As previously disclosed, on August 4, 2011, SunGard Data Systems Inc., a Delaware corporation (“SunGard”), and SunGard Higher Education Inc., a Delaware corporation and formerly a wholly owned subsidiary of SunGard (“HE”), entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (as amended, the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with companies affiliated with Hellman & Friedman Capital Partners VI, L.P. Also on August 4, 2011, SunGard, affiliates of SunGard, and HE entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”) with affiliates of Hellman & Friedman, including Sophia, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Purchaser Parent”) and Datatel Parent Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Datatel”), an existing Hellman & Friedman portfolio company. The Asset Purchase Agreement and the Merger Agreement provided that SunGard would sell SunGard’s Higher Education business segment (excluding SunGard’s K-12 education business) (the “Higher Education Businesses”) to affiliates of Hellman & Friedman for an aggregate purchase price of $1.775 billion, subject to certain adjustments.

On January 19 and January 20, 2012, Purchaser Parent and its subsidiaries acquired HE and the Higher Education Businesses pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Asset Purchase Agreement and the Merger Agreement. As a result of the completion of these transactions, each of HE and Datatel are wholly owned by Purchaser Parent.

SunGard used net cash proceeds (as defined in SunGard’s senior secured credit agreement), which were approximately $1.222 billion after applicable taxes, transaction fees, expenses and other adjustments, to repay a portion of its senior secured credit facility term loans on a pro-rata basis.

The foregoing descriptions of the Merger Agreement and the Asset Purchase Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement and the Asset Purchase Agreement, as applicable, which were filed as Exhibits 2.1 and 2.2, respectively, to SunGard’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed on August 10, 2011, and are incorporated herein by reference.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information of SunGard for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010, and as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, giving effect to the transactions is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
