Risk Factors

You should carefully consider the risks described under “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December  31, 2020, filed with the SEC on March 1, 2021, and in other documents that we include or incorporate by reference into this prospectus.

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock by the Stockholder. We will pay all of the fees and expenses incurred by us in connection with this registration. The Stockholder will receive all of the net proceeds from this offering. See “The Stockholder.”

The Stockholder

This prospectus relates to the resale of shares of our Common Stock held by Popular, Inc. (the “Stockholder”). As of December 31, 2020, the Stockholder was our largest shareholder, and revenue derived from our relationship with the Stockholder was the single largest source of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2020. Our agreements with the Stockholder are discussed in the section captioned “Related Party Transactions” in our Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed with the SEC on April 9, 2021.

The registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part has been filed pursuant to our obligations under a Stockholder Agreement, dated April 17, 2012, by and between EVERTEC, Inc. and certain holders party thereto, including the Stockholder, as amended by the First Amendment to Stockholder Agreement, dated March 27, 2013, the Second Amendment to Stockholder Agreement, dated June 30, 2013, and the Third Amendment to Stockholder Agreement, dated November 13, 2013 (as so amended, the “Stockholder Agreement”). Under the terms of the Stockholder Agreement, we became obligated to file this registration statement upon becoming a well-known seasoned issuer. This particular term has been in the Stockholder Agreement since it was entered into in its original form in 2012. We are not filing this registration statement as a result of any express exercise of any right by the Stockholder.

Under the terms of the Stockholder Agreement, in connection with the offering by the Stockholder we will pay all expenses arising from or incident to the registration of the Common Stock pursuant to the Stockholder Agreement (other than certain selling expenses of the Stockholder, as discussed below). This includes all registration and filing fees; all fees and expenses incurred in connection with complying with any securities or blue sky laws (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel in connection with blue sky qualifications of the Common Stock); all printing, messenger and delivery expenses; fees, charges and disbursements of our counsel and accountants; the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the Common Stock on any national securities exchange; the fees and expenses incurred in connection with marketing (including any “road show”) with respect to any underwritten offerings; all fees and expenses incurred in connection with contracting for the services of any transfer agent or registrar; and we are obligated to reimburse the Stockholder for the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of its counsel. The Stockholder will bear all underwriting fees, discounts, selling commissions and stock transfer taxes applicable to the Stockholder’s sale of Common Stock.

The table below sets forth certain information known to us with respect to the beneficial ownership of our shares of Common Stock held by the Stockholder as of the filing of this registration statement, based on information reported on Schedule 13G by the Stockholder. Information concerning the Stockholder may change from time to time.

Because the Stockholder may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of all, some or none of the shares of our Common Stock covered by this prospectus, we cannot determine the number of such shares that will be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by the Stockholder, or the amount or percentage of shares of our Common Stock that will be held by the Stockholder upon termination of any particular offering. See “Plan of Distribution.” For purposes of the table below, we assume that the Stockholder will sell all their shares of Common Stock covered by this prospectus.

MATERIAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following discussion contains a description of certain U.S. federal income tax and Puerto Rico tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our common stock, but it does not purport to be a comprehensive description of all the tax considerations that may be relevant to a decision to purchase common stock. The discussion is based upon the federal income tax laws of the United States (including applicable regulations, rulings and court decisions), and Puerto Rico legislation and regulations thereunder as of the date hereof, which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations

The following is a summary of material U.S. federal income tax considerations that are likely to be relevant to the purchase, ownership and disposition of shares of our common stock by a U.S. Holder (as defined below).

This summary is based on provisions of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and regulations, rulings and judicial interpretations thereof, in force as of the date hereof. Those authorities may be changed at any time, perhaps retroactively, so as to result in U.S. federal income tax consequences different from those summarized below.

This summary is not a comprehensive discussion of all of the tax considerations that may be relevant to a particular investor’s decision to purchase, hold, or dispose of shares. In particular, this summary is directed only to U.S. Holders that hold shares as capital assets and does not address particular tax consequences that may be applicable to U.S. Holders who may be subject to special tax rules, such as banks, brokers or dealers in securities or currencies, traders in securities electing to mark to market, financial institutions, life insurance companies, tax-exempt entities, regulated investment companies, entities or arrangements that are treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes (or partners therein), holders that own or are treated as owning 10% or more of our stock by vote or value, individual holders who are bona fide residents of Puerto Rico during the entire taxable year (or, in some cases, a portion thereof) within the meaning of Sections 933 and 937 of the Code, corporations created or organized in or under the laws of Puerto Rico, persons holding shares as part of a hedging or conversion transaction or a straddle, or persons whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar. Moreover, this summary does not address state, local or foreign taxes, the U.S. federal estate and gift taxes, or the Medicare contribution tax applicable to net investment income of certain non-corporate U.S. Holders, or alternative minimum tax consequences of acquiring, holding or disposing of shares.

