NOTE 1—BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Business, consolidation and presentation

We are a leading worldwide provider of paymentpure play payments technology andcompany delivering innovative software solutions delivering innovativeand services to our customers globally. Our technologies, services and employee expertise enable us to provide a broad range of solutions that allow our customers to accept various payment types and operate their businesses more efficiently. We distribute our servicesefficiently across a variety of channels in 32 countries throughout North America, Europe,around the Asia-Pacific region and Brazil andworld. We operate in three3 reportable segments: North America, EuropeMerchant Solutions, Issuer Solutions and Asia-Pacific.
We were incorporatedBusiness and Consumer Solutions, which are described in Georgia as Global Payments Inc. in 2000 and spun-off from our former parent company in 2001. Including our time as part of our former parent company, we have been in the payment technology services business since 1967."Note 11—Segment Information." Global Payments Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries are referred to herein collectively as "Global Payments," the "Company," "we," "our" or "us," unless the context requires otherwise.

These unaudited consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our majority-owned subsidiaries, and all intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") for interim financial information pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 20182019 was derived from the audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20182019 but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements.

In the opinion of our management, all known adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods have been made. These adjustments consist of normal recurring accruals and estimates that affect the carrying amount of assets and liabilities. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019.

On May 27, 2019, Global PaymentsRecent developments relating to the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic ("COVID-19")

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus a global pandemic. The pandemic is causing major disruptions to businesses and Total System Services, Inc. ("TSYS") entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger ("Merger Agreement") providing for the merger of TSYS with and into Global Payments, with Global Paymentsmarkets worldwide as the surviving entity (the "Merger"). TSYS is a leading global payments provider, offering seamless, securevirus continues to spread. A number of countries as well as many states and innovative solutions acrosscities within the payments spectrum - for issuers, merchantsUnited States have enacted temporary closures of businesses, issued quarantine or shelter-in-place orders and consumers. The Merger is subjecttaken other restrictive measures in response to the satisfaction or waiver of the closing conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, including shareholder approval for both companies. Upon completion of the Merger, TSYS will no longer be a separate publicly traded corporation. Global Payments will continue to trade on the New York Stock Exchange. See "Note 2—Acquisitions" and "Note 7—Long-Term Debt and Lines of Credit" for further information about the proposed Merger and related debt financing.COVID-19.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. In particular, the magnitude, duration and effects of the COVID-19 pandemic are difficult to predict at this time, and the ultimate effect could result in additional charges related to the recoverability of assets, including financial assets, long-lived assets and goodwill and other losses. These unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect the financial statement effects of COVID-19 based upon management’s estimates and assumptions utilizing the most currently available information.

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting PronouncementsStandards Update ("ASU") 2018-15In February 2016,August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases." ASU 2016-02 requires recognition of assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by leases and new disclosures about leases. We adopted ASU 2016-02, as well as other related clarifications and interpretive guidance issued by the FASB, on January 1, 2019 using the optional modified retrospective transition method. Under this transition method, we did not recast the prior period financial statements presented. We elected the transition package of three practical expedients, which among other things, allowed for the carryforward of historical lease classifications. We made accounting policy elections to not recognize assets or liabilities for leases with a term of less than twelve months and to account for all components in a lease arrangement as a single combined lease component.

The adoption of ASU 2016-02 resulted in the measurement and recognition of lease liabilities in the amount of $274.0 million and right-of-use assets in the amount of $236.0 million as of January 1, 2019. Lease liabilities were measured as the present value of remaining lease payments, and the corresponding right-of-use assets were measured at an amount equal to the lease liabilities

adjusted by the amounts of certain assets and liabilities, such as deferred lease obligations and prepaid rent, that we previously recognized on the balance sheet prior to the initial application of ASU 2016-02. To calculate the present value of remaining lease payments, we elected to use an incremental borrowing rate based on the remaining lease term at transition.

Recently Issued Pronouncements Not Yet AdoptedIn August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract (A Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force)." ASU 2018-15 provides additional guidance on the accounting for costs of implementation activities performed in a cloud computing arrangement (i.e., hosting arrangement) that is a service contract. The new guidance amends the definition of a hosting arrangement and requires a customer in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract to capitalize certain implementation costs as if the arrangement was an internal-use software project.


We adopted ASU 2018-15 on January 1, 2020, applying the guidance prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. We have historically capitalized implementation costs for internal-use software projectsassociated with cloud computing arrangements that are service contracts following the guidance in Subtopic 350-40 and will continue to do so pursuant to the clarifications provided in the new guidance. We expect to amortize deferred implementation costs to expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the applicable hosting arrangement. The amendments in this update also provide additional presentation and disclosure requirements, including requirements to disclose the nature of an entity’s hosting arrangements that are service contracts, as well as quantitative information about capitalized implementation costs and related amortization expense. The guidance will become effective for us on January 1, 2020. Entities have the option to apply the guidance prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption or retrospectively.
ASU 2016-13 We are comparing the guidance in ASU 2018-15 to our current accounting practices for costs of implementation activities performed in cloud computing arrangements. We have not yet quantified the effect, if any, of ASU 2018-15 on our consolidated balance sheet or our statements of income and cash flows.

