NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1—Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(“GAAP”). These accounting principles were applied on a basis consistent with those of the audited Consolidated Financial Statements contained in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 28, 2023 (the “2022 Form
10-K”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only
normal recurring adjustments, except as noted elsewhere in the notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements) necessary for a fair statement of our
financial position as of March 31, 2023, the results of our operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, and our cash flows for the three months
ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. These statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. The
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and footnotes as of
and for the year ended December 31, 2022, which were included in the 2022 Form 10-K. The December 31, 2022 Consolidated Balance Sheet data were derived
from audited financial statements but do not include all disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements. The results of operations for the three months
ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the expected results for any subsequent quarters or the full year.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SS&C Technologies Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries,
including a variable interest entity (“VIE”) for which we are the primary beneficiary. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncement Not Yet Effective

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial
Reporting. ASU 2020-04 provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP if certain criteria are met to contracts, hedging relationships and other
transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform
(Topic 848): Scope. The update provides additional optional guidance on the transition from LIBOR to include derivative instruments that use an interest rate for
margining, discounting or contract price alignment. The standard will ease, if warranted, the requirements for accounting for the future effects of the rate reform.
Additionally, in December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform: Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848, which deferred the sunset date of
Topic 848 from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024 to align with the amended cessation date of LIBOR. A substantial portion of our indebtedness bears
interest at variable interest rates, primarily based on USD-LIBOR. We continue to monitor the impact the discontinuance of LIBOR or another reference rate will
have on our contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions. We will apply the guidance to impacted transactions during the transition period. The adoption of
this standard does not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Fair Value Measurement


Authoritative accounting guidance on fair value measurements establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair
value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active
markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an
entity to develop its own assumptions.

As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we held certain investment assets and certain liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value on a
recurring basis. These investments include money market funds and marketable equity securities where fair value is determined using quoted prices in active
markets. Accordingly, the fair value measurements of these investments have been classified as Level 1 in the tables below. Investments for which we elected net
asset value as a practical expedient for fair value and investments measured using the fair value measurement alternative are excluded from the tables below. Fair
value for deferred compensation liabilities that are credited with deemed gains or losses of the underlying hypothetical investments, primarily equity securities, have
been classified as Level 1 in the tables below.

The following tables present assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in millions):

(1) Included in Cash and cash equivalents and Funds receivable and funds held on behalf of clients on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
(2) Included in Investments on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
(3) Included in Other long-term liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

We have partnership interests in various private equity funds that are not included in the tables above. Our investments in private equity funds were $13.2
million and $15.0 million at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, of which $10.4 million and $10.8 million, respectively, were measured using net
asset value as a practical expedient for fair value and $2.8 million and $4.2 million, respectively, were accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The
investments in private equity funds represent underlying investments in domestic and international markets across various industry sectors.
Generally, our investments in private equity funds are non-transferable or are subject to long holding periods, and withdrawals from the private equity firm
partnerships are typically not permitted. The maximum risk of loss related to our private equity fund investments is limited to the carrying value of its investments in
the entities.
We add new investment products such as mutual funds and exchange traded funds, through our subsidiary, ALPS Advisors, from time to time by providing
the initial cash investments as seed capital. We consolidate seed capital investments when our ownership percentage exceeds 50%. Shares in those investments not
owned by us are reflected as a redeemable noncontrolling interest on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Note 8—Stockholders’ Equity


Stock repurchase program
In July 2021, our Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program, which enabled us to repurchase up to $1 billion in the aggregate of our
outstanding common stock on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions until the one-year anniversary of the Board’s authorization, unless earlier
terminated by the Board. In July 2022, our Board of Directors authorized a new stock repurchase program, which also enables us to repurchase up to $1 billion in the
aggregate of our outstanding common stock on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. Our authority to repurchase shares under the program will
continue until the one-year anniversary of the Board’s authorization, unless earlier terminated by the Board. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we
repurchased 2.3 million shares of common stock for approximately $134.7 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we repurchased 2.3 million
shares of common stock for approximately $170.9 million. We use the cost method to account for treasury stock purchases. Under the cost method, the price paid for
the stock is charged to the treasury stock account.

Dividends
We paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.20 per share of common stock in each of March 2023 and March 2022 totaling $50.7 million and $51.1 million,
respectively.

Note 9—Variable Interest Entity


On July 15, 2021, we entered into an agreement whereby we obtained an 80.2% interest in DomaniRx, LLC (“DomaniRx”), a variable interest entity under
GAAP. We have the power to direct the majority of the activities of DomaniRx that most significantly impact its economic performance, the obligation to absorb
losses and the right to receive benefits from DomaniRx. Accordingly, we determined that we are the primary beneficiary of DomaniRx and consolidate its results.
The carrying value of the assets and liabilities associated with DomaniRx included in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2023, which
are limited for use in its operations and do not have recourse against our general credit or our senior secured credit facilities, are as follows:

Note 10—Revenues
We generate revenues primarily through our software-enabled services. Our software-enabled services are generally provided under contracts with initial
terms of one to five years that require monthly or quarterly payments and are subject to automatic annual renewal at the end of the initial term unless terminated by
either party. We also generate revenues by licensing our software to clients through either perpetual or term licenses and by selling maintenance services. We
classify license revenues related to sales-based royalty arrangements as term license revenue. Maintenance services are generally provided under annually renewable
contracts. Our pricing typically scales as a function of our clients’ assets under management, the complexity of asset classes managed, the volume of transactions and
the level of service the client requires. Revenues from professional services consist mostly of services provided on a time and materials basis.

Deferred revenues primarily represent unrecognized fees billed or collected for maintenance and professional services. Deferred revenues are recognized as
(or when) we perform under the contract. Deferred revenues are recorded on a net basis with contract assets at the contract level. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2023
and December 31, 2022, approximately $57.8 million and $68.0 million, respectively, of deferred revenue is presented net within contract assets arising from the
same contracts. The amount of revenues recognized in the period that was included in the opening deferred revenues balance was $172.3 million and $106.1 million
for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

As of March 31, 2023, revenue of approximately $977.1 million is expected to be recognized from remaining performance obligations for license, maintenance
and related revenues, of which $479.2 million is expected to be recognized over the next twelve months.
We record revenue net of any taxes assessed by governmental authorities.

Note 12—Income Taxes


The effective tax rate was 29.4% and 27.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The change in the effective tax rate for the
three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the prior year was primarily due to a decrease in recognition of windfall tax benefits from stock awards in the
current year and a change in the composition of income before income taxes from foreign and domestic tax jurisdictions.

Note 13—Earnings per Share
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted EPS (in millions, except per share amounts):
Three Months Ended March 31,

Shares attributable to SS&C:


Weighted-average common shares outstanding – used in calculation of basic EPS 250.4 255.8
Weighted-average common stock equivalents – stock options and restricted shares 6.6 11.8
Weighted-average common and common equivalent shares outstanding – used in calculation of diluted
EPS 257.0 267.6

Earnings per share attributable to SS&C common stockholders – Basic $ 0.50 $ 0.67
Earnings per share attributable to SS&C common stockholders – Diluted $ 0.49 $ 0.64

Weighted-average stock options, SARs, RSUs and PSUs representing 25.0 million and 16.1 million shares were outstanding for the three months ended March
31, 2023 and 2022, but were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the effect of including them would be anti-dilutive.

