This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 is being filed to file an updated
Exhibit 3.1, Exhibit 4.1 and Exhibit 23.1 to the Registration Statements (as
defined in Part II below). The updated Exhibit 4.1 reflects an amendment to the
Transaction Systems Architects, Inc. 1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the
"Plan") adopted by the Registrant's Board of Directors to eliminate the
"look-back" provisions formerly found in Sections 7.02 and 7.03 of the Plan.
Prior to the above-referenced amendment, the Plan's "look-back" provisions
provided, in effect, that the purchase price paid by participants for the
Registrant's common stock was 85% of the lower of the common stock's fair market
value on either (1) the first business day of the Participation Period (as
defined in the Plan) or (2) the last business day of the Participation Period.
As amended (i.e., in the absence of the "look-back" provisions), the Plan
provides that the purchase price paid by participants for the Registrant's
common stock, effective with respect to the Participation Period beginning May
1, 2005 and those thereafter, will be 85% of the common stock's fair market
value on the last business day of a Participation Period.
This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statements shall
become effective upon filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission
pursuant to Rule 464 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
