This Amendment No. 2 (this Amendment No. 2) amends and supplements Item 8 and Item 9 in the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on July 25, 2011, by Radiant Systems, Inc., a Georgia corporation, as amended or supplemented from time to time (the Schedule 14D-9). The Schedule 14D-9 relates to the tender offer by Ranger Acquisition Corporation, a Georgia corporation (Purchaser), a wholly owned subsidiary of NCR Corporation, a Maryland corporation (Parent), and pursuant to which Purchaser has offered to purchase all of the outstanding shares of common stock, no par value (the Shares) that are not already owned by Parent and its subsidiaries at a price of $28.00 per Share, net to the seller in cash, without interest thereon and less any applicable withholding taxes, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in Purchasers Offer to Purchase dated July 25, 2011 and the related Letter of Transmittal, as each may be amended or supplemented from time to time.
Except as otherwise set forth below, the information set forth in the Schedule 14D-9 remains unchanged and is incorporated herein by reference as relevant to items in this Amendment No. 2. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 14D-9.
Item 8. Additional Information.
Item 8 of the Schedule 14D-9 is hereby amended and supplemented by replacing the second paragraph under the heading Antitrust with the following paragraph:
Under the HSR Act, the purchase of the Shares in the Offer may not be completed until Parent files certain required information and documentary material concerning the Offer with the FTC and the Antitrust Division and the HSR Acts waiting period has expired or been terminated. The HSR Act provides for an initial 15-calendar day waiting period following receipt of the Parents filing by the FTC and Antitrust Division. If the 15th calendar day of the initial waiting period is not a business day, the initial waiting period is extended until 11:59 PM of the next business day. Under the HSR rules, the Company is also required to file certain information and documentary material concerning the Offer with the FTC and the Antitrust Division no later than 10 calendar days following Parents filing. Parent filed a Premerger Notification and Report Form with the FTC and Antitrust Division in connection with the Offer on July 15, 2011. The Company filed a Premerger Notification and Report Form with the FTC and the Antitrust Division in connection with the Offer on July 15, 2011. On July 29, 2011, the FTC and the Antitrust Division granted early termination of the HSR Act waiting period applicable to the Offer.
Item 8 of the Schedule 14D-9 is hereby amended and supplemented by replacing the fourth paragraph under the heading Antitrust with the following paragraph:
The transaction is also subject to notification and waiting period requirements under the competition laws of Turkey. The Turkish competition authoritys receipt from Parent of a complete filing concerning the transaction triggers a thirty-day waiting period. The Turkish competition authority may extend the waiting period if it determines that an in-depth investigation is required. Parent submitted a merger control filing to the Turkish competition authority in connection with the Offer on July 29, 2011.

Item 9 of the Schedule 14D-9 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following exhibit:

After due inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.

Exhibit (a)(35)
As you know, Radiant Systems is currently in a Tender Offer Period, in which NCR is offering to purchase all Radiant Systems outstanding common stock for $28 a share. As of today, we do not know when the merger will close but at the earliest, within a day or two of August 20th. More details are available in the Buzz Special Edition #3 that was sent Thursday afternoon.
So that all exercises can be accurately settled prior to close, a Trading Blackout will need to be implemented. Trading blackouts occur when all employees are restricted from exercising their options and are very typical in transactions involving public companies. With a potential close date of August 20th, a company-wide trading blackout will be necessary beginning on August 15th.
For employees who are planning to exercise any outstanding options prior to close, you will need to complete your transaction prior to August 15th. Otherwise, any outstanding options will be converted to cash once the merger closes (more information to follow on how it will be paid out as we receive the information).
Additionally, since these dates coincide with our Insider Trading Window (beginning August 1st) any insiders who plan to make a transaction during the window need to send completed Stock Transaction forms to CorporateStockAdmin@RadiantSystems.com and complete their transactions prior to August 15th.
In the event that the close is delayed, we will re-open the trading window and will communicate this information to employees as soon as possible. If you have any questions, please contact.
Thank you