Note 14—Commitments and Contingencies


From time to time, we are subject to legal proceedings and claims. In our opinion, we are not involved in any litigation or proceedings that would have a
material adverse effect on us or our business.
Legal Proceedings
In connection with recent legal proceedings related to the ongoing DST ERISA matters described below, including the arbitration awards, we have recorded
an accrued liability of $51.5 million. Of this amount, $8.1 million and $43.4 million were recorded in 2022 and 2021, respectively, to Other income (expense), net on
the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Due to the inherent uncertainties associated with the resolution of these matters, the ultimate
resolution of and any additional potential exposure related to these matters are uncertain at this time.
On September 1, 2017, a putative representative action was filed on behalf of the DST 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan (the “Plan”) in the United States District
Court for the Southern District of New York, captioned Ferguson, et al v. Ruane Cunniff & Goldfarb Inc., et al. (“Ferguson”), naming as defendants DST, the
Compensation Committee of DST’s Board of Directors, the Advisory Committee of the Plan and certain of DST’s present and/or former officers and directors
(collectively the “DST Defendants”), alleging breach of fiduciary duties and other violations of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”). The DST
Defendants answered the operative complaint and asserted crossclaims for contribution and/or indemnification against Ruane, Cunniff & Goldfarb Inc. (“Ruane”). On
January 9, 2020, Ruane filed an amended answer to the amended complaint and asserted crossclaims for contribution and/or indemnification against DST. On March
8, 2021, the Court entered an order denying without prejudice the plaintiffs’ (the “Ferguson Plaintiffs”) then-pending motions for leave to file a third amended
complaint and for class certification, ordering that the parties address the effect, if any, on the Ferguson Plaintiffs’ motions of the March 4, 2021 decision by the
United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit Court in Cooper v. Ruane Cunniff & Goldfarb Inc. The Ferguson Plaintiffs renewed their motions for leave to
file a third amended complaint and for class certification. On August 17, 2021, the Court entered an order certifying a mandatory, non-opt-out class under Federal
Rule of Civil Procedure 23(b)(1) that includes all plan participants other than certain plan fiduciaries. Arbitration Claimants, and the Canfield Plaintiffs and Mendon
Plaintiffs, each as defined below, filed petitions under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23(f) with the Second Circuit on August 30, 2021 and August 31, 2021,
respectively, seeking interlocutory review of the Ferguson class certification order, which the Ferguson Plaintiffs and the DST Defendants opposed. The Second
Circuit denied the Rule 23(f) petitions on May 24, 2022 and May 25, 2022, respectively. On February 4, 2022, the Ferguson Plaintiffs filed a third amended
complaint, which included the class allegations. On March 7, 2022, the DST Defendants and Ruane each filed answers to the Ferguson Plaintiffs’ third amended
complaint and reasserted their respective cross-claims. On August 23, 2021, the DST Defendants moved for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction
against other proceedings, including the below-described arbitrations, which arise out of or relate to the allegations in Ferguson. Following briefing, on November 18,
2021, the Court granted the DST Defendants’ motion and entered a preliminary injunction enjoining the Ferguson class members, including Arbitration Claimants,
from instituting new actions or litigating in arbitration or other proceedings against the DST Defendants matters arising out of or relating to the facts or transactions
alleged in the Ferguson amended complaint. On November 18, 2021, the Court also ordered the DST Defendants and Arbitration Claimants to submit briefing
regarding how the arbitration awards that have been entered against the DST Defendants should be handled in light of the Court’s class certification order and
preliminary injunction.

14
On December 15, 2021, Arbitration Claimants and the Canfield Plaintiffs and Mendon Plaintiffs filed appeals of the Court’s preliminary injunction. On
December 23, 2021, the DST Defendants, Arbitration Claimants, and the Ferguson Plaintiffs submitted briefs concerning the treatment of the arbitration awards that
have been entered against the DST Defendants, and further briefing by the DST Defendants and Arbitration Claimants was submitted on January 26, 2022. On
December 31, 2021, Arbitration Claimants moved by order to show cause for an immediate stay of the preliminary injunction pending their appeal to the Second
Circuit. On January 3, 2022, the Court denied Arbitration Claimants’ motion for an immediate stay and ordered the DST Defendants to show cause as to why the
Court should not issue a stay of the preliminary injunction pending appeal. On February 3, 2022, the Court denied Arbitration Claimants’ motion to stay the
preliminary injunction pending appeal. In the same order, the Court held that it would determine the status of the arbitration awards already entered against DST at
final judgment in the Ferguson action, either after trial or after settlement. On February 4, 2022, Arbitration Claimants filed a motion in the Second Circuit to stay the
preliminary injunction pending their appeal of the Court’s preliminary injunction. On June 7, 2022, the Second Circuit denied Arbitration Claimants’ motion to stay
the preliminary injunction pending appeal. On February 8, 2022, Arbitration Claimants and the Canfield Plaintiffs and Mendon Plaintiffs noticed an appeal of the
Court’s February 3, 2022 order. The February 8, 2022 appeal was consolidated with the December 15, 2021 appeal of the preliminary injunction. On May 17, 2022,
Arbitration Claimants and the Canfield Plaintiffs and Mendon Plaintiffs filed their opening brief in the consolidated appeals. The DST Defendants filed their
answering brief on September 15, 2022, and the reply was filed on October 20, 2022. On April 20, 2023, the Second Circuit heard oral argument on the appeal. This
appeal remains pending.
On July 10, 2020, the Ferguson Plaintiffs and the DST Defendants reached an agreement in principle to settle the class claims for $27 million, subject to the
occurrence of certain conditions, including: Court certification of a “non‑opt-out” class in the case that includes as class members all participants of the Plan, Court
approval of the settlement in accordance with applicable law and the satisfactory resolution of claims made by certain other litigants. On September 18, 2020, the
parties submitted a letter to the Court disclosing that the Ferguson Plaintiffs and Ruane also had reached a settlement in principle, subject to Court approval. The
Ferguson‌Plaintiffs and the DST Defendants entered into a settlement agreement dated January 8, 2021 memorializing the terms of their proposed settlement, which
was filed by the Ferguson Plaintiffs with the Court on the same date. On January 12, 2021, the Ferguson Plaintiffs moved for preliminary approval of the settlement
with the DST Defendants, as well as preliminary approval of a separate settlement reached between the Ferguson Plaintiffs and Ruane. Arbitration Claimants and the
U.S. Department of Labor (“DOL”) objected to various aspects of those settlements in filings dated January 15, 2021, January 27, 2021, and February 5, 2021. On
August 17, 2021, the Court denied the Ferguson Plaintiffs’ motion for preliminary approval of the settlement on the terms proposed.
On November 10, 2022, the Ferguson parties filed a notice of settlement and joint motion to stay the proceedings. The notice informed the Court that the
parties had reached a settlement in principle to settle the class claims (as discussed above, the class excludes certain plan fiduciaries), and the joint motion requested a
stay while the parties sought to finalize their agreement and prepare an application for Court approval of the contemplated settlement. On November 18, 2022, the
Court entered an order staying the Ferguson action for 30 days. On December 19, 2022, the Ferguson parties filed a joint motion to stay the proceedings for an
additional 30 days, which the Court granted on January 9, 2023, staying the proceedings until February 8, 2023. On February 8, 2023, the Ferguson parties filed a
joint motion to stay the proceedings for an additional 45 days, which the Court granted on February 21, 2023, staying the proceedings until April 7, 2023.
On April 5, 2023, Arbitration Claimants filed a motion to decertify the Rule 23(b)(1) class previously certified by the Court, or, in the alternative, to amend
the class definition to remove Arbitration Claimants or permit them to opt out of the class. On April 7, 2023, the Ferguson parties filed a joint status report informing
the Court that they had been working diligently with the DOL to finalize all necessary papers to document the settlement reached to resolve the Ferguson matter
together with other related matters, and that the parties anticipated filing a final executed settlement agreement and supporting exhibits by April 14, 2023. On April
14, 2023, the DST Defendants informed the Court that, in response to a request from Arbitration Claimants, the Western District of Missouri had entered an
injunction, as discussed below, enjoining DST from entering into or effectuating an agreement that settles, disposes of, interferes with, invalidates, satisfies, sets
aside, alters, or otherwise compromises any of 55 judgments confirming arbitration awards entered by the Western District of Missouri on March 31, 2023.
Following a status conference with the Court on April 24, 2023, the Court directed the parties to confer regarding settlement, and to submit a joint status report by
May 3, 2023. The Court also held in abeyance the deadline to respond to Arbitration Claimants’ pending motion to decertify the class.
On September 28, 2018, a complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York captioned Robert Canfield, et al. v.
SS&C Technologies Holdings, Inc., et al., on behalf of five individual plaintiffs (the “Canfield Plaintiffs”). On November 5, 2018, a similar complaint was filed in the
United States District Court for the Southern District of New York captioned Mark Mendon, et al. v. SS&C Technologies Holdings, Inc., et al., on behalf of two
individual plaintiffs (the “Mendon Plaintiffs”). These complaints name as defendants SS&C, the DST Defendants, and Ruane. The underlying claim in each
complaint is the same as in the above-described Ferguson matter, with the exception that these actions purport to be brought as individual actions and not putative
class actions. On July 10, 2020, the Court entered an order granting the DST Defendants’ motion to disqualify plaintiffs’ counsel in the Canfield and Mendon actions.
On March 17, 2021, the Court issued an opinion and order denying the DST Defendants’ motion to disqualify counsel from the arbitrations described below. On April
12, 2021, the Canfield Plaintiffs and Mendon Plaintiffs filed notices of voluntary dismissal dismissing their claims against Ruane with prejudice, which were entered
by the

