ITEM 4.                                                     DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

 

Not Applicable.

 

ITEM 5.                                                     INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL

 

Not Applicable.

 

ITEM 6.                                                     INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

 

The Company’s articles of incorporation eliminate the liability of its directors to the Company or its shareholders for monetary damages for any action taken, or any failure to take action, as a director to the extent permitted under the Georgia Business Corporation Code (the “Code”).  The Company’s directors remain liable, however, for:

 

                                          any appropriation, in violation of the director’s duties, of any business opportunity;

 

                                          acts or omissions that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

 

                                          unlawful corporate distributions as set forth in Section 14-2-832 of the Code; or

 

                                          any transactions from which the director received an improper personal benefit.

 

If the Code is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, the liability of the Company’s directors will be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the Code, as amended, without further action by the Company’s shareholders.  These provisions in the Company’s articles of incorporation may limit the remedies available to a shareholder in the event of breaches of any director’s duties.

 

The Company’s bylaws require the Company to indemnify and hold harmless any director or officer who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit or proceeding whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, including any action or suit by or in the right of the Company, because the person is or was a Company director or officer against liability incurred in such proceeding.  The Company’s bylaws generally prohibit the Company from indemnifying any officer or director who is adjudged liable to the Company or is subjected to injunctive relief in favor of the Company for:

 

                                          any appropriation, in violation of the director’s or officer’s duties, of any business opportunity;

 

                                          acts or omissions that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

 

                                          unlawful corporate distributions as set forth in Section 14-2-832 of the Code; or

 

                                          any transactions from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

 

3



 

The Company’s bylaws require the Company, under certain circumstances, to advance expenses to Company officers and directors who are parties to an action, suit, or proceeding for which indemnification may be sought.  The bylaws permit, but do not require, the Company to indemnify and advance expenses to its employees or agents who are not officers or directors to the same extent and subject to the same conditions that a corporation could, without shareholder approval under Section 14-2-856 of the Code.

 

The Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of September 14, 2005 among the Company, one of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries and Fidelity National Information Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation, obligates the Company to indemnify and hold harmless anyone who was a director or officer of the Company or its subsidiaries before the closing of the merger contemplated by the merger agreement against any costs or expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, or other loss or liability incurred in connection with any claim or proceeding arising out of matters existing or occurring at or prior to the effective time of the merger, including any matters arising in connection with the merger and related transactions, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.  The Company is also obligated under the merger agreement to advance expenses as incurred to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, provided that the person to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification.

 

The Company’s directors and officers are insured against losses arising from any claim against them as such for wrongful acts or omissions, subject to certain limitations.  Additionally, under the merger agreement, the Company purchased a six-year “tail” prepaid non-cancelable run-off insurance policy to cover anyone who was a director or officer of the Company or its subsidiaries prior to the closing of the merger for events, acts, or omissions occurring on or prior to the closing, including those occurring in connection with the merger and related transactions.

ITEM 9.  UNDERTAKINGS

 

(a)           The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

 

4



 

(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;

 

(ii)   To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this 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 this registration statement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in 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 SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;

 

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

 

Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this section do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-8, and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

 

(2)           That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, 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 of the registrant under the Securities Act 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:

 

(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;

 

5



 

(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, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference into this 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 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 SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Re:                               Registration Statement on Form S-8 for Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. 2005 Stock Incentive Plan

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We have acted as counsel to Fidelity National Information Services, Inc., a Georgia corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the preparation of a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”) to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) relating to an aggregate of 10,371,891 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, issuable by the Company in accordance with the Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).  This opinion letter is rendered pursuant to Item 8 of Form S-8 and Item 601(b)(5) of the Commission’s Regulation S-K.

 

As such counsel, we have examined and relied upon such records, documents, certificates and other instruments as in our judgment are necessary or appropriate to form the basis for the opinions hereinafter set forth. In all such examinations, we have assumed the genuineness of signatures on original documents and the conformity to such original documents of all copies submitted to us as certified, conformed or photographic copies, and as to certificates of public officials, we have assumed the same to have been properly given and to be accurate.

 

The opinions expressed herein are limited in all respects to the laws of the State of Georgia, and no opinion is expressed with respect to the laws of any other jurisdiction or any effect which such laws may have on the opinions expressed herein.  This opinion is limited to the matters stated herein, and no opinion is implied or may be inferred beyond the matters expressly stated herein.

 

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Shares to be issued upon grant or exercise of awards, or to be purchased, under the Plan are duly authorized and, when issued by the Company in accordance with the terms of the Plan, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

 



 

This opinion is given as of the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to advise you after the date hereof of facts or circumstances that come to our attention or changes in law that occur which could affect the opinions contained herein.  This letter is being rendered solely for the benefit of the Company in connection with the matters addressed herein.  This opinion may not be furnished to or relied upon by any person or entity for any purpose without our prior written consent.

 

We consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to 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 of 1933, as amended, or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

 

 

Yours truly,
