Pursuant to Rule 457(c) and Rule 457(f) under the Securities Act, and solely for the
purpose of calculating the registration fee, the market value of the securities to be received
was calculated as the product of (i) 61,555,012 shares of S1 Corporation common stock
(the sum of (x) 55,519,459 shares of S1 Corporation common stock outstanding as of August 18, 2011
and (y) 7,142,553 shares of S1 Corporation common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding
options and warrants (as reported in the Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed by S1 Corporation on
August 22, 2011), less (z) 1,107,000 shares of S1 Corporation common stock beneficially owned by
ACI Worldwide, Inc.), and (ii) the average of the high and low sales prices of shares of S1
Corporation common stock as reported on the NASDAQ Stock Market on August 26, 2011 ($8.76),
minus $381,641,074.40, the estimated maximum aggregate amount of cash to be paid by ACI
Worldwide, Inc. in the exchange offer and second-step merger. |
|
(3) |
|
The amount of the filing fee, calculated in accordance with Rule 457(c) and Rule
457(f) under the Securities Act, equals 0.00011610 multiplied by the proposed maximum
offering price. |
The Registrant hereby amends this Registration Statement on such date or dates as may be
necessary to delay its effective date until the Registrant shall file a further amendment which
specifically states that this Registration Statement shall thereafter become effective in
accordance with Section 8(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 or until the Registration Statement
shall become effective on such date as the Commission, acting pursuant to said Section 8(a), may
determine.
The information in this prospectus/offer to exchange may change. The registrant may not
complete the Exchange Offer and issue these securities until the registration statement filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission is effective. This prospectus/offer to exchange is not an
offer to sell these securities and ACI and Antelope Investment Co. LLC are not soliciting an offer

Offer to Exchange
Each Outstanding Share of Common Stock
of
S1 CORPORATION
for
0.2800 of a Share of ACI Common Stock
or
$10.00 in Cash,
subject to the proration procedures described in this prospectus/offer
to exchange and the related letter of election and transmittal,
by
ANTELOPE INVESTMENT CO. LLC
a wholly-owned subsidiary of
ACI WORLDWIDE, INC.
Antelope Investment Co. LLC (Offeror), a Delaware limited liability company and a
wholly-owned subsidiary of ACI Worldwide, Inc., a Delaware corporation, which we refer to as ACI
or we, us or our, is offering, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this
prospectus/offer to exchange and in the accompanying letter of election and transmittal, to
exchange for each issued and outstanding share of common stock of S1 Corporation (S1), par value
$0.01 per share (the S1 Shares), validly tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer and not properly
withdrawn either of the following:
|
|
|
0.2800 of a share of ACI common stock (the ACI Shares), par value $0.005 per share
(the Stock Consideration); or |
|
|
|
|
$10.00 in cash, without interest (the Cash Consideration), |
subject to the proration procedures described in this prospectus/offer to exchange and the related
letter of election and transmittal (together, as each may be amended, supplemented or otherwise
modified from time to time, the Exchange Offer).
You should be aware that the $10.00 per share Cash Consideration will have a value greater
than the 0.2800 per share Stock Consideration if market prices for
ACI Shares are less than $35.70
per share. Furthermore, as explained below, if more than 62.0% of S1 Shares elect to receive cash,
the proration procedures will result in some of those shares receiving stock. Conversely, if more
than 38.0% of S1 Shares elect to receive stock, the proration procedures will result in some of
those shares receiving cash. Based on the closing sales price for ACI
Shares on August 29, 2011, the last trading day prior to the
commencement of the Exchange Offer and assuming the 38.0% Stock
Consideration and the 62.0% Cash
Consideration were allocated pro rata among all S1 Shares, which we refer to herein as full
proration, the blended value of the Cash Consideration and the Stock Consideration (together, the
Cash-Stock Consideration) as of the close of trading on
August 29, 2011 was $9.44 per S1 Share.
If market
prices for ACI Shares upon consummation of the Exchange Offer are less than $38.75,
the Stock Consideration may be taxable to you, and would be taxable
based on the trading price for ACI Shares on August 29, 2011, the
last trading day prior to the commencement of the Exchange Offer. You are urged to obtain current trading price
information prior to making any decision with respect to the Exchange Offer.
i
On July 26, 2011, ACI publicly announced its proposal to combine the businesses of ACI and S1
through a merger transaction in which ACI would acquire all of the issued and outstanding S1 Shares
in a cash and stock transaction (the Original ACI Merger
Proposal). Based on the $35.70 closing
trading price per ACI Share on July 25, 2011, the last trading day prior to the Original ACI Merger
Proposal, the relative value of the Cash-Stock Consideration
reflected in the Original ACI Merger
Proposal as of such date consisted of $5.70 in cash and $3.80 in ACI Shares per S1 Share (or an
implied exchange ratio of 0.1064 shares), assuming full proration, or
an aggregate value of $9.50
per S1 Share. On August 2, 2011, S1 announced that the S1 Board had rejected the Original ACI
Merger Proposal.
On August 25, 2011, ACI publicly announced an increase in the cash consideration payable under
the Original ACI Merger Proposal by $0.50 per share (which, based on the closing trading prices as
of July 26, 2011, the date of the Original ACI Merger Proposal, would result in a blended value,
assuming full proration, of $10.00 per S1 Share) (the Enhanced ACI Merger Proposal). Under the
Enhanced ACI Merger Proposal and this Exchange Offer, based on the reported 55.5 million S1 Shares
outstanding, ACI would exchange approximately $344.2 million cash and 5.9 million ACI Shares, of
which approximately 34.4 million S1 Shares (62.0%) would be exchanged for the Cash Consideration
and the remaining approximately 21.1 million S1 Shares (38.0%) would be exchanged for the Stock
Consideration, or an implied exchange ratio of 0.2800 of an ACI Share per S1 Share.
Based on
the $30.49 closing trading price per ACI Share on August 29, 2011, the last trading
day prior to this Exchange Offer, the relative value of the Cash-Stock Consideration reflected by
this Exchange Offer consisted of $6.20 in cash and $3.24 in ACI Shares per S1 Share as of such
date, or an aggregate blended value of $9.44 per S1 Share as of such date, assuming full proration.
ACI, through Offeror, is making the Exchange Offer directly to S1 stockholders on the terms and conditions set forth
in this prospectus/offer to exchange as an alternative to the Enhanced ACI Merger Proposal.
At
the $9.44 per S1 Share value of the Cash-Stock Consideration as of
August 29, 2011, the
Exchange Offer represented (1) a 32.4% premium to the closing sales price of S1 Shares on July 25,
2011, the last trading day prior to the public announcement of the Original ACI Merger Proposal,
(2) a 30.9% premium to the volume weighted average closing price of S1 Shares over the previous 90
days prior to the announcement of the Original ACI Merger Proposal,
and (3) a 21.8% premium to the
52-week high of S1 Shares for the 52-week period ending July 25,
2011. The equity capital markets
have been highly volatile since July 26, 2011 and market prices for ACI Shares and S1 Shares have
fluctuated and can be expected to continue to fluctuate. S1 stockholders are urged to obtain
current trading price information prior to making any decision with
respect to the Exchange Offer.
S1 stockholders electing either the Cash Consideration or the Stock Consideration will be
subject to proration so that 62.0% of S1 Shares will be exchanged for the Cash Consideration and
38.0% of S1 Shares will be exchanged for the Stock Consideration in the Exchange Offer. S1
stockholders who do not participate in the Exchange Offer and whose shares are acquired in the
Second-Step Merger will receive $6.20 in cash, without interest, and 0.1064 of an ACI Share (the
Proration Amount of Cash and Stock Consideration). The elections of other S1 stockholders will
affect whether a tendering S1 stockholder electing the Cash Consideration or the Stock
Consideration receives solely the type of consideration elected or if a portion of such S1
stockholders tendered S1 Shares is exchanged for another form of consideration. S1 stockholders
who otherwise would be entitled to receive a fractional ACI Share will instead receive cash in lieu
of any fractional ACI Share such holder may have otherwise been entitled to receive based on
then-current trading prices. See The Exchange OfferElections and Proration for a
description of the proration procedure and The Exchange OfferCash In Lieu of Fractional ACI
Common Stock for a description of the treatment of fractional ACI Shares.
ACI is not asking you for a proxy and you are not requested to send a proxy to ACI pursuant to
the Exchange Offer. However, in connection with the Exchange Offer, effective as of ACIs
acceptance of S1 Shares for purchase pursuant to the Exchange Offer, tendering stockholders will be
deemed to have assigned to ACI all voting rights with respect to the S1 Shares accepted for
purchase pursuant to the Exchange Offer, which if applicable ACI intends to use to vote against
each of the stockholder proposals set forth in S1s proxy statement dated August 19, 2011 in
respect of the special meeting of S1 stockholders (the S1 Special Stockholder Meeting) currently
scheduled for September 22, 2011 to approve the transactions contemplated by the Fundtech Merger
Agreement (as defined below) (collectively, the Fundtech Merger Proposals).
THE
EXCHANGE OFFER AND THE WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS WILL EXPIRE AT 5:00 P.M.,
EASTERN TIME, ON WEDNESDAY,
SEPTEMBER 28, 2011, OR THE EXPIRATION TIME, UNLESS EXTENDED. S1 SHARES TENDERED PURSUANT TO THE
EXCHANGE OFFER MAY BE WITHDRAWN AT ANY TIME PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION TIME, BUT NOT DURING ANY
SUBSEQUENT OFFERING PERIOD.
ACI Shares are listed on The NASDAQ Global Select Market under the ticker symbol ACIW. S1
Shares are listed on The NASDAQ Stock Market under the ticker symbol SONE.
FOR A DISCUSSION OF RISKS AND OTHER FACTORS THAT YOU SHOULD CONSIDER IN CONNECTION WITH THE
EXCHANGE OFFER, PLEASE CAREFULLY READ THE SECTION OF THIS PROSPECTUS/OFFER TO EXCHANGE TITLED RISK
FACTORS BEGINNING ON PAGE 37.
Offerors obligation to accept S1 Shares for exchange and to exchange any S1 Shares for ACI
Shares is subject to conditions, including (1) a condition that S1 stockholders shall have validly
tendered and not withdrawn prior to the Expiration Time at least that number of S1 Shares that,
when added to the S1 Shares then owned by ACI or any of its
subsidiaries, constitutes a
majority of the then-outstanding number of S1 Shares on a fully diluted basis (the Minimum Tender
Condition), (2) a condition (the
Fundtech Merger Agreement Condition) that S1 stockholders shall have voted against the issuance of S1
Shares pursuant to the Fundtech Merger Agreement at a duly convened stockholders meeting
and that the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated as of
June 26, 2011 (the Fundtech Merger Agreement), by and among S1, a Delaware corporation, Finland
Holdings (2011) Ltd., a company organized under the laws of Israel and a wholly owned subsidiary of
S1, and Fundtech Ltd., a company organized under the laws of Israel (Fundtech), has been
terminated (the proposed merger of S1 and Fundtech pursuant to the
Fundtech Merger Agreement, the
Proposed Fundtech Merger), and (3) a condition that Section 203 of the Delaware
General Corporation Law be inapplicable to the Exchange Offer and the Second-Step Merger (the
Delaware 203 Condition). The Exchange Offer is subject to
other conditions including the expiration or termination of the
waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act
of 1976, as amended (the HSR Act). The Exchange Offer is not
conditioned on financing. The conditions to
the Exchange Offer are described in the section of this prospectus/offer to exchange titled The
Exchange OfferConditions of the Exchange Offer.
Neither ACI nor Offeror has authorized any person to provide any information or to make any
representation in connection with the Exchange Offer other than the information contained or
incorporated by reference in this prospectus/offer to exchange and the accompanying letter of
election and transmittal, and if any person provides any of this information or makes any
representation of this kind, that information or representation must not be relied upon as having
been authorized by ACI.
As described in this prospectus/offer to exchange, ACI is separately soliciting proxies
against the Fundtech Merger Proposals at the S1 Special Stockholder Meeting. In addition, ACI
reserves the right to solicit proxies or consents to cause the S1 Board to be reconstituted with
director nominees proposed by ACI independently of or in connection with the Exchange Offer. Any
such proxy solicitation will be made only pursuant to separate proxy materials in accordance with
the requirements of the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, which we
refer to as the SEC. See the section of this prospectus/offer to exchange titled Solicitation
of Proxies.
Neither the SEC nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these
securities or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this prospectus/offer to exchange. Any
representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

The date
of this prospectus/offer to exchange is August 30, 2011.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE EXCHANGE OFFER
Below are some of the questions that you as a holder of S1 Shares may have regarding the
Exchange Offer and answers to those questions. The answers to these questions do not contain all
the information relevant to your decision whether to tender your S1 Shares in the Exchange Offer,
and ACI urges you to read carefully the remainder of this prospectus/offer to exchange and the
letter of election and transmittal circulated with this prospectus/offer to exchange.
Who is making the Exchange Offer?
The Exchange Offer is being made by ACI, a Delaware corporation, through its wholly-owned
subsidiary, Antelope Investment Co. LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. ACI develops,
markets, installs and supports a broad line of software products and services primarily focused on
facilitating electronic payments. In addition to ACIs own products, it also distributes, or acts
as a sales agent for, software developed by third parties. These products and services are used
principally by financial institutions, retailers and electronic payment processors, both in
domestic and international markets. Most of ACIs products are sold and supported through
distribution networks covering three geographic regions the Americas, Europe/Middle East/Africa
and Asia/Pacific. Each distribution network has its own sales force that it supplements with
independent reseller and/or distributor networks. ACIs products are marketed under the ACI
Worldwide and ACI Payment Systems brands.
What is Offeror seeking for exchange in the Exchange Offer?
Offeror seeks to acquire all of the issued and outstanding S1 Shares.
What will I receive for my S1 Shares in the Exchange Offer?
ACI is offering to exchange for each issued and outstanding S1 Share validly tendered pursuant
to the Exchange Offer and not properly withdrawn either of the following:
|
|
|
0.2800 of an ACI Share (Stock Consideration); or |
|
|
|
$10.00 in cash, without interest (Cash Consideration), |
subject to the proration procedures described in this prospectus/offer to exchange and the related
letter of election and transmittal.
You should be aware that the $10.00 per share Cash Consideration will have a value greater than the
0.2800 per share Stock Consideration if market prices for ACI Shares are less than $35.70 per
share. Furthermore, as explained below, if more than 62.0% of S1 Shares elect to receive cash, the
proration procedures will result in some of those shares receiving stock. Conversely, if more than
38.0% of S1 Shares elect to receive stock, the proration procedures will result in some of those
shares receiving cash. Based on the closing sales price for ACI
Shares on August 29, 2011, the
last trading day prior to the commencement of the Exchange Offer and assuming the 38.0% Stock
Consideration and the 62.0% Cash Consideration were allocated pro rata among all S1 Shares, which
we refer to herein as full proration, the blended value of the Cash-Stock Consideration as of the
close of trading on August 29, 2011 was $9.44 per S1 Share.
Assuming 55.5 million S1 Shares outstanding (the number reflected in S1s most recent filing
with the SEC), ACI would exchange approximately $344.2 million cash and 5.9 million ACI Shares, of
which, assuming full proration, approximately 34.4 million S1 Shares (62.0%) would be exchanged for the Cash Consideration
and the remaining approximately 21.1 million S1 Shares (38.0%) would be exchanged for the Stock
Consideration, or an implied exchange ratio of 0.2800 of an ACI Share per S1 Share. S1
stockholders electing either the Cash Consideration or the Stock Consideration will be subject to
proration so that 62.0% of S1 Shares will be exchanged for the Cash Consideration and 38.0% of S1
Shares will be exchanged for the Stock Consideration in the Exchange Offer (the Proration
Amount). S1 stockholders who do not participate in the Exchange Offer and whose shares are
acquired in the Second-Step Merger will receive the Proration Amount of Cash and Stock
Consideration. The elections of other S1 stockholders will affect whether a tendering S1
stockholder electing the Cash Consideration or the Stock Consideration receives solely the type of
consideration elected or if a portion of such S1 stockholders tendered S1 Shares is exchanged for
another form of consideration. S1 stockholders who otherwise would be entitled to receive a
fractional ACI Share will instead receive cash in lieu of any fractional ACI Share such holder may
have otherwise been entitled to receive based on then-current trading prices. See The Exchange
OfferElections and Proration for a detailed description of the proration procedure and The
Exchange OfferCash In Lieu of Fractional ACI Shares for a detailed description of the treatment
of fractional ACI Shares.

ACI believes that the value per S1 Share in the Exchange Offer is substantially higher than the
trading prices for S1 Shares after the announcement of the Proposed Fundtech Merger. On June 24,
2011, the last trading day prior to the announcement of the Fundtech Merger Agreement, the closing
sales price of S1 Shares as reported by the NASDAQ Market was $7.54 per share. The closing sales
price for S1 Shares declined on June 27, 2011, the day that the Fundtech Merger Agreement was
announced, to $7.26 per share. During the period from June 27, 2011 to July 25, 2011, the last
trading day prior to the announcement of the Original ACI Merger Proposal, the closing sales price
for S1 Shares further declined 1.8% to $7.13 per share, and its volume weighted average closing
sales price over this period was $7.25 per share. This compares to an increase of 4.5% for the S&P
500 Index over the same period. ACI believes that the increase in trading prices was primarily attributable to
the Original ACI Merger Proposal.
Based
on the $30.49 closing
trading price per ACI Share on August 29, 2011, the last trading
day prior to this Exchange Offer, the relative value of the Cash-Stock Consideration reflected by
this Exchange Offer consisted of $6.20 in cash and $3.24 in ACI Shares per S1 Share as of such
date, or an aggregate value of $9.44 per S1 Share as of such date, assuming full proration. At the
$9.44 per S1 Share value of the Cash-Stock Consideration as of
August 29, 2011, the Exchange Offer
represented (1) a 32.4% premium to the closing sales price of S1 Shares on July 25, 2011, the last
trading day prior to the public announcement of the Original ACI
Merger Proposal, (2) a 30.9%
premium to the volume weighted average closing price of S1 Shares over the previous 90 days prior
to the announcement of the Original ACI Merger Proposal, and
(3) a 21.8% premium to the 52-week
high of S1 Shares for the 52-week period ending July 25, 2011.
The equity capital markets have been highly volatile since July 26, 2011 and market prices for
ACI Shares have fluctuated and will fluctuate, and could be higher or lower than the price of ACI
Shares at or after the Expiration Time. Accordingly, S1 stockholders are urged to obtain current
trading price information for ACI Shares prior to deciding whether to tender shares pursuant to the
Exchange Offer, whether to exercise withdrawal rights as provided herein and, with respect to the
election, whether to receive the Cash Consideration or the Stock Consideration or some combination
thereof.
Solely for
purposes of illustration, the following table indicates the value of the Cash Consideration, the Stock
Consideration and the blended value of the Cash-Stock Consideration based on different assumed
prices for ACI Shares:

The prices of ACI Shares used in the above table, and the assumptions regarding the mix of
cash and/or stock a hypothetical S1 stockholder would receive, are for purposes of illustration
only. The value of the Stock Consideration will change as the price of ACI Shares fluctuates
during the Exchange Offer period and thereafter, and may therefore be higher or lower than the
prices set forth in the examples above at the expiration of the Exchange Offer and at the time you
receive the ACI Shares. S1s stockholders are encouraged to obtain current market quotations for
the ACI Shares and the S1 Shares prior to making any decision with respect to the Exchange
2
Offer. S1 stockholders should also consider the potential effects of proration and should obtain
current market quotations for ACI Shares and the S1 Shares before deciding whether to tender
pursuant to the Exchange Offer and before electing the form of consideration they wish to receive.
Please also see the section of this prospectus/offer to exchange entitled Risk Factors.
Will I be taxed on the ACI Shares and cash I receive?
Based on closing trading prices of ACI Shares as of the date of this prospectus/offer to
exchange, the Exchange Offer would be taxable to you.
If the Exchange Offer
and the Second-Step
Merger qualified as component parts of an integrated transaction that constitutes a reorganization
within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
Internal Revenue Code), your exchange of S1 Shares for the Stock Consideration should be tax
free, except to the extent that
you also receive cash. Whether or not such transactions will so qualify is dependent on whether certain factual
requirements are met, including that the Exchange Offer and Second-Step Merger are
interdependent (that is, ACI would not undertake the Exchange Offer without the intention and
expectation of completing the Second-Step Merger). In addition, there must be a continuity of
interest of holders of S1 Shares in the combined company. ACI believes that this test should be satisfied if
the total value of the Stock Consideration represents at least 40% of the total value of the
consideration received by holders of S1 Shares, and may be satisfied at a slightly lower percentage. If market
prices for ACI Shares upon consummation
of the Exchange Offer are less than $38.75, the Stock Consideration would represent less than 40%
of the total value of the Exchange Offer consideration. You are urged to obtain current trading
price information prior to making any decision with respect to the Exchange Offer. We cannot
provide any assurance as to whether these conditions will be satisfied at this time, since it may
be affected, among other things, by the total value of the Stock Consideration at the time of the
consummation of the Exchange Offer and the Second-Step Merger.
If the integrated
transaction does not qualify as a reorganization, your
exchange of S1 Shares
for the Stock Consideration in the Exchange Offer or the Second-Step Merger could be a taxable
transaction, depending on the surrounding facts. If the integrated transaction constitutes a
reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, any gain (but not
loss) you realize on the transaction will be treated as a taxable capital gain or dividend in an
amount equal to the lesser of (1) the excess of the sum of the Cash Consideration and the fair
market value of the Stock Consideration you receive in the transaction over your basis in your
shares and (2) the amount of cash you receive in the transaction, including any cash you receive in
lieu of a fractional ACI Share, depending on your circumstances. If the offer does not constitute
part of an integrated transaction that qualifies as a reorganization within the meaning of Section
368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, you will recognize a capital gain or a capital loss to the
extent of the difference between your adjusted tax basis in your shares and the sum of the Cash
Considerations and the fair market value of the Stock Consideration you receive. For more
information, please see the section of this prospectus/offer to exchange titled The Exchange
OfferCertain Material Federal Income Tax Consequences.
ACI urges you to contact your own tax advisor to determine the particular tax consequences to
you as a result of the Exchange Offer and/or the Second-Step Merger.
What is the Exchange Offer worth today?
The value of the Exchange
Offer depends in part on market prices for ACI Shares. You should
be aware that the $10.00 per share Cash Consideration will have a value greater than the 0.2800 per
share Stock Consideration if market prices for ACI Shares are less than $35.70 per share. As of
the close of trading on August 29, 2011, the most recent date prior to the commencement of the Exchange Offer, the
blended value of the Cash-Stock Consideration, assuming full
proration, was $9.44 per S1 Share. When we say full proration, we mean that the 38.0% Stock
Consideration and the 62.0% Cash Consideration were allocated pro rata among all S1 Shares. As
explained herein, if more than 62.0% of S1 Shares elect to receive cash, the proration procedures
will result in some of those shares receiving stock. Conversely, if more than 38.0% of S1 Shares
elect to receive stock, the proration procedures will result in some of those shares receiving
cash.
What has ACI proposed to the S1 Board?
On July 26, 2011, ACI publicly announced its proposal to combine the businesses of ACI and S1
through a merger transaction in which ACI would acquire all of the issued and outstanding S1 Shares
in a cash and stock
3
transaction.
Based on the $35.70 closing trading price per ACI Share on July 25, 2011, the
last trading day prior to the Original ACI Merger Proposal, the relative value of the cash-stock
consideration reflected by the Original ACI Merger Proposal as of such date consisted of $5.70 in
cash and $3.80 in ACI Shares per S1 Share (or an implied exchange ratio of 0.1064 shares), assuming
full proration, or an aggregate value of $9.50 per S1 Share. On August 2, 2011, S1 announced that
the S1 Board had rejected the Original ACI Merger Proposal.
On August 25, 2011, ACI publicly announced the Enhanced ACI Merger Proposal, increasing the
cash consideration payable under the Original ACI Merger Proposal by
$0.50 per share, assuming full proration (which, based
on the closing trading prices as of July 26, 2011, the date of the Original ACI Merger Proposal,
would result in a blended value, assuming full proration, of $10.00 per S1 Share).
Based
on the $30.49 closing trading price per ACI Share on August 29, 2011, the last trading
day prior to this Exchange Offer, the relative value of the
Cash-Stock Consideration reflected by
this Exchange Offer consisted of $6.20 in cash and $3.24 in ACI Shares per S1 Share as of such
date, or an aggregate blended value of $9.44 per S1 Share as of such date, assuming full proration.
ACI is making the Exchange Offer directly to S1 stockholders on the terms and conditions set forth
in this prospectus/offer to exchange as an alternative to the Enhanced ACI Merger Proposal.
When it made the Original ACI Merger Proposal to S1, ACI stated that it is prepared to enter
into a merger agreement with S1 that includes substantially similar non-price terms and conditions
to the Fundtech Merger Agreement and delivered to the S1 Board a merger agreement reflecting such
terms and conditions.
The equity capital markets have been highly volatile since July 26, 2011 and market prices for ACI Shares have fluctuated and will fluctuate, and could be higher or lower than the price of ACI Shares at or after the Expiration Time. Accordingly, S1 stockholders are urged to obtain current trading price information for ACI Shares prior to deciding whether to tender shares pursuant
to the Exchange Offer, whether to exercise withdrawal rights as
provided herein and, with respect to the election, whether to receive
the Cash Consideration or the Stock Consideration or some combination
thereof.
Have you discussed the Exchange Offer with the S1 Board?
No,
we have not, although we would prefer to discuss our proposal with S1. S1 announced on August 2, 2011 that the S1 Board would not discuss our
July 26, 2011 proposal with us based on the S1 Boards determination that pursuing discussions with
ACI at this time is not in the best financial or strategic interests of S1 and its stockholders.
Because S1 has not begun negotiations with us despite our request to do so, we made this Exchange Offer
without discussing it with S1.
ACI reserves
the right to solicit proxies or consents to cause the S1 Board to be reconstituted with director
nominees proposed by ACI independently of or in connection with the Exchange Offer. Any such
proxy solicitation will be made only pursuant to separate proxy materials in accordance with
the rules and regulations of the SEC.
What is the purpose of the Exchange Offer?
The Exchange Offer is intended to allow ACI, through Offeror, to acquire all of the issued and
outstanding S1 Shares. In connection with consummation of the Exchange Offer, and subject to
applicable law, ACI currently expects to replace the existing S1 Board or increase the size of the
S1 Board and elect ACI nominees who would in the aggregate constitute a majority of the members of
the S1 Board.
We intend, as promptly as possible after completion of the Exchange Offer, to consummate a
Second-Step Merger of S1 with and into Offeror (the Second-Step Merger) pursuant to the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as amended (the DGCL). The purpose of the Second-Step
Merger is for ACI to acquire all outstanding S1 Shares that are not acquired in the Exchange Offer.
In this Second-Step Merger, each remaining S1 Share (other than shares held in treasury by S1 and
other than shares held by S1 stockholders who properly exercise applicable dissenters rights under
Delaware law) would be cancelled and exchanged for the Proration Amount of Cash and Stock
Consideration. After this Second-Step Merger, ACI would own all of the issued and outstanding S1
Shares. Please see the sections of this prospectus/offer to exchange titled The Exchange
OfferPurpose and Structure of the Exchange Offer; The Exchange OfferSecond-Step Merger; and
The Exchange OfferPlans for S1.
Why is the Exchange Offer superior to the Proposed Fundtech Merger?
ACI believes that the Exchange Offer is superior to the Proposed Fundtech Merger
notwithstanding the S1 Boards rejection of the Original ACI Merger Proposal because it provides
greater and more certain value than the Proposed Fundtech Merger. Among other things, in the
Exchange Offer, 62.0% of S1 Shares would be exchanged for cash. The Proposed Fundtech Merger
provides no cash to S1 stockholders. However, 38.0% of the consideration in the Exchange Offer is
in the form of ACI Shares, and there necessarily can be no assurance as to its future value. See
the section of this prospectus/offer to exchange titled Risk
Factors. For more details regarding
the reasons for
4
the Exchange Offer, please see the section of this prospectus/offer to exchange titled The
Proposed Acquisition, Background and Reasons for the Exchange OfferReasons for the Exchange
Offer.
In
addition, ACI believes that the value per S1 Share in the Exchange
Offer is substantially
higher than the trading prices for S1 Shares after the announcement of the Proposed Fundtech
Merger. On June 24, 2011, the last trading day prior to the announcement of the Fundtech Merger
Agreement, the closing sales price of S1 Shares as reported by the NASDAQ Market was $7.54 per
share. The closing sales price for S1 Shares declined on June 27, 2011, the day that the Fundtech
Merger Agreement was announced, to $7.26 per share. During the period from June 27, 2011 to July
25, 2011, the last trading day prior to the announcement of the Original ACI Merger Proposal, the
closing sales price for S1 Shares further declined 1.8% to $7.13 per share, and its volume weighted
average closing sales price over this period was $7.25 per share. This compares to an increase of
4.5% for the S&P 500 Index over the same period. ACI believes
that the increase in trading prices was primarily attributable to the
Original ACI Merger Proposal.
At
$9.44 per S1 Share, the blended value of the Cash-Stock Consideration
as of August 29,
2011, assuming full proration, the Exchange Offer represents
(1) a 32.4% premium to the closing
sales price of S1 Shares on July 25, 2011, the last trading day prior to the public announcement of
the Original ACI Merger Proposal, (2) a 30.9% premium to the volume weighted average closing price
of S1 Shares over the previous 90 days prior to the announcement of the Original ACI Merger
Proposal, and (3) a 21.8% premium to the 52-week high of S1 Shares for the 52-week period ending
July 25, 2011.
When do you expect the Exchange Offer to be completed?
We intend to complete the Exchange Offer as soon as we can. The Expiration Time of the
Exchange Offer is 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on September 28, 2011, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to
the Exchange Offer. As discussed in The Exchange OfferExtension, Termination and Amendment,
Offeror can extend the Expiration Time if such conditions are not satisfied, or amend the terms of the Exchange Offer.
What are the conditions of the Exchange Offer?
The Exchange Offer is conditioned upon, among other things, the following:
|
|
|
S1 stockholders shall have validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the
Expiration Time at least that number of S1 Shares that, when added to the S1 Shares
then owned by ACI, Offeror or any of ACIs other subsidiaries, shall constitute a
majority of the then-outstanding number of S1 Shares on a fully diluted basis. We
refer to this condition as the Minimum Tender Condition. |
|
|
|
S1 stockholders
shall have voted against the issuance of S1 Shares pursuant to the Fundtech Merger
Agreement at a duly convened meeting of S1 stockholders, and the Fundtech Merger Agreement
shall have been validly terminated and ACI shall reasonably
believe that S1 has no liability, and Fundtech shall not have asserted any claim of
liability or breach against S1 in connection with the Fundtech Merger Agreement, other
than with respect to the possible payment of a maximum of $14.6 million in the
aggregate in termination fees and reimbursement of permitted Fundtech expenses
thereunder, which we refer to in the aggregate as the Fundtech termination fee. We
refer to this condition as the Fundtech Merger Agreement Condition. |
|
|
|
The S1 Board shall have approved the acquisition of the S1 Shares pursuant to the
Exchange Offer and Second-Step Merger under Section 203 of the DGCL, or ACI shall be
satisfied that Section 203 of the DGCL does not apply to or otherwise restrict such
acquisition. We refer to this condition as the Delaware 203 Condition. |
|
|
|
The registration statement of which this prospectus/offer to exchange is a part
shall have become effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
Securities Act), no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the registration
statement shall have been issued and no proceedings for that purpose shall have been
initiated or threatened by the SEC, and ACI shall have received all necessary state
securities law or blue sky authorizations. |
|
|
|
The ACI Shares to be issued to S1 stockholders as a portion of the Exchange Offer
consideration in exchange for S1 Shares in the Exchange Offer and the Second-Step
Merger shall have been authorized for listing on the NASDAQ Global Select Market,
subject to official notice of issuance. |
5
|
|
|
There shall be no threatened or pending litigation, suit, claim, action, proceeding
or investigation by or before any Governmental Authority that, in the judgment of ACI,
is reasonably expected to, directly or indirectly, restrain or prohibit (or which
alleges a violation of law in connection with) the Exchange Offer or the Second-Step
Merger, is reasonably expected to prohibit or limit the full rights of ownership of
S1 Shares by ACI or any of its affiliates or is reasonably likely to
result in a material liability imposed on S1 or ACI. |
|
|
|
Since December 31, 2010, there shall not have been any event, change, effect,
development, condition or occurrence that, in the reasonable judgment
of ACI, is materially adverse on or with respect to
the business, financial condition or continuing results of operations of S1 and its
subsidiaries, taken as a whole. |
|
|
|
Each of S1 and its subsidiaries shall have carried on their respective businesses in
the ordinary course consistent with past practice at all times on or after December 31,
2010 and prior to the Expiration Time. |
|
|
|
Any applicable waiting period under the HSR Act, and, if applicable, any agreement with the Federal
Trade Commission (the FTC) or the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of
Justice (the Antitrust Division) not to accept S1 Shares for exchange in the
Exchange Offer, shall have expired or shall have been terminated prior to the
Expiration Time. |
|
|
|
Any clearance, approval, permit, authorization, waiver, determination, favorable
review or consent of any Governmental Authority, other than in connection with the
matters set forth in the foregoing bullet point, shall have been obtained and such
approvals shall be in full force and effect, or any applicable waiting periods for such
clearances or approvals shall have expired. |
The
Exchange Offer is not conditioned on financing. The Exchange Offer is subject to additional conditions referred to in the section of this
prospectus/offer to exchange titled The Exchange OfferConditions of the Exchange Offer,
including that S1 stockholders shall not have adopted the Fundtech Merger Proposals, that there
shall have been no business combination consummated between S1 and Fundtech and that the S1 Board
shall not have adopted a stockholder rights plan or similar plan.
Subject to applicable law, we may waive certain of the foregoing conditions, including the
Fundtech Merger Agreement Condition and the Delaware 203 Condition. Whether or not we will waive
any condition will depend on future circumstances, including the number of S1 Shares tendered
pursuant to the Exchange Offer and actions taken by S1, the S1 Board and the S1 stockholders.
What actions do you propose to take with respect to the Proposed Fundtech Merger?
ACI has filed a proxy statement in connection with the solicitation of proxies from S1
stockholders to vote against the adoption of the Fundtech Merger Proposals.
The Exchange Offer does not constitute a solicitation of proxies in connection with such
matters. Any such solicitation will be made only pursuant to the separate proxy solicitation in
accordance with the requirements of the rules and regulations of the SEC.
How does the Exchange Offer relate to the Enhanced ACI Merger Proposal?
On July 26, 2011, ACI publicly announced the Original ACI Merger Proposal to combine the
businesses of ACI and S1 through a merger transaction in which ACI would acquire all of the issued
and outstanding S1 Shares in a cash and stock transaction valued at $9.50 per S1 Share. On August
2, 2011, S1 announced that the S1 Board had rejected the Original ACI Merger Proposal. On August
25, 2011, ACI publicly announced the Enhanced ACI Merger Proposal, which provides for an increase
in the cash consideration payable under the Original ACI Merger
Proposal by $0.50 per S1 Share, assuming full proration. Based on the
closing sales price for ACI Shares on August 29, 2011, the last
trading day prior to the commencement of the Exchange Offer, the
blended value of the Cash-Stock Consideration as of the close of
trading on August 29, 2011 was $9.44 per S1 Share, assuming full
proration.
ACI would prefer to acquire S1 in a merger transaction of the type contemplated by the
Enhanced ACI Merger Proposal. However, in light of the S1 Boards rejection of the Original ACI
Merger Proposal, ACI, through Offeror, is making the Exchange Offer directly to S1 stockholders on the terms and
conditions set forth in this prospectus/offer
6
to exchange as an alternative to the Enhanced ACI
Merger Proposal. The amount of cash and the number of ACI Shares offered in this Exchange Offer
are the same as in the Enhanced ACI Merger Proposal.
If the Exchange Offer is completed and ACI acquires a majority of the outstanding S1 Shares,
subject to applicable law, ACI currently expects to seek to replace the existing S1 Board or
increase the size of the S1 Board and elect ACI nominees who would in the aggregate constitute a
majority of the members of the S1 Board. See Appendix A to this prospectus/offer exchange for
information as to the individuals, all of whom are currently directors or officers of ACI, that ACI
currently expects it would propose to elect to the S1 Board. In the event that ACI accepts S1
Shares for exchange in the Exchange Offer, ACI intends to acquire any additional outstanding S1
Shares pursuant to the Second-Step Merger through Offeror, although ACI and Offeror also reserve
the right, subject to applicable law, to acquire S1 Shares pursuant to other means, including open
market purchases and privately negotiated transactions.
For more details regarding the reasons for the Exchange Offer, please see the section of this
prospectus/offer to exchange titled The Proposed Acquisition, Background and Reasons for the
Exchange Offer.
Do I need to grant proxies to ACI if I wish to accept the Exchange Offer?
No. The Exchange Offer does not constitute a solicitation of proxies for any meeting of S1
stockholders. However, ACI is separately soliciting proxies against
the Fundtech Merger Proposals at the S1 Special Stockholder Meeting. In addition, ACI reserves the right to solicit proxies or consents to cause
the S1 Board to be reconstituted independently of or in connection
with the Exchange Offer. A vote against the issuance of S1 Shares pursuant
to the Fundtech Merger Agreement by S1 stockholders at a duly
convened stockholders meeting and termination of the Fundtech
Merger Agreement is
one of the conditions to the Exchange Offer. Whether or not ACI will waive this condition will
depend on future facts which cannot presently be ascertained, including how many S1 Shares are
tendered pursuant to the Exchange offer and actions taken by S1, the S1 Board and S1 stockholders.
Do I have to vote at any meeting to approve the Exchange Offer or the Second-Step Merger?
No. Your vote is not required in connection with the Exchange Offer.
Will the S1 Board make a recommendation concerning the Exchange Offer?
Under SEC rules, the S1 Board will be required to make a recommendation or state that it is
neutral or is unable to take a position with respect to the Exchange Offer, and file with the SEC a
solicitation/recommendation statement on Schedule 14D-9 describing its position, if any, and
related matters, no later than ten business days from the date ACI files this prospectus/offer to
exchange. S1 is also required to send to you a copy of its Schedule 14D-9 which you should review
carefully upon its receipt. The Fundtech Merger Agreement provides that any disclosure made by the
S1 Board pursuant to Rule 14d-9 that does not expressly reaffirm its recommendation to S1
stockholders to approve the Fundtech Merger Agreement will be deemed to be a change in
recommendation by the S1 Board and that, consequently, Fundtech would thereafter have the right to
terminate the Fundtech Merger Agreement and collect the Fundtech termination fee from S1.
What will be the composition of the S1 Board following the Exchange Offer and the Second-Step
Merger?
If the Exchange Offer is completed and ACI acquires a majority of the outstanding S1 Shares,
subject to applicable law, ACI currently expects to seek to replace the existing S1 Board or
increase the size of the S1 Board and elect ACI nominees who would in the aggregate constitute a
majority of the members of the S1 Board. See Appendix A to this prospectus/offer exchange for
information as to the individuals, all of whom are currently directors or officers of ACI, that ACI
currently expects it would propose to elect to the S1 Board.
Will I have to pay any fee or commission to exchange S1 Shares?
If you are the record owner of your S1 Shares and you tender your S1 Shares in the Exchange
Offer, you will not have to pay any brokerage fees, commissions or similar expenses. If you own
your S1 Shares through a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee and your
broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust
7
company or other nominee tenders your S1 Shares on your
behalf, your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee may charge a fee for
doing so. You should consult your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee
to determine whether any charges will apply.
Is ACIs financial condition relevant to my decision to tender S1 Shares in the Exchange
Offer?
Yes. ACIs financial condition is relevant to your decision to tender your S1 Shares because
the consideration you will receive if your S1 Shares are exchanged in the Exchange Offer will
consist of a combination of ACI Shares and cash. You should therefore consider ACIs financial
condition before you decide to become one of ACIs stockholders through the Exchange Offer. You
should also consider the likely effect that ACIs acquisition of S1 will have on ACIs financial
condition. This prospectus/offer to exchange contains financial information regarding ACI and S1,
as well as pro forma financial information (which does not reflect any of our expected synergies)
for the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding S1 Shares by ACI, all of which we
encourage you to review.
Does ACI have the financial resources to complete the Exchange Offer and the Second-Step
Merger?
The Exchange Offer consideration will consist of ACI Shares and cash (including, cash paid in
lieu of any fractional ACI Shares to which any S1 stockholder may be entitled). The Exchange Offer
and the Second-Step Merger are not conditioned upon any financing arrangements or contingencies.
ACI has received a commitment letter from Wells Fargo Securities, LLC (Wells Fargo) and
Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (Wells Fargo Bank), to provide, subject to certain conditions, up to $450
million for the purpose of financing a portion of the cash component of the consideration to be
paid for each S1 Share, as well as for other payments made in connection with the Exchange Offer
and refinancing of ACIs existing revolving facility. No other plans or arrangements have been
made to finance or repay such financing after the consummation of the Exchange Offer and the
Second-Step Merger. No alternative financing arrangements or alternative financing plans have been
made in the event such financings fail to materialize. Please see the section of this
prospectus/offer to exchange titled The Exchange OfferSource and Amount of Funds.
The estimated amount of cash required is based on ACIs due diligence review of S1s publicly
available information to date and is subject to change. For a further discussion of the risks
relating to ACIs limited due diligence review, please see the section of this prospectus/offer to
exchange titled Risk FactorsRisk Factors Relating to the Exchange Offer and the Second-Step
Merger.
What percentage of ACI Shares will former S1 stockholders own after the Exchange Offer?
Based on ACIs and S1s respective capitalizations as of August 29, 2011 and the exchange ratio of
0.2800, ACI estimates that if all S1 Shares are exchanged pursuant to the Exchange Offer and/or the
Second-Step Merger, former S1 stockholders would own, in the
aggregate, approximately 14.4% of the
aggregate ACI Shares on a fully diluted basis. For a detailed discussion of the assumptions on
which this estimate is based, please see the section of this prospectus/offer to exchange titled
The Exchange OfferOwnership of ACI After the Exchange Offer.
When does the Exchange Offer expire?
The
Exchange Offer is scheduled to expire at 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on
Wednesday, September 28, 2011, which is the Expiration Time, unless further extended by Offeror. When we make reference to
the Expiration Time anywhere in this prospectus/offer to exchange, this is the time to which we
are referring, including when applicable, any extension period that
may apply. As discussed in The Exchange OfferExtension, Termination
and Amendment, Offeror can extend
the Expiration Time if such conditions are not satisfied, or amend the Exchange Offer. For more
information, please see the section of this prospectus/offer to exchange titled The Exchange
OfferExtension, Termination and Amendment.
Can the Exchange Offer be extended and, if so, under what circumstances?
Offeror may, in its sole discretion, extend the Exchange Offer at any time or from time to
time until 9:00 a.m., Eastern time, on the first business day after the previously scheduled
Expiration Time. For instance, the Exchange Offer may be extended if any of the conditions
specified in The Exchange OfferConditions of the Exchange Offer are not satisfied prior to the
scheduled Expiration Time. The Expiration Time may also be subject to multiple extensions and any
decision to extend the Exchange Offer, and if so, for how long, will be made by Offeror.
8
Any
decision by Offeror to extend the Exchange Offer will be made public by an announcement regarding
such extension as described in the section of this prospectus/offer to exchange titled The
Exchange OfferExtension, Termination and Amendment.
Offeror may also elect to provide a subsequent offering period for the Exchange Offer. A
subsequent offering period would not be an extension of the Exchange Offer. Rather, a subsequent
offering period would be an additional period of time, beginning after Offeror has accepted for
exchange all S1 Shares tendered during the Exchange Offer, during which S1 stockholders who did not
tender their S1 Shares in the Exchange Offer may tender their S1 Shares and receive the same
consideration provided in the Exchange Offer. Offeror does not currently intend to include a
subsequent offering period, although it reserves the right to do so.
How do I tender my S1 Shares?
To tender your S1 Shares represented by physical certificates into the Exchange Offer, you
must deliver the certificates representing your S1 Shares, together with a completed letter of
election and transmittal and any other documents required by the letter of election and
transmittal, to Wells Fargo Bank, the exchange agent for the Exchange Offer, not later
than the Expiration Time. The letter of election and transmittal is enclosed with this
prospectus/offer to exchange.
If your S1 Shares are held in street name (i.e., through a broker, dealer, commercial bank,
trust company or other nominee), your S1 Shares can be tendered by your nominee by book-entry
transfer through The Depository Trust Company.
If you are unable to deliver any required document or instrument to the exchange agent by the
Expiration Time, you may have a limited amount of additional time by having a broker, a bank or
other fiduciary that is an eligible guarantor institution guarantee that the missing items will be
received by the exchange agent by using the enclosed notice of guaranteed delivery circulated with
this prospectus/offer to exchange (the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery). For the tender to be
valid, however, the exchange agent must receive the missing items within three NASDAQ trading days
after the date of execution of such Notice of Guaranteed Delivery. In all cases, an exchange of
tendered S1 Shares will be made only after timely receipt by the exchange agent of certificates for
such S1 Shares (or of a confirmation of a book-entry transfer of such shares) and a properly
completed and duly executed letter of election and transmittal and any other required documents.
For a complete discussion on the procedures for tendering your S1 Shares, please see the
section of this prospectus/offer to exchange titled The Exchange OfferProcedure for Tendering.
Until what time can I withdraw tendered S1 Shares?
You may withdraw previously tendered S1 Shares any time prior to the Expiration Time, and, if
Offeror has not accepted your S1 Shares for exchange by the Expiration Time, at any time following
60 days from commencement of the Exchange Offer. S1 Shares tendered during the subsequent offering
period, if one is provided, may not be withdrawn. For a complete discussion on the procedures for
withdrawing your S1 Shares, please see the section of this prospectus/offer to exchange titled The
Exchange OfferWithdrawal Rights.
How do I withdraw previously tendered S1 Shares?
To withdraw previously tendered S1 Shares, you must deliver a written or facsimile notice of
withdrawal with the required information to the exchange agent while you still have the right to
withdraw. If you tendered S1 Shares by giving instructions to a broker, dealer, commercial bank,
trust company or other nominee, you must instruct the broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust
company or other nominee to arrange for the withdrawal of your
S1 Shares. For a complete discussion on the procedures for withdrawing your S1 Shares, please
see the section of this prospectus/offer to exchange titled The Exchange OfferWithdrawal
Rights.
When and how will I receive the Exchange Offer consideration in exchange for my tendered S1
Shares?
Offeror will exchange all validly tendered and not properly withdrawn S1 Shares promptly after
the Expiration Time, subject to the terms thereof and the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions
to the Exchange Offer,
9
as set forth in the section of this prospectus/offer to exchange titled The
Exchange OfferConditions of the Exchange Offer. Offeror will deliver the consideration for your
validly tendered and not properly withdrawn S1 Shares by depositing the consideration therefore
with the exchange agent, which will act as your agent for the purpose of receiving the Exchange
Offer consideration from Offeror and transmitting such consideration to you. In all cases, an
exchange of tendered S1 Shares will be made only after timely receipt by the exchange agent of
certificates for such S1 Shares (or of a confirmation of a book-entry transfer of such S1 Shares as
set forth in the section of this prospectus/offer to exchange titled The Exchange OfferProcedure
for Tendering) and a properly completed and duly executed letter of election and transmittal (or
Agents Message (as defined below)) and any other required documents.
Will S1 continue as a public company following the Exchange Offer?
If the Second-Step Merger occurs, S1 will become a wholly owned subsidiary of ACI and will no
longer be publicly owned. Even if the Second-Step Merger does not occur, if Offeror exchanges all
S1 Shares which have been tendered, there may be so few remaining stockholders and publicly held
shares that S1 Shares will no longer be eligible to be traded on the NASDAQ or any other securities
market, there may not be a public trading market for such shares, and S1 may cease making filings
with the SEC or otherwise cease being required to comply with applicable law and SEC rules relating
to publicly held companies. Please see the sections of this prospectus/offer to exchange titled
The Exchange OfferPlans for S1 and The Exchange OfferEffect of the Exchange Offer on the
Market for S1 Shares; NASDAQ Listing; Registration Under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934;
Margin Regulations.
Are dissenters or appraisal rights available in either the Exchange Offer and/or the
Second-Step Merger?
No dissenters or appraisal rights are available in connection with the Exchange Offer.
However, upon consummation of the Second-Step Merger, S1 stockholders who have not tendered their
S1 Shares in the Exchange Offer and who, if a stockholder vote is required, vote against approval
of the Second-Step Merger will have rights under Delaware law to dissent from the Second-Step
Merger and demand appraisal of their S1 Shares. Stockholders at the time of a short form merger
under Delaware law would also be entitled to exercise dissenters rights pursuant to such a short
form merger. Stockholders who perfect dissenters rights by complying with the procedures set
forth in Section 262 of the DGCL will be entitled to receive a cash payment equal to the fair
value of their S1 Shares, as determined by a Delaware court. Please see the section of this
prospectus/offer to exchange titled The Exchange OfferAppraisal/Dissenters Rights.
What is the market value of my S1 Shares as of a recent date?
ACI
believes that the value per S1 Share in the Exchange Offer is substantially higher than the
trading prices for S1 Shares after the announcement of the Proposed Fundtech Merger.
On June 24, 2011, the last trading day prior to the announcement of the Fundtech Merger
Agreement, the closing sales price of S1 Share as reported by the NASDAQ Market was $7.54 per
share. The closing sales price for S1 Shares declined on June 27, 2011, the day that the Fundtech
Merger Agreement was announced, to $7.26 per share. During the period from June 27, 2011 to July
25, 2011, the last trading day prior to the announcement of the Original ACI Merger Proposal, the
closing sales price for S1 Shares further declined 1.8% to $7.13 per share, and its volume weighted
average closing sales price over this period was $7.25 per share. This compares to an increase of
4.5% for the S&P 500 Index over the same period. ACI
believes that the increase in trading prices was primarily attributable to the Original ACI Merger Proposal.
On
August 29, 2011, the last practicable date prior to the filing of this prospectus/offer to
exchange, the closing price of a S1 Share was $9.04. S1 stockholders are encouraged to obtain a
recent quotation for S1 Shares before deciding whether or not to tender such S1 Shares pursuant to
the Exchange Offer, whether to exercise withdrawal rights as provided herein and, with respect to
the election, whether to receive the Cash Consideration or the Stock Consideration or some
combination thereof.
Why does the cover page state that the Exchange Offer is subject to change and that the
registration statement filed with the SEC is not yet effective? Does this mean that the Exchange
Offer has not commenced?
No. Completion of this preliminary prospectus/offer to exchange and effectiveness of the
registration statement are not necessary for the Exchange Offer to commence. ACI, through Offeror,
commenced the Exchange
Offer on August 30, 2011. Offeror cannot, however, accept for exchange any
S1 Shares tendered in the Exchange
10
Offer or exchange any S1 Shares until the registration statement
is declared effective by the SEC and the other conditions to the Exchange Offer have been satisfied
or waived.

