On March 14, 2012, SS&C Technologies Holdings Europe S.A.R.L. (“SS&C Sarl”), a Luxembourg société à responsabilité limitée and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of SS&C Technologies Holdings, Inc. (“SS&C”), entered into a cooperation agreement (the “Cooperation Agreement”) with GlobeOp Financial Services S.A. (“GlobeOp”), a Luxembourg sociéte anonyme. Pursuant to the Cooperation Agreement, SS&C Sarl announced pursuant to Rule 2.7 of the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers the terms of a recommended cash offer under which SS&C, acting through SS&C Sarl, would acquire the entire issued and to be issued share capital of GlobeOp for 485 pence per share (the “Offer”). The full terms of, and conditions to, the Offer are set forth in the offer document issued by SS&C Sarl on March 26, 2012 (the “Offer Document”).

On May 31, 2012, SS&C issued a press release relating to the Offer announcing that as of May 30, 2012, SS&C Sarl had received valid acceptances of the Offer in respect of 82,863,536 GlobeOp shares, representing approximately 76.9 percent of the existing issued share capital of GlobeOp. SS&C also announced that all conditions relating to the Offer had been satisfied or waived, and the Offer was unconditional in all respects. In addition, SS&C announced that the Offer will remain open until further notice and at least 14 days’ notice will be given prior to the closing of the Offer.

Settlement of the Offer will, in the case of acceptances received on or prior to May 31, 2012, occur on or before June 14, 2012. With respect to acceptances received after May 31, 2012 but while the Offer remains open for acceptance, settlement will occur within 14 days of receipt.

SS&C intends to fund the settlement of the Offer with a combination of SS&C’s existing cash resources and debt financing.
