THE WESTERN UNION COMPANY

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Business and Basis of Presentation

The Western Union Company ("Western Union" or the "Company") is a leader in global money movement and payment services, providing people and businesses with fast, reliable, and convenient ways to send money and make payments around the world. The Western Union^® brand is globally recognized. The ~~Company's~~Company’s services are ~~primarily~~ available through a network of agent locations in more than 200 countries and ~~territories.~~territories and also through money transfer transactions conducted and funded through websites and mobile applications marketed under the Company’s brands (“westernunion.com”) and transactions initiated on websites and mobile applications hosted by the Company’s third-party white label or co-branded digital partners (together with westernunion.com, “Digital Money Transfer”). Each location in the ~~Company's~~Company’s agent network is capable of providing one or more of the ~~Company's~~Company’s services.

Leadership and organizational structure changes within the Company have impacted how its Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) manages the Company, resulting in changes to its operating and reportable segments in the second quarter of 2017. Prior to these changes, the Company had organized its business into the following operating segments: Consumer-to-Consumer, Consumer-to-Business, and Business Solutions. As a result of these leadership and organizational structure changes, the components of the historical Consumer-to-Business operating segment have been divided between two executives, with the majority of the Company's cash-based bill payments services under one executive and the majority of the Company's electronic-based bill payments services under the other executive.

The CODM allocates resources and assesses performance using discrete information for these separate components, neither of which is material from either a quantitative or qualitative perspective. Accordingly, the Company no longer reports a separate Consumer-to-Business operating segment, and no new reportable segments result from the impact of these changes. The cash-based and electronic-based bill payments services are therefore included in "Other."

~~Beginning in the second quarter of 2017, the~~ Western Union business consists of the following segments:

Consumer-to-Consumer - The Consumer-to-Consumer operating segment facilitates money transfers ~~between two consumers, primarily~~which are sent from retail agent locations worldwide or through ~~a network of third-party agents.~~websites and mobile devices, including Digital Money Transfer services. The ~~Company's multi-currency~~Company’s money transfer service is ~~viewed by the Company as~~provided through one interconnected global ~~network where a money transfer can be sent from one location to another, around the world.~~network. This service is available for international cross-border transfers and, in certain countries, intra-country transfers. ~~This segment also includes money transfer transactions that can be initiated through websites and mobile devices.~~

Business Solutions - The Business Solutions operating segment facilitates payment and foreign exchange solutions, primarily cross-border, cross-currency transactions, for small and medium size enterprises, and other organizations and individuals. The majority of the ~~segment's~~Business Solutions business relates to exchanges of currency at spot rates, which enable customers to make cross-currency payments. In addition, in certain countries, the Company writes foreign currency forward and option contracts for customers to facilitate future payments. On August 4, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its Business Solutions business to Goldfinch Partners LLC and The Baupost Group LLC. The sale will be completed in two closings, the first of which occurred on March 1, 2022, with the second expected in the fourth quarter of 2022. See Note 4 for further information regarding this transaction.

All businesses and other services that have not been classified in the above segments are reported as ~~"Other,"~~Other, which ~~as noted above,~~ primarily includes the ~~Company's electronic-based and cash-based~~Company’s bill payment services which facilitate ~~bill~~ payments from consumers to businesses and other organizations and ~~which were previously reported in~~ the ~~historical Consumer-to-Business operating segment, and~~Company’s money order services. Certain of the Company's ~~money order and other services, in addition~~corporate costs such as costs related to strategic initiatives, including costs for the review and closing of ~~acquisitions.~~mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures, are also included in Other. See Note 1314 for further information regarding the ~~Company's~~Company’s segments.

There are legal or regulatory limitations on transferring certain assets of the Company outside of the countries where these assets are located. However, there are generally no limitations on the use of these assets within those countries. Additionally, the Company must meet minimum capital requirements in some countries in order to maintain operating licenses. As of December 31, ~~2016,~~2021, the ~~amount of~~Company's restricted net assets associated with these ~~net~~ asset limitations and minimum capital requirements totaled approximately ~~$320 million, and there have been no material changes to these limitations subsequent to that date.~~

$460 million.

Various aspects of the ~~Company's~~Company’s services and businesses are subject to United States federal, state, and local regulation, as well as regulation by foreign jurisdictions, including certain banking and other financial services regulations.

and footnote disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this quarterly report are presented on a consolidated basis and include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries. Results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts ~~were~~have been eliminated as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017~~2022 and December 31, ~~2016~~2021 and for all periods presented. Beginning in the first quarter of 2017, the Company has reported total "Revenues" in its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for all periods presented and no longer presents the subcaptions previously reported, including "Transaction fees," "Foreign exchange revenues," and "Other revenues."

In the opinion of management, these condensed consolidated financial statements include all the normal recurring adjustments necessary to fairly present the ~~Company's~~Company’s condensed consolidated results of operations, financial position, and cash flows as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017~~2022 and for all periods presented. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the ~~Company's~~Company’s consolidated financial statements within the ~~Company's~~Company’s Annual Report on Form ~~10-K~~10‑K for the year ended December 31, ~~2016.~~

2021.

Consistent with industry practice, the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets are unclassified due to the short-term nature of the ~~Company's~~Company’s settlement obligations contrasted with the ~~Company's~~Company’s ability to invest cash awaiting settlement in long-term investment securities.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

~~Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements~~

~~On January 1, 2017,~~

Cash Flow Classification Revision

Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company ~~adopted~~revised its presentation to include changes in settlement cash associated with settlement obligations as a financing activity and changes in settlement cash from purchases, sales, and maturities of settlement investments as an ~~accounting pronouncement related~~investing activity within its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Previously, the changes in settlement assets and settlement obligations were presented on a net basis within operating activities in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Prior period amounts have been revised to ~~share-based payments~~conform to ~~employees. This standard requires all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies~~this presentation. These changes in presentation have been concluded to be recognized as income tax expense (benefit) in the income statement and that excess tax benefits be included as an operating activity for the cash flow statement. In addition, these tax benefits must be removed from the dilutive weighted-average shares outstanding calculation as these assumed proceeds will have already been recognized in the income statement. The Company will continue its current practice of estimating forfeitures when calculating compensation expense. The adoption of this standard did not have a materialimmaterial, having no impact on the ~~Company's~~Company’s previously reported net income, financial position, or cash flows from operating activities, as changes in the Company’s settlement assets exactly offset changes in its settlement obligations. However, the revised presentation shows all changes associated with settlement cash in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows instead of in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company’s revenues are primarily derived from consideration paid by customers to transfer money. These revenues vary by transaction based upon factors such as channel, send and receive locations, the principal amount sent, whether the money transfer involves different send and receive currencies, the difference between the exchange rate set by the Company to the customer and the rate available in the wholesale foreign exchange market, and speed of service, as applicable. The Company also offers several other services, including foreign exchange and payment services and other bill payment services, for which revenue is impacted by similar factors. For the substantial majority of the Company’s revenues, the Company acts as the principal in transactions and reports revenue on a gross basis, as the Company controls the service at all times prior to transfer to the customer, is primarily responsible for fulfilling the customer contracts, has the risk of loss, and has the ability to establish transaction prices. The Company also provides services to financial institutions and other third parties to enable such entities to offer money transfer services to their own customers under their brands. Generally, in these arrangements, consumers agree to terms and conditions specified by the financial institution or other third party that, among other things, establish pricing paid by the consumer for the service. The Company recognizes revenue on a net basis under these arrangements. Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.

~~Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted~~

to customers were also immaterial as of the periods presented, as the Company typically receives payment of consideration from its customers prior to satisfying performance obligations under the customer contracts. In ~~May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new accounting pronouncement regarding~~addition to revenue generated from contracts with customers, ~~which~~ the Company ~~is required~~recognizes revenue from other sources, including the sale of derivative financial instruments and investment income generated on settlement assets primarily related to ~~adopt on January 1, 2018. This new standard, along with subsequent amendments, provides guidance on recognizing revenue, including a five-step model~~money transfer and money order services.

The Company analyzes its different services individually to determine ~~when~~the appropriate basis for revenue recognition, ~~is appropriate.~~as further described below. Revenues from consumer money transfers are included in the Company’s Consumer-to- Consumer segment, revenues from foreign exchange and payment services are included in the Company’s Business Solutions segment, and revenues from consumer bill payment and other services are not included in the Company’s segments and are reported as Other. See Note 14 for further information on the Company’s segments. On August 4, 2021,

the Company entered into an agreement to sell its Business Solutions business to Goldfinch Partners LLC and The ~~standard requires that an entity recognizes revenue~~Baupost Group LLC. The sale will be completed in two closings, the first of which occurred on March 1, 2022, with the second expected in the fourth quarter of 2022. See Note 4 for further information regarding this transaction.

Consumer Money Transfers

For the Company’s money transfer services, customers agree to ~~depict~~ the ~~transfer~~Company’s terms and conditions at the time of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Based on management's analysis of the new standard, for the significant majority of the Company's revenues,initiating a transaction. In a money transfer, the Company has an1 performance obligation as the customer engages the Company to perform ~~one~~1 integrated service ~~for the customer -~~which typically occurs within minutes — collect the ~~consumer's~~customer’s money and make funds available for payment ~~generally on the same day,~~ to a designated ~~recipient~~person in the currency requested. ~~Accordingly, management~~Therefore, the Company recognizes revenue upon completion of the following: (i) the customer’s acknowledgment of the Company’s terms and conditions and payment information has ~~determined that~~been received by the ~~adoption~~Company, (ii) the Company has agreed to process the money transfer, (iii) the Company has provided the customer a unique transaction identification number, and (iv) funds are available to be picked up by the customer’s designated receiving party. The transaction price is comprised of ~~this standard will not have~~ a ~~material impact~~transaction fee and the difference between the exchange rate set by the Company to the customer and the rate available in the wholesale foreign exchange market, as applicable, both of which are readily determinable at the time the transaction is initiated.

Foreign Exchange and Payment Services

For the Company’s foreign exchange and payment services, customers agree to terms and conditions for all transactions, either at the time of initiating a transaction or signing a contract with the Company to provide payment services on the ~~Company's financial position~~customer’s behalf. In the majority of the Company’s foreign exchange and ~~results~~payment services, the Company makes payments to the recipient to satisfy its performance obligation to the customer, and therefore, the Company recognizes revenue on foreign exchange and payment services when this performance obligation has been fulfilled. Revenues from foreign exchange and payment services are primarily comprised of ~~operations.~~ the difference between the exchange rate set by the Company to the customer and the rate available in the wholesale foreign exchange market.

~~In January 2016,~~

Management has determined that the ~~Financial Accounting Standards Board issued~~substantial majority of the Company’s revenue is recognized at a ~~new accounting pronouncement regarding classification~~point in time. The following tables represent the disaggregation of revenue earned from contracts with customers by product type and ~~measurement~~region for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 (in millions). The regional split of ~~financial instruments. This new standard provides guidance on how entities measure certain equity investments and present changes~~revenue shown in the fair value. This standard requires that entities measure certain equity investments that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted for under the equity method at fair value and recognize any changes in fair value in net income. The Company is required to adopt the new standard on January 1, 2018. Management believes that the adoption of this standard will not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or related disclosures.

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new accounting pronouncement regarding the financial reporting of leasing transactions. This new standard requires a lessee to record assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations arising from leases with terms of more than 12 months. The Company is required to adopt the new standard on January 1, 2019 using a modified retrospective approach. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact that the adoption of this standard will have on the Company's financial position, results of operations, and related disclosures.

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new accounting pronouncement regarding credit losses for financial instruments. The new standard requires entities to measure expected credit losses for certain financial assets held at the reporting date using a current expected credit loss model, whichtables below is based on historical experience, adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The Company is required to adopt the new standard on January 1, 2020. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact that the adoption of this standard will have on the Company's financial position, results of operations, and related disclosures.

In October 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new accounting pronouncement regarding certain intra-entity asset transfers, requiring that an entity recognize any income tax consequences when the transfer occurs. The Company is required to adopt the new standard on January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted. Management believes that the adoption of this standard will not have a material impact on the Company's financial position and results of operations.

In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new accounting pronouncement to simplify the method of measuring a goodwill impairment charge in the event a reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value. In those circumstances, the new standard requires the Company to recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value. While management cannot predict if or when such an impairment charge may occur, or the amount of any potential impairment, management believes that this standard could result in lower impairment charges for the Company. The Company is required to adopt the new standard on January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact that the adoption of this standard will have on the Company's financial position and results of operations.

In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new accounting pronouncement to require the service cost component of defined benefit plan pension cost to be included in the same line item as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by relevant employees, with the other non-service cost components of this net benefit cost presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component, outside a subtotal of income from operations. The Company's defined benefit pension plan is frozen, thus thereupon where transactions are no related service costs. The Company currently records the non-service costs of the defined benefit pension plan in the "Cost of services" line item of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, whereas the Company expects to record these costs in the "Other income/(expense), net" line item upon adoption of the standard. The Company expects to adopt the new standard on January 1, 2018, with retrospective presentation. Management does not believe that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on the Company's results of operations or related disclosures.

In August 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new accounting pronouncement to improve the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better portray the economic results of an entity's risk management activities in its financial statements by making certain targeted improvements to simplify the application of the hedge accounting guidance in current GAAP, including through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and presentation of hedge results. The Company is required to adopt the new standard on January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact that the adoption of this standard will have on the Company's financial position and results of operations.

The calculation of basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Outstanding options to purchase Western Union stock and unvested shares of restricted stock are excluded from basic shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if outstanding stock options at the presented dates are exercised and shares of restricted stock have vested, using the treasury stock method. The treasury stock method assumes proceeds from the exercise price of stock options and the unamortized compensation expense of options and restricted stock are available to acquire shares at an average market price throughout the period, and therefore, reduce the dilutive effect.

~~For~~

Shares excluded from the ~~three months ended September 30, 2017~~diluted earnings per share calculation under the treasury stock method, primarily due to outstanding restricted stock units and ~~2016, there were 3.3 million and 2.4 million, respectively, of outstanding~~ options to purchase shares of Western Union stock, ~~excluded from~~as the ~~diluted earnings~~assumed proceeds of the restricted stock and options per unit were above the Company’s average share ~~calculation, as~~price during the periods and their effect was ~~anti-dilutive.

