Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure
At its Investor Day conference on May 28, 2008, Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. (the “Company” or “FIS”) provided financial guidance for 2008-2011 with respect to consolidated FIS and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Lender Processing Services, Inc. (“LPS”), which FIS has previously announced will be spun off to FIS shareholders. This guidance can be found in the Company’s current report on Form 8-K filed on May 28, 2008. In Item 8.01 below, FIS discloses certain information recently provided to the Company by Bank of America with respect to the scope of services that LPS will provide to Bank of America assuming completion of Bank of America’s merger with Countrywide Financial Corporation. After considering the potential impact of this information on its operations and financial performance, the Company reaffirms its previous guidance for both FIS and LPS.
Item 8.01 Other Events
Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. (the “Company”) today announced the offering by certain selling securityholders of $400 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes due 2016 (the “Notes”) of the Company’s subsidiary, Lender Processing Services, Inc. (“LPS”). LPS is the new holding company for the Company’s lender processing services operations, which, as previously announced, the Company intends to distribute to its stockholders in a tax free spin-off. The Notes will initially be issued by LPS to the Company in exchange for the contribution of lender processing assets, and then exchanged by the Company for certain of the Company’s existing bank debt with the holders thereof (the “Selling Noteholders”). The Selling Noteholders intend to offer the Notes for sale to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Company’s related press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1.
In the offering memorandum prepared in connection with the Notes offering, LPS discloses that Bank of America has informed the Company, assuming completion of Bank of America’s merger with Countrywide Financial Corporation, that it is leaning towards phasing out the mortgage processing and appraisal services that LPS provides to Bank of America and instead obtaining these services internally. These services together generated approximately 1.4% of FIS consolidated and 4% of LPS revenue in 2007. If this decision becomes final, the Company anticipates that a mortgage processing conversion would take from 12 to 30 months after completion of the merger. The Company has not received any formal notice of termination from Bank of America or been involved in any discussions with them about the mechanics or planning of a mortgage processing or appraisal conversion. It is possible that Bank of America could decide to continue its mortgage processing with LPS (due to greater efficiencies and cost savings LPS may provide as a result of its higher volumes, or due to other factors) or to continue its appraisal services with LPS (due to ramifications from the new appraisal Code of Conduct entered into by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac or other factors), although no assurance can be given in this regard. The Company is in senior-level discussions with Bank of America about the scope of services LPS will provide to them following completion of such merger and Bank of America has communicated its willingness to work with LPS to potentially expand revenue opportunities in other areas that may offset any phase-out of the mortgage processing and appraisal services.
