EVERTEC RECEIVES NYSE NOTICE REGARDING LATE FORM 10-K FILING

SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO – March 22, 2016 – EVERTEC, Inc. (NYSE: EVTC) (“EVERTEC” or the “Company”) announced today that, as a result of its failure to timely file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 (the “Form 10-K”), it has received a notice from the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) that the Company is not in compliance with the NYSE’s continued listing requirements under the timely filing criteria established in Section 802.01E of the NYSE Listed Company Manual.

As previously disclosed, the reason for the delay is that the Company is continuing to evaluate the accounting in prior years’ financial statements for a net operating loss tax deduction relating to certain 2010 expenditures. This tax deduction resulted in the recognition of a deferred tax asset of approximately $14 million as of December 31, 2010.

The NYSE informed the Company that, under the NYSE’s rules, the Company will have six months from March 15, 2016 to file the Form 10-K with the SEC. The Company can regain compliance with the NYSE listing standards before that deadline by filing the Form 10-K with the SEC. The Company is diligently working to complete the analysis of its prior accounting and fully expects to file the 2015 Form 10-K within the NYSE’s six-month deadline, if not sooner.