In June 2016, the FASB issuedadopted ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments." on January 1, 2020 using the modified retrospective transition method. The adoption of this standard resulted in a cumulative-effect adjustment to decrease retained earnings by $5.4 million, net of tax. The amendments in this update changechanged how companieswe measure and recognize credit impairment for manycertain financial instruments measured at amortized cost. The new model forUnder the current expected credit losses ("CECL") will require us to immediatelymodel, we recognize an estimate of credit losses expected to occur over the remaining life of theeach pool of financial instruments that are within the scope of the update, includingassets with similar risk characteristics.
We have exposure to credit losses for financial assets such as accounts receivable, andcertain settlement processing assets, eachcheck guarantee claims receivable assets and advances to sales representatives. We utilize a combination of aging or loss-rate methods to develop an estimate of current expected credit losses, depending on the nature and risk profile of the underlying asset pool. A broad range of information is considered in the estimation process, including historical loss information adjusted for current conditions and expectations of future trends. The estimation process also includes consideration of qualitative and quantitative risk factors associated with the age of asset balances, expected timing of payment, contract terms and conditions, changes in specific customer risk profiles or mix of customers, geographic risk, industry or economic trends and relevant environmental factors.
As of March 31, 2020, the total allowance for credit losses was approximately $29.3 million. Financial assets are presented net of the allowance for credit losses in the consolidated balance sheets. The measurement of the allowance for credit losses is recognized through credit loss expense. Depending on the nature of the underlying asset, credit loss expense is included as a component of cost of service or selling, general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of income. Write-offs are recorded in the period in which the asset is short-termdeemed uncollectible. Recoveries are recorded when received as a direct credit to the credit loss expense in nature. Under current GAAP,the consolidated statements of income. Prior to the adoption of ASU 2016-13, credit losses on these financial instruments are notwere recognized until theirwhen an occurrence iswas deemed to be probable.
Recently issued pronouncements not yet adopted

ASU 2019-12In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes," which is intended to enhance and simplify various aspects of the accounting for income taxes. The amendments in this update remove certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. ASU 2019-12 also clarifies and amends existing guidance will becometo improve consistent application of the accounting for franchise taxes, enacted changes in tax laws or rates and transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. ASU 2019-12 is effective for us on January 1, 2020. In general, the new guidance will require modified retrospective application to all outstanding financial assets that areannual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted in the scope of the update, with a cumulative-effect adjustment, if any recorded to retained earnings as of the date of adoption.interim period. We are evaluating the effect of ASU 2016-13 on our consolidated financial statements, including comparing how we currently measure and recognize our allowance for doubtful accounts on accounts receivable and our reserve for operating losses and sales allowances to how we would make such measurements applying the new CECL model. We have not yet quantified the effect, if any, of ASU 2016-132019-12 on our consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2020-04In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)," which provides optional expedients and exceptions to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments in this update apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference London Inter-bank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The expedients and exceptions provided by the amendments do not apply to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2022, except for hedging relationships existing as of December 31, 2022 for which an entity has elected certain optional expedients and are retained through the end of the hedging relationship. The amendments in this update also include a general principle that permits an entity to consider contract modifications due to reference rate reform to be an event that does not require contract remeasurement at the modification date or reassessment of a previous accounting determination. If elected, the optional expedients for contract modifications must be applied consistently for all eligible contracts or eligible transactions within the relevant Topic or Industry Subtopic within the Codification that contains the guidance that otherwise would be required to be applied. The amendments in this update can be adopted anytime beginning March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. We are evaluating the effect of ASU 2020-04 on our consolidated financial statements.


NOTE 2—ACQUISITIONS

Pending Merger with TSYSTotal System Services, Inc.

In connection with the proposed Merger, we have determined that Global Payments would be the acquirer of TSYS for accounting purposes. In the proposed Merger, holders of TSYS common stock would receive 0.8101 shares of Global Payments common stock for each share of TSYS common stock they own at the effective time of the Merger ("Exchange Ratio").

The preliminary estimated Merger consideration to be transfered to TSYS shareholders is $23.7 billion based on the number of TSYS common shares outstanding and the closing price of our common stock on July 25, 2019. Merger consideration will include the amount of TSYS' unsecured revolving credit facility that we are required to repay upon consummation of the Merger. During the three and six months ended June 30,On September 18, 2019, we incurred transaction costs related to the Merger of $12.2 million.merged with Total System Services, Inc. ("TSYS") (the "Merger"). We expect the Merger to close in the fourth quarter of 2019, subject to customary closing conditions, regulatory approvals and shareholder approval for both companies. See "Note 7—Long-Term Debt and Lines of Credit" for a description of related debt financing activities.


Business Combinations

The transactions described below were accounted for this transaction as a business combinations,combination, which generally requires that we record the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value as of the acquisition date.

SICOM

On October 17, 2018, we acquired SICOM Systems, Inc. ("SICOM") for total purchase consideration of $410.2 million, which we funded with cash on hand and by drawing on our Revolving Credit Facility (described in "Note 7—Long-Term Debt and Lines of Credit"). SICOM is a provider of end-to-end enterprise, cloud-based software solutions and other technologies to quick service restaurants and food service management companies. 

The provisional estimated acquisition-date fair values of major classes of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of June 30,December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2020, including a reconciliation to the total purchase consideration, were as follows (in thousands):follows:

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we made an adjustment of $1.0 million to reflect an increase in the total purchase consideration. As of June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, we considered these balancesamounts to be provisional because we were still in the process of gathering and reviewing information to support the valuations of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. We made measurement-period adjustments, as shown in the table above, that decreased the amount of provisional goodwill by $54.7 million. The decrease in deferred income tax liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2020 primarily relates to a refined analysis of the outside bases of partnerships. The effects of the measurement-period adjustments on our consolidated statement of income for the three months ended March 31, 2020 were not material.

GoodwillAs of March 31, 2020, provisional goodwill arising from the acquisition of $266.2 million,$17.3 billion was included in our reportable segments as follows: $7.1 billion in the North AmericaMerchant Solutions segment, $7.9 billion in the Issuer Solutions segment and $2.3 billion in the Business and Consumer Solutions segment. Goodwill was attributable to expected growth opportunities, an assembled workforce and potential synergies from combining the acquired business into our existing businesses. We expect that approximately $40 million of the goodwill from this acquisition will be deductible for income tax purposes.

AdvancedMD

On September 4, 2018, we acquired AdvancedMD, Inc. ("AdvancedMD") for total purchase consideration of $706.9 million, which we funded with cash on hand and by drawing on our Revolving Credit Facility. AdvancedMD is a provider of cloud-based enterprise software solutions to small-to-medium sized ambulatory care physician practices.

