The consents were sought to approve the proposed amendments to the indenture governing the Notes (the "Indenture") to allow the Company to satisfy its ongoing reporting obligations under the Indenture by providing certain reports of Vantiv, LLC (in such capacity, the "Ultimate Parent Guarantor"), which is an indirect parent holding company of Worldpay Group Limited or any Parent Holdco (as defined in the Indenture) company of the Ultimate Parent Guarantor, as long as the Ultimate Parent Guarantor provides a guarantee of the Notes on the terms set forth in the Consent Solicitation Statement. The amendments also permit reports and calculations under the Indenture to be made based on GAAP or IFRS and make other related or consequential changes to the Indenture, as further described in the Consent Solicitation Statement. The amendments further provide for a guarantee of the Notes by the Ultimate Parent Guarantor and make certain other consequential or related changes reflecting such guarantee.

In connection with the Solicitation and the foregoing amendments, the Company has executed a supplemental indenture to the Indenture.

Full details of the terms and conditions of the Solicitation are set out in the Consent Solicitation Statement, which holders of the Notes can obtain from Lucid Issuer Services Limited ("Lucid"), the Tabulation Agent and Information Agent for the solicitation. Requests for copies of the Consent Solicitation Statement should be directed to Lucid: +44 20 7704 0880; worldpay@lucid-is.com.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC has acted as the Solicitation Agent in connection with the Solicitation. Questions from holders of Notes should be directed to Morgan Stanley: +44 207 677 5040; liabilitymanagementeurope@morganstanley.com. 

Under no circumstances shall the solicitation constitute an offer to sell or issue or the solicitation of an offer to buy or subscribe for any Notes in any jurisdiction.

Pursuant to its obligations under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, a summary of the amended terms will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 8-K on July 16, 2018. A copy of the Company's Form 8-K will also be available on the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov.
