EVERTEC ANNOUNCES COMMENCEMENT OF PUBLIC OFFERING BY SELLING STOCKHOLDERS AND CONCURRENT REPURCHASE OF ITS COMMON STOCK

SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO – December 9, 2013 — EVERTEC, Inc. (NYSE: EVTC) (“EVERTEC” or the “Company”) announced today the commencement of an underwritten public offering of 15,287,473 shares of its common stock by an affiliate of Apollo Global Management, LLC (“Apollo”), Popular, Inc., and certain officers and employees of the Company (collectively, the “Selling Stockholders”). The Selling Stockholders will receive all of the proceeds from the offering.

In addition, EVERTEC announced that it will repurchase from the underwriters $75 million of its common stock being sold by the Selling Stockholders in the offering. EVERTEC will repurchase its common stock at the price per share paid by the underwriters to purchase the shares from the Selling Stockholders in the offering. The repurchased shares will be cancelled by EVERTEC and will no longer be outstanding following completion of the offering. EVERTEC intends to fund the share repurchase with approximately $25 million in cash on hand and approximately $50 million of borrowings under its revolving credit facility.

Assuming the share repurchase took place at the beginning of the year, EVERTEC believes that it will result in approximately 4% accretion to estimated 2013 Adjusted Net Income per diluted share.
