Each outstanding share of Fiserv common stock is entitled to one vote on each matter to be acted upon at the Fiserv special meeting.

The inspector of election appointed for the Fiserv special meeting will determine whether a quorum is present at the special meeting. The inspector of election will treat abstentions and broker non-votes as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum.

It is expected that Fiserv’s directors and executive officers will vote their shares “FOR” the Fiserv share issuance proposal and “FOR” the Fiserv adjournment proposal.

First Data Solicitation of Written Consents (See page 65)

Written Consents

The First Data stockholders are being asked to “CONSENT” to the First Data merger proposal and “CONSENT” to the First Data compensation proposal, by signing and delivering the written consent furnished with this joint proxy and consent solicitation statement/prospectus.

Shares Entitled to Consent and Consent Required

Only First Data stockholders of record as of the First Data record date, which will be the close of business on [●], 2019, will be notified of and be entitled to sign and return a written consent. Under the First Data certificate of incorporation, each outstanding share of First Data Class A common stock is entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to a vote or to be acted on by written consent and each outstanding share of First Data Class B common stock is entitled to 10 votes on each matter submitted to a vote or to be acted on by written consent.

Approval of the First Data merger proposal and, on a non-binding, advisory basis, the First Data compensation proposal each requires the consent of the holders of a majority of the total aggregate voting power of the shares of First Data common stock issued and outstanding, voting as a single class. As of the close of business on the First Data record date, there were [●] shares of First Data Class A common stock and [●] shares of First Data Class B common stock issued and outstanding and entitled to consent with respect to the approval of the First Data merger proposal and, on a non-binding, advisory basis, the First Data compensation proposal.

Directors and officers of First Data and their affiliates owned and were entitled to consent with respect to shares of First Data common stock, representing approximately [●]% of the total aggregate voting power of the shares of First Data common stock issued and outstanding as of the close of business on the First Data record date. First Data currently expects that its directors and officers will deliver written consents in favor of the First Data merger proposal and, on a non-binding, advisory basis, the First Data compensation proposal, although none of them has entered into any agreements obligating him or her to do so. New Omaha owns First Data common stock having the right to vote approximately 86% of the total aggregate voting power of the shares of First Data common stock issued and outstanding. New Omaha has agreed, unless the First Data board effects a change in First Data recommendation in accordance with the merger agreement, to deliver to First Data a written consent with respect to all of its shares of First Data common stock under a voting and support agreement between New Omaha and Fiserv. For additional information, see “The Ancillary Agreements—Voting and Support Agreement” beginning on page 180.

The Merger and the Merger Agreement (See pages 66 and 146)

Merger Sub will merge with and into First Data, with First Data as the surviving corporation in the merger and becoming a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Fiserv, and the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub will cease. Following completion of the merger, the First Data Class A common stock will be delisted from the NYSE, will be deregistered under the Exchange Act and will cease to be publicly traded.

A copy of the merger agreement is attached as Annex A to this joint proxy and consent solicitation statement/prospectus. You are urged to read the merger agreement in its entirety because it is the legal document that governs the merger. For more information on the merger and the merger agreement, see “The Merger” and “The Merger Agreement” beginning on pages 69 and 153, respectively.

As of the date of this joint proxy and consent solicitation statement/prospectus, it is not possible to accurately estimate the closing date because the merger is subject to the satisfaction (or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, waiver) of the conditions to Fiserv’s and First Data’s obligations to complete the merger;

however, Fiserv and First Data currently expect the merger to close during the second half of 2019. Due to the Fiserv shareholder approval, First Data stockholder approval and regulatory approvals as well as other conditions required to complete the merger, no assurance can be given as to when, or if, the merger will be completed.

Merger Consideration (See page 147)

At the effective time, each share of First Data common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time (other than the excluded shares as described in “The Merger Agreement—Merger Consideration” beginning on page 154) will be converted into the right to receive, without interest and subject to any applicable withholding taxes, 0.303 of a share, which we refer to as the exchange ratio, of Fiserv common stock.

Based on the $75.04 closing price of Fiserv common stock on January 15, 2019, the last full trading day before the public announcement of the merger, the per share value of First Data common stock implied by the merger consideration is $22.74. Based on the $[●] closing price of Fiserv common stock on [●], 2019, the most recent practicable date prior to the date of this joint proxy and consent solicitation statement/prospectus, the per share value of First Data common stock implied by the merger consideration is $[●].