15
Court on April 13, 2021. On April 22, 2021, the DST Defendants filed motions to dismiss the Canfield and Mendon actions. Those motions were fully briefed on May
28, 2021. On November 19, 2021, the Court dismissed the Canfield and Mendon actions. On December 17, 2021, the Canfield Plaintiffs and Mendon Plaintiffs
appealed the Court’s November 19, 2021 orders dismissing their respective actions to the Second Circuit. On May 17, 2022, the Canfield Plaintiffs and Mendon
Plaintiffs filed their opening briefs in those appeals. The DST Defendants filed their answering briefs on September 15, 2022. The Canfield Plaintiffs and Mendon
Plaintiffs filed their reply briefs on October 20, 2022. On April 20, 2023, the Second Circuit heard oral argument on the appeals. These appeals remain pending.
On October 8, 2019, a substantially similar action to the above-described Ferguson, Canfield, Mendon and below-described arbitration matters captioned
Scalia v. Ruane, Cunniff & Goldfarb Inc. was filed by the DOL in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York naming as defendants DST,
the Advisory Committee of the Plan, the Compensation Committee of DST’s Board of Directors and certain of DST’s former officers and directors, and alleging that
the DST Defendants breached fiduciary duties in violation of ERISA in connection with the Plan. The complaint also names as defendants Ruane and its former
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Robert D. Goldfarb. In the complaint, the DOL seeks disgorgement, damages and any other appropriate injunctive or equitable
relief. The DST Defendants moved to dismiss the complaint on December 4, 2020 on the ground that the DOL’s complaint is time-barred. Other defendants also filed
motions to dismiss on the same and other grounds. Briefing on the motions to dismiss was completed on February 5, 2021. On March 28, 2022, the court denied
Defendants’ motions to dismiss, and Martin J. Walsh was substituted for Eugene Scalia as the plaintiff. On April 11, 2022, the DST Defendants answered the DOL’s
complaint.
DST, the Advisory Committee of the Plan, and the Compensation Committee of DST’s Board of Directors have been named in 579 substantially similar
individual demands for arbitration to date, by former and current DST employees demanding arbitration under the DST Employee Arbitration Program and
Agreement (the “Arbitration Claimants”). The underlying claim in each is the same as in the above-described Ferguson matter, with the exception that the arbitrations
purport to be brought as individual actions. On November 24, 2021, in light of the preliminary injunction entered in Ferguson discussed above, the American
Arbitration Association ceased administration of the arbitrations brought by members of the Ferguson class, which includes all of the Arbitration Claimants with the
exception of certain former Plan fiduciaries. As of November 24, 2021, 557 demands for arbitration had been submitted to the American Arbitration Association (the
“AAA”). As of the date on which the preliminary injunction was entered, those individual arbitrations were at various stages depending on the particular proceeding.
Certain of those arbitrations had resulted in awards against DST and others had resulted in decisions finding no liability as against DST. Many of those decisions were
subject to further appeal within the AAA. Certain of the arbitration proceedings had been resolved in whole or in part by settlement. Since November 24, 2021, the
AAA has administered only those arbitration proceedings associated with claimants who are not members of the Ferguson class, certain of which have resulted in
awards against DST. Between August 20, 2021 and November 17, 2021, counsel for Arbitration Claimants filed 177 motions to confirm certain of the arbitration
awards. DST filed responses to those motions. Between October 4 and December 22, 2021, the Western District of Missouri issued orders confirming those 177
arbitration awards and entering judgments against DST. DST appealed those judgments to the Eighth Circuit. On November 20, 2021, DST requested that the Eighth
Circuit stay the pending appeals in light of the preliminary injunction entered in Ferguson. On December 3, 2021, the Eighth Circuit ordered the parties to brief
DST’s stay request, and on January 3, 2022, the Eighth Circuit declined to stay the briefing schedule on the pending appeals and consolidated those appeals. DST
filed its opening brief in the Eighth Circuit on March 24, 2022. Arbitration Claimants filed their opposition brief on April 26, 2022, and DST filed its reply brief on
May 18, 2022. The Eighth Circuit heard oral argument on June 14, 2022. On November 28, 2022, the Eighth Circuit vacated the judgments confirming the 177
arbitration awards and remanded those actions to the Western District of Missouri to determine whether the district court has subject-matter jurisdiction and whether
the district court should transfer the cases to the Southern District of New York. On December 14, 2022, the parties submitted simultaneous briefing to the Western
District of Missouri regarding transfer.‌On March 31, 2023, the Western District of Missouri issued an order finding that it had subject-matter jurisdiction over 55 of
the 177 confirmation actions, and confirmed the 55 arbitration awards in those actions and entered judgments against DST. The court dismissed the other 122 on the
ground that it lacked subject-matter jurisdiction. The court further denied DST’s motion to transfer any of the 177 confirmation actions to the Southern District of
New York. On April 28, 2023, DST appealed these judgments to the Eighth Circuit. These appeals remain pending.
On April 10, 2023, Arbitration Claimants filed in the Western District of Missouri an emergency motion seeking a temporary restraining order and preliminary
injunction prohibiting DST from settling or attempting to settle in the Ferguson action any of the 55 Western District of Missouri judgments confirming arbitration
awards, without the consent of those Arbitration Claimants and their attorneys. On April 10, 2023, the Western District of Missouri entered a preliminary injunction
stating that “[i]n each of the 55 cases in which this Court has subject matter jurisdiction and entered an order on March 31, 2023 confirming an arbitration award, the
Court hereby enjoins DST or anyone on behalf of DST from entering into or effectuating an agreement that settles, disposes of, interferes with, invalidates, satisfies,
sets aside, alters, or otherwise compromises each such judgment, without the express written consent of each Confirmation Plaintiff in whose favor judgment was
entered by this Court.” On April 12, 2023, DST appealed the preliminary injunction to the Eighth Circuit. This appeal remains pending. On April 27, 2023, DST filed
a motion in the Western District of Missouri seeking a stay of its preliminary injunction pending appeal.
We continue to vigorously defend these matters.

On November 11, 2020, DST, the Compensation Committee of DST’s Board of Directors, and the Advisory Committee of the Plan as plaintiffs filed a
complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against Ruane, certain of its related entities, and certain of its current and former
employees. The complaint asserts claims for contribution, indemnification, and breach of contract arising out of Ruane’s management of the Plan’s investments and
claims for actual and constructive fraudulent conveyances. On May 24, 2021, Defendant Robert Goldfarb filed an answer to the complaint. On December 17, 2021,
the remaining defendants filed a motion to dismiss the DST plaintiffs’ complaint. On July 27, 2022, the Court denied without prejudice the pending motion to
dismiss, and ordered the parties to submit by October 3, 2022 a joint status report with a new briefing schedule on the motion. On October 3, 2022, the parties filed a
joint status report with a new briefing schedule on the motion, which the court approved on October 4, 2022. On December 16, 2022, and January 13, 2023, the
parties filed joint motions to stay the proceedings, which were granted on January 31, 2023, staying proceedings until February 8, 2023. On February 8, 2023, the
parties filed a joint motion to stay the proceedings for an additional 45 days. On April 7, 2023, the parties submitted a joint letter motion requesting a stay through
April 14, 2023. On April 14, 2023, the parties requested that the Court enter a further stay in the matter through May 3, 2023. This request remains pending.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, or MD&A, is intended to provide readers of our Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements with the perspectives of management. It presents, in narrative form, information regarding our financial condition, results of
operations, liquidity and certain other factors that may affect our future results. It should be read in conjunction with our 2022 Form 10-K and the Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q. We use the term organic to refer to the businesses and operations that are included in the comparable
prior year period on a constant currency basis. Organic excludes the impact of any business which we acquired for the time period which would impact the
comparable prior year period.