For purposes of this summary, a “U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of shares that is a citizen or resident of the United States or a U.S. domestic corporation or that otherwise is subject to U.S. federal income taxation on a net income basis in respect of such shares.

You should consult your own tax advisors about the consequences of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of the shares, including the relevance to your particular situation of the considerations discussed below and any consequences arising under foreign, state, local or other tax laws.

Passive Foreign Investment Company Status

In general, as a corporation incorporated in Puerto Rico, we are treated as a foreign corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We believe, and the following discussion assumes, that we were not a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) for our taxable year ending December 31, 2020 and that, based on the present composition of our income and assets and the manner in which we conduct our business, we will not be a PFIC in our current taxable year or in the foreseeable future. Whether we are a PFIC is a factual determination made annually, and our status could change depending, among other things, upon changes in the composition of our gross income and the relative quarterly average value of our assets. If we were a PFIC for any taxable year in which you hold shares, you generally would be subject to additional taxes on certain distributions and any gain realized from the sale or other taxable disposition of the common stock regardless of whether we continued to be a PFIC in any subsequent year. You are encouraged to consult your own tax advisor as to our status as a PFIC and the tax consequences to you of such status.

Taxation of Dividends

Subject to the discussion above under “—Passive Foreign Investment Company Status,” the gross amount of any distribution of cash or property with respect to our common stock(including any amount withheld in respect of Puerto Rican taxes) that is paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) will generally be includible in your taxable income as ordinary dividend income on the day on which you receive the dividend and will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction allowed to corporations under the Code.

4

We do not expect to maintain calculations of our earnings and profits in accordance with U.S. federal income tax principles. U.S. Holders therefore should expect that distributions generally will be treated as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Subject to certain exceptions for short-term positions, dividends received by an individual with respect to the common stock will be subject to taxation at a preferential rate if the dividends are “qualified dividends.” Because we are organized under the laws of a possession of the United States, dividends paid on the common stock generally will be treated as qualified dividends, provided that we were not, in the year prior to the year in which the dividend was paid, and are not, in the year in which the dividend is paid, a PFIC. Based on our audited financial statements and relevant market and shareholder data, we believe that we were not treated as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes with respect to our 2019 and 2020 taxable years. In addition, based on our audited financial statements and our current expectations regarding the value and nature of our assets, the sources and nature of our income, and relevant market and shareholder data, we do not anticipate becoming a PFIC for our 2021 taxable year or in the foreseeable future.Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the availability of the reduced dividend tax rate in light of their own particular circumstances.

Dividend distributions with respect to our common stock generally will be treated as “passive category” income from sources outside the United States for purposes of determining a U.S. Holder’s U.S. foreign tax credit limitation. Subject to the limitations and conditions provided in the Code and the applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations, a U.S. Holder may be able to claim a foreign tax credit against its U.S. federal income tax liability in respect of any Puerto Rican income taxes withheld at the appropriate rate applicable to the U.S. Holder from a dividend paid to such U.S. Holder. Alternatively, the U.S. Holder may deduct such Puerto Rican income taxes from its U.S. federal taxable income, provided that the U.S. Holder elects to deduct rather than credit all foreign income taxes for the relevant taxable year. The rules with respect to foreign tax credits are complex and involve the application of rules that depend on a U.S. Holder’s particular circumstances. Accordingly, U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the availability of the foreign tax credit under their particular circumstances.

U.S. Holders that receive distributions of additional common stockor rights to subscribe for common stock as part of a pro rata distribution to all our shareholders generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax in respect of the distributions, unless the U.S. Holder has the right to receive cash or property, in which case the U.S. Holder will be treated as if it received cash equal to the fair market value of the distribution.