The Exchange Offer
(See page 57)
Offeror is offering, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this
prospectus/offer to exchange and in the accompanying letter of election and transmittal, to
exchange for each issued and outstanding share of common stock of S1, validly tendered pursuant to
the Exchange Offer and not properly withdrawn one of the following:
|
|
|
0.2800 of an ACI Share (Stock Consideration); or |
|
|
|
$10.00 in cash, without interest (Cash Consideration), |
subject to the proration procedures described in this prospectus/offer to exchange and the related
letter of election and transmittal.
The blended value
of the Cash-Stock Consideration as of the close of trading on
August 29,
2011, assuming full proration, was $9.44 per S1 Share.
The equity capital markets have been highly volatile since July 26, 2011 and market prices for
ACI Shares have fluctuated and will fluctuate, and could be higher or lower than the price of ACI
Shares at or after the Expiration Time. Accordingly, S1 stockholders are urged to obtain current
trading price information for ACI Shares prior to deciding whether to tender shares pursuant to the
Exchange Offer, whether to exercise withdrawal rights as provided herein and, with respect to the
election, whether to receive the Cash Consideration or the Stock Consideration or some combination
thereof.
S1 stockholders electing either the Cash Consideration or the Stock Consideration will be
subject to proration so that 62.0% of S1 Shares will be exchanged for the Cash Consideration and
38.0% of S1 Shares will be exchanged for the Stock Consideration in the Exchange Offer. S1
stockholders who do not participate in the Exchange Offer and whose shares are acquired in the
Second-Step Merger will receive the Proration Amount of Cash and Stock Consideration. The
elections of other S1 stockholders will affect whether a tendering S1 stockholder electing the Cash
Consideration or the Stock Consideration receives solely the type of consideration elected or if a
portion of such S1 stockholders tendered S1 Shares is exchanged for another form of consideration.
S1 stockholders who otherwise would be entitled to receive a fractional ACI Share will instead
receive cash in lieu of any fractional ACI Share such holder may have otherwise been entitled to
receive based on current trading prices. For a complete discussion of the proration procedure and
the treatment of fractional ACI Shares, please see the sections of this prospectus/offer to
exchange titled The Exchange OfferElections and Proration and The Exchange OfferCash In Lieu
of Fractional ACI Shares.
Reasons for the Exchange Offer
(See page 51)
While ACI continues to hope that it is possible to reach a consensual transaction with S1,
ACI, through Offeror, is making the Exchange Offer directly to S1 stockholders in light of the S1
Boards rejection of the Original ACI Merger Proposal on August 2, 2011.
ACI
reserves the right to solicit proxies or consents to cause the S1 Board to be
reconstituted with director nominees proposed by ACI independently of or in connection
with the Exchange Offer. Any such proxy solicitation will be made only pursuant to
separate proxy materials in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC.
Value:
ACI believes that the Exchange Offer is superior to the Proposed Fundtech Merger
notwithstanding the S1 Boards rejection of the Original ACI Merger Proposal because it provides
greater and more certain value than the Proposed Fundtech Merger. Among other things, in the
Exchange Offer, 62.0% of S1 Shares would be exchanged for cash. The Proposed Fundtech Merger
provides no cash to S1 stockholders.
In
addition, ACI believes that the value per S1 Share in the Exchange Offer is substantially
higher than the trading prices for S1 Shares after the announcement of the Proposed Fundtech
Merger. On June 24, 2011, the last trading day prior to the announcement of the Fundtech Merger
Agreement, the closing sales price of S1 Shares as reported by the NASDAQ Market was $7.54 per
share. The closing sales price for S1 Shares declined on June 27, 2011, the day that the Fundtech
Merger Agreement was announced, to $7.26 per share. During the period from
13
June 27, 2011 to July 25, 2011, the last trading day prior to the announcement of the Original ACI
Merger Proposal, the closing sales price for S1 Shares further declined 1.8% to $7.13 per share,
and its volume weighted average closing sales price over this period was $7.25 per share. This
compares to an increase of 4.5% for the S&P 500 Index over the
same period. ACI believes that the increase in trading prices was primarily
attributable to the Original ACI Merger Proposal.
At
$9.44 per S1 Share, the blended value of the Cash-Stock Consideration
as of August 29,
2011, assuming full proration, the Exchange Offer represents
(1) a 32.4% premium to the closing
sales price of S1 Shares on July 25, 2011, the last trading day prior to the public announcement of
the Original ACI Merger Proposal, (2) a 30.9% premium to the volume weighted average closing price
of S1 Shares over the previous 90 days prior to the announcement of the Original ACI Merger
Proposal, and (3) a 21.8% premium to the 52-week high of S1 Shares for the 52-week period ending
July 25, 2011.
S1 stockholders who elect the Cash-Stock Consideration contemplated by the Exchange Offer will
be subject to proration. Since the value of ACI Shares fluctuates, the per S1 Share Stock
Consideration necessarily could have a value that is different than the per S1 Share Cash
Consideration. As a consequence, in the Exchange Offer S1 stockholders could receive a combination
of Cash-Stock Consideration with a value that is different from the value of such consideration on
the date of the Enhanced ACI Merger Proposal, the date of the Special Meeting and the date of the
consummation of the Exchange Offer.
The elections of other S1 stockholders will affect whether S1 stockholders received solely the
type of consideration they had elected or whether a portion of the consideration S1 stockholders
elected were exchanged for another form of consideration as a result of the pro ration procedures
contemplated by the Exchange Offer.
Solely
for purposes of illustration, the following table indicates the value
of the Cash Consideration, the Stock
Consideration and the blended value of the Cash-Stock Consideration based on different assumed
prices for ACI Shares.

The equity capital markets have been highly volatile since July 26, 2011 and market prices for
ACI Shares and S1 Shares have fluctuated and can be expected to continue to fluctuate. S1
stockholders are urged to obtain current trading price information prior to deciding how to vote.
The premium represented by the Exchange Offer to the Proposed Fundtech Merger may be larger or
smaller depending on market prices on any given date and will
14
fluctuate between the date of this prospectus/offer to purchase, the Expiration Time and the date
of the consummation of the Exchange Offer.
Strategic Rationale:
The Exchange Offer provides immediate cash value to S1 stockholders, as well as the
opportunity to participate in the value creation in the Exchange Offer through the receipt of ACI
Shares. ACI believes that the complementary nature of ACI and S1 creates a compelling opportunity
to establish a full-service global leader of financial and payments software with significant scale
and financial strength, including as follows:
Highly Complementary Product and Customer Bases: Combined, ACI and S1 would provide a rich
set of capabilities and a broad portfolio of products to customers across the entire electronic
payments spectrum. In particular, ACI believes that the acquisition of S1 would provide breadth and
additional capabilities to what ACI does today, including: (1) expand ACIs retailer business
beyond North America; (2) increase ACIs retail banking payments business down into lower and
mid-tier financial institutions; and (3) add function and global reach to ACIs online business
banking offering, including new capabilities around branch banking and trade. The acquisition of S1
would support ACIs position as a leading provider of the most unified payments solution to serve
retail banking, wholesale banking, processors and retailers and would enable its customers to lower
their operational costs and improve time-to-market.
Enhanced Scale and Global Position: ACIs, S1s and Fundtechs principal competitors are
substantially larger companies with greater financial resources than ACI, S1 and Fundtech have. The
combined ACI and S1 would have greater scale and critical mass than S1 would have after the
Proposed Fundtech Merger. The combined ACI and S1 would have revenue of $683 million and adjusted
EBITDA of $123 million for the 12 months ended June 30, 2011, compared to revenue of $379 million
and adjusted EBITDA of $43 million for that period for the combined S1 and Fundtech in the Proposed
Fundtech Merger. This scale advantage would enable the combined ACI and S1 to more effectively
serve its combined global customer base and compete against the very large companies which operate
in the electronic payments software business.
In addition, Fundtech is dependent upon three international financial institutions for a
significant portion of its revenue. According to Fundtechs Form 20-F filed with the SEC on May
31, 2011, in fiscal year 2010, Fundtech derived approximately 21% of its total annual revenues from
these three international financial institutions. In comparison, ACIs top 10 customers represented
approximately 20% of its total annual revenue in 2010.
Significant Synergy Opportunities: ACI expects the combination of ACI and S1 will generate
a significant amount of operational efficiencies and cost savings that will drive margin expansion
for the acquired S1 business and earnings accretion for the combined company. ACI estimates that
the annual pre-tax cost savings related to the Exchange Offer would be more than double the $12
million estimated in the Proposed Fundtech Merger, primarily attributable to elimination of S1s
public company costs and rationalization of duplicate general and administrative functions,
sales/marketing functions and costs, occupancy costs, product management and R&D functions. In
addition, ACI expects to consolidate the combined companys hosting data centers and
infrastructure. Further, ACI expects the cost savings will improve S1s margins in line with ACIs
margins for adjusted EBITDA. Assuming that the Exchange Offer is closed in the fourth calendar
quarter of this year, ACI anticipates the cost savings would be fully realizable in 2012.
Strong Financial Position: ACI would continue to have a strong financial profile driven by
a solid balance sheet with substantial liquidity and a recurring revenue model that generates
significant free cash flows, allowing for further future investments in the business. In addition,
ACI expects the transaction to be accretive to full year earnings in 2012.
The following metrics provide relevant information with respect to ACIs recent financial
performance, as of July 26, 2011, the date of the Original ACI Merger Proposal:
ACI
has produced a stockholder return of approximately 90% over the past three years,
significantly outperforming the relevant peer group;
ACI has increased its 60-month backlog to $1.6 billion in 2010, up $350 million since 2006;
15
ACI has driven monthly recurring revenue to 68% in 2010, up nearly 29% since 2007; and
ACI has increased adjusted EBITDA margin to 21% in 2010, from 7% in 2007.
This prospectus/offer to exchange includes summary selected unaudited pro forma combined
financial information that is intended to provide S1 stockholders with information relating to
ACIs financial results assuming that ACI and S1 had already been combined.
Integration:
ACI believes that there are substantial risks inherent in mergers of equals, which ACI
believes are exacerbated by the fact that S1 is a U.S. company headquartered in Norcross, Georgia,
while Fundtech is a company with substantial operations in Israel. While there is integration risk
in any substantial business combination transaction, ACIs proposal would not involve the
complexities inherent in combining two businesses whose co-CEOs and other senior executives would
be located on different continents, and ACI would have the ability to implement integration plans
without being required to consider the potential conflicting interests and disynergies implicit in
a merger of equals in which, for example, the combined companys top management is expected to be
drawn from two disparate organizations.
S1s proxy statement discloses that political, economic and military conditions in Israel and
the Middle East could negatively impact the combined S1-Fundtech company. Fundtech is an Israeli
company with substantial operations in Israel. According to S1s proxy statement, (1) any major
hostilities involving Israel, acts of terrorism or the interruption or curtailment of trade between
Israel and its present trading partners could adversely affect the combined companys operations,
(2) several Arab and Muslim countries restrict or prohibit business with Israeli companies and
these restrictions may have an adverse impact on the combined companys operating results,
financial condition or the expansion of the combined companys business, and (3) such boycott,
restrictive laws, policies or practices may preclude the combined company from pursuing certain
sales opportunities in the future.
Closing Conditions:
The completion of the Proposed Fundtech Merger is subject to, among other conditions, approval
of the issuance of stock in the transaction by holders of a majority of S1 Shares voting at a
meeting held on the matter, the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the
HSR Act, as well as a number of conditions
unique to a combination of a U.S. and an Israeli company, including receipt of the consent or
approval of Israeli tax authorities, the Investment Center of the Israeli Ministry of Trade &
Industry and the Israeli Securities Authority.
The Exchange Offer is subject to the conditions set forth in Conditions to the Exchange
Offer, including the Fundtech Merger Agreement Condition, the Delaware 203 Condition, the Minimum
Tender Condition and the receipt of customary regulatory approvals, including the expiration or
termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act. The Fundtech Merger Agreement Condition and
the Delaware 203 Condition could be satisfied by action of the S1 Board. In addition, the Fundtech
Merger Agreement Condition could be satisfied if S1 stockholders vote against the issuance of
shares to complete the Fundtech Merger and the Fundtech Merger
Agreement is terminated.
As of the date of this prospectus/offer to exchange, S1 has not obtained clearance under the
HSR Act. S1 reported in its proxy statement that it refiled its Notification and Report Form under
the HSR Act with the Antitrust Division on August 17, 2011, recommencing the 30-calendar day
waiting period under the HSR Act with respect to S1s acquisition of shares of Fundtech in the
Proposed Fundtech Merger. S1 also reported that it understands that Clal (as defined below),
Fundtechs largest shareholder, intends to withdraw and refile its Notification and Report Form
after August 19, 2011, the date of S1s proxy statement, which will restart the 30-calendar day
waiting period.
ACI filed the required Notification and Report Form under the HSR Act with the Antitrust
Division and the FTC on July 27, 2011. Thereafter, the Antitrust Division informed ACI that, as
between the FTC and the Antitrust Division, the Antitrust Division would review ACIs filing.
ACI withdrew its initial filing on August 26, 2011, and refiled it
on August 29, 2011 in order to permit the Antitrust Division to have additional time to review the filing.
16
The 30-
calendar day waiting period recommenced in connection with such refiling so
that it now expires, unless terminated earlier or extended, at 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time on September 28, 2011. The Antitrust
Division may extend its review beyond the 30-calendar day waiting period by requesting additional
information and documentary material. In the event of such a request, the waiting period would be
extended until 11:59 p.m., Eastern time, on the 30th calendar day after ACI has made a proper
response to that request as specified by the HSR Act and the implementing rules.
The combination with S1 would provide ACI with enhanced scale, breadth and additional
capabilities to compete more effectively in the highly competitive payment systems marketplace. If
ACI were to acquire S1, the combined company would continue to face intense competition from
third-party software vendors, in house solutions, processors, IT service organizations and credit
card associations, including from companies which are substantially larger and have substantially
greater market shares than the combined company would have. Moreover, the dynamic worldwide nature
of the industry means that competitive alternatives can and do regularly emerge. Thus, ACI does not
believe the transaction would enable it to obtain market power in, or even a significant share of,
any relevant market.
Nonetheless, the Original ACI Merger Proposal contained provisions designed to provide S1 what
ACI believed to be an appropriate measure of assurance that the HSR Act condition would be
satisfied, including a $21.5 million fee that would be paid to S1 if that condition were not
satisfied and an undertaking to divest assets, subject to certain limitations (which were not
specified in the draft merger agreement delivered to S1), and take other actions if necessary to
obtain the expiration or termination of the HSR Act waiting period.
ACI reiterated this commitment in connection with its delivery of the
Enhanced ACI Merger Proposal.
Based on the foregoing, ACI believes that it will obtain clearance under the HSR Act, although
there necessarily can be no assurance with respect thereto.
Restructuring of S1 for No Premium and No Cash:
According to S1s proxy statement, S1 has entered into a transaction to acquire Fundtech in
which S1 stockholders will receive no premium and no cash for their shares. Although S1 has stated
in its proxy statement that S1 will acquire Fundtech, we believe that its analysis is incorrect.
We believe that the Proposed Fundtech Merger is in fact a transaction that results in a radical
restructuring of the business, ownership and governance of S1, and thereby could be deemed to
constitute de facto change in control of S1 for a number of reasons, including (1) changes in S1s
Board and management, including a governance mechanism applicable to key corporate decisions that
requires agreement of designees of each of S1 and Fundtech post-transaction (unless approved by a
post-transaction Board of Directors of which one-half of the designees are appointed by S1 and
one-half of the designees are appointed by Fundtech), (2) changes in the composition and
concentration of ownership of the combined companys shares, and (3) the fact that the transaction
constitutes a change in control under compensation arrangements for S1s top management.
Changes in S1s Board and Management: According to S1s proxy statement, following the
Proposed Fundtech Merger, the governance of S1 would change as follows:
Fundtechs CEO would become Executive Chairman of the combined company. Fundtechs
Chairman would become Deputy Chairman of the combined company. Fundtechs CFO would become
CFO of the combined company. One or more of these individuals apparently would serve in
these capacities from Israel, and not S1s principal U.S. offices.
S1s Board would not constitute a majority of the Board of the combined company;
rather, the combined company Board would be comprised of eight members, four from the
current Board of Fundtech and four from the current Board of S1.
For an apparently indeterminate period, Fundtechs CEO, as Executive Chairman of
the combined company, and the combined companys CEO would have to mutually agree before S1
could take any of the following actions. Disputes as to the following matters could only be
resolved by the vote of a majority of the Board of the combined company, on which the
current Fundtech directors will have a blocking vote:
17
subject to certain exceptions, the issuance of any equity interests of the
combined company or its subsidiaries or any securities exercisable or exchangeable
for or convertible into equity interests of the combined company or its
subsidiaries;
incurrence of any indebtedness for borrowed money, other than indebtedness (i)
outstanding as of the closing date of the Proposed Fundtech Merger or (ii) incurred
in the ordinary course of business;
engaging in any merger, consolidation or other business combination transactions
or recapitalization or reorganization;
acquisition of any enterprise or business (whether by merger, stock or assets) or
other significant assets outside of the ordinary course of business;
sale or other disposition of any assets of the combined company or any of its
subsidiaries outside of the ordinary course of business;
acquisition or development of any material new product or service offering;
engaging in any line of business substantially different from those lines of
business conducted by the combined company and its subsidiaries immediately
following the closing date of the Proposed Fundtech Merger;
hiring or termination of the executive chairman, chief executive officer, chief
financial officer, chief operating officer, chief legal officer and each individual
(including any consultant or other individual, even if not technically an employee)
performing the functions of any such office, each referred to as a Senior Officer,
or any individual who directly reports (including any consultant or other
individual, even if not technically an employee) to any Senior Officer, referred to,
together with the Senior Officers, each as an Applicable Employee;
modification of the salary or other compensation of any Applicable Employee,
materially changing the responsibilities of any Applicable Employee, or making any
material changes to the employment agreement of any Applicable Employee;
approval of (i) any operating or capital expenditure budget of the combined
company or any of its subsidiaries or (ii) any material amendment or supplement to
or other modification thereof;
institution, settlement, withdrawal or compromise of any material lawsuit, claim,
counterclaim or other legal proceeding by or against the combined company or any of
its subsidiaries or with respect to any of their respective material properties or
assets; or
delegate any authority to take any of the foregoing actions to any other officer
or employee.
Changes in the Composition and Concentration of Share Ownership: The Proposed Fundtech Merger
will result in a change in the composition and concentration in ownership of S1 Shares. According
to a Schedule 13D filed in respect of Fundtech, Clal Industries and Investments Ltd. (Clal), an
Israeli company, owns approximately 58% of Fundtechs ordinary shares. Clal is controlled by the
following four individuals: Nochi Dankner, Shelly Danker-Bergman, Isaac Manor and Avraham Livnat,
who may be deemed to beneficially own the Fundtech shares held by Clal.
According to S1s proxy statement, Clal will own approximately 24% of the combined company,
and by virtue of such ownership may exert considerable influence over the combined companys
policies, business and affairs, and in any corporate transaction or other matter, including
mergers, consolidations and the sale of all or substantially all of [S1s] assets. This
concentration in control may have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change of
control that otherwise would yield a premium upon the price of the combined companys common stock.
This concentration of ownership may also have the effect of reducing the amount of stock in the
combined companys public float, which may impact share trading values.
18
Although S1 stockholders will continue to own 55% of S1 Shares following the Proposed Fundtech
Merger, these shares are held by a wide and diverse group of institutional and other investors and,
based on reported share ownership as of August 29, 2011, no S1 stockholder other than Clal will own
more than 5.0% of the outstanding S1 Shares if the Proposed Fundtech Merger were to be completed.
The S1 Board exempted Clal from the restrictions applicable to interested stockholders under
Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law and has not otherwise restricted Clals ability
to acquire additional shares or take actions in respect of the governance of S1 following the
Proposed Fundtech Merger. Accordingly, Clal may be able to exert considerable influence over S1s
affairs following the Proposed Fundtech Merger as a result of its 24% ownership interest.
Change
in Control for the Benefit of S1 Top Management: The Proposed Fundtech Merger will
constitute a change of control for purposes of the employment agreements, equity incentive plans
and golden parachutes of S1s senior management, resulting in the acceleration of certain benefits
as described in S1s proxy statement under the section titled Interests of the Companys Executive
Officers and Directors in the Merger.
Based upon (1) the expected roles to be played by S1s and Fundtechs management following the
Proposed Fundtech Merger in the combined company, (2) the substantial ownership of the combined
company by Fundtechs largest stockholder following the merger, and (3) the treatment of the merger
as a change of control under the compensation arrangements of S1s management, we believe that
the Proposed Fundtech Merger looks much more like a change of control rather than an acquisition
of Fundtech or a merger.
In any case, we believe that S1s Board, in evaluating any strategic transaction of this type,
has a legal obligation to consider all available alternative transactions beforehand, to
communicate those alternatives to S1s stockholders and to consider our proposal which we believe
provides superior value to S1s stockholders.
For the foregoing reasons, ACI urges S1 stockholders to accept the Exchange Offer and tender
their shares pursuant to the Exchange Offer. In addition, ACI urges
the members of the S1 Board in accordance with their
fiduciary duties to authorize S1s management and advisors to enter
into negotiations with ACI. ACI believes that the
fiduciary duties of care and loyalty applicable to S1 directors under Delaware law require that
they inform themselves of all material information reasonably available to them prior to making a
business decision, including alternatives to the Proposed Fundtech Merger. By failing to enter
into negotiations with ACI, ACI believes the S1 Board is unable to
determine whether the Enhanced ACI Merger Proposal
provides greater long-term value to S1s stockholders than the Proposed Fundtech Merger and is in
the best interests of S1 and its stockholders.

including that S1 stockholders shall not have adopted the Fundtech Merger Agreement, that there
shall have been no business combination consummated between S1 and Fundtech and that the S1 Board

Ownership of ACI After the Exchange Offer
(See page 65)
Based
on ACIs and S1s respective capitalizations as of August 29, 2011 and the exchange
ratio of 0.2800, ACI estimates that if all S1 Shares are exchanged pursuant to the Exchange Offer
and/or the Second-Step Merger, former S1 stockholders would own, in the aggregate, approximately
14.4% of the aggregate ACI Shares on a fully diluted basis. For a detailed discussion of the
assumptions on which this estimate is based, please see the section of this prospectus/offer to
exchange titled The Exchange OfferOwnership of ACI After the Exchange Offer.
Comparative Market Price and Dividend Information
(See page 35)
ACI Shares are listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the ticker symbol ACIW. S1
Shares are listed on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol SONE.
The closing sales price for S1 Shares on July 25, 2011, the last trading day prior to the
announcement of the Original ACI Merger Proposal, was $7.13 per share. On July 26, 2011, the date
of announcement of the Original ACI Merger Proposal, the closing sales price for S1 Shares was
$9.26 per Share. ACI believes that the increase in trading prices was primarily attributable to
the Original ACI Merger Proposal. The closing sales price for S1
Shares on August 29, 2011, the
last trading day prior to the commencement of the Exchange Offer, was
$9.04 per share.
20
Based
on the $30.49 closing trading price per ACI Share on August 29, 2011, the last
trading day prior to this Exchange Offer, the relative value of the Cash-Stock Consideration
reflected by this Exchange Offer consisted of $6.20 in cash and $3.24 in ACI Shares per S1 Share as
of such date, or an aggregate blended value of $9.44 per S1 Share as of such date, assuming full
proration. At the $9.44 per S1 Share value of the Cash-Stock
Consideration as of August 29, 2011,
the Exchange Offer represented (1) a 32.4% premium to the closing sales price of S1 Shares on July
25, 2011, the last trading day prior to the public announcement of the Original ACI Merger
Proposal, (2) a 30.9% premium to the volume weighted average closing price of S1 Shares over the
previous 90 days prior to the announcement of the Original ACI
Merger Proposal, and (3) a 21.8%
premium to the 52-week high of S1 Shares for the 52-week period ending July 25, 2011.
The equity capital markets have been highly volatile since July 26, 2011 and market prices for
ACI Shares have fluctuated and will fluctuate prior to the Expiration
Time, and could be higher or
lower than the ACI Share price at or after the Expiration Time. Accordingly, S1 stockholders are
urged to obtain current trading price information for ACI Shares prior to deciding whether to
tender shares pursuant to the Exchange Offer, whether to exercise withdrawal rights as provided
herein and, with respect to the election, whether to receive the Cash Consideration or the Stock
Consideration or some combination thereof.
Solely for purposes of illustration, the following table indicates the value of the Stock
Consideration and the blended value of the Cash-Stock Consideration based on different assumed
prices for ACI Shares.