The COVID-19 pandemic and ongoing macroeconomic conditions, such as increases in interest rates, inflation and changes in foreign currency exchange
rates, could have impacts on our results that are uncertain and, in many respects, outside our control. The situations remain dynamic and subject to rapid and possibly
material change, which ultimately could result in material negative effects on our business and results of operations. We will continue to evaluate the nature and
extent of the potential impacts to our business, consolidated results of operations, liquidity and capital resources.
Critical Accounting Policies
Certain of our accounting policies require the application of significant judgment by our management, and such judgments are reflected in the amounts
reported in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. In applying these policies, our management uses its judgment to determine the appropriate
assumptions to be used in the determination of estimates. Those estimates are based on our historical experience, terms of existing contracts, management’s
observation of trends in the industry, information provided by our clients and information available from other outside sources, as appropriate. Actual results may
differ significantly from the estimates contained in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting
estimates and assumptions or the judgments affecting the application of those estimates and assumptions since the filing of our 2022 Form 10-K. Our critical
accounting policies are described in the 2022 Form 10-K and include:
• Investments
• Long-Lived Assets, Intangible Assets and Goodwill
• Software Capitalization
• Acquisition Accounting
• Revenue Recognition
• Stock-based Compensation
• Income Taxes

Results of Operations

Revenues
We derive our revenues from two sources: software-enabled services revenues and license, maintenance and related revenues. As a general matter, fluctuations
in our software-enabled services revenues are attributable to the number of new software-enabled services clients as well as total assets under management in our
clients’ portfolios and the number of outsourced transactions provided to our existing clients. Software-enabled services revenues also fluctuate as a result of
reimbursements received for “out-of-pocket” expenses, such as postage and telecommunications charges, which are recorded as revenues on an accrual basis.
Because these additional revenues are offset by the reimbursable expenses incurred, there is no impact on gross profit, operating income and net income, however the
reimbursements billed and expenses incurred can lead to fluctuations in revenues, cost of revenues and gross margin percentage each period. License, maintenance
and related revenues consist primarily of term and perpetual license fees, maintenance fees and professional services. Maintenance revenues vary based on customer
retention and on the annual increases in fees, which are generally tied to the consumer price index. License and professional services revenues tend to fluctuate based
on the number of new licensing clients, the timing and terms of contract renewals and demand for consulting services.

Our results of operations below include the results of our recent acquisitions from the date which they were acquired, including, Blue Prism and Hubwise in
March 2022, MineralWare in May 2022, O’Shares in June 2022, Tier1 in August 2022 and CFO in December 2022.

The following table sets forth the percentage of our total revenues represented by each of the following sources of revenues for the periods indicated:
Three Months Ended March 31,
2023 2022
Software-enabled services 81.8 % 83.8 %
License, maintenance and related 18.2 % 16.2 %
Total revenues 100.0 % 100.0 %

The following table sets forth revenues (dollars in millions) and percent change in revenues for the periods indicated:

Software-enabled services $ 1,114.2 $ 1,085.2 2.7 %
License, maintenance and related 248.5 209.8 18.4 %
Total revenues $ 1,362.7 $ 1,295.0 5.2 %

Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. Our revenues increased $67.7 million, or 5.2%, primarily due to revenues associated with our 2022
acquisitions, which contributed $63.2 million in revenues and an increase in organic revenues of $24.2 million driven by strength in the SS&C GlobeOp fund
administration and Global Investor and Distribution Solutions businesses. These increases were partially offset by the unfavorable impact from foreign currency
translation of $19.7 million. Software-enabled services revenues increased $29.0 million, or 2.7%, primarily due to an increase in organic revenues of $32.8 million
and acquisitions, which added $12.5 million in revenues, partially offset by the unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation of $16.3 million. License,
maintenance and related revenues increased $38.7 million, or 18.4%, primarily due to acquisitions, which added $50.7 million in revenues, partially offset by a
decrease in organic revenues of $8.6 million and the unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation of $3.4 million.

18
Cost of Revenues
Cost of software-enabled services revenues consists primarily of costs related to personnel utilized in providing our software-enabled services and
amortization of intangible assets. Cost of license, maintenance and other related revenues consists primarily of the costs related to personnel utilized in servicing our
maintenance contracts and to provide implementation, conversion and training services to our software licensees, as well as system integration and custom
programming consulting services and amortization of intangible assets.

The following tables set forth each of the following cost of revenues as a percentage of their respective revenue source for the periods indicated:
Three Months Ended March 31,
2023 2022
Cost of software-enabled services 56.6 % 54.9 %
Cost of license, maintenance and related 38.1 % 38.0 %
Total cost of revenues 53.3 % 52.1 %

Cost of license, maintenance and related 94.7 79.7 18.8 %
Total cost of revenues $ 725.7 $ 675.2 7.5 %

Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. Our total cost of revenues increased by $50.5 million, or 7.5%, primarily due to an increase of $40.9 million
in organic costs and acquisitions, which added $23.7 million in costs. These increases were partially offset by the favorable impact from foreign currency translation,
which decreased costs by $14.1 million. Organic cost increases are primarily due to personnel costs, including the impact of wage inflation and costs to support
organic growth, partially offset by a decrease in amortization. Cost of software-enabled services revenues increased $35.5 million, or 6.0%, primarily due to an
increase of $41.3 million in organic costs and acquisitions, which added $6.8 million in costs. These increases were partially offset by the favorable impact from
foreign currency translation which decreased costs by $12.6 million. Cost of license, maintenance and related revenues increased $15.0 million, or 18.8%, primarily
due to acquisitions, which added $16.9 million in costs, partially offset by the favorable impact from foreign currency translation of $1.5 million and a decrease in
organic costs of $0.4 million.

Operating Expenses
Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of the personnel costs associated with the selling and marketing of our products, including salaries,
commissions and travel and entertainment. Such expenses also include amortization of intangible assets, the cost of branch sales offices, trade shows and marketing
and promotional materials. Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel costs attributable to the enhancement of existing products and the
development of new software products. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel costs related to management, accounting and finance,
information management, human resources and administration and associated overhead costs, as well as fees for professional services.

The following table sets forth the percentage of our total revenues represented by each of the following operating expenses for the periods indicated:
Three Months Ended March 31,
2023 2022
Selling and marketing 10.3 % 8.6 %

General and administrative 98.9 111.3 (11.1 )%
Total operating expenses $ 356.9 $ 328.0 8.8 %

Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. Operating expenses increased $28.9 million, or 8.8%, primarily due to our acquisitions, which added
expenses of $39.7 million. This increase was partially offset by the favorable impact from foreign currency translation, which decreased expenses by $8.1 million,
and a decrease of $2.7 million in organic operating expenses. Total operating expenses, excluding the impact of acquisitions and foreign currency translation,
primarily decreased due to a decrease in professional fees partially offset by increases in personnel-related costs and increased travel and entertainment. Professional
fees in the three months ended March 31, 2022 were elevated due to our acquisition of Blue Prism.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 for Interest, Taxes and Other

Interest expense, net. We had net interest expense of $111.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $49.3 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in interest expense, net for 2023 as compared to 2022, is due to a higher average interest rate on debt and higher average
debt balances. We had an average interest rate of 6.21% and 3.11%, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

Other income (expense), net. We had other income, net of $5.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to other expense, net of $9.0
million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, other income, net consisted primarily of dividend income of $10.2
million, partially offset by losses of $6.1 million related to the fair value adjustments on assets held for sale. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, other
expense, net consisted primarily of foreign currency translation losses of $9.7 million.

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates, net. We had equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates, net of $5.7 million and $1.3 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. Our equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates, net in 2023 is primarily related to a $4.8 million adjustment to increase
the carrying value of one of our investments.

Provision for income taxes. The following table sets forth the provision for income taxes (dollars in millions) and effective tax rates for the periods indicated:
Three Months Ended March 31,
2023 2022
Provision for income taxes $ 52.5 $ 63.5
Effective tax rate 29.4 % 27.0 %

Our effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 differ from the statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to the composition of
income before income taxes from foreign and domestic tax jurisdictions, foreign income that is being taxed in the U.S. offset by foreign tax credits that are being
limited and the recognition of windfall tax benefits from stock awards. The change in the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to
the prior year was primarily due to a decrease in recognition of windfall tax benefits from stock awards in the current year and a proportionate change in the
composition of income before income taxes from foreign and domestic tax jurisdictions. While we have income from multiple foreign sources, the majority of our
non-U.S. operations are in the United Kingdom and India. We anticipate the statutory tax rates in 2023 to be 23.5% in the United Kingdom and approximately 33.0%
in India. A future change in the composition of income before income taxes from foreign and domestic tax jurisdictions could impact our periodic effective tax rate.
On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act was signed into law, which includes a 15% corporate alternative minimum tax and a 1% excise tax on stock
repurchases. The provisions were effective January 1, 2023 and were immaterial to our financial results, financial position and cash flows. The 1% excise tax on
stock repurchases is included as a cost to acquire treasury stock.