Taxation of Dispositions of Common Stock

Subject to the discussion above under “—Passive Foreign Investment Company Status,” upon a sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of the common stock, U.S. Holders will realize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized on the disposition and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the common stock. Such gain or loss will be capital gain or loss, and will generally be long-term capital gain or loss if the common stockhas been held for more than one year. Long-term capital gain realized by a U.S. Holder that is an individual generally is subject to taxation at a preferential rate. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

Gain, if any, realized by a U.S. Holder on the sale or other disposition of the common stock generally will be treated as U.S. source income for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes. Consequently, if a Puerto Rican tax is imposed on the sale or disposition of the common stock, a U.S. Holder that does not receive significant foreign source income from other sources may not be able to derive effective U.S. foreign tax credit benefits in respect of such Puerto Rican taxes. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of the foreign tax credit rules to their investment in, and disposition of, the common stock.

Foreign Financial Asset Reporting.

Certain U.S. Holders that own “specified foreign financial assets” with an aggregate value in excess of U.S.$50,000 on the last day of the taxable year or US$75,000 at any time during the taxable year are generally required to file an information statement along with their tax returns, currently on U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form 8938, with respect to such assets. “Specified foreign financial assets” include any financial accounts held at a non-U.S. financial institution, as well as securities issued by a non-U.S. issuer that are not held in accounts maintained by financial institutions. Higher reporting thresholds apply to certain individuals living abroad and to certain married individuals. The understatement of income attributable to “specified foreign financial assets” in excess of U.S.$5,000 extends the statute of limitations with respect to the tax return to six years after the return was filed. U.S. Holders who fail to report the required information could be subject to substantial penalties. Prospective investors are encouraged to consult with their own tax advisors regarding the possible application of these rules, including the application of the rules to their particular circumstances.

5

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

Dividends paid on, and proceeds from the sale or other disposition of, the common stock to a U.S. Holder generally may be subject to the information reporting requirements of the Code and may be subject to backup withholding unless the U.S. Holder provides an accurate taxpayer identification number and makes any other required certification or otherwise establishes an exemption. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to a U.S. Holder will be allowed as a refund or credit against the U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the required information is furnished to the IRS in a timely manner.

A holder that is not a U.S. Holder may be required to comply with certification and identification procedures in order to establish its exemption from information reporting and backup withholding.

Material Puerto Rico Income Tax Consequences

The following discussion summarizes the material Puerto Rico tax considerations relating to the ownership and disposition of shares of our common stock.

This discussion is based on the tax laws of Puerto Rico as in effect on the date of this registration statement, as well as regulations, administrative pronouncements and judicial decisions available on or before such date and now in effect. All of the foregoing are subject to different interpretations and are also subject to change, which change could apply retroactively and could affect the continued validity of this summary.

This discussion deals only with common stock held by a holder who purchases and holds them as “capital assets” within the meaning of Section 1034.01 of the Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code of 2011, as amended (the “PR Code”) (i.e., generally property held for investment).

For purposes of the discussion below, a “domestic corporation” is a corporation or other entity organized under the laws of Puerto Rico that is treated as a corporation for Puerto Rico income tax purposes, excluding corporations or other types of entities subject to pass through tax treatment or any other special tax regime under the PR Code. Furthermore, a “foreign corporation” is a corporation or other entity taxable as a corporation for Puerto Rico income tax purposes that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than Puerto Rico. Foreign corporations organized under the laws of the United States or any of the states of the United States are considered “foreign corporations” for Puerto Rico income tax purposes.

The following discussion does not intend to cover all aspects of the tax laws of Puerto Rico that may be relevant to a purchaser of common stock in light of the purchaser’s particular circumstances, or to purchasers subject to special rules of taxation, such as insurance companies, banks, tax-exempt organizations, partnerships or other pass-through entities for Puerto Rico income tax purposes, “Special Partnerships,” “Corporations of Individuals,” registered investment companies or certain pension trusts.

If you are considering acquiring, owning or disposing of our common stock, you should consult your own tax advisors concerning the consequences of Puerto Rico income tax in light of your particular situation as well as any consequences arising under the laws of any other jurisdiction.

Taxation of Dividends

Distributions of cash or other property made with respect to our common stock will be treated as dividends to the extent that they are paid out of current or accumulated earnings and profits. To the extent that a distribution exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits, the distribution will be applied against and reduce the adjusted Puerto Rico income tax basis of our common stock in the hands of the holder. The excess of any distribution of this type over the adjusted Puerto Rico income tax basis will be treated as a gain on the sale or exchange of our common stock and will be subject to income tax as described below.

