PART I

 

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

General

Unisys Corporation is a worldwide information technology (“IT”) company. We provide a portfolio of IT services, software, and technology that solves mission-critical problems for clients. We specialize in helping clients secure their operations, increase the efficiency and utilization of their data centers, enhance support to their end users and constituents, and modernize their enterprise applications. To provide these services and solutions, the company brings together offerings and capabilities in outsourcing services, systems integration and consulting services, infrastructure services, maintenance services, and high-end server technology. Unisys serves commercial organizations and government agencies throughout the world.

We operate in two business segments – Services and Technology. Financial information concerning the two segments can be found in Note 15, “Segment information”, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements appearing in our annual report to stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2011 (the “Unisys 2011 Annual Report to Stockholders”), and such information is incorporated herein by reference.

Principal Products and Services

Unisys brings together services and technology into solutions that solve mission-critical problems for organizations around the world.

In the Services segment, we provide services to help our clients improve their competitiveness, security and cost efficiency. Our services include outsourcing, systems integration and consulting, infrastructure services and core maintenance.

 

   

In outsourcing, we manage customers’ data centers, computer servers and end-user computing environments as well as specific business processes.

 

   

In systems integration and consulting, we consult with clients to assess the security and cost effectiveness of their IT systems and help them design, integrate and modernize their mission-critical applications to achieve their business goals.

 

   

In infrastructure services, we provide design, warranty and support services for our customers’ IT infrastructure, including their networks, desktops, servers, and mobile and wireless devices.

 

   

In core maintenance, we provide maintenance of Unisys systems and products.

In the Technology segment, we design and develop servers and related products to help clients reduce costs and improve the efficiency of their data center environments. As a pioneer in large-scale computing, Unisys offers deep experience and rich technological capabilities in transaction-intensive, mission-critical environments. We provide a range of data center, infrastructure management and cloud computing offerings to help clients virtualize and automate their data-center environments. Product offerings include enterprise-class servers, such as the ClearPath family of servers and the ES7000 family of Intel-based servers, as well as operating system software and middleware.

To drive future growth, Unisys is focusing its resources and investments in four targeted market areas: security; data center transformation, including our server business; end user outsourcing; and applications modernization.


The primary vertical markets Unisys serves worldwide include the public sector (including the U.S. federal government), financial services and other commercial markets including communications and transportation.

We market our products and services primarily through a direct sales force. In certain foreign countries, we market primarily through distributors. Complementing our direct sales force, we make use of a select group of alliance partners to market and complement our services and product portfolio.

Materials

Unisys purchases components and supplies from a number of suppliers around the world. For certain technology products, we rely on a single or limited number of suppliers, although we make every effort to assure that alternative sources are available if the need arises. The failure of our suppliers to deliver components and supplies in sufficient quantities and in a timely manner could adversely affect our business.

Patents, Trademarks and Licenses

Unisys owns over 1,330 active U.S. patents and over 55 active patents granted in 9 non-U.S. jurisdictions. These patents cover systems and methods related to a wide variety of technologies, including, but not limited to, computing systems, relational database management, information storage, device/circuit manufacture and design, imaging, data compression and document recognition/handling. We have granted licenses covering both single patents, and particular groups of patents, to others. Likewise, we have active licensing agreements granting us rights under patents owned by other entities. However, our business is not materially dependent upon any single patent, patent license, or related group thereof.

Unisys also maintains over 35 U.S. trademark and service mark registrations, and over 1,700 additional trademark and service mark registrations in over 135 non-U.S. jurisdictions. These marks are valuable assets used on or in connection with our products and services, and as such are actively monitored, policed and protected by Unisys and its agents.

Seasonality

Our revenue is affected by such factors as the introduction of new products and services, the length of sales cycles and the seasonality of purchases. Seasonality has generally resulted in higher fourth quarter revenues than in other quarters.

Customers

No single customer accounts for more than 10% of our revenue. Sales of commercial products and services to various agencies of the U.S. government represented approximately 17% of total consolidated revenue in 2011. For more information on the risks associated with contracting with governmental entities, see “Factors that may affect future results” in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Unisys 2011 Annual Report to Stockholders which is incorporated herein by reference.

Backlog

In the Services segment, firm order backlog at December 31, 2011 was $5.5 billion, compared to $5.8 billion at December 31, 2010. Approximately $2.25 billion (41%) of 2011 backlog is expected to be filled in 2012. Although we believe that this backlog is firm, we may, for commercial reasons, allow the orders to be cancelled, with or without penalty. In addition, funded government contracts included in this backlog are generally subject to termination, in whole or part, at the convenience of the government or if funding becomes unavailable. In such cases, we are generally entitled to receive payment for work completed plus allowable termination or cancellation costs.

 

2


Because of the relatively short cycle between order and shipment in our Technology segment, we believe that backlog information for this segment is not material to the understanding of our business.

Competition

Our business is affected by rapid change in technology in the information services and technology industries and aggressive competition from many domestic and foreign companies. Principal competitors are systems integrators, consulting and other professional services firms, outsourcing providers, infrastructure services providers, computer hardware manufacturers and software providers. We compete primarily on the basis of service, product performance, technological innovation, and price. We believe that our continued focused investment in engineering and research and development, coupled with our sales and marketing capabilities, will have a favorable impact on our competitive position. For more information on the competitive risks we face, see “Factors that may affect future results” in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Unisys 2011 Annual Report to Stockholders which is incorporated herein by reference.

Research and Development

Unisys-sponsored research and development costs were $76.1 million in 2011, 78.9 million in 2010, and $101.9 million in 2009.

Environmental Matters

Our capital expenditures, earnings and competitive position have not been materially affected by compliance with federal, state and local laws regulating the protection of the environment. Capital expenditures for environmental control facilities are not expected to be material in 2012 and 2013.

Employees

At December 31, 2011, we employed approximately 22,700 people worldwide.

In 2011, we used the title “partner” for certain members of our services business management. In using the term “partner” or “partners”, we did not mean to imply that these individuals are partners in the legal sense or to imply any intention to create a separate legal entity, such as a partnership.

International and Domestic Operations

Financial information by geographic area is set forth in Note 15, “Segment information”, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements appearing in the Unisys 2011 Annual Report to Stockholders, and such information is incorporated herein by reference. For more information on the risks of doing business internationally, see “Factors that may affect future results” in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Unisys 2011 Annual Report to Stockholders which is incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report, management performed, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and the Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), an evaluation of the effectiveness of the company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Based upon that evaluation, the CEO and the CFO concluded that, as of December 31, 2011, the company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Report of Management on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The management of the company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of the financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.

Management assessed the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, we concluded that the company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, based on the specified criteria.

KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has audited the company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, as stated in its report that appears in the Unisys 2011 Annual Report to Stockholders, and such report is incorporated herein by reference.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in the company’s internal control over financial reporting during the most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Unisys Corporation:

Under date of February 24, 2012, we reported on the consolidated balance sheets of Unisys Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of income, equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the years in the three year period ended December 31, 2011, as contained in the Annual Report to Stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2011 incorporated in this Form 10-K. In connection with our audits of the aforementioned consolidated financial statements, we also audited the related consolidated financial statement schedule referred to in Item 15(2) in this Form 10-K. This financial statement schedule is the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statement schedule based on our audits.

In our opinion, such financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

HISTORY AND SCOPE

1.01 History. Unisys Corporation (formerly, Burroughs Corporation), adopted the Burroughs Plan, effective July 1, 1984. Unisys Corporation is successor by merger to Sperry Corporation which, prior to such merger, established and maintained the Sperry Plan.

The Plan is maintained for the benefit of eligible employees of Unisys Corporation and the eligible employees of its subsidiaries that adopt the Plan.

Effective October 1, 1990, the Company’s CTIP was merged into the Plan. Effective November 30, 1992, the RIPII was merged into the Plan. Effective March 31, 1996, the RIP was merged into the Plan.

Effective September 16, 2004, the BCC Retirement Plan was merged into the Plan.

The Plan was amended and restated generally effective January 1, 2011 except as otherwise required by law or provided herein, to incorporate amendments through December 31, 2010, and to make certain design changes and clarifications related to the administration of the Plan.

The Plan is amended and restated generally effective January 1, 2012 except as otherwise required by law or provided herein, to reflect certain requirements of the Worker, Retiree and Employer Recovery Act of 2008 relative to minimum required distributions for 2009, and to make certain design changes and clarifications related to the administration of the Plan.

1.02 Effective Dates. The original effective date of the Plan was April 1, 1988. This amendment and restatement of the Plan is generally effective January 1, 2012, except as otherwise required by law or provided herein.

1.03 Rights Affected. Unless provided to the contrary herein, the provisions of the Plan shall apply to Employees who are credited with an Hour of Service after December 31, 2011.

1.04 Qualification Under the Internal Revenue Code. It is intended that the Plan be a qualified plan within the meaning of section 401(a) of the Code and that the Trust be exempt from federal income taxation under the provisions of section 501(a) of the Code.

4.04 GPEP Contributions. No contributions may be made to an individual’s GPEP Account with respect to any Plan Year beginning on or after January 1, 1998. Amounts, if any, allocated to a Participant’s GPEP Account prior to January 1, 1998 shall continue to be held in the GPEP Account until distributed in accordance with the terms of the Plan.

4.05 Qualified Nonelective Contributions. Subject to the limitations described in Article V, each Employer shall make a Qualified Nonelective Non-ESOP Contribution, a Qualified Nonelective ESOP Contribution, or both in such amount, if any, as the Board shall determine. Qualified Nonelective Non-ESOP Contributions made by an Employer

 

18


shall be allocated to the Qualified Nonelective Non-ESOP Account of its employees who are both Participants and Non-Highly Compensated Employees. Qualified Nonelective ESOP Contributions made by an Employer shall be allocated to the Qualified Nonelective ESOP Account of its employees who are both Participants and Non-Highly Compensated Employees.

4.06 Rollover Contributions. With the approval of the Plan Manager, a Participant may contribute to a Rollover Account all or a portion of the amount payable to the Participant as an eligible rollover distribution from an eligible retirement plan (as defined under section 401(a)(31) of the Code). Any payment to the Plan pursuant to this Section 4.06 shall be made as a direct rollover that satisfies section 401(a)(31) of the Code or shall be made to the Plan within 60 days after the Participant’s receipt of the distribution from the plan or individual retirement account in such manner as may be approved by the Plan Manager.

4.07 Contribution Attributable to Military Service. If a Participant returns to employment with the Employer following a period of service in the Armed Forces of the United States for which an Employer is required to give reemployment rights by law, the Employer contributions to the Plan with respect to such period shall be as follows:

(a) During the period that begins on the date of the Participant’s return to employment and lasts for the lesser of (1) the product of 3 multiplied by the applicable period of military service; or (2) five years, the Participant may elect a Compensation reduction in return for the corresponding Tax Deferred Contributions on his behalf, or After-Tax Contributions, as applicable, that could have been made if the Participant had continued to be employed and received Compensation during the applicable period of military service.

(b) The Employer shall contribute to the Plan, on behalf of each Participant who has been credited under subsection (a) with Tax Deferred Contributions or After-Tax Contributions, Matching Contributions equal to the amount of Matching Contribution that would have been required under Section 4.03 had such Tax Deferred or After-Tax Contributions, as applicable, been made during the applicable period of military service.

A Participant who is entitled to a contribution pursuant to this Section 4.07 shall not be entitled to receive corresponding retroactive earnings attributable to such contribution nor shall he be entitled to participate in the allocation of any forfeiture that occurred during his period of military service. For purposes of this Section 4.07, an Employee’s Compensation for the applicable period of military service shall be deemed to equal the amount of Compensation the Employee would have received from the Employer during such period, based on the rate of pay the Employee would have received from the Employer but for the absence due to military service, or, if such rate of pay is not reasonably certain, the Employee’s average Compensation during the 12-month period immediately before the qualified military service or, if shorter, the period of employment immediately before the qualified military service. The limitations under Sections 5.01 and 5.04 are applicable to contributions made pursuant to this Section 4.07 for the Plan Year to which the contributions relate. The limitations under Sections 5.02 and 5.03 shall not apply to contributions made pursuant to subsections (a) or (b) of this Section 4.07.

4.08 Allocation of Payments Relating to Executive Life Insurance Company Insolvency. To the extent the Plan is paid any amount from a state guaranty association with regard to the insolvency of Executive Life Insurance Company in 1991, such amount shall be allocated on a pro rata basis, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Plan Manager to the Accounts of any Participant who (a) resided in such state on the applicable trigger date for coverage under the state’s guaranty association statute, and (b) had any portion of his Accounts invested, as of April 11, 1991, in a fund that held an Executive Life Insurance Company guaranteed investment contract. The specific Accounts to which a Participant’s allocation shall be credited shall be the Accounts which were invested in the guaranteed investment contract.

4.09 Form and Timing of Contributions. Contributions shall be made to the Fund as soon as administratively practicable after the close of the payroll period to which they relate. In no event, however, shall Tax Deferred and After-Tax Contributions be made to the Fund later than the date prescribed under applicable regulations. In no event shall Matching Contributions be made to the Fund later than the last date on which amounts so paid may be deducted for federal income tax purposes by the contributing Employer for the taxable year in which the Plan Year ends. Effective January 1, 2011, all Matching Contributions shall be made in the form of Unisys Stock. The value of the Unisys Stock contributed as Matching Contributions shall be equal to the fair market value of such stock on the date such Matching Contributions is actually made to the Fund, determined in accordance with procedures established by the Plan Manager and the Trustee.

4.10 Recovery of Employer Contributions. The Employer may recover its contributions under the Plan as follows:

(a) if a contribution is made by an Employer under a mistake of fact, the excess of the amount contributed over the amount that would have been contributed had there not occurred a mistake of fact may be recovered by the Employer within one year after payment of the contribution; or

(b) if the contribution is conditioned upon its deductibility under section 404 of the Code, the contribution may be recovered, to the extent a deduction is disallowed, within one year after the disallowance.