The provisional estimated acquisition-date fair values of major classes of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of June 30, 2019, including a reconciliation to the total purchase consideration, were as follows (in thousands):

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we made measurement period adjustments, including a $5.6 million reduction to deferred income tax liabilities, which resulted in a corresponding reduction to goodwill. As of June 30, 2019, we considered these balances to be provisional because we were still in the process of gathering and reviewing information to support the valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

Goodwill arising from the acquisition of $371.3 million, included in the North America segment, was attributable to expected growth opportunities, an assembled workforce and potential synergies from combining our existing businesses.business.

Valuation of Identified Intangible Assets


For the acquisitions discussed above,three months ended March 31, 2020, the estimated fair valuesacquired operations of customer-related intangible assets were determined using the income approach, which was based on projected cash flows discountedTSYS contributed $1,055.0 million to their present value using discount rates that consider the timingour consolidated revenues and risk of the forecasted cash flows. The discount rates used represented the average estimated value of a market participant’s cost of capital and debt, derived using customary market metrics. Acquired technologies were valued using the replacement cost method, which required us$115.5 million to estimate the costs to construct an asset of equivalent utility at prices available at the time of the valuation analysis, with adjustments in value for physical deterioration and functional and economic obsolescence. Trademarks and trade names were valued using the "relief-from-royalty" approach. This method assumes that trademarks and trade names have value to the extent that their owner is relieved of the obligation to pay royalties for the benefits received from them. This method required us to estimate the future revenues for the related brands, the appropriate royalty rate and the weighted-average cost of capital.our consolidated operating income.


At March 31, 2020, accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet included obligations totaling $48.3 million for employee termination benefits resulting from Merger-related integration activities. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we recognized charges for employee termination benefits of $17.6 million, which included $2.6 million of share-based compensation expense. As of March 31, 2020, the cumulative amount of recognized charges for employee termination benefits resulting from Merger-related integration activities was $74.7 million, which included $19.9 million of share-based compensation expense. These charges are recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statements of income and included within Corporate expenses for segment reporting purposes. New obligations may arise as Merger-related integration activities continue in 2020.

NOTE 6—LEASES

Our leases consist primarily of operating real estate leases for office space in the markets in which we conduct business. Many of our operating leases include escalating rental payments and incentives, as well as termination and renewal options. Certain of our lease agreements provide that we pay the cost of property taxes, insurance and maintenance. As described in "Note 1—Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies," we adopted ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019. Unless otherwise indicated, the following information in this footnote applies only to periods after December 31, 2018.

We evaluate each of our lease and service arrangements at inception to determine if the arrangement is, or contains, a lease and the appropriate classification of each identified lease. A lease exists if we obtain substantially all of the economic benefits of, and have the right to control the use of, an asset for a period of time. Right-of-use assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease agreement. We recognize right-of-use assets and leases liabilities at the lease commencement date based on the present values of fixed lease payments over the term of the lease. Lease costs are recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We consider a termination or renewal option in the determination of the lease term when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. The weighted-average remaining lease term at June 30, 2019 was 10.1 years. Because our leases generally do not provide a readily determinable implicit interest rate, we use an incremental borrowing rate to measure the lease liability and associated

right-of-use asset at the lease commencement date. The incremental borrowing rate used is a fully collateralized rate that considers our credit rating, market conditions and the term of the lease at the lease commencement date. As of June 30, 2019, the weighted-average discount rate used in the measurement of our lease liabilities was 5.0%.

The effects of adopting ASU 2016-02 on our balance sheet, as of January 1, 2019, are set forth in the table below. Adoption did not have a material effect on any line items in our consolidated statement of income or on our cash flows from operating activities, investing activities or financing activities included in our consolidated statement of cash flows. As of June 30, 2019 and January 1, 2019, right-of-use assets and lease liabilities consisted of the following (in thousands):

Operating lease costs in our consolidated statement of income for the three months ended June 30, 2019 were $14.1 million, including $12.9 million in selling, general and administrative expenses and $1.2 million in cost of services.Operating lease costs in our consolidated statement of income for the six months ended June 30, 2019 were $29.8 million, including $27.4 million in selling, general and administrative expenses and $2.4 million in cost of services.Total lease costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 include variable lease costs of approximately $2.6 million and $5.0 million, respectively, which are primarily comprised of the cost of property taxes, insurance and maintenance. Lease costs for leases with a term of less than twelve months were not material for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.

Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of operating lease liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $26.1 million, which is included as a component of cash provided by operating activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows. Operating lease liabilities arising from obtaining new or modified right-of-use assets, net of reductions resulting from certain lease modifications, were approximately $4.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

We have an additional $3.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes consisting of the Revolving Credit Facility are included in prepaid expensesfollowing: (i) $750 million aggregate principal amount of 3.800% senior notes due 2021; (ii) $550 million aggregate principal amount of 3.750% senior notes due 2023; (iii) $550 million aggregate principal amount of 4.000% senior notes due 2023; (iv) $750 million aggregate principal amount of 4.800% senior notes due 2026; and other current assets and other noncurrent assets,(v) $450 million aggregate principal amount of 4.450% senior notes due 2028. For the 3.800% senior notes due 2021 and the portion4.800% senior notes due 2026, interest is payable semi-annually each April 1 and October 1. For the 3.750% senior notes due 2023, the 4.000% senior notes due 2023 and the 4.450% senior notes due 2028, interest is payable semi-annually each June 1 and December 1. The difference between the fair value and face value of deferred debt issuance costs related tothese senior notes at the term loansdate the Merger was consummated is reported as a reduction to the carrying amount of the term loans. Debt issuance costs are amortized as an adjustment to interest expenserecognized over the terms of the respective facilities.notes as a reduction of interest expense. The amortization of this fair value adjustment was $9.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

As of March 31, 2020, our senior notes had a total carrying amount of $6.2 billion and an estimated fair value of $6.2 billion. The estimated fair value of our senior notes was based on quoted market prices in an active market and is considered to be a Level 1 measurement of the valuation hierarchy. The fair value of other long-term debt approximated its carrying amount at March 31, 2020.