Individual Residents of Puerto Rico and Domestic Corporations

Except for certain exempt dividends described below, individuals who are residents of Puerto Rico (“PR Individuals”) will be subject to a 15% withholding tax on dividends paid on our common stock. In addition, PR Individuals may be subject to the alternative basic tax (“ABT”), to the extent such tax exceeds the applicable regular income tax imposed by the PR Code. If the ABT is applicable, the dividends may be subject to an additional tax of up to 9%. You should consult your tax advisor regarding the application of the ABT in connection with an investment in our common stock.

Provided the common stock is held in his or her name, a PR Individual may opt out of the 15% withholding tax described above by providing us with a written statement. If such PR Individual holds the common stock in the name of a broker or other direct or indirect participant of Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), certain other procedures may need to be followed for purposes of opting out of the 15% withholding tax. If the PR Individual opts out of the 15% withholding tax, they will be required to include the amount of the dividend as ordinary income and will be subject to Puerto Rico income tax thereon at the normal income tax rates, which currently may be up to 33%. Even if the withholding is actually made, the PR Individual may elect, upon filing his or her Puerto Rico income tax return for the year the dividend is paid, for the dividends to be taxed at the normal income tax rates applicable to individuals. In this case, the 15% income tax withheld will be creditable against the normal tax so determined.

Domestic corporations will be subject to Puerto Rico income tax on dividends paid or accrued on our common stock at the normal corporate income tax rates, subject to a dividend received deduction. The dividend received deduction will be equal to 85% of the dividend received, but the deduction may not exceed 85% of the corporation’s net taxable income. The current maximum corporate income tax rate under the PR Code is 37.5%. No income tax withholding will be imposed on dividends paid on our common stock provided such stock is held in the name of the domestic corporation. However, if such domestic corporation holds the common stock in the name of a broker or other direct or indirect participant of DTC, then a 10% income tax withholding will be made on dividends paid on the common stock held on behalf of such domestic corporation, unless certain procedures are followed for purposes of opting out of the 10% withholding tax. If the withholding is actually made, the 10% income tax withheld will be creditable against the Puerto Rico income tax liability of the domestic corporation.

We have investments in entities covered by a tax exemption grant under Act No. 73 of 2008, as amended (“Grant” and “Act 73”, respectively), from which we may derive industrial development income, which is exempt from Puerto Rico income tax (“IDI”). Pursuant to Act 73 and the Grant, dividend distributions made by us from IDI to PR Individuals and domestic corporations will not be subject to Puerto Rico income tax, including ABT. Subsequent distributions from said IDI will not be subject to any Puerto Rico income tax. The determination of the amount of dividend distributions attributable to IDI and subject to the tax exemption under Act 73 and the Grant shall be determined and allocated by us.

Individuals Who Are Not Residents of Puerto Rico and Foreign Corporations

The following discussion regarding the income taxation of dividends on the common stock received by individuals who are not residents of Puerto Rico (“Non-PR Individuals”) and foreign corporations assumes that dividends will constitute income from sources within Puerto Rico. Generally, a dividend declared by a domestic corporation will constitute income from sources within Puerto Rico unless the corporation derived less than 20% of its gross income from sources within Puerto Rico for the three taxable years preceding the year of the declaration. We believe that we have derived more than 20% of our gross income from Puerto Rico sources on an annual basis since our incorporation and expect that in the future more than 20% of our gross income on an annual basis will be from Puerto Rico sources.

Dividends paid on the common stock to any Non-PR Individual will be subject to a 15% withholding tax, and dividends paid on the common stock to any foreign corporation that is not engaged in a trade or business in Puerto Rico will be subject to a 10% withholding income tax.

Dividends paid on the common stock to any foreign corporation that is engaged in a trade or business in Puerto Rico will be subject to the normal corporate income tax rates applicable to domestic corporations on its net income that is effectively connected with the trade or business in Puerto Rico, which will include the dividends on the common stock. A foreign corporation that is engaged in a trade or business in Puerto Rico will be entitled to claim the 85% dividend received deduction as discussed above in connection with dividends received by domestic corporations from another domestic corporation. No income tax withholding will be imposed on dividends paid to foreign corporations engaged in a trade or business in Puerto Rico on the common stock provided such shares are held in the name of such foreign corporation. However, if such foreign corporation holds the common stock in the name of a broker or other direct or indirect participant of DTC, then, a 10% withholding tax will apply to dividends paid on the common stock held on behalf of such foreign corporation unless certain procedures are followed to certify to us through DTC that the beneficial owner of the common stock is a foreign corporation engaged in a trade or business in Puerto Rico. If the withholding is actually made, the 10% income tax withheld will be creditable against the Puerto Rico income tax liability of the foreign corporation.