The ~~following table presents~~first closing excluded the ~~above expenses~~operations in the European Union and the United Kingdom and resulted in a gain of $151.4 million.In connection with the first closing, the Company reclassified $17.8 million of currency translation gains previously included within Accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”) as a component of Gain on divestiture of business in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. As of June 30, 2022, the Company has agreed to and paid final working capital adjustments to the Buyer and has classified the proceeds allocated to the European Union and United Kingdom operations of approximately $390 million within Other liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

During the period between the closings, the Company will pay to the Buyer a measure of profit of the European Union and United Kingdom operations, adjusted for the occupancy charges for employees of the Buyer using Company facilities and other items, as contractually agreed, which was $8.1 million and $10.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and was included in Other income/(expense), net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The related income tax expense on this income is also passed to the Buyer.

5. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value, as defined by the relevant accounting standards, represents the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. For additional information on how the Company measures fair value, refer to the ~~Company's~~Company’s consolidated financial statements within the ~~Company's~~Company’s Annual Report on Form ~~10-K~~10‑K for the year ended December 31, ~~2016.~~

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company entered into reverse repurchase agreements, a form of secured lending, with broker-dealer affiliates of large U.S. banks, using a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Company's Business Solutions business. These agreements require the counterparties to pledge marketable securities with a value greater than the amount of cash transferred as collateral, which is held and valued by a third-party custodial bank. These investments generate interest income through the date of repurchase, at which point the purchase price together with the interest due will be paid back to the Company. The Company carries these investments at amortized cost, and as of June 30, 2022, the carrying value of these investments, as reported in Other assets in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, was $400.0 million, which approximates fair value due to the creditworthiness of the counterparties, the value of the collateral, and the investments' short-term nature and variable interest rate.

Letters of Credit and Bank Guarantees

The Company had approximately $~~210~~340 million in outstanding letters of credit and bank guarantees as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017~~ ~~that are~~2022, which were primarily held in connection with safeguarding consumer funds, lease arrangements, and certain agent agreements. The ~~letters of credit and bank guarantees have expiration dates through~~ ~~2021, with many having a one-year renewal option. The~~ Company expects to renew ~~the~~most of its letters of credit and bank guarantees prior to ~~expiration in most circumstances.~~

expiration.

Litigation and Related Contingencies

The Company is subject to certain claims and litigation that could result in losses, including damages, fines, and/or civil penalties, which could be significant, and in some cases, criminal charges. The Company regularly evaluates the status of legal matters to assess whether a loss is probable and reasonably estimable in determining whether an accrual is appropriate. Furthermore, in determining whether disclosure is appropriate, the Company evaluates each legal matter to assess if there is at least a reasonable possibility that a material loss or additional ~~loss~~material losses may have been ~~incurred and~~incurred. The Company also evaluates whether an estimate of possible loss or range of loss can be made. Unless otherwise specified below, the Company believes that there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss or additional loss may have been incurred for each of the matters described below.

For those matters that the Company believes there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss or additional loss may have been incurred and can reasonably estimate the loss or potential loss, the reasonably possible potential litigation losses in excess of the Company’s recorded liability for probable and estimable losses was approximately ~~$165~~$30 million as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017.~~2022. For the remaining matters, management is unable to provide a meaningful estimate of the possible loss or range of loss because, among other reasons: ~~(a)~~(i) the proceedings are in preliminary stages; ~~(b)~~(ii) specific damages have not been sought; ~~(c)~~(iii) damage claims are unsupported and/or unreasonable; ~~(d)~~(iv) there is uncertainty as to the outcome of pending appeals or motions; ~~(e)~~(v) there are significant factual issues to be resolved; or ~~(f)~~(vi) novel legal issues or unsettled legal theories are being asserted.

The outcomes of legal actions are unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties, and it is inherently difficult to determine whether any loss is probable or even possible. It is also inherently difficult to estimate the amount of any loss and there may be matters for which a loss is probable or reasonably possible but not currently estimable. Accordingly, actual losses may be in excess of the established liability or the range of reasonably possible loss.

Legal Matters

In late November 2016, the Company entered into discussions with the United States Department of Justice (the “DOJ”), the United States Attorney's Office for the Central District of California ("USAO-CDCA"), the United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania ("USAO-EDPA"), the United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania ("USAO-MDPA"), and the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida (“USAO-SDFL”) to resolve the investigations by the USAO-CDCA, USAO-EDPA, USAO-MDPA, and USAO-SDFL (collectively, the “USAOs”) (collectively, the “USAO Investigations”). On January 19, 2017, the Company announced that it, or its subsidiary Western Union Financial Services, Inc. (“WUFSI”), had entered into (1) a Deferred Prosecution Agreement (the “DPA”) with the DOJ and the USAOs; (2) a Stipulated Order for Permanent Injunction and Final Judgment (the “Consent Order”) with the United States Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) resolving claims by the FTC alleging unfair acts and practices under the Federal Trade Commission Act and for violations of the FTC Telemarketing Sales Rule; and (3) a Consent to the Assessment ofOctober 2015, Consumidores Financieros Asociación Civil Money Penalty with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (“FinCEN”) of the United States Department of Treasury (the “FinCEN Agreement”), to resolve the respective investigations of those agencies. FinCEN provided notice to the Company dated December 16, 2016 of its investigation regarding possible violations of the United States Bank Secrecy Act ("BSA"). On January 31, 2017, the Company entered into assurances of discontinuance/assurances of voluntary compliance with the attorneys general of 49 U.S. states and the District of Columbia named therein to resolve investigations by the state attorneys general, which sought information and documents relating to money transfers sent from the United States to certain countries,para su Defensa, an Argentinian consumer fraud complaints that the Company had received and the Company's procedures to help identify and prevent fraudulent transfers. On April 12, 2017, the Company settled with the one remaining state attorney general under effectively the same terms as the January 31, 2017 agreement with no additional monetary payment required. The agreements with the state attorneys general are collectively referred to herein as the "State AG Agreement." The DPA, Consent Order, FinCEN Agreement, and State AG Agreement are collectively referred to herein as the "Joint Settlement Agreements."

Pursuant to the DPA, the USAOs filed a two-count criminal information in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, charging the Company with aiding and abetting wire fraud and willfully failing to implement an effective anti-money laundering ("AML") program. The USAOs agreed that if the Company fully complies with all of its obligations under the DPA, the USAOs will, at the conclusion of the DPA’s term, seek dismissal with prejudice of the criminal information filed against the Company.

Under the Joint Settlement Agreements, the Company was required to (1) pay an aggregate amount of $586 million to the DOJ to be used to reimburse consumers who were the victims of third-party fraud conducted through the Company’s money transfer services (the “Compensation Payment”), (2) pay an aggregate amount of $5 million to the State Attorneys General to reimburse investigative, enforcement, and other costs, and (3) retain an independent compliance auditor for three years to review and assess actions taken by the Company under the Consent Order to further enhance its oversight of agents and protection of consumers. The FinCEN Agreement also set forth a civil penalty of $184 million, the full amount of which was deemed satisfied by the Compensation Payment, without any additional payment or non-monetary obligations. No separate payment to the FTC was required under the Joint Settlement Agreements. The Company paid the Compensation Payment and the aggregate amount due to the State Attorneys General during the first half of 2017. The Company had accrued the Compensation Payment and the aggregate amount due to the State Attorneys General in "Accounts payable and accrued liabilities" in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2016. In the second quarter of 2017, pursuant to the terms of the Joint Settlement Agreements, the Company engaged an independent compliance auditor, and during the three months ended September 30, 2017, the Company accrued an additional $8 million of expenses related to the independent compliance auditor.

The Joint Settlement Agreements also require, among other things, the Company to adopt certain new or enhanced practices with respect to its compliance program relating to consumer reimbursement, agent due diligence, agent training, monitoring, reporting, and record-keeping by the Company and its agents, consumer fraud disclosures, agent suspensions and terminations, and other items. The changes in the Company’s compliance program required by the Joint Settlement Agreements will have adverse effects on the Company’s business, including additional costs and potential loss of business. The Company could also face actions from other regulators as a result of the Joint Settlement Agreements. In addition, if the Company fails to comply with the Joint Settlement Agreements, it could face criminal prosecution, civil litigation, significant fines, damage awards or other regulatory consequences. Any or all of these outcomes could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

~~Shareholder Derivative Actions~~

On January 13, 2014, Natalie Gordon served the Company with a Verified Shareholder Derivative Complaint and Jury Demand that was filed in District Court, Douglas County, Colorado naming the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, one of its former executive officers, one of its former directors, and all but one of its current directors as individual defendants, and the Company as a nominal defendant. The complaint asserts claims for breach of fiduciary duty and gross mismanagement against all of the individual defendants and unjust enrichment against the President and Chief Executive Officer and the former executive officer based on allegations that between February 12, 2012 to October 30, 2012, the individual defendants made or caused the Company to issue false and misleading statements or failed to make adequate disclosures regarding the effects of a settlement agreement signed on February 11, 2010 between WUFSI and the State of Arizona regarding WUFSI's AML compliance programs along the United States and Mexico border ("Southwest Border Agreement"), including regarding the anticipated costs of compliance with the Southwest Border Agreement, potential effects on business operations, and Company projections. Plaintiff also alleges that the individual defendants caused or allowed the Company to lack requisite internal controls, caused or allowed financial statements to be misstated, and caused the Company to be subject to the costs, expenses and liabilities associated with ~~City of Taylor Police and Fire Retirement System v. The Western Union Company, et al.,~~ a lawsuit that was subsequently renamed and dismissed. Plaintiff further alleges that the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer and the former executive officer received excessive compensation based on the allegedly inaccurate financial statements. On March 12, 2014, the Court entered an order granting the parties' joint motion to stay proceedings in the case during the pendency of certain of the shareholder derivative actions described below.

In 2014, Stanley Lieblein, R. Andre Klein, City of Cambridge Retirement System, Mayar Fund Ltd, Louisiana Municipal Police Employees' Retirement System, MARTA/ATU Local 732 Employees Retirement Plan, and The Police Retirement System of St. Louis filed shareholder derivative complaints in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado (or were removed to the United States District Court for the District of Colorado) naming the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer and certain current and former directors and a former executive officer as individual defendants, and the Company as a nominal defendant. On January 5, 2015, the court entered an order consolidating the actions and appointing City of Cambridge Retirement System and MARTA/ATU Local 732 Employees Retirement Plan as co-lead plaintiffs. On February 4, 2015, co-lead plaintiffs filed a verified consolidated shareholder derivative complaint naming the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, two of its former executive officers and all but two of its current directors as individual defendants, and the Company as a nominal defendant. The consolidated complaint asserts separate claims for breach of fiduciary duty against the director defendants and the officer defendants, claims against all of the individual defendants for violations of section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act"), corporate waste and unjust enrichment, and a claim against the former executive officer for breach of fiduciary duties for insider selling and misappropriation of information. The breach of fiduciary duty claim against the director defendants includes allegations that they declined to implement an effective AML compliance system after receiving numerous red flags indicating prolonged willful illegality, obstructed the efforts of the monitor assigned to the Company pursuant to the Southwest Border Agreement to impose effective compliance systems on the Company, failed to take action in response to alleged Western Union management efforts to undermine the monitor, reappointed the same directors to the Audit Committee and Corporate Governance and Public Policy Committees constituting a majority of those committees between 2006 and 2014, appointed a majority of directors to the Compliance Committee who were directly involved in overseeing the alleged misconduct as members of the Audit Committee and the Corporate Governance and Public Policy Committee, caused the Company to materially breach the Southwest Border Agreement, caused the Company to repurchase its stock at artificially inflated prices, awarded the Company’s senior executives excessive compensation despite their responsibility for the Company’s alleged willful non-compliance with state and federal AML laws, and failed to prevent the former executive officer from misappropriating and profiting from nonpublic information when making allegedly unlawful stock sales. The breach of fiduciary duty claim against the officer defendants includes allegations that they caused the Company and allowed its agents to ignore the recording and reporting requirements of the BSA and parallel AML laws and regulations for a prolonged period of time, authorized and implemented AML policies and practices that they knew or should have known to be inadequate, caused the Company to fail to comply with the Southwest Border Agreement and refused to implement and maintain adequate internal controls. The claim for violations of section 14(a) of the Exchange Act includes allegations that the individual defendants caused the Company to issue proxy statements in 2012, 2013 and 2014 containing materially incomplete and inaccurate disclosures - in particular, by failing to disclose the extent to which the Company’s financial results depended on the non-compliance with AML requirements, the Board’s awareness of the regulatory and criminal enforcement actions in real time pursuant to the 2003 Consent Agreement with the California Department of Financial Institutions and that the directors were not curing violations and preventing misconduct, the extent to which the Board considered the flood of increasingly severe red flags in their determination to re-nominate certain directors to the Audit Committee between 2006 and 2010, and the extent to which the Board considered ongoing regulatory and criminal investigations in awarding multi-million dollar compensation packages to senior executives. The corporate waste claim includes allegations that the individual defendants paid or approved the payment of undeserved executive and director compensation based on the illegal conduct alleged in the consolidated complaint, which exposed the Company to civil liabilities and fines. The corporate waste claim also includes allegations that the individual defendants made improper statements and omissions, which forced the Company to expend resources in defending itself in ~~City of Taylor Police and Fire Retirement System v. The Western Union Company, et al.~~, a lawsuit that was subsequently renamed and dismissed, authorized the repurchase of over $1.565 billion of the Company’s stock at prices they knew or recklessly were aware, were artificially inflated, failed to maintain sufficient internal controls over the Company’s marketing and sales process, failed to consider the interests of the Company and its shareholders, and failed to conduct the proper supervision. The claim for unjust enrichment includes allegations that the individual defendants derived compensation, fees and other benefits from the Company and were otherwise unjustly enriched by their wrongful acts and omissions in managing the Company. The claim for breach of fiduciary duties for insider selling and misappropriation of information includes allegations that the former executive sold Company stock while knowing material, nonpublic information that would have significantly reduced the market price of the stock. On March 16, 2015, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the consolidated complaint. On March 31, 2016, the Court entered an order granting the defendants’ collective motion to dismiss without prejudice, denying as moot a separate motion to dismiss that was filed by the former executive officer, and staying the order for 30 days, within which plaintiffs could file an amended complaint that cured the defects noted in the order. On May 2, 2016, co-lead plaintiffs filed a verified amended consolidated shareholder derivative complaint naming the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, eight of its current directors (including the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, who also serves as a director) and one of its former directors as individual defendants, and the Company as a nominal defendant. The amended complaint, among other things, drops the claims against the former executive officer named in the prior complaint, realleges and narrows the breach of fiduciary duty claims, and drops the

remaining claims. On June 15, 2016, defendants filed a motion to dismiss the amended consolidated shareholder derivative complaint. On August 1, 2016, plaintiffs filed an opposition to the motion to dismiss. On September 1, 2016, defendants filed a reply brief in support of the motion to dismiss. On February 24, 2017, plaintiffs filed a motion to supplement the amended complaint with allegations relating to the DPA, the criminal information filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, and the FTC’s January 19, 2017 Complaint for Permanent Injunctive and Other Equitable Relief and the Consent Order referenced in the ~~United States Department of Justice, Federal Trade Commission, Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, and State Attorneys General Settlements~~ section above. The same day, the Court granted plaintiffs’ request to supplement the complaint, ordered them to file a second amended complaint, denied without prejudice defendants’ motion to dismiss and granted defendants leave to renew the motion to dismiss. On March 17, 2017, plaintiffs filed a second amended derivative complaint. On April 21, 2017, defendants filed a motion to dismiss the second amended derivative complaint. On June 9, 2017, plaintiffs filed an opposition to defendants’ motion to dismiss the second amended derivative complaint. On July 14, 2017, defendants filed a reply in support of the motion to dismiss. On September 29, 2017, the Court granted defendants’ motion to dismiss the second amended derivative complaint. On October 25, 2017, plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal.