Earnings attributable to an excess contribution may not be recovered by the Employer. Any losses attributable to the excess contribution shall reduce the amount the Employer may recover.

4.11 Plan Expense Contributions. The Employer, in its sole discretion, may contribute to the Plan, at any time and from time to time, such cash amounts as it shall determine in its sole discretion, which contributions shall be used to pay expenses of the Plan as determined by the Plan Manager. Such contributions shall be allocated as

 

20


of the end of the Plan Year with respect to which such contribution is made, on a per capita basis, among all Participants who are employed on the last day of such Plan Year. Anything contained in this Article IV, Article VI, Article VII, Article X, or elsewhere in the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) Plan Expense Contributions may be made by the Employer for a Plan Year at any time, but not later than the date on which amounts so contributed may be deducted for federal income tax purposes by the contributing Employer for the taxable year on or within which such Plan Year ends; (ii) a Participant may not direct the investment of amounts credited to his Plan Expense Contribution Account, instead, such amounts shall be invested by the Investment Committee in short-term investments pending the use of such amounts to pay plan expenses; (iii) a Participant shall be fully vested in amounts credited to the Participant’s Plan Expense Contribution Account; and (iv) no withdrawals or loans may be made by a Participant with respect to amounts credited to the Participant’s Plan Expense Contribution Account.

(a) For each Plan Year the average of the Actual Deferral Percentages for Participants who are Highly Compensated Employees shall be compared to the average of the Actual Deferral Percentages for the other Participants for the current Plan Year; the average of the Actual Deferral Percentages for Participants who are Highly Compensated Employees shall not exceed the greater of:

(1) the average of the Actual Deferral Percentages for Participants who are Non-Highly Compensated Employees for the current Plan Year, multiplied by 1.25; or

(b) If in the Plan Year, the average of the Actual Deferral Percentages for Participants who are Highly Compensated Employees exceeds the limit in subsection (a) for a Plan Year, the Plan Manager shall:

(1) determine the amount by which the Actual Deferral Percentage for Highly Compensated Employee or Employees with the highest Actual Deferral Percentage or Percentages for the Plan Year would need to be reduced to comply with the limit in subsection (a);

(c) To the extent that a Matching Contribution relates to excess Tax Deferred Contributions returned or recharacterized pursuant to subsection (b)(4), such Matching Contributions, as adjusted in accordance with subsection (d), shall be forfeited immediately.

(d) The excess Tax Deferred Contributions returned or recharacterized pursuant to subsection (b), and any Matching Contributions forfeited pursuant to subsection (c) shall be adjusted for any income or loss thereon up to the date of distribution or forfeiture, as applicable, using the Plan’s method for allocating income and loss as provided under Section 5.05.

(e) The amount of the excess Tax Deferred Contributions to be returned pursuant to subsection (b) for a Plan Year shall be reduced by the amount of excess Tax Deferred Contributions previously distributed to the Highly Compensated Employee pursuant to Section 5.01(b) for such Employee’s taxable year ending on or within the Plan Year for which the excess Tax Deferred Contributions are returned pursuant to subsection (b).

5.03 Limitation on After-Tax Contributions and Matching Contributions for Highly Compensated Employees.

(a) For each Plan Year the average of the Actual Contribution Percentages for Participants who are Highly Compensated Employees shall be compared to the average of the Actual Contribution Percentages for the other Participants for the current Plan Year; the average of the Actual Contribution Percentages for Participants who are Highly Compensated Employees shall not exceed the greater of:

(1) the average of the Actual Contribution Percentages for Participants who are Non-Highly Compensated Employees for the current Plan Year multiplied by 1.25; or

 

23


(2) the lesser of:

(A) the average of the Actual Contribution Percentages for Participants who are Non-Highly Compensated Employees for the current Plan Year multiplied by two, or

(B) the average of the Actual Contribution Percentages for Participants who are Non-Highly Compensated Employees for the current Plan Year plus two.

In the event that the Plan satisfies the requirements of section 401(a)(4), 401(m) or 410(b) of the Code only if aggregated with one or more other qualified retirement plans, or if one or more other qualified retirement plans satisfy the requirements of these sections only if aggregated with the Plan, then this subsection (a) shall be applied as if all such plans were a single plan.

(b) If in any Plan Year the average of the Actual Contribution Percentages for Participants who are Highly Compensated Employees exceeds the limit in subsection (a) for a Plan Year, the Plan Manager shall:

(1) determine the amount by which the Actual Contribution Percentage for Highly Compensated Employee or Employees with the highest Actual Contribution Percentage or Percentages for the Plan Year would need to be reduced to comply with the limit in subsection (a);

(2) convert the excess percentage amount determined under clause (1) into a dollar amount; and

(3) reduce the After-Tax Contributions (including any Tax Deferred Contributions recharacterized as After-Tax Contributions pursuant to Section 5.02(b)(4)(B)) and then, to the extent necessary, the Matching Contributions of the Highly Compensated Employee with the greatest dollar amount of aggregate After-Tax and Matching Contributions made on their behalf with respect to the Plan Year by the lesser of (A) the amount by which the dollar amount of the affected Highly Compensated Employee’s aggregate After-Tax and Matching Contributions exceeds the dollar amount of the Highly Compensated Employee with the next highest dollar amount of After-Tax and Matching Contributions, or (B) the amount equal to the excess dollar amount determined under clause (2); and

 

24


(4) either:

(A) direct the Trustee to return the excess After-Tax Contributions and vested Matching Contributions, as adjusted in accordance with subsection (c), to the individuals from whose Accounts the excess Matching Contributions were obtained within two and one-half months following the close of the Plan Year, if administratively practicable, but in no event later than the close of the following Plan Year; or

Amounts forfeited during the Plan Year shall be used to reduce future Matching Contributions made by the Employer.

(c) To the extent that a Matching Contribution relates to excess After-Tax Contributions returned pursuant to subsection (b)(4), such Matching Contributions, as adjusted in accordance with subsection (d), shall be forfeited immediately. Amounts forfeited during the Plan Year shall be used to reduce future Matching Contributions made by the Employer.

(d) The excess After-Tax and Matching Contributions returned or recharacterized pursuant to subsection (b) shall be adjusted for any income or loss thereon up to the date of the distribution or forfeiture, as applicable, using the Plan’s method for allocating income and loss as provided under Section 5.05.

5.04 Limitations on Allocations.

(a) The maximum allowable addition to any Participant’s Accounts for any Plan Year shall be the lesser of:

(1) $40,000 (as adjusted under section 415(d) of the Code); or

For purposes of this Section 5.04, an addition shall not include Tax Deferred Contributions made pursuant to Section 4.01(b) and Rollover Contributions but shall include all other contributions and forfeitures allocated to a Participant’s Accounts for the Plan Year, and all contributions and forfeitures under any other defined contribution plan of the Company or an Affiliate (other than elective deferral contributions made pursuant to section 414(v) of the Code).

 

25


(b) If the addition to any Participant’s Accounts (other than his Rollover Account) for any Plan Year exceeds the maximum annual allowable addition to such Participant’s Accounts under subsection (a), then the excess amount shall be eliminated by reducing the additions made to such Participant’s account, by first reducing the Participant’s After-Tax Contributions and related Matching Contributions to the extent necessary or, if less, to the extent the After-Tax Contributions made with respect to the Plan Year are exhausted. To the extent there is an excess remaining after this reduction, the Tax Deferred Contributions and related Matching Contributions made on behalf of such Participant shall be reduced. To the extent that an excess remains after this reduction, the Matching Contribution of the Participant shall be reduced. Any After-Tax or Tax Deferred Contributions reduced pursuant to this subsection (b) shall be returned to the Participant. Any Matching Contributions reduced pursuant to this subsection (b) shall be held in a suspense account (which shall share in the investment gains and losses of the Fund) by the Trustee until the following Plan Year. Such amounts shall be used in the following Plan Year to reduce the Matching Contributions otherwise payable by the Employer by which the Participant is employed in such subsequent Plan Year. Effective January 1, 2008, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any annual additions that are determined to be excess under this Section shall only be corrected as permissible under applicable guidance, including the Employee Plans Compliance Resolution System that is issued by the Internal Revenue Service.

(c) In no event shall the amount allocated to the Account of any Participant for any Limitation Year cause the sum of the “defined contribution fraction” and the “defined benefit fraction,” as such terms are defined in section 415(e) of the Code, to exceed 1.0, or such other limitation as may be applicable under section 415 of the Code with respect to any combination of qualified plans of the Employer or an Affiliate without disqualification of any such plan. In the event that the amount tentatively available for allocation to the Account of any Participant in any Limitation Year exceeds the maximum amount permissible hereunder, benefits under the defined benefit plan or plans in which the Participant is participating shall be adjusted to the extent necessary to satisfy the requirements of section 415(e) of the Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the limitations described above in this subsection (c) shall not apply with respect to payments due on or after the first day of the limitation year beginning January 1, 2000; provided, however, that the aggregate benefits payable to, or on account of, a Participant who is not credited with an Hour of Service on or after January 1, 2000 shall continue to be subject to the limitations described above in this subsection (c).

5.05 Distribution or Forfeiture of Income. Effective January 1, 2008, any distribution or forfeiture of Tax Deferred Contributions, After-Tax Contributions or Matching Contributions necessary pursuant to Section 5.02 and 5.03 shall include a distribution or forfeiture of the income, if any, allocated to such contributions determined as of the last day of the Plan Year preceding such distribution without regard to Gap Period Income

5.06 Overall Deductibility Limit. In no event may the aggregate contribution made by an Employer under the Plan for a Plan Year exceed the amount that may be deducted under section 404 of the Code with respect to such Plan Year.

ARTICLE VI

INVESTMENT AND VALUATION OF ACCOUNTS

6.01 Investment Direction by Participants. Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.02, each Participant shall direct the Trustee to invest the amounts credited to his Accounts in one or more Investment Funds, subject to the rules and procedures established by the Plan Manager. A Participant’s investment direction shall be made at the time and in the manner prescribed by the Plan Manager. If any balance remains in a Participant’s Accounts after his death, his Beneficiary shall direct the investment of the amounts credited to the Accounts as if the Beneficiary were the Participant. To the extent required by a Qualified Domestic Relations Order, the alternate payee of a Participant shall direct the investment of the amounts credited to the Participant’s Accounts as though the alternate payee were the Participant. To the extent a Participant, Beneficiary or alternate payee directs the investment of the amounts credited to his Accounts, this Plan is intended to be subject to section 404(c) of ERISA, as described under Section 6.07. To the extent that a Participant, Beneficiary or alternate payee does not direct the investment of his Account, his or her Account shall be invested pending such direction in the Qualified Default Investment Alternative; provided that effective January 1, 2011, the default investment for Matching Contributions shall be the Unisys Common Stock Fund. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Investment Committee shall have the right to adopt rules and procedures to govern Participant, Beneficiary or alternate payee investment elections and directions under the terms of the Plan, whether or not such rules and procedures are required by the investment funds.

6.02 Restrictions on Participant Investment Direction. Notwithstanding the investment direction otherwise provided to Participants under Section 6.01, the restrictions set forth below shall apply to the availability of investment direction to Participants.

(a) For periods prior to February 1, 2000, a Participant may not direct the investment of amounts held under his GPEP Account. Instead, with respect to such periods, a Participant’s GPEP Account shall be invested solely in the Unisys Common Stock Fund.

(b) The portion of a Participant’s ESOP Account and Regular Account (excluding amounts attributable to the Burroughs Plan or the Sperry Plan) contributed in the form of Unisys stock attributable to amounts contributed prior to January 1, 2007 shall be invested solely in the Unisys Common Stock Fund until the Plan Year in which the Participant is expected to attain age 50. As of the first day of the Plan Year in which the Participant is expected to attain age 50, a Participant may direct the investment of the portion of his ESOP Account and Regular Account attributable to amounts contributed prior to January 1, 2007 in accordance with Section 6.01. Effective January 1, 2007, a Participant may direct the investment of the portion of his ESOP Account and Regular Account in accordance with Section 6.01, regardless of age.

 

27


(c) Generally, the portion of a Participant’s Accounts attributable to the Sperry Plan may be invested in accordance with Section 6.01; provided, however, that any amounts that a Participant directed to have invested in the Unisys Common Stock Fund prior to January 1, 2007 must remain in such Investment Fund until the first day of the Plan Year in which the Participant is expected to attain age 50. Effective January 1, 2007, a Participant may direct the investment of the portion of his Accounts attributable to the Sperry Plan that the Participant directed to have invested in the Unisys Common Stock Fund in accordance with Section 6.01, regardless of age.

6.03 Investment Funds. The Investment Funds available under the Plan (other than the Unisys Common Stock Fund) shall be designated by, and at the sole discretion of, the Investment Committee, provided that, effective January 13, 2011, in no event shall there be more than 25 Investment Funds available under the Plan, including the Unisys Common Stock Fund as provided in Section 6.05, and one or more life-cycle or target-retirement-date funds whose assets are allocated based on each such fund’s target date. The Investment Committee, at its sole discretion, may from time to time designate or establish new investment funds or eliminate existing Investment Funds (other than the Unisys Common Stock Fund). Investment in any Investment Fund shall be made in accordance with rules formulated by the Investment Committee and the accounting procedures applied under the Plan shall be modified by the Investment Committee to the extent they deem appropriate to reflect investments in that Investment Fund. The Investment Committee has the authority to select and appoint Investment Managers. The Investment Funds may be managed by the Trustee or an Investment Manager. Pending investment, reinvestment or distribution, as provided in the Plan, the Trustee or Investment Manager may temporarily retain the assets of any one or more Investment Funds in cash, commercial paper, short-term government obligations or, unless otherwise directed by the Investment Committee, undivided interests or participations in common or collective funds consisting of short-term investments, including funds of the Trustee or Investment Manager.

