Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation.

On May 10, 2007, in connection with the acquisition of Global Imaging Systems, Inc. (“Global Imaging”), Registrant borrowed $1 billion under its interim bridge credit facility (the “Interim Facility”), with the named lenders therein.

The additional disclosure required by this item is included in “Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement” of Registrant’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 1, 2007, which is incorporated herein by reference, to which the Interim Facility is filed as an exhibit.

 

Item 8.01. Other Events.

On May 11, 2007, Registrant completed its previously announced acquisition of Global Imaging. Registrant initiated a cash tender offer on April 4 to purchase all outstanding shares of common stock of Global Imaging for $29 per share. The tender offer expired at midnight ET on May 8, at which time about 45.6 million shares had been tendered, representing approximately 90.4 percent of the shares outstanding. Today Registrant acquired all of the remaining outstanding shares of Global Imaging. These shares will be cancelled and converted into the right for the shareholders to receive $29 per share in cash, without interest and less any required withholding taxes.

In connection with the closing of the Global Imaging acquisition, Registrant borrowed $300 million under its bank revolving credit facility and repaid $200 million of Global Imaging’s outstanding bank debt. In addition, funding for the acquisition was provided by the aforementioned $1 billion borrowing under the Interim Facility and cash on hand. Registrant expects that the borrowings under the Interim Facility will be repaid during the course of the year.
