Check the appropriate box below if the Form 8-K filing is intended to simultaneously satisfy the filing obligation of the registrant under any of the following provisions:

SunGard Data Systems Inc. (“SunGard”) is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of SunGard Capital Corp II (SCC II), which is a subsidiary of SunGard Capital Corp (“SCC” and together with SCC II, the “Company”). SunGard is seeking to borrow $720 million of term loans under its senior secured credit facilities. SunGard plans to use net proceeds from the loan, along with available cash, to finance a dividend to the Company’s stockholders of approximately $720 million. As a result of the dividend, the Company will make approximately $30 million of dividend-equivalent cash payments to certain of its equity award holders, which will be paid over the course of five years.

The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K is being “furnished” pursuant to Item 7.01 and in accordance with general instruction B.2 to Form 8-K shall not be deemed “filed” with the Securities and Exchange Commission for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or otherwise subject to the liabilities under that section, nor shall such information be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filings under the Securities Act of 1933.

The Current Report includes statements that express our opinions, expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or projections regarding future events or future results and therefore are, or may be deemed to be, “forward-looking statements.” These forward-looking statements can generally be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including the terms “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “approximately,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” or “anticipates” or similar expressions which concern our strategy, plans or intentions. All statements we make relating to estimated and projected earnings, margins, costs, expenditures, cash flows, growth rates and financial results are forward-looking statements. In addition, we, through our senior management, from time to time make forward-looking public statements concerning our expected future operations and performance and other developments. All of these forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may change at any time, and, therefore, our actual results may differ materially from those we expected. We derive most of our forward-looking statements from our operating budgets and forecasts, which are based upon many detailed assumptions. While we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, we caution that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and, of course, it is impossible for us to anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results. We assume no obligation to update any written or oral forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf as a result of new information, future events or other factors.