6.04 Valuation of the Fund. As of each Valuation Date, any increase or decrease in the fair market value of each Investment Fund (net after deduction of liabilities) since the preceding Valuation Date shall be credited to or deducted from the Accounts, if any, of each Participant. The allocation for each Investment Fund shall be made in the proportion that the balance in each Account invested in the Investment Fund as of the Valuation Date bears to the aggregate balance in all Accounts invested in the Investment Fund on that date. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the Employer’s contributions to the Plan for the current year shall be excluded. The fair market value of investments shall be determined in accordance with any reasonable method permitted under regulations prescribed by the United States Department of the Treasury and such reasonable and uniform rules as the Trustee may adopt.

6.05 Unisys Common Stock Fund. The Investment Funds under the Plan shall include the Unisys Common Stock Fund, which is an Investment Fund providing for investment and reinvestment exclusively in Unisys Stock, except to the extent cash is held to facilitate purchases and sales within the fund. Investments in the Unisys Common Stock Fund shall be accounted for on the basis of units of the Unisys

 

28


Common Stock Fund. Shares of Unisys Stock and cash received by the Unisys Common Stock Fund that are attributable to dividends, stock dividends, stock splits or to any reorganization or recapitalization of Unisys Corporation shall remain in or be invested in, as applicable, the Unisys Common Stock Fund and allocated to the Participant Accounts in proportion to the number of units of the Unisys Common Stock Fund held in such accounts. The transfer taxes, brokerage fees and other expenses incurred in connection with the purchase, sale or distribution of Unisys Stock, including Unisys Stock contributed as Matching Contributions, shall be paid by the Unisys Common Stock Fund. In addition, the Unisys Common Stock Fund shall bear any other administrative fees and expenses incurred by the Plan in connection with the transfer of the Participant’s interest in the Unisys Common Stock Fund. The voting and tendering of Unisys Stock held in the Unisys Common Stock Fund shall be subject to the following:

(a) For purposes of this Section, shares of Unisys Stock shall be deemed to be allocated and credited to each applicable Account of the Participant in an amount to be determined based on the balance in such account on the accounting date coincident with or next preceding the record date of any vote or tender offer and the closing price of Unisys Stock on such accounting date or if not traded on that date, on the business day on which shares of Unisys Stock were last traded before that accounting date.

(b) Each Participant who has any amounts under his Account invested in the Unisys Common Stock Fund shall be given notice by the Trustee of the date and purpose of each meeting of the stockholders of the Company at which shares of Unisys Stock are entitled to be voted, and instructions shall be requested from each such Participant as to the voting at the meeting of such Unisys Stock. If the Participant furnishes instructions within the time specified in the notification given to him, the Trustee shall vote such Unisys Stock in accordance with the Participant’s instructions. Shares of Unisys Stock that have not been credited to any Participant’s Account or for which no instructions were timely received by the Trustees, whether or not credited to the Account of any Participant shall be voted by the Trustee in the same proportion that the allocated and voted shares of Unisys Stock have been voted by Participants. The Investment Committee shall establish procedures under which notices shall be furnished to Participants as required by this subsection (b) and under which the Participants’ instructions shall be furnished to the Trustee.

(c) Each Participant who has any amounts under his Account invested in the Unisys Common Stock Fund shall be given notice of any tender offer for, or a request or invitation for tenders of, Unisys Stock made to the Trustees. Instructions shall be requested from each such Participant as to the tendering of shares of Unisys Stock credited to his Account and for this purpose Participants shall be provided with a reasonable period of time in which they may consider any such tender offer for, or request or invitation for tenders of, Unisys Stock made to the Trustees. The Trustees shall tender such Unisys Stock as to which the Trustees have received instructions to tender from Participants within the time specified. Unisys Stock credited to an Account as to which the Trustee has not received instructions from a Participant shall not be tendered. Shares of stock that have not been credited to any Participant’s Account

 

29


shall be tendered by the Trustee in the same proportion that the allocated and tendered shares of Unisys Stock have been tendered by Participants. The Investment Committee shall establish procedures under which notices shall be furnished to Participants as required by this subsection (c) and under which the Participants’ instructions shall be furnished to the Trustee. In carrying out their responsibilities under this subsection (c) the Trustees may rely on information furnished to them by (or under procedures established by) the Investment Committee.

(d) For all purposes of this Section 6.05, the number of shares of Unisys Stock held in a Participant’s Account which are invested in the Unisys Common Stock Fund shall be the number of shares of Unisys Stock represented by the number of units held in such accounts after reducing such number of units by the number of units in such accounts which represent cash.

(e) With respect to Participants subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Investment Committee shall apply any requirements or restrictions required for the Plan to obtain the protections of Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or any successor Rule or regulation intended to replace Rule 16b-3.

6.06 Special Rule Regarding Appraisal of Unisys Stock. If at any time the Unisys Stock held by the ESOP Portion of the Plan is not readily tradable on an established securities market, all valuations of such Unisys Stock with respect to activities carried on by the Plan shall be made by an independent appraiser meeting the requirements of section 401(a)(28) of the Code.

6.07 Section 404(c) Compliance. The Plan is intended to constitute a plan described in section 404(c) of ERISA and section 2550.404c-1 of the United States Department of Labor regulations. Thus, no fiduciary of the Plan shall be liable for any loss, or by reason of any breach, which results from any investment direction made by a Participant, Beneficiary or alternate payee under a Qualified Domestic Relations Order. The Company or its delegate shall comply with, or monitor compliance with, as required, all disclosure and other responsibilities described in sections 2550.404c-1(b)(2)(i)(A) and (b)(2)(i)(B)(1) of the United States Department of Labor regulations except that the Trustee shall monitor compliance with those procedures established to provide confidentiality of information relating to the exercise of voting and tender rights by Participants. If the Company determines that a situation has potential for undue influence by the Company, the Company shall direct an independent party to perform such activities as are necessary to ensure the confidentiality of the rights of Participants.

7.01 Vesting Schedule.

(a) A Participant shall at all times be fully vested in the balance of his After-Tax Account, Tax Deferred Account, GPEP Account, Tax Deductible Contribution Account, and Rollover Account.

(b) A Participant employed by an Employer on or after January 1, 2000 shall be fully vested in his ESOP Account and Regular Account. Before January 1, 2000, a Participant generally was fully vested in his ESOP Account and Regular Account upon his completion of a five-year period of Service; provided, however, that:

(1) a Participant who was formerly a participant in CTIP who incurs a Severance from Employment after October 1, 1992 was at all times fully vested in his Regular Account and ESOP Account.

(2) a Participant who was formerly a participant in the Burroughs Plan who incurred a Termination of Employment after March 31, 1988, before being credited with five years of Service, or who incurred a Termination of Employment on or before March 31, 1988, before being credited with ten years of Service, shall continue to be vested in the portion of his Account, if any, attributable to his vested matching contributions previously made under the Burroughs Plan in accordance with the terms of the Burroughs Plan on March 31, 1988.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, a Participant shall be 100% vested in his ESOP and Regular Account upon the earliest of his attainment of Normal Retirement Age or death, regardless of the number of his years of Service if such event occurs prior to his Termination of Employment.

Effective January 1, 2007, a Participant shall be treated as in the employment of the Employer or an Affiliate for purposes of the accelerated vesting provisions set forth herein if he or she is absent from employment due to performing qualified military service under section 414(u) of the Code and dies during such absence from employment.

7.02 Forfeitures.

(a) The unvested portion of a Participant’s Accounts shall be forfeited as of the earlier of the date described in paragraphs (1) and (2) below:

(1) as of the last day of the Plan Year in which a Participant incurs a Period of Severance equal to five consecutive years;

(2) the last day of the Plan Year in which the Participant receives a distribution of his vested interest under the Plan.

(b) For purposes of subsection (a), a Participant who terminates employment with the Employer and all Affiliates and has no vested interest in his Accounts at such time, shall be deemed to have received a single sum payment of his entire vested interest in his Accounts as of the date of his Termination of Employment. Restorations pursuant to this subsection (b) shall be made from currently forfeited accounts in accordance with subsection (d), or from additional contributions by the Employer.

 

31


(c) If a Participant whose unvested Account balance is forfeited in accordance with this Section 7.02 is rehired by the Company, an Affiliate, or an Associated Company before incurring a five-year Period of Severance, any amount forfeited under this Section 7.02 shall be restored to his Accounts. Restorations pursuant to this subsection (c) shall be made from currently forfeited amounts in accordance with subsection (d) or from additional contributions by the Employer.

(d) Amounts forfeited in accordance with this Section 7.02 with respect to a Plan Year shall be used first to restore future amounts required to be restored in accordance with subsections (b) or (c) with respect to the Plan Year. After such restoration, if any, is made, such amounts shall be used to reduce the Matching Contribution of the Employer of the Employee to whom the forfeiture relates or pay Plan expenses.

PAYMENT AND FORM OF BENEFITS

9.01 Form of Benefit Paid to Participant.

(a) Unless a Participant elects otherwise in accordance with subsection (b), any benefit due a Participant under Article IX shall be paid in a single sum, subject to 9.04. If the vested Account balance to which a Participant is entitled is zero as of the date of the Participant’s Severance from Employment, such Participant shall be deemed to have received a single sum payment of his entire vested Account balance under the Plan as of such date.

(b) If a Participant’s vested Account balance exceeds $1,000 as of his Benefit Commencement Date, he may, in lieu of the single sum payment prescribed under subsection (a), elect an optional form of distribution; provided that such election must be in writing and be made within the Notice Period in the manner prescribed by the Plan

 

32


Manager. Effective January 1, 2007, the Participant shall be provided with information regarding the consequences of failing to defer distribution of his vested Account balance until such later date as permitted under the Plan. The optional forms of distribution among which a Participant may elect shall be determined as follows:

(1) for periods prior to January 1, 2012, an annuity as described below:

(A) Unless an optional form of annuity is elected under paragraph (B), the normal form of an annuity for a married participant is a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity and the normal form of annuity for an unmarried participant is a single life annuity.

(B) Subject to the election requirements described in this paragraph (B), a Participant described under this paragraph (B) may elect to receive one of the following forms of annuities in lieu of the normal form of annuity described under paragraph (A):

(i) a reduced monthly pension payable to the Participant for life and after his death, 50% to his Beneficiary for life; or

(ii) a single life annuity; or

(iii) effective January 1, 2008, a reduced monthly pension payable to the Participant for life and after his death, 75% to his surviving Spouse for life (this option is available only to married Participants) .

An election under this paragraph (B) is only valid if (i) it is in writing, (ii) it is made within the Notice Period, and (iii) the Participant’s Spouse, if any, consents to the form of benefit in writing and such consent is witnessed by a notary public or an authorized representative of the Plan. Such election will not be valid, however, if it is made before the Participant receives, within the Notice Period, an explanation from the Plan Manager of (i) the terms and conditions of the normal form of annuity and the other forms of benefit available to him under the Plan, (ii) the Participant’s ability to make, and the effect of, an election to waive the normal form of annuity, (iii) to the extent applicable, the rights of the Participant’s Spouse; and (iv) the Participant’s ability to make, and the effect of, a revocation of a previous waiver of the normal form of annuity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the consent of the Participant’s Spouse is not required if the Participant elects option (iii) above.

Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, the optional form of distribution described in this subsection (b)(1) shall not apply on or after January 1, 2012.

(2) monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual installments payable over a period of no less than one-year and no greater than 20 years.

 

33


9.02 Benefit Commencement Date.

(a) Except as provided under this Article IX, if the Participant’s vested Account balance as of his Benefit Commencement Date does not exceed $1,000, his benefit under the Plan shall be paid in a single sum as soon as administratively practicable following the Valuation Date coinciding with or next following date of the Participant’s termination of employment with Employer.

(b) Except as otherwise provided under this Article IX, if the Participant’s vested Account balance as of his Benefit Commencement Date is greater than $1,000, the benefit payable to a Participant in accordance with Article VIII shall be paid or commence as of the first day of the month following the Participant’s attainment of Normal Retirement Age. If the Participant’s Severance from Employment occurs before his attainment of Normal Retirement Age, however, the Participant may elect, in writing, to have his benefit paid or commence on the first day of any month following the month in which his Severance from Employment occurred.

9.03 Form and Payment of Death Benefit. A Participant shall designate a Beneficiary or Beneficiaries to receive any benefits which may be payable under the Plan in the event of his death. If the vested Account balance to which a Beneficiary is entitled is $1,000 or less, such amount shall be paid in a single sum, subject to Section 9.04. If the Account balance payable upon a Participant’s death is zero, the Participant’s Beneficiary shall be deemed to have received a single sum payment of the Participant’s entire Account balance under the Plan or on the date of the Participant’s death. If the vested Account balance exceeds $1,000, the form of the death benefit shall be determined as follows:

(a) If a married Participant dies before his Benefit Commencement Date:

(1) prior to January 1, 2012, if the Participant dies after electing an annuity payment in accordance with Section 9.01(b) and his sole Beneficiary is his surviving Spouse, unless his surviving Spouse elects otherwise in accordance with subsection (b), the Participant’s vested Account balance shall be paid to his surviving Spouse in the form of a single life annuity;

(2) if (A) a Participant is unmarried at the time of his death, or (B) is married but either (i) prior to January 1, 2012, did not elect an annuity form of payment under Section 9.01(b) of the Plan prior to his death, or (ii) designated a Beneficiary other than or in addition to his Spouse, the Participant’s vested Account balance shall be paid to his Beneficiary in a single sum, subject to Section 9.04.

(b) If a Participant dies before his Benefit Commencement Date, his Beneficiary may elect one of the following forms of payment in lieu of the form described under subsection (a):

(1) an immediately payable single sum;

(2) for periods prior to January 1, 2012, a single life annuity; or

 

34


(3) monthly installment payments over a period of no less than the life expectancy of the Beneficiary.

(c) If a Participant dies on or after his Benefit Commencement Date but before the entire amount of his benefit has been paid, the remaining amount shall be paid to his Beneficiary in the form and over the period being used at the Participant’s date of death.

