Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Term Loan Credit Agreement.

On September 1, 2015 Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. (the “Borrower”) entered into a Term Loan Credit Agreement, dated as of September 1, 2015, with Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent and other financial institutions party thereto (the “Credit Agreement”).

The Credit Agreement is available for (i) one drawing to be made on the initial funding date (the “Initial Funding Date”) (x) to fund part of the consideration for the acquisition of SunGard, a Delaware corporation (the “SunGard Acquisition”), (y) to pay the costs and expenses related thereto and to the other transactions and (z) for other general corporate purposes and (ii) at the Borrower’s option, if any of the SunGard notes (the “SunGard Notes”) remain outstanding after the closing date of the SunGard Acquisition (the “SunGard Closing Date”) and the Borrower does not draw on the entire principal amount of the Credit Agreement on the Initial Funding Date, one additional drawing to be made on the final funding date (the “Final Funding Date”) solely (x) to fund any repayment of the SunGard Notes in an amount not to exceed the remaining undrawn commitments under the Credit Agreement and (y) to pay the costs and expenses related thereto and to the other transactions.

The Credit Agreement, which is unsecured, provides for a committed $1.50 billion term facility denominated in U.S. Dollars (the “Loans”) maturing three years from the Initial Funding Date (the “Maturity Date”).

Under certain circumstances, if the SunGard Notes remain in place following the SunGard Closing Date, the issuer of the SunGard Notes will provide a springing guaranty of the Credit Agreement effective on the 90th day after the SunGard Closing Date

The Borrower may not re-borrow amounts under the Loans. No payments of principal are due until the Maturity Date.

The Loans are not subject to mandatory prepayment. Voluntary prepayments of the Loans are permitted at any time without fee (other than with respect to any breakage of eurocurrency periods applicable to the Loans being prepaid that bear interest at the eurocurrency rate) upon proper notice and subject to a minimum dollar requirement.

The outstanding balance of the Loans will bear interest at a floating rate, which will be, at the Borrower’s option, either (a) the eurocurrency rate plus an applicable margin and mandatory cost or (b) a base rate plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin is subject to adjustment based on the credit rating of the Borrower.

The Credit Agreement contains affirmative, negative and financial covenants customary for financings of this type, including, among other things, limits on the creation of liens, limits on the incurrence of subsidiary indebtedness, restrictions on investments and dispositions, limitations on dividends and other restricted payments, a minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum leverage ratio. Upon an event of default, and after any applicable cure period, the Administrative Agent can accelerate the maturity of the loan. Events of default include conditions customary for such an agreement, including failure to pay principal and interest in a timely manner and breach of certain covenants.

The foregoing does not constitute a complete summary of the terms of the Credit Agreement and reference is made to the complete text of the agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by this reference into this Item 1.01.