Compliance with Covenants

The Credit Facility agreement containssenior unsecured term loan and revolving credit facility contain customary conditions to funding, affirmative and restrictive covenants, including, among others,negative covenants, financial covenants based on our leverage and interest coverage ratios, as defined in the agreement.events of default. As of June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, financial covenants under the Credit Facility Agreementterm loan facility required a leverage ratio no greater than: (i) 5.00of 3.50 to 1.00 as of the end of any fiscal quarter ending during the period from April 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019; (ii) 4.75 to 1.00 as of the end of any fiscal quarter ending during the period from July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020; and (iii) 4.50 to 1.00 as of the end of any fiscal quarter ending thereafter. Thean interest coverage ratio is requiredof 3.00 to be no less than 3.25 to 1.00.

The Credit Facility agreement includes covenants, subject in each case to exceptions and qualifications that may restrict certain payments, including in certain circumstances, the repurchasing of our common stock and paying cash dividends in excess of our current rate of $0.01 per share per quarter. We were in compliance with all applicable covenants as of June 30, 2019.

Bridge Facility and New Permanent Financing Arrangements

In connection with our entry into the Merger Agreement described in "Note 2—Acquisitions," on May 27, 2019, we obtained commitments for a $2.75 billion, 364-day senior unsecured bridge facility (the "Bridge Facility"). The Bridge Facility was established to refinance the Credit Facility and to refinance TSYS' unsecured revolving credit facility in order to establish an unsecured capital structure under which we can assume certain existing TSYS senior notes. We expect to execute permanent financing of $7.5 billion (a new $3.0 billion revolving credit facility and a new $2.0 billion term loan facility, which we entered into on July 9, 2019, as described below, and is expected to also include $2.5 billion of senior notes) prior to the closing of the Merger that will eliminate the need for the Bridge Facility commitments. Fees associated with the Bridge Facility of $11.7 million were capitalized and will be amortized to interest expense through the expected date of termination of the Bridge Facility commitment. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, we recognized $2.9 million of these fees as interest expense. The remaining unamortized portion of $8.8 million is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on our consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2019.

On July 9, 2019, we entered into a term loan credit agreement ("Term Loan Credit Agreement") and a credit agreement ("Unsecured Revolving Credit Agreement" and, together with the Term Loan Credit Agreement, the "Agreements"), in each case with a syndicate of financial institutions. Upon entry into the Agreements, the aggregate commitments under the Bridge Facility described above were reduced to approximately $2.1 billion. The Term Loan Credit Agreement provides for a senior unsecured $2.0 billion term loan facility and we, at our discretion, have the ability to seek to increase the term loan capacity by an additional $1.0 billion ("Term Loan Facility"). The Unsecured Revolving Credit Agreement provides for a senior unsecured $3.0 billion revolvingMarch 31, 2020.

credit facility ("Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility"). The Term Loan Facility and the Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility will be available for borrowing on the date on which the Merger becomes effective subject to customary limited conditionality for borrowings related to the Merger. The Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility will be otherwise available subject to customary conditionality. The Term Loan Credit Agreement and the Unsecured Revolving Credit Agreement will mature on the fifth anniversary of the closing date of the Merger.

Settlement Lines of Credit

In various markets where we do business, we have specialized lines of credit, which are restricted for use in funding settlement. The settlement lines of credit generally have variable interest rates, are subject to annual review and are denominated in local currency but may, in some cases, facilitate borrowings in multiple currencies. For certain of our lines of credit, the available credit is increased by the amount of cash we have on deposit in specific accounts with the lender. Accordingly, the amount of the outstanding linelines of credit may exceed the stated credit limit. As of June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018,2019, a total of $68.9$58.0 million and $70.6$74.5 million, respectively, of cash on deposit was used to determine the available credit.

As of June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018, respectively,2019 we had $736.2$375.2 million and $700.5$463.2 million, respectively, outstanding under these lines of credit with additional capacity to fund settlement of $628.1$1,092.1 million as of June 30, 2019 to fund settlement. The weighted-average interest rate on these borrowings was 3.01% and 2.97% at June 30, 2019 and DecemberMarch 31, 2018, respectively.2020. During the three months ended June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, the maximum and average outstanding balances under these lines of credit were $873.0$679.0 million and $440.5$376.4 million, respectively. The weighted-average interest rate on these borrowings was 1.99% and 3.16% at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Derivative Agreements

We have interest rate swap agreements with financial institutions to hedge changes in cash flows attributable to interest rate risk on a portion of our variable-rate debt instruments. Net amounts to be received or paid under the swap agreements are reflected as adjustments to interest expense. Since we have designated the interest rate swap agreements as portfolio cash flow hedges, unrealized gains or losses resulting from adjusting the swaps to fair value are recorded as components of other comprehensive income.