The exchange ratio is fixed, which means that it will not change between now and the closing date, regardless of whether the market price of either Fiserv common stock or First Data common stock changes. Therefore, the value of the merger consideration will depend on the market price of Fiserv common stock at the effective time. The market price of Fiserv common stock has fluctuated since the date of the announcement of the merger agreement and will continue to fluctuate from the date of this joint proxy and consent solicitation statement/prospectus to the time by which the First Data stockholders are required to deliver their written consents, the date of the Fiserv shareholder meeting, the date the merger is completed and thereafter. The market price of Fiserv common stock, when received by First Data stockholders after the merger is completed, could be greater than, less than or the same as the market price of Fiserv common stock on the date of this joint proxy and consent solicitation statement/prospectus or at the time by which the First Data stockholders are required to deliver their written consents. Accordingly, you should obtain current stock price quotations for Fiserv common stock and First Data Class A common stock before deciding how to vote or whether you consent to, withhold consent from or abstain, as applicable, from any of the proposals described in this joint proxy and written consent statement/prospectus. Fiserv’s common stock is traded on the NASDAQ under the symbol “FISV” and First Data’s Class A common stock is traded on the NYSE under the symbol “FDC.”

Treatment of Fractional Shares (See page 154)

No fractional shares of Fiserv common stock will be issued upon the conversion of shares of First Data common stock pursuant to the merger agreement. In lieu of the issuance of any fractional shares, Fiserv will pay an amount in cash as further described in “The Merger Agreement—Treatment of Fractional Shares” beginning on page 147.

Treatment of First Data Equity Awards (See page 154)

First Data Time-Vesting IPO Awards

At the effective time, the First Data equity awards granted at or before the time of the First Data IPO that are subject to time-based vesting, which we refer to as time-vesting IPO awards, will, automatically and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, accelerate in full in accordance with their terms, except for the time-vesting IPO awards held by the First Data CEO, which will be converted into Fiserv equity awards in a manner consistent with the First Data equity awards granted after the First Data IPO. Each restricted share and restricted stock unit award that is a time-vesting IPO award will be settled in shares of Fiserv common stock based on the

exchange ratio, and each time-vesting IPO stock option award will be converted into an option to purchase a number of shares of Fiserv common stock equal to the number of shares of First Data common stock subject to such option award multiplied by the exchange ratio, with an exercise price per share equal to the exercise price per share of such stock option immediately prior to the effective time divided by the exchange ratio.

First Data Performance-Vesting IPO Awards

At the effective time, the First Data equity awards granted at the time of the First Data IPO that are subject to vesting solely upon achievement of a $32 price per share of First Data common stock, which we refer to as performance-vesting IPO awards, will be converted into an equity award denominated in shares of Fiserv common stock and will remain eligible to vest upon satisfaction of an adjusted performance condition based on a target price per share of Fiserv common stock equal to the existing First Data target price divided by the exchange ratio. Each restricted share and restricted stock unit award that is a performance-vesting IPO award will be converted into an award denominated in shares of Fiserv common stock based on the exchange ratio, and each performance-vesting IPO stock option award will be converted into an option to purchase a number of shares of Fiserv common stock equal to the number of shares of First Data common stock subject to such option award multiplied by the exchange ratio, with an exercise price per share equal to the exercise price per share of such stock option immediately prior to the effective time divided by the exchange ratio. As converted, the performance-vesting IPO awards will continue to be governed by the same terms and conditions as were applicable prior to the effective time.

First Data Awards Granted After the IPO

At the effective time, any other First Data equity awards, whether vested or unvested, will automatically and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into equity awards denominated in shares of Fiserv common stock and will continue to be governed by the same terms and conditions as were applicable prior to such time. Each such restricted share and restricted stock unit award that was granted after the First Data IPO will be converted into an award denominated in shares of Fiserv common stock based on the exchange ratio, and each such stock option award will be converted into an option to purchase a number of shares of Fiserv common stock equal to the number of shares of First Data common stock subject to such option award multiplied by the exchange ratio, with an exercise price per share equal to the exercise price per share of such stock option immediately prior to the effective time divided by the exchange ratio.

Any First Data equity award that is converted into a Fiserv equity award, which we refer to as converted equity awards, other than the converted performance-vesting IPO awards, will be subject to “double-trigger” vesting in the event of an involuntary termination that would result in the payment of severance benefits under the First Data severance policy or other applicable agreement. In addition, such converted equity awards will be subject to “double-trigger” vesting in the event an employee resigns due to a material diminution in duties, responsibilities, base salary or annual incentive compensation opportunity, but the First Data CEO has the sole right to determine whether there has been any such termination due to such material diminution with respect to any First Data employee (other than certain senior management employees of First Data), subject to an aggregate dollar cap.

