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

(2)

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

(3)

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

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

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

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

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, Holders whose Notes are accepted for purchase in the Offers will receive the applicable Total Consideration for each $1,000, €1,000 or £1,000 principal amount, as applicable, of such Notes in cash on the applicable Settlement Date.

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

The Offers are subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions as described in the Offer to Purchase. FIS reserves the right, subject to applicable law, to waive any and all conditions to any Offer. If any of the conditions is not satisfied, FIS is not obligated to accept for payment, purchase or pay for, and may delay the acceptance for payment of, any tendered notes, in each event subject to applicable laws, and may terminate or alter any or all of the Offers.