Due to the stage of the actions described above under "Shareholder Derivative Actions," the Company is unable to predict the outcome, or reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of loss, if any, which could be associated with these actions. The Company and the named individuals intend to vigorously defend themselves in all of these matters.

The Company and one of its subsidiaries are defendants in two purported class action lawsuits: James P. Tennille v. The Western Union Company and Robert P. Smet v. The Western Union Company, both of which are pending in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado. The original complaints asserted claims for violation of various consumer protection laws, unjust enrichment, conversion and declaratory relief, based on allegations that the Company waits too long to inform consumers if their money transfers are not redeemed by the recipients and that the Company uses the unredeemed funds to generate income until the funds are escheated to state governments. The Tennille complaint was served on the Company on April 27, 2009. The Smet complaint was served on the Company on April 6, 2010. On September 21, 2009, the Court granted the Company's motion to dismiss the Tennille complaint and gave the plaintiff leave to file an amended complaint. On October 21, 2009, Tennille filed an amended complaint. The Company moved to dismiss the Tennille amended complaint and the Smet complaint. On November 8, 2010, the Court denied the motion to dismiss as to the plaintiffs' unjust enrichment and conversion claims. On February 4, 2011, the Court dismissed the plaintiffs' consumer protection claims. On March 11, 2011, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint that adds a claim for breach of fiduciary duty, various elements to its declaratory relief claim and WUFSI as a defendant. On April 25, 2011, the Company and WUFSI filed a motion to dismiss the breach of fiduciary duty and declaratory relief claims. WUFSI also moved to compel arbitration of the plaintiffs' claims and to stay the action pending arbitration. On November 21, 2011, the Court denied the motion to compel arbitration and the stay request. Both companies appealed the decision. On January 24, 2012, the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit granted the companies' request to stay the District Court proceedings pending their appeal. During the fourth quarter of 2012, the parties executed a settlement agreement, which the Court preliminarily approved on January 3, 2013. On June 25, 2013, the Court entered an order certifying the class and granting final approval to the settlement. Under the approved settlement, a substantial amount of the settlement proceeds, as well as all of the class counsel’s fees, administrative fees and other expenses, would be paid from the class members' unclaimed money transfer funds. During the final approval hearing, the Court overruled objections to the settlement that had been filed by several class members. In July 2013, two of those class members filed notices of appeal. On May 1, 2015, the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit affirmed the District Court’s decision to overrule the objections filed by the two class members who appealed. On January 11, 2016, the United States Supreme Court denied petitions for certiorari that were filed by the two class members who appealed. On February 1, 2016, pursuant to the settlement agreement and the Court's June 25, 2013 final approval order, Western Union deposited the class members' unclaimed money transfer funds into a class settlement fund, from which class member claims, administrative fees and class counsel’s fees, as well as other expenses are being paid. On November 6, 2013, the Attorney General of California notified Western Union of the California Controller’s position that Western Union’s deposit of the unclaimed money transfer funds into the class settlement fund pursuant to the settlement “will not satisfy Western Union’s obligations to report and remit funds” under California’s unclaimed property law, and that “Western Union will remain liable to the State of California” for the funds that would have escheated to California in the absence of the settlement. The State of Pennsylvania and District of Columbia have previously expressed similar views. Other states have also expressed concerns about the settlement and many have not yet expressed an opinion. Since some states and jurisdictions believe that the Company must escheat its full share of the settlement fund and that the deductions for class counsel's fees, administrative costs, and other expenses that are required under the settlement agreement are not permitted, there is a reasonable possibility a loss could result up to approximately the amount of those fees and other expenses.

On March 12, 2014, Jason Douglas filed a purported class action complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois asserting a claim under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, 47 U.S.C. § 227, et seq., based on allegations that since 2009, the Company has sent text messages to class members’ wireless telephones without their consent. During the first quarter of 2015, the Company's insurance carrier and the plaintiff reached an agreement to create an $8.5 million settlement fund that will be used to pay all class member claims, class counsel’s fees and the costs of administering the settlement. The agreement has been signed by the parties and, on November 10, 2015, the Court granted preliminary approval to the settlement. The Company accrued an amount equal to the retention under its insurance policy in previous quarters and believes that any amounts in excess of this accrual will be covered by the insurer. However, if the Company's insurer is unable to or refuses to satisfy its obligations under the policy or the parties are unable to reach a definitive agreement or otherwise agree on a resolution, the Company's financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows could be adversely impacted. As the parties have reached an agreement in this matter, the Company believes that the potential for additional loss in excess of amounts already accrued is remote.

On December 18, 2015, Speedpay filed an answer to the second amended complaint. On May 20, 2016, Speedpay filed a motion for judgment on the pleadings as to Pincus' Florida Civil Remedies for Criminal Practices Act and federal RICO claims. On June 7, 2016, Pincus filed an opposition to Speedpay's motion for judgment on the pleadings. On June 17, 2016, Speedpay filed a reply brief in support of the motion. On October 28, 2016, Pincus filed a motion seeking class certification. The motion seeks the certification of a class consisting of “All (i) persons in Florida (ii) who paid Speedpay, Inc. a fee for using Speedpay, Inc.’s electronic payment services (iii) during the five-year period prior to the filing of the complaint in this action through the present.” Pincus also filed a motion to file her motion under seal. On November 4, 2016, the Court denied Pincus’ motion for class certification without prejudice and motion to seal and ordered her to file a new motion that redacts proprietary and private information. Later that day, Pincus filed a redacted version of the motion. On November 7, 2016, Speedpay filed a motion for summary judgment on Pincus’ remaining claims. On December 15, 2016, Speedpay filed an opposition to Pincus’ class certification motion. The same day, Pincus filed an opposition to Speedpay’s summary judgment motion and requested summary judgment on her individual and class claims.

The writ also names WUPSIL as a civil defendant, allegedly responsible under Spanish law to pay any portion of the alleged amount in victim losses that cannot be repaid by any of the criminal defendants who are convicted. The Company expects that WUPSIL will be required to guarantee or provide security to cover the alleged victim losses plus potential interest and other costs. Due to the preliminary stage of this matter, the Company is unable to predict the outcome, or the amount of loss, if any, associated with this matter.

On March 31, 2017, the Company received a request for the production of documents from the NYDFS, following up on a meeting the Company had with the NYDFS on March 7, 2017. The requests pertain to the Company’s oversight of one current and two former Western Union agents located in New York state. The two former agents were identified in the DPA described in the United States Department of Justice, Federal Trade Commission, Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, and State Attorneys General Settlements section above, and were terminated as agents by the Company prior to 2013. The Company complied with all requests and produced all requested documents to the NYDFS. On July 28, 2017, the NYDFS informed the Company that the facts set forth in the DPA regarding the Company’s anti-money laundering programs over the 2004 through 2012 period give the NYDFS a basis to take additional enforcement action. The NYDFS proposed a resolution of the matter involving, among other things, a payment to the NYDFS. The Company is continuing to engage in discussions with the NYDFS in an effort to reach an appropriate resolution of this matter. Due to the stage and nature of the discussions, the Company has accrued $49 million toward a possible resolution of this matter ~~(the "State Regulator Matter"). However, there is no certainty that the Company will be able to resolve this matter for this amount. If the matter is~~which did not ~~settled and proceeds to civil litigation, the NYDFS would seek to impose fines, damages, or other regulatory consequences. Resolution of this matter could~~ have a material ~~adverse effect~~impact on the ~~Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flow. If the NYDFS files a complaint against the Company, the Company intends to defend itself vigorously.~~

Company.

In addition to the principal matters described above, the Company is a party to a variety of other legal matters that arise in the normal course of the ~~Company's~~Company’s business. While the results of these other legal matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the final outcome of these matters will not have a material adverse effect either individually or in the aggregate on the ~~Company's~~Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

On January 26, 2006, the First Data Corporation ("First Data") Board of Directors announced its intention to pursue the distribution of all of its money transfer and consumer payments business and its interest in a Western Union money transfer agent, as well as its related assets, including real estate, through a tax-free distribution to First Data shareholders (the "Spin-off"). The Spin-off resulted in the formation of the Company and these assets and businesses no longer being part of First Data. Pursuant to the separation and distribution agreement with First Data in connection with the Spin-off, First Data and the Company are each liable for, and agreed to perform, all liabilities with respect to their respective businesses. In addition, the separation and distribution agreement also provides for cross-indemnities principally designed to place financial responsibility for the obligations and liabilities of the Company's business with the Company and financial responsibility for the obligations and liabilities of First Data's retained businesses with First Data. The Company also entered into a tax allocation agreement ("Tax Allocation Agreement") that sets forth the rights and obligations of First Data and the Company with respect to taxes imposed on their respective businesses both prior to and after the Spin-off as well as potential tax obligations for which the Company may be liable in conjunction with the Spin-off (see Note 11).

(a)

Provision does not include losses from chargebacks or fraud associated with transactions initiated through the Company’s digital channels, as these losses are not credit-related. The Company recognized losses that were not credit-related of $10.0 million and $7.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022, respectively, and $13.7 million and $14.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, respectively.

Investment securities included in ~~"Settlement assets"~~Settlement assets in the ~~Company's~~Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets consist primarily of highly-rated state and municipal debt securities, including ~~fixed rate~~fixed-rate term notes and ~~variable rate~~variable-rate demand notes. ~~Variable rate~~Variable-rate demand note securities can be put (sold at par) typically on a daily basis with settlement periods ranging from the same day to one week but have varying maturities through ~~2050.~~2052. These securities may be used by the Company for short-term liquidity needs and held for short periods of time. Investment securities are exposed to market risk due to changes in interest rates and credit risk. The Company is required to hold highly-rated, investment grade securities and such investments are restricted to satisfy outstanding settlement obligations in accordance with applicable ~~state and foreign country~~regulatory requirements.

The ~~substantial majority of the Company's~~Company’s investment securities are classified as available-for-sale and recorded at fair value. ~~Investment securities are exposed to market risk due to changes in interest rates and credit risk.~~ Western Union regularly monitors credit risk and attempts to mitigate its exposure by investing in highly-rated securities and through investment diversification.

Unrealized gains ~~and losses~~ on available-for-sale securities are excluded from earnings and presented as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of related deferred taxes. ~~Gains~~Available-for-sale securities with a fair value below the amortized cost basis are evaluated on an individual basis to determine whether the impairment is due to credit-related factors or noncredit-related factors. Factors that could indicate a credit loss exists include but are not limited to: (i) negative earnings performance, (ii) credit rating downgrades, or (iii) adverse changes in the regulatory or economic environment of the asset. Any impairment that is not credit-related is excluded from earnings and presented as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of related deferred taxes, unless the Company intends to sell the impaired security, or it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovering its amortized cost basis. Credit-related impairments are recognized immediately as an adjustment to earnings, regardless of whether the Company has the ability or intent to hold the security to maturity and are limited to the difference between fair value and the amortized cost basis. The Company’s provision for credit losses on investments are calculated using the specific-identification method and are recognized during the period in which the investment is sold or when an investment experiences an other-than-temporary decline in value. Proceeds from the sale and maturity ofits available-for-sale securities during the ~~nine months ended September 30, 2017~~three and 2016 were $4.3 billion and $2.9 billion, respectively. The change in proceeds from the sale and maturity of available-for-sale securities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the prior period was primarily due to increased sales of variable rate demand notes securities.

22As of June 30, 2022, the Company held 390 investment securities that were in an unrealized loss position, 387 of which have a total fair value of $1,001.5 million and unrealized losses of $55.5 million and have been in a loss position for less than twelve months and 3 of which have a total fair value of $7.1 million and unrealized losses of $0.9 million and have been in a loss position for greater than twelve months. As discussed above, the Company's provision for credit losses on its investment securities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and the related allowance for credit losses as of June 30, 2022 were immaterial, as the increase in unrealized losses was driven by a rise in U.S. Treasury interest rates over the six months ended June 30, 2022. The Company does not intend to sell these securities and does not expect it will be required to sell these securities prior to recovering their amortized cost basis.