First Data Employee Stock Purchase Plan

Prior to the effective time, First Data is required to take all actions that may be necessary or required under the ESPP to ensure that no offering period will be authorized or commenced after the date of the merger agreement and the ESPP shall terminate in its entirety at the effective time.

Interests of Certain Fiserv Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger (See page 133)

In considering the recommendation of the Fiserv board that the Fiserv shareholders vote “FOR” the Fiserv share issuance proposal and “FOR” the Fiserv adjournment proposal, Fiserv shareholders should be aware that the executive officers and directors of Fiserv have interests in the merger that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of Fiserv shareholders generally. The Fiserv board was aware of and carefully considered these interests, among other matters, when they approved the merger agreement and recommended that Fiserv shareholders approve the Fiserv share issuance proposal.

The by-laws of Fiserv, as so amended and restated pursuant to the merger agreement, are referred to as the Fiserv amended by-laws. The Fiserv amended by-laws, a form of which is set forth as Exhibit A to the merger agreement, which is included as Annex A to this joint proxy and consent solicitation statement/prospectus, will become effective as of the effective time and will be the by-laws of the combined company, until thereafter amended as provided therein, in the articles of incorporation of Fiserv or by applicable law.

Regulatory Approvals (See page 143)

General

Fiserv and First Data have agreed to use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate action, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable law or otherwise to complete and make effective the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement as promptly as practicable

prior to the termination date set forth in the merger agreement. For a description of the parties’ obligations with respect to regulatory approvals related to the merger, see “The Merger Agreement—Regulatory Matters; Efforts to Complete the Merger” beginning on page 164. For a description of the parties’ termination rights that may be implicated by regulatory approvals related to the merger as well as the termination fee payable in connection therewith, see “The Merger Agreement—Termination” beginning on page 175 and “The Merger Agreement—Termination Fee” beginning on page 177.

Requisite Regulatory Approvals

The completion of the merger is subject to the receipt of the requisite regulatory approvals described below:

There can be no assurance that the antitrust regulators or other government agencies, including state attorneys general or private parties, will not initiate actions to challenge the merger before or after it is completed, and, if such an action or challenge is made, there can be no assurance as to its result. Any such action or challenge to the merger could result in an administrative or court order enjoining the merger or in restrictions or conditions that would have a material adverse effect on Fiserv after completion of the merger. Such restrictions and conditions could include requiring the divestiture or spin-off of certain businesses, assets or products, the licensing of intellectual property rights and the imposition of limitations on the ability of Fiserv, as a condition to completion of the merger, to operate its business as it sees fit. Neither Fiserv nor First Data can provide assurance that any such conditions, terms, obligations or restrictions will not result in the delay or abandonment of the merger.

Ownership of the Combined Company After the Merger (See page 144)

As of the date of this joint proxy and consent solicitation statement/prospectus, based on the estimated number of shares of common stock of Fiserv and First Data that will be outstanding immediately prior to the completion of

the merger and the exchange ratio of 0.303, Fiserv and First Data estimate that holders of shares of Fiserv common stock as of immediately prior to the completion of the merger will hold, in the aggregate, approximately 57.5% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the combined company immediately following the completion of the merger, and holders of shares of First Data common stock as of immediately prior to the completion of the merger will hold, in the aggregate, approximately 42.5% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the combined company immediately following the completion of the merger.

Debt Financing (See page 144)

The merger is not subject to a financing condition.

As of December 31, 2018, Fiserv had total indebtedness of approximately $6 billion and First Data had total indebtedness of approximately $18 billion. In connection with the merger, on January 16, 2019, Fiserv entered into a bridge facility commitment letter, which we refer to as the original commitment letter, with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., which we refer to as JPMorgan Chase, pursuant to which JPMorgan Chase committed to provide a 364-day senior unsecured bridge term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $17 billion, which we refer to as the bridge facility, for the purpose of refinancing certain outstanding indebtedness of First Data and its subsidiaries on the closing date, making cash payments in lieu of fractional shares as part of the merger consideration, and paying fees and expenses related to the merger, the refinancing and the related transactions. On February 5, 2019, Fiserv entered into a joinder agreement to the original commitment letter to, among other things, add additional commitment parties and reallocate the commitments in respect of the capital markets tranche of the bridge facility thereunder. The original commitment letter, as amended by the joinder agreement, is referred to in this joint proxy and consent solicitation statement/prospectus as the commitment letter. Fiserv expects to replace the bridge facility prior to the closing of the merger with what we refer to as the permanent financing, which may include the issuance of debt securities and borrowings under a new senior unsecured term loan facility. Fiserv currently expects to issue $12 billion in new debt securities and to incur $5 billion in new term loans in connection with the permanent financing, although the final amounts and composition of the permanent financing could change.

