Holders must make their own decisions as to whether to tender Notes, and, if so, the principal amount of the applicable series of Notes to tender.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This press release includes certain disclosures which contain “forward-looking statements.”  You can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as “believes” and “expects.”  Forward-looking statements are based on First Data’s current expectations and assumptions.  Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements, which are neither statements of historical fact nor guarantees or assurances of future performance. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements are set forth in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2015 under the caption “Risk Factors.”