The prices of ACI Shares used in the above table, and the assumptions regarding the mix of
cash and/or stock a hypothetical S1 stockholder would receive, are for purposes of illustration
only. The value of the Stock Consideration will change as the price of ACI Shares fluctuates
during the Exchange Offer period and thereafter, and may therefore be higher or lower than the
prices set forth in the examples above at the expiration of the Exchange Offer and at the time you
receive the ACI Shares. S1s stockholders are encouraged to obtain current market quotations for
the ACI Shares and the S1 Shares prior to making any decision with respect to the Exchange Offer.
Please see the section of this prospectus/offer to exchange titled Risk Factors.
Interest
of Executive Officers and Directors of ACI in the Exchange
Offer
(See page 84)
Except as set forth in this prospectus/offer to exchange, neither we nor, after due inquiry
and to the best of our knowledge and belief, any of our directors, executive officers or other
affiliates has any contract, arrangement, understanding or relationship with any other person with
respect to any securities of S1, including, but not limited to, any contract, arrangement,
understanding or relationship concerning the transfer or the voting of any securities,
21
joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guaranties of loans, guaranties
against loss or the giving or withholding of proxies.
ACI does not believe that the Exchange Offer and the Second-Step Merger will result in a
change in control under any of ACIs stock option plans or any employment agreement between ACI and
any of its employees. As a result, no options or other equity grants held by such persons will
vest as a result of the Exchange Offer and the Second-Step Merger. Please see the section of this
prospectus/offer to exchange titled The Exchange OfferCertain Relationships With S1 and
Interests of ACI in the Exchange Offer.
Source and Amount of Funds; Financing
(See
page 76)
The Exchange Offer consideration will consist of ACI Shares and cash (including, cash paid in
lieu of any fractional ACI Shares to which any S1 stockholder may be entitled). The Exchange Offer
and the Second-Step Merger are not conditioned upon any financing arrangements or contingencies.
ACI has received a commitment letter from
Wells Fargo, to arrange, and Wells Fargo Bank to provide, subject to certain
conditions, up to $450 million for the purpose of financing a portion of the cash component of the
consideration to be paid for each S1 Share, as well as for other payments made in connection with
the Exchange Offer and to refinance ACIs existing revolving facility. No other plans or
arrangements have been made to finance or repay such financing after the consummation of the
Exchange Offer and the Second-Step Merger. No alternative financing arrangements or alternative
financing plans have been made in the event such financings fail to materialize. Please see the
section of this prospectus/offer to exchange titled The Exchange OfferSource and Amount of
Funds.
The estimated amount of cash required is based on ACIs due diligence review of S1s publicly
available information to date and is subject to change. For a further discussion of the risks
relating to ACIs limited due diligence review, please see the section of this prospectus/offer to
exchange titled Risk FactorsRisk Factors Relating to the Exchange Offer and the Second-Step
Merger.
Appraisal/Dissenters Rights
(See
page 69)
No dissenters or appraisal rights are available in connection with the Exchange Offer.
However, upon consummation of the Second-Step Merger, S1 stockholders who have not tendered their
S1 Shares in the Exchange Offer and who, if a stockholder vote is required, vote against approval
of the Second-Step Merger will have rights under Delaware law to dissent from the Second-Step
Merger and demand appraisal of their S1 Shares. Stockholders at the time of a short form merger
under Delaware law would also be entitled to exercise dissenters rights pursuant to such a short
form merger. Stockholders who perfect dissenters rights by complying with the procedures set
forth in Section 262 of the DGCL will be entitled to receive a cash payment equal to the fair
value of their S1 Shares, as determined by a Delaware court.
Certain Material Federal Income Tax Consequences
(See
page 65)
Based on closing trading prices of ACI Shares as of the date of this prospectus/offer to
exchange, the Exchange Offer would be taxable to you.
If the Exchange Offer and the Second-Step
Merger qualified as component parts of an integrated transaction that
constitutes a reorganization
within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
Internal Revenue Code), your exchange of S1 Shares for the Stock Consideration should be tax
free, except to the extent that you also receive cash. Whether or not such transactions will so qualify is dependent on whether certain factual
requirements are met, including that the Exchange Offer and Second-Step Merger are
interdependent (that is, ACI would not undertake the Exchange Offer without the intention and
expectation of completing the Second-Step Merger). In addition, there must be a continuity of
interest of holders of S1 Shares in the combined company. ACI
believes that this test should be satisfied if the total value of the Stock Consideration represents at least 40% of the total value of the
consideration received by holders of S1 Shares, and may be satisfied at a slightly lower percentage. If market prices for ACI Shares upon consummation
of the Exchange Offer are less than $38.75, the Stock Consideration would represent less than 40%
of the total value of the Exchange Offer consideration. You are urged to obtain current
22
trading price information prior to making any decision with respect to the Exchange Offer. We
cannot provide any assurance as to whether these conditions will be satisfied at this time, since
it may be affected, among other things, by the total value of the Stock Consideration at the time
of the consummation of the Exchange Offer and the Second-Step Merger.
If
the integrated transaction does not qualify as a reorganization, your exchange of S1 Shares
for the Stock Consideration in the Exchange Offer or the Second-Step Merger could be a taxable
transaction, depending on the surrounding facts. If the integrated
transaction constitutes a
reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal
Revenue Code, any gain (but not
loss) you realize on the transaction will be treated as a taxable capital gain or dividend in an
amount equal to the lesser of (1) the excess of the sum of the Cash Consideration and the fair
market value of the Stock Consideration you receive in the transaction over your basis in your
shares and (2) the amount of cash you receive in the transaction, including any cash you receive in
lieu of a fractional ACI Share, depending on your circumstances. If the offer does not constitute
part of an integrated transaction that qualifies as a reorganization within the meaning of Section
368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, you will recognize a capital gain or a capital loss to the
extent of the difference between your adjusted tax basis in your shares and the sum of the Cash
Considerations and the fair market value of the Stock Consideration you receive. For more
information, please see the section of this prospectus/offer to exchange titled The Exchange
OfferCertain Material Federal Income Tax Consequences.
THIS PROSPECTUS/OFFER TO EXCHANGE CONTAINS A GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF CERTAIN MATERIAL FEDERAL
INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE OFFER AND THE SECOND-STEP MERGER. THIS DESCRIPTION DOES NOT ADDRESS
ANY NON-U.S. TAX CONSEQUENCES, NOR DOES IT PERTAIN TO STATE OR OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES.
CONSEQUENTLY, ACI URGES YOU TO CONTACT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISOR TO DETERMINE THE PARTICULAR TAX
CONSEQUENCES TO YOU OF THE OFFER.
Accounting Treatment
(See
page 85)
ACI will account for the acquisition of S1 Shares under the purchase method of accounting for
business transactions. ACI will be considered the acquirer of S1 for accounting purposes. In
determining the acquirer for accounting purposes, ACI considered the factors required under the
accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., which is referred to as U.S. GAAP.
Regulatory Approval and Status
(See
page 82)
U.S. Antitrust Clearance
The Exchange Offer is subject to review by the FTC and the Antitrust Division. Under the HSR
Act, the Exchange Offer may not be completed until certain information has been provided to the FTC
and the Antitrust Division and a required waiting period has expired or has been terminated.
ACI filed the required Notification and Report Form under the HSR Act with the Antitrust
Division and the FTC on July 27, 2011. Thereafter, the Antitrust Division informed ACI that, as
between the FTC and the Antitrust Division, the Antitrust Division would review ACIs filing. ACI withdrew its initial filing on August 26, 2011, and refiled it
on August 29, 2011 in order to permit the Antitrust Division to have additional time to review the filing. The
30-calendar day waiting period recommenced in connection with such
refiling so that it now expires, unless terminated earlier or
extended, at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on September 28, 2011. The Antitrust
Division may extend its review beyond the 30-calendar day waiting period by requesting additional
information and documentary material. In the event of such a request, the waiting period would be
extended until 11:59 p.m., Eastern time, on the 30th calendar day after ACI has made a proper
response to that request as specified by the HSR Act and the implementing rules.
The combination with S1 would provide ACI with enhanced scale, breadth and additional
capabilities to compete more effectively in the highly competitive payment systems marketplace. If
ACI were to acquire S1, the
23
combined company would continue to face intense competition from third-party software vendors,
in house solutions, processors, IT service organizations and credit card associations, including
from companies which are substantially larger and have substantially greater market shares than the
combined company would have. Moreover, the dynamic worldwide nature of the industry means that
competitive alternatives can and do regularly emerge. Thus, ACI does not believe the transaction
would enable it to obtain market power in, or even a significant share of, any relevant market.
Nonetheless, the Original ACI Merger Proposal contained provisions designed to provide S1 what
ACI believed to be an appropriate measure of assurance that the HSR Act condition would be
satisfied, including a $21.5 million fee that would be paid to S1 if that condition were not
satisfied and an undertaking to divest assets, subject to certain limitations (which were not
specified in the draft merger agreement delivered to S1), and take other actions if necessary to
obtain the expiration or termination of the HSR Act waiting period. ACI reiterated this commitment in connection with its delivery of the Enhanced ACI Merger Proposal.
Based on the foregoing, ACI believes that it will obtain clearance under the HSR Act, although
there necessarily can be no assurance with respect thereto.
Other Regulatory Approvals
The Exchange Offer and the Second-Step Merger will also be subject to review by antitrust and
other authorities in jurisdictions outside the U.S. ACI has filed or is in the process of filing
as soon as practicable all applications and notifications determined by ACI to be necessary or
advisable under the laws of the respective jurisdictions for the consummation of the Exchange Offer
and the Second-Step Merger.
For more information, please see the section of this prospectus/offer to exchange titled The
Exchange OfferCertain Legal Matters; Regulatory Approvals.
Listing of ACI Shares to be Issued Pursuant to the Exchange Offer and the Second-Step Merger
(See
page 73)
ACI will submit the necessary applications to cause the ACI Shares to be issued as the Stock
Consideration of the Exchange Offer and the Second-Step Merger to be authorized for listing on the
NASDAQ Global Select Market. Approval of this listing is a condition to the Exchange Offer.
Comparison of Stockholders Rights
(See
page 89)
You may receive ACI Shares as a portion of the Exchange Offer consideration, subject to your
election and proration. Because there are a number of differences between the rights of a
stockholder of S1 and the rights of a stockholder of ACI, ACI urges you to review the discussion in
the section of this prospectus/offer to exchange titled Comparison of Stockholders Rights.
Expiration Time of the Exchange Offer
(See
page 58)
The
Exchange Offer is scheduled to expire at 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on
Wednesday, September 28, 2011, which is the Expiration Time, unless further extended by Offeror. For more information, you

Extension, Termination and Amendment
(See
page 58)
To the extent legally permissible, Offeror also reserves the right, in its sole discretion, at
any time or from time to time (except as expressly limited below) until the Expiration Time:
|
|
|
to extend, for any reason, the period of time during which the Exchange Offer is
open; |
24
|
|
|
to delay acceptance for exchange of or exchange of any S1 Shares in order to comply
in whole or in part with applicable law; |
|
|
|
|
to terminate the Exchange Offer without accepting for exchange, or exchanging, any
S1 Shares if any of the individually subheaded conditions referred to in the section of
this prospectus/offer to exchange titled The Exchange OfferConditions of the
Exchange Offer have not been satisfied immediately prior to the Expiration Time or if
any event specified in the section of this prospectus/offer to exchange titled The
Exchange OfferConditions of the Exchange Offer under the subheading Other
Conditions has occurred; |
|
|
|
|
to amend or terminate the Exchange Offer without accepting for exchange, or
exchanging, any S1 Shares if ACI or any of its affiliates enters into a definitive
agreement or announces an agreement in principle with S1 providing for a merger,
acquisition or other business combination or transaction with or involving S1 or any of
its subsidiaries, or the purchase or exchange of securities or assets of S1 or any of
its subsidiaries, or ACI and S1 reach any other agreement or understanding, in either
case, pursuant to which it is agreed or provided that the Exchange Offer will be
terminated; and |
|
|
|
|
to amend the Exchange Offer or waive any conditions to the Exchange Offer; |
in each case, by giving oral or written notice of such delay, termination, waiver or amendment to
the exchange agent and by making public announcement thereof.
The Expiration Time may be subject to multiple extensions and any decision to extend the
Exchange Offer will be made prior to the Expiration Time. Additionally, Offeror may elect to
provide a subsequent offering period of at least three business days following the Expiration Time.
For more information, please see the section of this prospectus/offer to exchange titled The
Exchange OfferExtension, Termination and Amendment.
Procedure
for Tendering Shares
(See page 62)
The procedure for tendering S1 Shares varies depending on whether you possess physical
certificates, a nominee holds your certificates for you, or whether you or a nominee hold your S1
Shares in book-entry form. ACI urges you to read the section of this prospectus/offer to exchange
titled The Exchange OfferProcedure for Tendering as well as the transmittal materials,
including the letter of election and transmittal.
Withdrawal
Rights
(See page 65)
You can withdraw tendered S1 Shares at any time until the Exchange Offer has expired and, if
Offeror has not accepted your S1 Shares for exchange by the Expiration Time, at any time following
60 days from commencement of the Exchange Offer. If Offeror decides to provide a subsequent
offering period, it will accept S1 Shares validly tendered during that period immediately and you
will not be able to withdraw shares tendered in the Exchange Offer during any subsequent offering
period. Please see the section of this prospectus/offer to exchange titled The Exchange
OfferWithdrawal Rights.
Acceptance
for Exchange and Exchange of S1 Shares; Delivery of Exchange Offer
Consideration
(See page 60)
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Exchange Offer (including, if the Exchange
Offer is extended or amended, the terms and conditions of any such extension or amendment), Offeror
will accept for exchange, and will exchange for ACI Shares and cash promptly after the Expiration
Time, all S1 Shares validly tendered and not properly withdrawn. If Offeror elects to provide a
subsequent offering period following the Expiration Time, S1 Shares validly tendered during such
subsequent offering period will be accepted for exchange immediately upon tender and will be
promptly exchanged for the Exchange Offer consideration. For more
25
information, please see the section of this prospectus/offer to exchange under the caption
titled The Exchange OfferAcceptance for Exchange and Exchange of S1 Shares; Delivery of Exchange
Offer Consideration.
Cash
in Lieu of Fractional ACI Shares
(See page 61)
Certificates representing fractional ACI Shares will not be distributed in the Exchange Offer
or the Second-Step Merger. Instead, each tendering S1 stockholder who would otherwise be entitled
to a fractional ACI Share will receive cash (rounded to the nearest whole cent) in an amount
(without interest) equal to the product obtained by multiplying (a) the fractional share interest
to which such S1 stockholder would otherwise be entitled (after rounding such amount to the nearest
0.0001 share), by (2) the closing price of ACI Shares as reported on the NASDAQ Global Select
Market on the last trading day prior to the Expiration Time.
Elections
and Proration
(See page 61)
S1 stockholders may elect to receive the Stock Consideration or the Cash Consideration in
exchange for each S1 Share validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Exchange Offer,
subject, in the case of elections of the Cash Consideration or the Stock Consideration, to the
proration procedures described in this prospectus/offer to exchange and the related letter of
election and transmittal, by indicating their elections in the applicable section of the letter of
election and transmittal. If an S1 stockholder decides to change its election after tendering its
S1 Shares, such S1 stockholder must first properly withdraw the tendered S1 Shares and then
retender the S1 Shares prior to the Expiration Time, with a new letter of election and transmittal
that indicates the revised election. S1 stockholders who do not make an election will be deemed to
have elected the Cash Consideration.
S1 stockholders electing either the Cash Consideration or the Stock Consideration will be
subject to proration so that 62.0% of S1 Shares will be exchanged for the Cash Consideration and
38.0% of S1 Shares will be exchanged for the Stock Consideration in the Exchange Offer. S1
stockholders who do not participate in the Exchange Offer and whose shares are acquired in the
Second-Step Merger will receive the Proration Amount of Cash and Stock Consideration. The
elections of other S1 stockholders will affect whether a tendering S1 stockholder electing the Cash
Consideration or the Stock Consideration receives solely the type of consideration elected or if a
portion of such S1 stockholders tendered S1 Shares is exchanged for another form of consideration.
S1 stockholders who otherwise would be entitled to receive a fractional ACI Share will instead
receive cash in lieu of any fractional ACI Share such holder may have otherwise been entitled to
receive.
Risk
Factors
(See page 37)
The Exchange Offer and the Second-Step Merger are, and if the Exchange Offer and the
Second-Step Merger are consummated, the combined company will be, subject to several risks which
you should carefully consider prior to participating in the Exchange Offer.

Rule 436 under the Securities Act, ACI requires the consent of S1s independent auditors to
incorporate by reference their audit report to the S1 10-K in this prospectus/offer to exchange
and, because such consent has not been received, such audit report is not incorporated herein by

applied for a waiver
of this requirement under Rule 437 under the Securities Act should such consent not be made
available. If ACI receives this consent, ACI will promptly file it as an exhibit to ACIs
registration statement of which this prospectus/offer to exchange forms a part. Because ACI has
not been able to obtain S1s auditors consent, you may not be able to assert a claim against S1s
independent auditors under Section 11 of the Securities Act for any untrue statements of a material
fact contained in the financial statements audited by S1s independent auditors or any omissions to
state a material fact required to be stated therein.

SUMMARY SELECTED UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The following summary selected unaudited pro forma combined financial information has been
prepared to illustrate the effect of the combination of ACI and S1 and has been prepared for
informational purposes only. The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet information combines
information from the historical consolidated balance sheets of ACI and of S1 as of June 30, 2011,
giving effect to the acquisition of S1 by ACI as if it had occurred on June 30, 2011. The unaudited pro forma
combined statements of operations information combines information from the historical consolidated
statements of operations of ACI and of S1 for the year ended December 31, 2010 and the six months
ended June 30, 2011, giving effect to the acquisition of S1 by ACI as if it had occurred on January 1, 2010.
The summary selected unaudited pro forma combined financial information has been prepared using the
acquisition method of accounting under U.S. GAAP. ACI has been treated as the acquirer for
accounting purposes.
The summary selected unaudited pro forma combined financial information has been presented for
informational purposes only. The pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of what the
combined companys financial position or results of operations actually would have been had the
acquisition been completed as of the dates indicated. In addition, the summary selected unaudited
pro forma combined financial information does not purport to project the future financial position
or operating results of the combined company. S1 has not participated in the preparation of the
summary selected unaudited pro forma combined financial information, unaudited pro forma condensed
combined financial information or this prospectus/offer to exchange and has not reviewed or
verified the information, assumptions or estimates relating to SI in the unaudited pro forma
condensed combined financial information. The following information has been derived from, and
should be read in conjunction with, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial
information and related notes included in this prospectus/offer to
exchange. See Unaudited Condensed Combined Pro Forma Financial Information.
In respect of all information relating to S1 presented in, incorporated by reference into or
omitted from, this prospectus/offer to exchange, ACI has relied upon publicly available
information, including information publicly filed by S1 with the SEC. Although ACI has no
knowledge that would indicate that any statements contained herein regarding S1s condition,
including its financial or operating condition (based upon such publicly filed reports and
documents) are inaccurate, incomplete or untrue, ACI was not involved in the preparation of such
information and statements. For example, ACI has made adjustments and assumptions in preparing the
pro forma financial information presented in this prospectus/offer to exchange that have
necessarily involved ACIs estimates with respect to S1s financial information. Any financial,
operating or other information regarding S1 that may be detrimental to ACI following ACIs
acquisition of S1 that has not been publicly disclosed by S1, or errors in ACIs estimates due to
the lack of cooperation from S1, may have a material adverse effect on the business, financial
condition and results of operations of the combined company and the market value of ACI Shares
after the acquisition. See the section of this prospectus/offer to exchange titled Note on S1 Information.
This pro forma information is subject to risks and uncertainties, including those discussed in
the section of this prospectus/offer to exchange titled Risk Factors.

HISTORICAL AND PRO FORMA PER SHARE INFORMATION
The historical per share earnings, dividends, and book value of ACI and S1 shown in the tables
below are derived from their respective audited consolidated financial statements for the year
ended December 31, 2010 and their respective unaudited consolidated financial statements for the
six months ended June 30, 2011. The pro forma comparative basic and diluted earnings per share
data give effect to the acquisition using the acquisition method of accounting as if it had been
completed on January 1, 2010. The pro forma book value per share information was computed as if
the acquisition had been completed on June 30, 2011. You should read this information in
conjunction with the historical financial information of ACI and of S1 included elsewhere or
incorporated in this prospectus/offer to exchange, including ACIs and S1s financial statements
and related notes. The per share pro forma information assumes that all S1 Shares are converted
into ACI Shares at the exchange ratio of 0.1064. The equivalent pro forma per share information
was derived by multiplying the combined company pro forma per share information by the exchange
ratio of 0.1064.
The pro forma data shown in the tables below is unaudited and for illustrative purposes only.
You should not rely on this data as being indicative of the historical results that would have been
achieved had ACI and S1 always been combined or the future results that the combined company will
achieve after the consummation of the acquisition. This pro forma information is subject to risks
and uncertainties, including those discussed in the section entitled Risk Factors.

COMPARATIVE MARKET PRICE AND DIVIDEND INFORMATION
The following table sets forth the high and low sales prices per share of ACI Shares and S1
Shares for the periods indicated as reported on the consolidated tape of the NASDAQ Global Select
Market and the NASDAQ, as reported in the ACI 10-K and the S1 10-K, respectively, with respect to
the years 2009 and 2010, and thereafter as reported in publicly available sources. As reported in
the ACI 10-K, ACI has never declared or paid cash dividends on its capital stock and does not
anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Loan covenants contained in ACIs
current credit facility limit its ability to pay dividends on ACIs capital stock. As reported in
the S1 10-K, S1 has never declared or paid cash dividends on its capital stock and does not
anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future, although there are no restrictions
on S1s ability to do so. Please see the section of this prospectus/offer to exchange titled Note
on S1 Information.

The closing sales price for S1 Shares on July 25, 2011, the last trading day prior to the
announcement of the Original ACI Merger Proposal, was $7.13 per share. On July 26, 2011, the date
of announcement of the Original ACI Merger Proposal, the closing sales price for S1 Shares was
$9.26 per Share. ACI believes that the increase in trading prices was primarily attributable to
the Original ACI Merger Proposal. The closing sales price for S1
Shares on August 29, 2011, the
last trading day prior to the commencement of the Exchange Offer, was
$9.04 per share.
Based
on the $30.49 closing trading price per ACI Share on August 29, 2011, the last trading
day prior to this Exchange Offer, the relative value of the Cash-Stock Consideration reflected by
this Exchange Offer consisted of $6.20 in cash and $3.24 in ACI Shares per S1 Share as of such
date, or an aggregate blended value of $9.44 per S1 Share as of such date, assuming full proration. At the
$9.44 per S1 Share value of the Cash-Stock Consideration as of
August 29, 2011, the Exchange Offer
represented (1) a 32.4% premium to the closing sales price of S1 Shares on July 25, 2011, the last
trading day prior to the public announcement of the Original ACI
Merger Proposal, (2) a 30.9%
premium to the volume weighted average closing price of S1 Shares over the previous 90 days prior
to the announcement of the Original ACI Merger Proposal, and
(3) a 21.8% premium to the 52-week
high of S1 Shares for the 52-week period ending July 25, 2011. The value of the Stock
Consideration will change as the price of ACI Shares fluctuates during the Exchange Offer period
and thereafter may be higher or lower than the prices set forth in the examples above at the
expiration of the Exchange Offer and at the time you receive the ACI Shares. You are encouraged to
obtain current market quotations for the ACI Shares and the S1 Shares prior to making any decision
with respect to the Exchange Offer.

Consideration and the blended value of the Cash-Stock Consideration based on different assumed
prices for ACI Shares.