In addition, on February 6, 2019, Fiserv amended its existing revolving credit facility, dated September 19, 2018, which we refer to as the existing revolving credit facility, to modify certain provisions in order to facilitate the merger and borrowings under the existing revolving credit facility in connection with the merger. Amounts available under Fiserv’s existing revolving credit facility may also be used to refinance certain outstanding indebtedness of First Data and its subsidiaries on the closing date, 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 further amend its existing revolving credit facility to obtain an increase of up to $1.5 billion in the commitments available to it under the existing revolving credit facility and to seek certain additional amendments to facilitate the operation of the combined business. However, there can be no assurance that Fiserv can obtain such an increase or additional amendments on satisfactory terms or at all.

The funding under the bridge facility on the closing date of is subject to certain conditions as set forth in the commitment letter, including, among others, completion of the merger substantially concurrent with the funding under the bridge facility, the non-occurrence of a material adverse effect (as defined in the commitment letter) with respect to First Data, delivery of certain financial statements of Fiserv and First Data, the accuracy in all material respects of certain representations and warranties, the execution and delivery of definitive documentation and other customary conditions more fully set forth in the commitment letter. The conditions precedent to the funding under the existing revolving credit facility on the closing date are substantially the same as the conditions precedent to the funding under the bridge facility on the closing date.

For information regarding the debt financing, see “The Merger—Debt Financing” beginning on page 144.

No Solicitation of Acquisition Proposals (See page 167)

Each of Fiserv and First Data has agreed that it will not, and it will cause its subsidiaries and its executive officers and directors not to, and use reasonable best efforts to cause its subsidiaries’ respective executive officers and directors and its and its subsidiaries’ respective representatives that are not executive officers or directors not to, directly or indirectly:

Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the approval by Fiserv shareholders of the Fiserv share issuance proposal or the submission by New Omaha of the New Omaha written consent, in the event that Fiserv or First Data, as applicable, receives an unsolicited bona fide written acquisition proposal after the date of the merger agreement (which acquisition proposal did not result from a breach of the merger agreement) and the Fiserv board or the First Data board, as applicable, concludes in good faith (after receiving the advice of its outside counsel and its outside financial advisor) that such acquisition proposal constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to result in, a superior proposal, Fiserv or First Data, as applicable, may, and may permit its subsidiaries and its subsidiaries’ respective representatives to, furnish, or cause to be furnished, confidential or non-public information or data and participate in such negotiations or discussions to the extent that the Fiserv board or the First Data board, as applicable, concludes in good faith (after receiving the advice of its outside counsel and its outside financial advisor) that failure to take such actions would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable law. Prior to providing any confidential or non-public information or data permitted to be provided pursuant to the foregoing provisions, (i) Fiserv or First Data, as applicable, are obligated to enter into a confidentiality agreement with such third party on terms no less favorable to it than the confidentiality agreement between Fiserv and First Data, and such confidentiality agreement will not provide such person with any exclusive right to negotiate with Fiserv or First Data, as applicable, and (ii) any confidential or non-public information to be provided by Fiserv or First Data, as applicable, to such third party shall have been previously provided, or is concurrently provided, to First Data, in the case of Fiserv, or Fiserv, in the case of First Data.

For more information, including the definition of “acquisition proposal,” see “The Merger Agreement—No Solicitation of Acquisition Proposals” beginning on page 167.

Change in Board Recommendation (See page 168)

Under the merger agreement, subject to certain exceptions described below, each of Fiserv and First Data has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the approval by Fiserv shareholders of the Fiserv share issuance proposal or the approval by First Data stockholders of the First Data merger proposal, as applicable.

However, if the Fiserv board or the First Data board, after receiving the advice of its outside counsel and its outside financial advisor, determines in good faith that it would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under

applicable law to continue to recommend the merger agreement, then the Fiserv board or the First Data board, as applicable, may take any of the following actions, which we refer to as the change in Fiserv recommendation or the change in First Data recommendation, as applicable:

Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Fiserv board nor the First Data board may effect a change in Fiserv recommendation or a change in First Data recommendation, as applicable, unless:

Any material amendment to any acquisition proposal will be deemed to be a new acquisition proposal, except that two business days’ prior written notice shall be given, instead of four business days as described above.