Foreign Currency Derivatives

The ~~Company's~~Company’s policy is to use ~~longer-term~~longer duration foreign currency forward contracts, with maturities of up to 36 months at inception and a targeted weighted-average maturity of approximately one year, to help mitigate some of the risk that changes in foreign currency exchange rates compared to the United States dollar could have on forecasted revenues denominated in other currencies related to its business. As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017, the Company's longer-term~~2022, these foreign currency forward contracts had maturities of a maximum of 24 months with a weighted-average maturity of approximately one ~~year.~~year. These contracts are accounted for as cash flow hedges of forecasted revenue with effectiveness assessed based on changes in the spot rate of the affected currencies during the period of ~~designation. Accordingly, all changes in~~designation and thus time value is excluded from the ~~fair~~assessment of effectiveness. The initial value of the ~~hedges not considered effective or portions of the hedge that are~~ excluded ~~from the measure of effectiveness are recognized immediately in "Derivative gains, net"~~components is amortized into Revenues within the ~~Company's~~Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

The Company also uses short duration foreign currency forward contracts, generally with maturities ranging from a few days up to one month, to offset foreign exchange rate fluctuations on settlement assets and obligations between initiation and settlement. In addition, forward contracts, typically with maturities of less than one year at inception, are utilized to offset foreign exchange rate fluctuations on certain foreign currency denominated cash and other asset and liability positions. None of these contracts are designated as accounting hedges.

Business Solutions Operations

The Company writes derivatives, primarily foreign currency forward contracts and option contracts, mostly with small and medium size enterprises and derives a currency spread from this activity as part of its Business Solutions operations. On August 4, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its Business Solutions business to Goldfinch Partners LLC and The Baupost Group LLC and completed the first closing on March 1, 2022. See Note 4 for further information regarding this transaction. The Company aggregates its Business Solutions foreign currency exposures arising from customer contracts, including the derivative contracts described above, and hedges the resulting net currency risks by entering into offsetting contracts with ~~established financial institution counterparties (economic hedge contracts).~~Convera through the end of the second closing of the Business Solutions divestiture. The derivatives written are part of the broader portfolio of foreign currency positions arising from the ~~Company's~~Company’s cross-currency payments operations, which primarily include spot exchanges of currency in addition to forwards and options. Foreign exchange revenues from the total portfolio of positions included in Revenues in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income were ~~$88.1~~$33.6 million and ~~$85.3~~$87.4 million for the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017~~2022 and ~~2016,~~2021, respectively, and ~~$257.2~~$112.2 million and ~~$264.6~~$171.9 million for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017~~2022 and ~~2016,~~2021, respectively. None of the derivative contracts used in Business Solutions operations are designated as accounting ~~hedges. The duration~~hedges and the majority of these derivative contracts have a duration at inception ~~is generally~~of less than one ~~year.~~year.

The aggregate equivalent United States dollar notional amount of ~~foreign currency~~ derivative customer contracts held by the Company in its Business Solutions operations was approximately $5.0 billion and $8.0 billion as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017~~ ~~was approximately~~ ~~$6.0 billion~~.2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The significant majority of customer contracts are written in ~~major currencies such as~~ the ~~Australian~~following currencies: the United States dollar, euro, and the British ~~pound, Canadian dollar, and euro.~~

Interest Rate Hedging

~~The~~

Periodically, the Company utilizes interest rate swaps to effectively change the interest rate payments on a portion of its notes from fixed-rate payments to short-term, ~~LIBOR-based variable rate~~variable-rate payments in order to manage its overall exposure to interest ~~rates.~~rate fluctuations. The Company designates these derivatives as fair value hedges. The change in fair value of the interest rate swaps is offset by a change in the carrying value of the debt being hedged within ~~"Borrowings"~~Borrowings in the Condensed Consolidated Balance ~~Sheets and "Interest expense"~~Sheets. Interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income has been adjusted to include the effects of interest accrued on the swaps.

The Company ~~at times, utilizes derivatives~~terminated 2 of its treasury locks in the first quarter of 2021, which were associated with the issuance of $600.0 million of aggregate principal amount of 1.350% unsecured notes due March 15, 2026 (“2026 Notes”). The Company received a total of $3.3 million upon termination, of which $2.6 million was deferred as a component of AOCL and will be amortized to ~~hedge~~Interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income over the term of the 2026 Notes.

(a)

In many circumstances, the Company allows its Business Solutions customers to settle part or all of their derivative contracts prior to maturity. However, the offsetting positions entered into with Convera do not allow for similar settlement. To mitigate this, additional foreign currency contracts are entered into with Convera to offset the original economic hedge contracts. This frequently results in changes in the Company’s derivative assets and liabilities that may not directly align with the performance in the underlying derivatives business.

The fair values of derivative assets and liabilities associated with contracts that include netting language that the Company believes to be enforceable have been netted in the following tables to present the ~~Company's~~Company’s net exposure with these counterparties. The ~~Company's~~Company’s rights under these agreements generally allow for transactions to be settled on a net basis, including upon early termination, which could occur upon the ~~counterparty's~~counterparty’s default, a change in control, or other conditions.

In addition, certain of the ~~Company's~~Company’s other agreements include netting provisions, the enforceability of which may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, ~~and~~ depending on the circumstances. Due to the uncertainty related to the enforceability of these provisions, the derivative balances associated with these agreements are included within "Derivatives that are not or may not be subject to master netting arrangement or similar agreement" in the following tables. In certain circumstances, the Company may require its Business Solutions customers to maintain collateral balances which may mitigate the risk associated with potential customer defaults.

The Company utilizes interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges to effectively change the interest rate payments on a portion of its notes from fixed-rate payments to short-term LIBOR-based variable rate payments in order to manage its overall exposure to interest rates. The changes in fair value of these interest rate swaps result in an offsetting hedge accounting adjustment recorded to the carrying value of the related note. These hedge accounting adjustments will be reclassified as reductions to or increases in "Interest expense" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income over the life of the related notes, and cause the effective rate of i~~nterest to differ from the notes’ stated rate.~~

Term Loan Facility

On December 18, 2018, the Company entered into an amended and restated term loan facility providing for up to $950.0 million in borrowings and extending the final maturity of the facility to January 2024 (the "Term Loan Facility"). Proceeds from the 2026 Notes and $300.0 million of aggregate principal amount of 2.750% unsecured notes due March 15, 2031 ("2031 Notes"), and cash, including cash generated from operations, were used to repay $650.0 million of the Term Loan Facility in the first quarter of 2021 and $500.0 million of the aggregate principal amount of 3.600% unsecured notes due in March 2022 in the second quarter of 2021. On January 4, 2022, the Company repaid all remaining borrowings owed under the Term Loan Facility for total consideration of $300.0 million, using proceeds from commercial paper and cash, including cash generated from operations. The Company is no longer able to borrow money under this facility.

On March 15, 2017, the Company issued $400.0 million of aggregate principal amount of unsecured notes due March 15, 2022. On August 22, 2017, the Company issued an additional $100.0 million of aggregate principal amount of unsecured notes due March 15, 2022. The notes issued on August 22, 2017 are part of the same series and, accordingly, have the same terms and conditions as the notes issued on March 15, 2017; however, the notes issued on August 22, 2017 were issued at a premium of 101.783% and the Company received $1.57 million of accrued interest upon issuance. Interest with respect to the 2022 Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning on September 15, 2017, based on the per annum rate of 3.600%. The interest rate payable on the 2022 Notes will be increased if the debt rating assigned to the note is downgraded by an applicable credit rating agency, beginning at a downgrade below investment grade. However, in no event will the interest rate on the 2022 Notes exceed 5.60% per annum. The interest rate payable on the 2022 Notes may also be adjusted downward for debt rating upgrades subsequent to any debt rating downgrades but may not be adjusted below 3.600% per annum. The 2022 Notes are subject to covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict the ability of the Company to sell or transfer assets or merge or consolidate with another company, and limit or restrict the Company's and certain of its subsidiaries' ability to incur certain types of security interests, or enter into sale and leaseback transactions. If a change of control triggering event occurs, holders of the 2022 Notes may require the Company to repurchase some or all of their notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of their notes, plus any accrued and unpaid interest. The Company may redeem the 2022 Notes at any time prior to February 15, 2022 at the greater of par or a price based on the applicable treasury rate plus 25 basis points. The Company may redeem the 2022 Notes at any time after February 15, 2022 at a price equal to par, plus accrued interest.

On August 22, 2017, the Company issued $250.0 million of aggregate principal amount of unsecured floating rate notes due May 22, 2019. Interest with respect to the Floating Rate Notes is payable quarterly on each February 22, May 22, August 22 and November 22, beginning November 22, 2017, at a per annum interest rate equal to the three-month LIBOR plus 80 basis points (reset quarterly). The Floating Rate Notes are subject to covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict the ability of the Company to sell or transfer assets or merge or consolidate with another company, and limit or restrict the Company's and certain of its subsidiaries' ability to incur certain types of security interests, or enter into sale and leaseback transactions. If a change of control triggering event occurs, holders of the Floating Rate Notes may require the Company to repurchase some or all of their notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of their notes, plus any accrued and unpaid interest. The Company may not redeem the Floating Rate Notes prior to maturity.

increase in the Company’s effective tax rate for the three and six months compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year was primarily due to the sale of the Company's Business Solutions business and the Company's decision to suspend its operations in Russia and Belarus. In addition, the increase in the effective tax rate for the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, 2017 compared to the prior period reflects lower tax expense arising from the related effects in the current period of the discrete tax expense recognized during the first quarter of 2017 from changes in internal ownership of certain international subsidiaries within the consolidated group and additional discrete benefits in the current period for changes in tax contingency reserves. The increase in the Company's effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 20172022 compared to the prior period was ~~due to~~partially offset by lower discrete tax expenses in the ~~State Regulator Matter accrual discussed in Note 5, for which no tax benefit is currently recorded, and the tax effects from the changes in internal ownership of certain~~current period. The sale of the Company's international subsidiaries within the consolidated group during the first quarter of 2017 described earlier, partially offset by one-time tax planning benefits. The Company currently expects that approximately 109% of the Company's pre-tax income will be derived from foreign sources for the year ending December 31, 2017. Certain portions of the Company's foreign source income are subject to United States federal and state income tax as earned due to the nature of the income, and dividend repatriations of the Company's foreign source income are generally subject to United States federal and state income tax.

~~Uncertain Tax Positions~~

The Company has established contingency reserves for a variety of material, known tax exposures. The Company's tax reserves reflect management's judgment as to the resolution of the issues involved if subject to judicial review or other settlement. While the Company believes its reserves are adequate to cover reasonably expected tax risks, there can be no assurance that, in all instances, an issue raised by a tax authority will be resolved at a financial cost that does not exceed its related reserve. With respect to these reserves, the Company's income tax expense would include (i) any changes in tax reserves arising from material changes during the period in the facts and circumstances (i.e., new information) surrounding a tax issue and (ii) any difference from the Company's tax position as recorded in the financial statements and the final resolution of a tax issue during the period. Such resolution could materially increase or decrease income tax expenseBusiness Solutions business is included in the Company's ~~consolidated financial statements in future periods and could impact operating cash flows.~~

Unrecognized tax benefits ~~represent the aggregate tax effect of differences between tax return positions and the amounts otherwise recognized in the Company's consolidated financial statements, and~~ are reflected in ~~"Income~~Income taxes ~~payable"~~payable in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017~~2022 and December 31, ~~2016~~2021 was ~~$333.9~~$371.8 million and ~~$352.0~~$376.3 million, respectively, ~~excluding~~including interest and ~~penalties, with~~penalties.

The Company’s tax filings are subject to examination by U.S. federal, state, and ~~penalties.~~

The Company recognizes interest and penalties with respect to unrecognized tax benefits in "Provision for income taxes" in its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, and records the associated liability in "Income taxes payable" in its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company recognized $(4.1) million and $0.2 million of interest and penalties during the three months ended ~~September 30, 2017~~ ~~and 2016, respectively, and $(2.7) million and $2.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

~~The United States~~ Internal Revenue Service ~~("IRS") completed its examination of~~is currently examining the Company’s United States federal consolidated income tax returns of First Data for 2003 and 2004, which included the Company, and issued a Notice of Deficiency in December 2008. In December 2011, the Company reached an agreement with the IRS resolving substantially all of the issues related to the Company's restructuring of its international operations in 2003 ("IRS Agreement"). As a result of the IRS Agreement, the Company expects to make cash payments of approximately ~~$190 million, plus additional accrued interest, of which~~ ~~$94.1 million~~ ~~has been paid as of September 30, 2017. A substantial majority of these payments were made in the year ended December 31, 2012. The Company expects to pay the remaining amount in 2018.~~The IRS completed its examination of the United States federal consolidated income tax returns of First Data, which include the Company's 2005 and pre-Spin-off 2006 taxable periods and issued its report on October 31, 2012 ("FDC 30-Day Letter"). Furthermore, the IRS completed its examination of the Company's United States federal consolidated income tax returns for 2017 and 2018. The statute of limitations for the ~~2006 post-Spin-off period through 2009~~U.S. federal returns for 2017 and issued its report also on October 31, 2012 ("WU 30-Day Letter"). Both the FDC 30-Day Letter and the WU 30-Day Letter propose tax adjustments affecting the Company, some of which are agreed and some of which are unagreed. Both First Data and the Company filed their respective protests with the IRS Appeals Division on November 28, 2012 related to the unagreed proposed adjustments. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company reached an agreement in principle with the IRS concerning its unagreed adjustments and adjusted its reserves accordingly. The Company anticipates concluding the matters related to these years in 2018.

~~As of~~ ~~September 30, 2017, no provision~~2018 has been ~~made for United States federal and state income taxes on certain of the Company's outside tax basis differences, which primarily relate~~extended to ~~accumulated foreign earnings of approximately~~ ~~$7.0 billion~~, which have been reinvested and are expected to continue to be reinvested outside the United States indefinitely. Over the last several years, such earnings have been used to pay for the Company's international acquisitions and operations and provide initial Company funding of global principal payouts for Consumer-to-Consumer and Business Solutions transactions. Upon distribution of those earnings to the United States in the form of actual or constructive dividends, the Company would be subject to United States income taxes (subject to an adjustment for foreign tax credits), state income taxes and possible withholding taxes payable to various foreign countries. Such taxes could be significant. Determination of this amount of unrecognized United States deferred tax liability is not practicable because of the complexities associated with its hypothetical calculation.April 4, 2023.