The prices of ACI Shares used in the above table, and the assumptions regarding the mix of
cash and/or stock a hypothetical S1 stockholder would receive, are for purposes of illustration
only. The value of the Stock Consideration will change as the price of ACI Shares fluctuates
during the Exchange Offer period and thereafter, and may therefore be higher or lower than the
prices set forth in the examples above at the expiration of the Exchange Offer and at the time you
receive the ACI Shares. S1s stockholders are encouraged to obtain current market quotations for
the ACI Shares and the S1 Shares prior to deciding whether to tender shares pursuant to the Exchange Offer, whether to exercise withdrawal
rights as provided herein and, with respect to the election, whether to receive the Cash
Consideration or the Stock Consideration or some combination thereof.
Please see the section of this prospectus/offer to exchange titled Risk Factors.
Please also see the section of this prospectus/offer to exchange titled The Exchange
OfferEffect of the Exchange Offer on the Market for S1 Shares; NASDAQ Listing; Registration Under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; Margin Regulations for a discussion of the possibility that
S1 Shares will cease to be listed on the NASDAQ.
36
RISK FACTORS
In addition to the risk factors set forth below, you should read and consider other risk
factors specific to each of the ACI and S1 businesses that will also affect ACI after consummation
of the Exchange Offer and the Second-Step Merger, described in Part I, Item 1A of each companys
annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 and other documents that have been
filed with the SEC, all of which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus/offer to
exchange. If any of the risks described below or in the reports incorporated by reference into
this prospectus/offer to exchange actually occurs, the respective businesses, financial results,
financial conditions, operating results or share prices of ACI or S1 could be materially adversely
affected.
Risk Factors Relating to the Exchange Offer and the Second-Step Merger
The value of the ACI Shares that the S1 stockholders could receive in the Exchange Offer as Stock
Consideration will vary as a result of the fixed exchange ratio and possible fluctuations in the
price of ACI Shares.
Upon consummation of the Exchange Offer, each S1 Share validly tendered into the Exchange
Offer and accepted by Offeror for exchange will be exchanged for ACI Shares at a fixed exchange
ratio of 0.2800 of an ACI Share for each S1 Share, subject to proration. The market value of the
ACI Shares issued in exchange for S1 Shares in the Exchange Offer will depend upon the market price
of an ACI Share at the date the Exchange Offer is consummated. If the price of ACI Shares
declines, S1 stockholders who receive the Stock Consideration could receive less value for their S1
Shares upon the consummation of the Exchange Offer than the value calculated pursuant to the
exchange ratio as of the date of the filing of this prospectus/offer to exchange. Stock price
changes may result from a variety of factors that are beyond the companies control, including
general market conditions, changes in business prospects, catastrophic events, both natural and
man-made, and regulatory considerations. In addition, the ongoing business of ACI may be adversely
affected by actions taken by ACI in connection with the Exchange Offer, including as a result of
(1) the attention of management of ACI having been diverted to the Exchange Offer instead of being
directed solely to ACIs own operations and pursuit of other opportunities that could have been
beneficial to ACI and the combined entity and (2) payment by ACI of certain costs relating to the
Exchange Offer, including certain legal, accounting and financial and capital markets advisory
fees.
Because the Exchange Offer and the Second-Step Merger will not be completed until certain
conditions have been satisfied or, where relevant, waived (please see the section of this
prospectus/offer to exchange titled The Exchange OfferConditions of the Exchange Offer), a
period of time, which may be significant, may pass between the commencement of the Exchange Offer
and the time that Offeror accepts S1 Shares for exchange. Therefore, at the time when you tender
your S1 Shares pursuant to the Exchange Offer, you will not know the exact market value of the ACI
Shares that will be issued if Offeror accepts such S1 Shares for exchange. However, tendered S1
Shares may be withdrawn at any time prior to the Expiration Time and at any time following 60 days
from commencement of the Exchange Offer. Please see the sections of this prospectus/offer to
exchange titled Comparative Market Price and Dividend Information for the historical high and low
closing prices of ACI Shares and S1 Shares for each quarter of the period 2009 through the date of
this prospectus/offer to exchange and The Exchange OfferWithdrawal Rights.
Furthermore, in connection with the Exchange Offer and the Second-Step Merger, ACI will need
to issue approximately 5.9 million ACI Shares. The increase in the number of ACI Shares may lead
to sales of such ACI Shares or the perception that such sales may occur, either of which may
adversely affect the market for, and the market price of, ACI Shares.
S1 stockholders are urged to obtain market quotations for ACI Shares and S1 Shares when they
consider whether to tender their S1 Shares pursuant to the Exchange Offer. Please see the section
of this prospectus/offer to exchange titled Comparative Market Price and Dividend Information.
The Exchange Offer may adversely affect the liquidity and value of non-tendered S1 Shares.
In the event that not all S1 Shares are tendered in the Exchange Offer and we accept for
exchange those S1 Shares tendered into the Exchange Offer, the number of stockholders and the
number of S1 Shares held by individual holders will be greatly reduced. As a result, Offerors
acceptance of S1 Shares for exchange in the Exchange Offer could adversely affect the liquidity and
could also adversely affect the market value of the
37
remaining S1 Shares held by the public. Additionally, subject to the rules of the NASDAQ, ACI
may delist the S1 Shares on the NASDAQ. As a result of such delisting, each issued and outstanding
S1 Share not tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer may become illiquid and may be of reduced
value. Please see the section of this prospectus/offer to exchange titled The Exchange
OfferPlans for S1.
The receipt of ACI Shares pursuant to the Exchange Offer and the Second-Step Merger would be
taxable based on the price of ACI Shares as of August 29, 2011 and could be taxable to S1
stockholders depending on facts surrounding the Exchange Offer and the Second-Step Merger.
Based on closing trading prices of
ACI Shares as of the date of this prospectus/offer to
exchange, the Exchange Offer would be taxable to you.
If the Exchange Offer and the
Second-Step Merger qualified as component parts
of an integrated transaction that constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section
368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Internal Revenue Code), your
exchange of S1 Shares for the Stock Consideration should be tax free, except to the extent that
you also receive cash. Whether or not they will so
qualify is dependent on whether certain factual requirements are met, including that the
Exchange Offer and Second-Step Merger are interdependent (that is, ACI would not undertake the
Exchange Offer without the intention and expectation of completing the Second-Step Merger). In
addition, there must be a continuity of interest of holders of S1 Shares in the combined
company. ACI believes that this test should be satisfied if the total value of the Stock Consideration
represents at least 40% of the total value of the consideration received by holders of S1 Shares, and may be satisfied at a
slightly lower percentage. If market prices for ACI Shares upon consummation of the Exchange Offer are less than $38.75, the
Stock Consideration would represent less than 40% of the total value of the Exchange Offer
consideration. You are urged to obtain current trading price information prior to making any
decision with respect to the Exchange Offer. We cannot provide any assurance as to whether these
conditions will be satisfied at this time, since it may be affected, among other things, by the
total value of the Stock Consideration at the time of the consummation of the Exchange Offer and
the Second-Step Merger.
If the integrated transaction does
not qualify as a reorganization, your exchange of S1 Shares
for the Stock Consideration in the Exchange Offer or the Second-Step Merger could be a taxable
transaction, depending on the surrounding facts. If the integrated
transaction constitutes a
reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, any gain (but not
loss) you realize on the transaction will be treated as a taxable capital gain or dividend in an
amount equal to the lesser of (1) the excess of the sum of the Cash Consideration and the fair
market value of the Stock Consideration you receive in the transaction over your basis in your
shares and (2) the amount of cash you receive in the transaction, including any cash you receive in
lieu of a fractional ACI Share, depending on your circumstances. If the offer does not constitute
part of an integrated transaction that qualifies as a reorganization within the meaning of Section
368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, you will recognize a capital gain or a capital loss to the
extent of the difference between your adjusted tax basis in your shares and the sum of the Cash
Consideration and the fair market value of the Stock Consideration you receive. For more
information, please see the section of this prospectus/offer to exchange titled The Exchange
OfferCertain Material Federal Income Tax Consequences.
ACI must obtain governmental and regulatory approvals to consummate the Exchange Offer, which, if
delayed or not granted, may jeopardize or delay the Exchange Offer, result in additional
expenditures of money and resources and/or reduce the anticipated benefits of the combination
contemplated by the Exchange Offer and the Second-Step Merger.
The Exchange Offer is conditioned on the receipt of all governmental and regulatory
authorizations, consents, orders and approvals determined to be necessary or advisable by ACI,
including without limitation, the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under
the HSR Act. If ACI does not receive these approvals, then Offeror will not be obligated to accept
S1 Shares for exchange in the Exchange Offer.
The governmental and regulatory agencies from which ACI will seek these approvals have broad
discretion in administering the applicable governing regulations. As a condition to their approval
of the transactions contemplated by this prospectus/offer to exchange, agencies may impose
requirements, limitations or costs or require divestitures or place restrictions on the conduct of
the combined companys business. These requirements, limitations, costs, divestitures or
restrictions could jeopardize or delay the consummation of the Exchange Offer or may reduce the
anticipated benefits of the combination contemplated by the Exchange Offer. Further, no assurance
38
can be given that the required consents and approvals will be obtained or that the required
conditions to the Exchange Offer will be satisfied, and, if all required consents and approvals are
obtained and the conditions to the consummation of the Exchange Offer are satisfied, no assurance
can be given as to the terms, conditions and timing of the consents and approvals. If ACI agrees
to any material requirements, limitations, costs, divestitures or restrictions in order to obtain
any consents or approvals required to consummate the Exchange Offer, these requirements,
limitations, additional costs or restrictions could adversely affect ACIs ability to integrate the
operations of ACI and S1 or reduce the anticipated benefits of the combination contemplated by the
Exchange Offer. This could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and
results of operations of the combined company and the market value of ACI Shares after the
acquisition. In addition, a third party could attempt to intervene in any governmental or
regulatory filings to be made by ACI or otherwise object to the granting to ACI of any such
governmental or regulatory authorizations, consents, orders or approvals, which may cause a delay
in obtaining, or the imposition of material requirements, limitations, costs, divestitures or
restrictions on, or the failure to obtain, any such authorizations, consents, orders or approvals.
Please see the section titled The Exchange OfferConditions of the Exchange Offer for a
discussion of the conditions to the Exchange Offer and the section titled The Exchange
OfferCertain Legal Matters; Regulatory Approvals for a description of the regulatory approvals
necessary in connection with the Exchange Offer and the Second-Step Merger.
The Exchange Offer remains subject to other conditions that ACI cannot control.
The Exchange Offer is subject to other conditions, including tender without withdrawal of a
sufficient number of S1 Shares to satisfy the Minimum Tender Condition, the termination of the
Fundtech Merger Agreement in such a manner as to satisfy the Fundtech Merger Agreement Condition,
the Delaware 203 Condition, no material adverse effect having occurred with respect to S1 and its
subsidiaries, S1 and its subsidiaries continuing to operate in the ordinary course of business
consistent with past practice and the registration statement of which this prospectus/offer to
exchange is a part becoming effective. There are no assurances that all of the conditions to the
Exchange Offer will be satisfied. In addition, the S1 Board may seek to take actions that will
delay, or frustrate, the satisfaction of one or more conditions. If the conditions to the Exchange
Offer are not met, then Offeror may allow the Exchange Offer to expire, or could amend or extend
the Exchange Offer.
Please see the section of this prospectus/offer to exchange titled The Exchange
OfferConditions of the Exchange Offer for a discussion of the conditions to the Exchange Offer.
Even if the Exchange Offer is completed, full integration of S1s operations with ACI may be
delayed if Offeror does not hold at least 90% of the outstanding S1 Shares following consummation
of the Exchange Offer.
The Exchange Offer is subject to the Minimum Tender Condition, which provides that, prior to
the Expiration Time, S1 stockholders shall have validly tendered and not withdrawn at least that
number of S1 Shares that, when added to the S1 Shares then owned by ACI, Offeror or any of ACIs
other subsidiaries, shall constitute a majority of the then-outstanding number of S1 Shares on a
fully diluted basis. If Offeror accepts S1 Shares for exchange and owns 90% or more of the
outstanding S1 Shares after the Exchange Offer is completed, the Second-Step Merger can be effected
as a short form merger under Delaware law without the consent of any stockholder (other than ACI)
and without the approval of the S1 Board. If Offeror does not acquire at least 90% of the
outstanding S1 Shares in the Exchange Offer or otherwise, then both S1 Board approval and S1
stockholder approval will be required to effect the Second-Step Merger. While the requirements of
an S1 stockholder and S1 Board approval would not prevent the Second-Step Merger from occurring,
because Offeror would hold sufficient S1 Shares to approve the Second-Step Merger, it could delay
the consummation of the Second-Step Merger and could delay the realization of some or all of the
anticipated benefits from integrating S1s operations with ACI, including, among others, achieving
some or all of the synergies associated with the acquisition of S1 by ACI.
The Exchange Offer is conditioned on termination of the Fundtech Merger Agreement, which could,
under certain circumstances, result in the payment of the Fundtech termination fee.
If the S1 Board terminates the Fundtech Merger Agreement, S1 may be bound to pay the Fundtech
termination fee, including in the circumstance where S1 subsequently agrees to enter into an
agreement with a third party in respect of another business combination.
39
You may be unable to assert a claim against S1s independent auditors under Section 11 of the
Securities Act.
Section 11(a) of the Securities Act provides that if part of a registration statement at the
time it becomes effective contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, any
person acquiring a security pursuant to such registration statement (unless it is proved that at
the time of such acquisition such person knew of such untruth or omission) may assert a claim
against, among others, any accountant or expert who has consented to be named as having certified
any part of the registration statement or as having prepared any report for use in connection with
the registration statement. Although audit reports were issued on S1s historical financial
statements and are included in S1s filings with the SEC, S1s independent auditors have not yet
permitted the use of their reports in ACIs registration statement of which this prospectus/offer
to exchange forms a part. ACI has requested and has, as of the date hereof, not received the
consent of such independent auditors. ACI reserves the right to apply for a waiver of this
requirement under Rule 437 of the Securities Act should such consent not be made available.
Accordingly, you may not be able to assert a claim against S1s independent auditors under Section
11 of the Securities Act.
Risk Factors Relating to S1s Businesses
You should read and consider other risk factors specific to S1s businesses that will also
affect ACI after the acquisition contemplated by this prospectus/offer to exchange, described in
Part I, Item 1A of the S1 10-K and other documents that have been filed by S1 with the SEC and
which are incorporated by reference into this document. See the section of this prospectus/offer to exchange titled Where You Can Find More Information.
Risk Factors Relating to ACIs Businesses
You should read and consider other risk factors specific to ACIs businesses that will also
affect ACI after the acquisition contemplated by this prospectus/offer to exchange, described in
Part I, Item 1A of the ACI 10-K and other documents that have been filed by ACI with the SEC and
which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus/offer to
exchange. See the section of this prospectus/offer to exchange titled Where You Can Find More Information.
Risk Factors Relating to ACI Following the Exchange Offer
ACI may experience difficulties integrating S1s businesses, which could cause ACI to fail to
realize the anticipated benefits of the acquisition.
If ACIs acquisition of S1 is consummated, achieving the anticipated benefits of the
acquisition will depend in part upon whether the two companies integrate their businesses in an
effective and efficient manner. The companies may not be able to accomplish this integration
process smoothly or successfully. The integration of certain operations following the acquisition
will take time and will require the dedication of significant management resources, which may
temporarily distract managements attention from the routine business of the combined entity.
Any delay or inability of management to successfully integrate the operations of the two
companies could compromise the combined entitys potential to achieve the anticipated long-term
strategic benefits of the acquisition and could have a material adverse effect on the business,
financial condition and results of operations of the combined company and the market value of ACI
Shares after the acquisition.
ACI may be subject to unknown liabilities of S1 which may have a material adverse effect on ACIs
profitability, financial condition and results of operations.
The consummation of the Exchange Offer may constitute a default, or an event that, with or
without notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default, or result in the acceleration
or other change of any right or obligation (including, without limitation, any payment obligation)
under agreements of S1 that are not publicly available. As a result, after the consummation of the
Exchange Offer, ACI may be subject to unknown liabilities of S1, which may have a material adverse
effect on the business, financial condition and results of operations of the combined company and
the market value of ACI Shares after the acquisition.
In addition, the Exchange Offer may also permit a counter-party to an agreement with S1 to
terminate that agreement because completion of the Exchange Offer or the Second-Step Merger would
cause a default or violate an
40
anti-assignment, change of control or similar clause. If this
happens, ACI may have to seek to replace that
agreement with a new agreement. ACI cannot assure you that it will be able to replace a
terminated agreement on comparable terms or at all. Depending on the importance of a terminated
agreement to S1s business, failure to replace that agreement on similar terms or at all may
increase the costs to ACI of operating S1s business or prevent ACI from operating part or all of
S1s business.
Future results of the combined company may differ materially from the Selected Unaudited Condensed
Consolidated Pro Forma Financial Information of ACI and S1 presented in this prospectus/offer to
exchange.
The future results of ACI following the consummation of the Exchange Offer may be materially
different from those shown in the Selected Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Pro Forma Financial
Information presented in this prospectus/offer to exchange, which show only a combination of ACIs
and S1s historical results after giving effect to the Exchange Offer. ACI has estimated that it
will record approximately $25.8 million in transaction expenses, as described in the notes to the
Selected Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Pro Forma Financial Information included in this
prospectus/offer to exchange. In addition, the final amount of any charges relating to acquisition
accounting adjustments that ACI may be required to record will not be known until following the
consummation of Exchange Offer and Second-Step Merger. These and other expenses and charges may be
higher or lower than estimated.
Our business, which depends heavily on revenue from customers in the banking and insurance
industries and other financial services firms, may be materially adversely impacted by volatile
U.S. and global market and economic conditions, which could adversely affect the value of ACI
Shares received as part of the Exchange Offer.
For the foreseeable future, we expect to continue to derive most of our revenue from products
and services we provide to the banking and insurance industries and other financial services firms
and retailers. Given the concentration of our business activities in financial industries, we may
be particularly exposed to economic downturns in those industries. U.S. and global market and
economic conditions have been disrupted and volatile over the past several years. General business
and economic conditions that could affect us and our customers include fluctuations in debt and
equity capital markets, liquidity of the global financial markets, the availability and cost of
credit, investor and consumer confidence, and the strength of the economies in which our customers
operate. A poor economic environment could result in significant decreases in demand for our
products and services, including the delay or cancellation of current or anticipated projects, and
adversely affect our operating results. In addition to mergers and acquisitions in the banking
industry, we have seen an increased level of bank closures and government supervised consolidation
transactions. Our existing customers may be acquired by or merged into other financial
institutions that have their own financial software solutions, be closed by regulators, or decide
to terminate their relationships with us for other reasons. As a result, our sales could decline
if an existing customer is merged with or acquired by another company or closed. Additionally, our
investment portfolio is generally subject to credit, market, liquidity and interest rate risks and
the value and liquidity of our investments may be adversely impacted by U.S. and global market and
economic conditions including bank closures.

THE ACQUISITION, BACKGROUND AND REASONS FOR THE EXCHANGE OFFER
The Proposed Acquisition; Plans and Proposals
In its effort to consummate the acquisition of S1, ACI is pursuing the following alternative
transactions:
(1) the Enhanced ACI Merger Proposal (the S1 Board rejected the Original ACI Merger Proposal
on or about August 2, 2011); and
(2) the Exchange Offer.
The Enhanced ACI Merger Proposal and the Exchange Offer are alternative methods for ACI to acquire
S1. Ultimately, only one of these transactions can be pursued to completion. ACI intends to seek
to acquire S1 by whichever method ACI determines is most likely to be completed.
On July 26, 2011, ACI publicly announced the Original ACI Merger Proposal to combine the
businesses of ACI and S1 through a merger transaction in which ACI would acquire all of the issued
and outstanding S1 Shares in a cash and stock transaction. Based on
the $35.70 closing trading
price per ACI Share on July 25, 2011, the last trading day prior to the Original ACI Merger
Proposal, the relative value of the Cash-Stock Consideration reflected by the Original ACI Merger
Proposal as of such date consisted of $5.70 in cash and $3.80 in ACI Shares per S1 Share (or an
implied exchange ratio of 0.1064 shares), assuming full proration, or
an aggregate value of $9.50
per S1 Share. On August 2, 2011, S1 announced that the S1 Board had rejected the Original ACI
Merger Proposal, stating:
S1 Corporation (Nasdaq: SONE) announced today that its Board of Directors, after thorough
consideration and consultation with its legal and financial advisors, has rejected ACI
Worldwide, Inc.s (ACI) previously announced proposal to acquire S1. The Board
unanimously concluded that pursuing discussions with ACI at this time is not in the best
financial or strategic interests of S1 and its stockholders. In doing so, the Board affirmed
its commitment to S1s pending business combination with Fundtech.
The S1 Board gave careful consideration to each of the proposed terms and conditions of
ACIs proposal. In the end, the Board determined that ACIs proposal is not in the best
interests of S1 and its stockholders. We believe that continuing to execute on our
long-term business plan, which includes the business combination with Fundtech, will best
help us maximize stockholder value and achieve our strategic goals, stated John W. Spiegel,
Chairman of the Board of Directors of S1.
On August 25, 2011,
ACI publicly announced the Enhanced ACI Merger Proposal, increasing the
cash consideration payable under the Original ACI Merger Proposal by
$0.50 per S1 Share,
assuming full proration (which, based on the closing trading prices as of July 26, 2011, the date
of the Original ACI Merger Proposal, would result in a blended value, assuming full proration, of
$10.00 per S1 Share). Based on the closing sales price for ACI Shares on August 29, 2011, the last trading day
prior to the commencement of the Exchange Offer, the blended value of the Cash-Stock Consideration as of the close of
trading on August 29, 2011 was $9.44 per S1 Share, assuming full proration.
On August 25, 2011, ACI filed a proxy statement in connection with its solicitation of
proxies against the adoption of Fundtech Merger Proposals and a vote against such proposals brought
before any S1 Special Stockholder Meeting as discussed in more detail in such proxy statement.
ACI would prefer to acquire S1 in a merger transaction of the type contemplated by the
Enhanced ACI Merger Proposal. However, in light of the S1 Boards rejection of the Original ACI
Merger Proposal, ACI is making the Exchange Offer directly to S1 stockholders on the terms and
conditions set forth in this prospectus/offer to exchange as an alternative to the Enhanced ACI
Merger Proposal. The amount of cash and the number of ACI Shares offered in this Exchange Offer
are the same as in the Enhanced ACI Merger Proposal.
S1 has the right to terminate the Fundtech Merger Agreement and enter into a merger agreement
with a third party such as ACI in certain events, including in the event that the S1 Board
determined that such third partys proposed transaction constitutes a Parent Superior Proposal
under the Fundtech Merger Agreement. As discussed in Reasons for the Exchange Offer below, ACI
believes that the Enhanced ACI Merger Proposal is superior financially and otherwise to the
Fundtech Merger Proposal. However, in order for S1 to terminate the Fundtech Merger Agreement, the
S1 Board must determine that the Enhanced ACI Merger Proposal, or the Exchange Offer, constitutes
or would reasonably be expected to result in a Parent Superior Proposal, and on or about August 2,
43
2011, the S1 Board rejected the Original ACI Merger Proposal and reaffirmed S1s commitment to
the Proposed Fundtech Merger. S1 also may terminate the Fundtech Merger Agreement if S1
stockholders vote against the approval of the issuance of S1 Shares in the Proposed Fundtech Merger
and in certain other events. ACI intends, if applicable, to vote any S1 Shares beneficially owned by it, including S1 Shares purchased in the Exchange Offer from holders of
record as of the record date of the S1 Special Stockholder Meeting if such meeting is delayed or
adjourned, against the issuance of S1 shares in the Proposed Fundtech Merger
and is soliciting proxies from S1 stockholders voting against such issuance.
Termination of the Fundtech Merger Agreement is one of the conditions to the Exchange Offer.
Whether or not ACI will waive this condition will depend on future facts which cannot presently be
ascertained, including how many S1 Shares are tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer and actions
taken by S1, the S1 Board and S1 stockholders. If the Fundtech Merger Agreement were terminated,
S1 may be required to pay Fundtech a $14.6 million break-up fee. The payment of such fee is
permitted by the Exchange Offer, was contemplated in the Enhanced ACI Merger Proposal and will not
be considered by ACI in deciding whether the conditions to the Exchange Offer have been satisfied.
See Conditions to the Exchange Offer.
In the event that Offeror accepts S1 Shares for exchange in the Exchange Offer, ACI, through
Offeror, intends to acquire any additional outstanding S1 Shares pursuant to the Second-Step
Merger, although ACI, through Offeror, also reserves the right, subject to applicable law, to
acquire S1 Shares pursuant to other means, including open market purchases and privately negotiated
transactions. If Offeror accepts S1 Shares for exchange and, pursuant to the Exchange Offer or
otherwise, owns 90% or more of the outstanding S1 Shares, the Second-Step Merger can be effected as
a short form merger under Delaware law without the consent of any stockholder (other than ACI)
and without the approval of the S1 Board. However, if Offeror does not acquire at least 90% of the
outstanding S1 Shares in the Exchange Offer or otherwise, then both S1 Board approval and S1
stockholder approval would be required to effect the Second-Step Merger.
If the Exchange Offer is completed and Offeror acquires a majority of the outstanding S1
Common Stock, subject to applicable law, ACI currently expects to seek to replace the existing S1
Board or increase the size of the S1 Board and elect ACI nominees who would in the aggregate
constitute a majority of the members of the S1 Board. See Appendix A to this prospectus/offer
exchange for information as to the individuals, all of whom are currently directors or officers of
ACI, that ACI currently expects it would propose to elect to the S1 Board. S1s certificate of
incorporation provides for staggered director terms. Under Delaware law, the members
of the S1 Board cannot be removed during their respective terms in office other than for cause.
However, S1s certificate of incorporation also permits stockholders to act by written consent in
lieu of a meeting, and ACI believes that it could act by written consent to change the composition
of the S1 Board. ACI reserves the right, subject to applicable law, to commence a consent
solicitation or take other action prior to or after the Expiration Time of the Exchange Offer to
seek to change the composition of the S1 Board. ACIs director nominees pursuant to such consent
solicitation, if it occurs, may include persons other than those identified on Appendix A. Any
such consent solicitation will be made only pursuant to separate consent solicitation materials
filed with and in accordance with the requirements of the rules and regulations of the SEC.
Under Section 203 of the DGCL, ACI may not effect the Second-Step Merger for a period of three
years following the acquisition of S1 Shares in the Exchange Offer unless (1) ACI obtains the
approval of the S1 Board prior to obtaining beneficial ownership of more than 15% of the S1 Shares,
(2) ACI acquires beneficial ownership of at least 85% of the outstanding S1 Shares in the Exchange
Offer or another transaction in which it acquires greater than 15% ownership of S1, or (3) if
either the conditions set forth in clause (1) or (2) is not satisfied, the Second-Step Merger is
approved by the S1 Board and the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding S1 Shares not
owned by ACI. The completion of the Exchange Offer is subject to the Delaware 203 Condition, which
means either that (1) or (2) must apply. Whether or not ACI will waive this condition will depend
on future facts which cannot presently be ascertained, including how many S1 Shares are tendered
pursuant to the Exchange Offer and actions taken by S1 or the S1 Board.
For more details relating to the structure of the Exchange Offer, please see the section of
this prospectus/offer to exchange titled The Exchange Offer.

Background of the Exchange Offer
As part of the ongoing evaluation of its businesses, ACI regularly considers strategic
acquisitions, capital investments, divestitures and other possible transactions. In connection with
such strategic evaluation, ACI has in the past considered a potential business combination
transaction involving S1 and in connection therewith engaged in discussions with representatives of
S1 over an approximately one-year period beginning in the Summer of 2010.
On August 30, 2010, Philip G. Heasley, ACIs Chief Executive Officer, met in Atlanta, Georgia,
with Johann Dreyer, S1s Chief Executive Officer. During that meeting, Mr. Heasley expressed an
interest in pursuing a possible acquisition of S1 by ACI.
On September 30, 2010, members of ACIs senior management met in Atlanta, Georgia with members
of S1s senior management to discuss a possible acquisition of S1 by ACI. In that meeting, the
representatives of ACI indicated a possible price range of $7.50 to $8.00 per S1 Share. The
closing sales price for S1 Shares as reported on the NASDAQ Market was $5.25 per share on September
29, 2010, the last trading day prior to that meeting. At the meeting, Mr. Dreyer indicated that he
did not believe that it was opportune timing for S1 to be sold, but S1 might consider an enhanced
proposal.
On October 6, 2010, representatives of S1 and ACI had a follow-up conversation in which the
representatives of S1 informed the representatives of ACI that, after reviewing the matter with the
S1 Board, S1 was not for sale and the S1 Board did not desire to initiate a sale process. They also
mentioned that they believed that the price range that ACI had indicated was too low, but indicated
that the S1 Board might be willing to consider a transaction at an increased valuation. ACI
interpreted that communication as meaning that S1 would consider a transaction at a higher price
other than the $7.50-$8.00 per share range that ACI had indicated, although there can be no
assurance that this was intended. In the October 6, 2010 call, the representatives of S1 also said
that the S1 Board acknowledged the rationale for a possible combination of S1 and ACI, but
indicated that S1 would be willing to continue discussions only if the parties signed a standstill
agreement.
On October 22, 2010, S1 and ACI signed an agreement that restricted ACIs ability to acquire
S1 Shares or make any tender offer or other proposal to acquire S1. These restrictions expired
prior to July 26, 2011. During the standstill period, ACI did not buy any S1 Shares and made
proposals to acquire S1 confidentially.
On October 25, 2010, representatives of ACIs and S1s managements and financial advisors met
in Atlanta, Georgia to discuss the S1 business and a possible transaction. From time to time
thereafter, certain of S1s senior managers, representatives of S1s financial advisor and S1s
counsel held additional discussions with members of ACIs senior management team and legal and
financial advisors concerning a possible transaction.
On November 19, 2010, ACI submitted a written proposal to S1 to acquire S1 in an all-cash
transaction at a price of $8.40 per S1 Share, subject to confirmatory due diligence. ACI included a
letter from a major financial institution stating that such institution was highly confident that
ACI could raise the funds necessary to acquire S1 in an all-cash transaction at $8.40 per share. In
the November 19, 2010 proposal, ACI noted, among other things, [w]e believe our proposal
constitutes an extremely attractive opportunity for your stockholders. Our price represents a
premium of 38% over the current market price of S1s common stock and a premium of 42% over the
average market price over the past year. After ACI submitted the proposal letter, S1
representatives raised concerns about ACIs ability to finance an all-cash acquisition of S1 and
regulatory considerations. ACI representatives indicated that ACI believed that it could satisfy
any such concerns, and undertook to do so.
On December 9, 2010, Mr. Heasley spoke with Messrs. Dreyer and John W. Spiegel, Chairman of
the S1 Board, regarding ACIs November 19th proposal. The parties also discussed ACI and S1s
overlapping stockholder base and the potential for a mix of stock and cash consideration in an
ACI-S1 transaction. On December 20, 2010, ACI delivered a draft merger agreement to S1. The draft
merger agreement contemplated the payment of the purchase price in cash or stock, as elected by S1
stockholders.
From time to time between December 2010 and February 2011, representatives of ACIs management
and ACIs legal and financial advisors held additional discussions with representatives of S1s
management and S1s legal and financial advisors concerning a possible transaction. On January 13,
2011, ACI sent a follow-up letter to
45
S1 in an effort to progress the dialogue between the parties and to commence due diligence. During
January 2011, S1s financial advisor on several times rescheduled a lender due diligence session,
which was finally scheduled for March 3, 2011 but cancelled after S1 sent a letter to ACI on
February 18, 2011 stating among other things that S1 was terminating discussions with ACI as the S1
Board had determined that it is in the best interests of S1 and its stockholders to focus our
efforts on executing our long-term business plan.
On March 10, 2011, S1 published its 2010 earnings release and provided public guidance with
respect to its 2011 outlook. In late March 2011, Mr. Heasley initiated contact with S1 in an effort
to continue discussion regarding a possible transaction. On April 5, 2011, Mr. Heasley met in
person with Messrs. Dreyer and Spiegel in Atlanta, Georgia. On April 12, 2011, ACI submitted an
acquisition proposal (including a revised draft of a definitive merger agreement) at a price of
$8.40 per S1 Share, 55% of which was to be paid in cash and 45% in ACI Shares. In its proposal, ACI
noted, among other things, [t]his proposal represents a premium of 26.1% over the current market
price of S1s common stock and a premium of 37.4% over the average market price over the past year.
We believe that this price is at a level at which your stockholders would enthusiastically support
such a transaction.
On April 15, 2011, representatives of ACIs financial advisor held a discussion with
representatives of S1s financial advisor regarding ACIs proposal. The financial advisors had
additional contacts from time to time concerning the proposal between April 15, 2011 and June 14,
2011.
On June 14, 2011, Mr. Heasley spoke with Messrs. Dreyer and Spiegel regarding ACIs proposal.
During the call, Mr. Spiegel informed Mr. Heasley that S1 was not interested in pursuing a possible
transaction with ACI. No mention was made that S1 was simultaneously pursuing discussions with
Fundtech relating to a possible merger transaction. Later that day, Mr. Heasley sent a follow-up
letter to Mr. Spiegel requesting a response from the S1 Board regarding ACIs proposed valuation
and other key terms. The June 14, 2011 letter, in relevant part, is as follows:
June 14, 2011
Mr. John W. Spiegel
Chairman of the Board of Directors
S1 Corporation
705 Westech Drive
Norcross, Georgia 30092
Dear John,
I appreciated your feedback during our call this morning. I was surprised by your Boards lack of
response to our April 12th proposal.
ACI and our advisors have complied with all of the process requirements that S1 management and your
advisors have communicated to us since last Fall. First, our financing advisors, Goldman Sachs and
Wells Fargo, have had multiple interactions with S1 management and your advisor providing you with
certainty of the financial structure we proposed. Second, our legal advisor, Jones Day, has had
several
conversations with your external counsel to address any regulatory concerns around the proposed
transaction. Also, Jones Day submitted on December 20, 2010, a fair and balanced merger agreement
and
a revised version on April 12, 2011, to which we have still not received any feedback.
We have studied the regulatory backdrop applicable to the proposed transaction. As reflected in the
April 12th merger agreement, we believe the regulatory review process will not impact the certainty
of
closing and we have outlined measures in the agreement that demonstrate our confidence in this
view.
To date, your Board has not provided any response to our proposed valuation or other key terms. We
would have liked to have had a discussion on value, but are now left to determine valuation based
on publicly available information. With the nine-month standstill period expiring on July 22nd, we
still
believe it would be in the best interests of S1 and your Board to engage with ACI to maximize value
for
S1s shareholders.
46
The combination of ACI and S1 would create a leading global player in the enterprise payments
software
industry. As I have indicated, the combination of our companies would not only benefit your
shareholders, but would also offer more and better options to customers within our marketplace. We
sincerely hope that we will move forward in a negotiated transaction which can be presented to your
stockholders as the joint effort of ACI and S1 Boards of Directors and management teams.
This opportunity has the highest priority for us and we are committed to work with S1 and your
Board in
any way we can to expeditiously move this forward.

On
June 27, 2011, S1 and Fundtech announced that they had entered into the Fundtech Merger Agreement.
On July 26, 2011, ACI delivered a proposal letter containing the Original ACI Merger Proposal
to the S1 Board and issued a press release announcing the Original ACI Merger Proposal. The letter
read as follows:
July 26, 2011
Board of Directors
S1 Corporation
705 Westech Drive
Norcross, Georgia 30092
Attn: Mr. John W. Spiegel, Chairman of the Board
Gentlemen:
We are
pleased to submit the following proposal by which ACI Worldwide and
S1 Corporation would combine to create a
leading
global enterprise payments company. We propose to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding common
stock of S1 in a cash and stock transaction valued at $9.50 per share. This equates to a 33%
premium to
S1s closing market price on July 25, 2011, a 32% premium to S1s 90-day volume weighted average
price and a 23% premium to S1s 52-week high. Our proposal is being made pursuant to and in
accordance with the superior offer provisions you provided for in your June 26, 2011 merger
agreement
with Fundtech.
Given the overlapping shareholder base of our companies, we believe that a cash and stock
transaction is
ideal for all stakeholders, as it provides a mix of immediate value, tax efficiency and the ability
to benefit
from significant synergies. Accordingly, the form of consideration in our proposal consists of 40%
in ACI
stock and 60% in cash. In addition, our proposal includes a cash election feature, subject to
proration,
designed to provide your shareholders with the optimal consideration of cash and/or stock for their
individual circumstances and preferences. Upon completion of our proposed transaction and based on
the
most recent closing price of ACIs common stock, S1 shareholders would own approximately 15% of the
combined company on a fully diluted basis.
We believe the combination of ACI and S1 provides specific tangible benefits to the combined
shareholders, including, among others:
Combination of complementary products and expanded customer bases, providing a rich set of
capabilities and a broad portfolio of products to serve customers across the entire
electronic payments spectrum;
47
The creation of an approximate $100 million in revenue hosting business serving our
collective customer base with enhanced margins due to the consolidation of fixed
infrastructure;
Expanded presence in high-growth international markets and additional capabilities with
respect to ACIs retailer payments and online banking solutions;
Substantial synergy opportunities by leveraging ACIs established global cost structure,
eliminating redundant operating expenses and consolidating our on-demand operations and
facilities; and
Strong financial profile with full year earnings accretion in 2012.
We believe that our premium stock and cash proposal is both financially and strategically superior
to your
proposed transaction with Fundtech. Our proposal offers substantially greater current financial
value to
S1 shareholders in the form of a meaningful premium to the current stock price and a clearer, more
expedient path to value creation over the long-term through the realization of significant
synergies, with
less risk and uncertainty than the Fundtech transaction. Additionally, our proposed combination
creates a
more diverse, long-term shareholder base for the pro forma company.
Our proposal contemplates that, following the completion of the transaction, S1 shareholders would
have
a meaningful ownership stake in ACI, which has:
Produced a shareholder return of approximately 91% over the past three years,
significantly
outperforming the relevant peer group;
Increased 60-month backlog to $1.6 billion in 2010, up $350 million since 2006;
Driven monthly recurring revenue to 68% in 2010, up nearly 29% since 2007; and
Increased Adjusted EBITDA margin to 21% in 2010, from 7% in 2007.
Not only have we executed our historical business plan, as evidenced by our strong second quarter
earnings, we have raised our 2011 guidance and are firmly committed to achieving our five-year
strategy.
Our proposal includes committed financing from Wells Fargo Bank for the cash portion of the
transaction. As such, the proposed transaction is not subject to any financing condition. In addition, we have
completed a review of applicable regulatory requirements and, while we do not expect any issues to
delay
closing, our merger agreement contains appropriate undertakings by us to assure HSR clearance.
Our proposal is subject to the negotiation of a mutually acceptable definitive merger agreement, a
draft of
which we are including as part of our proposal. Consummation of the transaction is subject to
satisfaction
of customary closing conditions, including expiration of the waiting period under the
Hart-Scott-Rodino
Antitrust Improvements Act. You will see that our draft is the same as the Fundtech Merger
Agreement
except for changes required in order to effect our transaction. We are prepared to promptly
conclude our
confirmatory due diligence and to give you and your representatives immediate due diligence access
to us.
We believe that our proposal represents a Parent Superior Offer that clearly meets the standards
set forth
in Section 6.7(a) of your Fundtech Merger Agreement as it is more favorable to S1 shareholders from
a
financial point of view than the Fundtech transaction, and it is likely to be completed, taking
into account
all financial, regulatory, legal and other aspects of our proposal. Accordingly, we believe that
you must,
consistent with the Fundtech Merger Agreement, provide us with confidential information and
participate
in discussions and negotiations with us to finalize a transaction.
We stand ready and willing to promptly engage with S1 on this transaction, so that together we can
effect
a transaction that benefits both companies shareholders. That said, we are committed to making
this
transaction a reality.
48
Our Board of Directors has unanimously approved the submission of this proposal. We and our
financial
and legal advisors are prepared to move forward immediately with you and your advisors to finalize
a
mutually beneficial agreement, and make the combination of S1 and ACI a reality, for the benefit of
both
companies shareholders.
We look forward to hearing from you.

Enclosures
On July 27, 2011, ACI filed a Notification and Report Form with the FTC and Antitrust
Department under the HSR Act relating to the Original ACI Merger Proposal.
On August 2, 2011, S1 announced that the S1 Board had rejected the Original ACI Merger
Proposal based on the S1 Boards determination that pursuing discussions with ACI at this time is
not in the best financial or strategic interests of S1 and its stockholders. According to S1s
August 2, 2011 press release, Mr. Spiegel said:
The S1 Board gave careful consideration to each of the proposed terms and conditions of
ACIs proposal. In the end, the Board determined that ACIs proposal is not in the best
interests of S1 and its stockholders. We believe that continuing to execute on our long-term
business plan, which includes the business combination with Fundtech, will best help us
maximize stockholder value and achieve our strategic goals.
On
August 11, 2011, S1 announced that it had set August 18,
2011 as the record date
and September 22, 2011 as the date of the S1 Special
Stockholder Meeting. On August 22, 2011, S1 filed
its definitive proxy statement with the SEC and reported that it had commenced mailing its proxy
statement to S1 stockholders on or about August 22, 2011.
On August 25, 2011, ACI delivered a proposal letter to S1s Board containing the Enhanced ACI
Merger Proposal, increasing the cash consideration by $0.50 per S1
Share, assuming full proration, and issued a press
release announcing the Enhanced ACI Merger Proposal. The letter read as follows:

Chairman of the Board of Directors
S1 Corporation

Norcross, Georgia 30092
Dear John:
We remain committed to acquiring S1 Corporation and are pleased to inform you that we have enhanced
our proposal in order to provide S1 shareholders with additional value certainty for their
investment.
Given the recent significant market volatility, ACI Worldwide, Inc. has increased its cash and
stock proposal from $5.70 per share plus 0.1064 ACI shares to $6.20 per share, plus 0.1064 ACI
shares, assuming full proration.
49
We are confident that your shareholders will find our enhanced proposal to be superior to the
Fundtech Ltd. transaction, and we stand ready and willing to promptly engage with S1 to consummate
a transaction that benefits both companies shareholders. Based on the closing price of ACI stock
on July 25, 2011, the day prior to our initial proposal, our enhanced proposal provides a per share
consideration of $10.00 to each S1 shareholder. Based on the closing price of ACI stock on August
24, 2011, our enhanced proposal provides a per share consideration of $9.29 to each S1 shareholder.
ACIs enhanced proposal also equates to a:
30% premium to S1s unaffected closing market price on July 25, 2011;
29% premium to the volume weighted average price of S1 shares over the previous 90 days
prior to July 25, 2011; and
20% premium to the 52-week high of S1 shares, for the 52-week period ending July 25, 2011.
When evaluating our enhanced proposal, we strongly encourage you to consider at what price levels
S1
would be trading absent the ACI proposal. Since we made our proposal on July 26, 2011, the NASDAQ
Index has declined by 13% while S1s stock price, affected by the value of the ACI proposal, has
generally avoided the declines experienced in the overall market. Furthermore, we believe that your
shareholders know that, had ACI not made its proposal, S1s share price would have been affected by
the
overall decline in stock market valuations. We also believe that the S1 shareholder reaction to our
proposal, despite the significant ensuing market volatility, underscores its strength.
Your August 22, 2011, shareholder letter questioned whether we had the financing for the cash
portion of
our merger proposal as well as our commitment to obtain clearance under the Hart-Scott-Rodino (HSR)
Act. To resolve these issues, we have a fully executed commitment letter from Wells Fargo Bank,
N.A.
sufficient to fund the cash required by our proposal and to finance our ongoing operations, and we
would
be pleased to provide a copy of such commitment letter upon request. In addition, we reiterate that
we
are willing to provide appropriate assurance of satisfaction of the HSR Act condition, including a
divestiture commitment (if required) and substantial break-up compensation. However, it does not
withstand scrutiny for S1 to, on the one hand, refuse to engage with us on these issues and, on the
other
hand, point to these issues as a reason for not engaging in the first place.
As S1 has been unwilling to engage, we are taking the actions we believe necessary to consummate
our
proposed transaction. We are filing our definitive proxy statement to begin solicitation of votes
against the proposed Fundtech transaction and, rest assured, we will take all actions necessary to
advance our proposal. We would, however, strongly prefer to begin a direct dialogue with S1s
management and advisors.
We believe that our proposal represents a Parent Superior Offer that clearly meets the standards
set forth
in Section 6.7(a) of the Fundtech merger agreement as it is more favorable to S1 shareholders from
a
financial point of view than the Fundtech transaction and it is likely to be completed, taking into
account
all financial, regulatory, legal and other aspects of our proposal.
We remain convinced of the strategic benefits of this transaction and strongly believe that it is
in the best
interests of both ACIs and S1s shareholders. We look forward to your prompt reply.