Conditions to the Completion of the Merger (See page 174)

The respective obligations of each of First Data, Fiserv, and Merger Sub to effect the merger are subject to the satisfaction at or prior to the effective time of the following conditions:

Either Fiserv or First Data may terminate the merger agreement at any time prior to the effective time under the following circumstances:

notwithstanding the foregoing, if the failure of the closing to occur by the initial termination date, the first extended termination date or the second extended termination date, as applicable, is due to the

failure of the party seeking to terminate the merger agreement or to extend the termination date, as applicable, to perform or observe the covenants and agreements of such party set forth in the merger agreement, such party will not have the right to seek to terminate the merger agreement or to extend the termination date, as applicable, such termination we refer to as an outside date termination;

NASDAQ Listing of Shares of Fiserv Common Stock (See page 151)

Under the terms of the merger agreement, Fiserv is required to cause shares of Fiserv common stock to be issued in connection with the merger to be authorized for listing on NASDAQ prior to the effective time. Accordingly, application will be made to have the shares of Fiserv common stock to be issued in connection with the merger authorized for listing on NASDAQ, where shares of Fiserv common stock are currently traded under the symbol “FISV.”

Delisting and Deregistration of First Data Class A Common Stock (See page 151)

If the merger is completed, there will no longer be any publicly held shares of First Data Class A common stock. Accordingly, First Data Class A common stock will no longer be listed on the NYSE and will be deregistered under the Exchange Act. Under the terms of the merger agreement, First Data is required to cooperate with Fiserv and use its reasonable best efforts to enable the delisting of First Data Class A common stock from the NYSE and the deregistration of First Data Class A common stock under the Exchange Act as promptly as practicable after the effective time. First Data Class B common stock is not listed on any national securities exchange and not registered under the Exchange Act.

The Ancillary Agreements (See page 180)

Voting and Support Agreement

Concurrently with the execution of the merger agreement, Fiserv and New Omaha entered into a voting and support agreement, dated the date of the merger agreement, with respect to all shares of First Data common stock that New Omaha beneficially owns as of the date of the merger agreement or thereafter.

New Omaha has irrevocably and unconditionally agreed that it will, within 24 hours after the time at which the registration statement on Form S-4, of which this joint proxy and consent solicitation statement/prospectus forms a part, becomes effective under the Securities Act and after New Omaha receives this joint proxy and written consent statement/prospectus, execute and deliver its written consent covering all of the shares of First Data common stock subject to the voting and support agreement approving the merger, adopting the merger agreement and approving any other matters necessary for the completion of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, including the merger, which we refer to as transaction matters.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the First Data board effects a change in First Data recommendation in accordance with the merger agreement, New Omaha’s voting obligations described above will be modified so that its obligations to vote in favor of the transaction matters are with respect to (i) the number of shares of First Data common stock representing 30% of the aggregate voting power of the First Data common stock issued and outstanding as of the time that the First Data board makes a change in First Data recommendation plus (ii) the number of shares of First Data common stock the aggregate voting power of which, as a percentage of the aggregate voting power of all outstanding shares of First Data common stock not covered by the preceding clause (i), is equal to the proportionate percentage.

As of the date of the voting and support agreement, the voting and support agreement covered 364,441,146 shares of First Data Class B common stock, or approximately 86% of the total aggregate voting power of the shares of First Data common stock issued and outstanding. Unless the First Data board effects a change in First Data recommendation in accordance with the merger agreement, the First Data merger proposal will be approved upon the execution and delivery by New Omaha of its written consent pursuant to the voting and support agreement as described above.

The voting and support agreement, including the irrevocable proxy granted thereunder, will terminate upon the termination of the merger agreement in accordance with its terms.

For more information, see “The Ancillary Agreements—Voting and Support Agreement” beginning on page 180 and Annex B to this joint proxy and consent solicitation statement/prospectus.

Shareholder Agreement

Concurrently with the execution of the merger agreement, Fiserv and New Omaha entered into a shareholder agreement, dated the date of the merger agreement and effective as of the effective time, in which, among other things, New Omaha agreed to certain restrictions with respect to its ownership of Fiserv common stock received in connection with the merger and Fiserv agreed to grant New Omaha certain rights relating to the appointment and election of directors.

