Item
8.01 Other Events.
On
December 13, 2009, Affiliated Computer Services, Inc. (“ACS”), Xerox Corporation
(“Xerox”), plaintiffs and certain other parties named in a class action filed by
ACS shareholders in the Delaware Court of Chancery related to Xerox’s proposed
acquisition of ACS (the “Merger”) entered into a Stipulation and Proposed Order
(the “Stipulation”), a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.
On December 14, 2009, the parties to the Stipulation will submit the Stipulation
to the Delaware Court of Chancery.
Under
the Stipulation, the plaintiffs agreed not to take any action to prevent or
delay the Merger from closing, and the parties to the merger agreement agreed to
amend the merger agreement so that, in order to complete the Merger, ACS must
receive approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of
ACS Class A common stock (other than the shares held by holders of ACS Class B
common stock). Post-closing monetary damage claims remain
outstanding.
Additional
Information
The
proposed merger transaction involving Xerox and ACS will be submitted to the
respective stockholders of Xerox and ACS for their consideration. In connection
with the proposed merger, Xerox filed with the SEC a registration statement on
Form S-4 that included a preliminary joint proxy statement of Xerox and ACS that
also constitutes a preliminary prospectus of Xerox and each of the companies may
be filing with the SEC other documents regarding the proposed transaction. ACS
will mail the definitive joint proxy statement/prospectus to its stockholders.
Xerox and ACS urge investors and security holders to read the definitive joint
proxy statement/prospectus regarding the proposed transaction before making any
voting or investment decision when it becomes available because it will contain
important information. You may obtain a free copy of the joint proxy
statement/prospectus, as well as other filings containing information about
Xerox and ACS, without charge, at the SEC’s Internet site (http://www.sec.gov).
Copies of the definitive joint proxy statement/prospectus and the filings with
the SEC that will be incorporated by reference in the definitive joint proxy
statement/prospectus can also be obtained, when available, without charge, from
Xerox’s website, www.xerox.com, under the heading “Investor Relations” and then
under the heading “SEC Filings”. You may also obtain these documents, without
charge, from ACS’s website, www.acs-inc.com, under the tab “Investor Relations”
and then under the heading “SEC Filings”.
Xerox,
ACS and their respective directors, executive officers and certain other members
of management and employees may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation
of proxies from the respective stockholders of Xerox and ACS in favor of the
merger. Information regarding the persons who may, under the rules of the SEC,
be deemed participants in the solicitation of the respective stockholders of
Xerox and ACS in connection with the proposed merger are set forth in the
preliminary joint proxy statement/prospectus filed with the SEC. You can find
information about Xerox’s executive officers and directors in its definitive
proxy statement filed with the SEC on April 6, 2009. You can find information
about ACS’s executive officers and directors in its annual report on Form 10-K
filed with the SEC on August 27, 2009. You can obtain free copies of these
documents from Xerox and ACS websites using the contact information
above.
