Item 8.01.     Other Events.

 

On April 23, 2013 NetSpend Holdings, Inc. (“NetSpend”) filed a definitive proxy statement for its special meeting of shareholders to vote on NetSpend’s merger agreement with Total System Services, Inc. and General Merger Sub, Inc. The proxy statement indicated that 70,243,989 shares of NetSpend common stock were issued and outstanding as of April 3, 2013, the record date for the special meeting. Although that is the number of shares for use for certain financial reporting purposes, the number of voting shares should include an additional 2,199,410 shares of unvested restricted stock and an adjustment reflecting the issuance of an additional 20, 977 shares.  Consequently, the correct number of shares of NetSpend common stock issued, outstanding and entitled to vote at the special meeting is 72,464,376, which number includes all shares of restricted stock.