New Omaha and Fiserv have agreed that until the aggregate beneficial ownership of New Omaha and all affiliate transferees first falls below 5%, New Omaha will not, and will cause certain of its affiliates not to, acquire, offer, propose to acquire or agree to acquire any additional shares of Fiserv common stock other than the Fiserv common stock acquired in the merger or through stock dividends, and will be subject to certain standstill provisions.

New Omaha has agreed, for the first three months following the effective time, not to transfer any shares of Fiserv common stock except (i) to an affiliate of New Omaha that agrees in writing to be bound by the shareholder agreement, which we refer to as an affiliate transferee; (ii) to Fiserv; or (iii) in a distribution to New Omaha’s equityholders. After the three-month anniversary of the effective time, New Omaha may transfer its shares of Fiserv common stock (A) in open market transactions under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, (B) in privately negotiated transactions, or (C) via widespread public offerings, and, with respect to each of (A), (B) and (C), until the shareholder agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms and subject to certain volume and other limitations.

In addition, Fiserv has agreed to grant New Omaha certain director election and appointment rights until the aggregate beneficial ownership of New Omaha and all affiliate transferees first falls below 5%.

The shareholder agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the termination of the merger agreement in accordance with its terms and (ii) the aggregate ownership of New Omaha and certain of its affiliates ceasing to be at least 3% of the issued and outstanding shares of Fiserv common stock.

For more information, see “The Ancillary Agreements—Shareholder Agreement” beginning on page 181 and Annex C to this joint proxy and consent solicitation statement/prospectus.

Registration Rights Agreement

Concurrently with the execution of the merger agreement, Fiserv and New Omaha entered into a registration rights agreement, dated the date of the merger agreement and effective as of the effective time. The registration rights agreement, among other things, grants certain registration rights to New Omaha, including shelf registration rights, demand registration rights and piggyback registration rights.

For more information, see “The Ancillary Agreements—Registration Rights Agreement” beginning on page 182 and Annex D to this joint proxy and consent solicitation statement/prospectus.

Comparison of the Rights of Fiserv Shareholders and First Data Stockholders (See page 199)

First Data stockholders will have different rights once they become Fiserv shareholders due to differences between the organizational documents of First Data and Fiserv. See “Comparison of the Rights of Fiserv Shareholders and First Data Stockholders” beginning on page 209.

Appraisal Rights (See page 226)

Under Wisconsin law, Fiserv shareholders are not entitled to dissenters’ or appraisal rights in connection with the issuance of shares of Fiserv common stock in connection with the merger.

Because shares of First Data Class A common stock are listed on the NYSE and holders of shares of First Data Class A common stock are not required by the terms of the merger agreement to receive consideration other than shares of Fiserv common stock, which are listed on the NASDAQ, and cash in lieu of fractional shares, in the merger, holders of First Data Class A common stock are not entitled to exercise dissenters’ or appraisal rights under Delaware law in connection with the merger.

For purposes of the merger, each holder of First Data Class B common stock, except for New Omaha, is entitled to dissenters’ rights or appraisal rights under Delaware law in connection with the merger. New Omaha has irrevocably and unconditionally waived, and agreed not to exercise, any appraisal rights (including under Section 262 of the DGCL), any dissenters’ rights and any similar rights relating to the merger that New Omaha may directly or indirectly have by virtue of the ownership of First Data common stock, to the full extent permitted by law pursuant to the voting and support agreement as described in “The Ancillary Agreements—Voting and Support Agreement” beginning on page 180. Therefore, references to holders of First Data Class B common stock in the context of appraisal rights in this joint proxy and consent solicitation statement/prospectus do not include New Omaha.

Pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL, a holder of record of First Data Class B common stock who does not consent to the adoption of the merger agreement and who otherwise follows the procedures set forth in Section 262 of the DGCL has the right to seek appraisal of his, her or its shares of First Data Class B common stock and to receive payment in cash of the judicially determined fair value of his, her or its shares of First Data Class B common stock, exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger, as determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery, together with interest, if any, to be paid upon the amount judicially determined to be the fair value of such shares of First Data Class B common stock. These rights are known as appraisal rights. The “fair value” of such shares of First Data Class B common stock as determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery may be more or less than, or the same as, the merger consideration that a holder of record of First Data Class B common stock is otherwise entitled to receive for the same number of shares of First Data Class B common stock under the terms of the merger agreement. Strict compliance with the statutory procedures in Section 262 of the DGCL is required. A holder of record of First Data Class B common stock who wishes to exercise appraisal rights, or preserve the ability to do so, must not deliver a signed written consent consenting to the First Data merger proposal, or deliver a signed written consent without indicating a decision on the First Data merger proposal. Any signed written consent returned without indicating a decision on the First Data merger proposal will be considered as consenting to the First Data merger proposal.

