  support of card management systems to the banking and financial services industry of the CTL Group (comprised of Card Tech Limited ("CTL"),
  Card Tech Research Limited ("CTRL"), CTL Card Tech Services Limited (Cyprus) ("CTSL") and Card Tech Services (Malaysia) SDN BHD
  ("CTML") (collectively, the "CTL Business")).
   A copy of TSYS' press release announcing the Acquisitions is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
  The aggregate consideration paid by TSYS for the CTL Business was $54.5 million in cash, subject to adjustment for working capital
  and an increase of $3.17 million for post closing tax adjustments.  An aggregate of $8.0 million will be held in escrow to
  satisfy any post-closing claims or purchase price adjustments.  In connection with the Acquisitions, CTL-R LTD (Russia) agreed to
  continue to provide certain services to CTSL.  Aggregate fees under this agreement are approximately $2.0 million annually, payable monthly in arrears subject

In addition, provided each remains in the employ of TSYS Card Tech Group through the end of December 2008, Jaffar and Bashar and certain other members of management will be eligible to receive retention bonuses which in the aggregate equal $2.1 million.  Jaffar and Bashar and certain other members of management nominated by Jaffar are also eligible to receive performance bonuses based on target net income (before taxes) of the TSYS Card Tech Group for the twelve month period ending December 31, 2008.  The aggregate maximum performance bonuses payable is $3.0
  million if certain performance targets are met based on a formula.  In the event
