Summary
Certegy Inc. (formerly FIS, as indicated by the context of the filing date and the nature of 8-K filings often detailing corporate events), reported on September 10, 2003, the successful completion of a $200 million aggregate principal amount offering of unsecured 4.75% notes due 2008. These notes were issued through a private placement and are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, meaning they are subject to restrictions on resale within the United States. This debt issuance provides Certegy with additional capital, likely intended for general corporate purposes, strategic initiatives, or to refinance existing debt. The pricing of the notes to yield 4.82% indicates the market's perception of Certegy's creditworthiness at that time. Investors should note that this filing is primarily an "Other Events" disclosure and does not include financial statements or pro forma information, focusing solely on the debt offering announcement.
