TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - March 30, 2015) -

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

DH Corporation ("D+H") (TSX:DH) today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Fundtech, a leading provider of global payments solutions to banks worldwide, for cash consideration of US$1.25 billion (the "Acquisition").

"The complexity of today's global payments infrastructure, proliferation of channels, and an increasing desire for real-time payments is driving demand for payment solutions that allow banks to streamline payment processing while providing a more sophisticated and comprehensive view of liquidity management across various currencies and geographies," said D+H chief executive officer Gerrard Schmid. "The acquisition of Fundtech puts D+H at the forefront of these trends globally, providing us with a market-leading software platform with established scale in mission-critical payment technology. It also delivers capabilities that are relevant to our existing customer base in Canada and the U.S. while making D+H more relevant to global financial institutions and large U.S. banks."

Overview of Fundtech

Headquartered in New York City, Fundtech is a leading provider of financial technology to banks and corporations of all sizes in the Americas, EMEA, and APAC regions with approximately 1,500 employees and 19 offices worldwide, including development centers in the United States, India, Israel, Switzerland and the UK. Fundtech's solutions are mission-critical to the day-to-day operations of banks and corporate clients. Fundtech offers a comprehensive line of transaction banking solutions including global and domestic payments solutions, financial messaging, corporate cash and liquidity management and merchant services. Fundtech has approximately 1,200 clients, including global money center banks, mid-sized banks and credit unions, non-bank financial institutions, central banks and corporates. Fundtech was founded in 1993 and acquired by Chicago-based private equity firm GTCR in 2011. Fundtech's 2014 Adjusted revenue was US$263 million⁽¹⁾ ($291 million) and Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ was US$68 million ($75 million), representing growth of 9% and 15% over 2013, respectively.

"I'm very proud of the company and culture that we have built and believe that D+H's client-centric approach and FinTech expertise represent a great strategic fit for us," said Reuven Ben Menachem, founder and chief executive officer of Fundtech. "Fundtech joining D+H will create new opportunities for our employees and clients alike."

Financially, the combination of D+H and Fundtech would result in:

• Pro forma 2014 Adjusted revenues⁽¹⁾ of approximately $1.45 billion⁽²⁾;
• Pro forma 2014 Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ of $428 million⁽²⁾ with 30% Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ margin, and Adjusted net income⁽¹⁾ of $216 million⁽²⁾;
• Attractive medium-term synergies through cross-selling opportunities and cost savings; and
• Strong combined cash flow that will enable deleveraging, support dividend payments, and fund investment for future growth. D+H is targeting a Debt to EBITDA ratio⁽¹⁾ of less than 2.5x by the end of 2016.

Market Opportunity

D+H's management believes that the estimated annual IT spend by banks for all of the markets in which Fundtech participates is approximately US$5 to US$6 billion. The market opportunity for global payments technologies is among the most attractive in the FinTech industry today. Market penetration of these solutions is still in the early stages which creates significant opportunities for companies like a combined Fundtech and D+H that have the scale, proven technology solutions, strong banking domain knowledge and trusted client relationships to compete in this market.

"We have made significant investments in our platforms over the last several years to build competitive, best-of-breed solutions, and we have seen great momentum as a result. We wrapped up a record sales year in 2014, and our customers have been extremely positive about Fundtech's solutions and the value they bring to their business," added Ed Ho, president and chief operating officer of Fundtech. "Given the complementary nature of our solutions, there is an opportunity for Fundtech to leverage D+H's established client base to continue to drive growth. We look forward to joining D+H and to growing our business together."

"We're very excited about Fundtech and believe that this transaction will allow D+H to further strengthen our value proposition with relevant technology solutions that appeal to our existing clients and provide us with access to new markets and geographies," concluded Schmid. "With a combined base of about 8,000 clients worldwide, D+H and Fundtech will have global scale, a comprehensive portfolio of innovative technology solutions and capabilities to continue to execute on D+H's transformation as a global FinTech player."

Acquisition Timing

Closing of the Acquisition is subject to approval under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 in the U.S. and other customary conditions and is expected to occur during the second quarter of fiscal 2015.

