GTCR Intends to Combine BankServ and Fundtech in New Acquisition Proposal

Combination to Create Global Leader in Banking and Payments Technology

BankServ, a leading provider of SaaS banking and payments systems, announced today that GTCR, a majority shareholder of BankServ, has submitted a proposal to acquire Fundtech Ltd. (Nasdaq:FNDT - News) for $23.33 per share in cash. The proposal has been determined by Fundtech's Board of Directors to constitute a superior offer under their previously announced merger agreement with S1 Corporation. GTCR intends to combine Fundtech and BankServ, creating a world-class leader in the global payments industry.

BankServ CEO David Kvederis said, "Fundtech's internationally recognized brand name and its dedication to a world-class product line will help us define the new standard for electronic payments systems. Joining forces with such a talented and well-regarded partner will let us deliver superior technology as well as a superior customer experience."

Together, BankServ and Fundtech offer a full line of complementary banking platforms, including systems for wire transfers, SWIFT messaging, remote deposit capture, cash management, international payments, mobile payments and merchant services. The combined company would be a global leader in payments and banking technology with a comprehensive suite of solutions serving the needs of financial institutions and corporations around the world.

"We see this merger as an opportunity to bolster both our product line and our standing in the global banking community through the outstanding synergies and growth opportunities it creates," Kvederis noted. "The combination creates a complete payments company with a truly global reach."

Subject to the receipt of Fundtech shareholder approval and satisfaction of other conditions, the deal is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2011. The combined company would be headquartered in Jersey City, NJ, and take the name Fundtech, Inc. Current Fundtech CEO Reuven Ben Menachem would become CEO of the new company. Kvederis would support the integration of BankServ and Fundtech and serve as a member of Fundtech Inc.'s board of directors.

The combined company will continue to deliver the best-in-class technology, innovative solutions and high quality service upon which BankServ and Fundtech customers have come to rely. Management and employees of both organizations will maintain their focus on the day-to-day service excellence and professional relationship their customers have come to expect.