In addition, in June 2019, in anticipation of the expected issuance of the senior notes in connection with the Merger, as described earlier in this Note, we entered into forward-starting interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $1.0 billion. The forward-starting interest rate swaps, designated as cash flow hedges, are designed to manage the exposure to interest rate volatility with regard to the expected future issuances of senior notes. The effective portion of the gains or losses are reported as a component of other comprehensive loss. Beginning in the period in which the planned issuance occurs and the related derivatives are terminated, the effective portion of the gains or losses will be reclassified into interest expense over the term of the related debt.

income (loss). The fair values of theour interest rate swaps were determined based on the present value of the estimated future net cash flows using implied rates in the applicable yield curve as of the valuation date. These derivative instruments were classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of stock options granted, including Replacement Awards, during the sixthree months ended June 30,March 31, 2020 and 2019 was $54.85 and 2018 was $39.60, and $35.09, respectively. Fair value was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes valuation model with the following weighted-average assumptions:
Six Months EndedThree Months Ended
June 30, 2019 June 30, 2018March 31, 2020 March 31, 2019
    
Risk-free interest rate2.49% 2.60%1.24% 2.49%
Expected volatility30% 29%30% 30%
Dividend yield0.04% 0.04%0.39% 0.04%
Expected term (years)5 55 5


The risk-free interest rate was based on the yield of a zero coupon U.S. Treasury security with a maturity equal to the expected life of the option from the date of the grant. Our assumption on expected volatility was based on our historical volatility. The dividend yield assumption was determined using our average stock price over the preceding year and the annualized amount of our most current quarterly dividend per share. We based our assumptions on the expected term of the options on our analysis of the historical exercise patterns of the options and our assumption on the future exercise pattern of options.
 
NOTE 11—9—EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share ("EPS") was computed by dividing net income attributable to Global Payments by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. Earnings available to common shareholders was the same as reported net income attributable to Global Payments for all periods presented.


Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income attributable to Global Payments by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period, including the effect of share-based awards that would have a dilutive effect on EPS. All stock options with an exercise price lower than the average market share price of our common stock for the period are assumed to have a dilutive effect on EPS. The dilutive share base for the three months ended March 31, 2020 excludes approximately

124,888 shares, related to stock options that would have an antidilutive effect on the computation of diluted earnings per share. There were 0 such shares for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

NOTE 12—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Purchase Obligations

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, our purchase obligations increased as a result of our entry into an arrangement to acquire software and related services for $293.8 million. We financed $97.6 million of this amount utilizing a two-year vendor financing arrangement. As of March 31, 2020, the estimated remaining purchase commitments that are due for this acquisition are $47.6 million during the remainder of 2020, $64.9 million during 2021, $66.9 million during 2022 and $16.8 million during 2023.



Legal Matters

On September 23, 2019, a jury in the Superior Court of Dekalb County, Georgia, awarded Frontline Processing Corp. ("Frontline") $135.2 million in damages, costs and attorney's fees (plus interest) following a trial of a breach of contract dispute between Frontline and Global Payments, wherein Frontline alleged that Global Payments violated provisions of the parties' Referral Agreement and Master Services Agreement. The Superior Court entered a final judgment on the verdict in favor of Frontline on September 30, 2019. We believe the jury verdict is in error and Frontline’s case is completely without merit, and we are appealing the decision to the Georgia Court of Appeals. While it is reasonably possible that we will incur some loss between zero and the judgment amount plus interest, we have determined that it is not probable that Global Payments has incurred a loss under the applicable accounting standard (Accounting Standards Codification Topic 450, Contingencies) as of March 31, 2020. As a result, we have not recorded a liability on the consolidated balance sheet with respect to this litigation.

Recent developments relating to the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic ("COVID-19")
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus a global pandemic. This outbreak is causing major disruptions to businesses and markets worldwide as the virus continues to spread. A number of countries as well as certain states and cities within the United States have enacted temporary closures of businesses, issued quarantine or shelter-in-place orders and taken other restrictive measures in response to COVID-19. We are closely monitoring the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. We are currently operating normally, and, at this time, we do not anticipate any significant operational effects as a result of the pandemic.

Our first quarter performance in January, February and through the first two weeks of March exceeded our internal expectations, excluding an Agreementimmaterial revenue effect from COVID-19 in our Asia Pacific region. However, starting in mid-March, the COVID-19 pandemic began to affect our results significantly in North America and PlanEurope as governments took actions to encourage social distancing and implement shelter-in-place directives. The deterioration in our financial results accelerated toward the end of Merger ("Merger Agreement") providingMarch as the pandemic spread further and the number of countries and localities adopting restrictive measures meaningfully increased. We expect that the COVID-19 pandemic will have an adverse effect on our revenues and financial results for the mergerremainder of TSYS with2020, although the magnitude and into Global Payments, with Global Payments as the surviving entity (the "Merger"). TSYS is a leading global payments provider, offering seamless, secure and innovative solutions across the payments spectrum - for issuers, merchants and consumers. The Merger is subject to the satisfaction or waiverduration of the closing conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, including shareholder approval for both companies. Upon completionultimate effects as a result of the Merger, TSYS will no longer be a separate publicly traded corporation. Global PaymentsCOVID-19 pandemic are not possible to predict at this time. We have taken and will continue to tradeimplement cost-saving actions, such as reductions in employee compensation costs, business travel and marketing initiatives, to help mitigate the financial effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

For a further discussion of trends, uncertainties and other factors that could affect our continuing operating results related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, see the section entitled "Risk Factors" in Item 1A in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

In the ordinary course of our business, a significant portion of our liquidity comes from operating cash flows.flows and borrowings, including the capacity under our credit facilities. Cash flow from operating activities is used to make planned capital investments in our business, to pursue acquisitions that meet our corporate objectives, to pay dividends, to pay principal and interest on our outstanding debt and to repurchase shares of our common stock. Accumulated cash balances are invested in high-quality, marketable short-term instruments. See below under "Bridge Facility and New Permanent Financing Arrangements" for a description of our planned financing in connection with the proposed Merger.

Our capital plan objectives are to support our operational needs and strategic plan for long-term growth while maintaining a low cost of capital. We use oura combination of bank financing, such as term loansborrowings under our credit facilities and our Revolving Credit Facility,senior note issuances, for general corporate purposes and to fund acquisitions. In addition, specialized lines of credit are also used in certain of our markets to fund merchant settlement prior to receipt of funds from the card network.