With respect to a Benefit Commencement Date beginning before March 22, 1999, the $1,000 threshold under this Section 9.03 shall take into account all amounts withdrawn or distributed prior to such Benefit Commencement Date.

9.04 Form of Single Sum Distributions. If a benefit under the Plan is payable in a single sum, such amount shall generally be paid in cash. However, a Participant or Beneficiary entitled to a distribution may elect, in the form and manner prescribed by the Plan Manager, to receive the vested balance of the Account invested in the Unisys Common Stock Fund in the form of whole shares of Unisys Stock (and cash with respect to fractional shares). Before any distribution is made from the Plan in a single sum, the portion of a Participant’s ESOP Account that has been invested in Investment Funds other than the Unisys Common Stock Fund, shall be automatically reinvested in the Unisys Common Stock Fund before distribution.

9.05 Put Options. If the Unisys Stock held under the ESOP Portion of the Plan is not readily tradable on an established securities market (within the meaning of section 409(h)(1)(B) of the Code), any Participant who is entitled to a distribution of such shares from the Plan shall have a right to require the Company to repurchase such shares in accordance with section 409(h)(1)(B) of the Code. Unisys Stock held under the ESOP Portion of the Plan shall not be subject to a put, call, or other option, or a buy-sell or similar arrangement either while held by the Plan or when distributed to or on account of a Participant whether or not the Plan is then an Employee Stock Ownership Plan.

9.06 Direct Rollovers. In the event any payment or payments to be made under the Plan to a Participant, a Beneficiary who is the surviving Spouse of a Participant, or an alternate payee who is the former spouse of a Participant, would constitute an “eligible rollover distribution,” such individual may request that such payment or payments be transferred directly from the Plan to the trustee of an “eligible retirement plan.” Any such request shall be made in writing, on the form prescribed by the Plan Manager for such purpose, at such time in advance as the Plan Manager may specify.

For purposes of Section 9.06, an “eligible rollover distribution” shall mean a distribution from the Plan, excluding (1) any distribution that is one of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently than annually) over the life (or life expectancy) of the individual, the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the individual and the individual’s designated Beneficiary, or a specified period of ten or more years, (2) any distribution to the extent such distribution is required under section 401(a)(9) of the Code, (3) any hardship distribution described in section 401(k)(2)(B)(i)(IV) of the Code;

 

35


and (4) any other distribution that does not qualify as eligible for rollover. A portion of a distribution shall not fail to be an eligible rollover distribution merely because the portion consists of After-Tax Contributions which are not includible in gross income. The nontaxable portion of an “eligible rollover distribution” may be rolled over tax-free to an eligible rollover plan as specified below if the eligible rollover plan provides for separate accounting of the amount transferred and earnings on such amounts.

For purposes of Section 9.06, an “eligible retirement plan” shall mean (i) an individual retirement account described in section 408(a) of the Code, (ii) an individual retirement annuity described in section 408(b) of the Code (other than an endowment contract), (iii) an annuity plan described in section 403(a) of the Code, (iv) a qualified plan under section 401(a) of the Code, the terms of which permit the acceptance of rollover distributions, (v) an eligible deferred compensation plan described in section 457(b) of the Code that is maintained by an eligible employer described in section 457(e)(i)(A) of the Code that shall separately account for the distribution, or (vi) an annuity contract described in section 403(b) of the Code; provided, however, that with respect to a distribution (or portion of a distribution) consisting of After-Tax Contributions, “eligible rollover plan” shall mean a plan described in clause (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (vi) effective January 1, 2007.

Effective January 1, 2008, a “qualified rollover contribution” as described in section 408A(e) of the Code may be made from the Plan to a Roth individual retirement account in a direct rollover subject to the rules set forth in section 408A of the Code and any regulations issued there under.

Effective April 15, 2009, any distribution of benefits to the Beneficiary of a deceased Participant who is not the surviving Spouse of the Participant may be transferred in a direct transfer to an individual retirement account or annuity under sections 408(a) and (b) of the Code established for the purpose of receiving such distribution and which will be treated as an inherited individual retirement account pursuant to the provisions of section 402(c)(11) of the Code, if such distribution otherwise meets the requirements set forth above. Such direct rollover of a distribution by a nonspouse Beneficiary shall be treated as an eligible rollover distribution only for purposes of section 402(c) of the Code. An eligible retirement plan shall include an individual retirement account or annuity under sections 408(a) and (b) of the Code established for the purpose of receiving a distribution that is rolled over from a nonspouse distributee, but only if the conditions set forth herein above are satisfied. Distributee shall include a nonspouse Beneficiary, but only if the conditions set forth above are satisfied.

9.07 Minimum Required Distribution. If a Participant is a 5% owner of the Employer (as determined under section 416 of the Code), or if a Participant attained age 70 1/2 before January 1, 2002, he or she shall receive, with respect to each calendar year during which and following the calendar year in which he attained age 70 1/2, the minimum required distribution amount described under section 401(a)(9) of the Code and the regulations thereunder. In no event shall the first minimum required distribution be made later than the April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which he attained age 70 1/2. The amount of such distribution shall be determined in

 

36


accordance with section 401(a)(9) of the Code and the regulations thereunder. The amount of minimum required distributions for calendar years prior to 2003 shall be determined and made in accordance with the regulations under section 401(a)(9) of the Code that were proposed in 1987, including the minimum distribution incidental benefit requirement of section 1.401(a)(9)-2 of the proposed regulations. The amount of minimum required distributions for the 2003 calendar year and thereafter shall be determined and made in accordance with the final regulations promulgated under section 401(a)(9) of the Code, including the minimum distribution incidental benefit requirement of Q&A-1(d) of section 1.401(a)(9)-5 of the final regulations.

9.08 Required Minimum Distributions for 2009. Notwithstanding Sections 9.07 or 14.04, a Participant or Beneficiary who would have been required to receive required minimum distributions for 2009 but for the enactment of section 401(a)(9)(H) of the Code (“2009 RMDs”), and who would have satisfied that requirement by receiving distributions that are (1) equal to the 2009 RMDs or (2) one or more payments in a series of substantially equal distributions (that include the 2009 RMDs) made at least annually and expected to last for the life (or life expectancy) of the Participant, the joint lives (or joint life expectancy) of the Participant and the Participant’s designated Beneficiary, or for a period of at least 10 years (“Extended 2009 RMDs”), shall not receive those distributions for 2009. A Direct Rollover shall be offered only for distributions that would be Eligible Rollover Distributions without regard to section 401(a)(9)(H) of the Code.

(1) the amount of the withdrawal does not exceed the amount required to satisfy the immediate and heavy financial need;

(2) the Participant has obtained all available withdrawals and distributions from his Regular Account, ESOP Account, GPEP Account, Tax Deductible Contribution Account, Rollover Account, and After-Tax Contribution Account; and

If a Participant elects to take a distribution pursuant to the foregoing, he or she shall be precluded from electing to have the Employer contribute Tax Deferred Contributions from his or her Compensation on his or her behalf to the Plan for six months following the date of the distribution.

10.10 Loans to Participants. The Plan Manager may, in his discretion, cause the Plan to lend to any qualified Participant an amount, as requested by the Participant, from his Accounts (excluding amounts held in his Tax Deductible Contribution Account or GPEP Account), upon such terms as the Plan Manager may see fit and, if applicable, in accordance with Appendix B.

(2) the greater of $10,000, or one-half of the value of the vested portion of the Employee’s accounts under all plans maintained by the Employer and all Affiliates.

 

40


For purposes of determining the maximum amount of a loan under this subsection (b), the balance of a Participant’s Tax Deductible Contribution Account and GPEP Account shall be disregarded. The minimum amount of any loan made to a Participant shall be set by the Plan Manager from time to time, in a uniform and nondiscriminatory manner. A Participant may not have more than one loan outstanding at any time.

(c) Loan Term; Interest Rates. Each loan shall be repaid within no less than one year and no more than five years from the date the loan is made, unless the loan proceeds are used to acquire a dwelling that is to be used as the Participant’s principal residence, in which event the term of the loan may not be more than fifteen years.

(d) Other Loan Requirements. The amount lent to any Participant shall be debited against all of the Participant’s Accounts from which the loan may be made (as determined under subsection (a)) such that the amount of the loan is prorated among such Accounts on the basis of the balance of each Account at the time the loan is made, and the interest paid to the Trustee by the Participant on the loan shall be allocated to such Accounts and to the Account of no other Participant. The amount of any loan, including accrued interest, un-repaid at the time a Participant or his Beneficiary becomes entitled to a distribution under Article IX shall be deducted from the amount otherwise distributable to the Participant or Beneficiary. No note or other document evidencing a loan shall be negotiable or otherwise assignable.

(g) Repayment. Loans shall be repaid in equal installments (not less frequently than quarterly) through payroll withholding or, in the case of a Participant’s unpaid authorized leave of absence or lay-off, by personal check. A Participant may fully repay the loan at any time without penalty. Loans shall become immediately due and payable upon a Participant’s Termination of Employment, retirement or death.

(h) Loan Security and Documentation. A loan shall be evidenced by a written document containing such terms and conditions as the Plan Manager shall determine, and shall be secured by the Participant’s vested interest in his Accounts (other than his Tax Deductible Contributions Account).

The Plan Manager, and the Administrative Committee and Investment Committee may enact such rules and regulations for the conduct of their business and for the administration of the Plan, as each may deem desirable. The Administrative Committee and Investment Committee may act either at meetings at which a majority of its members are present or by a writing signed by a majority of its members without the holding of a meeting. Records shall be kept of the meetings and actions of the Administrative Committee and the Investment Committee, and of the actions of the Plan Manager. Neither the Plan Manager, nor any Administrative Committee or Investment Committee member who is a Participant in the Plan shall vote upon, or take an active role in resolving, any question affecting only his Accounts.

 

43


12.05 Indemnification of the Plan Manager and Committees. The Plan Manager and each member of the Administrative Committee and the Investment Committee shall be indemnified by the Company against costs, expenses and liabilities (other than amounts paid in settlement to which the Company does not consent) reasonably incurred by him in connection with any action to which he may be a party by reason of his service as Plan Manager or a member of the Administrative Committee or Investment Committee except in relation to matters as to which he shall be adjudged in such action to be personally guilty of willful misconduct in the performance of his duties. The foregoing right to indemnification shall be in addition to such other rights as the Plan Manager or the member of the Administrative Committee or Investment Committee may enjoy as a matter of law or by reason of insurance coverage of any kind, but shall not extend to costs, expenses and/or liabilities otherwise covered by insurance or that would be so covered by any insurance then in force if such insurance contained a waiver of subrogation. Rights granted hereunder shall be in addition to and not in lieu of any rights to indemnification to which the Plan Manager or the member of the Administrative Committee or Investment Committee may be entitled pursuant to the bylaws of the Company. Service as Plan Manager or as a member of the Administrative Committee or Investment Committee shall be deemed in partial fulfillment of the member’s function as an employee, officer or director of the Employer, if he serves in that capacity as well as in the role of Plan Manager or a member of the Administrative Committee or Investment Committee.

12.06 Exclusive Benefit Rule. The Plan Manager and the Administrative Committee and Investment Committee shall administer the Plan for the exclusive purpose of (a) providing benefits to Participants and their Beneficiaries and (b) defraying reasonable expenses of administering the Plan.

12.07 Consultants. The Plan Manager and the Administrative Committee and Investment Committee may, and to the extent required for the preparation of reports shall, employ accountants, actuaries, attorneys and other consultants or advisors. The fees charged by such accountants, actuaries, attorneys and other consultants or advisors shall represent reasonable compensation for services rendered and shall be paid from the Fund unless paid by the Employer.

12.08 Payment of Plan Expenses. The expenses incurred by the Employer in connection with the operation of the Plan, including, but not limited to, expenses incurred by reason of the engagement of professional assistants and consultants, shall be expenses of the Plan and shall be payable by the Plan at the direction of the Plan Manager. The Employer shall have the option, but not the obligation, to pay any such expenses, in whole or in part, and, by so doing, to relieve the Plan from the obligation of bearing such expenses. Payment of any such expenses by the Employer on one occasion shall not bind the Employer to pay any similar expenses on any subsequent occasion. For the purpose of administrative convenience, the Employer may pay certain expenses otherwise payable by the Plan, for which it shall seek reimbursement by the Trustee from the assets held in the Fund.

 

44


12.09 Method of Handling Plan Funds. All payments to the Fund shall be made by the employee of the Employer charged with that responsibility by the Board. All payments from the Fund shall be made by the Trustee.

12.10 Delegation and Allocation of Responsibility. To the extent permitted under the terms of the Trust Agreement or applicable law, the Trustee and any named fiduciary of the Plan may, by unanimous action in writing, delegate or assign any of its responsibilities for administering the Plan to one or more individuals or entities. In the event of any such delegation or allocation, the Trustee or any named fiduciary, as applicable, shall establish procedures for the thorough and frequent review of the performance of such duties. Persons to whom responsibilities have been delegated may not delegate to others any discretionary authority or discretionary control with respect to the management or administration of the Plan.

12.11 Claims Procedures.

(a) Initial Claim. In the event of a claim by a Participant or his or her Beneficiary with respect to the Plan, such claimant (himself or through his authorized representative) shall present his or her claim in writing to the Administrative Committee or its designee. The Administrative Committee or its designee shall, within 90 days after receipt of such written claim, make a determination and send a written or electronic notification to the claimant as to its disposition. If the Administrative Committee or its designee determines that special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the claim, the Administrative Committee or its designee shall be allowed an extension of time not to exceed 90 days from the end of the initial period and shall so notify the claimant in writing prior to the termination of the initial 90-day period, and shall indicate the special circumstances requiring an extension of time and the date by which to expect the benefit determination. In the event the claim is wholly or partially denied, such notification shall:

(1) state the specific reason or reasons for the denial;

(2) make reference to the specific provisions of the Plan upon which the denial is based;

(3) provide a description of any additional material or information necessary for the claimant to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary;

(4) set forth the procedure by which the claimant may appeal the denial of his or her claim and the applicable time limitations; and

(5) a statement of the claimant’s rights to bring a civil action under section 502(a) of ERISA following an adverse benefit determination on appeal.

