The following are questions and answers provided to Certegy Inc.s employees concerning Certegys proposed merger with Fidelity National Information Services, Inc.
2
Q- What are the options being reviewed for current Certegy employees, if Fidelity National Information Service does not currently provide a Pension Plan to its employees?
A- Certegy has not yet made any specific decisions with respect to the Pension Plan. An integration team will be reviewing the benefit plans of Certegy and Fidelity to determine whether any changes should be made to the plans for each group of companies. Any proposed changes to the Pension Plan will be reviewed in connection with proposed changes to the 401(k) Plan and to the entire compensation and benefit package of employees.
Q - Will the Pension fund accumulated to date by Certegy employees remain with the third party administrator Mellon Bank?
A- No specific decisions have been made with respect to the Pension Plan. The integration team will be reviewing whether any changes are recommended with respect to the Pension Plan including with respect to the third party administrator.
Q- For those of us that contribute to the 401(k) and annually receive Certegy stock, will those shares be eligible for the $3.75 per share payout upon closing of the merger? Im worried that they will not because they are Certegy Stock Fund - - not actually Certegy stock shares.
A- If a portion of your 401(k) plan account is invested in the Certegy Stock Fund, your account will be indirectly affected by the payment of the dividend. For each share of Certegy stock held by the Certegy Stock Fund, the Certegy Stock Fund will receive the $3.75 dividend. However, the price of Certegy shares should adjust downward to reflect the dividend payment. If the market price of Certegy shares decreases by exactly $3.75 per share to reflect the special dividend, this will be a net transaction, and the total value in the Certegy Stock Fund (and thus, each participants account invested in the Certegy Stock Fund) will have the same value as before the dividend payment. Please note that factors other than the special dividend may affect the actual market price of Certegy shares.

Cautionary Language Concerning Forward-Looking Statements
Information set forth herein may financial estimates and other forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties, and actual results might differ materially. Such statements include, but are not limited to, any expectations concerning accretions to earnings, levels of revenue, EBITDA, and other financial results, statements about the benefits of the Merger, including future operating results, business synergies, and the plans, objectives, expectations and intentions of the combined companies and other statements that are not historical facts which may be expressed herein. Such statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of the management of Certegy and FNF and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties (many of which are difficult to predict) that may cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in, or implied by, the forward-looking statements.
The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ from those set forth in the forward-looking statements: the ability to obtain governmental and Certegy shareholder approvals of the transaction on the proposed terms and schedule; the risk that the businesses will not be integrated successfully; the risk that the anticipated cost savings and any other synergies from the transaction may not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected; disruption from the transaction making it more difficult to maintain relationships with customers, management and key employees or suppliers; diversion of management attention from business operations as a result of time demands attendant to the merger; failure to accurately forecast restructuring charges and allocations or the impact of any equity based compensation expense; competition and its effect on pricing, spending, third-party relationships and revenues. Additional factors that may affect future results are contained Certegys and FNFs filings with the SEC, which are available at the SECs Web site www.sec.gov.