On
August 25, 2011, ACI filed with the SEC and began mailing its proxy statement soliciting
votes AGAINST the Fundtech Merger Proposals.
On August 26, 2011, ACI withdrew its initial HSR filing and refiled it on August 29, 2011 in order
to permit the Antitrust Division to have additional time to review the filing. The 30-calendar day
waiting period recommenced in connection with such refiling so that it now expires, unless
terminated earlier or extended at 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time on September 28, 2011.
On
August 29, 2011, a representative of S1 contacted a
representative of ACI with respect to the value and certainty of
closure of the Enhanced ACI Merger Proposal. There can be no
assurance that such inquiry will lead to discussions, or that any
such discussions, if conducted in the future, will lead to a
transaction. If they were to lead to a transaction, however, the
Exchange Offer could be terminated or amended. See The Exchange
OfferExtension, Termination and Amendment and
The Exchange OfferConditions of the Exchange Offer.
50
On August 29, 2011, ACI filed this prospectus/offer to exchange with the SEC with respect to
the Exchange Offer.
Reasons for the Exchange Offer
While ACI continues to hope that it is possible to reach a consensual transaction with S1,
ACI, through Offeror, is making this Exchange Offer directly to S1 stockholders in light of the S1
Boards rejection of the Original ACI Merger Proposal on August 2, 2011.
Value:
ACI believes that the Exchange Offer is superior to the Proposed Fundtech Merger
notwithstanding the S1 Boards rejection of the Original ACI Merger Proposal because it provides
greater and more certain value than the Proposed Fundtech Merger. Among other things, in the
Exchange Offer, 62.0% of S1 Shares would be exchanged for cash. The Proposed Fundtech Merger
provides no cash to S1 stockholders.
In addition,
ACI believes that the value per S1 Share in the Exchange Offer is substantially
higher than the trading prices for S1 Shares after the announcement of the Proposed Fundtech
Merger. On June 24, 2011, the last trading day prior to the announcement of the Fundtech Merger
Agreement, the closing sales price of S1 Shares as reported by the NASDAQ Market was $7.54 per
share. The closing sales price for S1 Shares declined on June 27, 2011, the day that the Fundtech
Merger Agreement was announced, to $7.26 per share. During the period from June 27, 2011 to July
25, 2011, the last trading day prior to the announcement of the Original ACI Merger Proposal, the
closing sales price for S1 Shares further declined 1.8% to $7.13 per share, and its volume weighted
average closing sales price over this period was $7.25 per share. This compares to an increase of
4.5% for the S&P 500 Index over the same period. ACI believes that the increase in trading
prices was primarily attributable to the Original ACI Merger Proposal.
At
the $9.44
per S1 Share value of the Cash-Stock Consideration as of
August 29, 2011,
assuming full proration, the Exchange Offer represents (1) a
32.4% premium to the closing sales
price of S1 Shares on July 25, 2011, the last trading day prior to the public announcement of the
Original ACI Merger Proposal, (2) a 30.9% premium to the volume weighted average closing price of
S1 Shares over the previous 90 days prior to the announcement of the Original ACI Merger Proposal,
and (3) a 21.8% premium to the 52-week high of S1 Shares for the 52-week period ending July 25,
2011.
S1 stockholders who elect the Cash-Stock Consideration contemplated by the Exchange Offer will
be subject to proration. Since the value of ACI Shares fluctuates, the per S1 Share Stock
Consideration necessarily could have a value that is different than the per S1 Share Cash
Consideration. As a consequence, in the Exchange Offer, S1 stockholders could receive a combination
of Cash-Stock Consideration with a value that is different from the value of such consideration on
the date of the Exchange Offer, the date of the S1 Special
Stockholder Meeting and the date of the consummation of
a transaction with ACI.
The elections of other S1 stockholders would affect whether S1 stockholders received solely
the type of consideration they had elected or whether a portion of the consideration S1
stockholders elected were exchanged for another form of consideration as a result of the pro ration
procedures contemplated by the Exchange Offer.
Solely for purposes of illustration, the following table indicates the value of the Stock
Consideration and the blended value of the Cash-Stock Consideration based on different assumed
prices for ACI Shares.

The equity capital markets have been highly volatile since July 26, 2011 and market prices for
ACI Shares and S1 Shares have fluctuated and can be expected to continue to fluctuate. S1
stockholders are urged to obtain current trading price information prior to deciding whether to
tender shares pursuant to the Exchange Offer, whether to exercise withdrawal rights as provided
herein and, with respect to the election, whether to receive the Cash Consideration or the Stock
Consideration or some combination thereof. The premium represented by the Exchange Offer to the
Proposed Fundtech Merger may be larger or smaller depending on market prices on any given date and
will fluctuate between the date of this prospectus/offer to purchase, the Expiration Time and the
date of the consummation of the Exchange Offer.
Strategic Rationale:
The Exchange Offer provides immediate cash value to S1 stockholders, as well as the
opportunity to participate in the value creation in the Exchange Offer through the receipt of ACI
Shares. ACI believes that the complementary nature of ACI and S1
creates a compelling opportunity to establish a full-service global leader of financial and
payments software with significant scale and financial strength, including as follows:
Highly Complementary Product and Customer Bases: Combined, ACI and S1 would provide a rich
set of capabilities and a broad portfolio of products to customers across the entire electronic
payments spectrum. In particular, ACI believes that the acquisition of S1 would provide breadth and
additional capabilities to what ACI does today, including: (1) expand ACIs retailer business
beyond North America; (2) increase ACIs retail banking payments business down into lower and
mid-tier financial institutions; and (3) add function and global reach to ACIs online business
banking offering, including new capabilities around branch banking and trade. The acquisition of S1
would support ACIs position as a leading provider of the most unified payments solution to serve
retail banking, wholesale banking, processors and retailers and would enable its customers to lower
their operational costs and improve time-to-market.
Enhanced Scale and Global Position: ACIs, S1s and Fundtechs principal competitors are
substantially larger companies with greater financial resources than ACI, S1 and Fundtech have. The
combined ACI and S1 would have greater scale and critical mass than S1 would have after the
Proposed Fundtech Merger. The combined ACI and S1 would have revenue of $683 million and adjusted
EBITDA of $123 million for the 12 months ended June 30, 2011, compared to revenue of $379 million
and adjusted EBITDA of $43 million for that period for the combined S1 and Fundtech in the Proposed
Fundtech Merger. This scale advantage would enable the combined ACI and S1 to more effectively
serve its combined global customer base and compete against the very large companies which operate
in the electronic payments software business.
52
In addition, Fundtech is dependent upon three international financial institutions for a
significant portion of its revenue. According to published reports, in fiscal year 2010, Fundtech
derived approximately 21% of its total
annual revenues from these three international financial institutions. In comparison, ACIs
top 10 customers represented approximately 20% of its total annual revenue in 2010.
Significant Synergy Opportunities: ACI expects the combination of ACI and S1 will generate
a significant amount of operational efficiencies and cost savings that will drive margin expansion
for the acquired S1 business and earnings accretion for the combined company. ACI estimates that
the annual pre-tax cost savings related to the Exchange Offer would be more than double the $12
million estimated in the Proposed Fundtech Merger, primarily attributable to elimination of S1s
public company costs and rationalization of duplicate general and administrative functions,
sales/marketing functions and costs, occupancy costs, product management and R&D functions. In
addition, ACI expects to consolidate the combined companys hosting data centers and
infrastructure. Further, ACI expects the cost savings will improve S1s margins in line with ACIs
margins for adjusted EBITDA. Assuming that the Exchange Offer is closed in the fourth calendar
quarter of this year, ACI anticipates the cost savings would be fully realizable in 2012.
Strong Financial Position: ACI would continue to have a strong financial profile driven by
a solid balance sheet with substantial liquidity and a recurring revenue model that generates
significant free cash flows, allowing for further future investments in the business. In addition,
ACI expects the transaction to be accretive to full year earnings in 2012.
The following metrics provide relevant information with respect to ACIs recent financial
performance, as of July 26, 2011, the date of the Original ACI Merger Proposal:
|
|
|
ACI has produced a stockholder return of approximately 90% over the past three years,
significantly outperforming the relevant peer group;
|
|
|
|
|
ACI has increased its 60-month backlog to $1.6 billion in 2010, up $350 million since 2006;
|
|
|
|
|
ACI has driven monthly recurring revenue to 68% in 2010, up nearly 29% since 2007; and
|
|
|
|
|
ACI has increased adjusted EBITDA margin to 21% in 2010, from 7% in 2007.
|
This prospectus/offer to exchange includes summary selected unaudited pro forma combined
financial information that is intended to provide S1 stockholders with information relating to
ACIs financial results assuming that ACI and S1 had already been combined.
Integration:
ACI believes that there are substantial risks inherent in mergers of equals, which ACI
believes are exacerbated by the fact that S1 is a U.S. company
headquartered in Norcross, Georgia,
while Fundtech is a company with substantial operations in Israel. While there is integration risk
in any substantial business combination transaction, ACIs proposal would not involve the
complexities inherent in combining two businesses whose co-CEOs and other senior executives would
be located on different continents, and ACI would have the ability to implement integration plans
without being required to consider the potential conflicting interests and disynergies implicit in
a merger of equals in which, for example, the combined companys top management is expected to be
drawn from two disparate organizations.
S1s proxy statement discloses that political, economic and military conditions in Israel and
the Middle East could negatively impact the combined S1-Fundtech company. Fundtech is an Israeli
company with substantial operations in Israel. According to S1s proxy statement, (1) any major
hostilities involving Israel, acts of terrorism or the interruption or curtailment of trade between
Israel and its present trading partners could adversely affect the combined companys operations,
(2) several Arab and Muslim countries restrict or prohibit business with Israeli companies and
these restrictions may have an adverse impact on the combined companys operating results,
financial condition or the expansion of the combined companys business, and (3) such boycott,
restrictive laws, policies or practices may preclude the combined company from pursuing certain
sales opportunities in the future.
53
Closing Conditions:
The completion of the Proposed Fundtech Merger is subject to, among other conditions, approval
of the issuance of stock in the transaction by holders of a majority of S1 Shares voting at a
meeting held on the matter, the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the
HSR Act, as well as a number of conditions
unique to a combination of a U.S. and an Israeli company, including receipt of the consent or
approval of Israeli tax authorities, the Investment Center of the Israeli Ministry of Trade &
Industry and the Israeli Securities Authority.
The Exchange Offer is subject to
the conditions set forth in The Exchange OfferConditions to the Exchange
Offer, including the Fundtech Merger Agreement Condition, the Delaware 203 Condition, the Minimum
Tender Condition and the receipt of customary regulatory approvals, including the expiration or
termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act. The Fundtech Merger Agreement Condition and
the Delaware 203 Condition could be satisfied by action of the S1 Board. In addition, the Fundtech
Merger Agreement Condition could be satisfied if S1 stockholders vote against the issuance of
shares to complete the Fundtech Merger.
As of the date of this prospectus/offer to exchange, S1 has not obtained clearance under the
HSR Act. S1 reported in its proxy statement that it refiled its Notification and Report Form under
the HSR Act with the Antitrust Division on August 17, 2011, recommencing the 30-calendar day
waiting period under the HSR Act with respect to S1s acquisition of shares of Fundtech in the
Proposed Fundtech Merger. S1 also reported that it understands that Clal, Fundtechs largest
shareholder, intends to withdraw and refile its Notification and Report Form after August 19, 2011,
the date of S1s proxy statement, which will restart the 30-calendar day waiting period.
ACI filed the required Notification and Report Form under the HSR Act with the Antitrust
Division and the FTC on July 27, 2011. Thereafter, the Antitrust Division informed ACI that, as
between the FTC and the Antitrust Division, the Antitrust Division would review ACIs filing. ACI withdrew its initial filing on August 26, 2011, and refiled it
on August 29, 2011
in order to permit the Antitrust Division to have additional time to review the filing. The
30-calendar day waiting period recommenced in connection with such
refiling so that it now expires, unless terminated earlier or extended, at 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time on
September 28, 2011. The Antitrust Division
may extend its review beyond the 30-calendar day waiting period by requesting additional
information and documentary material. In the event of such a request, the waiting period would be
extended until 11:59 p.m., Eastern time, on the 30th calendar day after ACI has made a proper
response to that request as specified by the HSR Act and the implementing rules.
The combination with S1 would provide ACI with enhanced scale, breadth and additional
capabilities to compete more effectively in the highly competitive payment systems marketplace. If
ACI were to acquire S1, the combined company would continue to face intense competition from
third-party software vendors, in house solutions, processors, IT service organizations and credit
card associations, including from companies which are substantially larger and have substantially
greater market shares than the combined company would have. Moreover, the dynamic worldwide nature
of the industry means that competitive alternatives can and do regularly emerge. Thus, ACI does not
believe the transaction would enable it to obtain market power in, or even a significant share of,
any relevant market.
Nonetheless, the Original ACI Merger Proposal contained provisions designed to provide S1 what
ACI believed to be an appropriate measure of assurance that the HSR Act condition would be
satisfied, including a $21.5 million fee that would be paid to S1 if that condition were not
satisfied and an undertaking to divest assets, subject to certain limitations (which were not
specified in the draft merger agreement delivered to S1), and take other actions if necessary to
obtain the expiration or termination of the HSR Act waiting period. ACI reiterated this commitment in connection with its delivery of the Enhanced ACI Merger Proposal.
Based on the foregoing, ACI believes that it will obtain clearance under the HSR Act, although
there necessarily can be no assurance with respect thereto.
Restructuring of S1 for No Premium and No Cash:
According to S1s proxy statement, S1 has entered into a transaction to acquire Fundtech in
which S1 stockholders will receive no premium and no cash for their shares. Although S1 has stated
in its proxy statement
54
that S1 will acquire Fundtech, we believe that its analysis is incorrect.
We believe that the Proposed Fundtech Merger is in fact a transaction that results in a radical
restructuring of the business, ownership and governance of S1,
and thereby could be deemed to constitute de facto change in control of S1 for a number of
reasons, including (1) changes in S1s Board and management, including a governance mechanism
applicable to key corporate decisions that requires agreement of designees of each of S1 and
Fundtech post-transaction (unless approved by a post-transaction Board of Directors of which
one-half of the designees are appointed by S1 and one-half of the designees are appointed by
Fundtech), (2) changes in the composition and concentration of ownership of the combined companys
shares, and (3) the fact that the transaction constitutes a change in control under compensation
arrangements for S1s top management.
Changes in S1s Board and Management: According to S1s proxy statement, following the
Proposed Fundtech Merger, the governance of S1 would change as follows:
Fundtechs CEO would become Executive Chairman of the combined company. Fundtechs
Chairman would become Deputy Chairman of the combined company. Fundtechs CFO would become
CFO of the combined company. One or more of these individuals apparently would serve in
these capacities from Israel, and not S1s principal U.S. offices.
S1s Board would not constitute a majority of the Board of the combined company;
rather, the combined company Board would be comprised of eight members, four from the
current Board of Fundtech and four from the current Board of S1.
For an apparently indeterminate period, Fundtechs CEO, as Executive Chairman of
the combined company, and the combined companys CEO would have to mutually agree before S1
could take any of the following actions. Disputes as to the following matters could only be
resolved by the vote of a majority of the Board of the combined company, on which the
current Fundtech directors will have a blocking vote:
subject to certain exceptions, the issuance of any equity interests of the
combined company or its subsidiaries or any securities exercisable or exchangeable
for or convertible into equity interests of the combined company or its
subsidiaries;
incurrence of any indebtedness for borrowed money, other than indebtedness (i)
outstanding as of the closing date of the Proposed Fundtech Merger or (ii) incurred
in the ordinary course of business;
engaging in any merger, consolidation or other business combination transactions
or recapitalization or reorganization;
acquisition of any enterprise or business (whether by merger, stock or assets) or
other significant assets outside of the ordinary course of business;
sale or other disposition of any assets of the combined company or any of its
subsidiaries outside of the ordinary course of business;
acquisition or development of any material new product or service offering;
engaging in any line of business substantially different from those lines of
business conducted by the combined company and its subsidiaries immediately
following the closing date of the Proposed Fundtech Merger;
hiring or termination of the executive chairman, chief executive officer, chief
financial officer, chief operating officer, chief legal officer and each individual
(including any consultant or other individual, even if not technically an employee)
performing the functions of any such office, each referred to as a Senior Officer,
or any individual who directly reports (including any consultant or other
individual, even if not technically an employee) to any Senior Officer, referred to,
together with the Senior Officers, each as an Applicable Employee;
55
modification of the salary or other compensation of any Applicable Employee,
materially changing the responsibilities of any Applicable Employee, or making any
material changes to the employment agreement of any Applicable Employee;
approval of (i) any operating or capital expenditure budget of the combined
company or any of its subsidiaries or (ii) any material amendment or supplement to
or other modification thereof;
institution, settlement, withdrawal or compromise of any material lawsuit, claim,
counterclaim or other legal proceeding by or against the combined company or any of
its subsidiaries or with respect to any of their respective material properties or
assets; or
delegate any authority to take any of the foregoing actions to any other officer
or employee.
Changes in the Composition and Concentration of Share Ownership: The Proposed Fundtech Merger
will result in a change in the composition and concentration in ownership of S1 Shares. According
to a Schedule 13D filed in respect of Fundtech, Clal owns approximately 58% of Fundtechs ordinary
shares. Clal is controlled by the following four individuals: Nochi Dankner, Shelly
Danker-Bergman, Isaac Manor and Avraham Livnat, who may be deemed to beneficially own the Fundtech
shares held by Clal.
According to S1s proxy statement, Clal will own approximately 24% of the combined company,
and by virtue of such ownership may exert considerable influence over the combined companys
policies, business and affairs, and in any corporate transaction or other matter, including
mergers, consolidations and the sale of all or substantially all of [S1s] assets. This
concentration in control may have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change of
control that otherwise would yield a premium upon the price of the combined companys common stock.
This concentration of ownership may also have the effect of reducing the amount of stock in the
combined companys public float, which may impact share trading values.
Although S1 stockholders will continue to own 55% of S1 Shares following the Proposed Fundtech
Merger, these shares are held by a wide and diverse group of institutional and other investors and,
based on reported share ownership as of August 29, 2011, no S1 stockholder other than Clal will own
more than 5.0% of the outstanding S1 Shares if the Proposed Fundtech Merger were to be completed.
The S1 Board exempted Clal from the restrictions applicable to interested stockholders under
Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law and has not otherwise restricted Clals ability
to acquire additional shares or take actions in respect of the governance of S1 following the
Proposed Fundtech Merger. Accordingly, Clal may be able to exert considerable influence over S1s
affairs following the Proposed Fundtech Merger as a result of its 24% ownership interest.
Change
in Control for the Benefit of S1 Top Management: The Proposed Fundtech Merger will constitute a
change of control for purposes of the employment agreements, equity incentive plans and golden
parachutes of S1s senior management, resulting in the acceleration of certain benefits as
described in S1s proxy statement under the section titled Interests of the Companys Executive
Officers and Directors in the Merger.
Based upon (1) the expected roles to be played by S1s and Fundtechs management following the
Proposed Fundtech Merger in the combined company, (2) the substantial ownership of the combined
company by Fundtechs largest stockholder following the merger, and (3) the treatment of the merger
as a change of control under the compensation arrangement of S1s management, we believe that the
Proposed Fundtech Merger looks much more like a change of control rather than an acquisition of
Fundtech or a merger.
In any case, we believe that S1s Board, in evaluating any strategic transaction of this type,
has a legal obligation to consider all available alternative transactions beforehand, to
communicate those alternatives to S1s stockholders and to consider our proposal which we believe
provides superior value to S1s stockholders.
We believe S1 stockholders should take all of these factors into account prior to deciding
whether to tender shares pursuant to the Exchange Offer, whether to exercise withdrawal rights as
provided herein and, with respect to the election, whether to receive the Cash Consideration or the
Stock Consideration or some combination thereof.

THE EXCHANGE OFFER
Overview
Offeror is offering to exchange for each outstanding S1 Share that is validly tendered and not
properly withdrawn prior to the Expiration Time, either of the following:
|
|
|
0.2800 of an ACI Share (Stock Consideration); or |
|
|
|
|
$10.00 in cash, without interest (Cash Consideration), |
subject to the proration procedures described in this prospectus/offer to exchange and the related
letter of election and transmittal, upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this
prospectus/offer to exchange and the accompanying letter of election and transmittal. In addition,
you will receive cash in lieu of any fractional ACI Share to which you may be entitled.
The
term Expiration Time means 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on
Wednesday, September 28, 2011, unless
Offeror extends the period of time for which the Exchange Offer is open, in which case the term
Expiration Time means the latest time and date on which the Exchange Offer, as so extended,
expires.
The Exchange Offer is subject to conditions which are described in the section of this
prospectus/offer to exchange titled The Exchange OfferConditions of the Exchange Offer. ACI
expressly reserves the right, subject to the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, to waive
any condition of the Exchange Offer described herein in its discretion, except for the conditions
described under the subheadings Registration Statement Condition, NASDAQ Listing Condition, and
Competition Condition in the section of this prospectus/offer to exchange titled The Exchange
OfferConditions of the Exchange Offer below, each of which cannot be waived. Offeror expressly
reserves the right to make any changes to the terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer (subject
to any obligation to extend the Exchange Offer pursuant to the applicable rules and regulations of
the SEC).
If you are the record owner of your S1 Shares and you tender your S1 Shares in the Exchange
Offer, you will not have to pay any brokerage fees or similar expenses. If you own your S1 Shares
through a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee and your broker, dealer,
commercial bank, trust company or other nominee tenders your S1 Shares on your behalf, your broker
or such other nominee may charge a fee for doing so. You should consult your broker, dealer,
commercial bank, trust company or other nominee to determine whether any charges will apply.
The purpose of the Exchange Offer is for ACI to acquire control of, and ultimately the entire
equity interest in, S1. ACI has publicly expressed a desire to enter into a consensual business
combination with S1 and delivered the Original ACI Merger Proposal to
S1 on July 26, 2011 and the Enhanced ACI Merger Proposal to S1
on August 25, 2011.
S1 announced on August 2, 2011 that the S1 Board would not discuss our the Original ACI Merger
Proposal with us based on the S1 Boards determination that pursuing discussions with ACI at this
time is not in the best financial or strategic interests of S1 and its stockholders.
On August 25, 2011, ACI publicly announced the Enhanced ACI Merger Proposal increasing the
cash consideration payable under the Original ACI Merger Proposal by $0.50 per S1 Share, assuming
full proration. Because the S1 Board has not begun negotiations with
us, we have made this Exchange Offer without discussing it with S1.
ACI, through Offeror, intends, promptly following acceptance for exchange and exchange of S1
Shares in the Exchange Offer, to effect the Second-Step Merger in accordance with Delaware law
pursuant to which Offeror will acquire all S1 Shares of those S1 stockholders who choose not to
tender their S1 Shares pursuant to the Exchange Offer. After the Second-Step Merger, former
remaining S1 stockholders will no longer have any ownership interest in S1 and will be stockholders
of ACI to the extent they receive any Stock Consideration in this Exchange Offer, and ACI, through
Offeror, will own all of the issued and outstanding S1 Shares.

