ACI Believes that the Fundtech Transaction Denies S1 the Ability To Maximize Shareholder Value In ACI’s view, S1 is effectively selling the company to Fundtech and paying (instead of receiving) a premium S1 is paying a ~16% premium to Fundtech’s 90-day unaffected VWAP 1 prior to the transaction announcement S1 is surrendering significant control Treatment of the merger as a “change of control” under compensation agreements for S1 management The governance of S1 will change, with Fundtech’s CEO serving as Executive Chairman, and Fundtech’s current Chairman serving as Deputy Chairman of the combined company The combined company will have senior leadership located in Atlanta and Israel S1’s Board would not constitute a majority of the combined Board, as each company will provide four directors Clal, a closely held investment firm managed by a few individuals and Fundtech’s single largest shareholder, will own approximately 24% of the combined company, may exert considerable influence, and was exempted by the S1 Board from shareholder protections under Delaware law and will have no restrictions on a creeping takeover All material transactions will require the approval of the majority of the Board of the combined company on which the Fundtech directors will have a blocking vote S1’s value claims are unsubstantiated and appear overstated 2 S1’s claim is based on an 11x trailing EBITDA multiple despite that its own financial advisor used an 8-10x trailing EBITDA multiple in its fairness analysis included in S1’s proxy statement S1’s claim was not on a present value basis, failing to account for the 11-15% discount rate used in the fairness analysis S1 and Fundtech have only recently disclosed an additional $8 million in incremental EBITDA from purported revenue synergies, but have not provided any details to support this purported benefit S1 Shareholders Should Ask Themselves Why S1 is Paying a Premium to Fundtech and Giving Control to Fundtech? 1) ased on Fundtech’s closing trading price on June 13, 2011 2) ource: S1’s August 22, 2011 letter to shareholders 13 September 2011

Third-Party Support for ACI / S1 Transaction “We suspect SONE’s board will have a hard time justifying turning down a 33% immediate premium, given that the alternative SONE/Fundtech ‘merger of equals’ may take several years to blossom.” — DA Davidson, July 26, 2011)* “In addition, we are encouraged by [ACI’s] proposed acquisition of S1, which, before synergies, could provide incremental and accretive cross-sell opportunities in the retail and small financial institution verticals.” — (Raymond James, July 26, 2011)* “We think the near term and more certain nature of ACIW’s offer is more compelling [than the proposed SONE merger with FNDT] .... we think the cross sales would be compelling, for example we think ACIW’s international customers would be interested in SONE’s highly-regarded international cash management system.” — Stephens, July 27, 2011)* “The assumed 11.0x multiple is high. Fundtech is currently trading at 6.2x next 12 months consensus EBITDA, S1 at 12.1x, and ACI Worldwide at 7.4x. By S1’s own admission, their current stock price is over-valued and ACI and Fundtech is undervalued. We believe an 8.0x multiple is more realistic .... Based on our adjustments, a combined S1/FNDT is worth $8.50 per share .... Recommending S1 shareholders apply an 11.0x multiple in valuing the proposed merger with Fundtech while assuming ACIW is worth only 7.4x is disingenuous. If 11.0x is the right multiple, SONE shareholder[s] are better off taking the $9.50 per share from ACIW.” — Janney Capital Markets, August 23, 2011)* * Permission to use quotations was neither sought nor obtained Note: Emphasis added 14 September 2011

Corporate Governance Considerations fter lengthy precursor conversations with ACI, S1 sought an alternative transaction that would maintain management job security fter ACI’s July 26, 2011 proposal, S1 rushed its shareholder meeting calendar in a fashion that ACI believes disenfranchises 1 shareholders et August 18, 2011 record date on August 11, 2011, which ACI believes breached SEC Rule 14a-13 (which requires broker search cards 20 business days prior to record date) et close-in meeting date (September 22, 2011), which ACI believes was to rush S1 shareholder decision even though S1 has publicly stated it does not believe it could close the Fundtech transaction until Q4 2011 ailed to require S1 CEO and other top managers, even those directly involved in championing the Fundtech transaction, to aive golden parachute trigger, despite the fact that S1 describes the Fundtech transaction as an “acquisition” Essentially abrogates the SEC’s required say-on-parachute advisory vote ailed to protect against creeping takeover by new ~24% shareholder 15 September 2011

Corporate Governance Considerations (Cont’d) Failed to include forecasts in proxy solicitation materials, which is being challenged in shareholder litigation as inconsistent with Delaware case law August 22, 2011 shareholder letter predicts a higher value using financial analyses far more aggressive than S1’s own financial advisor in an analysis characterized as “disingenuous” by Janney Capital Markets 1, and without: Disclosing financial forecasts Explaining purported synergies, including $8 million in EBITDA from purported (and undisclosed) revenue synergies Adequately explaining purported cost synergies Explaining rationale for 11.0x trailing EBITDA multiple despite S1’s financial advisor using a range of 8.0-10.0x in its fairness analysis Calculating the per share price on a net present value basis Including sensitivities based on the historical multiples and growth rates of S1 or Fundtech 1) Permission to use quotations was neither sought nor obtained 16 September 2011

Non-GAAP Financial Measures Estimates of future financial results are inherently unreliable. Our backlog estimates require substantial judgment and are based on a number of assumptions as described above. These assumptions may turn out to be inaccurate or wrong, including for reasons outside of management’s control. For example, our customers may attempt to renegotiate or terminate their contracts for a number of reasons, including mergers, changes in their financial condition, or general changes in economic conditions in the customer’s industry or geographic location, or we may experience delays in the development or delivery of products or services specified in customer contracts which may cause the actual renewal rates and amounts to differ from historical experiences. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates may also impact the amount of revenue actually recognized in future periods. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that contracts included in backlog estimates will actually generate the specified revenues or that the actual revenues will be generated within the corresponding 60-month period. Backlog should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, reported revenue and deferred revenue. ACI also includes Adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as operating income (loss) plus depreciation and amortization and non-cash compensation. Adjusted EBITDA is considered a non-GAAP financial measure as defined by SEC Regulation G. Adjusted EBITDA should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, operating income (loss).
