law firm Johnson Fistel, LLP has launched an investigation into
whether the board members of Worldpay, Inc. (NYSE: WP)
("Worldpay") breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the
proposed sale of the Company to Fidelity National Information
Services, Inc. (NYSE: FIS) ("Fidelity").

Fidelity. Worldpay shareholders will be entitled to receive 0.9287
Fidelity shares and $11.00 in cash
for each share of Worldpay, valuing the company at $112.12 per share based on Fidelity's stocks'
Friday closing. However, shareholders will be subject to the future
price fluctuation of Fidelity's stock price.,

satisfy its duties to the Company shareholders, including whether
the board adequately pursued alternatives to the acquisition and
whether the board obtained the best price possible for Worldpay
shares of common stock. Nationally recognized Johnson Fistel is investigating whether the
proposed deal represents adequate consideration, especially given
analysts' projections for future earnings and revenue growth, also