Please see the sections of this prospectus/offer to exchange titled The Exchange
OfferPurpose and Structure of the Exchange Offer; The Exchange OfferSecond-Step Merger; and
The Exchange OfferPlans for S1.
Subject to applicable law, Offeror reserves the right to amend the Exchange Offer (including
by amending the consideration to be offered in the Exchange Offer or Second-Step Merger or the
structure of the Second-Step Merger), including upon entering into a merger agreement with S1
(including a merger agreement that does not contemplate an exchange offer), in which event Offeror
would terminate the Exchange Offer and the S1 Shares would, upon consummation of such acquisition,
be exchanged for the merger consideration pursuant to the merger agreement. Please see the
sections of this prospectus/offer to exchange titled The Exchange OfferPlans for S1 and The
Exchange OfferExtension, Termination and Amendment.
Based
on ACIs and S1s respective capitalizations as of
August 29, 2011 and the estimated
5.9 million ACI Shares estimated to be issued in the Exchange Offer and the Second-Step Merger,
former S1 stockholders would own, in the aggregate, approximately
14.4% of the aggregate ACI Shares
on a fully diluted basis. For a detailed discussion of the assumptions on which this estimate is
based, please see the section of this prospectus/offer to exchange titled The Exchange
OfferOwnership of ACI After the Exchange Offer.
Expiration Time of the Exchange Offer
The
Exchange Offer is scheduled to expire at 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on
Wednesday, September 28, 2011, which is the Expiration Time, unless further extended by Offeror. For more information, you
should read the discussion below in the section of this prospectus/offer to exchange titled The
Exchange OfferExtension, Termination and Amendment.
Extension, Termination and Amendment
Subject to the applicable rules of the SEC and the terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer,
Offeror also expressly reserves the right (but will not be obligated) (1) to extend, for any
reason, the period of time during which the Exchange Offer is open, (2) to delay acceptance for
exchange of, or exchange of, S1 Shares in order to comply in whole or in part with applicable law
(any such delay shall be effected in compliance with Rule 14e-1(c) under the Exchange Act, which
requires Offeror to pay the consideration offered or to return S1 Shares deposited by or on behalf
of S1 stockholders promptly after the termination or withdrawal of the Exchange Offer), (3) to
terminate the Exchange Offer without accepting for exchange, or exchanging, any S1 Shares if any of
the individually subheaded conditions referred to in the section of this prospectus/offer to
exchange titled The Exchange OfferConditions of the
Exchange Offer has not been satisfied
immediately prior to the Expiration Time or if any event specified in the section of this
prospectus/offer to exchange titled The Exchange OfferConditions of the Exchange Offer under
the subheading Other Conditions has occurred; (4) to amend or terminate the Exchange Offer
without accepting for exchange or exchanging any S1 Shares if ACI or any of its affiliates enters
into a definitive agreement or announces an agreement in principle with S1 providing for a merger
or other business combination or transaction with or involving S1 or any of its subsidiaries, or
the purchase or exchange of securities or assets of S1 or any of its subsidiaries, or ACI and S1
reach any other agreement or understanding, in either case, pursuant to which it is agreed or
provided that the Exchange Offer will be terminated; and (5) to amend the Exchange Offer or to
waive any conditions to the Exchange Offer at any time, in each case by giving oral or written
notice of such delay, termination, waiver or amendment to the exchange agent and by making public
announcement thereof.
The Expiration Time may also be subject to multiple extensions and any decision to extend the
Exchange Offer, and if so, for how long, will be made prior to the Expiration Time.
Any such extension, delay, termination, waiver or amendment will be followed as promptly as
practicable by public announcement thereof, which, in the case of an extension, will be made no
later than 9:00 a.m., Eastern time, on the next business day after the previously scheduled
Expiration Time. Subject to applicable law (including Rules 14d-4(d)(i), 14d-6(c) and 14e-1 under
the Exchange Act, which require that material changes be promptly disseminated to S1 stockholders
in a manner reasonably designed to inform them of such changes), and without limiting the manner in
which Offeror may choose to make any public announcement, Offeror will have no obligation to
publish, advertise or otherwise communicate any such public announcement other than by issuing a
press release or other announcement.
58
Rule 14e-1(c) under the Exchange Act requires Offeror to pay the consideration offered or
return the S1 Shares tendered promptly after the termination or withdrawal of the Exchange Offer.
If ACI increases or decreases the percentage of S1 Shares being sought or the consideration
offered in the Exchange Offer and the Exchange Offer is scheduled to expire at any time before the
expiration of 10 business days from, and including, the date that notice of such increase or
decrease is first published, sent or given in the manner specified below, the Exchange Offer will
be extended until at least the expiration of 10 business days from, and including, the date of such
notice. If Offeror makes a material change in the terms of the Exchange Offer (other than a change
in the consideration offered in the Exchange Offer or the percentage of securities sought) or in
the information concerning the Exchange Offer, or waives a material condition of the Exchange
Offer, Offeror will extend the Exchange Offer, if required by applicable law, for a period
sufficient to allow S1 stockholders to consider the amended terms of the Exchange Offer. In a
published release, the SEC has stated its view that an offer must remain open for a minimum period
of time following a material change in the terms of such offer, and that the waiver of a condition
such as the condition described in the section of this prospectus/offer to exchange titled The
Exchange OfferConditions of the Exchange Offer under the subheading Minimum Tender Condition
is a material change in the terms of an offer. The release states that an offer should remain open
for a minimum of five business days from the date that the material change is first published, sent
or given to S1 stockholders, and that if material changes are made with respect to information that
approaches the significance of the price to be paid in the Exchange Offer or the percentage of
shares sought in the Exchange Offer, a minimum of 10 business days may be required to allow
adequate dissemination and investor response.
As used in this prospectus/offer to exchange, a business day means any day, other than a
Saturday, Sunday or a federal holiday, and shall consist of the time period from 12:01 a.m. through
12:00 midnight, Eastern time. If, prior to the Expiration Time, ACI increases the consideration
being paid for S1 Shares accepted for exchange pursuant to the Exchange Offer, such increased
consideration will be received by all S1 stockholders whose S1 Shares are exchanged pursuant to the
Exchange Offer, whether or not such S1 Shares were tendered prior to the announcement of the
increase of such consideration.
Pursuant to Rule 14d-11 under the Exchange Act, Offeror may, subject to certain conditions,
elect to provide a subsequent offering period of at least three business days following the
Expiration Time on the date of the Expiration Time and acceptance for exchange of the S1 Shares
tendered in the Exchange Offer. A subsequent offering period would be an additional period of
time, following the first exchange of S1 Shares in the Exchange Offer, during which stockholders
could tender S1 Shares not tendered in the Exchange Offer.
During a subsequent offering period, tendering S1 stockholders would not have withdrawal
rights and Offeror would promptly exchange and pay for any S1 Shares tendered at the same price
paid in the Exchange Offer. Rule 14d-11 under the Exchange Act provides that Offeror may provide a
subsequent offering period so long as, among other things, (1) the initial period of at least 20
business days of the Exchange Offer has expired, (2) Offeror offers the same form and amount of
consideration for S1 Shares in the subsequent offering period as in the initial offer, (3) Offeror
immediately accepts and promptly pays for all S1 Shares tendered prior to the Expiration Time, (4)
ACI announces the results of the Exchange Offer, including the approximate number and percentage of
S1 Shares deposited in the Exchange Offer, no later than 9:00 a.m., Eastern time, on the next
business day after the Expiration Time and immediately begins the subsequent offering period, and
(5) Offeror immediately accepts and promptly pays for S1 Shares as they are tendered during the
subsequent offering period. If Offeror elects to include a subsequent offering period, it will
notify S1 stockholders by making a public announcement on the next business day after the
Expiration Time consistent with the requirements of Rule 14d-11 under the Exchange Act.
Pursuant to Rule 14d-7(a)(2) under the Exchange Act, no withdrawal rights apply to S1 Shares
tendered during a subsequent offering period and no withdrawal rights apply during a subsequent
offering period with respect to S1 Shares tendered in the Exchange Offer and accepted for exchange.
The same consideration will be received by S1 stockholders tendering S1 Shares in the Exchange
Offer or in a subsequent offering period, if one is included. Please see the section of this
prospectus/offer to exchange titled The Exchange OfferWithdrawal Rights.
This prospectus/offer to exchange, the letter of election and transmittal and all other
relevant materials will be mailed by ACI to record holders of S1 Shares and will be furnished to
brokers, dealers, banks, trust companies and similar persons whose names, or the names of whose
nominees, appear on S1s stockholders lists, or, if
59
applicable, who are listed as participants in a clearing agencys security position listing
for subsequent transmittal to beneficial owners of S1 Shares on or
about August 30, 2011.
Acceptance for Exchange and Exchange of S1 Shares; Delivery of Exchange Offer Consideration
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Exchange Offer (including, if the Exchange
Offer is extended or amended, the terms and conditions of any such extension or amendment), Offeror
will accept for exchange promptly after the Expiration Time all S1 Shares validly tendered (and not
withdrawn in accordance with the procedure set out in the section of this prospectus/offer to
exchange titled The Exchange OfferWithdrawal Rights) prior to the Expiration Time. Offeror
will exchange all S1 Shares validly tendered and not withdrawn promptly following the acceptance of
S1 Shares for exchange pursuant to the Exchange Offer. Offeror expressly reserves the right, in
its discretion, but subject to the applicable rules of the SEC, to delay acceptance for and thereby
delay exchange of S1 Shares in order to comply in whole or in part with applicable laws or if any
of the conditions referred to in the section of this prospectus/offer to exchange titled The
Exchange OfferConditions of the Exchange Offer have not been satisfied or if any event specified
in the section of the prospectus/offer to exchange titled The Exchange OfferConditions of the
Exchange Offer under the subheading Other Conditions has occurred. If Offeror decides to
include a subsequent offering period, Offeror will accept for exchange, and promptly exchange, all
validly tendered S1 Shares as they are received during the subsequent offering period. Please see
the section of this prospectus/offer to exchange titled The Exchange OfferWithdrawal Rights.
In all cases (including during any subsequent offering period), Offeror will exchange all S1
Shares tendered and accepted for exchange pursuant to the Exchange Offer only after timely receipt
by the exchange agent of (1) the certificates evidencing such S1 Shares or timely confirmation (a
Book-Entry Confirmation) of a book-entry transfer of such S1 Shares into the exchange agents
account at The Depository Trust Company pursuant to the procedures set forth in the section of this
prospectus/offer to exchange titled The Exchange OfferProcedure for Tendering, (2) the letter
of election and transmittal (or a manually signed facsimile thereof), properly completed and duly
executed, with any required signature guarantees, or, in the case of a book-entry transfer, an
Agents Message (as defined below), and (3) any other documents required under the letter of
election and transmittal. This prospectus/offer to exchange refers to The Depository Trust Company
as the Book-Entry Transfer Facility. As used in this prospectus/offer to exchange, the term
Agents Message means a message, transmitted by the Book-Entry Transfer Facility to, and received
by, the exchange agent and forming a part of the Book-Entry Confirmation which states that the
Book-Entry Transfer Facility has received an express acknowledgment from the participant in the
Book-Entry Transfer Facility tendering the S1 Shares that are the subject of such Book-Entry
Confirmation, that such participant has received and agrees to be bound by the letter of election
and transmittal and that ACI may enforce such agreement against such participant.
For purposes of the Exchange Offer (including during any subsequent offering period), Offeror
will be deemed to have accepted for exchange, and thereby exchanged, S1 Shares validly tendered and
not properly withdrawn as, if and when Offeror gives oral or written notice to the exchange agent
of Offerors acceptance for exchange of such S1 Shares pursuant to the Exchange Offer. Upon the
terms and subject to the conditions of the Exchange Offer, exchange of S1 Shares accepted for
exchange pursuant to the Exchange Offer will be made by deposit of the Exchange Offer consideration
being exchanged therefor with the exchange agent, which will act as agent for tendering S1
stockholders for the purpose of receiving the Exchange Offer consideration from Offeror and
transmitting such consideration to tendering S1 stockholders whose S1 Shares have been accepted for
exchange.
Under no circumstances will Offeror pay interest on the Exchange Offer consideration for S1
Shares, regardless of any extension of the Exchange Offer or other delay in making such exchange or
distributing the Exchange Offer consideration.
If any tendered S1 Shares are not accepted for exchange for any reason pursuant to the terms
and conditions of the Exchange Offer, or if certificates representing such S1 Shares are submitted
evidencing more S1 Shares than are tendered, certificates evidencing unexchanged or untendered S1
Shares will be returned, without expense to the tendering S1 stockholder (or, in the case of S1
Shares tendered by book-entry transfer into the exchange agents account at a Book-Entry Transfer
Facility pursuant to the procedure set forth in the section of this prospectus/offer to exchange
titled The Exchange OfferProcedure for Tendering, such S1 Shares will be credited to an account
maintained at such Book-Entry Transfer Facility), as promptly as practicable following the
expiration or termination of the Exchange Offer. ACI reserves the right to transfer or assign, in
whole or from time
60
to time in
part, to one or more of its affiliates, the right to exchange all or any portion of the S1
Shares tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer, but any such transfer or assignment will not
relieve Offeror of its obligations under the Exchange Offer or prejudice the rights of tendering
stockholders to exchange S1 Shares validly tendered and accepted for exchange pursuant to the
Exchange Offer.
Cash In Lieu of Fractional ACI Shares
ACI will not issue certificates representing fractional ACI Shares pursuant to the Exchange
Offer. Instead, each tendering S1 stockholder who would otherwise be entitled to a fractional ACI
Share will receive cash (rounded to the nearest whole cent) in an amount (without interest) equal
to the product obtained by multiplying (a) the fractional share interest to which such S1
stockholder would otherwise be entitled (after rounding such amount to the nearest 0.0001 share),
by (b) the closing price of ACI Shares as reported on the NASDAQ Global Select Market on the last
trading day prior to the Expiration Time.
Elections and Proration
Based on the reported 55.5 million S1 Shares outstanding, in the Exchange Offer, ACI would
exchange approximately $344.2 million cash and 5.9 million ACI Shares, of which approximately
34.4 million S1 Shares (62.0%) would be exchanged for the Cash Consideration and the remaining
approximately 21.1 million S1 Shares (38.0%) would be exchanged for the Stock Consideration. S1
stockholders electing either the Cash Consideration or the Stock Consideration will be subject to
proration so that not more than 62.0% of S1 Shares will be exchanged for the Cash Consideration and
38.0% of S1 Shares will be exchanged for the Stock Consideration in the Exchange Offer. S1
stockholders who do not participate in the Exchange Offer and whose shares are acquired in the
Second-Step Merger will receive the Proration Amount of Cash and Stock Consideration. The
elections of other S1 stockholders will affect whether a tendering S1 stockholder electing the Cash
Consideration or the Stock Consideration receives solely the type of consideration elected or if a
portion of such S1 stockholders tendered S1 Shares is exchanged for another form of consideration.
S1 stockholders who otherwise would be entitled to receive a fractional ACI Share will instead
receive cash in lieu of any fractional ACI Share such holder may have otherwise been entitled to
receive.
Over-Subscription of Stock Election Shares
If more than 38.0% of the S1 Shares tendered in the Exchange Offer (the Stock Election
Number) elect to receive the Stock Consideration (each, a Stock Election Share), then:
|
|
|
each S1 Share that is not a Stock Election Share (each, a Non-Stock Share) will be
exchanged for $10.00 in cash, without interest; |
|
|
|
|
a number of Stock Election Shares of each stockholder making a stock election equal
to the product of (x) the Cash Proration Factor and (y) the total number of Stock
Election Shares held by such stockholder, will be exchanged for $10.00 in cash, without
interest; and |
|
|
|
|
each Stock Election Share that has not been exchanged for $10.00 in cash, without
interest in accordance with the preceding bullet will be exchanged for 0.2800 of an ACI
Share. |
Subscription of Stock Election Shares Equals Stock Election Number
If the aggregate number of Stock Election Shares is equal to the Stock Election Number, then
each Stock Election Share will be exchanged for 0.2800 of an ACI Share, and each Non-Stock Share
will be exchanged for $10.00 in cash, without interest.
Under-Subscription of Stock Election Shares
If
the aggregate number of Stock Election Shares is less than 38.0% of
the S1 Shares tendered in the Exchange Offer, then:
|
|
|
each Stock Election Share will be exchanged for 0.2800 of an ACI Share;
|
61
|
|
|
a number of Non-Stock Shares of each stockholder equal to the product of (x) the
Stock Proration Factor and (y) the total number of Non-Stock Shares of such
stockholder, will be exchanged for 0.2800 of an ACI Share; and |
|
|
|
|
each Non-Stock Share that has not been exchanged for 0.2800 of an ACI Share pursuant
to the preceding bullet will be exchanged for $10.00 in cash, without interest. |
For purposes of these calculations:
|
|
|
Cash Proration Factor means the quotient of (i) the excess of the total number of
Stock Election Shares over the Stock Election Number divided by (ii) the total number
of Stock Election Shares. |
|
|
|
|
Stock Proration Factor means the quotient of (i) the excess of the Stock Election
Number over the total number of Stock Election Shares divided by (ii) the total number
of Non-Stock Shares. |
Consequences of Tendering with No Election
S1 stockholders who do not make an election will be deemed to have elected the Cash
Consideration.
Procedure for Tendering
In order for a holder of S1 Shares to tender S1 Shares pursuant to the Exchange Offer, the
exchange agent must receive, prior to the Expiration Time, the letter of election and transmittal
(or a manually signed facsimile thereof), properly completed and duly executed, together with any
required signature guarantees or, in the case of a book-entry transfer, an Agents Message, and any
other documents required by such letter of election and transmittal, at one of its addresses set
forth on the back cover of this prospectus/offer to exchange and either (1) the certificates
evidencing tendered S1 Shares must be received by the exchange agent at such address or such S1
Shares must be tendered pursuant to the procedure for book-entry transfer described below and a
Book-Entry Confirmation must be received by the exchange agent (including an Agents Message), in
each case prior to the Expiration Time or the expiration of the subsequent offering period, if one
is provided, or (2) the tendering S1 stockholder must comply with the guaranteed delivery
procedures described below.
The method of delivery of share certificates and all other required documents, including
delivery through the Book-Entry Transfer Facility, is at the option and risk of the tendering S1
stockholder, and the delivery will be deemed made only when actually received by the exchange
agent. If delivery is by mail, registered mail with return receipt requested, properly insured, is
recommended. In all cases, sufficient time should be allowed to ensure timely delivery.
Book-Entry Transfer. The exchange agent will establish accounts with respect to the S1 Shares
at the Book-Entry Transfer Facility for purposes of the Exchange Offer within two business days
after the date of this prospectus/offer to exchange. Any financial institution that is a
participant in the system of the Book-Entry Transfer Facility may make a book-entry delivery of S1
Shares by causing the Book-Entry Transfer Facility to transfer such S1 Shares into the exchange
agents account at the Book-Entry Transfer Facility in accordance with the Book-Entry Transfer
Facilitys procedures for such transfer. However, although delivery of S1 Shares may be effected
through book-entry transfer at the Book-Entry Transfer Facility, an Agents Message and any other
required documents must, in any case, be received by the exchange agent at one of its addresses set
forth on the back cover of this prospectus/offer to exchange prior to the Expiration Time or the
expiration of the subsequent offering period, if one is provided, or the tendering S1 stockholder
must comply with the guaranteed delivery procedures described below. Delivery of documents to the
Book-Entry Transfer Facility does not constitute delivery to the exchange agent.
Signature Guarantees. No signature guarantee is required on a letter of election and
transmittal (1) if a letter of election and transmittal is signed by a registered holder of S1
Shares who has not completed the box titled Special Issuance Instructions on the letter of election and transmittal or (2) if S1
Shares are tendered for the account of a financial institution that is a member of the Securities
Transfer Agents Medallion Signature Program, or by any other Eligible Guarantor Institution, as
such term is defined in Rule 17Ad-15 under the Exchange Act (each of the foregoing being referred
to as an Eligible
Institution). In all other cases, all signatures on letters of transmittal must be
guaranteed by an Eligible Institution.
62
If a certificate evidencing S1 Shares is registered in the
name of a person other than the signer of a letter of election and
transmittal, then such certificate
must be endorsed or accompanied by appropriate stock powers, in either case signed exactly as the
name(s) of the registered holder(s) appear on the share certificate, with the signature(s) on such
certificate or stock powers guaranteed by an Eligible Institution. See Instructions 1 and 5 of the
letter of election and transmittal.
Guaranteed Delivery. If an S1 stockholder desires to tender S1 Shares pursuant to the
Exchange Offer and such S1 stockholders certificate(s) evidencing such S1 Shares are not
immediately available, such S1 stockholder cannot deliver such certificates and all other required
documents to the exchange agent prior to the Expiration Time, or such S1 stockholder cannot
complete the procedure for delivery by book-entry transfer on a timely basis, such S1 Shares may
nevertheless be tendered, provided that all the following conditions are satisfied:
(1) such tender is made by or through an Eligible Institution;
(2) a properly completed and duly executed Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, substantially in the
form made available by Offeror, is received prior to the Expiration Time by the exchange agent as
provided below; and
(3) the share certificates (or a Book-Entry Confirmation) evidencing all tendered S1 Shares,
in proper form for transfer, in each case together with the letter of election and transmittal (or
a manually signed facsimile thereof), properly completed and duly executed, with any required
signature guarantees or, in the case of a book-entry transfer, an Agents Message, and any other
documents required by the letter of election and transmittal are received by the exchange agent
within three NASDAQ trading days after the date of execution of such Notice of Guaranteed Delivery.
The Notice of Guaranteed Delivery may be delivered by hand or mail or by facsimile
transmission to the exchange agent and must include a guarantee by an Eligible Institution in the
form set forth in such Notice of Guaranteed Delivery. The procedures for guaranteed delivery above
may not be used during any subsequent offering period.
In all cases (including during any subsequent offering period), exchanges of S1 Shares
tendered and accepted for exchange pursuant to the Exchange Offer will be made only after timely
receipt by the exchange agent of the certificates evidencing such S1 Shares, or a Book-Entry
Confirmation of the delivery of such S1 Shares (except during any subsequent offering period), and
the letter of election and transmittal (or a manually signed facsimile thereof), properly completed
and duly executed, with any required signature guarantees or, in the case of a book-entry transfer,
an Agents Message, and any other documents required by the letter of election and transmittal.
Determination of Validity. Offerors interpretation of the terms and conditions of the
Exchange Offer (including the letter of election and transmittal and the instructions thereto) will
be final and binding to the fullest extent permitted by law. All questions as to the form of
documents and the validity, form, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance for
exchange of any tender of S1 Shares will be determined by Offeror, in its discretion, which
determination shall be final and binding to the fullest extent permitted by law. Offeror reserves
the absolute right to reject any and all tenders determined by it not to be in proper form or the
acceptance of or exchange for which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be unlawful. Offeror also
reserves the absolute right to waive any condition of the Exchange Offer to the extent permitted by
applicable law or any defect or irregularity in the tender of any S1 Shares of any particular S1
stockholder, whether or not similar defects or irregularities are waived in the case of other S1
stockholders. No tender of S1 Shares will be deemed to have been validly made until all defects
and irregularities have been cured or waived. None of ACI, Offeror or any of their affiliates or
assigns, the dealer manager, the exchange agent, the information agent or any other person will be
under any duty to give any notification of any defect or irregularity in tenders or to waive any
such defect or irregularity or incur any liability for failure to give any such notification or
waiver.
A tender of S1 Shares pursuant to any of the procedures described above will constitute the
tendering S1 stockholders acceptance of the terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer, as well as
the tendering S1 stockholders representation and warranty to Offeror that (1) such S1 stockholder
owns the tendered S1 Shares (and any and all other S1 Shares or other securities issued or issuable
in respect of such
S1 Shares), (2) such S1 stockholder has the full power and authority to tender, sell, assign
and transfer the
63
tendered S1 Shares (and any and all other S1 Shares or other securities issued or
issuable in respect of such S1 Shares) and (3) when the same are accepted for exchange, Offeror
will acquire good, marketable and unencumbered title thereto, free and clear of all liens,
restrictions, charges and encumbrances and not subject to any adverse claims.
The acceptance for exchange by Offeror of S1 Shares pursuant to any of the procedures
described above will constitute a binding agreement between the tendering S1 stockholder and
Offeror upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Exchange Offer, including with respect
to the release and discharge from certain claims as described in the letter of election and
transmittal.
Appointment as Proxy; Other Agreements. By executing the letter of election and transmittal,
or through delivery of an Agents Message, as set forth above, a tendering S1 stockholder
irrevocably appoints designees of Offeror as such S1 stockholders agents, attorneys-in-fact and
proxies, each with full power of substitution, in the manner set forth in such letter of election
and transmittal, to the full extent of such S1 stockholders rights with respect to the S1 Shares
tendered by such S1 stockholder and accepted for exchange by Offeror (and with respect to any and
all other S1 Shares or other securities issued or issuable in respect of such S1 Shares on or after
the date of this prospectus/offer to exchange). All such powers of attorney and proxies shall be
considered irrevocable and coupled with an interest in the tendered S1 Shares (and such other S1
Shares and securities). Such appointment will be effective when, and only to the extent that,
Offeror accepts such S1 Shares for exchange. Upon appointment, all prior powers of attorney and
proxies given by such S1 stockholder with respect to such S1 Shares (and such other S1 Shares and
securities) will be revoked, without further action, and no subsequent powers of attorney or
proxies may be given nor any subsequent written consent executed by such S1 stockholder (and, if
given or executed, will not be deemed to be effective) with respect thereto. The designees of
Offeror will, with respect to the S1 Shares (and such other S1 Shares and securities) for which the
appointment is effective, be empowered to exercise all voting, consent and other rights of such S1
stockholder as they in their discretion may deem proper at any annual or special meeting of S1
stockholders or any adjournment or postponement thereof, by written consent in lieu of any such
meeting or otherwise. Offeror reserves the right to require that, in order for S1 Shares to be
deemed validly tendered, immediately upon Offerors acceptance of S1 Shares for exchange, ACI must
be able to exercise full voting, consent and other rights with respect to such S1 Shares (and such
other S1 Shares and securities).
The foregoing proxies are effective only upon acceptance for exchange of S1 Shares tendered
pursuant to the Exchange Offer. The Exchange Offer does not constitute a solicitation of proxies
(absent an exchange of S1 Shares) for any meeting of S1 stockholders, which will be made only
pursuant to separate proxy materials complying with the requirements of the rules and regulations
of the SEC. ACI reserves the right to solicit proxies or consents against the Proposed Fundtech
Merger or to cause the S1 Board to be reconstituted with independents proposed by ACI independently
of or in connection with the Exchange Offer.
Backup Withholding. Under the backup withholding provisions of federal income tax law, the
exchange agent may be required to withhold (currently at a rate of 28%) on any cash payments
pursuant to the Exchange Offer or the Second-Step Merger. In order to prevent backup withholding
with respect to payments to certain S1 stockholders for S1 Shares sold pursuant to the Exchange
Offer or exchanged pursuant to the Second-Step Merger, each such S1 stockholder must timely provide
the exchange agent with such S1 stockholders correct taxpayer identification number (the TIN)
and certify that such stockholder is not subject to backup withholding by completing the substitute
Form W-9 in the letter of election and transmittal, or otherwise establish an exemption. Certain
S1 stockholders (including, among others, all corporations and certain non-U.S. individuals and
entities) are not subject to backup withholding. If an S1 stockholder does not provide timely its
correct TIN or fails to provide the certifications described above, the Internal Revenue Service
may impose a penalty on the stockholder and payment of cash to the S1 stockholder pursuant to the
Exchange Offer or the Second-Step Merger may be subject to backup withholding. All S1 stockholders
surrendering S1 Shares pursuant to the Exchange Offer or the Second-Step Merger that are U.S.
persons for federal income tax purposes should complete and sign the substitute Form W-9 included
in the letter of election and transmittal to provide the information necessary to avoid backup
withholding. Non-U.S. S1 stockholders should complete and sign an applicable Form W-8 (a copy of
which may be obtained from the exchange agent) in order to avoid backup withholding.
64
Withdrawal Rights
Tenders of S1 Shares made pursuant to the Exchange Offer are irrevocable except that such S1
Shares may be withdrawn at any time prior to the Expiration Time and, if Offeror has not accepted
your S1 Shares for exchange by the Expiration Time, at any time following 60 days from commencement
of the Exchange Offer. If Offeror elects to extend the Exchange Offer, is delayed in its
acceptance for exchange of S1 Shares or is unable to accept S1 Shares for exchange pursuant to the
Exchange Offer for any reason, then, without prejudice to ACIs or Offerors rights under the
Exchange Offer, the exchange agent may, on behalf of Offeror, retain tendered S1 Shares, and such
S1 Shares may not be withdrawn except to the extent that tendering S1 stockholders are entitled to
withdrawal rights as described in this section. Any such delay will be by an extension of the
Exchange Offer to the extent required by law. If Offeror decides to include a subsequent offering
period, S1 Shares tendered during the subsequent offering period may not be withdrawn. Please see
the section of this prospectus/offer to exchange titled The Exchange OfferExtension, Termination
and Amendment.
For a withdrawal to be effective, a written or facsimile transmission notice of withdrawal
must be received by the exchange agent at one of its addresses set forth on the back cover page of
this prospectus/offer to exchange. Any such notice of withdrawal must specify the name of the
person who tendered the S1 Shares to be withdrawn, the number of S1 Shares to be withdrawn and the
name of the registered holder of such S1 Shares, if different from that of the person who tendered
such S1 Shares. If certificates evidencing S1 Shares to be withdrawn have been delivered or
otherwise identified to the exchange agent, then, prior to the physical release of such
certificates, the serial numbers shown on such certificates must be submitted to the exchange agent
and, unless such S1 Shares have been tendered by or for the account of an Eligible Institution, the
signature(s) on the notice of withdrawal must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution. If S1
Shares have been tendered pursuant to the procedure for book-entry transfer as set forth in the
section of this prospectus/offer to exchange titled The Exchange OfferProcedure for Tendering,
any notice of withdrawal must specify the name and number of the account at the Book-Entry Transfer
Facility to be credited with the withdrawn S1 Shares.
Withdrawals of S1 Shares may not be rescinded. Any S1 Shares properly withdrawn will
thereafter be deemed not to have been validly tendered for purposes of the Exchange Offer.
However, withdrawn S1 Shares may be re-tendered at any time prior to the Expiration Time (or during
the subsequent offering period, if one is provided) by following one of the procedures described in
the section of this prospectus/offer to exchange titled The Exchange OfferProcedure for
Tendering (except S1 Shares may not be re-tendered using the procedures for guaranteed delivery
during any subsequent offering period).
All questions as to the form and validity (including time of receipt) of any notice of
withdrawal will be determined by Offeror, in its discretion, whose determination will be final and
binding to the fullest extent permitted by law. None of ACI, Offeror or any of their respective
affiliates or assigns, the dealer manager, the exchange agent, the information agent or any other
person will be under any duty to give any notification of any defect or irregularity in any notice
of withdrawal or incur any liability for failure to give any such notification.
Announcement of Results of the Exchange Offer
ACI will announce the final results of the Exchange Offer, including whether all of the
conditions to the Exchange Offer have been fulfilled or waived and whether Offeror will accept the
tendered S1 Shares for exchange after the Expiration Time. The announcement will be made by a
press release.
Ownership of ACI After the Exchange Offer
Based on
ACIs and S1s respective capitalizations as of August 29, 2011 and assuming ACI issues
5.9 million ACI Shares pursuant to the Exchange Offer and the Second-Step Merger, former S1
stockholders would own, in the aggregate, approximately 14.4% of the aggregate ACI Shares on a
fully diluted basis.
Certain Material Federal Income Tax Consequences
The following is a general summary of the material United States Federal income tax
consequences to S1 stockholders that exchange S1 Shares for ACI Shares and/or cash pursuant to the
Exchange Offer and the Second-
65
Step Merger. This discussion is based on provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, Treasury
regulations promulgated thereunder, and administrative and judicial interpretations thereof, all as
in effect as of the date hereof and all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive
effect. This discussion does not address all aspects of United States Federal income taxation that
may be applicable to S1 stockholders in light of their particular circumstances or to S1
stockholders subject to special treatment under United States Federal income tax law including,
without limitation:
|
|
|
partnerships; |
|
|
|
|
foreign persons; |
|
|
|
|
certain financial institutions; |
|
|
|
|
insurance companies; |
|
|
|
|
tax-exempt entities; |
|
|
|
|
dealers in securities; |
|
|
|
|
traders in securities that elect to apply a mark-to-market method of accounting; |
|
|
|
|
certain U.S. expatriates; |
|
|
|
|
persons that hold S1 Shares as part of a straddle, hedge, conversion transaction or
other integrated investment; |
|
|
|
|
S1 stockholders whose functional currency is not the United States dollar; and |
|
|
|
|
S1 stockholders who acquired S1 Shares through the exercise of employee stock
options or otherwise as compensation. |
This discussion is limited to S1 stockholders that hold their S1 Shares as capital assets and
does not consider the tax treatment of S1 stockholders that hold S1 Shares through a partnership or
other pass-through entity. Furthermore, this summary does not discuss any aspect of state, local
or foreign taxation.
Treatment as a reorganization. Although it is not currently clear, it is possible that the
Exchange Offer and the Second-Step Merger may be treated as component parts of an integrated
transaction that qualifies as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal
Revenue Code. In order to be so treated, certain facts relating to the Exchange Offer and the
Second-Step Merger must exist, including, among others, that:
(1) the value of the ACI Shares issued to S1 stockholders pursuant to the Exchange Offer and
the Second-Step Merger as a percentage of the total consideration furnished to S1 stockholders in
connection with the Exchange Offer and the Second-Step Merger (including cash paid to dissenters,
if any) satisfies the continuity of stockholder interest requirement for corporate
reorganizations, which will generally be satisfied if the percentage is 40 or more, taking into
account any acquisitions by ACI, Offeror or any party related to ACI or Offeror, in connection with
the Exchange Offer and the Second-Step Merger, of ACI Shares issued to S1 stockholders. Depending
upon the facts, the applicable percentage may be determined using the value of ACI Shares on the
date of announcement of the Exchange Offer or at certain other times, but not later than as of the
closing date of the transaction. If market prices for ACI Shares upon consummation of the Exchange
Offer are less than $38.75, the Stock Consideration would represent less than 40% of the total
value of the Exchange Offer consideration. You are urged to obtain current trading price
information prior to making any decision with respect to the Exchange Offer;
(2) ACI will continue S1s historic business or will use a significant portion of S1s
historic business assets in a business;
(3) ACI will acquire substantially all of S1s assets pursuant to the Exchange Offer and the
Second-Step Merger; and
66
(4) the Exchange Offer and the Second-Step Merger will be consummated in accordance with the
terms of this prospectus/offer to exchange.
We will not seek a ruling from the IRS with regard to the transactions. Accordingly, there
can be no certainty that the IRS will not challenge the conclusions described below or that a court
would not sustain such a challenge.
If the Exchange Offer and the Second-Step Merger are properly treated as part of an integrated
transaction that qualifies as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal
Revenue Code, the following are the material federal income tax consequences of the exchange of S1
Shares for cash and/or ACI Shares pursuant to the Exchange Offer and/or the Second-Step Merger:
|
|
|
An S1 stockholder that receives solely cash in exchange for its S1 Shares will
generally recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference, if any, between the
amount of cash received and the adjusted tax basis of the S1 Shares. Such gain or loss
will be long-term capital gain or loss if the S1 stockholders holding period for the
S1 Shares exchanged is greater than one year on the date of the exchange. |
|
|
|
|
An S1 stockholder that receives solely ACI Shares (or stock and cash in lieu of
fractional ACI Shares) in exchange for its S1 Shares will not recognize gain or loss on
the exchange except with respect to the cash received in lieu of fractional ACI Shares,
which will be treated as described below. |
|
|
|
|
An S1 stockholder that receives ACI Shares and cash in exchange for its S1 Shares
will recognize gain equal to the lesser of: (i) the excess, if any, of the sum of the
fair market value of the ACI Shares and the amount of cash received over the adjusted
tax basis of the S1 Shares, or (ii) the amount of cash received (excluding cash
received in lieu of fractional ACI Shares, which will be treated as described below). |
|
|
|
|
Such recognized gain will constitute capital gain, unless the receipt of the cash
has the effect of a distribution of a dividend as discussed below; in which case such
recognized gain will be treated as ordinary dividend income to the extent of the S1
stockholders ratable share of ACIs accumulated earnings and profits. |
|
|
|
|
Any capital gain recognized will constitute long-term capital gain if the S1
stockholders holding period for the S1 Shares exchanged is greater than one year as of
the date of the exchange. |
|
|
|
|
An S1 stockholder that receives ACI Shares and cash will recognize no loss on the
exchange (except, possibly, in connection with cash received in lieu of fractional ACI
Shares, as discussed below). |
|
|
|
|
The aggregate tax basis of the ACI Shares received by an S1 stockholder, including
for this purpose any fractional ACI Share for which cash is received, in exchange for
S1 Shares will be the same as the aggregate tax basis of the S1 Shares surrendered in
exchange therefor, decreased by the amount of any cash received (excluding any cash
received in lieu of fractional ACI Shares) and increased by the amount of any gain
recognized. |
|
|
|
|
The holding period of ACI Shares received in exchange for S1 Shares will include the
holding period of the S1 Shares surrendered in exchange therefor. |
Possible treatment of cash as a dividend. In general, the determination of whether the gain
recognized by an S1 stockholder will be treated as capital gain or ordinary dividend income
distribution will depend upon whether and to what extent the exchange reduces the S1 stockholders
deemed percentage stock ownership interest in ACI. For purposes of this determination, an S1
stockholder will be treated as if such S1 stockholder first exchanged all of
such S1 stockholders S1 Shares solely for ACI Shares and then Offeror immediately redeemed a
portion of such ACI Shares in exchange for the cash that the S1 stockholder actually received. The
gain recognized in the exchange followed by a deemed redemption will be treated as capital gain if,
with respect to the S1 stockholder, the deemed redemption is (i) substantially disproportionate
or (ii) not essentially equivalent to a dividend. In general, the deemed redemption will be
substantially disproportionate with respect to an S1 stockholder if the percentage
67
described in (ii) below is less than 80% of the percentage described in (i) below. Whether the deemed
redemption is not essentially equivalent to a dividend with respect to an S1 stockholder will
depend on the S1 stockholders particular circumstances. In order for the deemed redemption to be
not essentially equivalent to a dividend, the deemed redemption must result in a meaningful
reduction in such S1 stockholders deemed percentage stock ownership of ACI Shares. In general,
that determination requires a comparison of (i) the percentage of the outstanding voting stock of
ACI that such S1 stockholder is deemed actually and constructively to have owned immediately before
the deemed redemption by Offeror and (ii) the percentage of the outstanding voting stock of ACI
actually and constructively owned by such stockholder immediately after the deemed redemption by
Offeror. In applying the foregoing tests, a stockholder may be deemed to own stock that is owned
by other persons in addition to stock actually owned. Because the constructive ownership rules are
complex, each stockholder should consult its own tax advisor as to the applicability of these
rules. The Internal Revenue Service has ruled that a minority stockholder in a publicly traded
corporation whose relative stock interest is minimal and that exercises no control with respect to
corporate affairs is considered to have a meaningful reduction if such stockholder has any
reduction in such stockholders percentage stock ownership.
Cash received in lieu of fractional shares. Cash received in lieu of a fractional ACI Share
will be treated as received in redemption of such fractional share interest, and an S1 stockholder
likely will recognize capital gain or loss on the deemed redemption measured by the difference
between the amount of cash received and the portion of the basis of the ACI Shares allocable to
such fractional interest, although it is possible that the deemed redemption payment could be
treated as a dividend, as described above. Such capital gain or loss will be long-term capital
gain or loss if the S1 stockholders holding period in the S1 Shares exchanged was greater than one
year as of the date of the exchange.
Failure of the Exchange Offer to be treated as part of an integrated transaction.
Treatment of stockholders who tender their shares pursuant to the Exchange Offer. If,
contrary to expectations, the Exchange Offer and the Second-Step Merger are not treated as a single
integrated transaction or if the Exchange Offer is completed but the Second-Step Merger does not
occur, the Exchange Offer would fail to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section
368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly:
|
|
|
An S1 stockholder that receives ACI Shares and/or cash in exchange for its S1 Shares
pursuant to the Exchange Offer will recognize gain or loss equal difference between the
sum of the fair market value of the ACI Shares and the amount of cash received and such
stockholders adjusted tax basis in the S1 Shares exchanged therefor. |
|
|
|
|
Such recognized gain will constitute capital gain or loss, and will constitute
long-term capital gain or loss if the S1 stockholders holding period for the S1 Shares
exchanged is greater than one year as of the date of the exchange. |
|
|
|
|
The basis of any ACI Shares received will be equal to their fair market value on the
date of the exchange, and their holding period will begin on the day following the date
of the exchange. |
Treatment of stockholders who exchange their shares pursuant to the Second-Step Merger. If
the Exchange Offer and the Second-Step Merger are both consummated but are not treated as part of
an integrated transaction, the treatment described above in
Treatment as a reorganization would likely apply to S1 stockholders who exchange their shares pursuant to the Second-Step Merger.
Treatment of the Exchange Offer and Second-Step Merger as part of an integrated transaction
that does not quality as a reorganization.
If the Exchange Offer and the Second-Step Merger are treated as a single integrated
transaction that does not qualify as a reorganization, the treatment described above in Failure of
the Exchange Offer to be treated as an integrated transaction
would likely apply to S1 stockholders who
exchange their shares pursuant to the Exchange Offer and the Second-Step Merger.
THE FOREGOING DISCUSSION IS INTENDED ONLY AS A SUMMARY AND DOES NOT PURPORT TO BE A COMPLETE
ANALYSIS OR LISTING OF ALL POTENTIAL FEDERAL INCOME
68
TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE EXCHANGE OFFER AND THE
SECOND-STEP MERGER. S1 STOCKHOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS CONCERNING THE UNITED
STATES FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND FOREIGN TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE EXCHANGE OFFER AND THE SECOND-STEP
MERGER TO THEM.
Purpose and Structure of the Exchange Offer
The Exchange Offer is intended to allow ACI, through Offeror, to acquire all of the issued and
outstanding S1 Shares. We intend to, promptly after completion of the Exchange Offer, consummate
the Second-Step Merger of S1 with a wholly owned subsidiary of ACI pursuant to the DGCL. The
purpose of the Second-Step Merger is for ACI, through Offeror, to acquire all outstanding S1 Shares
that are not acquired in the Exchange Offer. In this Second-Step Merger, each remaining S1 Share
(other than shares held in treasury by S1 and other than shares held by S1 stockholders who
properly exercise applicable dissenters rights under Delaware law) will be cancelled and exchanged
for the Proration Amount of Cash and Stock Consideration. After this Second-Step Merger, ACI will
own all of the issued and outstanding S1 Shares. Please see the sections of this prospectus/offer
to exchange titled The Exchange OfferPurpose and Structure of the Exchange Offer; The Exchange
OfferSecond-Step Merger; and The Exchange OfferPlans for S1.
Subject to applicable law, Offeror reserves the right to amend the Exchange Offer (including
by amending the number of S1 Shares to be exchanged or the Exchange Offer consideration to be
offered in the Second-Step Merger or the structure of the Second-Step Merger), including upon
entering into merger agreement with S1 not involving an exchange offer, in which event we would
terminate the Exchange Offer and the S1 Shares would, upon consummation of such acquisition, be
exchanged for the consideration in the related merger agreement.
Second-Step Merger
Under the DGCL, if ACI, through Offeror, acquires, pursuant to the Exchange Offer or
otherwise, at least 90% of the S1 Shares, Offeror will be able to effect the Second-Step Merger as
a short form merger without approval of the S1 Board or a vote of the remaining S1 stockholders.
In such event, ACI intends to take all necessary and appropriate action to cause the Second-Step
Merger to become effective as promptly as reasonably practicable after such acquisition, without a
meeting of S1 stockholders.
If Offeror does not acquire at least 90% of the outstanding S1 Shares pursuant to the Exchange
Offer or otherwise and a vote of S1 stockholders is required under the DGCL, a significantly longer
period of time would be required to effect the Second-Step Merger and S1 stockholders would be
provided proxy solicitation materials at the appropriate time. In such event, the Second-Step
Merger would require the approval of the S1 Board and the holders of a majority of the outstanding
S1 Shares. However, ACI would, subject to approval of the S1 Board, have sufficient voting power
to approve the Second-Step Merger without the affirmative vote of any other S1 stockholder.
If Offeror
does not acquire at least 85% of the outstanding S1 Shares pursuant to the Exchange
Offer or otherwise and the Delaware 203 Condition is not satisfied, the Second-Step Merger would
require the approval of two-thirds of the S1 Shares not held by ACI and its affiliates.
The exact timing and details of the Second-Step Merger or any other merger or other business
combination involving S1 will necessarily depend upon a variety of factors, including the number of
S1 Shares Offeror acquires pursuant to the Exchange Offer. Although ACI currently intends to
propose the Second-Step Merger generally on the terms described herein, it is possible that, as a
result of substantial delays in its ability to effect such a transaction, actions ACI may take in
response to the Exchange Offer, information ACI obtains hereafter, changes in general economic or
market conditions or in the business of S1 or other currently unforeseen factors, such a
transaction may not be so proposed, may be delayed or abandoned or may be proposed on different
terms. ACI reserves the right not to propose the Second-Step Merger or any other merger or other
business combination with S1 or to propose such a transaction on terms other than those described
above.
Appraisal/Dissenters Rights
S1 stockholders do not have appraisal rights in connection with the Exchange Offer. However,
upon consummation of the Second-Step Merger, S1 stockholders who have not tendered their S1 Shares
in the Exchange Offer and who, if a stockholder vote is required, vote against approval of the
Second-Step Merger will have rights under Delaware law to dissent from the Second-Step Merger and
demand appraisal of their S1 Shares. S1 stockholders at the time of a short form merger under
Delaware law would also be entitled to exercise dissenters rights pursuant to such a short form
merger. Stockholders who perfect dissenters rights by complying with the
69
procedures set forth in Section 262 of the DGCL will be entitled to receive a cash payment equal to the fair value of
their S1 Shares, as determined by a Delaware court. Because appraisal rights are not available in
connection with the Exchange Offer, no demand for appraisal under Section 262 of the DGCL may be
made at this time. Any such judicial determination of the fair value of the S1 Shares could be
based upon considerations other than or in addition to the consideration paid in the Exchange Offer
and the market value of the S1 Shares. S1 stockholders should recognize that the value so
determined could be higher or lower than, or the same as, the consideration per share paid pursuant
to the Exchange Offer or the consideration paid in such a merger. Moreover, we may argue in an
appraisal proceeding that, for purposes of such a proceeding, the fair value of the S1 Shares is
less than the consideration paid in the Exchange Offer.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE STEPS REQUIRED BY SECTION 262 OF THE DGCL FOR PERFECTING APPRAISAL
RIGHTS MAY RESULT IN THE LOSS OF SUCH RIGHTS. BECAUSE OF THE COMPLEXITY OF DELAWARE LAW RELATING
TO APPRAISAL RIGHTS, WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO SEEK THE ADVICE OF YOUR OWN LEGAL COUNSEL. THE FOREGOING
DISCUSSION IS NOT A COMPLETE STATEMENT OF THE DGCL AND IS QUALIFIED IN ITS ENTIRETY BY REFERENCE TO
THE DGCL. IN PARTICULAR, THE DESCRIPTION OF SECTION 262 ABOVE IS QUALIFIED IN ITS ENTIRETY BY
REFERENCE TO SUCH SECTION.
Plans for S1
On July 26, 2011, ACI publicly announced the Original ACI Merger Proposal to combine the
businesses of ACI and S1 through a merger transaction in which ACI would acquire all of the issued
and outstanding S1 Shares in a cash and stock transaction valued at
$9.50 per S1 Share, assuming full proration. On August
2, 2011, S1 announced that the S1 Board had rejected the Original ACI Merger Proposal. On August 25, 2011, ACI
publicly announced the Enhanced ACI Merger Proposal increasing the cash
consideration payable under the Original ACI Merger Proposal by $0.50 per S1 Share, assuming full
proration. ACI would
prefer to acquire S1 in a merger transaction of the type contemplated by the Enhanced ACI Merger
Proposal. However, in light of the S1 Boards rejection of the
Original ACI Merger Proposal, ACI
is making the Exchange Offer directly to S1 stockholders on the terms and conditions set forth in
this prospectus/offer to exchange as an alternative to the Enhanced ACI Merger Proposal.
If the Exchange Offer is completed and ACI, through Offeror, acquires a majority of the
outstanding S1 Shares, subject to applicable law, ACI currently expects to seek to replace the
existing S1 Board or increase the size of the S1 Board and elect ACI nominees who would in the
aggregate constitute a majority of the members of the S1 Board. See Appendix A to this
prospectus/offer exchange for information as to the individuals, all of whom are currently
directors or officers of ACI, that ACI currently expects it would propose to elect to the S1 Board.
In the event that Offeror accepts S1 Shares for exchange in the Exchange Offer, ACI intends to
acquire any additional outstanding S1 Shares pursuant to the Second-Step Merger, although ACI also
reserves the right, subject to applicable law, to acquire S1 Shares pursuant to other means,
including open market purchases and privately negotiated transactions. ACI reserves the right,
subject to applicable law, to commence a consent solicitation or take other action prior to or
after the Expiration Time of the Exchange Offer to seek to change the composition of the S1 Board.
ACIs director nominees pursuant to such consent solicitation, if it occurs, may include persons
other than those identified on Appendix A. Any such consent solicitation will be made only
pursuant to separate consent solicitation materials filed with and in accordance with the
requirements of the rules and regulations of the SEC.
For more details regarding the reasons for the Exchange Offer, please see the section of this
prospectus/offer to exchange titled The Proposed Acquisition, Background and Reasons for the
Exchange Offer.
If, and to the extent that ACI, Offeror and/or any of ACIs subsidiaries acquires control of
S1 or otherwise obtains access to the books and records of S1, ACI intends to conduct a detailed
review of S1s business, operations, capitalization and management and consider and determine what,
if any, changes would be desirable in light of the circumstances which then exist. ACI intends to
eliminate S1s public company infrastructure and restructure the
combined companys legal entity organization, including restructuring S1s non-U.S.
subsidiaries. In addition, it is expected that, initially following the Second-Step Merger, the
business and operations of S1 will, except as set forth in this prospectus/offer to exchange, be
continued substantially as they are currently being conducted, but ACI expressly reserves the right
to make any changes that it deems necessary, appropriate or convenient to optimize potential in
conjunction with ACIs businesses and ACIs review or in light of future developments. Such
changes could include, among other things, changes in S1s business, corporate and legal structure,
assets, properties, marketing strategies, capitalization, management, personnel or dividend policy
and changes to S1s restated certificate of incorporation and its amended and restated by-laws.
70
Except as indicated in this prospectus/offer to exchange or as announced in the Enhanced ACI
Merger Proposal, neither ACI nor any of ACIs subsidiaries has any current plans or proposals that
relate to or would result in (1) any extraordinary transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or
liquidation of S1 or any of its subsidiaries, (2) any purchase, sale or transfer of a material
amount of assets of S1 or any of its subsidiaries, (3) any material change in the present dividend
rate or policy, or indebtedness or capitalization of S1 or any of its subsidiaries, (4) any change
in the current board of directors or management of S1 or any change to any material term of the
employment contract of any executive officer of S1, (5) any other material change in S1s corporate
structure or business, (6) any class of equity security of S1 being delisted from a national stock
exchange or ceasing to be authorized to be quoted in an automated quotation system operated by a
national securities association, or (7) any class of equity securities of S1 becoming eligible for
termination of registration under Section 12(g)(4) of the Exchange Act.
Effect of the Exchange Offer on the Market for S1 Shares; NASDAQ Listing; Registration Under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934; Margin Regulations
Effect of the Exchange Offer on the Market for the S1 Shares
In the event that not all S1 Shares are tendered in the Exchange Offer and Offeror accepts for
exchange those S1 Shares tendered into the Exchange Offer, the number of S1 stockholders and the
number of S1 Shares held by individual holders will be greatly reduced. As a result, Offerors
acceptance of S1 Shares for exchange in the Exchange Offer could adversely affect the liquidity and
could also adversely affect the market value of the remaining S1 Shares held by the public. The
extent of the public market for S1 Shares and the availability of quotations reported in the
over-the-counter market depends upon the number of S1 stockholders holding S1 Shares, the aggregate
market value of the S1 Shares remaining at such time, the interest of maintaining a market in the
S1 Shares on the part of any securities firms and other factors. According to the S1s Proxy
Statement dated August 19, 2011, as of August 18, 2011, there were 55,519,459 S1 Shares
outstanding. According to the S1 10-K, as of the close of business on February 17, 2011, there
were 427 holders of record of S1 Shares, although there are a much larger number of beneficial
owners.
NASDAQ Listing
S1 Shares are listed on the NASDAQ. Depending upon the number of S1 Shares exchanged pursuant
to the Exchange Offer and the aggregate market value of any S1 Shares not purchased pursuant to the
Exchange Offer, S1 Shares may no longer meet the standards for continued listing on the NASDAQ and
may be delisted from the NASDAQ. The published guidelines of the NASDAQ indicate that it would
consider delisting the S1 Shares if, among other things, (1) the number of round lot S1
stockholders falls below 400, (2) the number of publicly held S1 Shares falls below 750,000 or (3)
the market value of publicly held S1 Shares falls below $5,000,000.
If, as a result of the exchange of S1 Shares pursuant to the Exchange Offer or otherwise, S1
Shares no longer meet the requirements of the NASDAQ for continued listing and the listing of S1
Shares is discontinued, the market for S1 Shares could be adversely affected. If the NASDAQ were
to delist S1 Shares, it is possible that S1 Shares would continue to trade on another securities
exchange or in the over-the-counter market and that price or other quotations would be reported by
such exchange or other sources. The extent of the public market therefor and the availability of
such quotations would depend, however, upon such factors as the number of S1 stockholders and/or
the aggregate market value of such securities remaining at such time, the interest in maintaining a
market in S1 Shares on the part of securities firms, the possible termination of registration under
the Exchange Act as described below, and other factors. ACI cannot predict whether the reduction
in the number of S1 Shares that might otherwise trade publicly would have an adverse or beneficial
effect on the market price for or marketability of S1
Shares or whether it would cause future market prices to be greater or less than the
consideration being offered in the Exchange Offer. If S1 Shares are not delisted prior to the
Second-Step Merger, then S1 Shares will cease to be listed on the NASDAQ upon consummation of the
Second-Step Merger.
Registration Under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
S1 Shares are currently registered under the Exchange Act. This registration may be
terminated upon application by S1 to the SEC if S1 Shares are not listed on a national securities
exchange and there are fewer than 300 record holders. Termination of registration would
substantially reduce the information required to be furnished
71
by S1 to holders of S1 Shares and to
the SEC and would make certain provisions of the Exchange Act, such as the short-swing profit
recovery provisions of Section 16(b), the requirement of furnishing a proxy statement in connection
with stockholders meetings and the requirements of Exchange Act Rule 13e-3 with respect to going
private transactions, no longer applicable to S1. In addition, affiliates of S1 and persons
holding restricted securities of S1 may be deprived of the ability to dispose of these securities
pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act. If registration of S1 Shares is not terminated
prior to the Second-Step Merger, then the registration of S1 Shares under the Exchange Act will be
terminated upon consummation of the Second-Step Merger.
Margin Regulations
S1 Shares are currently margin securities, as such term is defined under the rules of the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the Federal Reserve Board), which has the
effect, among other things, of allowing brokers to extend credit on the collateral of such
securities. Depending upon factors similar to those described above regarding listing and market
quotations, following the Exchange Offer it is possible that S1 Shares would no longer constitute
margin securities for purposes of the margin regulations of the Federal Reserve Board, in which
event S1 Shares would no longer be used as collateral for loans made by brokers. In addition, if
registration of S1 Shares under the Exchange Act were terminated, S1 Shares would no longer
constitute margin securities.
Conditions of the Exchange Offer
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Exchange Offer, and in addition to (and not in
limitation of) Offerors right to extend and amend and supplement the Exchange Offer at any time,
in its discretion, Offeror shall not be required to accept for exchange any S1 Shares tendered
pursuant to the Exchange Offer, shall not be required to make any exchange for S1 Shares accepted
for exchange, and may extend, terminate or amend or supplement the Exchange Offer, if immediately
prior to the Expiration Time (or substantially concurrently therewith), in the judgment of ACI, any
one or more of the following conditions shall not have been satisfied:
Minimum Tender Condition
S1 stockholders shall have validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the Expiration Time at
least that number of S1 Shares that, when added to the S1 Shares then owned by ACI, Offeror or any
of ACIs other subsidiaries, shall constitute a majority of the then-outstanding number of S1
Shares on a fully diluted basis.
Fundtech Merger Agreement Condition
S1 stockholders shall have
voted against the issuance of S1 Shares pursuant to the Fundtech Merger Agreement at a duly
convened meeting of S1 stockholders, and the Fundtech Merger
Agreement shall have been validly terminated and ACI shall reasonably believe that S1 has no liability, and
Fundtech shall not have asserted any claim of liability or breach against S1 in connection with the
Fundtech Merger Agreement, other than with respect to the possible payment of the Fundtech
termination fee.
Registration Statement Condition
The registration statement of which this prospectus/offer to exchange and the accompanying
letter of election and transmittal is a part shall have become effective under the Securities Act,
no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement shall have been issued and
no proceedings for that purpose shall have been initiated or threatened by the SEC and ACI shall
have received all necessary state securities law or blue sky authorizations.
Delaware 203 Condition
The S1 Board shall have approved the acquisition of S1 Shares pursuant to the Exchange Offer
and Second-Step Merger under Section 203 of the DGCL, or ACI shall be satisfied that Section 203 of
the DGCL does not apply to or otherwise restrict such acquisition or the Second-Step Merger.
We note
that Section 203 of the DGCL will not apply to the Second-Step Merger if Offeror acquires at least 85%
of S1s outstanding voting stock following the Exchange Offer. We also note that, as condition to Fundtech entering
into the Fundtech Merger Agreement and Clal
entering into a voting agreement in support of the transactions contemplated by the Fundtech Merger
Agreement, the S1 Board exempted Clal, Fundtechs largest stockholder that is expected to own 24%
of the S1 Shares following the consummation of the Proposed Fundtech Merger, from the restrictions
applicable to interested stockholders under Section 203 of the DGCL.
72
NASDAQ Listing Condition
The ACI Shares to be issued to S1 stockholders as a portion of the Exchange Offer
consideration in exchange for S1 Shares in the Exchange Offer and the Second-Step Merger shall have
been authorized for listing on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, subject to official notice of
issuance.
Pending Litigation Condition
There shall be no threatened or pending litigation, suit, claim, action, proceeding, hearing

