Fundtech Announces a Superior Offer From GTCR

Fundtech Ltd. (Nasdaq:FNDT) today announced that its board of directors has determined that a binding offer it has received from GTCR Fund X/A LP and its affiliated entities, which contemplates the acquisition of all of Fundtech's outstanding ordinary shares at $23.33 per share in cash, constitutes a "Company Superior Offer" under Fundtech's previously announced merger agreement with S1 Corporation. Fundtech has notified S1 of Fundtech's board of directors' intention to change its recommendation with respect to the pending transaction with S1, to terminate the merger agreement with S1 and to enter into a written definitive agreement with entities formed by GTCR subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the merger agreement with S1, including the expiration of the five business day period contemplated by the merger agreement to the extent applicable.

Under the terms of GTCR's binding offer, an entity formed by GTCR would merge with Fundtech under the laws of the State of Israel, and as a result of the merger all outstanding ordinary shares of Fundtech would be converted into the right to receive $23.33 per share in cash. GTCR has also agreed to pay the $11.9 million termination fee that may become payable to S1 in certain circumstances. The completion of the merger contemplated by the merger agreement with GTCR, if entered into, would be subject to closing conditions, including the approval by Fundtech shareholders, the receipt of antitrust approvals, the receipt of an acceptable ruling regarding Israeli tax withholdings and the receipt of a solvency opinion. GTCR has obtained commitments for the debt and equity financing required to complete the transaction. As a condition to GTCR's offer, in connection with the execution and delivery of the merger agreement with GTCR, GTCR would enter into a voting agreement with Clal Industries and Investments Ltd., which currently owns approximately 58% of the outstanding ordinary shares of Fundtech, pursuant to which Clal would be required, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, to vote in favor of the transaction with GTCR. GTCR's binding offer to Fundtech is irrevocable until 12:00 noon (New York City time) on September 23, 2011.

The board of directors of Fundtech has considered GTCR's binding offer, and following consultation with outside legal counsel and a financing advisor, determined that GTCR's binding offer constitutes a "Company Superior Offer" under Fundtech's previously announced merger agreement with S1 and that failure to change its recommendation to Fundtech's shareholders and terminate the merger agreement with S1 to enter into the merger agreement with the entities formed by GTCR would be reasonably likely to result in a breach of its fiduciary duties under applicable law.

Under the existing merger agreement with S1, Fundtech is obligated to negotiate in good faith with S1 and its representatives, if requested by S1, during such five business day period regarding any adjustments or modifications proposed by S1 to the terms of the merger agreement with S1. Fundtech's board of directors may then only change its recommendation and terminate the merger agreement with S1 after it again makes the determination after consultation with outside legal counsel and a financial advisor that GTCR's offer continues to be a "Company Superior Offer" (taking into account any adjustments or modifications proposed by S1) and, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to take action would be reasonably likely to result in a breach of its fiduciary duties under applicable law.

At this time, as required by the merger agreement with S1, Fundtech's board of directors has not changed its recommendation with respect to the pending transaction with S1 and Fundtech's board of directors is not making any recommendation at this time with respect to the GTCR binding offer, and there can be no assurance that Fundtech's board of directors will approve any such transaction or that a transaction will result.

Citi has acted as financial advisor to Fundtech and Kirkland & Ellis LLP, Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel LLP and Meitar Liquornik Geva & Leshem Brandwein have provided legal counsel.