Acquisition Financing

In conjunction with the Acquisition, D+H has entered into an agreement with a syndicate of underwriters (the "Underwriters"), co-led by CIBC, RBC Capital Markets and Scotiabank (the "Lead Underwriters"), pursuant to which they have agreed to purchase, on a bought deal basis, from D+H and sell to the public (the "Offering") (i) 16,500,000 subscription receipts (the "Subscription Receipts"), at a price of $37.95 per subscription receipt, for gross proceeds to D+H of $626,175,000, and (ii) $200,000,000 of 5.0% extendible convertible unsecured subordinated debentures (the "Debentures", and together with the Subscription Receipts, the "Securities"), for aggregate gross proceeds to D+H of $826,175,000. The net proceeds of the Offering will be used by D+H to fund a portion of the purchase price for the Acquisition.

D+H has granted the Underwriters over-allotment options to purchase up to an additional 2,475,000 Subscription Receipts and up to an additional $30,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Debentures (collectively, the "Over-Allotment Options"), on the same terms and conditions as the Offering, exercisable in whole or in part at any time not later than the earlier of (i) the 30th day following the closing date of the Offering, and (ii) the occurrence of a Termination Event.⁽³⁾ If the Over-Allotment Options are exercised in full, D+H will receive further proceeds from the Offering of $123,926,250, for aggregate gross proceeds from the Offering of $950,101,250.

Each Subscription Receipt represents the right of the holder to receive, upon closing of the Acquisition, without payment of additional consideration or further action, one common share of D+H plus an amount equal to the amount per common share of D+H of any dividends for which record dates have occurred during the period from the closing date of the Offering to the date immediately preceding the closing date of the Acquisition, net of any applicable withholding taxes, if any.

The Debentures will have an initial maturity date of the Termination Date,⁽³⁾ which will be automatically extended to September 30, 2020 upon closing of the Acquisition. The Debentures will have an interest rate of 5.0% per annum payable semi-annually in arrears on the last day of June and December in each year commencing June 30, 2015. Each $1,000 principal amount of Debentures is convertible at the option of the holder into approximately 18.9573 common shares of D+H (representing a conversion price of $52.75), subject to adjustment in accordance with the trust indenture governing the Debentures, at any time prior to the close of business on the earlier of the business day immediately preceding the maturity date and the business day immediately preceding the date fixed for redemption of the Debentures.

The Offering is being made under D+H's short form base shelf prospectus dated December 19, 2014 and the terms of the Offering will be more fully described in a prospectus supplement to be filed on or about April 1, 2015 with the securities commissions or similar authorities in each of the provinces and territories of Canada. The Offering is expected to close on or about April 9, 2015 and is subject to certain conditions, including, but not limited to, the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange. Canadian resident purchasers that receive common shares (i) in exchange for Subscription Receipts upon closing of the Acquisition, or (ii) upon conversion of Debentures following closing of the Acquisition, should in each case be entitled to participate in D+H's Dividend Reinvestment Plan.

The Securities to be offered pursuant to the Offering have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act") and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the Securities in the United States or any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

Concurrently with the announcement of the Acquisition, D+H obtained a commitment letter from The Bank of Nova Scotia, Royal Bank of Canada and Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (the "Credit Facility Underwriters") for secured credit facilities in an aggregate amount of $1.858 billion and US$592.62 million (collectively, the "Credit Facilities"), $550 million and US$267.62 million or the Canadian dollar equivalent which, in aggregate, replace D+H's existing (i) revolving credit facility, and (ii) non-revolving term credit facility, respectively. The Credit Facility Underwriters, in their capacity as co-lead arrangers of the Credit Facilities, intend to syndicate the Credit Facilities to other financial institutions prior to the Acquisition closing. The Credit Facilities are subject to completion of definitive documentation which shall contain customary representations and warranties and restrictive covenants, including compliance with certain financial ratios, a Total Net Funded Debt to EBITDA ratio for covenant calculation purposes and an interest coverage ratio, and restrictions on further borrowing, acquisitions and dispositions, restrictions on granting liens and other restrictions.