73
(a) there shall be in effect any order or injunction or any action taken, or any law or

Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this prospectus/offer to exchange by any
Governmental Authority which imposes any term, condition, obligation or restriction upon ACI, S1 or
any of their respective subsidiaries that would, in the reasonable
judgment of ACI, individually or the aggregate, reasonably be
expected to (1) have a material adverse effect (assuming all references to S1 in the definition of
material adverse effect were instead references to ACI) on ACI, Offeror and ACIs other
subsidiaries (assuming the consummation of the acquisition of S1 Shares in the Exchange Offer and
the Second-Step Merger) on a consolidated basis after the consummation of the Exchange Offer and

date of this prospectus/offer to exchange), (2) declared, paid or proposed to declare or pay any
dividend or other distribution, including in connection with the adoption of a stockholders rights
plan (or similar plan) which has not otherwise been terminated or rendered inapplicable to the
Exchange Offer and the Second-Step Merger prior to the Expiration Time, or (3) amended, or
authorized or proposed any amendment to, its restated certificate of incorporation or amended and
restated by-laws (or other similar constituent documents) or ACI becomes aware that S1 or any of
its subsidiaries shall have amended, or authorized or proposed any amendment to, its restated
certificate of incorporation or amended and restated by-laws (or other similar constituent

or indirectly, (i) delay or otherwise restrain, impede or prohibit the Exchange Offer or the
Second-Step Merger or (ii) prohibit or limit the full rights of ownership of S1 Shares by ACI,
Offeror or any of their affiliates, including, without limitation, the right to vote any S1 Shares
acquired by ACI, through Offeror, pursuant to the Exchange Offer or otherwise on all matters

case, pursuant to which it is agreed or provided that the Exchange Offer will be terminated;
(d) S1 or any of its subsidiaries has (1) granted to any person proposing a merger or other

Merger Agreement (other than a reduction of the Fundtech termination fee); or
(e) S1 stockholders have adopted the proposed Fundtech Merger Agreement or there has been a
business combination consummated between S1 and Fundtech,
which in the reasonable judgment of ACI in any such case, and regardless of the circumstances
giving rise to any such condition (other than any event or circumstance giving rise to the
triggering of a condition within the control of ACI), makes it inadvisable to proceed with the
Exchange Offer and/or with acceptance for exchange or exchange of S1 Shares.
The foregoing conditions are for the sole benefit of ACI and may be asserted by ACI regardless
of the circumstances giving rise to any such condition (other than any event or circumstance giving
rise to the triggering of a condition within the control of ACI) or, other than the conditions
described under the subheadings Registration
74
Statement Condition, NASDAQ Listing Condition, and
Competition Condition, above, which we refer to collectively as the unwaivable conditions, may
be waived by ACI in whole or in part at any time and from time to time prior to the Expiration Time
in its discretion. To the extent ACI waives a condition set forth in this section with respect to
one tender, ACI will waive that condition with respect to all other tenders. We expressly reserve
the right to waive any of the conditions to the Exchange Offer, other than the unwaivable
conditions, and to make any change in the terms of or conditions to the Exchange Offer. The
failure by ACI at any time to exercise any of the foregoing rights shall not be deemed a waiver of
any such right; the waiver of any such right with respect to particular facts and other
circumstances shall not be deemed a waiver with respect to any other facts and circumstances; and
each such right shall be deemed an ongoing right that may be asserted at any time and from time to
time until the Expiration Time. Any determination by ACI concerning any condition or event
described in this prospectus/offer to exchange and the accompanying letter of election and
transmittal shall be final and binding on all parties to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law.
Dividends and Distributions
If, on or after the date of this prospectus/offer to exchange, S1:
|
|
|
splits, combines or otherwise changes the S1 Shares or its capitalization; |
|
|
|
|
acquires or otherwise causes a reduction in the number of outstanding S1 Shares; or |
|
|
|
|
issues or sells any additional S1 Shares (other than S1 Shares issued pursuant to,
and in accordance with, the terms in effect on the date of this prospectus/offer to
exchange of employee stock options, stock units or other similar awards outstanding
prior to the date of this prospectus/offer to exchange), shares of any other class or
series of capital stock of S1 (including preferred stock) or any options, warrants,
convertible securities or other rights of any kind to acquire any of the foregoing, or
any other ownership interest (including, without limitation, any phantom interest), of
S1: |
then, without prejudice to ACIs rights under the section of this prospectus/offer to exchange
titled Conditions of the Exchange Offer, ACI may make such adjustments to the Exchange Offer
consideration and other terms of the Exchange Offer and the Second-Step Merger (including the
number and type of securities to be exchanged) as it deems appropriate to reflect such split,
combination or other change.
If, on or after the date of this prospectus/offer to exchange, S1 declares, sets aside, makes
or pays any dividend on the S1 Shares or makes any other distribution (including the issuance of
additional share capital pursuant to a share dividend or share split, the issuance of other
securities or the issuance of rights for the purchase of any securities) with respect to S1 Shares
that is payable or distributable to stockholders of record on a date prior to the transfer to the
name of ACI or its nominee or transferee on S1s stock transfer records of the S1 Shares exchanged
pursuant to the Exchange Offer, then, without prejudice to ACIs rights under The Exchange Offer
Extension, Termination and Amendment and The Exchange OfferConditions of the Exchange Offer:
|
|
|
the aggregate consideration per S1 Share payable by Offeror pursuant to the Exchange
Offer will be reduced to the extent any such dividend or distribution is payable in
cash; and |
|
|
|
|
the whole of any such non-cash dividend, distribution or issuance to be received by
the tendering stockholders will (1) be received and held by the tendering S1
stockholders for the account of Offeror and will be required to be promptly remitted
and transferred by each tendering S1 stockholder to the exchange agent for the account
of Offeror, accompanied by appropriate documentation of transfer or (2) at the
direction of ACI, be exercised for the benefit of ACI, in which case the proceeds of
such exercise will promptly be remitted to ACI. |
Pending such remittance and subject to applicable law, ACI, through Offeror, will be entitled
to all the rights and privileges as owner of any such non-cash dividend, distribution or right and
may withhold the entire Exchange Offer consideration or deduct from the Exchange Offer
consideration the amount or value thereof, as determined by ACI in its discretion.
75
Source and Amount of Funds
ACI estimates that the aggregate consideration to be paid to S1 stockholders in connection
with the Exchange Offer and Second-Step Merger will consist of $344.2 million in cash (less
applicable withholding taxes and without interest) and that number of ACI Shares determined in
accordance with the exchange ratio. In addition, S1 stockholders will receive cash in lieu of any
fractional ACI Shares to which they may be entitled.
No other plans or arrangements have been made to finance or repay such financing after the
consummation of the Exchange Offer and the Second-Step Merger. No alternative financing
arrangements or alternative financing plans have been made in the event such financings fail to
materialize.
Amount of Cash Required
ACI estimates that the total amount of cash required to complete the transactions contemplated
by the Exchange Offer and the Second-Step Merger will be
approximately $400 million, which estimated total
amount includes:
|
|
|
payment of the cash portion of the Exchange Offer consideration required to acquire
all of the S1 Shares pursuant to the Exchange Offer and the Second-Step Merger
(including the cash payments due in lieu of the issuance of fractional ACI Shares); |
|
|
|
|
any cash that may be required to be paid in respect of dissenters or appraisal
rights; and |
|
|
|
|
payment of any fees, expenses and other related amounts incurred in connection with
the Exchange Offer and Second-Step Merger. |
We expect to have sufficient funds to complete the transactions contemplated by the Exchange
Offer and the Second-Step Merger and to pay fees, expenses and other related amounts through a
combination of (1) ACIs and S1s cash on hand and (2) borrowings under the proposed commitments
described below.
The estimated amount of cash required is based on ACIs due diligence review of S1s publicly
available information to date and is subject to change. For a further discussion of the risks
relating to ACIs limited due diligence review, see the section of this prospectus/offer to
exchange titled Risk FactorsRisk Factors Relating to the Exchange Offer and the Second-Step
Merger.
Commitments
We have obtained commitments from Wells Fargo to arrange, and Wells Fargo Bank to provide,
subject to certain conditions, senior bank financing consisting of up to $450 million under a
proposed new secured credit facility, comprised of a $200 million senior secured term loan (the
Term Facility) and a $250 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the Revolving
Facility and, together with the Term Facility, the Facility) for financing a portion of the cash
component of the consideration to be paid to S1 stockholders in connection with the Exchange Offer.
ACI plans to fund the remaining cash portion of the cash component of the consideration to be paid
to S1 stockholders in connection with the Exchange Offer through the cash on ACIs balance sheet
(the Cash Contribution), provided that the Cash Contribution shall be deemed to be
reduced by the amount of cash on the balance sheet of ACI used by ACI prior to the Expiration Time solely
for purposes of acquiring outstanding capital stock of S1. Additionally, ACI will have the right, but not the obligation, to
increase the amount of the Facility
by incurring an incremental term loan facility or increasing the Revolving Facility in an
aggregate principal amount not to exceed $75 million, subject to certain conditions and under terms
to be determined.
Interest; Letter of Credit Fees; Unused Commitment Fees
Each loan made under the Facility will bear interest at an Adjusted LIBOR Rate or Alternate
Base Rate (as contemplated by the commitment letter relating to the Facility) plus the margin
described in the chart below. Interest periods on Adjusted LIBOR Rate-based loans may be one, two,
three or six months, at ACIs option. In the case of Adjusted LIBOR Rate-based loans, interest
will accrue on the basis of a 360-day year, and will be payable on the last day of each relevant
interest period and, for any interest period longer than three months, on each successive date
three months after the first day of such interest period. Interest will accrue on Alternate Base
Rate-based loans on the basis of a 365/366-day year (or 360-day year if based on the Adjusted LIBOR
Rate) and shall be payable quarterly in arrears.
76
Unused loan commitments will be subject to an unused commitment fee, as described in the chart
below.

Fargo prior to the completion of the Exchange Offer) and the proceeds from the
borrowings made on the closing date of the Facility, will be the sole and sufficient
sources of funds to consummate the transactions contemplated to occur on such date,
refinance certain existing indebtedness of ACI and its subsidiaries (including the
Existing Credit Agreement) and S1 and to pay the transaction costs (and after the
application of proceeds from the borrowings on the closing date of the Facility, none

|
|
|
|
ACI will, and after completion of the Exchange Offer will use
commercially reasonable efforts to cause S1 to, cooperate with Wells Fargo

Memorandum) and

content to Wells Fargo (the Lender Presentation) in connection with the

Memorandum and a Lender Presentation on or before September 5, 2011; and

|
|
|
|
the Lender Meeting having occurred on or prior to September 9, 2011.
|
Notwithstanding any of the conditions outlined above, ACI and Wells Fargo
agree that the completion of the syndication of the Facility will not constitute a
condition precedent to the closing of the Facility and it is acknowledged and agreed that
if ACI delivers the Confidential Information Memorandum and Lender Presentation on or prior
to September 5, 2011 and the Lender Meeting occurs on or prior to
September 9, 2011, then,
provided that the other conditions set forth in the commitment letter are satisfied, nothing
in the commitment letter will impair the availability of the Facility
on or after September 28, 2011.
Maturity
ACI
expects that the contemplated Facility will mature on the five-year anniversary of the
closing date of the Facility.
Prepayments and Repayments
The loans made under the Facility may be voluntarily repaid without premium or penalty,
subject to ACIs payment of breakage costs in connection with any Adjusted LIBOR Rate-based loans.
Subject to certain exceptions and reductions, loans made under the Term Facility (and after
payment in full of the Term Facility, loans under the Revolving Facility (without a permanent
reduction of commitments)) will be mandatorily prepaid with (a) 100% of the net cash proceeds of
any sale or other disposition of any property or assets of ACI or any of its subsidiaries, (b) 100%
of the net cash proceeds of insurance paid on account of any loss of any property or assets of ACI
or any of its subsidiaries, (c) 50% of the net cash proceeds of any issuance of equity by
ACI, (d) 100% of the net cash proceeds of any incurrence of indebtedness for borrowed money by
ACI or any of its subsidiaries, (e) 50% of excess cash flow (to be defined in the loan documents)
if the Leverage Ratio (as defined in the commitment letter relating to the Facility) is greater
than 2.50:1.00, and (f) an amount equal to the balance of the proceeds held in the Escrow Account
(defined below) no later than the first business day following the earlier to occur of (i) the
abandonment or termination of the Exchange Offer and, to the extent entered into, either of the
acquisition documents and (ii) the date that is six months after the date of the commitment letter.
Guarantee
All obligations of ACI under the Facility will be unconditionally guaranteed by each of ACIs
material existing and subsequently acquired or organized domestic direct and indirect subsidiaries,
including S1 (but, excluding, to the extent necessary to comply with margin regulations, Offeror
and S1 prior to the closing date of the Second-Step Merger).
79
Security
All obligations of ACI and any guarantor under the Facility and any interest rate and/or
currency hedging obligations of ACI or any guarantor owed to the arranger, any agent or lender, or
any affiliate of the arranger, any agent or lender will be secured by first priority security
interests in all assets of ACI (including 100% of the capital stock of each material domestic
subsidiary and 65% of the capital stock of each material first-tier foreign subsidiary of ACI and
all intercompany debt, but prior to the Second-Step Merger, excluding any shares of S1 held be ACI
to the extent constituting margin stock) and any guarantor (except as otherwise agreed to by Wells
Fargo).
To the extent that the proceeds of the Term Facility (when taken together with the Cash
Contribution) funded on the closing date of the Exchange Offer exceed
62% of the total
consideration payable in accordance with the Exchange Offer documents in respect of the shares
accepted in the Exchange Offer plus the associated transaction costs then due and payable, the
excess proceeds of the Term Facility shall be funded directly into a blocked account of ACI held at
Wells Fargo which account shall be subject to a perfected first priority security interest to
secure the obligations of ACI in respect of the Facility pursuant to arrangements and documentation
(including, without limitation, a control agreement) in form and substance satisfactory to Wells
Fargo (the Escrow Account).
Representations and Warranties
The credit agreement for the Facility will contain representations and warranties by ACI (with
respect to itself and its subsidiaries and, only on and after the completion of the Exchange Offer,
S1) relating to: due organization; requisite power and authority; qualification; equity interests
and ownership; due authorization, execution, delivery and enforceability of the loan documents;
creation, perfection and priority of security interests; no conflicts; governmental consents;
historical and projected financial condition; no material adverse change; no restricted junior
payments; absence of material litigation; payment of taxes; title to properties; environmental
matters; no defaults under material agreements; Investment Company Act and margin stock matters;
ERISA and other employee matters; absence of brokers or finders fees; solvency; compliance with
laws; status as senior debt; full disclosure; and PATRIOT Act and other related matters.
On the closing date of the Facility, the only representations and warranties relating to S1,
its subsidiaries and business that will be a condition precedent to the initial funding of the
Facility will be (1) if acquisition documents have been executed on or prior to the closing date,
the representations and warranties made by or with respect to S1 in the acquisition documents as
are material to the interest of the lenders (but only to the extent that ACI or one of its
affiliates has the right to terminate its obligations under the acquisition agreement as a result
of a breach of such representations in the acquisition agreement) and

Certain Legal Matters; Regulatory Approvals
U.S. Antitrust Clearance
Under the HSR Act and the rules that have been promulgated thereunder, certain acquisition
transactions may not be consummated unless certain information has been furnished to the Antitrust
Division and the FTC and certain waiting period requirements have been satisfied. The exchange of
S1 Shares pursuant to the Exchange Offer is subject to such requirements.
Pursuant to the requirements of the HSR Act, ACI filed a Notification and Report Form and
requested early termination of the HSR Act waiting period with respect to the Exchange Offer and
the Second-Step Merger with the Antitrust Division and the FTC on July 27, 2011. ACI withdrew its initial filing on August 26, 2011, and refiled it on August 29, 2011,
in order to permit the Antitrust Division to have additional time to review the filing. The
30-calendar day waiting period recommenced in connection with such refiling so that it now
expires, unless terminated earlier or extended, at 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time on September 28, 2011. The Antitrust Division may extend the
initial waiting period by issuing a Request for Additional Information and Documentary Material.
In such an event, the statutory waiting period would extend until 30 days after ACI has
substantially complied with the Request for Additional Information and Documentary Material, unless
it is earlier terminated by the applicable antitrust agency. Thereafter, the waiting period can be
extended only by court order or as agreed to by ACI. S1 Shares will not be accepted for exchange,
or exchanged, pursuant to the Exchange Offer until the expiration or earlier termination of the
applicable waiting period under the HSR Act.
Subject to certain circumstances described in the section of this prospectus/offer to exchange
titled The Exchange OfferExtension, Termination and Amendment, any extension of the waiting
period will not give rise to any withdrawal rights not otherwise provided for by applicable law.
Please see the section of this prospectus/offer to exchange titled The Exchange OfferWithdrawal
Rights.
Other Regulatory Approvals
The Exchange Offer and the Second-Step Merger will also be subject to review by antitrust,
insurance and other authorities in jurisdictions outside the U.S. ACI has filed and is in the
process of filing as soon as practicable all applications and notifications determined by ACI to be
necessary or advisable under the laws of the respective jurisdictions for the consummation of the
Exchange Offer and the Second-Step Merger.
No assurance can be given that the required consents and approvals of the applicable
governmental authorities to complete the Exchange Offer and Second-Step Merger will be obtained,
and, if all required consents and approvals are obtained, no assurance can be given as to the
terms, conditions and timing of the consents and approvals. If ACI agrees to any material
requirements, limitations, costs, divestitures or restrictions in order to obtain any consents or
approvals required to consummate the Exchange Offer, these requirements, limitations, additional
costs or restrictions could adversely affect ACIs ability to integrate the operations of ACI and
S1 or reduce the anticipated benefits of the combination contemplated by the Exchange Offer and
Second-Step Merger.
Please see the sections of this prospectus/offer to exchange titled Risk Factors and The
Exchange OfferConditions of the Exchange Offer.
82
Section 203 of the DGCL
Under Section 203 of the DGCL, ACI may not affect the Second-Step Merger for a period of three
years following the acquisition of S1 Shares in the Exchange Offer unless (1) ACI obtains the
approval of the S1 Board prior to obtaining beneficial ownership of more than 15% of the S1 Shares,
(2) ACI acquires beneficial ownership of at least 85% of the outstanding S1 Shares in the Exchange
Offer or another transaction in which it acquires greater than 15% ownership of S1, or (3) if
either the conditions set forth in clause (1) or (2) is not satisfied, the Second-Step Merger is
approved by the S1 Board and the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding S1 Shares not
owned by ACI. The completion of the Exchange Offer is subject to the Delaware 203 Condition, which
means either that (1) or (2) must apply.
Section 203 could significantly delay ACIs ability to acquire the entire equity interest in
S1. Whether or not ACI will waive this condition will depend on future facts which cannot
presently be ascertained, including how many S1 Shares are tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer
and actions taken by S1 or the S1 Board.
We
note that, as condition to Fundtech entering into the Fundtech Merger
Agreement and Clal entering into a voting agreement in support of the transactions contemplated by the Fundtech Merger
Agreement, the S1 Board exempted Clal, Fundtechs largest stockholder that is expected to own 24%
of the S1 Shares following the consummation of the Proposed Fundtech Merger, from the restrictions
applicable to interested stockholders under Section 203 of the DGCL.
Other State Takeover Statutes
A number of other states have adopted laws and regulations applicable to attempts to acquire
securities of corporations which are incorporated, or have substantial assets, stockholders,
principal executive offices or principal places of business, or whose business operations otherwise
have substantial economic effects, in such states. To the extent that these state takeover
statutes (other than Section 203 of the DGCL) purport to apply to the Exchange Offer or the
Second-Step Merger, ACI believes that there are reasonable bases for contesting such laws. In
Edgar v. MITE Corp., the Supreme Court of the United States invalidated on constitutional grounds
the Illinois Business Takeover Statute, which, as a matter of state securities law, made takeovers
of corporations meeting certain requirements more difficult. However, in 1987 in CTS Corp. v.
Dynamics Corp. of America, the Supreme Court held that the State of Indiana may, as a matter of
corporate law and, in particular, with respect to those aspects of corporate law concerning
corporate governance, constitutionally disqualify a potential acquiror from voting on the affairs
of a target corporation without the prior approval of the remaining stockholders. The state law
before the Supreme Court was by its terms applicable only to corporations that had a substantial
number of stockholders in the state and were incorporated there. Subsequently, in TLX Acquisition
Corp. v. Telex Corp., a Federal district court in Oklahoma ruled that the Oklahoma statutes were
unconstitutional insofar as they apply to corporations incorporated outside Oklahoma because they
would subject those corporations to inconsistent regulations. Similarly, in Tyson Foods, Inc. v.
McReynolds, a federal district court in Tennessee ruled that four Tennessee takeover statutes were
unconstitutional as applied to corporations incorporated outside Tennessee. This decision was
affirmed by the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. In December 1988, a federal
district court in Florida held, in Grand Metropolitan P.L.C. v. Butterworth, that the provisions of
the Florida Affiliated Transactions Act and the Florida Control Share Acquisition Act were
unconstitutional as applied to corporations incorporated outside of Florida.
S1, directly or through its subsidiaries, conducts business in a number of states throughout
the United States, some of which have enacted takeover laws. ACI does not know whether any of
these laws will, by their terms, apply to the Exchange Offer or the Second-Step Merger and has not
complied with any such laws. Should any person seek to apply any state takeover law, ACI will take
such action as then appears desirable, which may include challenging the validity or applicability
of any such statute in appropriate court proceedings. In the event it is asserted that one or more
state takeover laws is applicable to the Exchange Offer or the Second-Step Merger, and an
appropriate court does not determine that it is inapplicable or invalid as applied to the Exchange
Offer, ACI might be required to file certain information with, or receive approvals from, the
relevant state authorities. In addition, if enjoined, ACI might be unable to accept for exchange
any S1 Shares tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer, or be delayed in continuing or consummating
the Exchange Offer and the Second-Step Merger. In such case, ACI may not be obligated to accept
for exchange any S1 Shares tendered. Please see the section of this prospectus/offer to exchange
titled The Exchange OfferConditions of the Exchange Offer.
83
Going Private Transaction
The SEC has adopted Rule 13e-3 under the Exchange Act which is applicable to certain going
private transactions and which may under certain circumstances be applicable to the Second-Step
Merger or another business combination following the exchange of S1 Shares pursuant to the Exchange
Offer in which ACI seeks to acquire the remaining S1 Shares not held by it. ACI believes that Rule
13e-3 should not be applicable to the Second-Step Merger; however, the SEC may take a different
view under the circumstances. Rule 13e-3 requires, among other things, that certain financial
information concerning S1 and certain information relating to the fairness of the proposed
transaction and the consideration offered to minority stockholders in such transaction be filed
with the SEC and disclosed to stockholders prior to consummation of the transaction.
Other
Based upon our examination of publicly available information concerning S1, it appears that S1
and its subsidiaries conduct business in a number of jurisdictions outside of the United States.
In connection with the acquisition of S1 Shares pursuant to the Exchange Offer, the laws of certain
of these jurisdictions outside of the United States may require the filing of information with, or
the obtaining of the approval of, governmental authorities therein. After commencement of the
Exchange Offer, we will seek further information regarding the applicability of any such laws and
currently intend to take such action as they may require, but no assurance can be given that such
approvals will be obtained. If any action is taken before completion of the Exchange Offer by any
such governmental authority, we may not be obligated to accept for payment or pay for any tendered
S1 Shares. Please see the section of this prospectus/offer to exchange titled The Exchange
OfferConditions of the Exchange Offer.
Certain Relationships With S1 and Interests of ACI in the Exchange Offer
As of the
date of the Exchange Offer, ACI beneficially owns 1,107,000 S1 Shares, representing
approximately 2.0% of the outstanding S1 Shares. Purchase of these S1 Shares is described on
Appendix B to this prospectus/offer to exchange. With the exception of the foregoing, ACI has not
effected any transaction in securities of S1 in the past 60 days.
The name, citizenship, business address, business telephone number, principal occupation or
employment, and five-year employment history for each of the directors and executive officers of
ACI and Offeror and certain other information is set forth in
Appendix A and Appendix B to this prospectus/offer to exchange.
Except as described in this prospectus/offer to exchange and in
Appendix A and Appendix B hereto, none of ACI, Offeror, or,
after due inquiry and to the best of our knowledge and belief, any of the persons listed on
Appendix A or Appendix B to this prospectus/offer to exchange, has during the last five years (i) been convicted
in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) been a
party to any judicial or administrative proceeding (except for matters that were dismissed without
sanction or settlement) that resulted in a judgment, decree or final order enjoining the person
from future violations of, or prohibiting activities subject to, federal or state securities laws
or finding any violation of such laws. Except as set forth in this prospectus/offer to exchange
and set forth in Appendix C to this prospectus/offer to exchange, after due inquiry and to the best
of our knowledge and belief, none of the persons listed on
Appendix A or Appendix B hereto, nor any of their
respective associates or majority owned subsidiaries, beneficially owns or has the right to acquire
any securities of S1 or has effected any transaction in securities of S1 during the past 60 days.
ACI does not believe that the Exchange Offer and the Second-Step Merger will result in a
change in control under any of ACIs stock option plans or any employment agreement between ACI and
any of its employees. As a result, no options or other equity grants held by such persons will
vest as a result of the Exchange Offer and the Second-Step Merger.
Fees and Expenses
ACI has engaged
Wells Fargo as a financial advisor with respect to the transaction. In
connection with Wells Fargos services as a financial advisor to ACI in connection with the
transaction.
ACI has agreed to pay Wells Fargo an aggregate fee of $4 million, none of which has been paid
and all of which is contingent upon the consummation of the transaction. In addition, ACI has
agreed to pay Wells Fargo $1 million upon delivery of a fairness opinion to the ACI Board, which amount
would be credited against any transaction
fee. In addition, ACI will reimburse Wells Fargo for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including
the reasonable fees and expenses of its legal counsel. ACI has also agreed to indemnify
84
Wells Fargo and its affiliates in connection with Wells Fargos service as a financial advisor against
certain liabilities in connection with their engagement.
ACI has also engaged Wells Fargo to act as dealer manager in connection with the Exchange
Offer. Wells Fargo may contact beneficial owners of S1 Shares in its capacity as dealer manager
regarding the Exchange Offer and may request brokers, dealers, commercial banks, trust companies
and other nominees to forward this prospectus/offer to exchange and related materials to beneficial
owners of S1 Shares. ACI will not pay Wells Fargo any additional fee in respect of its services as
dealer manager in connection with the Exchange Offer. ACI will reimburse Wells Fargo for its
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of its legal counsel,
not to exceed $10,000 in the aggregate without the prior written consent of ACI. ACI has also
agreed to indemnify Wells Fargo and its affiliates in connection with Wells Fargos service as
dealer manager against certain liabilities in connection with their engagement.
ACI has also engaged Wells Fargo and Wells Fargo Bank to provide financing for the Exchange
Offer and ACI has agreed to pay Wells Fargo and Wells Fargo Bank customary fees in respect thereof.
As part of this engagement, ACI has agreed that Wells Fargo Bank will have the right to act as,
among other roles, lead managers and lead left bookrunners in connection with any public or Rule
144A offering.
ACI has retained Innisfree M&A Incorporated (Innisfree) as information agent in connection
with the Exchange Offer. The information agent may contact holders of S1 Shares by mail,
telephone, facsimile, telegraph, the internet, e-mail, newspapers and other publications of general
distribution and in person and may request brokers, dealers, commercial banks, trust companies and
other nominees to forward materials relating to the Exchange Offer to beneficial owners of S1
Shares. ACI will pay the information agent up to $250,000 for these services and the solicitation
and advisory services described below, in addition to reimbursing the information agent for its
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. ACI agreed to indemnify the information agent against certain
liabilities and expenses in connection with the Exchange Offer.
ACI has also retained Innisfree for solicitation and advisory services in connection with
certain solicitations described in this prospectus/offer to exchange, for which Innisfree will
receive a customary fee. ACI has also agreed to reimburse Innisfree for out-of-pocket expenses and
to indemnify Innisfree against certain liabilities and expenses, including reasonable legal fees
and related charges.
In addition, ACI has retained Wells Fargo Bank as the exchange agent in connection with
the Exchange Offer. ACI will pay the exchange agent reasonable and customary compensation for its
services in connection with the Exchange Offer, will reimburse the exchange agent for its
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and will indemnify the exchange agent against certain liabilities
and expenses.
Except as set forth above, ACI will not pay any fees or commissions to any broker, dealer or
other person for soliciting tenders of shares pursuant to the Exchange Offer. ACI will reimburse
brokers, dealers, commercial banks and trust companies and other nominees, upon request, for
customary clerical and mailing expenses incurred by them in forwarding offering materials to their
customers.
Accounting Treatment
The acquisition of S1 Shares by ACI will be accounted for under the acquisition method of
accounting in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Boards Accounting Standards
Codification (ASC) 805, Business Combinations, and use the fair value concepts defined in ASC 820,
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. ACI will be considered the acquirer of S1 for accounting
purposes. In determining the acquirer for accounting purposes, ACI considered the factors required
under U.S. GAAP.
ASC 805 requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be
recognized at their fair values as of the consummation of the offer. In addition, ASC 805
establishes that the consideration transferred be measured at the consummation of the offer at the
then-current market price; this particular requirement will likely result in a per share equity
component that is different from the amount assumed in the pro forma financial statements.
85
ASC 820 defines the term fair value and sets forth the valuation requirements for any asset
or liability measured at fair value, expands related disclosure requirements and specifies a
hierarchy of valuation techniques based on the nature of the inputs used to develop the fair value
measures. Fair value is defined in ASC 820 as the price that would be received to sell an asset
or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the
measurement date. This is an exit price concept for the valuation of the asset or liability. In
addition, market participants are assumed to be buyers and sellers in the principal (or the most
advantageous) market for the asset or liability. Fair value measurements for an asset assume the
highest and best use by these market participants. As a result of these standards, ACI may be
required to record assets which are not intended to be used or sold and/or to value assets at fair
value measures that do not reflect ACIs intended use of those assets. Many of these fair value
measurements can be highly subjective and it is also possible that other professionals, applying
reasonable judgment to the same facts and circumstances, could develop and support a range of
alternative estimated amounts.
Under ASC 805 acquisition-related transaction costs (e.g., advisory, legal, valuation, other
professional fees) and certain acquisition-related restructuring charges impacting the target
company are not included as a component of consideration transferred but are accounted for as
expenses in the periods in which the costs are incurred.

