Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On February 4, 2008, Fiserv, Inc. (the “Company”) completed the sale (the “Transaction”) of Fiserv Trust Company and the accounts of the Company’s institutional retirement plan and advisor services operations, the majority of the Fiserv Investment Support Services (“Fiserv ISS”) business, to TD AMERITRADE Online Holdings Corp. (“TD Ameritrade”) pursuant to the terms of a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 24, 2007, between the Company and TD Ameritrade (the “Agreement”). The Company received $225 million in cash at closing, plus the amount of acquired regulatory capital, and is entitled to receive contingent cash consideration of up to $100 million based on the achievement of revenue targets over the twelve months subsequent to closing. The Company expects to complete the sale of the remainder of the Fiserv ISS business to Robert Beriault Holdings, Inc. by the end of the second quarter of 2008.

The foregoing description of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. There are representations and warranties contained in the Agreement which were made by the parties to each other as of specific dates. The assertions embodied in these representations and warranties were made solely for purposes of the Agreement and may be subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating its terms. Moreover, certain representations and warranties may not be accurate or complete as of any specified date because they are subject to a contractual standard of materiality that is different from certain standards generally applicable to shareholders or were used for the purpose of allocating risk between the parties rather than establishing matters as facts. Therefore, you should not rely on the representations and warranties contained in the Agreement as statements of factual information.