We believe that our current level of cash and borrowing capacity under our senior unsecured revolving credit facility, together with expected future cash flows from operations, will be sufficient to meet the needs of our existing operations and planned requirements for the foreseeable future. We have implemented measures to manage liquidity in future periods, including the reductions of planned capital expenditures and repurchases of our common stock. We regularly evaluate our liquidity and capital position relative to cash requirements, and we may elect to raise additional funds in the future through the issuance of debt or equity or by other means.

At June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, we had cash and cash equivalents totaling $1,047.7$1,800.1 million. Of this amount, we consider $437.2considered $1,297.8 million to be available for general purposes, of which approximately $26$29.0 million iswas undistributed foreign earnings considered to be indefinitely reinvested outside the United States. The available cash of $437.2$1,297.8 million doesdid not include the following: (i) settlement-related cash balances, (ii) funds held as collateral for merchant losses ("Merchant Reserves") and (iii) funds held for customers. Settlement-related cash balances represent funds that we hold when the incoming amount from the card networks precedes the funding obligation to the merchant. Settlement-related cash balances are not restricted; however, these funds are generally paid out in satisfaction of settlement processing obligations the following day. Merchant Reserves serve as collateral to minimize contingent liabilities associated with any losses that may occur under the merchant's agreement. While this cash is not restricted in its use, we believe that designating this cash to collateralize Merchant Reserves strengthens our fiduciary standing with our member sponsors and is in accordance with the guidelines set by the card networks. Funds held for customers and the corresponding liability that we record in customer deposits include amounts collected prior to remittance on our customers' behalf.


Operating activities provided net cash of $247.4$436.6 million and $506.8$229.7 million for the sixthree months ended June 30,March 31, 2020 and 2019, and 2018, respectively, which reflect net income adjusted for noncash items, including depreciation and amortization and changes in operating assets and liabilities.

Bridge Facility and New Permanent Financing Arrangements

In connection with our entry into the Merger Agreement described in "Note 2—Acquisitions," on May 27, 2019, we obtained commitments for a $2.75 billion, 364-day senior unsecured bridge facility (the "Bridge Facility"). The Bridge Facility was established to refinance the Credit Facility and to refinance TSYS' unsecured revolving credit facility in order to establish an unsecured capital structure under which we can assume certain existing TSYS senior notes. We expect to execute permanent financing of $7.5 billion (a new $3.0 billion revolving credit facility and a new $2.0 billion term loan facility, which we entered into on July 9, 2019, as described below, and is expected to also include $2.5 billion of senior notes) prior to the closing of the Merger that will eliminate the need for the Bridge Facility commitments.

On July 9, 2019, we entered into a term loan credit agreement ("Term Loan Credit Agreement") and a credit agreement ("Unsecured Revolving Credit Agreement" and, together with the Term Loan Credit Agreement, the "Agreements"), in each case with a syndicate of financial institutions. Upon entry into the Agreements, the aggregate commitments under the Bridge Facility described above were reduced to approximately $2.1 billion. The Term Loan Credit Agreement provides for a senior unsecured $2.0 billion term loan facility and we, at our discretion, have the ability to seek to increase the term loan capacity by an additional $1.0 billion ("Term Loan Facility"). The Unsecured Revolving Credit Agreement provides for a senior unsecured $3.0 billion revolving credit facility ("Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility"). The Term Loan Facility and the Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility will be available for borrowing on the date on which the Merger becomes effective subject to customary limited conditionality for borrowings related to the Merger. The Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility will be otherwise available subject to customary conditionality. The Term Loan Credit Agreement and the Unsecured Revolving Credit Agreement will mature on the fifth anniversary of the closing date of the Merger.


Settlement Lines of Credit

In various markets where we do business, we have specialized lines of credit, which are restricted for use in funding settlement. The settlement lines of credit generally have variable interest rates, are subject to annual review and are denominated in local currency but may, in some cases, facilitate borrowings in multiple currencies. For certain of our lines of credit, the available credit is increased by the amount of cash we have on deposit in specific accounts with the lender. Accordingly, the amount of the outstanding linelines of

credit may exceed the stated credit limit. As of June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018,2019, a total of $68.9$58.0 million and $70.6$74.5 million, respectively, of cash on deposit was used to determine the available credit.

As of June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018,2019, respectively, we had $736.2$375.2 million and $700.5$463.2 million outstanding under these lines of credit with additional capacity to fund settlement of $628.1$1,092.1 million as of June 30, 2019 to fund settlement. The weighted-average interest rate on these borrowings was 3.01% and 2.97% at June 30, 2019 and DecemberMarch 31, 2018, respectively.2020. During the three months ended June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, the maximum and average outstanding balances under these lines of credit were $873.0$679.0 million and $440.5$376.4 million, respectively. The weighted-average interest rate on these borrowings was 1.99% and 3.16% at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

See "Note 7—5—Long-Term Debt and Lines of Credit" in the notes to the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for further discussioninformation about our borrowing agreements and our lease liabilities.

Commitments and Contractual Obligations

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, our commitments and contractual obligations increased from the amounts disclosed in "Item 7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Commitments and Contractual Obligations" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase primarily relates to the acquisition of software and related services for $293.8 million. We financed $97.6 million of this amount utilizing a two-year vendor financing arrangement. As of March 31, 2020, the estimated remaining purchase commitments for this acquisition are $47.6 million during the remainder of 2020, $64.9 million during 2021, $66.9 million during 2022 and $16.8 million during 2023.

Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic on our Critical Accounting Policies

Because of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business beginning in mid-March, we evaluated the potential effects on our financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2020. However, the magnitude and duration of the ultimate effect of the COVID-19 pandemic are not possible to predict at this time, and our assessments are therefore subject to material revision.

Goodwill- We considered a variety of factors that might indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of any reporting unit is below its carrying amount at March 31, 2020, including general macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions, cost factors, overall financial performance of our borrowing arrangements.reporting units, events or changes affecting the composition or carrying amount of the net assets of our reporting units, our share price and other relevant events. For certain of our reporting units that were recently acquired in the Merger, we also considered the expected near term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on revenues and our cost mitigation efforts as well as longer term performance expectations. Based on the analyses completed, we believe it is not more likely than not that the carrying amount of any our reporting units exceeded the fair value as of March 31, 2020.