 

45


(b) Review of Denial. In the event a claimant wishes to appeal the denial of his claim, the claimant (or his or her authorized representative) may request a review of such denial by making application in writing to the Administrative Committee within 60 days after receipt of such denial. Such review will take into account all comments, documents, records, and other information submitted by the claimant relating to the claim, without regard to whether such information was submitted or considered in the initial benefit determination. Such claimant (or his or her duly authorized representative) may, upon written request to the Administrative Committee and free of charge, have reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to the claim for benefits. In addition, the claimant or his authorized representative may submit to the Administrative Committee written comments, documents, records and other information related to the claim for benefits. Appeals not timely filed shall be barred. Within 60 days after receipt of a written appeal, the Administrative Committee shall make a determination and notify the claimant of its final decision. If the Administrative Committee determines that special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the claim, the Administrative Committee shall be allowed an extension of time of up to an additional 60 days and shall so notify the claimant in writing (prior to the end of the initial period) the reason or reasons for such extension and the date by which a decision is expected. The final decision on review shall contain:

(1) specific reasons therefor;

(2) reference to the specific Plan provisions upon which it is based;

(3) a description of the claimant’s right to receive, upon written request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to the claim for benefits;

(4) a description of any voluntary appeals procedures offered by the Plan; and

(5) a statement of the claimant’s rights to bring a civil action under section 502(a) of ERISA.

If the Administrative Committee has not exceeded the time limitations set forth in this Section 12.11, the decision shall be final and conclusive on all persons claiming benefits under the Plan, subject to applicable law. If the claimant challenges the decision of the Administrative Committee, a review by a court of law shall be limited to the facts, evidence, and issues presented during the claims and appeals procedure set forth above. The claims and appeals process described herein must be exhausted before the claimant can pursue the claim in federal court. Facts and evidence that become known to the claimant after having exhausted the review procedure may be submitted for reconsideration of the review decision in accordance with the time limits established above. Issues not raised during the review process shall be deemed waived.

 

46


(c) Exhaustion of Claims Procedures and Time Period for Bringing a Lawsuit. A claim or action (1) to recover benefits allegedly due under the provisions of the Plan or by reason of any law (including, without limitation, a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA), (2) to enforce rights under the Plan, (3) to clarify rights to future benefits under the Plan, or (4) any other claim or action that relates to the Plan and seeks a remedy, ruling, or judgment of any kind against the Plan or a Plan fiduciary or party in interest may not be filed in any court until the claimant has exhausted the Plan’s claim and appeal process for any and all reasons the claimant believes his claim should be approved. In addition, any such claim or action must be filed no later than one year after, as appropriate, the earliest to occur of the following: the date the first benefit payment was made or due, the date the Administrative Committee or its delegate first denied the claimant’s request on appeal, or the earliest date the claimant knew or should have known the material facts on which such claim or action is based. Any claim or action filed after the end of this one-year period shall be time-barred.

ARTICLE XIII

AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

13.01 Amendment. The Plan may be amended at any time and from time to time by or pursuant to a formal written action of the Board, the Compensation Committee of the Board, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and the most senior Human Resources officer of the Company acting as a committee, or the Plan Manager, subject to the following restrictions:

(a) the Plan Manager may make amendments only to the extent that they are necessary or appropriate to maintain the Plan’s compliance with the applicable statutes or regulations;

(b) the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and most senior Human Resources officer of the Company acting as a committee may make amendments only to the extent that the effect of the amendments results in an annual cost of less than $1,000,000;

(c) the Company’s Chief Executive Officer may make amendments only to the extent that the effect of the amendments results in an annual cost less than $25,000,000; and

(d) the Compensation Committee of the Board may make amendments only to the extent that the affect of the amendments results in an annual cost less than $50,000,000.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, to the extent that the Company’s Corporate Delegation of Authority Chart or other action of the Board modifies the amendatory authority described in the preceding sentence, the Plan shall be deemed to have been amended in accordance with the Delegation of Authority Chart or such Board action. In no event shall an amendment be effective to the extent that it has the effect of decreasing the balance of a Participant’s Account or eliminating an optional form of

 

47


benefit payment for benefits attributable to service before the later of the date the amendment is adopted or the date it becomes effective, except to the extent permissible under section 411(d)(6) of the Code and the regulations thereunder. If the vesting schedule of the Plan is amended, the nonforfeitable interest of a Participant in his Accounts, determined as of the later of the date the amendment is adopted or the date it becomes effective, shall not be less than the Participant’s nonforfeitable interest in his Accounts determined without regard to such amendment. If the Plan’s vesting schedule is amended, each Participant with three or more Years of Service may elect to have the nonforfeitable percentage of his Accounts computed under the Plan without regard to such amendment. The Participant’s election shall be made within 60 days after the latest of (1) the date the amendment is adopted, (2) the date the amendment becomes effective, or (3) the date the Participant is given written notice of the amendment by the Board or the Trustee.

13.02 Termination or Partial Termination.

(a) Right to Terminate Reserved. While the Company intends to continue the Plan indefinitely, it reserves the right to terminate the Plan at any time by formal written action of the Board. Further, any Employer may, at any time for any reason, withdraw from participation in the Plan, in whole or in part, by action of its governing board.

(b) Treatment of Participants Upon Termination. If the Plan is terminated or partially terminated, Accrued Benefits of the Participants affected thereby shall immediately vest and be nonforfeitable, to the extent funded. No employees of such Employer who are not then Participants may thereafter be admitted to the Plan, and the Employer shall make no further contributions to the Fund.

(c) Liability of Employer. The Employer shall have no liability in respect of payment under the Plan, except to pay over to the Trustee the contributions otherwise required under the Plan, and each Participant, his Beneficiary or alternate payee shall look solely to the Trust for distribution of benefits under the Plan.

(d) Successor Employers. Unless this Plan is terminated earlier, a successor employer of the Employees of the Employer may continue this Plan and Trust by joining with the Trustee in executing an appropriate supplemental agreement. Such successor employer shall ipso facto succeed to all the rights, powers, and duties of the Employer hereunder. In such event, the Plan shall not be deemed to have terminated and the employment of any Employee who is continued in the employ of such successor Employer shall be deemed not to have been terminated or severed for any purposes hereunder.

 

48


ARTICLE XIV

MISCELLANEOUS

14.01 Merger, Consolidation or Transfer of Assets or Liabilities. The Company reserves the right to merge or consolidate the Plan with any other defined contribution plan qualified under section 401(a) of the Code, or to transfer Plan assets or liabilities to any other qualified defined contribution plan, provided that the amount standing to the credit of each Participant’s, Beneficiary’s and alternate payee’s Accounts immediately after any such merger, consolidation or transfer of assets or liabilities shall be at least equal to the amount standing to the credit of the Participant’s, Beneficiary’s and alternate payee’s Accounts immediately before such merger, consolidation or transfer, determined as if the Plan had then terminated.

14.02 Limited Purpose of Plan. The establishment or existence of the Plan shall not confer upon any Employee the right to be continued as an Employee. The Employer expressly reserves the right to discharge any Employee whenever in its judgment its best interests so require.

14.03 Nonalienation. No benefit payable under the Plan shall be subject in any manner to anticipation, assignment, or voluntary or involuntary alienation. This Section 14.03 shall not preclude the Trustee from complying with the terms of (a) a Qualified Domestic Relations Order, (b) a federal tax levy made pursuant to section 6331 of the Code, (c) subject to section 401(a)(13) of the Code, a judgment relating to the Participant’s conviction of a crime involving the Plan, or (d) subject to section 401(a)(13) of the Code, a judgment, order, decree, or settlement agreement between the Participant and the United States Department of Labor relating to a violation (or an alleged violation) of part 4 subtitle B of Title I of ERISA.

14.04 General Distribution Requirements. All distributions under the Plan shall be determined and made in accordance with the minimum distribution incidental death benefit requirements of the regulations under section 401(a)(9) of the Code. Effective prior to January 1, 2003, all distributions shall be determined and made in accordance with the minimum distribution requirements of the regulations under section 401(a)(9) of the Code that were proposed in 1987, including the minimum distribution incidental benefit requirement of section 1.401(a)(9)-2 of the proposed regulations. Effective January 1, 2003, all distributions shall be determined and made in accordance with the final regulations promulgated under section 401(a)(9) of the Code, including the minimum distribution incidental benefit requirement of Q&A-1(d) of section 1.401(a)(9)-5 of the final regulations; provided, however, that the amount of any payments made to a Participant with a Benefit Commencement Date prior to January 1, 2003 shall not be decreased by the application of the final regulations.

14.05 Facility of Payment. If the Plan Manager, in his sole discretion, deems a Participant, Beneficiary or alternate payee who is entitled to receive any payment hereunder to be incompetent to receive the same by reason of age, illness, infirmity or incapacity of any kind, the Plan Manager may direct the Trustee to apply such payment directly for the benefit of such person, or to make payment to any person selected by the Plan Manager to disburse the same for the benefit of the Participant, Beneficiary or alternate payee. Payments made pursuant to this Section 14.05 shall operate as a discharge, to the extent thereof, of all liabilities of the Employer, the Trustee, the Administrative Committee, the Plan Manager and the Fund to the person for whose benefit the payments are made.

 

49


14.06 Impossibility of Diversion. All Plan assets shall be held as part of the Fund until paid to satisfy allowable Plan expenses or to provide benefits to Participants, their Beneficiaries or alternate payees. It shall be impossible, unless Section 4.10, 14.07 or 14.10 applies, for any part of the fund to be used for, or diverted to, purposes other than the exclusive benefit of the Participants, their Beneficiaries or alternate payees or the payment of the reasonable expenses of the administration of the Plan or of the Fund or both, and the Fund shall continue for such time as may be necessary to accomplish the purposes for which it was established.

14.07 Unclaimed Benefits. If a Participant or Beneficiary to whom a benefit is payable under the Plan cannot be located following a reasonable effort to do so by the Trustee, such benefit shall be forfeited but shall be reinstated if a claim therefor is filed by the Participant, Beneficiary or alternate payee.

14.08 Benefit Offsets for Overpayments. If a Participant, Beneficiary or alternate payee receives benefits hereunder for any period in excess of the amount of benefits to which he was entitled under the applicable terms of the Plan, such overpayment shall be offset against current or future benefit payments, as applicable, until such time as the overpayment is entirely recouped by the Plan, as determined by the Plan Manager in his sole discretion.

14.09 Contingent Effectiveness of Plan Amendment and Restatement. The effectiveness of this amendment and restatement of the Plan shall be subject to and contingent upon a determination by the District Director of the Internal Revenue Service that the Plan and Trust continue to be qualified under the applicable provisions of the Code, so that the contributions by the Employer are deductible when made and the Trust continues to be exempt from federal income tax. If the District Director determines that the amendment and restatement adversely affect the existing qualified status of the Plan and Trust, then, upon notice to the Trustee, the Board shall have the right further to amend the Plan or to rescind the amendment and restatement.

14.10 Controlling Law. The Plan shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without regard to any choice of law provisions, to the extent not preempted by federal law, which shall otherwise control.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, and as evidence of the adoption of the Plan as amended and restated herein, Unisys Corporation has caused this instrument to be executed by its duly authorized representatives.

This Addendum amends and supplements the Plan to reflect relief granted by the Internal Revenue Service as well as relief granted under the Katrina Emergency Tax Relief Act of 2005 and the Gulf Opportunity Zone Act of 2005 for certain individuals affected by Hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Wilma.

I. Definitions. For purposes of this Addendum, the following definitions apply:

1.2 “Qualified Hurricane Katrina Participant” means an individual whose principal place of residence on August 28, 2005 was located in the Hurricane Katrina disaster area and who has sustained an economic loss by reason of Hurricane Katrina.

1.3 “Qualified Hurricane Rita Participant” means an individual whose principal place of residence on September 23, 2005 was located in the Hurricane Rita disaster area and who has sustained an economic loss by reason of Hurricane Rita.

II. Distributions.

2.1 Any Qualified Hurricane Katrina Distribution, Qualified Hurricane Rita Distribution or Qualified Hurricane Wilma Distribution, as applicable, made to a Participant pursuant to this Addendum shall not exceed the lesser of (1) $100,000 or (2) the vested portion of such Participant’s Account balance, whether or not such Participant has otherwise satisfied the requirements to receive a distribution under the Plan. However, any such distribution from this or any other Eligible Retirement Plan of the Company shall not, in the aggregate, exceed $100,000.

 

53


2.2 Any portion of a Qualified Hurricane Katrina Distribution, Qualified Hurricane Rita Distribution or Qualified Hurricane Wilma Distribution, as applicable, made to a Participant pursuant to this Addendum may be repaid by such Participant at any time during the three-year period beginning on the day after the date on which such Participant received the distribution. The repayment may be made to any Eligible Retirement Plan, regardless of the plan from which the distribution was received.

III. Loans.

3.1 A Qualified Hurricane Katrina Participant, a Qualified Hurricane Rita Participant or a Qualified Hurricane Wilma Participant may obtain a loan from the Plan (after taking into account the outstanding balance of other loans) in an amount equal to the lesser of $100,000 or 100 percent of the vested portion of the Participant’s Account (less the highest value of all other outstanding loans in the prior 12 months).

IV. Hardship Withdrawals.

4.1 A Qualified Hurricane Katrina Participant who obtained a hardship withdrawal from the Plan after February 28, 2005 and before August 29, 2005 for purchase or construction of a principal residence that was not finalized because it was in an area affected by Hurricane Katrina shall be permitted to repay all or a portion of such distribution to an Eligible Retirement Plan on or before February 28, 2006.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and

Results of Operations

Overview

In 2011, the company continued to implement its ongoing program to tighten its strategic focus, strengthen its solutions portfolio, increase the cost efficiency of services operations, and reduce debt and interest expense.