As mentioned above, we also have investments in entities covered by the Grant from which we may derive IDI. Pursuant to Act 73 and the Grant, dividend distributions from IDI to Non-PR Individuals and foreign corporations will not be subject to Puerto Rico income tax. Subsequent distributions of said IDI will not be subject to any Puerto Rico income tax. The determination of

7

the amount of dividend distributions attributable to IDI and subject to the tax exemption under Act 73 and the Grant shall be determined and allocated by us.

Taxation of Dispositions of Common Stock

The sale or exchange of common stock will give rise to gain or loss for Puerto Rico income tax purposes equal to the difference between the amount realized on the sale or exchange and the Puerto Rico income tax basis of the common stock in the hands of the holder. Any gain or loss that is required to be recognized will be a capital gain or loss if the common stock are held as a capital asset by the holder and will be a long-term capital gain or loss if the holder’s holding period of the common stock exceeds one year. Additionally, Act 73 imposes additional rules in determining the tax basis of the common stock in the hands of the holder upon their sale or exchange.

Individual Residents of Puerto Rico and Domestic Corporations

Gain on the sale or exchange of the common stock by a PR Individual or a domestic corporation will generally be required to be recognized as gross income and will be subject to Puerto Rico income tax.

If the holder is a PR Individual and the gain is a long-term capital gain, the gain will be taxable at a maximum rate of 15%. If the holder is a domestic corporation and the gain is a long-term capital gain, the gain will qualify for an alternative tax rate of 20%. PR Individuals and domestic corporations may elect to treat such capital gains as ordinary income subject to regular income tax rates instead of the applicable capital gains tax. However, a portion of the gain on the sale or exchange of the common stock by a PR Individual or a domestic corporation may be subject to a special capital gain tax of 4% pursuant to Act 73 if it is sold during the duration of the Grant. The amount of gain subject to the special 4% tax rate will depend on the portion of the gain attributable to the exempt operations conducted under the Grant. If the sale or exchange takes place after the expiration of the Grant, the amount of gain subject to the special 4% tax rate will be limited to the value of the shares at the date of the expiration of the Grant reduced by: (1) the amount of exempt distributions received by the shareholder; and (2) the tax basis of the common stock in the hands of the holder as computed pursuant to Act 73. Any remaining gain shall be subject to taxation pursuant to the provisions of the PR Code.

In addition, PR Individuals may be subject to the ABT on the portion of the gain subject to the 15% tax, to the extent the ABT exceeds the applicable regular income tax imposed by the PR Code. You should consult your tax advisor regarding the application of the ABT in connection with an investment in the common stock.

PR Individuals and Foreign Corporations

Non-PR Individuals and foreign corporations not engaged in a trade or business in Puerto Rico will not be subject to Puerto Rico income tax on the sale or exchange of the common stock.

A foreign corporation that is engaged in a trade or business in Puerto Rico will generally be subject to income tax as described above for domestic corporations, plus a 10% branch profits tax, on any gain realized on the sale or exchange of the common stock if the gain is effectively connected with the Puerto Rico trade or business. You should consult your tax advisor regarding the rules to determine effectively connected income and the application of the branch profits tax.

Municipal License Taxation

Individuals and corporations that are not engaged in a trade or business in Puerto Rico will not be subject to municipal license tax on dividends paid on the common stock or on any gain realized on the sale, exchange or redemption of the common stock.

Individuals, residents or non-residents, and corporations, domestic or foreign, that are engaged in a trade or business in Puerto Rico will generally be subject to municipal license tax on dividends paid on the common stock and on the gain realized on the sale, exchange or redemption of the common stock if the dividends or gain are attributable to that trade or business. The municipal license tax is imposed on the volume of business of the taxpayer, and the tax rates vary by municipalities with the current maximum rate being 1.5% in the case of financial businesses and 0.5% for other businesses.

Plan Of Distribution

The Stockholder may sell the securities from time to time pursuant to underwritten public offerings, negotiated transactions, block trades, private transactions, transactions on the New York Stock Exchange or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the Common Stock is traded, a combination of these methods, through underwriters or dealers, through agents and/or directly to one or more purchasers, or any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. (As used under this caption “Plan of Distribution”, the term “securities” means the Common Stock offered by this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement, unless otherwise expressly stated or the context otherwise requires.) The securities may be distributed from time to time in one or more transactions, each of which may be described in a prospectus supplement and which may include transactions:

•     at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed from time to time;

•     at market prices prevailing at the time of sale;

•    at prices related to such prevailing market prices; or

•    at negotiated prices.

