Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This current report contains forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical fact or relating to present facts or current conditions included in this current report are forward-looking statements including any statements regarding guidance and statements of a general economic or industry specific nature. Forward-looking statements give Vantiv’s current expectations and projections relating to Vantiv’s financial condition, results of operations, guidance, plans, objectives, future performance and business. You can identify forward-looking statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. These statements may include words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “plan,” “intend,” “believe,” “will,” “may,” “should,” “can have,” “likely” and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of the timing or nature of future operating or financial performance or other events.

The forward-looking statements contained in this current report are based on assumptions that Vantiv has made in light of its industry experience and its perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors Vantiv believes are appropriate under the circumstances. As you review and consider information presented herein, you should understand that these statements are not guarantees of future performance or results. They depend upon future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties (many of which are beyond Vantiv’s control) and assumptions. Although Vantiv believes that these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, you should be aware that many factors could affect Vantiv’s actual future performance or results and cause them to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements. Certain of these factors and other risks are discussed in Vantiv’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and include, but are not limited to: (i)Vantiv’s ability to adapt to developments and change in Vantiv’s industry; (ii)competition; (iii) unauthorized disclosure

of data or security breaches; (iv)systems failures or interruptions; (v)Vantiv’s ability to expand its market share or enter new markets; (vi)Vantiv’s ability to identify and complete acquisitions, joint ventures and partnerships; (vii)failure to comply with applicable requirements of Visa, MasterCard or other payment networks or changes in those requirements; (viii)Vantiv’s ability to pass along fee increases; (ix)termination of sponsorship or clearing services; (x)loss of clients or referral partners; (xi)reductions in overall consumer, business and government spending; (xii)fraud by merchants or others; (xiii)a decline in the use of credit, debit or prepaid cards; (xiv)consolidation in the banking and retail industries; (xv)the effects of governmental regulation or changes in laws; (xvi)outcomes of future litigation or investigations; (xvii)uncertainties as to the timing of the proposed business combination with Worldpay (the “Business Combination”); (xviii) uncertainties as to whether the Business Combination will be completed; (xix)the possibility that stockholders or other third parties will file lawsuits challenging the Business Combination; (xx)potential operating costs, customer loss and business disruption occurring prior to completion of the Business Combination or if the Business Combination is not completed; (xxi)the effect of the announcement of the Business Combination on Vantiv’s business relationships, operating results and business generally; (xxii)the failure to satisfy conditions to completion of the Business Combination, including the receipt of all required regulatory approvals; and (xxiii)difficulty in retaining certain key employees as a result of the Business Combination. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of these assumptions prove incorrect, Vantiv’s actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. More information on potential factors that could affect Vantiv’s financial results and performance is included from time to time in the “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” sections of Vantiv’s periodic reports filed with the SEC, including Vantiv’s most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K and its subsequent filings with the SEC.

Any forward-looking statement made by Vantiv in this current report speaks only as of the date of this current report. Factors or events that could cause Vantiv’s actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for Vantiv to predict all of them. Vantiv undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by law.

Additional Information

In the event that Vantiv determines to conduct the Business Combination to an offer or otherwise in a manner that is not exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, it will file a registration statement with the SEC containing a prospectus with respect to Vantiv common stock that would be issued in the Business Combination. INVESTORS AND STOCKHOLDERS ARE URGED TO READ THE PRELIMINARY PROXY STATEMENT, THE DEFINITIVE VERSION THEREOF AND OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS FILED OR TO BE FILED WITH THE SEC CAREFULLY WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT VANTIV, THE BUSINESS COMBINATION AND RELATED MATTERS.
