Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On January 18, 2007, Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. (the Company), and certain of
its subsidiaries to be designated upon notice (each, a Designated Borrower and, together with the
Company, the Borrowers and, each, a Borrower) entered into a Credit Agreement, dated as of
January 18, 2007, with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender, and
L/C Issuer, Bank of America, N.A., as Swing Line Lender, and other financial institutions party
thereto (the Credit Agreement). The Credit Agreement replaces:
|
(a) |
|
that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of March 9, 2005, as amended, among the
Company, Fidelity National Information Solutions, Inc., Fidelity National Tax Service,
Inc., Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto
(the Bank of America Credit Agreement), pursuant to which a $400 million revolving
credit facility and $2.8 billion in aggregate amount of term loans were made available
to the Company and certain of its subsidiaries; and |
|
|
(b) |
|
that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of February 1,
2006, between the Company and Wachovia Bank, N.A., pursuant to which a $100 million
revolving credit facility was made available to the Company. |
The Credit Agreement, which is unsecured, provides for a committed $2.1 billion five-year term
facility denominated in U.S. Dollars (the Term Loan) and a committed $900 million revolving
credit facility (the Revolving Loan) with a sublimit of $250 million for letters of credit and a
sublimit of $250 million for swing line loans, maturing on the fifth anniversary of the closing
date (the Maturity Date). The Revolving Loan is bifurcated into a $735 million multicurrency
revolving credit loan (the Multicurrency Tranche) that can be denominated in any combination of
U.S. Dollars, Euro, British Pounds Sterling and Australian Dollars, and any other foreign currency
in which the relevant lenders agree to make advances (collectively, the Permitted Currencies) and
a $165 million U.S. Dollar revolving credit loan that can be denominated only in U.S. Dollars. The
swingline loans and letters of credit are available as a sublimit under the Multicurrency Tranche.
In addition, the Credit Agreement provides for an uncommitted incremental loan facility (the
Incremental Loan) in the uncommitted maximum principal amount of $600 million, which will be made
available only upon receipt of further commitments from lenders under the Credit Agreement
sufficient to fund the amount requested by the Borrower. The Term Loan and the Revolving Loan are
referred to together herein as the Loans.
The Term Loan was fully drawn on the closing date. A total of $557 million was borrowed under the
Revolving Loan on the closing date. Each Borrower (other than any Designated Borrower that is a
foreign subsidiary) has jointly and severally, unconditionally guaranteed the full and punctual
payment of the Borrowers obligations under the Credit Agreement and related loan documents. In
addition, the obligations of the Borrowers under the Credit Agreement have been jointly and
severally, unconditionally guaranteed by substantially all of the domestic subsidiaries of the
Company.
The Borrowers may borrow, repay and re-borrow amounts under the Revolving Loan from time to time
until the maturity of the Revolving Loan. The Borrowers must make quarterly principal payments
under the Term Loan in scheduled installments of:
|
(a) |
|
$13,125,000 per quarter from March 31, 2007 through December 31, 2008; |
|
|
(b) |
|
$26,250,000 per quarter from March 31, 2009 through December 31, 2009; and |
|
|
(c) |
|
$52,500,000 per quarter from March 31, 2010 through September 30, 2011, with
the remaining balance of approximately $1,522,500,000 payable on the Maturity Date. |
In addition to the scheduled principal payments, the Term Loan is (with certain exceptions) subject
to mandatory prepayment from certain issuances of debt, certain casualty and condemnation events,
and certain sales of assets. Voluntary prepayments of the Loans are permitted at any time without
fee (other than with respect to any Bid Rate Advances, defined below, and any breakage of
eurocurrency periods applicable to the Loans being prepaid that bear interest at the eurocurrency
rate) upon proper notice and subject to a minimum dollar requirement. Commitment reductions of the
Revolving Loan are also permitted at any time without fee upon proper notice. The Revolving Loan
has no scheduled principal payments, but it will be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date.
The outstanding balance of the Loans will bear interest at a floating rate, which will be, at the
Borrowers option, either (a) the eurocurrency rate plus an applicable margin and mandatory cost or
(b) a base rate plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin is subject to adjustment based on
a leverage ratio (total indebtedness to EBITDA of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, as
further defined in the Credit Agreement). Alternatively, the Company has the ability to request
the lenders to submit competitive bids for one or more advances under the Revolving Loan (Bid Rate
Advances).
The Credit Agreement provides procedures for lenders to submit bids for Bid Rate Advances and for
the Company to accept or reject them.
The Credit Agreement contains affirmative, negative and financial covenants customary for
financings of this type, including, among other things, limits on the creation of liens, limits on
the incurrence of indebtedness, restrictions on investments and dispositions, limitations on
dividends and other restricted payments, a minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum leverage
ratio. Upon an event of default, the Administrative Agent can accelerate the maturity of the loan.
Events of default include conditions customary for such an agreement, including failure to pay
principal and interest in a timely manner and breach of certain covenants.

The foregoing does not constitute a complete summary of the terms of the Credit Agreement and
reference is made to the complete text of the agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this
Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by this reference.
Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.
In connection with the new Credit Agreement described in Item 1.01 above, the Company terminated
the Bank of America Credit Agreement on January 18, 2007 and repaid it in full before its final
scheduled expiration date of March 9, 2013. The final payment was approximately $2.64 billion,
including principal, interest and fees. The Company hereby incorporates the description of the
other terms of the agreement that were material to the Company from Item 1.01 of the Current Report
on Form 8-K of Fidelity National Financial, Inc. dated March 9, 2005. The agreement was
subsequently amended to, among other things, add the Company (then named Certegy, Inc.) as a
borrower and certain subsidiaries as guarantors. Bank of America, N.A., which was the
administrative agent under the Bank of America Credit Agreement, is a lender under the new Credit
Agreement. The Company incurred no early termination penalties in terminating the Bank of America
Credit Agreement.

under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
