Provide Update Regarding Proposed Merger
JACKSONVILLE,

each received a request for additional information and documentary material, often referred to as a
Second Request, from the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) in connection with their
proposed merger announced on April 1, 2009.
The Second Request from the DOJ is a procedure in the regulatory process under the
Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 (HSR Act). FIS and Metavante are in the

with the DOJ as it reviews the merger. The effect of the Second Request is to extend the waiting

Second Request, unless that period is extended voluntarily by the parties or terminated sooner by
the DOJ. The proposed merger remains subject to customary conditions, including shareholder
approval. Both companies expect the merger to close during the fourth quarter of 2009.
