CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE REGISTRANT

THE WESTERN UNION COMPANY
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  Basis of Presentation

The Western Union Company (the "Parent") is a holding company that conducts substantially all of its business operations through its subsidiaries. Under a parent company only presentation, the Parent's investments in its consolidated subsidiaries are presented under the equity method of accounting, and the condensed financial statements do not present the financial statements of the Parent and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with The Western Union Company's consolidated financial statements.

2.  Restricted Net Assets

Certain assets of the Parent's subsidiaries totaling approximately $265 million constitute restricted net assets, as there are legal or regulatory limitations on transferring such assets outside of the countries where the respective assets are located. Additionally, certain of the Parent's subsidiaries must meet minimum capital requirements in some countries in order to maintain operating licenses.

3.  Related Party Transactions

All transactions described below are with subsidiaries of the Parent. The Parent has issued multiple promissory notes payable to its 100% owned subsidiary First Financial Management Corporation ("FFMC") in exchange for funds distributed to the Parent. All notes pay interest at a fixed rate, may be repaid at any time without penalty and are included within "Payable to subsidiaries, net" in the Condensed Balance Sheets. These promissory notes are as follows:

(a) This note refinanced a note originally issued on a prior date.

On August 2, 2014, the Parent entered into a credit agreement (the "Facility") with its 100% owned subsidiary Custom House Holdings (USA), Ltd., which expires August 2, 2034, providing for unsecured financing facilities in an aggregate amount of $700.0 million. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, borrowings outstanding under the Facility were $232.6 million and $382.2 million, respectively. The interest rate applicable for outstanding borrowings under the Facility is the six-month LIBOR rate set on the first day of the calendar year, which was 1.84% and 0.84% for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Outstanding borrowings under the Facility are included within "Payable to subsidiaries, net" in the Condensed Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2017 and 2016.

On November 8, 2015, the Parent entered into a Revolving Credit Facility agreement (the “Revolver”) with its 100% owned subsidiary RII Holdings, Inc, which expires on November 8, 2035, providing for unsecured financing facilities in an aggregate amount of $3.0 billion. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, borrowings outstanding under the Revolver were $2.6 billion and $1.5 billion, respectively. The interest rate applicable for outstanding borrowings under the Revolver is the six-month LIBOR rate set on the first day of the calendar year, which was 1.84% and 0.84% for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Outstanding borrowings under the Revolver are included within "Payable to subsidiaries, net" in the Condensed Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2017 and 2016.




CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE REGISTRANT

THE WESTERN UNION COMPANY
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

The Parent files its United States federal consolidated income tax return on its and certain of its affiliates' behalf. Accordingly, the Parent has recorded income taxes payable on behalf of its subsidiaries, and these income taxes payable were significant in the year ended December 31, 2017 due to the enactment of the Tax Act into United States law. Effective as of December 31, 2017, the Parent made a non-cash capital contribution of $916.0 million to a subsidiary that was subject to the taxation of certain previously undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries under the Tax Act, and this contribution is reflected as a non-cash investing activity in the Condensed Statements of Cash Flows.

The Parent agreed to fund certain payments related to the Joint Settlement Agreements on behalf of its subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2017, these amounts have been paid and are reflected in operating activities in the Condensed Statements of Cash Flows. As of December 31, 2016, $591.0 million increased the Parent's investment in its subsidiaries, was included within "Accounts payable and accrued liabilities" in the Condensed Balance Sheets, and was reflected as a non-cash investing activity in the Condensed Statements of Cash Flows.

On November 30, 2017, FFMC distributed a promissory note owed by the Parent in the amount of $80.3 million, and this distribution to the Parent is reflected as a non-cash financing activity in the Condensed Statements of Cash Flows in the year ended December 31, 2017.

Excess cash generated from operations of the Parent's subsidiaries that is not required to meet certain regulatory requirements is paid periodically to the Parent and is also included within "Payable to subsidiaries, net" in the Condensed Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2017 and 2016. The Parent's subsidiaries also periodically distribute excess cash balances to the Parent in the form of a dividend, although the amounts of such dividends may vary from year to year.

The Parent files a consolidated United States federal income tax return, and also a number of consolidated state income tax returns on behalf of its subsidiaries. In these circumstances, the Parent is responsible for remitting income tax payments on behalf of the consolidated group. The Parent's provision for income taxes has been computed as if it were a separate tax-paying entity.

4.  Commitments and Contingencies

The Parent had $60.4 million in outstanding letters of credit and bank guarantees as of December 31, 2017 with expiration dates through 2020. The letters of credit and bank guarantees are primarily held in connection with certain agent agreements. The Company expects to renew the letters of credit and bank guarantees prior to expiration in most circumstances.