The company’s financial results in 2011 were impacted by charges related to debt reduction actions taken during the year as well as an increase in retirement-related expense. Also impacting the company’s 2011 results was a $191 million, or 23%, revenue decline in the company’s U.S. Federal government business, reflecting ongoing challenges in that market and the ending of the company’s contract with the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) in November 2010.

The company reported 2011 net income from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders of $120.5 million, or $2.71 per diluted share. The results included pretax debt-reduction charges of $85.2 million, $34.3 million in pretax pension expense, $12.5 million in U.S. 401(k) expense and $17.2 million of pretax foreign exchange gains. In 2010, the company reported net income from continuing operations of $158.9 million, or $3.67 per diluted share, which included $2.1 million of pretax debt-reduction charges, $2.9 million of pretax pension income and pretax foreign exchange losses of $43.4 million.

Revenue for 2011 declined 4% to $3.85 billion compared with $4.02 billion in 2010. The decline in the U.S. Federal government business contributed approximately 5 percentage points to the rate of decline in revenue in 2011. The company’s contract with TSA had provided approximately $117 million and $150 million of revenue in 2010 and 2009, respectively.

During 2011, the company took actions that reduced its debt by an aggregate of $464 million, or 56%. On February 28, 2011, the company sold approximately 2.6 million shares of 6.25% mandatory convertible preferred stock for net proceeds of approximately $250 million. On March 30, 2011, the company used the net proceeds from the sale of the mandatory convertible preferred stock to redeem an aggregate principal amount of $211.0 million of its senior secured notes due 2014 and 2015. On April 11, 2011, the company completed a cash tender offer and purchased an aggregate principal amount of $178.9 million of its senior secured notes due 2014 and 2015. On November 21, 2011, the company purchased in the open market $20.0 million of its 12  3/4% senior secured notes due 2014. On November 25, 2011, the company redeemed all of the remaining $65.9 million of its 8% senior notes due 2012.

Year-end 2011 debt was $360 million and cash was $715 million. The annualized interest expense attributable to the debt retired during 2011 is approximately $61 million. The annualized dividend on the mandatory convertible preferred stock is approximately $16.2 million until mandatory conversion in March 2014.

On February 1, 2012, the company called for redemption all of the remaining $25.5 million of its 14 1/4% senior secured notes due 2015 and $40.0 million of its 12.5% senior notes due 2016. The notes will be redeemed on March 2, 2012 and the company expects to recognize a charge of approximately $7 million in “Other income (expense), net” in the first quarter of 2012 in connection with the redemptions.

Results of operations

Company results

Revenue for 2011 was $3.85 billion compared with 2010 revenue of $4.02 billion, a decrease of 4%. Foreign currency had a 3-percentage-point positive impact on revenue in 2011 compared with 2010. The decline in revenue from the company’s U.S. Federal business contributed approximately 5 percentage points to the rate of decline in revenue in 2011.

Services revenue in 2011 decreased by 3%. The decline in revenue from the company’s U.S. Federal business contributed approximately 6 percentage points to the rate of decline in services revenue in 2011. Technology revenue in 2011 decreased by 11% compared with 2010.

Revenue for 2010 was $4.02 billion compared with 2009 revenue of $4.39 billion, a decrease of 8%. Approximately 2 percentage points of the revenue decline was due to the divestiture of the company’s U.S. specialized technology check sorter equipment and related U.S. maintenance business. Foreign currency had a 1-percentage-point positive impact on revenue in 2010 compared with 2009.

Revenue from international operations in 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $2.27 billion, $2.29 billion and $2.38 billion, respectively. Foreign currency had a 6-percentage-point positive impact on international revenue in 2011 compared with 2010, and a 2-percentage-point positive impact in 2010 compared with 2009. Revenue from U.S. operations was $1.58 billion in 2011, $1.73 billion in 2010 and $2.01 billion in 2009. In 2011, the company’s U.S. revenue declined 9%. The $191 million, or 23%, decline in revenue from the company’s U.S. Federal business contributed approximately 13 percentage points to the rate of decline in U.S. revenue in 2011.

Gross profit percent was 25.6% in 2011, 26.7% in 2010 and 25.4% in 2009. The decrease in gross profit percent in 2011 compared with 2010 principally reflects lower revenue and margin in the company’s U.S. Federal business. The increase in gross profit percent in 2010 compared with 2009 principally reflects a stronger mix of high-end enterprise server sales as well as the benefits derived from improved cost efficiencies in services delivery.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $586.3 million in 2011 (15.2% of revenue), $617.1 million in 2010 (15.4% of revenue) and $681.1 million in 2009 (15.5% of revenue). The decline in selling, general and administrative expenses reflects the company’s continued focus on cost reduction.

Research and development (R&D) expenses in 2011 were $76.1 million compared with $78.9 million in 2010 and $101.9 million in 2009. The decrease in R&D expense in 2010 compared with 2009 principally reflects changes in the company’s development model as the company has focused its investments on operating system software development while leveraging commodity components and offshore resources.

In 2011, the company reported an operating profit of $324.6 million compared with $375.7 million in 2010 and $330.0 million in 2009.

Pension expense for 2011 was $34.3 million compared with pension income of $2.9 million in 2010 and pension income of $23.6 million in 2009. For 2012, the company expects to recognize pension expense of approximately $102 million. The change in 2012 from 2011 is principally due to a lower discount rate and a lower expected return on plan assets in the company’s U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan. The company records pension income or expense, as well as other employee-related costs such as payroll taxes and medical insurance costs, in operating income in the following income statement categories: cost of revenue; selling, general and administrative expenses; and research and development expenses. The amount allocated to each category is based on where the salaries of active employees are charged.

Effective January 1, 2011, the company reinstated a company match to its U.S. 401(k) Savings Plan, which had been suspended effective January 1, 2009. The company matches 50 percent of the first 6 percent of eligible pay contributed by participants to the plan on a before-tax basis (subject to IRS limits). The company is currently funding and expects to continue to fund the match with the company’s common stock. The charge to income related to the company match for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $12.5 million compared with zero in 2010 and 2009.

During 2011, the company recorded a charge of $13.5 million ($6.4 million in cost of revenue and $7.1 million in other income/expense) related to the loss of an old non-income tax case concerning the company’s former Brazilian manufacturing operations. During 2011, the company also recorded $14.3 million income in other income/expense related to a favorable resolution of a Brazilian non-income tax case concerning tax on other income. During 2009, the company recorded a benefit of $11.2 million (a $5.4 million benefit in other income, a $6.1 million benefit in cost of revenue and an expense of $.3 million in selling, general and administrative expense related to legal fees) related to a 2009 change in Brazilian law involving a gross receipts tax.

Interest expense was $63.1 million in 2011, $101.8 million in 2010 and $95.2 million in 2009. The decline in 2011 from 2010 reflects the debt reductions discussed herein.

Other income (expense), net was expense of $55.5 million in 2011, compared with expense of $51.0 million in 2010 and expense of $16.6 million in 2009. Included in 2011 were charges of $85.2 million related to the debt redemptions discussed herein offset in part by income of $7.2 million related to the Brazilian matters discussed above, foreign exchange gains of $17.2 million and interest income of $15.4 million. Included in 2010 were foreign exchange losses of $43.4 million (including $19.9 million related to the Venezuelan devaluation, discussed below) and interest income of $8.3 million. Included in 2009 was income of $5.4 million related to the Brazilian law change discussed above and foreign exchange losses of $12.5 million.

Income from continuing operations before income taxes in 2011 was $206.0 million compared with income of $222.9 million in 2010 and income of $218.2 million in 2009.

The provision for income taxes in 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $64.8 million, $58.8 million and $42.3 million, respectively. The 2011, 2010 and 2009 income tax provisions include benefits due to changes in judgment about the company’s ability to realize deferred tax assets in future years resulting in a net decrease in valuation allowances of $15.2 million, $13.2 million and $28.7 million, respectively. The 2011 income tax provision includes a benefit of $28.3 million related to the settlement of two European tax matters, as well as a provision of $8.4 million due to a reduction in the UK income tax rate (see Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). The 2011 and 2009 income tax provision includes benefits of $4.2 million and $11.1 million, respectively, related to provisions in the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 permitting certain research and alternative minimum tax (AMT) credit carryforwards to be refundable and 2009 includes a tax benefit of $7.7 million related to prior year tax adjustments.

The company evaluates quarterly the realizability of its deferred tax assets by assessing its valuation allowance and by adjusting the amount of such allowance, if necessary. The company will record a tax provision or benefit for those international subsidiaries that do not have a full valuation allowance against their deferred tax assets. Any profit or loss recorded for the company’s U.S. continuing operations will have no provision or benefit associated with it due to its full valuation allowance, except with respect to benefits related to income from discontinued operations. As a result, the company’s provision or benefit for taxes will vary significantly period to period depending on the geographic distribution of income. Due to its full valuation allowance in the U.S., the health care legislation enacted during 2010 had no impact on the company’s U.S. deferred tax assets.

The realization of the company’s net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2011 is primarily dependent on forecasted future taxable income within certain foreign jurisdictions. Any reduction in estimated forecasted future taxable income may require the company to record an additional valuation allowance against the remaining deferred tax assets. Any increase or decrease in the valuation allowance would result in additional or lower income tax expense in such period and could have a significant impact on that period’s earnings.

Net income from continuing operations attributable to Unisys Corporation for 2011 was income of $120.5 million, or $2.71 per diluted common share, compared with income of $158.9 million, or $3.67 per diluted common share, in 2010 and income of $172.2 million, or income of $4.32 per diluted common share, in 2009.

In 2010, the company sold its health information management (HIM) and its Unisys Insurance Services Limited (UISL) businesses and retroactively reclassified its financial statements to report these businesses as discontinued operations. Income from discontinued operations for 2011 was zero compared with income of $77.2 million, or $1.78 per diluted common share, in 2010 and income of $17.1 million, or $.43 per diluted common share, in 2009. See Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Due to cumulative inflation of approximately 100 percent or more over the last 3-year period, the company’s Venezuelan subsidiary has applied highly inflationary accounting beginning January 1, 2010. For those international subsidiaries operating in highly inflationary economies, the U.S. dollar is the functional currency, and as such, nonmonetary assets and

 

3


liabilities are translated at historical exchange rates, and monetary assets and liabilities are translated at current exchange rates. Exchange gains and losses arising from translation are included in other income (expense), net. Effective January 11, 2010, the Venezuelan government devalued the Bolivar Fuerte by 50 percent by resetting the official exchange rate from 2.15 to the U.S. dollar to 4.30 to the U.S. dollar. As a result, the company recorded a foreign exchange loss in the first quarter of 2010 of approximately $20 million. The company has used and continues to use the official exchange rate for translation purposes. At December 31, 2011, the company’s operations in Venezuela had net monetary assets denominated in local currency of approximately $19 million.

Segment results

The company has two business segments: Services and Technology. The products and services of each segment are marketed throughout the world to commercial businesses and governments. Revenue classifications by segment are as follows: Services – systems integration and consulting, outsourcing, infrastructure services and core maintenance; Technology – enterprise-class software and servers and other technology.

The accounting policies of each business segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. Intersegment sales and transfers are priced as if the sales or transfers were to third parties. Accordingly, the Technology segment recognizes intersegment revenue and manufacturing profit on hardware and software shipments to customers under Services contracts. The Services segment, in turn, recognizes customer revenue and marketing profit on such shipments of company hardware and software to customers. The Services segment also includes hardware and software products sourced from third parties that are sold to customers through the company’s Services channels. In the company’s consolidated statements of income, the manufacturing costs of products sourced from the Technology segment and sold to Services customers are reported in cost of revenue for Services.

Also included in the Technology segment’s sales and operating profit are sales of hardware and software sold to the Services segment for internal use in Services engagements. The amount of such profit included in operating income of the Technology segment for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, was $8.2 million, $7.2 million and $14.8 million, respectively. The profit on these transactions is eliminated in Corporate.

The company evaluates business segment performance on operating income exclusive of restructuring charges and unusual and nonrecurring items, which are included in Corporate. Effective January 1, 2011, the company changed the measurement of segment performance that it evaluates to exclude pension income or expense. Prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the 2011 presentation. All corporate and centrally incurred costs are allocated to the business segments, based principally on revenue, employees, square footage or usage. See Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

In the Services segment, customer revenue was $3.35 billion in 2011, $3.46 billion in 2010 and $3.82 billion in 2009. Foreign currency had about a 3-percentage-point positive impact on Services revenue in 2011 compared with 2010, and a 1-percentage-point positive impact in 2010 compared with 2009. The decline in revenue from the company’s U.S. Federal business contributed approximately 6 percentage points to the rate of decline in services revenue in 2011. Approximately 2 percentage points of the decline in 2010 compared with 2009 were due to divestitures of businesses.

Revenue from systems integration and consulting decreased 4.8% in 2011 compared with 2010, and 2010 revenue declined 10.1% compared with 2009. The decline in revenue from the company’s U.S. Federal business contributed approximately 5 percentage points to the rate of decline in systems integration and consulting revenue in 2011. The 2010 decline reflected lower demand for project-based services and the continued reshaping of the company’s services portfolio.

 

5


Outsourcing revenue decreased 2.9% in 2011 as the loss of $117 million in TSA revenue in the company’s U.S. Federal business, which was all included in information technology outsourcing (ITO) revenue, more than offset growth in other ITO outsourcing revenue. The decline in revenue from the company’s U.S. Federal business contributed approximately 9 percentage points to the rate of decline in outsourcing revenue in 2011. Outsourcing revenue decreased 3.8% in 2010 from 2009, primarily reflecting declines in business processing outsourcing (BPO) revenue.

Infrastructure services revenue increased 3.1% in 2011 compared with 2010 and decreased 16.2% in 2010 compared with 2009. The decline in 2010 reflects the company’s de-emphasis of lower-margin business, as well as the shift away from project work to managed outsourcing contracts. Approximately 4 percentage points of the decline in 2010 compared with 2009 were due to divestitures of businesses.

