Previous wording

On August 6, 2024, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with an affiliate of The Veritas Capital Fund VIII, L.P. (the “Buyer”) pursuant to which the Buyer agreed to purchase the Company’s Digital Banking segment businesses (the “Digital Banking Sale”). The Digital Banking Sale is expected to close by the end of fiscal year 2024, subject to receipt of necessary regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. We may not be able to achieve the full strategic, financial, operational, and other benefits that are expected to result from the Digital Banking Sale, including any expected optimization of operations, cost savings, and other business opportunities that may be facilitated by the Digital Banking Sale. In addition, such benefits may be delayed or less significant than anticipated. We cannot predict with certainty when the benefits expected from the Digital Banking Sale will occur or the extent to which they will be achieved, or when they will be achieved, if at all. A failure to realize these and other anticipated benefits of the Digital Banking Sale or effectively utilize the proceeds from the Digital Banking Sale could have an adverse impact our business, financial condition and results of operations. See also “Item 1A. Risk Factors—Our acquisitions, divestitures and other strategic transactions may not produce anticipated results, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations” in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Previous wording

We may not realize the anticipated cost savings or other benefits related to the transition of our Hardware Business to an outsourced design and manufacturing (ODM) model.

Current wording

We may not realize the anticipated cost savings or other benefits related to the transition of our Hardware Business to an outsourced design and manufacturing (ODM) model on a timely basis or at all.

Previous wording

On August 6, 2024, we announced our entry into a commercial agreement with Ennoconn Corp. (“Ennoconn”) to transition our point-of-sale and self-checkout hardware businesses to an outsourced design and manufacturing model (the “Hardware Business Transition”). The Hardware Business Transition is expected to be implemented starting in the first quarter of 2025. The Company anticipates that, once the Hardware Business Transition is implemented, it will record revenue from point-of-sale and self-checkout hardware sales on a net basis, excluding the costs paid to Ennoconn. Prior to the implementation of the Hardware Business Transition, the substantial majority of the revenues from our hardware business are attributable to point-of-sale and self-checkout hardware. Under our new business model following the Hardware Business Transition, a substantial majority of the revenue related to the sale of hardware will no longer be recognized by the Company, and will instead be recognized by the hardware provider. This will result in a substantial decrease to our hardware-related revenues and could have an adverse impact on our business and results of operations.

While the Company and its counterparty are targeting January 1, 2025 to implement the Hardware Business Transition and the new hardware revenue model, this date is dependent upon various factors, including the migration of aspects of our international hardware business to Ennoconn that are not yet complete. As a result, there can be no guaranty that the Hardware Business Transition will be implemented successfully or within the anticipated timeline.
