On December 10, 2012 (the “Effective Date”), Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that Michael D.

In connection therewith, pursuant to a Separation, Non-Competition and Release Agreement, dated as of December 10, 2012, between the Company and the Executive (the “Agreement”), on the date that is six months following the End Date, the Company will pay to the Executive a lump sum cash payment of $6,336,000, plus a 2013 pro-rated bonus for service up to and including the End Date, based on the Executive's 2013 bonus target of $937,500, as well as an amount equivalent to 36 months of premium payments for Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) coverage.

FIS Chief Financial Officer to Retire in 2013

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., December 10, 2012 - FIS™ (NYSE: FIS), the world's largest provider of banking and payments technology, announced today that Corporate Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), Michael Hayford, has informed the company of his plan to retire in 2013, following the appointment of his successor and an orderly transition of the function. Mr. Hayford has served as FIS' chief financial officer since Oct. 2009.

“Mike has contributed greatly to our company's success throughout his 20-year tenure, including his role as president and chief operating officer and other key operational posts at Metavante Technologies,” said Frank Martire, chairman and chief executive officer of FIS. “He has continued that service as CFO of FIS during a pivotal period for our company. We are fortunate to have benefited from his dedication and, particularly, from his leadership during that time. Mike made a strong contribution to the successful integration of Fidelity National Information Services and Metavante to form FIS, provided leadership in strengthening the financial operations post combination and has played a key role in executing the shift in FIS' strategy away from mergers and acquisitions to focus on organic growth. The timing of his retirement will enable a thorough transition process to his successor.”

FIS will conduct a comprehensive internal and external search for a new chief financial officer.

“I feel very fortunate to have been part of the management team that has built the number one company in our industry,” said Michael Hayford. “Over the past three years, we have dramatically improved cash flow, strengthened the balance sheet and transformed the company into a culture of organic growth. Having accomplished what we set out to do, I believe it is a good time to retire.”
