Fiserv ISS Litigation Settlement

In February 2007, a class was certified by the United States District Court for the Central District of California in a lawsuit that was filed in 2005 against the Company. The suit alleged that the Company, which serves as a custodian and administrator of investment accounts, knew or should have known that third parties were perpetrating an alleged Ponzi scheme and that it breached its contractual and common law duties and aided and abetted the scheme by not advising the plaintiffs to avoid investing in the alleged scheme. The lawsuit was brought on behalf of a class of investors who maintained self-directed individual retirement accounts administered by the Company and others who invested in the alleged scheme, including investors that were never customers of the Company, and sought compensatory damages of $120 million and punitive damages. In January 2008, a settlement, which is pending final court approval, was reached for an amount that was not material to the Company’s results of operations or financial position.