~~Tax Allocation Agreement with First Data~~

The Company and First Data each are liable for taxes imposed on their respective businesses both prior to and after the Spin-off. If such taxes have not been appropriately apportioned between First Data and the Company, subsequent adjustments may occur that may impact the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

Also under the Tax Allocation Agreement, with respect to taxes and other liabilities that result from a final determination that is inconsistent with the anticipated tax consequences of the Spin-off (as set forth in the private letter ruling and relevant tax opinion) ("Spin-off Related Taxes"), the Company will be liable to First Data for any such Spin-off Related Taxes attributable solely to actions taken by or with respect to the Company. In addition, the Company will also be liable for half of any Spin-off Related Taxes (i) that would not have been imposed but for the existence of both an action by the Company and an action by First Data or (ii) where the Company and First Data each take actions that, standing alone, would have resulted in the imposition of such Spin-off Related Taxes. The Company may be similarly liable if it breaches certain representations or covenants set forth in the tax allocation agreement. If the Company is required to indemnify First Data for taxes incurred as a result of the Spin-off being taxable to First Data, it likely would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. First Data generally will be liable for all Spin-off Related Taxes, other than those described above.

14. Segments

As further described in Note 1, the Company ~~made changes to~~classifies its operating and reportable segments in the second quarter of 2017, and the historical Consumer-to-Business operating segment is no longer a separate operating segment. The Company currently consists of two reportablebusiness into 2 segments: Consumer-to-Consumer and Business Solutions. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that engage in business activities, about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the ~~Company's CODM~~Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") in ~~deciding where to allocate~~allocating resources and in assessing performance.

The Consumer-to-Consumer operating segment facilitates money transfers between ~~two~~2 consumers. ~~The Company's money transfer service is viewed by the Company as one interconnected global network where a money transfer can be sent from one location to another, around the world.~~ The segment includes ~~five~~5 geographic regions whose functions are primarily related to generating, managing, and maintaining agent relationships and localized marketing activities. The Company includes Digital Money Transfer transactions in its ~~online~~regions, including transactions from the Company’s arrangements with financial institutions and other third parties to enable such entities to offer money transfer services ~~initiated through Western Union branded websites ("westernunion.com") in its regions.~~to their own customers under their brands. By means of common processes and systems, these regions, including ~~westernunion.com,~~Digital Money Transfer transactions, create anone interconnected global network for consumer transactions, thereby constituting one ~~global~~ Consumer-to-Consumer money transfer business and one operating segment.

The Business Solutions operating segment facilitates payment and foreign exchange solutions, primarily cross-border, cross-currency transactions, for small and medium size enterprises, and other organizations and individuals.

In addition, in certain countries, we write foreign currency forward and option contracts for customers to facilitate future payments. On August 4, 2021, we entered into an agreement to sell our Business Solutions business to Goldfinch Partners LLC and The Baupost Group LLC. The sale will be completed in two closings, the first of which occurred on March 1, 2022, with the second expected in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Results of Operations

The following discussion of our consolidated results of operations and segment results refers to the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017~~2022 compared to the same periods in ~~2016.~~2021. The results of operations should be read in conjunction with the discussion of our segment results of operations, which provide more detailed discussions concerning certain components of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions between our segments have been ~~eliminated and the~~eliminated. The below information has been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"). unless otherwise noted. All amounts provided in this section are rounded to the nearest tenth of a million, except as otherwise noted. As a result, the percentage changes and margins disclosed herein may not recalculate precisely using the rounded amounts provided. Beginning in the first quarter of 2017, we have reported total "Revenues" in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for all periods presented and no longer present the subcaptions previously reported, including "Transaction fees," "Foreign exchange revenues," and "Other revenues."

Our revenues and operating income for the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017~~2022 were ~~negatively~~ impacted by ~~the strengthening of~~fluctuations in the United States dollar compared to foreign currencies. ~~The strengthening of~~Fluctuations in the United States dollar compared to foreign currencies, net of the impact of foreign currency hedges, resulted in ~~a reduction~~decreases to revenues of $42.1 million and $75.3 million for the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017 of $7.7 million and $66.8 million, respectively, and negatively impacted operating income by $8.9 million and $30.7 million,~~2022, respectively, relative to the corresponding periods in the prior year. ~~Additionally, our~~Fluctuations in the United States dollar compared to foreign currencies positively impacted operating income by $4.2 million and $8.1 million for the ~~nine~~three and six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017 was negatively impacted by a $49 million accrual related~~2022, respectively, relative to the ~~State Regulator Matter described further~~corresponding periods in the prior year.

On August 4, 2021, we entered into an agreement to sell our Business Solutions business to Goldfinch Partners LLC and The Baupost Group LLC (collectively, the “Buyer”) for cash consideration of $910.0 million. The sale will be completed in two closings, the first of which occurred on March 1, 2022 with the entirety of the cash consideration collected and allocated to the closings on a relative fair value basis. The first closing excluded the operations in the European Union and the United Kingdom and resulted in a gain of $151.4 million. The second closing is currently expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2022, pending required regulatory approvals, at which time the remainder of the gain will be recognized, subject to regulatory capital adjustments. The Buyer has rebranded the sold operations within a new standalone company (now referred to as "Convera"). Refer to Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements,Note ~~5, “Commitments~~4, Divestitures and ~~Contingencies.”~~

Investment Activities for further discussion.

Business Solutions revenues included in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income were $35.7 million and $99.3 million and direct operating expenses, excluding corporate allocations were $27.8 million and $85.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Business Solutions revenues were $124.8 million and $195.8 million and direct operating expenses, excluding corporate allocations were $90.4 million and $166.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Divestiture costs directly associated with this transaction were $0.8 million and $4.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.

In March 2022, we suspended our operations in Russia and Belarus, which are included in our Consumer-to-Consumer segment, due to the Russia/Ukraine conflict (the "Conflict"). Revenues associated with the Russia and Belarus operations, including transactions sent from, into, and within these countries for the three months ended June 30, 2021 were approximately $36 million, and for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2021, were approximately $28 million, $66 million, and $145 million, respectively. The Conflict has had and is expected to continue to have broader implications to our overall business, including reduced transaction activity in Ukraine. We expect that our results of operations will continue to be negatively impacted by this Conflict for the remainder of 2022 and possibly thereafter.

Revenues ~~overview~~

~~Transaction volume is the primary generator of revenue in our businesses.~~ Overview

Revenues are primarily derived from consideration paid by customers to transfer money. These revenues vary by transaction based upon factors such as channel, send and receive locations, the principal amount sent, whether the money transfer involves different send and receive currencies, the difference between the exchange rate we set to the customer and the rate available in the wholesale foreign exchange market, and speed of service, as applicable. We also offer several other services, including foreign exchange and payment services and other bill payment services, for which revenue is impacted by similar ~~factors, including payments from consumers or businesses to other businesses, foreign exchange and payment services, and retail money order services.~~

factors.

Due to the significance of the effect that foreign exchange fluctuations against the United States dollar can have on our reported revenues, constant currency results have been provided in the table below for consolidated revenues. ~~Additionally, due to the significance of our Consumer-to-Consumer segment to our overall results, we have also provided constant currency results for our Consumer-to-Consumer segment revenues.~~ Constant currency results assume foreign revenues are translated from foreign currencies to the United States dollar, net of the effect of foreign currency hedges, at rates consistent with those in the prior year. We have also disclosed the impact of our Business Solutions divestiture on our revenues in the table below. Constant currency measures and measures that exclude the impact of divestitures are non-GAAP financial measures and are provided so that revenue can be viewed without the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and divestitures of our businesses, which is consistent with how management evaluates our revenue results and trends. We believe that these measures provide management and investors with information about revenue results and trends that eliminates currency volatility and ~~provides~~divestitures, thereby providing greater clarity regarding, and ~~increases~~increasing the comparability of, our underlying results and trends. ~~This constant currency disclosure is~~These disclosures are provided in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the percentage change in revenue on a GAAP basis for the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017~~2022 compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. Other companies may calculate and define similarly labeled items differently, which may limit the usefulness of this measure for comparative purposes.

(b)

In March 2022, we completed the first closing of the sale of our Business Solutions business, as discussed above. Business Solutions revenues included in our results were $35.7 million and $99.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $124.8 million and $195.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, revenues decreased 12% and 8%, respectively, when compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year due to a transaction decline in our Consumer-to-Consumer segment, including as a result of the suspension of our operations in Russia and Belarus, as well as the first closing of the divestiture of our Business Solutions business, as described above. Fluctuations in the exchange rates between the United States dollar and foreign currencies negatively impacted revenue by 1% and 2% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. The increase in non-GAAP revenues constant currency adjusted was the result of transaction growth in our Consumer-to-Consumer segment of 2%4% and 3% for the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017 and growth in our Argentina cash-based and United States electronic bill payments services.~~

~~We use foreign currency forwards~~2022, respectively, compared to ~~hedge certain foreign exchange impacts on our forecasted revenues. To~~ the ~~extent these derivatives are effective in managing our foreign exchange risk, we reflect the hedge impact in revenues~~corresponding periods in the period the hedged revenues are recorded. Foreign currency hedges negatively impacted GAAP revenues by $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and benefited GAAP revenues by $11.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Regulatory Compliance

The financial services industry, including money services businesses, continues to be subject to increasingly strict legal and regulatory requirements, and we continue to focus on and regularly review our compliance programs. In connection with these reviews, and in light of growing and rapidly evolving regulatory complexity and heightened attention of, and increased dialogue with, governmental and regulatory authorities related to our compliance activities, we have made, and continue to make, enhancements to our processes and systems designed to detect and prevent money laundering, terrorist financing, and fraud and other illicit activity, ~~along with~~and enhancements designed to improve consumer ~~protection, including related to the Joint Settlement Agreements described further in Part I, Item 1,~~ ~~Financial Statements, Note 5, "Commitments and Contingencies,"~~the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and similar regulations outside the United States, and other matters. In coming periods, we expect these enhancements will continue to result in changes to certain of our business practices and increased costs.protection. Some of these changes have had, and we believe will continue to have, an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

The decrease in our~~ effective tax rate for the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, 2017 compared to the prior period reflects lower tax expense arising from the related effects in the current period of the discrete tax expense recognized during the first quarter of 2017 from changes in internal ownership of certain international subsidiaries within the consolidated group and additional discrete benefits in the current period for changes in tax contingency reserves. The increase in our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 20172022 compared to the prior period was ~~due to the State Regulator Matter accrual discussed in Part I, Item 1,~~ ~~Financial Statements~~, Note 5, "Commitments and Contingencies," for which no tax benefit is currently recorded, and the tax effects from the changes in internal ownership of certain of our international subsidiaries within the consolidated group during the first quarter of 2017 described earlier, partially offset by ~~one-time~~lower discrete tax ~~planning benefits.~~

Per Share

During the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017~~2022 and ~~2016,~~2021, basic ~~earnings per share were $0.51 and $0.45,~~ and diluted earnings per share were ~~$0.51~~$0.50 and ~~$0.44~~$0.54, respectively. During the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017~~2022 and ~~2016,~~2021, basic ~~earnings per share were $1.20 and $1.24,~~ and diluted earnings per share were ~~$1.19~~$1.25 and ~~$1.23,~~$0.98, respectively. Outstanding options to purchase Western Union stock and unvested shares of restricted stock are excluded from basic shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if outstanding stock options at the presented dates are exercised and shares of restricted stock have vested. For the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017~~2022 and ~~2016,~~2021 there were ~~3.3~~8.6 million and ~~2.4~~1.4 million, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, there were 7.9 million and 1.4 million, respectively, of ~~outstanding options to purchase~~ shares ~~of Western Union stock~~ excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation under the treasury stock method, ~~as their effect was anti-dilutive. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, there were 2.9 million and 3.9 million, respectively, of outstanding~~primarily due to options to purchase shares of Western Union stock ~~excluded from~~and outstanding restricted stock units, as the ~~diluted earnings~~assumed proceeds of the options and restricted stock per unit were above our weighted-average share ~~calculation under~~price during the ~~treasury stock method as~~periods and their effect was anti-dilutive.

Earnings per share for both the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017~~2022 compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year were impacted by the previously described factors impacting net income and a lower ~~weighted-average~~number of shares outstanding. The lower number of shares outstanding was due to stock repurchases exceeding stock issuances ~~related to the Company's~~under our stock compensation programs.

Segment Discussion

We manage our business around the consumers and businesses we serve and the types of services we offer. Each of our segments addresses a different combination of consumer groups, distribution networks, and services offered. Our ~~reportable~~ segments are Consumer-to-Consumer and Business Solutions.

On August 4, 2021, we entered into an agreement to sell our Business Solutions business and completed the first closing on March 1, 2022. The operations of the Business Solutions

However, between the first and second closing, we ~~had organized~~will pay the ~~business into the following operating segments: Consumer-to-Consumer, Consumer-to-Business, and Business Solutions. As~~Buyer a ~~result of these leadership and organizational structure changes, the components~~measure of the ~~historical Consumer-to-Business operating segment have been divided between two executives,~~profits from these operations, adjusted for other charges, and this expense is recognized in Other income/(expense), net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we incurred $11.2 million and $7.7 million of exit costs associated with the ~~majority~~suspension of our ~~cash-based bill payments services under one executive~~Russia and Belarus operations and the majority of our electronic-based bill payments services under the other executive. The CODM allocates resources and assesses performance using discrete information for these separate components, neither of which is material from either a quantitative or qualitative perspective. Accordingly, we no longer report a separate Consumer-to-Business operating segment, and no new reportable segments result from the impact of these changes. The cash-based and electronic-based bill payments services are therefore included in "Other" along with other businesses and services not classified in the Consumer-to-Consumer or Business Solutions segments. This new operating segment structure is based upon the financial information provided to the CODM for decision-making and is consistent with our overall business strategy. Segment results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 in the discussion and tables below have been adjusted to conform to these changes in reportable segments.

~~We accrued $49 million~~divestiture, respectively. These exit costs are primarily related to severance and non-cash impairments of property and equipment, an operating lease right-of-use asset, and other intangible assets. While certain of the ~~State Regulator Matter during the second quarter of 2017 and $15 million related to the Joint Settlement Agreements in both the second and third quarters of 2016.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, a majority of these expenses related to severance and related employee benefits. We expect to incur further severance, consulting service fees, and other implementation costs, such as training, relocation, travel, and other costs related to the initiative, in the fourth quarter of 2017.