ITEM 3—QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There has been no significant change in our exposure to market risk during the quarter ended June 30, 2019. For a discussion of our exposure to market risk, refer to Part II, Item 7A, "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk," contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019.


ITEM 4—CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, management carried out, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in applicable rules and forms and are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in those reports is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
There were no changesDuring the quarter ended March 31, 2020, as part of our ongoing integration activities following the Merger, we continued to apply our controls and procedures to the acquired operations of TSYS and to augment our company-wide controls to address the risks inherent in an acquisition of this magnitude. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, our teams worldwide have been working remotely since the middle of March. We took precautionary measures to ensure our internal control over financial reporting duringaddressed risks working in a remote environment. We are continually monitoring and assessing the quarter ended June 30, 2019 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect,COVID-19 potential effects on the design and operating effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1—LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Litigation RelatedWe are party to a number of claims and lawsuits incidental to our business. In our opinion, the liabilities, if any, which may ultimately result from the outcome of such matters, individually or in the aggregate, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, liquidity, results of operations or cash flows. See "Note 12—Commitments and Contingencies" in the notes to the Merger

As of the date of this report, three putative class action lawsuits challenging the Merger have been filed. Two of these lawsuits, captioned Peters v. Total System Services, Inc. et al. (Case No. 4:19-cv-00114) and Wolf v. Total System Services, Inc., et al. (Case No. 4:19-cv-00115), were filed in the United States District Courtaccompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for the Middle District of Georgia on July 18, 2019. The third lawsuit, captioned Drulias v. Global Payments Inc., et. al (Case No. 60774/2019) was filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Westchester on July 19, 2019.  
The Peters lawsuit names as defendants TSYS, the current members of the TSYS board of directors andinformation about certain former members of the TSYS board of directors. The Wolf lawsuit names as defendants TSYS, members of the TSYS board of directors and Global Payments. The Drulias lawsuit names as defendants Global Payments and members of its board. The complaints filed in the lawsuits assert, among other things, claims against the members of the TSYS board of directors (and in the case of the Wolf action and the Drulias action, against Global Payments) for filing a materially incomplete registration statement with the SEC. The plaintiffs in the lawsuits seek, among other things, an injunction barring the Merger, rescission of the Merger or rescissory damages to the extent they have already been implemented, and an award of damages and attorney’s fees. We believe that the claims asserted in the lawsuits are without merit.legal matters.

ITEM 1A—RISK FACTORS

On May 27, 2019, we entered into the Merger Agreement with TSYS, pursuantThe following represent material changes to which TSYS will merge with and into us, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein. There are a number of risks and uncertainties relating to the Merger. Because of these risks, we have supplemented the risk factors previously disclosedincluded in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, to add the following risk factors:2019.

Regulatory approvalsOur business has been and is likely to continue to be negatively affected by the recent COVID-19 outbreak.

The recent outbreak of COVID-19 in many countries and regions, including the United States, Europe and Asia-Pacific, which was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020, continues to adversely affect global commercial activity and has contributed to significant volatility in the financial markets. Starting in mid-March 2020, COVID-19 began to affect our results significantly. The deterioration accelerated toward the end of March and has adversely affected and is likely to have a further negative effect on our near-term financial results due to reduced consumer, business and government spending upon which our revenues depend.

In particular, we may experience financial losses due to a number of operational factors, including:

Merchant temporary closures and failures;
Continued unemployment which may negatively influence consumer spending;
Third-party disruptions, including potential outages at network providers, call centers and other suppliers;
Increased cyber and payment fraud risk related to COVID-19, as cybercriminals attempt to profit from the disruption, given increased online banking, e-commence and other online activity; and
Challenges to the availability and reliability of our solutions and services due to changes to operations, including the possibility of one or more clusters of COVID-19 cases occurring at our data centers, contact centers or operations centers, affecting our employees or affecting the systems or employees of our clients or other third parties on which we depend.

These factors may remain prevalent for a significant period of time and may continue to adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition even after the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided. The full effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and are difficult to predict at this time, including, but not limited to, the duration and spread of the pandemic, its severity, the restrictive actions taken to contain the virus or treat its effects, its effects on our customers and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions, operations and demand for our services can resume. It is also likely that the current outbreak or continued spread of COVID-19 will cause an economic slowdown, and it is possible that it could cause a global recession. Accordingly, the ultimate effects on our operations, financial condition and cash flows cannot be received, may take longer than expected or may require conditionsdetermined at this time. Nevertheless, despite the uncertainty of the COVID-19 situation, we expect that are not presently anticipated or that couldthe COVID-19 pandemic will have an adverse effect on the combined company following the Merger.
Before the Merger may be completed, various authorizations, consents, clearances, ordersour revenues and approvals must be obtained from various antitrust and regulatory authorities in the United States and in foreign jurisdictions. The governmental entities from which these approvals are required may refuse to approve the Merger or impose requirementsfinancial results for the completionremainder of the Merger. Any conditions or requirements imposed could have the effect of delaying or preventing completion of the Merger or imposing additional costs on or limiting the revenues of the combined company following the Merger, any of which might have an adverse effect on the combined company following the Merger.2020.

We expect to incur substantial costs related toFurthermore, the Merger and integration.
We have incurred and expect to incur a significant amount of non-recurring costs associated with the Merger. These costs include financial advisory, legal, accounting, consulting and other advisory fees, severance/employee benefit-related costs, public company filing fees and other regulatory fees, printing costs and other related costs. Some of these costs are payable by us regardless of whether or not the Merger is completed.

