.

 

7


  (b) You represent and warrant that you understand the federal, state and local income and employment tax consequences of the granting of the Option, the exercise of the Option, the purchase of Option Shares, and the subsequent sale or other disposition of any Option Shares. You understand and agree that when you exercise the Option, and thereby realize gross income (if any) taxable as compensation in respect of such exercise, the Company will be required to withhold federal, state and local taxes on the full amount of the compensation income realized by you and may also be required to withhold other amounts as a result of such exercise unless the Option is an incentive stock option. Accordingly, at or prior to the time that you exercise the Option, you hereby agree to provide the Company with cash funds or Option Shares equal in value to the total federal, state and local taxes and other amounts required to be withheld by the Company or its subsidiary in respect of any compensation income in relation to the Option Shares or make other arrangements satisfactory to the Company regarding such amounts. All matters with respect to the total amount to be withheld as a result of the exercise of the Option shall be determined by the Company in its sole discretion.

 

15. Market Stand-Off. The Company reserves the right to impose restrictions on dispositions in connection with any underwritten public offering by the Company of its equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Upon receipt of written notice from the Company of a trading restriction, you agree that you shall not directly or indirectly sell, make any short sale of, loan, hypothecate, pledge, offer, grant or sell any option or other contract for the purchase of, purchase any option or other contract for the sale of, or otherwise dispose of or transfer or agree to engage in any of the foregoing transactions with respect to, any Option Shares acquired under this Option without the prior written consent of the Company. Such restriction shall be in effect for such period of time following the date of the final prospectus for the offering as may be determined by the Company. In no event, however, shall such period exceed one hundred eighty (180) days.

 

16. General Provisions.

 

  (a) None of the Plan, this Agreement or the Award Memorandum confers upon you any right to continue to be employed by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company or limits in any respect any right of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company to terminate your employment at any time, without liability.