The DGCL requirements for exercising appraisal rights are described in further detail in “Appraisal Rights” beginning on page 226, and Section 262 of the DGCL, the relevant section of the DGCL regarding appraisal rights, is reproduced and attached as Annex H to this joint proxy and consent solicitation statement/prospectus. A holder of record of First Data Class B common stock intending to exercise his, her or its appraisal rights should carefully review Annex H to this joint proxy and consent solicitation statement/prospectus in its entirety. Failure to follow precisely any of the statutory procedures set forth in Section 262 of the DGCL may result in loss of appraisal rights.

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger (See page 140)

Assuming that the merger is completed as currently contemplated, First Data and Fiserv intend for the merger to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. It is a condition to the obligation

of First Data to complete the merger that First Data receive the written opinion of Simpson Thacher (or another nationally recognized law firm), dated the closing date, to the effect that the merger will qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and it is a condition to the obligation of Fiserv to complete the merger that Fiserv receive the written opinion of Sullivan & Cromwell (or another nationally recognized law firm), dated the closing date, to the effect that the merger will qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. Provided that the merger qualifies as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, a U.S. holder (as defined under “The Merger—Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger” beginning on page 147) of First Data common stock will not recognize any gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes upon the exchange of First Data common stock for shares of Fiserv common stock in the merger (other than gain or loss with respect to any cash received in lieu of a fractional share of Fiserv common stock).

You should read “The Merger—Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger” beginning on page 147 of this joint proxy and consent solicitation statement/prospectus for a more complete discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger. The discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences contained in this joint proxy and consent solicitation statement/prospectus is intended to provide only a general discussion and is not a complete analysis or description of all potential U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger that may vary with, or are dependent on, individual circumstances. In addition, it does not address the effects of any foreign, state or local tax laws. You should consult your tax advisor to determine the tax consequences of the merger to you.

Accounting Treatment of the Merger (See page 150)

The merger will be accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting, with Fiserv as the acquirer of First Data. Fiserv will record assets acquired, including identifiable intangible assets, and liabilities assumed from First Data at their respective fair values at the effective date of the merger. Any excess of the purchase price over the net fair value of such assets and liabilities will be recorded as goodwill. See “The Merger—Accounting Treatment of the Merger” beginning on page 150.

SELECTED UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL DATA

The following tables present unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information about Fiserv’s consolidated balance sheet and statements of income after giving effect to the merger. The information under “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet Data” in the table below gives effect to the merger as if it had taken place on September 30, 2018. The information under “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Income Statement Data” in the table below gives effect to the merger as if it had taken place on January 1, 2017. This selected unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was prepared using the acquisition method of accounting where Fiserv is considered the acquirer of First Data for accounting purposes. See “The Merger—Accounting Treatment of the Merger” beginning on page 150.

This selected unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared for illustrative purposes only and is based on currently available information and assumptions and estimates considered appropriate by Fiserv’s management; however, it is not necessarily indicative of what Fiserv’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations actually would have been assuming the merger had been completed as of the dates indicated, nor does it purport to represent Fiserv’s consolidated balance sheet or statements of income for future periods. Future results may vary significantly from the results reflected due to various factors, including those discussed in “Risk Factors” beginning on page 42. The information presented below should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements of Fiserv and First Data, including the related notes filed by each of them with the SEC, in addition to the pro forma condensed combined financial information of Fiserv and First Data, including the related notes appearing elsewhere in this joint proxy and consent solicitation statement/prospectus. See the sections entitled “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements” beginning on pages 236 and 185, respectively, of this joint proxy and consent solicitation statement/prospectus.

COMPARATIVE HISTORICAL AND UNAUDITED PRO FORMA PER SHARE DATA

The historical per share data for Fiserv common stock and First Data common stock below has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of each of Fiserv and First Data as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017 and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of each of Fiserv and First Data as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, each of which is incorporated by reference herein.

