Frequently Asked Questions

The main purpose of this 8-K filing is to formally announce and provide access to Corpay's (then FleetCor Technologies, Inc.) financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2011, through an accompanying press release.

The detailed financial results are located in the press release dated February 8, 2012, which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K filing and incorporated by reference.

No, the information in Item 2.02 of this 8-K, including the press release, is being furnished and not filed. This means it is not subject to the same level of SEC review as information that is formally filed, such as in a registration statement, unless specifically incorporated by reference into one.

When information is 'incorporated by reference,' it means that the company is legally treating the attached document (the press release in this case) as if it were physically included within the 8-K filing itself. However, for furnishing purposes, it typically means the information is not subject to the liabilities of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, unless it's later specifically incorporated into a registration statement.
