(1) Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions of the Offers described in the Offer to Purchase, if the Maximum Purchase Condition (as defined below) is not satisfied with respect to every series of Notes, FIS will accept Notes for purchase in the order of their respective Acceptance Priority Level specified in the table above (with 1 being the highest Acceptance Priority Level and 14 being the lowest Acceptance Priority Level). It is possible that a series of Notes with a particular Acceptance Priority Level will not be accepted for purchase even if one or more series with a higher or lower Acceptance Priority Level are accepted for purchase.

(2) For each series of Notes in respect of which a par call date is indicated, the calculation of the applicable Total Consideration (as defined below) will be performed taking into account such par call date.

(3) The Total Consideration for each series of Notes (such consideration, the “Total Consideration”) payable per each $1,000, €1,000 or £1,000 principal amount, as applicable, of such series of Notes validly tendered for purchase will be based on the applicable Fixed Spread specified in the table above for such series of Notes, plus the applicable yield (i) in the case of the 2.950% Senior Notes due 2039 and 2.000% Senior Notes due 2030, corresponding to the May 2039 Interpolated Rate and May 2030 Interpolated Rate (each as defined below), respectively, or (ii) in the case of each other series of Notes, based on the bid-side price of the applicable U.S. Treasury reference security or the mid-market price of the U.K. government bond reference security, as applicable, as specified in the table above, as quoted on the applicable Bloomberg Reference Page as of 10:00 a.m. (Eastern time) on March 4, 2024, unless extended with respect to the applicable Offer (such date and time with respect to an Offer, as the same may be extended with respect to such Offer, the “Price Determination Date”). The Total Consideration does not include the applicable Accrued Coupon Payment (as defined below), which will be payable in cash in addition to the applicable Total Consideration.

The May 2039 Interpolated Rate means in the case of 2.950% Senior Notes due 2039, the rate, expressed as a percentage and rounded to the nearest 0.001% (with 0.0005 being rounded upwards), as determined by the dealer managers at the Price Determination Date, calculated by means of linear interpolation of the 15 Year Mid-Swap Rate and the 16 Year Mid- Swap Rate as follows: by (a) subtracting the 15 Year Mid-Swap Rate from the 16 Year Mid-Swap Rate and multiplying the result of such subtraction by the May 2039 Weight (and rounding the result of such multiplication to the nearest 0.001%), and (b) adding the 15 Year Mid-Swap Rate to the final result of (a); where “May 2039 Weight” means the amount, expressed as a fraction, calculated by dividing the actual number of days from (and including) the date falling exactly 15 years after the Initial Settlement Date to (but excluding) the applicable maturity date for the 2.950% Senior Notes due 2039 as described in the table above by 366. The 15 Year Mid-Swap Rate and the 16 Year Mid-Swap Rate will be such rates as quoted on the applicable Bloomberg page referenced in the table above at the applicable time on the Price Determination Date.

The May 2030 Interpolated Rate means in the case of 2.000% Senior Notes due 2030, the rate, expressed as a percentage and rounded to the nearest 0.001% (with 0.0005 being rounded upwards), as determined by the dealer managers at the Price Determination Date, calculated by means of linear interpolation of the 6 Year Mid-Swap Rate and the 7 Year Mid- Swap Rate as follows: by (a) subtracting the 6 Year Mid-Swap Rate from the 7 Year Mid-Swap Rate and multiplying the result of such subtraction by the May 2030 Weight (and rounding the result of such multiplication to the nearest 0.001%), and (b) adding the 6 Year Mid-Swap Rate to the final result of (a); where “May 2030 Weight” means the amount, expressed as a fraction, calculated by dividing the actual number of days from (and including) the date falling exactly 6 years after the Initial Settlement Date to (but excluding) the applicable maturity date for the 2.000% Senior Notes due 2030 as described in the table above by 365. The 6 Year Mid-Swap Rate and the 7 Year Mid-Swap Rate will be such rates as quoted on the applicable Bloomberg page referenced in the table above at the applicable time on the Price Determination Date.

The Notes denominated in U.S. dollars are referred to in this press release as “Dollar Notes,” the Notes denominated in Euros are referred to as “Euro Notes” and the Notes denominated in Pounds Sterling are referred to as “Sterling Notes.” The Offers will expire at 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on March 4, 2024, unless extended or earlier terminated (such date and time with respect to an Offer, as the same may be extended with respect to such Offer, the “Expiration Date”). Notes may be validly withdrawn at any time at or prior to 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on March 4, 2024, unless extended with respect to any Offer.

For Holders who deliver a Notice of Guaranteed Delivery and all other required documentation at or prior to the Expiration Date, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Tender Offer Documents, the deadline to validly tender Notes using the Guaranteed Delivery Procedures (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) will be the second business day after the Expiration Date and is expected to be 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on March 6, 2024, unless extended with respect to any Offer (the “Guaranteed Delivery Date”).

The Initial Settlement Date will be the third business day after the Expiration Date and is expected to be March 7, 2024. The Guaranteed Delivery Settlement Date will be the second business day after the Guaranteed Delivery Date and is expected to be March 8, 2024. Each of the Initial Settlement Date and the Guaranteed Delivery Settlement Date is herein referred to as a “Settlement Date.”

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, Holders whose Notes are accepted for purchase in the Offers will receive the applicable Total Consideration for each $1,000, €1,000 or £1,000 principal amount, as applicable, of such Notes in cash on the applicable Settlement Date. Promptly after 10:00 a.m. (Eastern time) on March 4, 2024, the Price Determination Date, unless extended with respect to any Offer, FIS will issue a press release specifying, among other things, the Total Consideration for each series of Notes validly tendered and accepted.