amended and restated by-laws could delay or discourage some transactions involving an actual or
potential change in control of
87
ACI or its management and may limit the ability of ACI stockholders
to remove current management or approve transactions that ACI stockholders may deem to be in their
best interests. These provisions:
|
|
|
authorize ACIs board of directors to establish one or more series of undesignated
preferred stock, the terms of which can be determined by the board of directors at the time
of issuance; |
|
|
|
|
provide an advanced written notice procedure with respect to stockholder proposals and

COMPARISON OF STOCKHOLDERS RIGHTS
As a result of the offer and the Second-Step Merger, holders of S1 Shares will become holders
of ACI Shares. Both companies are Delaware corporations and are governed by the DGCL, so many of
the differences between the rights of the stockholders of ACI and the current rights of the
stockholders of S1 arise primarily from differences in their respective constituent documents.
The following is a summary of the material differences between the current rights of S1
stockholders and the current rights of ACI stockholders under Delaware law and their respective
constituent documents. It is not a complete statement of the provisions affecting, and the
differences between, the rights of S1 stockholders and ACI stockholders. This summary is qualified
in its entirety by reference to Delaware law, as well as to ACIs amended and restated certificate
of incorporation, its amended and restated by-laws, S1s amended and restated certificate of
incorporation (as amended) and its amended and restated by-laws. Copies of these documents have
been filed with the SEC and to find out where copies may be obtained, see the section entitled

received
by the secretary of ACI not less than 90
calendar days nor greater than 120 calendar
days prior to the first anniversary of the
date of the immediately preceding years
annual meeting of stockholders; provided,
however, that if the date of the annual

calendar days after the anniversary of the
preceding years annual meeting, notice by

and (b) the 10th calendar day following the

Each such notice shall set forth (i) the
name and address of the stockholder who
intends to make the nomination and of the
beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf
the nomination is made; (ii) a

directors. To be proper,
a stockholders notice with respect to an
annual meeting generally must be delivered
to S1s principal executive offices not
less than 90 nor more than 120 calendar
days prior to the first anniversary of the
previous years annual meeting; provided,
however, that if (a) the annual meeting is
called for a date not within 60 calendar
days before or after the anniversary date
and (b) less than 60 days notice or prior
public disclosure of the date of the
meeting is given to stockholders, the
notice must be received within 10 days of
the date on which notice of the date of
the annual meeting was mailed or publicly
disclosed.
The notice must contain certain
information, including information
regarding the stockholder and the nominee.
These requirements are in addition to any

controlling, controlled by, or under common
control with, any person specified in the
foregoing clause (1) or (2) (with the term

under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended) (any such person or beneficial
owners set forth in the foregoing clauses
(1), (2) and (3) shall be a Stockholder
Associated Person).
The stockholder notice must also disclose

UNAUDITED CONDENSED COMBINED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year
ended December 31, 2010 and for the six months ended June 30, 2011 are presented on a pro forma
basis to give effect to the Exchange Offer and related transactions as if they had been completed
on January 1, 2010. The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June
30, 2011 is presented on a pro forma basis to give effect to the
Exchange Offer and related transactions as
if they had been completed on June 30, 2011.
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, or the pro forma
financial statements, were derived from and should be read in conjunction with:
|
|
|
the consolidated financial statements of ACI as of and for the year ended December
31, 2010 and the related notes included in the ACI 10-K, which is incorporated by
reference into this prospectus/offer to exchange; |
|
|
|
|
the consolidated financial statements of S1 as of and for the year ended December
31, 2010 and the related notes included in the S1 10-K, which is incorporated by
reference into this prospectus/offer to exchange; |
|
|
|
|
the consolidated financial statements of ACI as of and for the six months ended June
30, 2011 and the related notes included in the ACI 10-Q, which is incorporated by
reference into this prospectus/offer to exchange; and |
|
|
|
|
the consolidated financial statements of S1 as of and for the six months ended June
30, 2011 and the related notes included in the S1 10-Q, which is incorporated by
reference into this prospectus/offer to exchange. |
The consolidated financial statements of ACI and S1 as of June 30, 2011 and for the six months
ended June 30, 2011 and year ended December 31, 2010 have been adjusted in the pro forma financial
statements to give effect to items as disclosed in Note 4. The pro forma financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes to the pro forma financial statements.
The unaudited pro forma adjustments were based on publicly available information, including
the ACI 10-K, the ACI 10-Q, the S1 10-K and the S1 10-Q. The unaudited pro forma adjustments were
also based on certain assumptions and estimates that ACI believes are reasonable based on such
publicly available information. S1 has not participated in the preparation of the pro forma
financial statements or this prospectus/offer to exchange and has not reviewed or verified the
information, assumptions or estimates relating to S1 in the pro forma financial statements.
Additional information may exist that could materially affect the assumptions and estimates and
related pro forma adjustments. Pro forma adjustments have been included only to the extent
appropriate information is known, factually supportable and reasonably available to ACI.
The pro forma financial statements assume, among other things, that upon consummation of the
offer all outstanding S1 Shares are acquired by ACI for $9.44 with S1 stockholders making a cash
and stock election, subject to proration of 62.0% Cash Consideration
and 38.0% Stock Consideration.
The pro forma financial statements have been presented for informational purposes only. The
pro forma financial statements are not necessarily indicative of what the combined companys
financial position or results of operations actually would have been had the Exchange Offer been
completed as of the dates indicated. In addition, the pro forma financial statements do not
purport to project the future financial position or operating results of the combined company.
There were no material transactions between ACI and S1 during the periods presented in the pro
forma financial statements that would need to be eliminated.
The pro forma financial statements have been prepared using the acquisition method of
accounting under U.S. GAAP. ACI has been treated as the acquirer in the Exchange Offer for
accounting purposes. Assumptions and estimates underlying the pro forma adjustments are described
in the accompanying notes, which should be read in conjunction with the pro forma financial
statements.
95
Acquisition accounting is dependent upon certain valuations and other studies that have not
yet begun or are not yet completed, and will not be completed until after the closing of the offer.
Accordingly, the pro forma adjustments are preliminary and have been made solely for the purpose
of preparing the pro forma financial statements and are based upon preliminary information
available at the time of the preparation of this prospectus/offer to exchange. Differences between
these preliminary estimates and the final acquisition accounting will occur and these differences
could have a material impact on the pro forma financial statements and the combined companys
future results of operations and financial position.
The pro forma financial statements do not reflect any cost savings or other synergies that the
combined company may achieve as a result of the offer or the costs to integrate the operations of
ACI and S1 or the costs necessary to achieve these cost savings and other synergies. The effects
of the foregoing items could, individually or in the aggregate, materially impact the pro forma
financial statements.
96
The following table presents unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet data at June
30, 2011 (expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, except share and per share data) giving effect to
the proposed acquisition of S1 Shares as if such acquisition had occurred at June 30, 2011:

Notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed
Combined Financial Statements
1. Description of Transaction
On July 26, 2011, ACI announced that it had made a proposal to acquire S1 in the form of a
letter to the S1 Board. Per the Original ACI Merger Proposal, all outstanding S1 Shares would
be acquired by ACI for $9.50 per S1 Share with S1 stockholders making a cash and stock election, subject to
proration of 40% Stock Consideration and 60% Cash Consideration. On August 2, 2011, S1
announced that the S1 Board had rejected the Original ACI Merger
Proposal. On August 25, 2011, ACI publicly announced the Enhanced ACI Merger Proposal increasing the cash
consideration payable under the Original ACI Merger Proposal by $0.50 per S1 Share, assuming full
proration.
At
August 29, 2011, the last trading day prior to the date of this offer, the closing trading
price for ACI Shares was $30.49 per share. Based on the closing trading ACI Share price as of
August 29, 2011, the Cash-Stock Consideration reflected in the Enhanced ACI Merger Proposal had
a blended value of $9.44 as of such date. These pro forma financial statements were prepared
using such value. The actual purchase price and the stock to cash proration values would vary
based upon ACIs stock price on the acquisition date.
The pro
forma financial statements do not give effect to ACIs
beneficial ownership of S1 Shares as of the date of this
prospectus/offer to exchange.
2. Basis of Presentation
These pro forma financial statements were prepared using the acquisition method of accounting in
accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Boards Accounting Standards Codification (ASC)
805, Business Combinations, and use the fair value concepts defined in ASC 820, Fair Value
Measurements and Disclosures. Certain reclassifications have been made to the historical
financial statements of S1 to conform with ACIs presentation, primarily related to showing
balances on the balance sheet that S1 only shows in their footnotes as detailed in the following
table:

ACI has not been able to perform any due diligence through which other differences in
presentation could be identified. Further review of S1s accounting policies could identify
additional differences between the accounting policies of the two companies that, when conformed,
could have a material impact on the financial statements of ACI as the combined company. At this
time, ACI is not aware of any differences that would have a material impact on the financial
statements of ACI as the combined company.
ASC 805 requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be
recognized at their fair values as of the consummation of the combination. In addition, ASC 805
establishes that the consideration transferred be measured at the consummation of the combination
at the then-current market price; this particular requirement will likely result in a per share
equity component that is different from the amount assumed in the pro forma financial statements.
ASC 820 defines the term fair value and sets forth the valuation requirements for any asset
or liability measured at fair value, expands related disclosure requirements and specifies a
hierarchy of valuation techniques
101
based on the nature of the inputs used to develop the fair value
measures. Fair value is defined in ASC 820 as the price that would be received to sell an asset
or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the
measurement date. This is an exit price concept for the valuation of the asset or liability. In
addition, market participants are assumed to be buyers and sellers in the principal (or the most
advantageous) market for the asset or liability. Fair value measurements for an asset assume the
highest and best use by these market participants. As a result of these standards, ACI may be
required to record assets which are not intended to be used or sold and/or to value assets at fair
value measures that do not reflect ACIs intended use of those assets. Many of these fair value
measurements can be highly subjective and it is also possible that other persons, applying
reasonable judgment to the same facts and circumstances, could develop and support a range of
alternative estimated amounts.
Under ASC 805 acquisition-related transaction costs, such as advisory, legal, valuation, other
professional fees, and certain acquisition-related restructuring charges impacting the target
company are not included as a component of consideration transferred but are accounted for as
expenses in the periods in which the costs are incurred. Total advisory, legal, regulatory,
valuation costs and change in control payments expected are estimated to be approximately $25.8
million. These anticipated costs for ACI are reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed
combined balance sheet as a reduction to retained earnings and an increase in debt.
3. Estimate of Consideration Expected to Transferred
The following is a preliminary estimate of consideration expected to be transferred to
consummate the offer:

S1 Basic Shares of Common Stock Outstanding in the above table is based upon the
55,519,459 shares outstanding as of August 18, 2011 per S1s proxy statement. |
The preliminary
purchase price will fluctuate with changes in the trading price of ACI Shares.
A 10% increase or decrease in the $30.49 price of ACI Shares used in the preliminary purchase
price calculation above would increase or decrease the purchase price
by approximately $18.0
million.
The table below represents a preliminary allocation of the purchase price as of June 30, 2011:

S1 has not participated in the preparation of the foregoing unaudited condensed combined
pro forma financial statements. As a result, the table above does not reflect adjustments for the
fair value of intangible assets acquired. ACI expects to allocate a portion of the purchase price
to developed technology, trade names and customer relationships. In addition, the pro forma
statement of operations does not reflect amortization of the fair value adjustments to other
intangible assets, including developed technology, trade names and customer relationships. For
each $1.0 million of purchase price allocated to intangible assets assuming a 7 year estimated
life, amortization expense will increase by $0.1 million and income before taxes will decrease by
$0.1 million.
102
The table above also does not reflect adjustments to deferred taxes related to book/tax basis
differences that may result from the purchase price allocation.
4. Pro Forma Adjustments
Adjustments included in the column under the heading Pro Forma Adjustments represent the
following:
|
|
|
(a) |
|
To adjust cash for the $100 million in ACI cash on hand expected to be paid as a part
of the acquisition. |

revolving credit facility and senior note secured for financing of the transaction. |
|
(d) |
|
To adjust accrued employee compensation for the additional liability to cash settle
S1s outstanding stock appreciation rights based upon S1s June 30, 2011 closing price of
$7.48 and the blended value of the Cash-Stock Consideration of $9.44. |
|
(e) |
|
To adjust for the payoff of S1 and ACIs existing outstanding debt. |
|
(f) |
|
To adjust for ACIs new revolving credit facility and senior note secured to finance
the transaction, including the current portion under the senior note. |
|
|
|
ACI has obtained commitments from Wells Fargo to arrange, and Wells Fargo Bank to provide,
subject to certain conditions, senior bank financing consisting of up to $450 million under a
proposed new secured credit facility, comprising of a $200 million senior secured term loan (the
Term Facility) and a $250 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the Revolving
Facility and, together with the Term Facility, the Facility) for financing the cash component of
the consideration to be paid to S1s stockholders in connection with the Exchange Offer.
Additionally, ACI will have the right, but not the obligation, to increase the amount of the
Facility by incurring an incremental term loan facility or increasing the Revolving Facility in an
aggregate principal amount not to exceed $75 million, subject to certain conditions and under terms
to be determined.
|
|
|
|
Each loan made under the Facility will bear interest at an Adjusted LIBOR Rate or Alternate
Base Rate (as contemplated by the commitment letter relating to the Facility) plus the margin
described in the chart below. Interest periods on Adjusted LIBOR Rate-based loans may be one, two,
three or six months, at ACIs option. In the case of Adjusted LIBOR Rate-based loans, interest will
accrue on the basis of a 360-day year, and will be payable on the last day of each relevant
interest period and, for any interest period longer than three months, on each successive date
three months after the first day of such interest period. Interest will accrue on Alternate Base
Ratebased loans on the basis of a 365/366-day year (or 360-day year if based on the Adjusted LIBOR
Rate) and shall be payable quarterly in arrears.
|
|
|
|
Unused loan commitments will be subject to an unused commitment fee, as described in the chart
below.

For purposes of calculating the pro forma interest expense, ACI used a rate of 2.26%
and 2.34% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and the year ended December 31, 2010,
respectively. A change in the interest
rate of 0.25% would change interest expense by approximately $0.4 million and $0.9 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and the year ended December 31, 2010, respectively. |

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus/offer to exchange and the accompanying letter of transmittal contains
forward-looking statements based on current expectations that involve a number of risks and
uncertainties. All opinions, forecasts, projections, future plans or other statements other than
statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements and include words or phrases such as
believes, will, expects, would and words and phrases of similar impact. The forward-looking
statements are made pursuant to safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform
Act of 1995.
We can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to have been correct. Actual
results could differ materially as a result of a variety of risks and uncertainties, many of which
are outside of the control of management. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not
limited to the following: (1) that a transaction with S1 may not be completed on a timely basis or
on favorable terms; (2) negative effects on our business or S1s business resulting from the
pendency of the exchange offer; (3) that we may not achieve the synergies and other expected
benefits within the expected time or in the amounts we anticipate; (4) that we may not be able to
promptly and effectively integrate the merged businesses after closing; and (5) that the committed
financing may not be available. Other factors that could materially affect our business and actual

LEGAL MATTERS
Before this registration statement becomes effective, Jones Day will provide an opinion
regarding the validity of the ACI Shares to be issued pursuant to the Exchange Offer.
EXPERTS
The consolidated financial statements of ACI and subsidiaries as of and for the years ended
December 31, 2010 and 2009, incorporated in this prospectus by reference from ACIs Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 and the effectiveness of ACIs internal control
over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, have been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an
independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their reports, which are incorporated
herein by reference. Such financial statements have been so incorporated in reliance upon the
reports of such firm given upon their authority as experts in accounting and auditing.
The consolidated financial statements of ACI and subsidiaries for the year ended December 31,
2008, have been incorporated by reference herein in reliance upon the report of KPMG LLP,
independent registered public accounting firm, incorporated by reference herein, and upon the
authority of said firm as experts in accounting and auditing.
The audit report on the December 31, 2008 consolidated financial statements contains an
explanatory paragraph that refers to the adoption of the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an interpretation of
FASB Statement No. 109 (now codified as Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 740, Income Taxes).
The consolidated financial statements of S1 appearing in the S1 10-K (including schedules
appearing therein), and S1s managements assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2010 included therein are incorporated herein by reference
and have been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm. Pursuant to Rule 436
under the Securities Act, ACI requires the consent of S1s independent auditors to incorporate by
reference their audit report to the S1 10-K in this prospectus/offer to exchange and, because such
consent has not been received, such audit report is not incorporated herein by reference. ACI has
requested and has, as of the date of this prospectus/offer to exchange, not received such consent
from S1s independent auditors. If ACI receives this consent, ACI will promptly file it as an
exhibit to ACIs registration statement of which this prospectus/offer to exchange forms a part.
We have applied for a waiver of this requirement under Rule 437 of the Securities Act
should such consent not be made available. Because ACI has not been able to obtain S1s auditors
consent, you may not be able to assert a claim against S1s independent auditors
106
under Section 11
of the Securities Act for any untrue statements of a material fact contained in the financial
statements audited by S1s independent auditors or any omissions to state a material fact
required to be stated therein.
The consolidated
financial statements of Fundtech appearing in Fundtechs Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2010 (including schedules appearing therein) (the
Fundtech 20-F), and Fundtechs
managements assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2010 included therein, both of which were incorporated by reference into S1s proxy
statement dated August 22, 2011, are incorporated herein by reference and have been audited by an
independent registered public accounting firm. Pursuant to Rule 436 under the Securities Act,
ACI requires the consent of Fundtechs independent auditors to incorporate by reference their
audit report to the Fundtech 20-F in this prospectus/offer to exchange and, because such
consent has not been received, such audit report is not incorporated herein by reference.
ACI has requested and has, as of the date of this prospectus/offer to exchange, not
received such consent from Fundtechs independent auditors. If ACI receives this consent,
ACI will promptly file it as an exhibit to ACIs registration statement of which this
prospectus/offer to exchange forms a part. We have applied for a waiver of this requirement
under Rule 437 of the Securities Act should such consent not be made available. Because ACI
has not been able to obtain Fundtechs auditors consent, you may not be able to assert a
claim against Fundtechs independent auditors under Section 11 of the Securities Act for
any untrue statements of a material fact contained in the financial statements audited by
Fundtechs independent auditors or any omissions to state a material fact required to be
stated therein.
SOLICITATION OF PROXIES
As discussed in this prospectus/offer to exchange, ACI has filed a proxy statement in
connection with the solicitation of proxies from S1 stockholders to vote against the adoption of
the Fundtech Merger Proposals brought before the S1 Special Stockholder Meeting as discussed in
more detail in such proxy statement. We believe that a vote against the Fundtech Merger Proposals
will send a message to the S1 Board that S1 stockholders reject the Proposed Fundtech Merger and
that the S1 Board should give consideration to other offers that it receives, including the
Enhanced ACI Merger Proposal. In such case, ACI believes the merger contemplated by the Enhanced
ACI Merger Proposal could be completed in the fourth quarter of 2011, which is consistent with the
publicly announced timing of the Proposed Fundtech Merger (subject to the satisfaction or waiver of
the conditions set forth in the Enhanced ACI Merger Proposal).
In the proxy statement filed by ACI, ACI is soliciting proxies from holders of S1 Shares to
vote AGAINST the proposals in furtherance of the Fundtech Merger Agreement. Specifically, ACI is
soliciting proxies to vote AGAINST the proposal to issue S1 Shares in connection with the
Proposed Fundtech Merger, which we refer to as the Share Issuance Proposal. In addition, in the
proxy statement filed by ACI, ACI is soliciting proxies to vote AGAINST the following related
proposals, although we believe that they (other than the Incentive Plan Amendment Proposal) would
be rendered moot if the Share Issuance Proposal is disapproved by S1 stockholders:
|
|
|
The proposal to adopt the certificate of amendment to the certificate of
incorporation of S1 Corporation to change S1s name to Fundtech Corporation, which we
refer to as the Charter Amendment Proposal; |
|
|
|
|
The proposal to amend the S1 Corporation 2003 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended and
restated effective February 26, 2008, to increase the number of S1 Shares available
for issuance thereunder, which we refer to as the Incentive Plan Amendment Proposal; |
|
|
|
|
The proposal to approve, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, the compensation that
may be paid or become payable to S1s named executive officers in connection with the
Proposed Fundtech Merger, and the agreements and understandings pursuant to which such
compensation may be paid or become payable, which we refer to as the Compensation
Advisory Proposal; and |
|
|
|
|
The proposal to approve adjournments or postponements of the Special Meeting, if
necessary, to permit further solicitation of proxies in favor of the Share Issuance
Proposal, the Charter Amendment Proposal, the Incentive Plan Amendment Proposal and the
Compensation Advisory Proposal (the Adjournment Proposal, and collectively, the
Fundtech Merger Proposals). |
S1 stockholders may obtain a free copy of the proxy statement described above and other
documents that ACI files with the SEC at its website at
http://www.sec.gov. In addition, ACIs proxy
statement may be obtained free of charge from ACI by contacting the information agent as directed
on the back cover of this prospectus/offer to exchange.
ADDITIONAL NOTE REGARDING THE EXCHANGE OFFER
The Exchange Offer is being made solely by this prospectus/offer to exchange and the
accompanying letter of election and transmittal and is being made to S1 stockholders. ACI and
Offeror are not aware of any jurisdiction where the making of the Exchange Offer or the tender of
S1 Shares in connection therewith would not be in compliance with the laws of such jurisdiction.
If ACI and Offeror become aware of any jurisdiction in which the making of the Exchange Offer or
the tender of S1 Shares in connection therewith would not be in compliance with applicable law, ACI
and Offeror will make a good faith effort to comply with any such law. If, after such good faith
effort, ACI and Offeror cannot comply with any such law, the Exchange Offer will not be made to
(nor will tenders be accepted from or on behalf of) the holders of S1 Shares in such jurisdiction.
In any jurisdiction where the
107
securities, blue sky or other laws require the Exchange Offer to be made by a licensed broker
or dealer, the Exchange Offer shall be deemed to be made on behalf of ACI, through Offeror, by the
dealer manager or by one or more registered brokers or dealers licensed under the laws of such
jurisdiction.
Unless otherwise specifically noted herein, all references to dollars and $ shall refer to
U.S. dollars.

YOU SHOULD RELY ONLY ON THE INFORMATION CONTAINED OR INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE IN THIS
PROSPECTUS/OFFER TO EXCHANGE IN MAKING YOUR DECISION WHETHER
TO TENDER YOUR S1 SHARES INTO THE EXCHANGE OFFER. ACI HAS NOT AUTHORIZED ANYONE TO PROVIDE
YOU WITH INFORMATION THAT DIFFERS FROM THAT CONTAINED IN THIS PROSPECTUS/OFFER TO EXCHANGE. THIS
PROSPECTUS/OFFER TO EXCHANGE IS DATED AUGUST 29, 2011. YOU SHOULD NOT ASSUME THAT THE INFORMATION
CONTAINED IN THIS PROSPECTUS/OFFER TO EXCHANGE IS ACCURATE AS OF ANY DATE OTHER THAN THAT DATE, AND
NEITHER THE MAILING OF THIS PROSPECTUS/OFFER TO EXCHANGE TO STOCKHOLDERS NOR THE ISSUANCE OF ACI

NOTE ON S1 INFORMATION
All information concerning S1, its business, management and operations presented or
incorporated by reference in this prospectus/offer to exchange is taken from publicly available
information. This information may be examined and copies may be obtained at the places and in the
manner set forth in the section of this prospectus/offer to exchange titled Where You Can Find
More Information. ACI is not affiliated with S1, and S1 has not permitted ACI to have access to
their books and records. Therefore, non-public information concerning S1 was not available to ACI
for the purpose of preparing this prospectus/offer to exchange. Although ACI has no knowledge that
would indicate that statements relating to S1 contained or incorporated by reference in this
prospectus/offer to exchange are inaccurate or incomplete, ACI was not involved in the preparation
of those statements and cannot verify them.
Pursuant to Rule 409 under the Securities Act and Rule 12b-21 under the Exchange Act, ACI has
requested that S1 provide ACI with information required for complete disclosure regarding the
businesses, operations, financial condition and management of S1. ACI will amend or supplement
this prospectus/offer to exchange to provide any and all information ACI receives from S1, if ACI
receives the information before the Expiration Time and ACI considers it to be material, reliable
and appropriate.
An auditors report was issued on S1s financial statements and included in S1s filings with
the SEC. Pursuant to Rule 436 under the Securities Act, ACI requires the consent of S1s
independent auditors to incorporate by reference their audit report to the S1 10-K into this
prospectus/offer to exchange. ACI has requested and has, as of the date of this prospectus/offer
to exchange, not received such consent from S1s independent auditors. We have requested
dispensation pursuant to Rule 437 under the Securities Act from this requirement. If ACI receives
this consent, ACI will promptly file it as an exhibit to ACIs registration statement of which this
prospectus/offer to exchange forms a part. Because ACI has not been able to obtain S1s auditors
consent, you may not be able to assert a claim against S1s independent auditors under Section 11
of the Securities Act for any untrue statements of a material fact contained in the financial
statements audited by S1s independent auditors or any omissions to state a material fact required
to be stated therein.

PART IIINFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS/OFFER TO EXCHANGE
Item 20. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the DGCL) permits
indemnification by a corporation of certain officers, directors, employees and agents. Consistent
therewith, Article Tenth of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the
registrant, ACI Worldwide, Inc. (ACI or the Registrant), provides that ACI shall, to the
fullest extent permitted or required by the DGCL, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended
(but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits ACI to
provide broader indemnification rights than such law permitted ACI to provide prior to such
amendment), indemnify a director or officer of ACI or a person who is or was serving at the request
of ACI as director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan, who
was or is made (or threatened to be made) a party to or is otherwise involved in a civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative action suit or proceeding (an indemnified person). Article Tenth
also provides that expenses incurred by an indemnified person will be paid in advance by ACI;
provided, however, that, if the DGCL requires, an advancement of expenses incurred by an
indemnified person in his or her capacity as a director or officer will be made only if ACI
receives an undertaking by or on behalf of the indemnified person to repay all amounts so advanced
if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further
right to appeal that such indemnified person is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses.
The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation also authorizes ACI to maintain officer and
director liability insurance, and such a policy is currently in effect.
ACI has entered into Indemnification Agreements with each of its executive officers and
certain other employees. Under the Indemnification Agreements, ACI agrees to indemnify the
employee to the fullest extent permitted by law if the employee was, is or becomes a party to or
witness or other participant in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, proceeding or
alternative dispute resolution mechanism, or any hearing, inquiry or investigation by reason of (or
arising in part out of) any event or occurrence related to the fact that the employee is or was a
director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of ACI, or any subsidiary of ACI, or is or was
serving at the request of ACI as a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or by reason of any action or
inaction on the part of the employee while serving in such capacity. ACI also agrees, to the
extent S1 maintains liability insurance applicable to directors, officers, employees, agents or
fiduciaries, the employee will be covered by such policies as to provide the employee the same
rights and benefits as are accorded to the most favorably similarly situated insured.
The above discussion of the DGCL and the Registrants Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation is not intended to be exhaustive and is qualified in its entirety by such statute and
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation.
Item 21. Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules.
(a) Exhibits.
See the Exhibit Index.
(b) Financial Statement Schedules.
None.
(c) Reports, Opinions and Appraisals.
None.
Item 22. Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
II-1
(a) (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus/offer to exchange required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus/offer to exchange any facts or events arising after the
effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment
thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the
low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of
prospectus/offer to exchange filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) promulgated under
the Securities Act if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more
than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the
Calculation of Registration Fee table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such
information in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such
post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities
being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of
the registrants annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange of
1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plans annual report pursuant to
Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration
statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
(c) (1) That prior to any public reoffering of the securities registered hereunder through
use of a prospectus which is a part of this registration statement, by any person or party who is
deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145(c), the issuer undertakes that such
reoffering prospectus will contain the information called for by the applicable registration form
with respect to reofferings by persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the
information called for by the other Items of the applicable form.
(2) That every prospectus (i) that is filed pursuant to paragraph (h)(1) immediately
preceding, or (ii) that purports to meet the requirements of section 10(a)(3) of the Act and is
used in connection with an offering of securities subject to Rule 415, will be filed as a part of
an amendment to the registration statement and will not be used until such amendment is effective,
and that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such
post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(d) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may
be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than
the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted
by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered,
the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by
controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
(e) To respond to requests for information that are incorporated by reference into the
prospectus/offer to exchange pursuant to Item 4, 10(b), 11, or 13 of this form, within one business
day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other
equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the
effective date of the Registration Statement through the date of responding to the request.
(f) To supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a
transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and
included in the Registration Statement when it became effective.
