Item 3.03. Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

As a result of the Merger (as defined below), each of the remaining Company Shares (as defined below) (other than (i) Company Shares owned, directly or indirectly, by ACI Worldwide Inc. (“ACI”), Olympic Acquisition Corp. (“Purchaser”) or Official Payments Holdings Inc. (the “Company”), which were cancelled and ceased to exist, and (ii) Common Shares owned by the stockholders of the Company who perfect their dissenters’ rights under Section 262 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as amended (the “DGCL”)) were converted into the right to receive $8.35 per Common Share, without interest and less any required withholding taxes, which is the same amount per Company Share paid in the Offer.

Item 5.01. Changes in Control of Registrant.

On November 5, 2013, ACI announced the successful completion of its tender offer (the “Offer”) to acquire all outstanding shares of common stock (the “Common Shares”) of the Company, par value $0.01 per share, at a price of $8.35 per Common Share net to the seller in cash without interest and less any required withholding taxes.

The Offer was conducted by the Purchaser and ACI. Purchaser acquired a total of 11,263,992 shares (excluding 332,228 shares that were tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures) pursuant to the Offer (representing approximately 67.3 % of the outstanding Common Shares), resulting in a change in control of the Company.

Effective November 5, 2013, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of September 23, 2013, by and among the ACI, Purchaser and the Company, ACI effected the merger of Purchaser with and into the Company (the “Merger”) pursuant to Section 251(h) of the DGCL (i.e., without a vote or meeting of the Company’s remaining shareholders). As a result of the Merger, the Company became a wholly owned subsidiary of ACI. The Company intends to deregister under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and will no longer make filings with the SEC or otherwise comply with the SEC rules relating to publicly held companies. On November 5, 2013, ACI issued a press release announcing the Merger. The press release is filed as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws.

Following the Merger, effective November 5, 2013, respectively, the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the Company were amended and restated in their entirety. Copies of the Company’s articles of incorporation and bylaws are attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and Exhibit 3.2, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