The Credit Facilities are comprised of different components: (i) a non-revolving, non-amortizing term credit facility in the amount of US$245 million or the Canadian dollar equivalent ("Acquisition Term Facility") to be available in a single drawdown, for the purpose of financing a portion of the purchase price; (ii) a non-revolving, non-amortizing term credit facility in the amount of $503 million or the U.S. dollar equivalent ("Debt Refinancing Facility") to be available in a single drawdown, for the purpose of refinancing D+H's existing notes should D+H choose to prepay the outstanding principal amount of such notes; (iii) a non-revolving, non-amortizing term credit facility in the amount of US$80 million or the Canadian dollar equivalent ("Additional Notes Term Facility") to be available in a single drawdown, for the purpose of financing a portion of the purchase price; (iv) a non-revolving, non-amortizing term credit facility in the amount of $805 million ("Equity Bridge Facility") to be available in a single drawdown, for the purpose of financing a portion of the purchase price; and (v) a $550 million revolving, non-amortizing term credit facility, which will (a) replace D+H's existing $450 million revolving credit facility, (b) finance, in part, the Acquisition and (c) otherwise be used for general working capital purposes.

D+H intends to issue approximately US$80 million or the Canadian dollar equivalent of senior secured guaranteed notes (the "Additional Notes") to certain institutional investors (including to some of its current notes holders) following the closing of the Acquisition. Following the issuance of such Additional Notes, the proceeds therefrom will be used by D+H to repay the drawdown on the Additional Notes Term Facility.

Credit Suisse acted as D+H's financial advisor on the transaction.

Non-IFRS and Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures

This news release makes reference to certain non-IFRS financial measures, in the case of D+H, or non-U.S. GAAP financial measures, in the case of Fundtech. These non-IFRS and non-U.S. GAAP financial measures are not recognized measures under IFRS and U.S. GAAP, as applicable, do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS or U.S. GAAP, as applicable, and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other publicly traded companies, and should not be construed as an alternative to other financial measures determined in accordance with IFRS and U.S. GAAP, as applicable. Rather, these financial measures are provided as additional information to complement IFRS and U.S. GAAP financial measures by providing further understanding of operations from management's perspective. Accordingly, non-IFRS and non-U.S. GAAP financial measures should never be considered in isolation nor as a substitute to using net income as a measure of profitability or as an alternative to the IFRS consolidated statements of income or other IFRS or U.S. GAAP statements. Management presents non-IFRS and non-U.S. GAAP financial measures, specifically Adjusted revenues, EBITDA, EBITDA margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per share, free cash flow and Debt to EBITDA Ratio as it believes these supplementary disclosures provide useful additional information related to the operating results of D+H and uses these measures of financial performance as a supplement to the consolidated statements of income of D+H and Fundtech.

The definitions of the non-IFRS and non-U.S. GAAP measures contained in this news release are as follows: (i) "Adjusted revenues" is used as a measure of performance which eliminates the impact of applying acquisition accounting on the acquisitions of HFS and Fundtech. Adjusted revenues are also used in calculating Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin. Upon acquisition, the acquired deferred revenues balances were adjusted to reflect the fair value based on estimated costs of future delivery of the related services. These fair value adjustments to deferred revenues, recorded as of the acquisition date in accordance with the business combination accounting standard, reduce revenues recognized post-acquisition under IFRS. Adjusted revenues exclude these acquisition accounting effects. Management believes that Adjusted revenues facilitates meaningful comparisons of pre-acquisition and post-acquisition revenues; (ii) "EBITDA" is defined as income from continuing operations excluding interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, other non-cash finance charges and fair value adjustments of interest-rate swaps which are directly related to interest expense, income from investment in an associate, gain on re-measurement of the previously-held equity interest in the Compushare, Inc. investment, and gain on sale of assets. EBITDA is also described as income from operating activities before depreciation and amortization in DH Corporation's consolidated statements of income; (iii) "EBITDA margin" is calculated as EBITDA divided by revenues; (iv) "Adjusted EBITDA" excludes: (a) acquisition-related expenses such as transaction costs, business integration costs and certain retention and incentive costs incurred in connection with acquisitions; (b) charges such as corporate development costs related to strategic acquisition initiatives; (c) with respect to Fundtech only, costs incurred in connection with cost-realignment initiatives; (d) costs incurred in connection with implementing an enterprise resource planning platform and (e) with respect to Fundtech only, fair value adjustments of derivative instruments and certain foreign exchange gains and losses, all of which are not considered to be part of the normal course of operations. Adjusted EBITDA also excludes effects of acquisition accounting on the fair value of deferred revenues and deferred costs acquired from the acquisitions of HFS and Fundtech; (v) "Adjusted EBITDA margin" is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by Adjusted revenues; (vi) "Adjusted net income" is used as a measure of internal performance similar to net income, and is calculated by adjusting for the impacts of certain non-cash items and certain items of note on an after-tax basis.