The unaudited pro forma combined per share data set forth below gives effect to the merger as if it had occurred on January 1, 2017, the beginning of the earliest period presented, in the case of continuing net income per share data, and as of September 30, 2018, in the case of book value per share data, assuming that each outstanding share of First Data common stock had been converted into shares of Fiserv common stock based on the exchange ratio of 0.303 of a share of Fiserv common stock for each share of First Data common stock. The unaudited pro forma combined per share data has been derived from the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of each of Fiserv and First Data as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and the audited consolidated financial statements for each of Fiserv and First Data as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017.

The unaudited pro forma combined per share data has been derived using the acquisition method of accounting. See “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements” beginning on page 178 for more information. Accordingly, the pro forma adjustments reflect the assets and liabilities of First Data at their preliminary estimated fair values. Differences between these preliminary estimates and the final values in acquisition accounting will occur and these differences could have a material impact on the unaudited pro forma combined per share information set forth below.

The unaudited pro forma combined per share data does not purport to represent the actual results of operations that Fiserv would have achieved had the merger been completed during these periods or to project the future results of operations that Fiserv may achieve after the merger.

The unaudited pro forma combined per share equivalent data set forth below shows the effect of the merger from the perspective of an owner of First Data common stock. The information was calculated by multiplying the unaudited pro forma combined per share data by the exchange ratio of 0.303.

You should read the information below in conjunction with the selected historical consolidated financial data included elsewhere in this joint proxy and consent solicitation statement/prospectus and the historical consolidated financial statements of Fiserv and First Data and related notes that have been filed with the SEC, certain of which are incorporated by reference herein. See “Selected Historical Consolidated Financial Data of Fiserv,” “Selected Historical Consolidated Financial Data of First Data” and “Where You Can Find More Information” beginning on pages 36, 38 and 236, respectively. The unaudited pro forma combined per share data and the unaudited pro forma combined per share equivalent data has been derived from, and should be read in conjunction with, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and related notes included in this joint proxy and consent solicitation statement/prospectus. See “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements” beginning on page 178, which are based on and should be read in conjunction with (i) the historical audited consolidated financial statements of Fiserv and the related notes included in Fiserv’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, and the historical unaudited consolidated financial statements of Fiserv and related notes included in Fiserv’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2018, each of which is incorporated by reference herein, and (ii) the historical audited consolidated financial statements of First Data and the related notes for the year ended December 31, 2017 included in First Data’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on August 13, 2018, and the historical unaudited

consolidated financial statements of First Data and related notes included in First Data’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2018, each of which is incorporated by reference herein.

COMPARATIVE PER SHARE MARKET PRICES AND IMPLIED VALUE OF MERGER CONSIDERATION

The following table sets forth the closing price per share of Fiserv common stock and of First Data Class A common stock as of January 15, 2019, the last trading day prior to the public announcement of the merger, and [●], 2019, the most recent practicable trading day prior to the date of this joint proxy and consent solicitation statement/prospectus. The table also shows the implied value of the merger consideration for each share of First Data Class A common stock as of the same two dates. This implied value was calculated by multiplying the closing price of a share of Fiserv common stock on the relevant date by the exchange ratio of 0.303. Fiserv common stock is listed on NASDAQ under the trading symbol “FISV.” First Data Class A common stock is listed on the NYSE under the trading symbol “FDC.” Since First Data Class B common stock is not traded on any securities exchange, it does not have a market price and is not shown in the following table.

The market prices of shares of Fiserv common stock and First Data Class A common stock have fluctuated since the date of the announcement of the merger and will continue to fluctuate from the date of this joint proxy and consent solicitation statement/prospectus to the date the merger is completed, and the market price of shares of Fiserv common stock will continue to fluctuate after the completion of the merger. No assurance can be given concerning the market prices of Fiserv common stock or First Data Class A common stock before the completion of the merger or Fiserv common stock after the completion of the merger. Because the stock consideration is payable in a fixed number of shares of Fiserv common stock, the market price of Fiserv common stock (and therefore the value of the merger consideration) when received by First Data stockholders after the completion of the merger could be greater than, less than or the same as shown in the table above. Accordingly, First Data stockholders are advised to obtain current market quotations for Fiserv common stock and First Data Class A common stock when considering whether to consent to, withhold consent from or abstain from the First Data merger proposal.

Dividends

Neither Fiserv nor First Data currently pays a quarterly dividend on its common stock. Under the terms of the merger agreement, each of Fiserv and First Data agreed to not make, declare or pay any dividend on its capital stock without the other party’s consent. Neither Fiserv nor First Data currently intends to make, declare or pay any dividend.