Core maintenance revenue declined 6.5% in 2011 compared with 2010. Core maintenance revenue declined 25.3% in 2010 compared with 2009. Approximately 12 percentage points of the 2010 decline were due to divestitures of businesses.

Services gross profit percent was 20.0% in 2011, 20.1% in 2010 and 18.6% in 2009. Services operating income percent was 6.9% in 2011 compared with 6.7% in 2010 and 5.6% in 2009.

In the Technology segment, customer revenue was $499.2 million in 2011, $562.2 million in 2010 and $560.8 million in 2009. Foreign currency translation had about a 2-percentage-point positive impact on Technology revenue in 2011 compared with 2010, and a negligible impact in 2010 compared with 2009. Adjusting for divested businesses, the growth rate in Technology revenue in 2010 would have been 4 percentage points higher.

Revenue from the company’s enterprise-class software and servers decreased 4.0% in 2011 compared with 2010 and was flat in 2010 compared with 2009. The company’s ClearPath revenue remained essentially flat throughout both years.

Revenue from other technology decreased 44.5% in 2011 compared with 2010 and increased 3.6% in 2010 compared with 2009. The decline in 2011 from 2010 was due to lower sales of third-party equipment. Adjusting for divested businesses, the growth rate in other technology revenue in 2010 would have been 19 percentage points higher.

Technology gross profit percent was 56.9% in 2011, 55.0% in 2010 and 49.5% in 2009. The increases were due to a higher relative mix of ClearPath sales. Technology operating income percent was 21.5% in 2011 compared with 21.1% in 2010 and 12.1% in 2009.

New accounting pronouncements

See Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a full description of recent accounting pronouncements, including the expected dates of adoption and estimated effects on the company’s consolidated financial statements.

Financial condition

The company’s principal sources of liquidity are cash on hand, cash from operations and its new five-year revolving credit facility, discussed below, which has replaced the company’s U.S. trade accounts receivable facility (the A/R Facility). The company and certain international subsidiaries have access to uncommitted lines of credit from various banks. The company believes that it will have adequate sources of liquidity to meet its expected 2012 cash requirements.

Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2011 were $714.9 million compared with $828.3 million at December 31, 2010. The decline was principally due to cash used for the debt reductions described below. At December 31, 2010, the company had sold no receivables under the A/R Facility compared with $100 million as of December 31, 2009 and $141 million at December 31, 2008.

As of December 31, 2011, approximately $457 million of cash and cash equivalents were held by the company’s foreign subsidiaries. In the future, if these funds are needed for the company’s operations in the U.S., the company may be required to accrue and pay U.S. taxes to repatriate these funds. See Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements regarding the company’s intention to indefinitely reinvest earnings of foreign subsidiaries.

During 2011, cash provided by operations was $317.2 million compared with $336.8 million in 2010.

Cash used for investing activities in 2011 was $96.3 million compared with cash used of $61.6 million in 2010. Net proceeds from investments in 2011 were $3.0 million compared with net proceeds of $.9 million in 2010. Proceeds from investments and purchases of investments represent derivative financial instruments used to manage the company’s currency exposure to market risks from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. During the year ended December 31, 2011, the net change in restricted deposits resulted in cash provided of $50.7 million compared with cash provided of $23.4 million in 2010. In addition, the investment in marketable software was $51.7 million in 2011 compared with $55.8 million in 2010, capital additions of properties were $42.2 million in 2011 compared with $64.1 million in 2010 and capital additions of outsourcing assets were $40.5 million in 2011 compared with $83.2 million in 2010. The current year includes $15.6 million of net payments related to sales of businesses and assets compared with 2010 which includes net proceeds of $117.2 million related to the sale of the company’s HIM business, U.S. specialized technology check sorter and related U.S. maintenance business and UISL business (see Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).

Cash used for financing activities during 2011 was $319.4 million compared with cash used of $91.5 million in 2010. The current year includes cash proceeds of $249.7 million related to the issuance of preferred stock, net of issuance costs; cash payments to retire long-term debt of $555.7 million (see discussion below); and $12.2 million of dividends paid on preferred stock. The prior-year period includes $92.8 million used to reduce long-term debt.

At December 31, 2011, total debt was $359.7 million, a decrease of $464.3 million from December 31, 2010.

On February 28, 2011, the company sold 2,587,500 shares of 6.25% mandatory convertible preferred stock for net proceeds of $249.7 million. Each share of mandatory convertible preferred stock will automatically convert on March 1, 2014 into between 2.1899 and 2.6717 shares of the company’s common stock, subject to adjustment, depending on the volume weighted average price per share of the company’s common stock over the 20 consecutive trading days ending on the third trading day immediately preceding the mandatory conversion date. At any time prior to March 1, 2014, holders may elect to convert all or a portion of their shares of the mandatory convertible preferred stock at the minimum conversion rate of 2.1899 shares of the company’s common stock, subject to adjustment.

The company pays dividends on each share of the mandatory convertible preferred stock on a cumulative basis at an annual rate of 6.25% on the initial liquidation preference of $100 per share (equivalent to $6.25 per share per year). Dividends accrue and accumulate from the date of issuance and, to the extent the company has lawfully available funds to pay dividends and the company’s Board of Directors or an authorized committee of the Board of Directors declares a dividend payable, the company will pay dividends on March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1 of each year prior to March 1, 2014 in cash and on March 1, 2014 or any earlier conversion date in cash, shares of the company’s common stock, or a combination thereof, at the company’s election. The annualized dividend on the mandatory convertible preferred stock is approximately $16.2 million until conversion.

On March 30, 2011, the net proceeds from the sale of mandatory convertible preferred stock were used to redeem an aggregate principal amount of $124.7 million of the company’s senior secured notes due 2014 and an aggregate principal amount of $86.3 million of the company’s senior secured notes due 2015 under the provisions of the indentures relating to the notes that allow the company to redeem, at its option, up to 35% of the original principal amount of each series of notes from the net cash proceeds of one or more equity offerings. As a result of these redemptions, the company recognized a charge of $31.8 million in “Other income (expense), net” in the three months ended March 31, 2011, which was comprised of $28.2 million of premium paid and $3.6 million for the write off of unamortized discounts, issuance costs and gains related to the portion of the notes redeemed.

On April 11, 2011, the company purchased $44.1 million of its senior secured notes due 2014 and $134.8 million of its senior secured notes due 2015 that had been tendered into a cash tender offer conducted by the company. As a result of this purchase of notes, the company recognized a charge of $45.7 million in “Other income (expense), net” in the three months ended June 30, 2011, which is comprised of $42.2 million of premium and expenses paid and $3.5 million for the write off of unamortized discounts, issuance costs and gains related to the portion of the notes purchased.

On November 21, 2011, the company purchased in the open market $20.0 million of its senior secured notes due 2014. As a result, the company recognized a charge of $3.2 million in “Other income (expense), net” in the three months ended December 31, 2011, which is comprised of $3.0 million of premium paid and $.2 million for the write off of unamortized discounts, issuance costs and gains related to the portion of the notes purchased.

On November 25, 2011, the company redeemed all of the remaining $65.9 million of its 8% senior notes due 2012. As a result of the redemption, the company recognized a charge of $4.4 million in “Other income (expense), net” in the three months ended December 31, 2011, which is comprised of $4.3 million of premium and expenses paid and $.1 million for the write off of unamortized issuance costs.

The annualized interest expense attributable to the debt retired during 2011 is approximately $61 million.

On February 1, 2012, the company called for redemption all of the remaining $25.5 million of its 14 1/4% senior secured notes due 2015 and $40.0 million of its 12.5% senior notes due 2016. The notes will be redeemed on March 2, 2012 and the company expects to recognize a charge of approximately $7 million in “Other income (expense), net” in the first quarter of 2012 in connection with the redemptions.

On June 23, 2011, the company entered into a new, five-year, secured revolving credit facility to replace the company’s $150 million U.S. trade accounts receivable securitization facility that terminated on that date. The new credit agreement provides for loans and letters of credit up to an aggregate amount of $150 million (with a limit on letters of credit of $100 million). The prior accounts receivable securitization facility had not provided for letters of credit. Borrowing limits under the new credit agreement are based upon the amount of eligible U.S. accounts receivable. At December 31, 2011, the company had no borrowings and $29.8 million of letters of credit outstanding under the facility. At December 31, 2011, availability under the facility was $85.8 million net of letters of credit issued. Borrowings under the facility will bear interest based on short-term rates. The credit agreement contains customary representations and warranties, including that there has been no material adverse change in the company’s business, properties, operations or financial condition. It also contains financial covenants requiring the company to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and, if the company’s consolidated cash plus availability under the credit facility falls below $130 million, a maximum secured leverage ratio. The credit agreement allows the company to pay dividends on its preferred stock unless the company is in default and to, among other things, repurchase its equity, prepay other debt, incur other debt or liens, dispose of assets and make acquisitions, loans and investments, provided the company complies with certain requirements and limitations set forth in the agreement. Events of default include non-payment, failure to perform covenants, materially incorrect representations and warranties, change of control and default under other debt aggregating at least $50 million. The credit facility is guaranteed by Unisys Holding Corporation, Unisys NPL, Inc. and any future material domestic subsidiaries. The facility is secured on a first priority basis by certain assets of Unisys Corporation and the subsidiary guarantors consisting primarily of the U.S. trade accounts receivable of Unisys Corporation. It is secured on a junior basis (to the senior secured notes due 2014 and 2015) by the other assets of Unisys Corporation and the subsidiary guarantors, other than certain excluded assets. The company may elect to prepay or terminate the credit facility without penalty.

At December 31, 2011, the company has met all covenants and conditions under its various lending agreements. The company expects to continue to meet these covenants and conditions.

At December 31, 2011, the company had outstanding standby letters of credit and surety bonds of approximately $324 million related to performance and payment guarantees. On the basis of experience with these arrangements, the company believes that any obligations that may arise will not be material.

As described in Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, in 2012, the company expects to make cash contributions of approximately $241 million to its worldwide defined benefit pension plans, which is comprised of $98 million primarily for non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans and $143 million for the company’s U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan.

The company may, from time to time, redeem, tender for, or repurchase its securities in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions depending upon availability, market conditions and other factors. The company has on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission an effective registration statement, expiring in June of 2012, covering approximately $.8 billion of debt or equity securities, which enables the company to be prepared for future market opportunities.

Market risk

The company has exposure to interest rate risk from its short-term and long-term debt. In general, the company’s long-term debt is fixed rate and, to the extent it has any, its short-term debt is variable rate. See Note 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for components of the company’s long-term debt. The company believes that the market risk assuming a hypothetical 10% increase in interest rates would not be material to the fair value of these financial instruments, or the related cash flows, or future results of operations.

The company is also exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risks. The company is a net receiver of currencies other than the U.S. dollar and, as such, can benefit from a weaker dollar, and can be adversely affected by a stronger dollar relative to currencies worldwide. Accordingly, changes in exchange rates, and in particular a strengthening of the U.S. dollar, may adversely affect consolidated revenue and operating margins as expressed in U.S. dollars. Currency exposure gains and losses are mitigated by purchasing components and incurring expenses in local currencies.

In addition, the company uses derivative financial instruments, primarily foreign exchange forward contracts, to reduce its exposure to market risks from changes in foreign currency exchange rates on intercompany balances. See Note 12 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the company’s derivative financial instruments.

The company has performed a sensitivity analysis assuming a hypothetical 10% adverse movement in foreign currency exchange rates applied to these derivative financial instruments described above. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the analysis indicated that such market movements would have reduced the estimated fair value of these derivative financial instruments by approximately $13 million and $3 million, respectively. Based on changes in the timing and amount of interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate movements and the company’s actual exposures and hedges, actual gains and losses in the future may differ from the above analysis.

Critical accounting policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Certain accounting policies, methods and estimates are particularly important because of their significance to the financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting them may differ from management’s current judgments. The company bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on other

 

9


assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances; however, to the extent there are material differences between these estimates, judgments and assumptions and actual results, the financial statements will be affected. Although there are a number of accounting policies, methods and estimates affecting the company’s financial statements as described in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, the following critical accounting policies reflect the significant estimates, judgments and assumptions. The development and selection of these critical accounting policies have been determined by management of the company and the related disclosures have been reviewed with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.

Outsourcing

Typically, the initial terms of the company’s outsourcing contracts are between 3 and 5 years. In certain of these arrangements, the company hires certain of the customers’ employees and often becomes responsible for the related employee obligations, such as pension and severance commitments. In addition, system development activity on outsourcing contracts often requires significant upfront investments by the company. The company funds these investments, and any employee-related obligations, from customer prepayments and operating cash flow. Also, in the early phases of these contracts, gross margins may be lower than in later years when the work force and facilities have been rationalized for efficient operations, and an integrated systems solution has been implemented.

Revenue under these contracts is recognized when the company performs the services or processes transactions in accordance with contractual performance standards. Customer prepayments (even if nonrefundable) are deferred (classified as a liability) and recognized systematically as revenue over the initial contract term.

Costs on outsourcing contracts are charged to expense as incurred. However, direct costs incurred related to the inception of an outsourcing contract are deferred and charged to expense over the initial contract term. These costs consist principally of initial customer setup and employment obligations related to employees hired under terms of the outsourcing contracts. In addition, the costs of equipment and software, some of which are internally developed, are capitalized and depreciated over the shorter of their life or the initial contract term.

Recoverability of outsourcing assets is subject to various business risks, including the timely completion and ultimate cost of the outsourcing solution, and realization of expected profitability of existing outsourcing contracts. The company quarterly compares the carrying value of the outsourcing assets with the undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the outsourcing assets to determine if there is an impairment. If impaired, the outsourcing assets are reduced to an estimated fair value on a discounted cash flow approach. The company prepares its cash flow estimates based on assumptions that it believes to be reasonable but are also inherently uncertain. Actual future cash flows could differ from these estimates. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the net capitalized amount related to outsourcing contracts was $137.9 million and $162.3 million, respectively.