In our Consumer-to-Consumer regions, the decrease in NA revenue by $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and benefited revenues by $11.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Constant currency revenue growth and transaction growth was driven primarily by continued growth in westernunion.com. Consumer-to-Consumer money transfer revenue was positively impacted by net price increases of 1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

~~Our NA region experienced increased revenue of 1% and 2%~~ for the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017,~~2022 compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year ~~and transaction growth of 2% and 4% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. The increase in revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017~~ was primarily due to ~~transaction growth~~decreases in our United States outbound services, including to certain LACA corridors. Revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 was negatively impacted by price reductions for money transferstransactions sent ~~and received within the United States and lower revenue generated from money transfers sent to Mexico~~ from the United States.

~~Our~~ The EU & CIS region experienced ~~increased~~transaction volume and revenue declines in France, Russia and Belarus, Germany, and the United Kingdom.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, revenue was positively impacted by transaction growth in France but negatively impacted by geographic and product mix.

Our MEASA region experienced decreased revenue of 8% and 11% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year, and transaction declines of 11% and 12%, respectively. Declines in transactions from oil-producing countries negatively impacted revenue growth.

Our APAC region experienced decreased revenue of 1% and 3% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. Transactions remained flat for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and declined 1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the United States dollar and other currencies, net of the impact of foreign currency hedges, negatively impacted revenue by 2% for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Our LACA region experienced increased revenue of 19% and 22% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year, respectively, and transaction growth of 17% for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. The increase in revenue was primarily due to growth in Argentina and in other South American countries.

We have historically implemented ~~and~~price reductions or price increases throughout many of our global corridors. We will likely continue to implement price ~~reductions~~changes from time to time in response to competition and other factors. Price reductions generally reduce margins and adversely affect financial results in the short term and may also adversely affect financial results in the long term if transaction volumes do not increase sufficiently.

Price increases may adversely affect transaction volumes, as consumers may not use our services if we fail to price them appropriately.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the prior period, bank fees in our United States electronic bill payments were impacted by increased credit card usage from our customers. The changes in operating margins were also due to these factors.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

Our primary source of liquidity has been cash generated from our operating activities, primarily from net income and fluctuations in working capital. Our working capital is affected by the timing of payments for employee and agent incentives, interest payments on our outstanding borrowings and timing of income tax payments, among other items. Many of our annual employee incentive compensation and agent incentive payments are made in the first quarter following the year they were incurred. The ~~significant~~ majority of our interest payments are due in the second and fourth ~~quarters which results~~quarters. The annual payments resulting from the United States tax reform legislation enacted in ~~a decrease~~2017 (the “Tax Act”) include amounts related to the United States taxation of certain previously undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries. These payments are typically due in the ~~amount~~second quarter of ~~cash provided by operating activities in those quarters and a corresponding increase to the first and third quarters.~~

each year through 2025.

Table of Contents

Our future cash flows could be impacted by a variety of factors, some of which are out of our ~~control, including~~control. These factors include, but are not limited to, changes in economic conditions, especially those impacting migrant populations, changes in income tax laws or the status of income tax audits, including the resolution of outstanding tax matters, and the settlement or resolution of legal contingencies.

Substantially all of our cash flows from operating activities have been generated from subsidiaries. Most of these cash flows are generated from our regulated subsidiaries. Our regulated subsidiaries may transfer all excess cash to the parent company for general corporate use, except for assets subject to legal or regulatory restrictions, including: ~~(1)~~(i) requirements to maintain cash and other qualifying investment balances, free of any liens or other encumbrances, related to the payment of certain of our money transfer and other payment obligations, ~~(2)~~(ii) other legal or regulatory restrictions, including statutory or formalized minimum net worth requirements, and ~~(3)~~(iii) restrictions on transferring assets outside of the countries where these assets are located.

In connection with our decision to suspend operations in Russia and Belarus, as well as the ongoing nature of the conflict and recent related restrictions imposed on our Russian subsidiary, we have classified approximately $19 million of our cash balance held in Russia as restricted and are continuing to pursue the distribution of this amount to the parent.

We currently believe we have adequate liquidity to meet our business needs, ~~service~~including payments under our debt ~~obligations, pay dividends,~~ and ~~repurchase shares~~other obligations, through our existing cash balances, our ability to generate cash flows through operations, and our ~~$1.65~~$1.5 billion revolving credit facility ("Revolving Credit Facility"), which expires in ~~September 2020~~January 2025 and supports our ~~$1.5 billion~~ commercial paper program. Our commercial paper program enables us to issue unsecured commercial paper notes in an amount not to exceed $1.5 billion outstanding at any time, reduced to the extent of any borrowings outstanding on our Revolving Credit ~~Facility in excess of $150 million.~~Facility. As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017,~~2022, we had no outstanding borrowings ~~under~~on our Revolving Credit Facility orand $260.0 million of outstanding borrowings on the commercial paper program.

To help ensure availability of our worldwide cash where needed, we utilize a variety of planning and financial strategies, including decisions related to the amounts, timing, and manner by which cash is ~~repatriated or otherwise~~ made available from our international subsidiaries. These decisions can influence our overall tax rate and impact our total liquidity. ~~Additionally,~~We regularly evaluate our overall liquidity may be impacted by existing regulations and changes to these regulations or their interpretations that, if fully enacted or implemented, could require us to register as a swap dealer and post collateral in connection with our derivative financial instruments used to hedge our exposures arising in connection with changes to foreign currency exchange rates.

~~Cash and Investment Securities~~

As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1.0 billion and $0.9 billion, respectively. Approximately $550 million and $700 million was held by our foreign entities as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Our ongoing cash management strategies to fund our business needs could cause United States ~~and foreign~~ cash ~~balances to fluctuate.~~

Repatriating foreign earnings to the United States would, in many cases, result in significant tax obligations because most of these earnings have been taxed at relatively low foreign tax rates compared to our combined federal and state tax rate in the United States. Over the last several years, such earnings have been used to pay for our international acquisitions and operations and provide initial Company funding of global principal payouts for Consumer-to-Consumer and Business Solutions transactions. We regularly evaluate,requirements, taking tax consequences and other factors into consideration ~~our United States cash requirements~~ and also the potential uses of cash internationally to determine the appropriate level of dividend repatriations of our foreign source income.

Cash and Investment Securities

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had Cash and cash equivalents of $1,278.9 million and $1,246.0 million, which includes $77.0 million and $37.7 million related to Business Solutions, respectively. As described in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, Note 4, Divestitures and Investment Activities, we collected the entirety of the cash consideration related to the sale of our Business Solutions business, subject to regulatory approval and other closing conditions. We invested a portion of these proceeds temporarily in reverse repurchase agreements, as discussed in Part 1, Item 1, Financial Statements, Note 5, Fair Value Measurements. We believe that the longer-term use of the Business Solutions proceeds will be consistent with our objective to maintain strong liquidity and a capital structure consistent with investment-grade credit ratings, as further described below.

In many cases, we receive funds from money transfers and certain other payment services before we settle the payment of those transactions. These funds, referred to as ~~"Settlement assets"~~Settlement assets on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, are not used to support our operations. However, we earn income from investing these funds. We maintain a portion of these settlement assets in highly liquid investments, classified as ~~"Cash~~Cash and cash ~~equivalents"~~equivalents within ~~"Settlement~~Settlement assets," to fund settlement obligations.

Financing Resources

On December 18, 2018, we entered into an amended and restated term loan facility providing for up to $950.0 million in borrowings and extending the ~~year ending December 31, 2017,~~final maturity of the facility to January 2024 (the "Term Loan Facility"). In the first quarter of 2021, we ~~expect that~~repaid $650.0 million of the Term Loan Facility.

On March ~~15, 2017,~~9, 2021, we issued ~~$400.0~~$600.0 million and $300.0 million of aggregate principal amount of 1.350% and 2.750% unsecured notes due March 15, 2022. We used the net proceeds from the sale of the notes for general corporate purposes, including to fund a portion of the payments due under the Joint Settlement Agreements. On August 22, 2017, we issued an additional $100.0 million of aggregate principal amount of unsecured notes due2026 (“2026 Notes”) and March 15, ~~2022, for an aggregate principal total of $500.0 million unsecured notes ("2022 Notes"~~2031 (“2031 Notes”). The notes issued on August 22, 2017 are part of the same series and, accordingly, have the same terms and conditions as the notes issued on March 15, 2017; however, the notes issued on August 22, 2017 were issued at a premium of 101.783% and we received $1.57 million of accrued interest upon issuance. We expect to use the net proceeds from the August 22, 2017 sale of the notes, excluding the accrued interest received, for general corporate purposes, including to repay a portion of the 2017 notes that will mature in December 2017., respectively. Interest with respect to ~~the 2022 Notes~~these notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning on September 15, 2017, based on the per annum rate of 3.600%. The interest rate payable on the 2022 Notes will be increased if the debt rating assigned to the note is downgraded by an applicable credit rating agency, beginning at a downgrade below investment grade. However, in no event will the interest rate on the 2022 Notes exceed 5.60% per annum. The interest rate payable on the 2022 Notes may also be adjusted downward for debt rating upgrades subsequent to any debt rating downgrades but may not be adjusted below 3.600% per annum. The 2022 Notes are subject to covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict our ability to sell or transfer assets or merge or consolidate with another company, and limit or restrict our ability and certain of our subsidiaries' ability to incur certain types of security interests, or enter into sale and leaseback transactions.2021.

Proceeds from the 2026 Notes and 2031 Notes and cash, including cash generated from operations, were used to repay $650.0 million of the term loan facility in the first quarter of 2021 and $500.0 million of the aggregate principal amount of 3.600% unsecured ~~floating rate~~ notes due ~~May 22, 2019 (“Floating Rate Notes”).

Interest with respect to the Floating Rate Notes is payable quarterly on each February 22, May 22, August 22 and November 22, beginning November 22, 2017, at a per annum interest rate equal to the three-month LIBOR plus 80 basis points (reset quarterly).

2040.

Our Revolving Credit Facility ~~expires in September 2020 and~~ provides for unsecured financing facilities in an aggregate amount of ~~$1.65~~$1.5 billion, including a ~~$250~~$250.0 million letter of credit sub-facility. Interest due under the Revolving Credit Facility is fixed for the term of each borrowing and is payable according to the terms of that borrowing. Generally, interest is calculated using a selected LIBOR rate plus an interest rate margin of 110 basis points. A facility fee is also payable quarterly at an annual rate of 15 basis points ~~is also payable quarterly~~ on the total facility, regardless of usage. Both the interest rate margin and facility fee percentage are based on certain of our credit ratings.

While we have not drawn on our Revolving Credit Facility since its inception, the governing agreement for the Revolving Credit Facility contains provisions to amend the rate and payment terms to conform to an appropriate LIBOR alternative, and we intend to exercise and negotiate these options in accordance with market standards prior to cessation of the one-month USD LIBOR benchmark setting after June 2023.

The purpose of our Revolving Credit Facility, which is diversified through a group of 1819 participating institutions, is to provide general liquidity and to support our commercial paper program, which we believe enhances our short-term credit rating. The largest commitment from any single financial institution within the total committed balance of ~~$1.65~~$1.5 billion is approximately 11%. As of ~~the three and nine months ended September~~June 30, ~~2017,~~2022, we had no outstanding borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility. If the amount available to borrow under the Revolving Credit Facility decreased, or if the Revolving Credit Facility were eliminated, the cost and availability of borrowing under the commercial paper program may be impacted.

Pursuant to our commercial paper program, we may issue unsecured commercial paper notes in an amount not to exceed $1.5 billion outstanding at any time, reduced to the extent of borrowings outstanding on our Revolving Credit ~~Facility in excess~~

Proceeds from our commercial paper borrowings were used for general corporate purposes and working capital needs.

As of September 30, 2017, we have outstanding borrowings at par value of $3,549.9 million. The significant majority of these outstanding borrowings consist of unsecured fixed-rate notes and associated swaps with maturities ranging from 2017 to 2040.

Cash Priorities

Liquidity

Our objective is to maintain strong liquidity and a capital structure consistent with investment-grade credit ratings. We have existing cash balances, cash flows from operating activities, access to the commercial paper markets, and our Revolving Credit Facility available to support the needs of our business.

~~Capital Expenditures~~

The total aggregate amount paid for contract costs, purchases of property and equipment and purchased and developed software was $122.5 million and $177.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Amounts paid for new and renewed agent contracts vary depending on the terms of existing contracts as well as the timing of new and renewed contract signings. Other capital expenditures during these periods included investments in our information technology infrastructure and purchased and developed software.

~~Share Repurchases and Dividends~~

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, 24.3 million and 20.9 million shares were repurchased for $475.0 million and $402.2 million, respectively, excluding commissions, at an average cost of $19.54 and $19.22, respectively. As of September 30, 2017, $955.5 million remained available under the share repurchase authorization approved by our Board of Directors through December 31, 2019.

~~Our Board of Directors declared quarterly cash dividends of $0.175 per common share for each of the first three quarters of 2017, representing $245.3 million in total dividends.~~

~~Debt Service Requirements~~

Our 2017 and future debt service requirements will include payments on all outstanding indebtedness including any borrowings under our commercial paper program. In December 2017, our 2017 notes of $500.0 million will mature. We plan to fund this maturity by using proceeds from the August 22, 2017 sale of the 2022 Notes and the Floating Rate Notes, as well as cash generated from operations.

~~Table of Contents~~

Our ability to grow the business, make investments in our business, make acquisitions, return capital to shareholders, including through dividends and share repurchases, and service our debt and tax obligations will depend on our ability to continue to generate excess operating cash through our operating subsidiaries and to continue to receive dividends from those operating subsidiaries, our ability to obtain adequate financing and our ability to identify acquisitions that align with our long-term strategy.

~~Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements~~

~~Other than facility~~ For additional information, please refer to Part II, Item 5, Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities in our Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Capital Expenditures

The total aggregate amount paid for contract costs, purchases of property and equipment, and purchased and developed software was $84.3 million and $145.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Amounts paid for new and renewed agent contracts vary depending on the terms of existing contracts as well as the timing of new and renewed contract signings. Other capital expenditures during these periods included investments in our information technology infrastructure.

Share Repurchases and Dividends

During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, 9.2 million and 6.1 million shares were repurchased for $171.0 million and $150.0 million, respectively, excluding commissions, at an average cost of $18.52 and $24.42, respectively, under the share repurchase authorizations approved by our Board of Directors, including one which expired on December 31, 2021. On February 10, 2022, our Board of Directors authorized $1.0 billion of common stock repurchases through December 31, 2024. As of June 30, 2022, $829.0 million remained available under this share repurchase program.

