Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

As described in the Information Statement (the “Information Statement”) of Teradata Corporation (“Teradata”) filed on August 31, 2007 by NCR Corporation (“NCR”) as Exhibit 99.2 to NCR’s current report on Form 8-K, and incorporated by reference in Teradata’s current report on Form 8-K as filed on September 11, 2007, on September 30, 2007, NCR expects to spin off to holders of shares of NCR common stock as of the close of business on September 14, 2007, all of NCR’s interest in Teradata, its wholly owned subsidiary (the “Spin Off”).

In connection with the Spin Off and related transactions, NCR and Teradata have entered into a Tax Separation Agreement, dated September 21, 2007, between Teradata and NCR, and an Employee Benefits Agreement, dated as of September 21, 2007, between Teradata and NCR. These agreements were filed on September 25, 2007 as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, to NCR’s current report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference. Descriptions of these agreements were set forth in the Information Statement and are incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On September 22, 2007, the Board of Directors of Teradata approved the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of Teradata (the “Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation”), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated herein by reference. NCR International, Inc., as the sole shareholder of Teradata at such time, approved the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation at a special shareholders meeting held on September 23, 2007. The effective date of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation is September 24, 2007. The amendment effects certain technical changes, including changes to clarify the operation of the provisions of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation in the event that in the future there is more than one class of stock of Teradata outstanding. For example, Article Fourth was amended to specify that a future amendment to Teradata’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation that changes only the terms of preferred stock issued hereafter need not be approved by Teradata’s common stockholders, subject to certain exceptions.

On September 22, 2007, the Board of Directors of Teradata approved an amendment to the By-laws of Teradata which provides that the deemed date of the Teradata stockholders meeting in 2007 for purposes of determining the time by which stockholders must submit notice of proposed business and director nominations for the 2008 annual stockholders meeting is April 26, 2007. A copy of the Amended and Restated By-laws of Teradata are attached hereto as Exhibit 3.2 and incorporated herein by reference.