In addition to the applicable Total Consideration, Holders whose Notes are accepted for purchase will receive a cash payment equal to the accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes from and including the immediately preceding interest payment date for such Notes to, but excluding, the Initial Settlement Date (the “Accrued Coupon Payment”). Interest will cease to accrue on the Initial Settlement Date for all Notes accepted in the Offers, and Holders whose Notes are tendered pursuant to the Guaranteed Delivery Procedures and are accepted for purchase will not receive payment in respect of any interest for the period from and including the Initial Settlement Date. Under no circumstances will any interest be payable because of any delay in the transmission of funds to Holders by any Clearing System or its participants.

The Company’s obligation to complete an Offer with respect to a particular series of Notes validly tendered is conditioned on the satisfaction of conditions described in the Offer to Purchase, including that the aggregate principal amount purchased for the Offers (the “Aggregate Purchase Amount”) not exceed $2,250,000,000 (the “Maximum Purchase Amount”), and on the Maximum Purchase Amount being sufficient to include the aggregate principal amount of all validly tendered Notes of such series (after accounting for all validly tendered Notes accepted for purchase that have a higher Acceptance Priority Level) (the “Maximum Purchase Condition”). FIS reserves the right, but is under no obligation, to increase or waive the Maximum Purchase Amount, in its sole discretion subject to applicable law, with or without extending the Withdrawal Date. No assurance can be given that FIS will increase or waive the Maximum Purchase Amount. If Holders tender more Notes in the Offers than they expect to be accepted for purchase based on the Maximum Purchase Amount and FIS subsequently accepts more than such Holders expected of such Notes tendered as a result of an increase of the Maximum Purchase Amount, such Holders may not be able to withdraw any of their previously tendered Notes. Accordingly, Holders should not tender any Notes that they do not wish to be accepted for purchase.

For purposes of applying the Maximum Purchase Amount with respect to the Euro Notes, FIS intends to use a conversion rate of U.S. dollars to Euros of $1.0851 to €1.0000, which was the exchange rate as of 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on Monday, February 26, 2024, as displayed on the FXIP screen on Bloomberg. For purposes of applying the Maximum Purchase Amount with respect to the Sterling Notes, FIS intends to use a conversion rate of U.S. dollars to Pounds Sterling of $1.2685 to £1.0000, which was the exchange rate as of 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on Monday, February 26, 2024, as displayed on the FXIP screen on Bloomberg.

If the Maximum Purchase Condition is not satisfied with respect to each series of Notes, for (i) a series of Notes (the “First Non-Covered Notes”) for which the Maximum Purchase Amount is less than the sum of (x) the Aggregate Purchase Amount for all validly tendered First Non-Covered Notes and (y) the Aggregate Purchase Amount for all validly tendered Notes of all series having a higher Acceptance Priority Level as set forth in the table above (with 1 being the highest Acceptance Priority Level and 14 being the lowest Acceptance Priority Level) than the First Non-Covered Notes, and (ii) all series of Notes with an Acceptance Priority Level lower than the First Non-Covered Notes (together with the First Non-Covered Notes, the “Non- Covered Notes”), FIS may, at any time on or prior to the Expiration Time:

(a) terminate an Offer with respect to one or more series of Non-Covered Notes for which the Maximum Purchase Condition has not been satisfied, and promptly return all validly tendered Notes of such series, and any other series of Non-Covered Notes, to the respective tendering Holders; or

(b) waive the Maximum Purchase Condition with respect to one or more series of Non-Covered Notes and accept all Notes of such series, and of any series of Notes having a higher Acceptance Priority Level, validly tendered; or

(c) if there is any series of Non-Covered Notes with a lower Acceptance Priority Level than the First Non-Covered Notes for which:

(i) the Aggregate Purchase Amount necessary to purchase all validly tendered Notes of such series, plus

(ii) the Aggregate Purchase Amount necessary to purchase all validly tendered Notes of all series having a higher Acceptance Priority Level than such series of Notes, other than any series of Non-Covered Notes that has or have not also been accepted as contemplated by this clause (c), is equal to, or less than, the Maximum Purchase Amount, accept all validly tendered Notes of all such series having a lower Acceptance Priority Level, until there is no series of Notes with a higher or lower Acceptance Priority Level to be considered for purchase for which the conditions set forth above are met.

It is possible that a series of Notes with a particular Acceptance Priority Level will fail to meet the conditions set forth above and therefore will not be accepted for purchase even if one or more series with a higher or lower Acceptance Priority Level are accepted for purchase.

For purposes of determining whether the Maximum Purchase Condition is satisfied, FIS will assume that all Notes tendered pursuant to the Guaranteed Delivery Procedures will be duly delivered at or prior to the Guaranteed Delivery Time and FIS will not subsequently adjust the acceptance of the Notes in accordance with the Acceptance Priority Levels if any such Notes are not so delivered. FIS reserves the right, subject to applicable law, to waive the Maximum Purchase Condition with respect to any Offer.

The Offers are subject to the satisfaction of these conditions and certain other conditions. FIS reserves the right, subject to applicable law, to waive any and all conditions to any Offer. If any of the conditions is not satisfied, FIS is not obligated to accept for payment, purchase or pay for, and may delay the acceptance for payment of, any tendered notes, in each event subject to applicable laws, and may terminate or alter any or all of the Offers. The Offers are not conditioned on the tender of any aggregate minimum principal amount of Notes of any series (subject to minimum denomination requirements as set forth in the Offer to Purchase).

Morgan Securities plc, MUFG Securities Americas Inc. and U.S. Bancorp Investments, Inc. to act as the lead dealer managers for the Offers and Barclays Bank PLC, Barclays Capital Inc., BMO Capital Markets Corp., BofA Securities, Credit Agricole Securities (USA) Inc., Goldman Sachs & Co.