Our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.235 per common share in the first and second quarters of 2022, representing $182.5 million in total dividends. On July 19, 2022, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.235 per common share, payable on September 30, 2022.

Material Cash Requirements

Debt Service Requirements

Our 2022 and future debt service requirements will include payments on all outstanding indebtedness, including any borrowings under our commercial paper program. Our next scheduled principal payment on our outstanding notes is in 2023.

2017 United States Federal Tax Liability

The Tax Act imposed a tax on certain of our previously undistributed foreign earnings. This tax charge, combined with our other 2017 United States taxable income and tax attributes, resulted in a 2017 United States federal tax liability

Table of Contents

of approximately $800 million, of which approximately $478 million remained as of June 30, 2022. We have elected to pay this liability in periodic installments through 2025 and paid $63.7 million during the second quarter of 2022. Under the terms of the law, we are required to pay the remaining installment payments as summarized in the Capital Resources and Liquidity discussion located in Part II, Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2021. These payments have affected and will continue to adversely affect our cash flows and liquidity and may adversely affect future share repurchases.

Operating Leases

We lease real properties for use as administrative and sales offices, in addition to transportation, office, and other equipment. Refer to Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, Note 13, Leases, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 for details on our leasing arrangements, weincluding future maturities of our operating lease liabilities.

We have no material off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, ~~revenues or expenses,~~ results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources.

Other Commercial Commitments

We had approximately ~~$210~~$340 million in outstanding letters of credit and bank guarantees as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017that are~~2022 primarily held in connection with safeguarding consumer funds, lease arrangements, and certain agent agreements. ~~The letters of credit and bank guarantees have expiration dates through~~ ~~2021, with many having a one-year renewal option.~~ We expect to renew ~~the~~many of our letters of credit and bank guarantees prior to ~~expiration in most circumstances.~~

expiration.

As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017,~~2022, our total amount of unrecognized income tax benefits was ~~$354.1~~$371.8 million, including associated interest and penalties. The timing of any related cash payments for substantially all of these liabilities is inherently uncertain because the ultimate amount and timing of such liabilities are affected by factors which are variable and outside our control.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Our Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates disclosed in ~~"Management's~~Part II, Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ~~- Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates"~~ in our Annual Report on Form ~~10-K~~10‑K for the year ended December 31, ~~2016,~~2021, for which there were no material changes, included:

•

Income taxes, including income tax contingencies

•

Derivative financial instruments

•

Goodwill

•

Other intangible assets

~~Goodwill~~

•

Legal contingencies

In our Annual Report on Form 10-K, we disclosed that our Business Solutions reporting unit was at an increased risk for future impairment charges due to its sensitivity to changes in projections for revenue growth rates and EBITDA margins, as well as changes in United States and foreign income tax rates, which impact the value of our cash flow management and liquidity strategies facilitated through the Business Solutions reporting unit, and could experience a decline in estimated fair value of approximately 15% as of the October 1, 2016 testing date before triggering an impairment of goodwill. As of September 30, 2017, the Business Solutions reporting unit, which had $996 million of goodwill, remains at an increased risk for future impairment charges and the reporting unit will continue to be closely monitored throughout 2017.

We currently settle with the ~~substantial~~significant majority of our agents in United States dollars, ~~euros,~~Mexican pesos, or ~~Mexican pesos,~~euros, requiring those agents to obtain local currency to pay recipients, and we generally do not rely on international currency markets to obtain and pay illiquid currencies. However, in certain circumstances, we settle in other currencies. The foreign currency exposure that does exist is limited by the fact that the majority of transactions are paid by the next day after they are ~~initiated.~~initiated, and agent settlements occur within a few days in most instances. To mitigate this risk further, we enter into short duration foreign currency forward contracts, generally with maturities ranging from a few days up to one month, to offset foreign exchange rate fluctuations between transaction initiation and settlement. We also have exposure to certain foreign currency denominated cash and other asset and liability positions and may utilize foreign currency forward contracts, typically with maturities of less than one year at inception, to offset foreign exchange rate fluctuations on these positions. In certain consumer money transfer, bill payment, and Business Solutions transactions involving different send and receive currencies, we generate revenue based on the difference between the exchange rate set by us to the consumer or business and the rate available in the wholesale foreign exchange market, helping to provide protection against currency fluctuations. We attempt to promptly buy and sell foreign currencies as necessary to cover our net payables and receivables which are denominated in foreign currencies.

We use longer-term foreign currency forward contracts to help mitigate risks associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates on revenues denominated primarily in the euro, and, to a lesser degree, the ~~British pound,~~ Canadian dollar, ~~Australian dollar, Swiss franc,~~the British pound, and other currencies. We use contracts with maturities of up to 36 months at inception to mitigate some of the impact that changes in foreign currency exchange rates could have on forecasted revenues, with a targeted weighted-average maturity of approximately one year. We believe the use of longer-term foreign currency forward contracts provides predictability of future cash flows from our international operations.

We have additional foreign exchange risk and associated foreign exchange risk management requirements due to the nature of our Business Solutions business. ~~The majority~~Our Business Solutions business writes derivatives as part of ~~this business' revenue is~~the broader portfolio of foreign currency positions arising from our cross-currency payments operations, which primarily include spot exchanges of currency ~~at spot rates, which enable customers~~in addition to ~~make cross-currency payments.

The ~~duration~~majority of these derivative contracts have a duration at inception ~~is generally~~of less than one year. Business Solutions aggregates its foreign exchange exposures arising from customer contracts, including the derivative contracts described above, and hedges the resulting net currency risks by entering into offsetting contracts with ~~established financial institution counterparties.~~

As of ~~December 31, 2016,~~June 30, 2022, a hypothetical uniform 10% strengthening or weakening in the value of the United States dollar relative to all other currencies in which our net income is generated would have resulted in a decrease/increase to pre-tax annual income of approximately ~~$25~~$15 million, based on our ~~2017~~ forecast of unhedged exposure to foreign currency at that date. ~~As of September 30, 2017, the exposure for the next twelve months is not materially different based on our forecast of unhedged exposure to foreign currency.~~ There are inherent limitations in this sensitivity analysis, primarily due to the following assumptions: ~~(a) that~~(i) foreign exchange rate movements are linear and instantaneous, ~~(b) that~~(ii) fixed exchange rates between certain currency pairs are retained, ~~(c) that~~(iii) the unhedged exposure is static, and ~~(d) that~~(iv) we would not hedge any additional exposure. As a result, the analysis is unable to reflect the potential effects of more complex market changes that could arise, which may positively or negatively affect income.

Interest Rates

We invest in several types of interest-bearing assets, with a total value as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017~~2022 of $~~2.8~~approximately $3.2 billion. Approximately ~~$1.8~~$1.9 billion of these assets bear interest at floating ~~rates and are therefore sensitive to changes in interest~~ rates. ~~These~~Our interest-bearing assets primarily include cash in banks, money market instruments, ~~and~~ state and municipal ~~variable rate~~variable-rate securities, and reverse repurchase agreements and are included in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets within ~~"Cash~~Cash and cash ~~equivalents"~~equivalents, Settlement assets, and ~~"Settlement~~Other assets." To the extent these assets are held in connection with money transfers and other related payment services awaiting redemption, they are classified as ~~"Settlement~~Settlement assets." Earnings on these investments will increase and decrease with changes in the underlying short-term interest rates.

Table of Contents

The remainder of our interest-bearing assets primarily consists of highly-rated state and municipal debt securities, which are ~~fixed rate~~fixed-rate term notes. These investments may include investments made from cash received from our money order services, money transfer business, and other related payment services awaiting redemption and are classified within ~~"Settlement assets"~~Settlement assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As interest rates rise, the fair value of these fixed-rate interest-bearing securities will decrease; conversely, a decrease to interest rates would result in an increase to the fair values of the securities. We have classified these investments as available-for-sale within ~~"Settlement assets"~~Settlement assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and accordingly, recorded these instruments at their fair value with the net unrealized gains and losses, net of the applicable deferred income tax effect, being added to or deducted from our ~~"Total stockholders' equity" on~~Total stockholders’ equity in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

As of September 30, 2017, we had a total of $1.8 billion of borrowings that are subject to floating interest rates. Our Floating Rate Notes had an outstanding balance of $250.0 million as of September 30, 2017, and had an effective interest rate of 2.4% or 80 basis points above three-month LIBOR. In addition, as of September 30, 2017, a total of ~~$975.0 million~~ of our fixed-rate borrowings at par value are effectively floating rate debt through interest rate swap agreements, changing this fixed-rate debt to LIBOR-based floating rate debt, with weighted-average spreads of approximately 200 basis points above LIBOR. Finally, interest on $575.0 million borrowed under our Term Loan Facility is calculated using a selected LIBOR rate plus an interest rate margin of 150 basis points. Any borrowings

Borrowings under our commercial paper program mature in such a short period that the financing is ~~also~~ effectively floating rate.

As of June 30, 2022, there were $260.0 million in outstanding borrowings under our commercial paper program.

We review our overall exposure to floating and fixed rates by evaluating our net asset or liability position ~~in each, also considering~~and the duration of ~~the~~each individual ~~positions.~~position. We manage this mix of fixed versus floating exposure in an attempt to minimize risk, reduce costs, and improve returns. Our exposure to interest rates can be modified by changing the mix of our interest-bearing assets as well as adjusting the mix of fixed versus floating rate debt. The latter is accomplished primarily through the use of interest rate swaps and the decision regarding terms of any new debt issuances (i.e., fixed versus floating). WeFrom time to time, we use interest rate swaps designated as hedges to ~~increase~~vary the percentage of fixed to floating rate debt, subject to market conditions. As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017,~~2022, our weighted-average effective rate on total borrowings was approximately ~~4.2%~~3.6%.

There are inherent limitations in the sensitivity analysis presented, primarily due to the ~~assumption~~assumptions that interest rate changes would be ~~instantaneous.~~instantaneous and consistent across all geographies in which our interest-bearing assets are held and our liabilities are payable. As a result, the analysis is unable to reflect the potential effects of more complex market changes, including changes in credit risk regarding our investments, which may positively or negatively affect income. In addition, the mix of fixed versus floating rate debt and investments and the level of assets and liabilities will change over time, including the impact from commercial paper borrowings that may be outstanding in future periods. ~~We will also be further impacted by changes to future interest rates as we refinance our debt or by reinvesting proceeds from the sale or maturity of our investments.~~

Credit Risk

To manage our exposures to credit risk with respect to investment securities, money market fund investments, derivatives, and other credit risk exposures resulting from our relationships with banks and financial institutions, we regularly review investment concentrations, trading levels, credit spreads, and credit ratings, and we attempt to diversify our investments among global financial institutions.

We are also exposed to credit risk related to receivable balances from agents in the money transfer, walk-in bill payment, and money order settlement process. We perform a credit review before each agent signing and conduct periodic analyses of agents and certain other parties we transact with directly. In addition, we are exposed to ~~credit risk~~losses directly from consumer transactions, particularly through our ~~electronic~~digital channels, where transactions are originated through means other than cash and are therefore ~~are~~ subject to "chargebacks," insufficient funds or other collection impediments, such as fraud, which are anticipated to increase as ~~electronic~~digital channels become a greater proportion of our money transfer business.

We are exposed to credit risk in our Business Solutions business relating to: ~~(a)~~(i) derivatives written by us, primarily to our customers, and ~~(b)~~(ii) the extension of trade credit when transactions are paid to recipients prior to our receiving cleared funds from the sending customers. For the derivatives, the duration of these contracts at inception is generally less than one year. The credit risk associated with our derivative contracts increases when foreign currency exchange rates move against our customers, possibly impacting their ability to honor their obligations to deliver currency to us or to maintain appropriate collateral with us. For those receivables where we have ~~offered~~extended trade credit, collection ordinarily occurs within a few days. To mitigate the risk associated with potential customer defaults, we perform credit reviews of the customer on an ongoing basis, and, for our derivatives, we may require certain customers to post or increase collateral.

Our losses ~~associated with bad debts~~ have been ~~approximately 1%~~less than 2% of our consolidated revenues in all periods presented.

The Board of Directors and Stockholders of The Western Union Company

Results of Review of Interim Financial Statements

We have reviewed the condensed consolidated balance sheet of The Western Union Company (the Company) as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017,~~2022, the related condensed consolidated statements of income, ~~and~~ comprehensive income, and stockholders’ equity for the ~~three-month~~three and ~~nine-month periods~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017~~2022 and ~~2016, and~~2021, the ~~related~~ condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the ~~nine-month periods~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017~~2022 and ~~2016.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements ~~are the responsibility of the Company's management.~~

for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We ~~conducted our review~~have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2021, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, cash flows, and stockholders’ equity for the year then ended, and the related notes and schedule (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 24, 2022, we expressed an unqualified audit opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Basis for Review Results

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the PCAOB. We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial ~~information~~statements consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the ~~Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States),~~PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of The Western Union Company as of December 31, 2016, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, cash flows, and stockholders' equity for the year then ended (not presented herein) and we expressed an unqualified audit opinion on those consolidated financial statements in our report dated February 22, 2017.

OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

~~Shareholder Derivative Actions~~

The complaint asserts claims for breach of fiduciary duty and gross mismanagement against all of the individual defendants and unjust enrichment against the President and Chief Executive Officer and the former executive officer based on allegations that between February 12, 2012 to October 30, 2012, the individual defendants made or caused the Company to issue false and misleading statements or failed to make adequate disclosures regarding the effects of a settlement agreement signed on February 11, 2010 between Western Union Financial Services, Inc. (“WUFSI”) and the State of Arizona regarding WUFSI's AML compliance programs along the United States and Mexico border ("Southwest Border Agreement"), including regarding the anticipated costs of compliance with the Southwest Border Agreement, potential effects on business operations, and Company projections. Plaintiff also alleges that the individual defendants caused or allowed the Company to lack requisite internal controls, caused or allowed financial statements to be misstated, and caused the Company to be subjectinformation required by this Item 1 is incorporated herein by reference to the ~~costs, expenses and liabilities associated with~~ ~~City of Taylor Police and Fire Retirement System v. The Western Union Company, et al.,~~ a lawsuit that was subsequently renamed and dismissed. Plaintiff further alleges that the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer and the former executive officer received excessive compensation based on the allegedly inaccurate financial statements. On March 12, 2014, the Court entered an order granting the parties' joint motion to stay proceedings in the case during the pendency of certain of the shareholder derivative actions described below.