In connection with a particular public sale of securities pursuant to this prospectus, we may provide a prospectus supplement or supplements that describe the method of distribution and set forth the terms and conditions of the offering of such securities, including (i) the name or names of any underwriters, dealers or agents and the amounts of securities underwritten or purchased by each of them; (ii) if a fixed price offering, the public offering price of the securities; (iii) any options under which underwriters may purchase additional securities from the Stockholder; (iv) any underwriting discounts or commissions or agency fees and other items constituting underwriters’ or agents’ compensation; (v) terms and conditions of the offering; and (vi) any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers.

Offers to purchase the securities offered pursuant to this prospectus may be solicited directly. Agents may also be designated to solicit offers to purchase the securities from time to time. Any agent involved in the offer or sale of our securities will be identified in a prospectus supplement.

If a dealer is utilized in the sale of securities offered pursuant to this prospectus, the securities will be sold to the dealer, as principal. The dealer may then resell the securities to the public at varying prices to be determined by the dealer at the time of resale.

If an underwriter is utilized in the sale of securities offered pursuant to this prospectus, an underwriting agreement will be executed with the underwriter at the time of sale and the name of any underwriter will be provided in the prospectus supplement that the underwriter will use to make resales of the securities to the public. In connection with the sale of the securities, the Stockholder, or the purchasers of securities for whom the underwriter may act as agent, may compensate the underwriter in the form of underwriting discounts or commissions. The underwriter may sell the securities to or through dealers, and those dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the underwriters and/or commissions from the purchasers for which they may act as agent. Unless otherwise indicated in a prospectus supplement, an agent will be acting on a best efforts basis and a dealer will purchase securities as a principal, and may then resell the securities at varying prices to be determined by the dealer.

Any compensation paid to underwriters, dealers or agents in connection with any offering of the securities, and any discounts, concessions or commissions allowed by underwriters to participating dealers, will be provided in the applicable prospectus supplement. Underwriters, dealers and agents participating in the distribution of the securities may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, and any discounts and commissions received by them and any profit realized by them on resale of the securities may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions. We and the Stockholder may each or both enter into agreements to indemnify underwriters, dealers and agents against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, or to contribute to payments they may be required to make in respect thereof and to reimburse those persons for certain expenses.

To facilitate the offering of securities, certain persons participating in the offering may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the securities. This may include over-allotments or short sales of the securities, which involve the sale by persons participating in the offering of more securities than were sold to them. In these circumstances, these persons would cover such over-allotments or short positions by making purchases in the open market or by exercising their option, if any, to purchase additional securities from the Stockholder. In addition, these persons may stabilize or maintain the price of the securities by bidding for or purchasing securities in the open market or by imposing penalty bids, whereby selling concessions allowed to dealers participating in the offering may be reclaimed if securities sold by them are repurchased in

9

connection with stabilization transactions. The effect of these transactions may be to stabilize or maintain the market price of the securities at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. None of the persons participating in any such offering will be obligated to engage in these transactions and these transactions, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

If indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, underwriters or other persons acting as agents may be authorized to solicit offers by institutions or other suitable purchasers to purchase the securities at the public offering price set forth in the prospectus supplement, pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on the date or dates stated in the prospectus supplement. These purchasers may include, among others, commercial and savings banks, insurance companies, pension funds, investment companies and educational and charitable institutions. Delayed delivery contracts will be subject to the condition that the purchase of the securities covered by the delayed delivery contracts will not at the time of delivery be prohibited under the laws of any jurisdiction in the United States to which the purchaser is subject. The underwriters and agents will not have any responsibility with respect to the validity or performance of these contracts.

The Stockholder may enter into derivative, hedging, forward sale, option or other types of transactions with third parties, or sell securities not covered by the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part to third parties, through a stock exchange, including block trades or ordinary broker’s transactions, or through broker-dealers acting either as principal or agent, or through an underwritten public offering, through privately negotiated transactions or through a combination of any such methods of sale. In connection with such a transaction, the third parties may sell the securities covered by and pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part and an applicable prospectus supplement or pricing supplement, as the case may be. If so, the third party may use securities borrowed from the Stockholder or others to settle such sales and may use securities received from the Stockholder to close out or hedge any related short positions. The Stockholder may also loan or pledge securities covered by the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part and an applicable prospectus supplement to third parties, who may sell the loaned securities or, in an event of default in the case of a pledge, sell the pledged securities pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part and the applicable prospectus supplement or pricing supplement, as the case may be.