20
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal cash requirements are to finance the costs of our operations pending the billing and collection of client receivables, to fund payments with
respect to our indebtedness, to invest in research and development, to acquire complementary businesses or assets, to repurchase shares of our common stock and to
pay dividends on our common stock. We expect our cash on hand, cash flows from operations and cash available under our Credit Agreement to provide sufficient
liquidity to fund our current obligations, projected working capital requirements and capital spending for at least the next twelve months.

During each of the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.20 per share of common stock totaling $50.7
million and $51.1 million, respectively.

Client funds obligations include our transfer agency client balances invested overnight as well as our contractual obligations to remit funds to satisfy client
pharmacy claim obligations and are recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet when incurred, generally after a claim has been processed by us. Our
contractual obligations to remit funds to satisfy client obligations are primarily sourced by funds held on behalf of clients. We had $429.2 million of client funds
obligations at March 31, 2023.

Cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities, as reflected in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, are summarized in the
following table (in millions):
Three Months Ended March 31,
Change From
Net cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash provided by (used in): 2023 2022 Prior Year
Operating activities $ 254.8 $ 183.5 $ 71.3
Investing activities (49.8 ) (1,583.5 ) 1,533.7
Financing activities (755.3 ) 1,240.9 (1,996.2 )
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash 0.9 (4.5 ) 5.4
Net decrease in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash $ (549.4 ) $ (163.6 ) $ (385.8 )

Net cash provided by operating activities was $254.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Cash provided by operating activities primarily
resulted from net income of $126.2 million adjusted for non-cash items of $201.4 million, partially offset by changes in our working capital accounts (excluding the
effect of acquisitions) totaling $72.8 million. The changes in our working capital accounts were driven by decreases in accrued expenses and an increase in accounts
receivable, partially offset by a decrease in prepaid expenses, an increase in deferred revenue and changes in income tax prepaid and payable. The decrease in
accrued expenses was primarily due to the payment of annual employee bonuses in the first quarter of 2023. The increase in accounts receivable was primarily due to
the billing of annual maintenance fees, which typically occurs in the first quarter of each year. The change in income taxes prepaid and payable is primarily driven by
the timing of tax payments.

Investing activities used net cash of $49.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily related to $42.6 million in capitalized software
development costs and $10.5 million in capital expenditures, partially offset by collection of other non-current receivables of $2.4 million and proceeds from the sales
and maturities of investments of $0.9 million.

Financing activities used net cash of $755.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily representing a net decrease in client fund
obligations of $541.9 million, $133.3 million of purchases of common stock for treasury, $50.7 million in quarterly dividends paid and $44.6 million of net debt
repayments. These expenditures were partially offset by proceeds of $15.3 million from stock option exercises.

We have made a permanent reinvestment determination in certain non-U.S. operations that have historically generated positive operating cash flows. At
March 31, 2023, we held approximately $203.8 million in cash and cash equivalents at non-U.S. subsidiaries where we had made such a determination and in turn no
provision for income taxes had been made. At March 31, 2023, we held approximately $109.9 million in cash that was available to our foreign borrowers under our
senior secured credit facility and will be used to facilitate debt servicing of those entities.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements


We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial
condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

Senior Secured Credit Facilities and Senior Notes
The table below provides a summary of the key terms of our Senior Secured Credit Facilities and Senior Notes:
Amount Outstanding
at March 31, 2023 Maturity Scheduled Quarterly
(in millions) Date Payments Required
Senior Secured Credit Facilities
Term Loan B-3 $ 1,093.0 April 16, 2025 0.25%
Term Loan B-4 969.3 April 16, 2025 0.25%
Term Loan B-5 1,645.6 April 16, 2025 0.25%
Term Loan B-6 519.3 March 22, 2029 0.25%
Term Loan B-7 782.5 March 22, 2029 0.25%
Revolving Credit Facility 75.0 December 28, 2027 None
Senior Notes 2,000.0 September 30, 2027 None

Our obligations under the Term Loans are guaranteed by (i) our existing and future U.S. wholly-owned restricted subsidiaries, in the case of the Term B-3
Loan, Term B-5 Loan, Term B-6 Loan and the Revolving Credit Facility and (ii) our existing and future wholly-owned restricted subsidiaries, in the case of the Term
B-4 Loan and Term B-7 Loan.

The obligations of the U.S. loan parties under the amended senior secured credit facility are secured by substantially all of the assets of such persons (subject
to customary exceptions and limitations), including a pledge of all of the capital stock of substantially all of the U.S. wholly-owned restricted subsidiaries of such
persons (with customary exceptions and limitations) and 65% of the capital stock of certain foreign restricted subsidiaries of such persons (with customary exceptions
and limitations). All obligations of the non-U.S. loan parties under the amended senior secured credit facility are secured by substantially all of our and the other
guarantors’ assets (subject to customary exceptions and limitations), including a pledge of all of the capital stock of substantially all of our wholly-owned restricted
subsidiaries (with customary exceptions and limitations).

The amended senior secured credit facility includes negative covenants that, among other things and subject to certain thresholds and exceptions, limit our
ability and the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to incur debt or liens, make investments (including in the form of loans and acquisitions), merge, liquidate or
dissolve, sell property and assets, including capital stock of our subsidiaries, pay dividends on our capital stock or redeem, repurchase or retire our capital stock, alter
the business we conduct, amend, prepay, redeem or purchase subordinated debt, or engage in transactions with our affiliates. The amended senior secured credit
facility also contains customary representations and warranties, affirmative covenants and events of default, subject to customary thresholds and exceptions. In
addition, the amended senior secured credit facility contains a financial covenant for the benefit of the Revolving Credit Facility requiring us to maintain a minimum
consolidated net secured leverage ratio. In addition, under the amended senior secured credit facility, certain defaults under agreements governing other material
indebtedness could result in an event of default under the amended senior secured credit facility, in which case the lenders could elect to accelerate payments under
the amended senior secured credit facility and terminate any commitments they have to provide future borrowings. As of March 31, 2023, we were in compliance
with all financial and non-financial covenants.

The Senior Notes are guaranteed, jointly and severally, by SS&C Holdings and all of its existing and future domestic restricted subsidiaries that guarantee our
existing senior secured credit facilities or certain other indebtedness. The Senior Notes are unsecured senior obligations that are equal in right of payment to all of our
existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness. Interest on the Senior Notes is payable on March 30 and September 30 of each year.

At any time and from time to time, we may, at our option, redeem some or all of the Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at the redemption prices set forth in
the following table, expressed as a percentage of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date:
Redemption Date Price
On or after March 30, 2023 102.750 %
On or after March 30, 2024 101.375 %
March 30, 2025 and thereafter 100.000 %

We may also, from time to time in our sole discretion, purchase, redeem, or retire any outstanding Senior Notes, through tender offers, in privately negotiated
or open market transactions, or otherwise.

The indenture governing the Senior Notes contains a number of covenants that restrict, subject to certain thresholds and exceptions, our ability and the ability
of our domestic restricted subsidiaries to incur debt or liens, make certain investments, pay dividends, dispose of certain assets, or enter into transactions with its
affiliates. Any event of default under the amended senior secured credit facility that leads to an acceleration of those amounts due also results in a default under the
indenture governing the Senior Notes.

22
Covenant Compliance
Under the Revolving Credit Facility portion of the amended senior secured credit facility, we are required to satisfy and maintain a specified financial ratio at
the end of each fiscal quarter if the sum of (i) outstanding amount of all loans under the Revolving Credit Facility and (ii) all non-cash collateralized letters of credit
issued under the Revolving Credit Facility in excess of $20 million is equal to or greater than 30% of the total commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility. Our
ability to meet this financial ratio can be affected by events beyond our control, and we cannot assure you that we will meet this ratio. Any breach of this covenant
could result in an event of default under the amended senior secured credit facility. Upon the occurrence of any event of default under the amended senior secured
credit facility, the lenders could elect to declare all amounts outstanding under the amended senior secured credit facility to be immediately due and payable and
terminate all commitments to extend further credit. Any default and subsequent acceleration of payments under the amended senior secured credit facility would
have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position and cash flows. Additionally, under the amended senior secured credit facility, our ability
to engage in activities such as incurring additional indebtedness, making investments and paying dividends is also tied to baskets and ratios based on Consolidated
EBITDA.

