HYPERCOM EMPLOYEE EMAIL
Dear Colleagues:
As you may have seen, today we announced that we have entered into a definitive agreement under
which Hypercom Corporation will become a part of VeriFone Systems, Inc. This announcement is a
direct result of VeriFone recognizing the value that has been built here at Hypercom. In
particular, VeriFone sees that Hypercoms business in complementary geographies is a great fit with
VeriFones existing business. For more information, the press release we issued is attached.
I want to congratulate you on the work and progress weve made during the time Ive been here. I
am very proud of having led this team during those years. Our annual revenue has grown from almost
$290 million to nearly $450 million and we gained significant market share in key regions.
We are very excited about this opportunity to create a preeminent provider of technology solutions
to the global payments market, and positioning the combined company for future growth in the
marketplace. There are many decisions to be made and questions to be answered in the coming months
as we focus on completing a successful integration. Our ability to answer questions about how the
combined company will operate is limited until the transaction closes, which is expected in the
second half of 2011. For you, our employees, during this time it will be business as usual.
You have our commitment that we will provide updates on the transaction whenever possible.
In the meantime, though, Hypercoms commitment to provide excellent products and services to
business partners and customers should continue to be all of our highest priority, and we are
confident that each of you will keep performing at the high level that our customers have come to
expect.
[Tomorrow at X:XX am/pm, we will be hosting an all-employee meeting at [LOCATION] to talk more
about this announcement. For employees outside of Phoenix, please call [CONFERENCE CALL NUMBER] to
participate in the meeting.]
Thank you for your continued hard work.
Sincerely,
Philippe