There can be no assurance that the Stockholder will sell any or all of the securities under this prospectus. Further, we cannot assure you that the Stockholder will not transfer, devise or gift the securities by other means not described in this prospectus. The securities may be sold in some states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the securities may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and complied with.

The underwriters, dealers and agents may engage in transactions with us or the Stockholder, or perform services for us or the Stockholder, in the ordinary course of business for which they receive compensation.

Under the terms of the Stockholder Agreement, we have obligations to indemnify the Stockholder against certain liabilities, including certain liabilities under the Securities Act in connection with the registration of the securities.

Item 15.    Indemnification of Officers and Directors.

Article 1.02(b)(6) of the Puerto Rico General Corporation Law of 2009, as amended (the “PR-GCL”), provides that a corporation may include in its certificate of incorporation a provision eliminating or limiting the personal liability of the directors or stockholders in cases of monetary claims for damages resulting from the breach of a director’s fiduciary duty. However, no such provision may eliminate or limit the liability of a director for breaching his duty of loyalty, failing to act in good faith, engaging in intentional misconduct or knowingly violating a law, paying an unlawful dividend or approving an unlawful stock repurchase or redemption or obtaining an improper personal benefit.

Article 4.08 of the PR-GCL authorizes a Puerto Rico corporation to indemnify any person who is, has been, or is under threat of becoming a party to any action, suit or proceeding (except an action initiated by the corporation or initiated to protect the interests of the corporation) because the person has been or is a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or had been acting or is acting by request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or other entity (a “Covered Person”). Such indemnification may include the expenses incurred in a reasonable manner, including attorney fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid to settle such action, suit or proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a manner which the person deemed to be reasonable and consistent with the best interests of the corporation and not opposed thereto, and that with respect to any criminal action or proceeding the person did not have reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

Such Article 4.08 also authorizes a Puerto Rico corporation to indemnify any Covered Person who is, has been, or is under threat of becoming a party to any action or suit initiated by the corporation or initiated to protect the interests of the corporation. Such indemnification may include the expenses incurred in a reasonable manner, including attorney fees, with respect to the defense or settlement of such action or suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she deemed to be consistent with the best interests of the corporation and not opposed thereto.

To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation has prevailed on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to above, or in the defense of any claim, issue or controversy relating thereto, Article 4.08 of the PR-GCL requires the corporation to indemnify such person for reasonable expenses incurred (including attorney fees) by reason of such action, suit or proceeding.

Prior to final resolution of any such action, suit or proceeding, the corporation may advance the expenses incurred by a director or officer in the defense of a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding after obtaining a commitment from such person that he or she will reimburse such amount if it finally determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification. The expenses incurred by other directors, officers and other employees or agents may also be paid in advance pursuant to the terms and conditions which the board of directors deems convenient.

Such rights of indemnification are not exclusive of any other rights to which officers or directors of the corporation may be entitled under any by-law, agreement, vote of uninterested stockholders or directors or otherwise.

Article 4.08 of the PR-GCL also authorizes a Puerto Rico corporation to purchase insurance in the name of any Covered Person against any liability claimable against such person, or which he or she has incurred in such capacity, or which arises out of his or her status as such, whether or not the corporation has the power to indemnify such person against any such liability.

13

Article 2.02(n) of the PR-GCL states that every corporation created under the provisions of the PR-GCL shall have the power to reimburse to all directors and officers or former directors and officers the expenses which necessarily or in fact were incurred with respect to the defense in any action, suit or proceeding in which such persons, or any of them, are included as a party or parties for having been directors or officers of one or another corporation, pursuant to and subject to the provisions of Article 4.08 of the PR-GCL described above.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws limit the liability of our directors to the maximum extent permitted by Puerto Rico law. However, if Puerto Rico law is amended to authorize corporate action further limiting or eliminating the personal liability of directors, then the liability of our directors will be limited or eliminated to the fullest extent permitted by Puerto Rico law, as so amended. The modification or repeal of this provision of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws by our stockholders or by changes in law will not, unless otherwise required by law, adversely affect any right or protection of a director existing at the time of such modification or repeal with respect to acts or omissions occurring prior to such modification or repeal.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws provide that we will, from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify our directors and officers against all liabilities and expenses in any suit or proceeding arising out of their status as an officer or director or their activities in these capacities, if such indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner such indemnitee deemed to be reasonable and consistent with the best interests of the corporation and not opposed thereto, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such conduct was unlawful. We also will indemnify any person who, at our request, while acting as a director or officer of the corporation, is or was serving as an incorporator, resident agent, director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan.