Consolidated EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure used in key financial covenants contained in the amended senior secured credit facility, which is the
material facility supporting our capital structure and providing liquidity to our business. Consolidated EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), further adjusted to exclude unusual items and other adjustments permitted in calculating covenant compliance under the
amended senior secured credit facility. We believe that the inclusion of supplementary adjustments to EBITDA applied in presenting Consolidated EBITDA is
appropriate to provide additional information to investors to demonstrate compliance with the specified financial ratio and other financial condition tests contained in
the amended senior secured credit facility.

Management uses Consolidated EBITDA to gauge the costs of our capital structure on a day-to-day basis when full financial statements are unavailable.
Management further believes that providing this information allows our investors greater transparency and a better understanding of our ability to meet our debt
service obligations and make capital expenditures.

Consolidated EBITDA does not represent net income or cash flow from operations as those terms are defined by generally accepted accounting principles, or
GAAP, and does not necessarily indicate whether cash flows will be sufficient to fund cash needs. Further, the amended senior secured credit facility requires that
Consolidated EBITDA be calculated for the most recent four fiscal quarters. As a result, the measure can be disproportionately affected by a particularly strong or
weak quarter. Further, it may not be comparable to the measure for any subsequent four-quarter period or any complete fiscal year.

Consolidated EBITDA is not a recognized measurement under GAAP and investors should not consider Consolidated EBITDA as a substitute for measures of
our financial performance and liquidity as determined in accordance with GAAP, such as net income, operating income or net cash provided by operating activities.
Because other companies may calculate Consolidated EBITDA differently than we do, Consolidated EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures
reported by other companies. Consolidated EBITDA has other limitations as an analytical tool, when compared to the use of net income, which is the most directly
comparable GAAP financial measure, including:
• Consolidated EBITDA does not reflect the significant interest expense we incur as a result of our debt leverage;
• Consolidated EBITDA does not reflect the provision of income tax expense in our various jurisdictions;
• Consolidated EBITDA does not reflect any attribution of costs to our operations related to our investments and capital expenditures through depreciation
and amortization charges;
• Consolidated EBITDA does not reflect the cost of compensation we provide to our employees in the form of stock-based awards;
• Consolidated EBITDA does not reflect the equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates; and
• Consolidated EBITDA excludes expenses and income that are permitted to be excluded per the terms of our amended senior secured credit facility, but
which others may believe are normal expenses for the operation of a business.

secured credit facility.

(1) Acquired EBITDA reflects the EBITDA impact of significant businesses that were acquired during the period as if the acquisition occurred at the beginning of
the period, as well as cost savings enacted in connection with acquisitions.
(2) Purchase accounting adjustments include (a) an adjustment to increase revenues by the amount that would have been recognized if deferred revenue were not
adjusted to fair value at the date of acquisitions, (b) an adjustment to increase personnel and commissions expense by the amount that would have been
recognized if prepaid commissions and deferred personnel costs were not adjusted to fair value at the date of the acquisitions and (c) an adjustment to increase
or decrease rent expense by the amount that would have been recognized if lease obligations were not adjusted to fair value at the date of acquisitions.
(3) Acquisition related includes costs related to both current acquisitions and the resolution of pre-acquisition matters.
(4) Other includes additional expenses and income that are permitted to be excluded per the terms of our amended senior secured credit facility from
Consolidated EBITDA, a financial measure used in calculating our covenant compliance.
(5) Consolidated EBITDA attributable to noncontrolling interest represents Consolidated EBITDA based on the ownership interest retained by the noncontrolling
parties of DomaniRx, our consolidated variable interest entity.

Our covenant requirement for consolidated net secured leverage ratio and the actual ratio as of March 31, 2023 are as follows:
Covenant Actual
Requirement Ratio
Maximum consolidated net secured leverage to
Consolidated EBITDA ratio(1) 6.25x 2.39x
_____________________________________________________
(1) Calculated as the ratio of consolidated net secured funded indebtedness, net of cash and cash equivalents, excluding $130.2 million of cash and cash
equivalents held at DomaniRx, to Consolidated EBITDA, as defined by the amended senior secured credit facility, for the period of four consecutive fiscal
quarters ended on the measurement date. Consolidated net secured funded indebtedness is comprised of indebtedness for borrowed money, letters of credit,
deferred purchase price obligations and capital lease obligations, all of which is secured by liens on our property.

Recent Accounting Pronouncement Not Yet Effective

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial
Reporting. ASU 2020-04 provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP if certain criteria are met to contracts, hedging relationships and other
transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform
(Topic 848): Scope. The update provides additional optional guidance on the transition from LIBOR to include derivative instruments that use an interest rate for
margining, discounting or contract price alignment. The standard will ease, if warranted, the requirements for accounting for the future effects of the rate reform.
Additionally, in December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform: Deferral of the Sunset Date

24
of Topic 848, which deferred the sunset date of Topic 848 from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024 to align with the amended cessation date of LIBOR. A
substantial portion of our indebtedness bears interest at variable interest rates, primarily based on USD-LIBOR. We continue to monitor the impact the
discontinuance of LIBOR or another reference rate will have on our contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions. We will apply the guidance to impacted
transactions during the transition period. The adoption of this standard does not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk


We do not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. We have generally invested our available cash in short-term, highly liquid
financial instruments, having initial maturities of three months or less. When necessary, we have borrowed to fund acquisitions.

Interest Rate Risk

We derive service revenues from investment earnings related to cash balances maintained in bank accounts on which we are the agent for clients. The
balances maintained in the bank accounts will fluctuate. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we had average daily cash balances of approximately $2,237.7
million maintained in such accounts. We estimate that a 100 basis point change in the interest earnings rate would equal approximately $10.5 million of net income,
net of income taxes, on an annual basis. The effect of changes in interest rates attributable to earnings derived from cash balances we hold for clients is offset by
changes in interest rates on our variable debt.

At March 31, 2023, we had total variable interest rate debt of approximately $5,084.7 million. As of March 31, 2023, a 100 basis point increase in interest
rates would result in an increase in interest expense of approximately $50.8 million per year.

Equity Price Risk

We have exposure to equity price risk as a result of our investments in equity securities. Equity price risk results from changes in the level or volatility of
equity prices which affect the value of equity securities or instruments that derive their value from such securities or indexes. The fair value of our investments that
are subject to equity price risk as of March 31, 2023 was approximately $56.0 million. The impact of a 10% change in fair value of these investments would have
been approximately $4.2 million to net income, net of income taxes. Changes in equity values of our investments could have a material effect on our results of
operations and our financial position.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, approximately 30% of our revenues were from clients located outside the United States. A portion of the
revenues from clients located outside the United States is denominated in foreign currencies, the majority being the British pound. While revenues and expenses of
our foreign operations are primarily denominated in their respective local currencies, some subsidiaries do enter into certain transactions in currencies that are
different from their local currency. These transactions consist primarily of cross-currency intercompany balances and trade receivables and payables. As a result of
these transactions, we have exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates that result in foreign currency transaction gains and losses, which we report in
other income (expense). These amounts were not material for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The amount of these balances can fluctuate in the future as
we bill customers and buy products or services in currencies other than our functional currency, which could increase our exposure to foreign currency exchange
rates. We continue to monitor our exposure to foreign exchange rates because of our acquisitions and changes in our operations. We do not enter into any market risk
sensitive instruments for trading purposes.

The foregoing risk management discussion and the effect thereof are forward-looking statements. Actual results in the future may differ materially from these
projected results due to actual developments in global financial markets. The analytical methods used by us to assess and minimize risk discussed above should not
be considered projections of future events or losses.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures


Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer (our principal executive officer and principal financial officer,
respectively), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2023. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined
in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that
are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Disclosure controls and procedures
include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required

25
to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management,
including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that
any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management
necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and
procedures as of March 31, 2023, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were
effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting


There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that
occurred during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings


The information regarding certain legal proceedings in which we are involved as set forth in Note 14 – Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to the
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q) is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.