The combined company is expected to incur substantial costs in connection with the related integration. There are a large number of processes, policies, procedures, operations, technologies and systems that may need to be integrated, including purchasing, accounting and finance, sales, payroll, pricing and benefits. While we have assumed that a certain level of costs will be incurred, there are many factors beyond our control that could affect the total amount or the timing of the integration costs. Moreover, many of the costs that will be incurred are, by their nature, difficult to estimate accurately. These costs could, particularly in the near term, exceed the savings that the combined company expects to achieve from the elimination of duplicative costsCOVID-19 pandemic and the realizationresulting adverse and unpredictable economic conditions are likely to implicate or exacerbate other risks identified in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, which in turn could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of economies of scaleoperations and cost savings. These integration costs may result in the combined company taking significant charges against earnings following the completion of the Merger, and the amount and timing of such charges are uncertain at present.liquidity.


Combining with TSYS may be more difficult, costly or time consuming than expected and we may fail to realize the anticipated benefits of the Merger.
The success of the Merger will depend, in part, on the ability to realize the anticipated cost savings from combining our business with TSYS. To realize the anticipated benefits and cost savings from the Merger, we and TSYS must successfully integrate and combine our businesses in a manner that permits those cost savings to be realized. If we and TSYS are not able to successfully achieve these objectives, the anticipated benefits of the Merger may not be realized fully or at all or may take longer to realize than expected. In addition, the actual cost savings and anticipated benefits of the Merger could be less than anticipated.

We have operated and, until the completion of the Merger, must continue to operate, independently of TSYS. It is possible that the integration process could result in the loss of key employees, the disruption of our ongoing business or inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies that adversely affect our ability to maintain relationships with clients, customers, commercial counterparties and employees or to achieve the anticipated benefits and cost savings of the Merger. Integration efforts between the two companies may also divert management attention and resources. These integration matters could have an adverse effect on us during this transition period and for an undetermined period after completion of the Merger on the combined company.

The future results of the combined company following the Merger may suffer if the combined company does not effectively manage its expanded operations.
Following the Merger, the size of the business of the combined company will increase significantly beyond the current size of our business. The combined company’s future success will depend, in part, upon its ability to manage this expanded business, which will pose substantial challenges for management, including challenges related to the management and monitoring of new operations and associated increased costs and complexity. The combined company may also face increased scrutiny from governmental authorities as a result of the significant increase in the size of its business. There can be no assurances that the combined company will be successful or that it will realize the expected operating efficiencies, cost savings, revenue enhancements or other benefits currently anticipated from the Merger.

The combined company may be unable to retain our and/or TSYS personnel successfully after the Merger is completed.
The success of the Merger will depend in part on the combined company’s ability to retain the talents and dedication of key employees currently employed by us and TSYS. It is possible that these employees may decide not to remain with us or TSYS, as applicable, while the Merger is pending or with the combined company after the Merger is consummated. If key employees terminate their employment, the combined company’s business activities may be adversely affected and management’s attention may be diverted from successfully integrating us and TSYS to hiring suitable replacements, all of which may cause the combined company’s business to suffer. In addition, we may not be able to locate or retain suitable replacements for any key employees who leave.

Termination of the Merger Agreement could negatively affect us.
If the Merger Agreement is terminated, there may be various consequences. For example, our business may have been affected adversely by the failure to pursue other beneficial opportunities due to the focus of management on the Merger, without realizing any of the anticipated benefits of completing the Merger. Additionally, if the Merger Agreement is terminated, the market price of our common stock could decline to the extent that the current market prices reflect a market assumption that the Merger will be completed. If the Merger Agreement is terminated under certain circumstances, we may be required to pay a termination fee of $860 million to TSYS.

Additionally, we have incurred and will incur substantial costs in connection with the negotiation and completion of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, as well as the costs of filing, printing and mailing the joint proxy statement/prospectus, and all filing and other fees paid to the SEC in connection with the Merger. If the Merger is not completed, we would have to recognize these as expense without realizing the expected benefits of the Merger.

We will incur indebtedness in connection with the Merger, which could adversely affect us, including by decreasing our business flexibility.
In connection with the consummation of the Merger, we intend to refinance our existing indebtedness and to assume and refinance certain indebtedness of TSYS. We have entered into credit agreements with respect to a $2.0 billion term loan facility and a $3.0 billion revolving facility that can be used, among other things, (a) to refinance certain of our outstanding indebtedness and certain outstanding indebtedness of TSYS in connection with the Merger, (b) to pay any cash payments in lieu of fractional shares payable in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, (c) to pay the related transaction fees and expenses and (d)

in certain cases, for general corporate purposes, subject in each case to the customary conditions set forth in such credit agreements. We may also issue senior notes in connection with the Merger. Our increased level of debt and the covenants to which we will agree in connection with the debt financing could have negative consequences on us, including, among other things, (1) requiring us to dedicate a larger portion of our cash flow from operations to servicing and repayment of the debt, (2) reducing funds available for strategic initiatives and opportunities, working capital and other general corporate needs and (3) limiting our ability to incur certain kinds or amounts of additional indebtedness, which could restrict our flexibility to react to changes in our business, our industry and economic conditions.

Holders of our common stock will have a reduced ownership percentage and voting interest in the combined company after the Merger and may exercise less influence over management.
Holders of our common stock currently have the right to vote in the election of the board of directors and on other matters affecting us. Following the completion of the Merger, the former holders of TSYS common stock are estimated to own approximately forty-eight percent (48%) of the fully diluted shares of the combined company immediately after the Merger and current holders of our common stock as a group are estimated to own approximately fifty-two percent (52%) of the fully diluted shares of the combined company immediately after the Merger. Because of this, holders of our common stock may have less influence on the management and policies of the combined company than they now have on the management and policies of us.

Issuance of shares of our common stock in connection with the Merger may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
In connection with the payment of the Merger consideration, we expect to issue approximately 143.4 million shares of common stock to TSYS shareholders. The issuance of these new shares of our common stock may result in fluctuations in the market price our common stock, including a stock price decrease.