The right to be indemnified includes the right of an officer or a director to be paid expenses, including attorneys’ fees, in advance of the final disposition of any proceeding, provided that, if required by law, we receive an undertaking from such officer or director to repay such amount if it is determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified.

We may, by action of our Board, to the extent permitted by law, provide indemnification and advancement of expenses to our employees and agents within the same scope and effect as the foregoing indemnification of directors and officers.

Neither the amendment nor the repeal of these indemnification provisions by our stockholders or by changes in law, nor the adoption of any provision of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation inconsistent with these indemnification provisions, unless otherwise required by law, will not diminish or adversely affect any right or protection existing at the time of such amendment, repeal or adoption in respect of ant act or omission occurring prior to such amendment, repeal or adoption with respect to any act or omission occurring prior to such amendment, repeal or adoption.

We have entered into separate indemnification agreements with each of our non-management directors in connection with his or her appointment to the Board. These indemnification agreements will require us to, among other things, indemnify our directors to the fullest extent permitted by law, against liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors. These indemnification agreements also require us to advance any expenses incurred by the directors as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified, provided that the agreements also require the indemnitees to repay any expenses advanced to them if it is ultimately determined that they are not entitled to indemnification. The agreements require us, if commercially reasonable, to obtain insurance providing such directors with coverage for losses from wrongful acts, or to ensure performance of our indemnification obligations, and to use our best efforts to cause our directors to be covered by any of our insurance policies providing insurance for our directors and officers. A director is not entitled to indemnification by us under such agreements if (i) the director did not act in good faith and in a manner he or she deemed to be reasonable and consistent with, and not opposed to, our best interests or (ii) with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, the director had reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.

Item 17. Undertakings.

(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i)    To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(ii)    To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in the volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

(iii)    To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

(i)    Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

(ii)    Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

16

(i)    Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(ii)    Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

(iii)    The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

(iv)    Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report, pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Exchange Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Re:    EVERTEC, Inc.

    Registration Statement on Form S-3

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special Puerto Rico counsel to EVERTEC, Inc., a Puerto Rico corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the preparation and filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), of the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”) relating to the registration of 11,654,803 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), for resale by a certain selling stockholder listed in the Registration Statement (the “Selling Stockholder”). This opinion is being furnished in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act.

The Common Stock being registered under the Registration Statement will have an indeterminate initial offering price and will be offered on a continuous or delayed basis pursuant to the provisions of Rule 415 under the Securities Act.

In arriving at the opinion expressed below, we have examined originals or certified copies of the following documents:

a)the Registration Statement; and

b)the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws.

We have also examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such corporate records of the Company and other certificates and documents of officials of the Company, public officials and others as we have deemed appropriate for purposes of this letter. We have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, and the conformity to authentic original documents of all copies submitted to us as conformed, certified or reproduced copies. As to various questions of fact relevant to this letter, we have relied, without independent investigation, upon certificates of public officials and certificates of officers of the Company, all of which we assume to be true, correct and complete.

Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the assumptions, exceptions, qualifications and limitations stated herein, we are of the opinion that the Common Stock to be offered and sold by the Selling Stockholder is validly issued by the Company, fully paid and non-assessable.

The opinions and other matters in this letter are qualified in their entirety and subject to the following:

A.    We express no opinion as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the laws of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.

B.    This opinion letter is limited to the matters expressly stated herein and no opinion is to be inferred or implied beyond the opinion expressly set forth herein. We undertake no obligation, and hereby disclaim any obligation, to make any inquiry after the date hereof or to advise you of any changes in any matter set forth herein, whether based on a change in the law, a change in any fact relating to the Company or any other person or any other circumstance.

We hereby consent to the use of our name in the prospectus constituting a part of the Registration Statement under the heading “Legal Matters” and in any prospectus supplements related thereto, as counsel for the Company that has passed on the validity of the Common Stock, and to the use of this opinion as a part (Exhibit 5.1) of the Registration Statement. In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

Very truly yours,

/s/ O’NEILL & BORGES LLC