~~Table of Contents~~

The claim for violations of section 14(a) of the Exchange Act includes allegations that the individual defendants caused the Company to issue proxy statements in 2012, 2013 and 2014 containing materially incomplete and inaccurate disclosures - in particular, by failing to disclose the extent to which the Company’s financial results depended on the non-compliance with AML requirements, the Board’s awareness of the regulatory and criminal enforcement actions in real time pursuant to the 2003 Consent Agreement with the California Department of Financial Institutions and that the directors were not curing violations and preventing misconduct, the extent to which the Board considered the flood of increasingly severe red flags in their determination to re-nominate certain directors to the Audit Committee between 2006 and 2010, and the extent to which the Board considered ongoing regulatory and criminal investigations in awarding multi-million dollar compensation packages to senior executives. The corporate waste claim includes allegations that the individual defendants paid or approved the payment of undeserved executive and director compensation based on the illegal conduct alleged in the consolidated complaint, which exposed the Company to civil liabilities and fines. The corporate waste claim also includes allegations that the individual defendants made improper statements and omissions, which forced the Company to expend resources in defending itself in ~~City of Taylor Police and Fire Retirement System v. The Western Union Company, et al.~~, a lawsuit that was subsequently renamed and dismissed, authorized the repurchase of over $1.565 billion of the Company’s stock at prices they knew or recklessly were aware, were artificially inflated, failed to maintain sufficient internal controls over the Company’s marketing and sales process, failed to consider the interests of the Company and its shareholders, and failed to conduct the proper supervision. The claim for unjust enrichment includes allegations that the individual defendants derived compensation, fees and other benefits from the Company and were otherwise unjustly enriched by their wrongful acts and omissions in managing the Company. The claim for breach of fiduciary duties for insider selling and misappropriation of information includes allegations that the former executive sold Company stock while knowing material, nonpublic information that would have significantly reduced the market price of the stock. On March 16, 2015, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the consolidated complaint. On March 31, 2016, the Court entered an order granting the defendants’ collective motion to dismiss without prejudice, denying as moot a separate motion to dismiss that was filed by the former executive officer, and staying the order for 30 days, within which plaintiffs could file an amended complaint that cured the defects noted in the order. On May 2, 2016, co-lead plaintiffs filed a verified amended consolidated shareholder derivative complaint naming the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, eight of its current directors (including the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, who also serves as a director) and one of its former directors as individual defendants, and the Company as a nominal defendant. The amended complaint, among other things, drops the claims against the former executive officer named in the prior complaint, realleges and narrows the breach of fiduciary duty claims, and drops the remaining claims. On June 15, 2016, defendants filed a motion to dismiss the amended consolidated shareholder derivative complaint. On August 1, 2016, plaintiffs filed an opposition to the motion to dismiss. On September 1, 2016, defendants filed a reply brief in support of the motion to dismiss. On February 24, 2017, plaintiffs filed a motion to supplement the amended complaint with allegations relating to the DPA, the criminal information filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, and the FTC’s January 19, 2017 Complaint for Permanent Injunctive and Other Equitable Relief and the Consent Order referenced in the ~~United States Department of Justice, Federal Trade Commission, Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, and State Attorneys General Settlements~~ ~~section~~discussion in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, Note ~~5, "Commitments~~6, Commitments and Contingencies." The same day, the Court granted plaintiffs’ request to supplement the complaint, ordered them to file a second amended complaint, denied without prejudice defendants’ motion to dismiss and granted defendants leave to renew the motion to dismiss. On March 17, 2017, plaintiffs filed a second amended derivative complaint. On April 21, 2017, defendants filed a motion to dismiss the second amended derivative complaint. On June 9, 2017, plaintiffs filed an opposition to defendants’ motion to dismiss the second amended derivative complaint. On July 14, 2017, defendants filed a reply in support of the motion to dismiss. On September 29, 2017, the Court granted defendants’ motion to dismiss the second amended derivative complaint. On October 25, 2017, plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal.

~~Other Matters~~

On February 10, 2015, Caryn Pincus filed a purported class action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida against Speedpay, Inc. ("Speedpay"), a subsidiary of the Company, asserting claims based on allegations that Speedpay imposed an unlawful surcharge on credit card transactions and that Speedpay engages in money transmission without a license. The complaint requests certification of a class and two subclasses generally comprised of consumers in Florida who made a payment through Speedpay’s bill payment services using a credit card and were charged a surcharge for such payment during the four-year and five-year periods prior to the filing of the complaint through the date of class certification. On April 6, 2015, Speedpay filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. On April 23, 2015, in response to the motion to dismiss, Pincus filed an amended complaint that adds claims (1) under the Florida Civil Remedies for Criminal Practices Act, which authorizes civil remedies for certain criminal conduct; and (2) for violation of the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act ("RICO"). On May 15, 2015, Speedpay filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. On October 6, 2015, the Court entered an order denying Speedpay’s motion to dismiss. On October 20, 2015, Speedpay filed an answer to the amended complaint. On December 1, 2015, Pincus filed a second amended complaint that revised her factual allegations, but added no new claims. On December 18, 2015, Speedpay filed an answer to the second amended complaint. On May 20, 2016, Speedpay filed a motion for judgment on the pleadings as to Pincus' Florida Civil Remedies for Criminal Practices Act and federal RICO claims. On June 7, 2016, Pincus filed an opposition to Speedpay's motion for judgment on the pleadings. On June 17, 2016, Speedpay filed a reply brief in support of the motion. On October 28, 2016, Pincus filed a motion seeking class certification. The motion seeks the certification of a class consisting of “All (i) persons in Florida (ii) who paid Speedpay, Inc. a fee for using Speedpay, Inc.’s electronic payment services (iii) during the five-year period prior to the filing of the complaint in this action through the present.” Pincus also filed a motion to file her motion under seal. On November 4, 2016, the Court denied Pincus’ motion for class certification without prejudice and motion to seal and ordered her to file a new motion that redacts proprietary and private information. Later that day, Pincus filed a redacted version of the motion. On November 7, 2016, Speedpay filed a motion for summary judgment on Pincus’ remaining claims. On December 15, 2016, Speedpay filed an opposition to Pincus’ class certification motion. The same day, Pincus filed an opposition to Speedpay’s summary judgment motion and requested summary judgment on her individual and class claims. On January 12, 2017, Speedpay filed a reply in support of its summary judgment motion and Pincus filed a reply in support of her class certification motion. On March 28, 2017, the Court granted Speedpay’s motion for judgment on the pleadings as to Pincus’ Florida Civil Remedies for Criminal Practices Act and federal RICO claims. On June 27, 2017, the Court granted Speedpay’s summary judgment motion, entered judgment in favor of Speedpay and ordered the Court clerk to close the case. OnJuly 5, 2017, Pincus filed a notice of appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. Due to this pending appeal, the Company is unable to predict the outcome, or the possible loss or range of loss, if any, which could be associated with this action. Speedpay intends to vigorously defend itself in this matter.

On January 26, 2017, Martin Herman filed a purported class action complaint in the United States District Court for the Central District of California against the Company, its President and Chief Executive Officer, its Chief Financial Officer, and a former executive officer of the Company, asserting claims under sections 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Securities and Exchange Commission rule 10b-5 against all defendants and a claim under section 20(a) of the Exchange Act against the individual defendants. The complaint alleges that, during the purported class period, February 24, 2012 through January 19, 2017, defendants made false or misleading statements or failed to disclose adverse material facts known to them, including those regarding: (1) the effectiveness of the Company’s fraud prevention program and the program’s compliance with applicable law and best practices; (2) the development and enhancement of the Company’s global compliance policies and AML program; and (3) the Company’s compliance with regulatory requirements. On March 6, 2017, the defendants filed a motion to transfer venue of the case to the United States District Court for the District of Colorado. The Court granted that motion on March 30, 2017, and transferred the case.

~~Table of Contents~~

On March 27, 2017, plaintiffs in the Martin Herman, Lawrence Henry Smallen and Laura Anne Smallen Revocable Living Trust, and UA Local 13 Pension Fund actions filed motions to consolidate the three cases and to be appointed lead plaintiff. On May 3, 2017, the Court granted the motion to consolidate. On September 6, 2017, the Court appointed Lawrence Henry Smallen and Laura Anne Smallen Revocable Living Trust as the lead plaintiff. On October 5, 2017, the Court dismissed the Martin Herman action at the plaintiff’s request. The consolidated action is in a preliminary stage and the Company is unable to predict the outcome, or the possible loss or range of loss, if any, which could be associated with it. The Company and the named individuals intend to vigorously defend themselves in this matter.

On February 13, 2017, the Company’s subsidiary, Western Union Payment Services Ireland Limited (“WUPSIL”), was served with a writ of accusation from the National Court of Spain. The writ charges 98 former Western Union money transfer agents or agent representatives with fraud and money laundering in connection with consumer fraud scams they allegedly perpetrated using Western Union money transfer transactions. The writ also names WUPSIL as a civil defendant, allegedly responsible under Spanish law to pay any portion of the alleged amount in victim losses that cannot be repaid by any of the criminal defendants who are convicted. The Company expects that WUPSIL will be required to guarantee or provide security to cover the alleged victim losses plus potential interest and other costs. Due to the preliminary stage of this matter, the Company is unable to predict the outcome, or the amount of loss, if any, associated with this matter.

On March 31, 2017, the Company received a request for the production of documents from the New York State Department of Financial Services (the “NYDFS”), following up on a meeting the Company had with the NYDFS on March 7, 2017. The requests pertain to the Company’s oversight of one current and two former Western Union agents located in New York state. The two former agents were identified in the DPA described in the United States Department of Justice, Federal Trade Commission, Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, and State Attorneys General Settlements section above, and were terminated as agents by the Company prior to 2013. The Company complied with all requests and produced all requested documents to the NYDFS. On July 28, 2017, the NYDFS informed the Company that the facts set forth in the DPA regarding the Company’s anti-money laundering programs over the 2004 through 2012 period give the NYDFS a basis to take additional enforcement action. The NYDFS proposed a resolution of the matter involving, among other things, a payment to the NYDFS. The Company is continuing to engage in discussions with the NYDFS in an effort to reach an appropriate resolution of this matter. Due to the stage and nature of the discussions, the Company has accrued $49 million toward a possible resolution of this matter. However, there is no certainty that the Company will be able to resolve this matter for this amount. If the matter is not settled and proceeds to civil litigation, the NYDFS would seek to impose fines, damages, or other regulatory consequences. Resolution of this matter could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flow. If the NYDFS files a complaint against the Company, the Company intends to defend itself vigorously.

~~In addition to the principal matters described above and the matters described in Part I, Item 1,~~ ~~Financial Statements~~, Note 5, "Commitments and Contingencies," the Company is a party to a variety of other legal matters that arise in the normal course of the Company's business. While the results of these other legal matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the final outcome of these matters will not have a material adverse effect either individually or in the aggregate on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes to the risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form ~~10-K~~10‑K for the year ended December 31, ~~2016, except as described below.~~

~~Western Union is the subject of consent agreements with or enforcement actions by regulators.~~

~~As further described under Part I, Item 3,~~ ~~Legal Proceedings~~, of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company recently entered into Joint Settlement Agreements with the DOJ, certain United States Attorney's Offices, the FTC, FinCEN, and various state attorneys general to resolve the respective investigations of those agencies. Under the Joint Settlement Agreements, the Company is required, among other things, to pay an aggregate amount of $586 million to the DOJ to be used to reimburse consumers who were the victims of third-party fraud conducted through the Company’s money transfer services, and retain an independent compliance auditor for three years to review and assess actions taken by the Company to further enhance its oversight of agents and protection of consumers. The Joint Settlement Agreements also require the Company to adopt certain new or enhanced practices with respect to its compliance program, relating to, among other things, consumer reimbursement, agent due diligence, agent training, monitoring, reporting, and record-keeping by the Company and its agents, consumer fraud disclosures, and agent suspensions and terminations. The changes in the Company’s compliance program required by these agreements will have adverse effects on the Company’s business, including additional costs and potential loss of business. The Company could also face actions from other regulators as a result of the Joint Settlement Agreements. For example, as further described in Part I, Item 1, ~~Financial Statements, Note 5, “Commitments and Contingencies” and Part II, Item 1, Legal Proceedings~~ ofthis Form 10-Q, on July 28, 2017, the NYDFS informed the Company that the facts set forth in the DPA regarding the Company’s anti-money laundering programs over the 2004 through 2012 period give the NYDFS a basis to take additional enforcement action. In addition, if the Company fails to comply with the Joint Settlement Agreements, it could face criminal prosecution, civil litigation, significant fines, damage awards or other regulatory consequences. Any or all of these outcomes could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

~~Western Union is the subject of litigation, including purported class action litigation, and regulatory actions, which could result in material settlements, judgments, fines or penalties.~~

As a company that provides global financial services primarily to consumers, we are subject to litigation, including purported class action litigation, and regulatory actions alleging violations of consumer protection, anti-money laundering, securities laws and other laws, both foreign and domestic. We also are subject to claims asserted by consumers based on individual transactions. There can be no guarantee that we will be successful in defending ourselves in these matters, and such failure may result in substantial fines, damages and expenses, revocation of required licenses or other limitations on our ability to conduct business. Any of these outcomes could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. Further, we believe increasingly strict legal and regulatory requirements and increased regulatory investigations and enforcement, any of which could occur or intensify as a result of the Joint Settlement Agreements, are likely to continue to result in changes to our business, as well as increased costs, supervision and examination for both ourselves and our agents and subagents. For example, as further described in Part I, Item 1, ~~Financial Statements, Note 5, “Commitments and Contingencies” and Part II, Item 1, Legal Proceedings~~ ofthis Form 10-Q, on July 28, 2017, the NYDFS informed the Company that the facts set forth in the DPA regarding the Company’s anti-money laundering programs over the 2004 through 2012 period give the NYDFS a basis to take additional enforcement action. These developments in turn may result in additional litigation, or other actions. For more information, please see Part I, Item 3, ~~Legal Proceedings~~ ~~and Part II, Item 8,~~ ~~Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, Note 5, "Commitments and Contingencies" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.~~
