Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

In December 2007, ACI Worldwide, Inc. (“ACI”) and International Business Machines Corporation (“IBM”) entered into a master alliance agreement. The terms of the agreement are summarized in and the agreement is filed as an exhibit to ACI’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2009. The agreement related to the joint marketing and optimization of ACI’s electronic payments application software and IBM’s hardware and software platforms and services. The stated term of the agreement was five years, subject to extension for successive two-year terms. On December 16, 2011, the parties determined that the agreement would not be extended beyond its initial five-year term. As a result, the term of the agreement will expire on December 16, 2012. Nonetheless, ACI expects to continue its relationship with IBM after 2012 and the parties are engaged in discussions regarding the terms of their relationship after December 16, 2012. There can be no assurance as to the outcome of such discussions.
