On December 13, 2009,
Xerox Corporation (Xerox), Affiliated Computer Services, Inc. (ACS), plaintiffs and certain other parties named in a class action filed by ACS shareholders in the Delaware Court of Chancery related to Xeroxs 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. Xerox 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 SECs 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 Xeroxs 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 ACSs 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 Xeroxs executive officers and directors in its definitive proxy statement filed with the SEC on April 6, 2009. You can find information about ACSs 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.