In addition, we are involved in various other legal proceedings arising in the normal course of our businesses. At this time, we do not believe any material
losses under these claims to be probable. While the ultimate outcome of such legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, it is in the opinion of
management, after consultation with legal counsel, that the final outcome in such proceedings, in the aggregate, would not have a material adverse effect on our
consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 1A. Risk Factors


As of the date of this report, there have been no material changes to the risk factors we previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2022.

APPENDIX A

SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED 2014 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN OF SS&C TECHNOLOGIES HOLDINGS, INC.

STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) made this _______________ (the “Grant Date”) between SS&C Technologies, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and _________ (the “Participant”).

1.Grant of Option.

This Agreement evidences the grant by the Company on the Grant Date to the Participant, of an option to purchase, in whole or in
part, on the terms provided herein and in the Plan, an aggregate of the Shares set forth in the Stock Option Grant Notice at an Exercise
Price per Share set forth in the Stock Option Grant Notice (without commission or other charge).

It is intended that the option (“Option”) evidenced by this Agreement shall not be an incentive stock option as defined in Section 422
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and any regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Code”). Except as otherwise
indicated by the context, the term “Participant,” as used in this Option, shall be deemed to include any person who acquires the right to
exercise this Option validly under its terms.

2.Vesting Schedule.

(a) This Option will vest and become exercisable (“vest”) in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in the Grant Notice
unless the Plan Administrator subsequently determines to accelerate the exercisability of this Option, provided that, subject to Section
2(b), the Participant remains in continuous employment or service with the Company through each vesting date.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if, within twenty-four (24) months following a Change in
Control, the Participant experiences a Termination of Service without Cause or by the Participant for Good Reason, any unvested Options
shall vest in full as of the date of such termination.

(c) The right of exercise shall be cumulative so that to the extent this Option is not exercised in any period to the maximum extent
permissible it shall continue to be exercisable, in whole or in part, with respect to all Shares for which it is vested until the earlier of the
Final Expiration Date or the termination of this Option under Section 3 hereof or the Plan.
3.Exercise of Option.

(a) Form of Exercise. Except as otherwise provided by the Plan Administrator, each election to exercise this Option shall be in
writing (including electronic submission), signed by the Participant and received by the Company at its principal office, accompanied by
this Agreement, and payment in full in the manner provided in the Plan. The Participant may purchase less than the number of Shares
covered hereby, provided that no partial exercise of this Option may be for any fractional share or for fewer than ten whole Shares.

(b) Payment Upon Exercise of Options. Shares purchased upon the exercise of this Option may be paid for using one of the methods
set forth in Sections 5(a)(1)(A)-(F) of the Plan. Unless otherwise instructed by the Participant, Shares purchased upon the exercise of this
Option shall be paid for pursuant to a “net exercise,” as a result of which the Participant will receive (i) the number of Shares underlying
the portion of the Option being exercised, less (ii) such number of Shares as is equal to (A) the aggregate exercise price for the portion of
the Option being exercised divided by (B) the Fair Market Value on the date of exercise.

(c) Continuous Relationship with the Company Required. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3, this Option may not be
exercised unless the Participant, at the time he or she exercises this Option, is, and has been at all times since the Grant Date, an employee
or officer of, or consultant or advisor to, the Company or any Company Affiliate.

(d) Expiration of Option.

(1) This Option, once vested, may not be exercised to any extent by any one after the first to occur of the following events:

(A) The Final Expiration Date;

(B) Except as the Plan Administrator may otherwise approve, ninety (90) days following the date of the Participant’s
Termination of Service for any reason other than death or Disability;

(C) Except as the Plan Administrator may otherwise approve, twelve months following the Participant’s Termination of
Service by reason of the Participant’s death or Disability.

(2) For the purposes of this Agreement, the date of the Termination of Service shall be the last day that the Participant provides
services as an employee or officer of, or consultant or advisor to, the Company or any Company Affiliate, whether such day is selected by
agreement with the Participant or unilaterally by the Company or any Company Affiliate and whether with or without advance notice. For
the avoidance of doubt, no period of notice that is given or that ought to have been given under applicable law in respect of such
Termination of Service will be utilized in determining entitlement under the Plan or this Agreement. Any action by the Company or any
Company Affiliate taken in accordance with the terms of the Plan and this Agreement as set out aforesaid shall be deemed to fully and
completely satisfy any liability or obligation of the Company or any Company Affiliate

4
to the Participant in respect of the Plan or this Agreement arising from or in connection with such Termination of Service, including in
respect of any period of notice given or that ought to have been given under applicable law in respect of such Termination of Service.

4.Tax Matters

(a) Withholding. The Participant shall pay to the Company or any applicable Company Affiliate, or make provision satisfactory to the
Company or such Company Affiliate, for payment of, any taxes required by law to be withheld in connection with the exercise of any
portion of this Option, as applicable, under one of the methods permitted by the Plan. Subject to any applicable legal conditions or
restrictions, the Company shall, unless otherwise instructed by a Participant, withhold from the Shares otherwise issuable to the
Participant upon the exercise of this Option or any portion thereof a number of whole Shares having a Fair Market Value, determined as of
the date of exercise, not in excess of the minimum of tax required to be withheld by law (or such lower amount as may be necessary to
avoid variable award accounting); provided that the foregoing is at such time permitted under the terms of the agreements governing any
indebtedness to which the Company or any Company Affiliate may be a party; and provided, further that no fractional Shares will be
retained to satisfy any portion of the withholding tax and the Participant hereby agrees to satisfy any additional amount of withholding
taxes that are not satisfied through the retention of Shares by the Company. Any Shares retained by the Company pursuant to this Section
shall be deducted from the underlying Shares to be received by such Participant upon exercise of this Option. Any adverse consequences
to the Participant arising in connection with the Share withholding procedure set forth in the preceding sentence shall be the sole
responsibility of the Participant.

5.Nontransferability of Options.

This Option may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered by the Participant, either voluntarily or by
operation of law, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and, during the lifetime of the Participant, this Option shall be
exercisable only by the Participant.

6.Provisions of the Plan.

This Option is subject to the provisions of the Plan (including the provisions relating to amendments to the Plan), a copy of which is
furnished to the Participant with this Option.

7.Definitions.

Whenever the following terms are used in this Agreement, they shall have the meaning specified below unless the context clearly

APPENDIX A
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED 2014 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN OF
SS&C TECHNOLOGIES HOLDINGS, INC.

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT

AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) made this (the “Grant Date”) between SS&C Technologies Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
“Company”), and (the “Participant”).

Section 1. Grant of Restricted Stock Units.

The Company has issued to the Participant, pursuant to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated 2014 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), an
aggregate of Restricted Stock Units (the “RSUs”), with each RSU representing one share of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, of the Company (the
“Shares”), in consideration for employment services to be rendered by the Participant to the Company. Upon the vesting and settlement of the RSUs, the
Company shall (i) issue one or more certificates in the name of the Participant for the Shares or (ii) issue the Shares in book entry form only in the name of the
Participant. If the Company issues one or more certificates for the Shares, such certificate(s) shall initially be held on behalf of the Participant by the Secretary of
the Company. Following the vesting of any RSUs pursuant to Section 2 below, the Secretary shall, if requested by the Participant, deliver to the Participant a
certificate representing the Shares. If the Shares are issued in book entry form only, the Company shall, if requested by the Participant, issue and deliver to the
Participant a certificate representing the Shares following the settlement of any RSUs pursuant to Section 2 below.

Section 2. Vesting Schedule.

Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement or the Plan, the RSUs shall vest in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in the Grant Notice, provided
that you remain in continuous employment or service with the Company through the applicable vesting date, unless the Plan Administrator subsequently determines
to accelerate the vesting of these RSUs or as otherwise provided by Section 5(b).

Section 3. Settlement of RSUs.

The RSUs shall be settled to the extent vested on any applicable vesting date (including without limitation any vesting under Section 2 or Section
5(b)) by delivery of one (1) Share for each vested RSU being settled. Such delivery shall be made as promptly as practicable following such vesting date;
provided that such delivery of Shares shall be made no later than March 15 of the calendar year immediately following the year in which the applicable
vesting date occurs.

