Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

As previously announced, Metavante Technologies, Inc., a Wisconsin corporation (“Metavante”), Fidelity National Information Services, Inc., a Georgia corporation (“FIS”), and Cars Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of FIS (“Merger Sub”), have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which Metavante will be merged with and into Merger Sub (the “Merger”). Upon consummation of the Merger, the separate existence of Metavante will cease, and Merger Sub will be the surviving company.

Following the execution of the Merger Agreement, on April 30, 2009, Metavante and its wholly owned subsidiary, Metavante Corporation (the “Borrower”), entered into an amendment (the “Credit Agreement Amendment”) to the credit agreement, originally entered into as of November 1, 2007, among Metavante, the Borrower, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Lehman Commercial Paper Inc. and Baird Financial Corporation, as Documentation Agents, Morgan Stanley Senior Funding Inc., as Syndication Agent, and the lenders party thereto (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides for a term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $1.75 billion and a revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $250 million. Lenders holding more than 90% of the outstanding amount of indebtedness under the Credit Agreement have consented to and executed the Credit Agreement Amendment (such lenders, the “Consenting Lenders”).

The Credit Agreement Amendment provides, among other things, that on its effective date, the outstanding indebtedness under the Credit Agreement will be restructured as follows: (i) the Borrower will borrow 100% of the unused revolving commitments under the Credit Agreement on or prior to such effective date, (ii) FIS or one of its subsidiaries will purchase all of the revolving loans of each Consenting Lender outstanding on such effective date if and only if such Consenting Lender commits to purchase accounts receivable from FIS’s securitization vehicle under a new FIS accounts receivable securitization facility to be entered into on or prior to the closing of the Merger, (iii) an aggregate principal amount of $500,000,000 of term loans held by the Consenting Lenders will be exchanged for an identical principal amount of term loans under FIS’s existing credit facility, (iv) FIS or one of its subsidiaries will purchase up to an aggregate principal amount of $428,125,000 of the remaining term loans held by the Consenting Lenders at par in cash, (v) if, after giving effect to the debt exchange and purchases described in the foregoing clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv), the aggregate principal amount of term loans and revolving loans that remain outstanding under the Credit Agreement (as amended by the Credit Agreement Amendment) would result in a “default” under the FIS’s existing credit agreement, the Borrower will prepay these loans on a pro rata basis for the relevant credit facility in a minimum amount necessary to avoid such “default” and (vi) the term loans that remain outstanding under the Credit Agreement after giving effect to the transactions described in the foregoing clauses (iii), (iv) and (v) will be re-priced as provided in the Credit Agreement Amendment (the transactions described in the foregoing clauses (i) through (vi), collectively, the “Restructuring Transactions”). The term loans and revolving loans purchased or exchanged by FIS or one of its subsidiaries pursuant to the Restructuring Transactions will be deemed immediately cancelled for all purposes of the Credit Agreement and no longer outstanding.

As previously reported, the requisite lenders under the Credit Agreement have agreed to waive their change of control provisions and permit the Merger and related transactions to proceed.

The Credit Agreement Amendment also amends certain covenants and other provisions in the Credit Agreement to permit the consummation of the Restructuring Transactions and to conform to the covenants in FIS’s existing credit facility. The Credit Agreement Amendment will become effective upon the satisfaction and/or waiver of certain conditions set forth therein, including the consummation of the Merger.

In consideration of the Consenting Lenders entering into the Credit Agreement Amendment, the Borrower will pay to the administrative agent for the ratable account of the Consenting Lenders a fee equal to 1.00% of the aggregate amount of the term loans or revolving commitments held by such lenders immediately prior to the Restructuring Transactions.

In connection with the Restructuring Transactions, Metavante and the Borrower and their subsidiaries that are guarantors under the Credit Agreement will be required to guarantee the obligations under FIS’s credit facility and its new account receivables securitization facility referred to above.

The foregoing description of the Credit Agreement Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Credit Agreement Amendment attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1, which is incorporated herein by reference.
