JACKSONVILLE, Fla., June 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Fidelity
National Information Services, Inc. (NYSE:FIS), a leading global
provider of technology services to financial institutions, today
announced that it has set the record date and distribution date for
the distribution of Lender Processing Services, Inc. (pending NYSE:
LPS) common stock to FIS shareholders. The distribution of LPS
common stock will be made on July 1, 2008 to FIS shareholders of
record as of June 24, 2008. Each FIS shareholder will receive
one-half share of LPS common stock for every share of FIS common
stock held as of the close of business on the record date noted
above. Shareholders will receive a cash payment in lieu of any
fractional shares. Because of the nature of the distribution of LPS
common stock, the New York Stock Exchange has determined that the
ex-distribution date will be July 2, 2008, the business day
following the distribution date for the common stock of LPS. FIS
shareholders of record on the June 24, 2008 record date who
subsequently sell their shares of FIS common stock through the July
1, 2008 distribution date will also be selling their rights to
receive the distribution of LPS common stock. Investors are
encouraged to consult their financial advisors regarding the
specific implications of the deferral of the ex-distribution date
and the selling of shares of FIS common stock through the
distribution date. As previously announced, the spin-off of LPS
will be tax-free to FIS, as well as to LPS and FIS shareholders.
FIS shareholders will recognize a gain or loss on the receipt of
any cash in lieu of fractional shares. Lender Processing Services,
Inc.'s common stock will trade on the NYSE under the symbol "LPS".
The common stock of Fidelity National Information Services, Inc.
will continue to trade on the NYSE under the symbol "FIS". A
registration statement relating to these securities has been filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") but has not yet
become effective. The distribution of LPS common stock to FIS
shareholders is conditioned upon the Registration Statement on Form
10 of LPS relating to the distribution being declared effective by
the SEC prior to June 23, 2008. If not declared effective by that
date, the dividend distribution will not be effective and it is
anticipated that the record date would be reset to a future date.
LPS expects the Registration Statement on Form 10 to be declared
effective by the SEC during the week beginning Monday, June 16,
2008. An information statement with details about the LPS spin-off
will be mailed to FIS shareholders. For additional information,
registered shareholders should contact FIS's transfer agent
Computershare Investor Services at 866-612-1841. Shareholders who
hold their shares through a broker, bank, or other nominee, should
contact their broker or bank directly. These securities may not be
sold nor may offers to buy be accepted prior to the time the
registration statement becomes effective. This press release shall
not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to
buy, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state
in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior
to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any
such state. About Fidelity National Information Services Fidelity