Section 4. Dividend Equivalents.

If and whenever the Company declares and pays a dividend or distribution on Shares during the period commencing on the Grant Date and ending
on the date on which the Shares underlying the RSUs are distributed to the Participant, the Participant shall be credited with an amount equal to the amount of
the dividend that the Participant would have received had the Shares in respect of the Participant’s outstanding RSUs been held by the Participant as of the
record date for such dividend (any such amount, a “Dividend Equivalent”). Any Dividend Equivalent shall be subject to the same vesting provisions as set
forth in this Agreement with respect to the RSUs and shall be paid to the Participant at the same time as the RSUs vest. The Plan Administrator will determine
the form of payment in its sole discretion and may pay Dividend Equivalents in Shares, cash or a combination thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, no
Dividend Equivalents will be paid to the Participant with respect to any canceled or forfeited RSUs.

Section 5. Consequences of Termination of Service.

(a) In the event of the Participant’s Termination of Service for any reason, all of the RSUs that are unvested as of the time of such Termination
of Service shall be immediately forfeited without the payment of any consideration to the Participant.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if, within twenty-four (24) months following a Change in Control, the
Participant experiences a Termination of Service without Cause or
by the Participant for Good Reason, any unvested RSUs shall vest in full and the Shares underlying such RSUs shall be distributed to the Participant in
accordance with Section 3.

Section 6. Withholding Taxes.

(a) The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Company has the right to deduct from payments of any kind otherwise due to the
Participant any federal, state or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to the vesting and/or settlement of the RSUs, including,
without limitation, by withholding a net number of Shares underlying vested RSUs equal to such withholding obligation.

(b) The Participant has reviewed with the Participant’s own tax advisors the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. The Participant is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its
agents. The Participant understands that the Participant (and not the Company) shall be responsible for the Participant’s own tax liability that may arise as a result
of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 7. Miscellaneous.

provided in accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them herein. Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, in no event shall
settlement of the RSUs occur later than March 15 of the year after the year in which such RSUs become vested.

APPENDIX A

SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED 2014 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN OF SS&C TECHNOLOGIES HOLDINGS,
INC.

PERFORMANCE STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT

This AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made, effective as of the Grant Date (as defined in the Performance Stock Unit
Grant Notice to which this Agreement is appended (the “Grant Notice”)), between SS&C Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the “Company”), and the individual set forth in the Grant Notice (the “Participant”).

1.Grant of Performance Stock Units.


This Agreement evidences the grant by the Company on the Grant Date to the Participant of an award of Performance Stock
Units (“PSUs”) on the terms provided herein and in the Plan, and as set forth on the Grant Notice (this “Award”). This Award is
granted under the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference and made a part of this Agreement.

2.Issuance of PSUs. Each PSU shall represent the right to receive one Share upon the vesting of such PSU, as determined
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Plan and the Grant Notice, and subject to the satisfaction of the performance
condition set forth on Exhibit A (the “Performance Condition”). The target number of PSUs is set forth in the Grant Notice (the
“Target PSUs”). The number of PSUs that are earned and eligible to convert to Shares based on the extent, if any, to which the
Performance Condition is satisfied under the Award, as determined by the Committee, are referred to as the “Earned PSUs”. In no
event shall the number of Earned PSUs under this Agreement equal more than 200% of the number of Target PSUs.

3.Vesting Schedule, Forfeiture Upon Termination, Effect of a Change in Control.


(a) The Award shall vest and become non-forfeitable in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in the Grant
Notice, subject to (i) the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including the satisfaction of the Performance Condition set forth on
Exhibit A) and (ii) the Participant’s continuous service with the Company through the Vesting Date (as defined in the Grant Notice).
For the avoidance of doubt, if the Grantee experiences a Termination of Service prior to the Vesting Date, subject to Section 3(b), all of
the PSUs (regardless of the level of achievement of the Performance Condition) will be forfeited and cancelled without consideration.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary,


3
upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, (i) the Performance Condition shall be deemed satisfied based on the greater of (x) target
and (y) actual performance through the date such Change in Control occurs, as determined by the Plan Administrator in its sole
discretion (and shall thereafter constitute Earned PSUs) and (ii) such Earned PSUs shall convert into an Award of time-based restricted
stock units (the “Time-Based RSUs”) with respect to the number of Shares underlying such Earned PSUs and will be eligible to vest,
subject to the Participant’s continuous service through the Vesting Date; provided, however, that if, within twenty-four (24) months
following such Change in Control, the Participant experiences a Termination of Service without Cause or by the Participant for Good
Reason, such Time-Based RSUs shall vest in full and the Shares underlying the Time-Based RSUs shall be distributed to the
Participant pursuant to Section 4 (and the date of such Termination of Service shall be deemed a “Vesting Date” for such purposes).

4.Distribution. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, upon the vesting of the Earned PSUs (or, if applicable, the Time-
Based RSUs), the Company shall deliver to the Participant, as soon as reasonably practicable after the applicable Vesting Date, one
Share for each such Earned PSU (or, if applicable, each Time-Based RSU); provided that such delivery of Shares shall be made no
later than March 15 of the calendar year immediately following the year in which the applicable Vesting Date occurs.

5.Dividend Equivalents. If and whenever the Company declares and pays a dividend or distribution on Shares during the
period commencing on the Grant Date and ending on the date on which the Shares underlying the PSUs (or Time-Based RSUs) are
distributed to the Participant, the Participant shall be credited with an amount equal to the amount of the dividend that the Participant
would have received had the Shares in respect of the Participant’s outstanding PSUs (or Time-Based RSUs) been held by the
Participant as of the record date for such dividend (any such amount, a “Dividend Equivalent”). Any Dividend Equivalent shall be
subject to the same vesting provisions (including the Performance Condition) as set forth in this Agreement with respect to the PSUs
(or Time-Based RSUs) and shall be paid to the Participant at the same time as the Earned PSUs (or Time-Based RSUs) vest. The Plan
Administrator will determine the form of payment in its sole discretion and may pay Dividend Equivalents in Shares, cash or a
combination thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, no Dividend Equivalents will be paid to the Participant with respect to any canceled
or forfeited PSUs (or Time-Based RSUs), including with respect to the any PSUs that fail to satisfy the Performance Condition.

6.Withholding Requirements. The Participant shall pay to the Company or any applicable Company Affiliate, or make
provision satisfactory to the Company or such Company Affiliate, for payment of, any taxes required by law to be withheld in
connection with the settlement of any portion of this Award, as applicable, under one of the methods permitted by the Plan. Subject to
any applicable legal conditions or restrictions, the Company shall, unless otherwise instructed by a Participant, withhold from the
Shares otherwise issuable to the Participant upon the settlement of this Award
4
or any portion thereof a number of whole Shares having a Fair Market Value, determined as of the date of settlement, not in excess of
the minimum of tax required to be withheld by law (or such lower amount as may be necessary to avoid variable award accounting);
provided that the foregoing is at such time permitted under the terms of the agreements governing any indebtedness to which the
Company or any Company Affiliate may be a party; and provided, further that no fractional Shares will be retained to satisfy any
portion of the withholding tax and the Participant hereby agrees to satisfy any additional amount of withholding taxes that are not
satisfied through the retention of Shares by the Company. Any Shares retained by the Company pursuant to this Section shall be
deducted from the underlying Shares to be received by such Participant upon settlement of this Award. Any adverse consequences to
the Participant arising in connection with the Share withholding procedure set forth in the preceding sentence shall be the sole
responsibility of the Participant.

7.Nontransferability of Award. This Award may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered by the
Participant, either voluntarily or by operation of law, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and, during the lifetime of the
Participant, this Award shall be exercisable only by the Participant.

8.Provisions of the Plan. This Award is subject to the provisions of the Plan (including the provisions relating to amendments to
the Plan), a copy of which is furnished to the Participant with this Award.

9. Miscellaneous.
(a) No Rights to Employment. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the transactions contemplated
hereunder do not constitute an express or implied promise of continued engagement as an employee or a consultant, as applicable, for
any period or at all.

(b) Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity

to the other party hereto at the address shown beneath his or its respective

signature to this Agreement, or at such other address or addresses as either party shall designate to the other in accordance with this
Section 9(e).

(f) Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Plan constitute the entire agreement between the parties, and
supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, relating to the subject matter of this Agreement.