These adjustments include after-tax impacts of: the effects of acquisition accounting on fair value of deferred revenues and deferred costs acquired from the HFS and Fundtech acquisitions; acquisition-related and other charges; gains and losses on sales resulting from sale of non-strategic assets; expenses associated with cost-realignment initiatives; discontinued operations; all of which are not considered to be part of the normal course of operations; and, certain non-cash items such as amortization of intangible assets from acquisitions, gain on re-measurement of the previously-held equity interest in Compushare, Inc., non-cash finance charges such as deferred financing fees associated with D+H's previous credit facilities written off upon the refinancing in connection with acquisitions, amortization of other deferred financing charges, accretion of convertible debentures, fair value adjustments of interest-rate swaps, certain foreign exchange gains and losses, and tax effects of these items and tax effects of acquisitions; (vii) "Adjusted net income per share" is calculated by dividing Adjusted net income for the period by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. (viii) "free cash flow" is calculated using cash generated from operating activities, less cash paid for interest, income taxes, capital expenditures and dividends; and (ix) "Debt to EBITDA Ratio": prior to December 2, 2014, the Corporation was required to comply with Total Funded Debt to EBITDA ratio for covenant purposes. Effective December 2, 2014, the Corporation's previous credit facility was amended and pursuant to the terms of the existing credit facility, the Corporation is required to comply with Total Net Funded Debt to EBITDA ratio. Collectively these two ratios are referred to as "Debt to EBITDA ratio". Total Net Funded Debt, effective December 2, 2014, includes all of the Corporation's outstanding indebtedness, amounts capitalized under finance leases, bankers' acceptances and letters of credit and is net of cash, in North American bank accounts, up to a maximum aggregate amount of $40 million. Convertible debentures are excluded from the Net Debt. Total Funded Debt, applicable prior to December 2, 2014, was calculated similar to above, except that cash was not netted. EBITDA, for the purposes of both ratios noted above, is calculated on a twelve-month trailing basis as net income plus: interest expense, depreciation and amortization, income taxes and capital tax expenses, other non-cash expenses and certain restructuring and transaction expenses, to the extent expensed in the consolidated statements of income. Other add-backs to net income include certain deferred revenue changes and impacts of acquisition accounting adjustments to revenues with respect to the HFS acquisition.

⁶ The foreign exchange gain is a result of a debt repayment from net proceeds of the December 2, 2014 common share issuance. Prior to this repayment, any FX gain or loss on D+H's outstanding USD-denominated debt would be fully offset with FX on the Corporation's USD denominated intercompany receivable. This receivable is with a foreign subsidiary which is considered a foreign operation and thus FX upon translation of this foreign subsidiary's net assets is recorded in other comprehensive income. The debt repayment in December 2014 reduced the Corporation's outstanding USD-denominated debt, without a corresponding offset to the intercompany balances. Translation of these outstanding balances at the reporting date results in a non-cash FX.

⁷ Represents a non-cash write off of unamortized deferred debt issuance costs related to, as applicable, the Corporation's or Fundtech's credit facilities.

⁸ Adjustment relates to a non-cash tax recovery related to liabilities recognized in connection with a prior acquisition.
