leader in financial services technology, today announced that it intends
to make offerings, subject to market and other considerations, of senior
notes denominated in Euro, Pounds sterling and U.S. dollars, each in one

borrowings, to provide funds for the cash portion of the merger
consideration for its pending merger with Worldpay, Inc. (“Worldpay”),