Revenue recognition

The majority of the company’s sales agreements contain standard business terms and conditions; however, some agreements contain multiple elements or non-standard terms and conditions. As discussed in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, the company enters into multiple-element arrangements, which may include any combination of hardware, software or services. As a result, significant contract interpretation is sometimes required to determine the appropriate accounting, including whether the deliverables specified in a multiple-element arrangement should be treated as separate units of accounting for revenue recognition purposes, and, if so, how the price should be allocated among the elements and when to recognize revenue for each element. The company recognizes revenue on delivered elements only if: (a) any undelivered products or services are not essential to the functionality of the delivered products or services, (b) the company has an enforceable claim to receive the amount due in the event it does not deliver the undelivered products or services, (c) there is evidence of the selling price for each undelivered product or service, and (d) the revenue recognition criteria otherwise have been met for the delivered elements. Otherwise, revenue on delivered elements is recognized as the undelivered elements are delivered. For arrangements with multiple elements involving the

 

10


licensing or sale of software and software-related elements, the allocation of revenue is based on vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE), which is based upon normal pricing and discounting practices for those products and services when sold separately. The company’s continued ability to determine VSOE of fair value will depend on continued sufficient volumes and sufficient consistent pricing of stand-alone sales of such undelivered elements. In addition, the company’s revenue recognition policy states that revenue is not recognized until collectibility is deemed probable. Changes in judgments on these assumptions and estimates could materially impact the timing of revenue recognition.

For long-term fixed price systems integration contracts, the company recognizes revenue and profit as the contracts progress using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting, which relies on estimates of total expected contract revenues and costs. The company follows this method because reasonably dependable estimates of the revenue and costs applicable to various elements of a contract can be made. The financial reporting of these contracts depends on estimates, which are assessed continually during the term of the contracts and therefore, recognized revenues and profit are subject to revisions as the contract progresses to completion. Revisions in profit estimates are reflected in the period in which the facts that give rise to the revision become known. Accordingly, favorable changes in estimates result in additional revenue and profit recognition, and unfavorable changes in estimates result in a reduction of recognized revenue and profit. When estimates indicate that a loss will be incurred on a contract upon completion, a provision for the expected loss is recorded in the period in which the loss becomes evident. As work progresses under a loss contract, revenue continues to be recognized, and a portion of the contract costs incurred in each period is charged to the contract loss reserve. For other systems integration projects, the company recognizes revenue when the services have been performed.

Income Taxes

Accounting rules governing income taxes require that deferred tax assets and liabilities be recognized using enacted tax rates for the effect of temporary differences between the book and tax bases of recorded assets and liabilities. These rules also require that deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or the entire deferred tax asset will not be realized. In 2005, the company recorded a noncash charge of $1.6 billion to increase the valuation allowance against deferred taxes.

At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the company had deferred tax assets in excess of deferred tax liabilities of $2,822.8 million and $2,611.8 million, respectively. For the reasons cited below, at December 31, 2011 and 2010, management determined that it is more likely than not that $174.3 million and $185.4 million, respectively, of such assets will be realized, resulting in a valuation allowance of $2,648.5 million and $2,426.4 million, respectively.

The company evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax assets by assessing its valuation allowance and by adjusting the amount of such allowance, if necessary. The factors used to assess the likelihood of realization are the company’s historical profitability, forecast of future taxable income and available tax-planning strategies that could be implemented to realize the net deferred tax assets. The company uses tax-planning strategies to realize or renew net deferred tax assets to avoid the potential loss of future tax benefits.

Failure to achieve forecasted taxable income might affect the ultimate realization of the net deferred tax assets. Factors that may affect the company’s ability to achieve sufficient forecasted taxable income include, but are not limited to, the following: increased competition, a decline in sales or margins, loss of market share, delays in product availability or technological obsolescence. See “Factors that may affect future results.”

Internal Revenue Code Sections 382 and 383 provide annual limitations with respect to the ability of a corporation to utilize its net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards, respectively, against future U.S. taxable income, if the corporation experiences an “ownership change.” Based on currently available information, the company believes that an ownership change may have occurred during 2011. See Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

The company’s provision for income taxes and the determination of the resulting deferred tax assets and liabilities involve a significant amount of management judgment and are based on the best information available at the time. The company operates within federal, state and international taxing jurisdictions and is subject to audit in these jurisdictions. These audits

 

11


can involve complex issues, which may require an extended period of time to resolve. As a result, the actual income tax liabilities in the jurisdictions with respect to any fiscal year are ultimately determined long after the financial statements have been published.

Accounting rules governing income taxes also prescribe a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The company maintains reserves for estimated tax exposures including penalties and interest. Income tax exposures include potential challenges of research and development credits and intercompany pricing. Exposures are settled primarily through the settlement of audits within these tax jurisdictions, but can also be affected by changes in applicable tax law or other factors, which could cause management of the company to believe a revision of past estimates is appropriate. Management believes that an appropriate liability has been established for estimated exposures; however, actual results may differ materially from these estimates. The liabilities are reviewed quarterly for their adequacy and appropriateness. See Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Pensions

Accounting rules governing defined benefit pension plans require that amounts recognized in financial statements be determined on an actuarial basis. The measurement of the company’s pension obligations, costs and liabilities is dependent on a variety of assumptions selected by the company and used by the company’s actuaries. These assumptions include estimates of the present value of projected future pension payments to plan participants, taking into consideration the likelihood of potential future events such as salary increases and demographic experience. The assumptions used in developing the required estimates include the following key factors: discount rates, salary growth, retirement rates, inflation, expected return on plan assets and mortality rates.

As permitted for purposes of computing pension expense, the company uses a calculated value of plan assets (which is further described below). This allows that the effects of the performance of the pension plan’s assets on the company’s computation of pension income or expense be amortized over future periods. A substantial portion of the company’s pension plan assets relates to its qualified defined benefit plan in the United States.

A significant element in determining the company’s pension income or expense is the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets. The company sets the expected long-term rate of return based on the expected long-term return of the various asset categories in which it invests. The company considers the current expectations for future returns and the actual historical returns of each asset class. Also, because the company’s investment policy is to actively manage certain asset classes where the potential exists to outperform the broader market, the expected returns for those asset classes are adjusted to reflect the expected additional returns. For 2012 and 2011, the company has assumed that the expected long-term rate of return on U.S. plan assets will be 8.00% and 8.75%, respectively, and on the company’s non-U.S. plan assets will be 6.59% and 6.57%, respectively. A change of 25 basis points in the expected long-term rate of return for the company’s U.S. and principal non-U.S. pension plans causes a change of approximately $9 million and $4 million, respectively, in pension expense. The assumed long-term rate of return on assets is applied to a calculated value of plan assets, which recognizes changes in the fair value of plan assets in a systematic manner over four years. This produces the expected return on plan assets that is included in pension income or expense. The difference between this expected return and the actual return on plan assets is deferred. The net deferral of past asset gains or losses affects the calculated value of plan assets and, ultimately, future pension income or expense. At December 31, 2011, for the company’s U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan, the calculated value of plan assets was $3.67 billion and the fair value was $3.56 billion.

At the end of each year, the company determines the discount rate to be used to calculate the present value of plan liabilities. The discount rate is an estimate of the current interest rate at which the pension liabilities could be effectively settled at the end of the year. In estimating this rate, the company looks to rates of return on high-quality, fixed-income investments that (a) receive one of the two highest ratings given by a recognized ratings agency and (b) are currently available and expected to be available during the period to maturity of the pension benefits. At December 31, 2011, the company determined this rate to be 4.96% for its U.S. defined benefit pension plans, a decrease of 72 basis points from

 

12


the rate used at December 31, 2010. A change of 25 basis points in the U.S. and principal non-U.S. discount rates causes a change in pension expense of approximately zero and $5 million, respectively, and a change of approximately $127 million and $95 million, respectively, in the benefit obligation. The net effect of changes in the discount rate, as well as the net effect of other changes in actuarial assumptions and experience, has been deferred, as permitted.

Gains and losses are defined as changes in the amount of either the projected benefit obligation or plan assets resulting from experience different from that assumed and from changes in assumptions. Because gains and losses may reflect refinements in estimates as well as real changes in economic values and because some gains in one period may be offset by losses in another and vice versa, the accounting rules do not require recognition of gains and losses as components of net pension cost of the period in which they arise.

As a minimum, amortization of an unrecognized net gain or loss must be included as a component of net pension cost for a year if, as of the beginning of the year, that unrecognized net gain or loss exceeds 10 percent of the greater of the projected benefit obligation or the calculated value of plan assets. If amortization is required, the minimum amortization is that excess above the 10 percent divided by the average remaining life expectancy of the plan participants. For the company’s U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan and the company’s principal non-U.S. pension plans, that period is approximately 21 years. At December 31, 2011, based on the calculated value of plan assets, the estimated unrecognized loss for the company’s U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan and the company’s principal non-U.S. pension plans was $2.80 billion and $.5 billion, respectively.

For the year ended December 31, 2011, the company recognized consolidated pretax pension expense of $34.3 million, compared with pretax pension income of $2.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. For 2012, the company expects to recognize pension expense of approximately $102 million. See Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Factors that may affect future results

From time to time, the company provides information containing “forward-looking” statements, as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements provide current expectations of future events and include any statement that does not directly relate to any historical or current fact. Words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “projects” and similar expressions may identify such forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements rely on assumptions and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause the company’s actual results to differ materially from expectations. Factors that could affect future results include, but are not limited to, those discussed below. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which that statement is made. The company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances that occur after the date on which the statement is made.

Factors that could affect future results include the following:

Future results will depend in part on the company’s ability to drive profitable growth in consulting and systems integration. The company’s ability to grow profitably in this business will depend on the level of demand for systems integration projects and the portfolio of solutions the company offers for specific industries. It will also depend on an efficient utilization of services delivery personnel. In addition, profit margins in this business are largely a function of the rates the company is able to charge for services and the chargeability of its professionals. If the company is unable to attain sufficient rates and chargeability for its professionals, profit margins will be adversely affected. The rates the company is able to charge for services are affected by a number of factors, including clients’ perception of the company’s ability to add value through its services; introduction of new services or products by the company or its competitors; pricing policies of competitors; and general economic conditions. Chargeability is also affected by a number of factors, including the company’s ability to transition employees from completed projects to new engagements, and its ability to forecast demand for services and thereby maintain an appropriate headcount.

 

13


The company’s future results will depend in part on its ability to take on, successfully implement and grow outsourcing operations. The company’s outsourcing contracts are multiyear engagements under which the company takes over management of a client’s technology operations, business processes or networks. In a number of these arrangements, the company hires certain of its clients’ employees and may become responsible for the related employee obligations, such as pension and severance commitments. In addition, system development activity on outsourcing contracts may require the company to make significant upfront investments. The company will need to have available sufficient financial resources in order to take on these obligations and make these investments.

Recoverability of outsourcing assets is dependent on various factors, including the timely completion and ultimate cost of the outsourcing solution, and realization of expected profitability of existing outsourcing contracts. These risks could result in an impairment of a portion of the associated assets, which are tested for recoverability quarterly.

As long-term relationships, outsourcing contracts provide a base of recurring revenue. However, outsourcing contracts are highly complex and can involve the design, development, implementation and operation of new solutions and the transitioning of clients from their existing business processes to the new environment. In the early phases of these contracts, gross margins may be lower than in later years when an integrated solution has been implemented, the duplicate costs of transitioning from the old to the new system have been eliminated and the work force and facilities have been rationalized for efficient operations. Future results will depend on the company’s ability to effectively and timely complete these implementations, transitions and rationalizations.

Future results will also depend, in part, on market demand for the company’s high-end enterprise servers and maintenance on these servers. The company continues to apply its resources to develop value-added software capabilities and optimized solutions for these server platforms which provide competitive differentiation. Future results will depend on the company’s ability to maintain its installed base for ClearPath and to develop next-generation ClearPath products to expand the market.

The company faces aggressive competition in the information services and technology marketplace, which could lead to reduced demand for the company’s products and services and could have an adverse effect on the company’s business. The information services and technology markets in which the company operates include a large number of companies vying for customers and market share both domestically and internationally. The company’s competitors include consulting and other professional services firms, systems integrators, outsourcing providers, infrastructure services providers, computer hardware manufacturers and software providers. Some of the company’s competitors may develop competing products and services that offer better price-performance or that reach the market in advance of the company’s offerings. Some competitors also have or may develop greater financial and other resources than the company, with enhanced ability to compete for market share, in some instances through significant economic incentives to secure contracts. Some also may be better able to compete for skilled professionals. Any of these factors could lead to reduced demand for the company’s products and services and could have an adverse effect on the company’s business. Future results will depend on the company’s ability to mitigate the effects of aggressive competition on revenues, pricing and margins and on the company’s ability to attract and retain talented people.

The company’s future results will depend on its ability to retain significant clients. The company has a number of significant long-term contracts with clients, including governmental entities, and its future success will depend, in part, on retaining its relationships with these clients. The company could lose clients for such reasons as contract expiration, conversion to a competing service provider, disputes with clients or a decision to in-source services, including for contracts with governmental entities as part of the rebid process. The company could also lose clients as a result of their merger, acquisition or business failure. The company may not be able to replace the revenue and earnings from any such lost client.

The company’s future results will depend upon its ability to effectively anticipate and respond to volatility and rapid technological change in its industry. The company operates in a highly volatile industry characterized by rapid technological change, evolving technology standards, short product life cycles and continually changing customer demand patterns. Future success will depend in part on the company’s ability to anticipate and respond to these market trends and to design, develop, introduce, deliver or obtain new and innovative products and services on a timely and cost-effective basis. The

 

14


company may not be successful in anticipating or responding to changes in technology, industry standards or customer preferences, and the market may not demand or accept its services and product offerings. In addition, products and services developed by competitors may make the company’s offerings less competitive.

The company’s business can be adversely affected by global economic conditions, acts of war, terrorism or natural disasters. The company’s financial results have been impacted by the global economic slowdown in recent years. If economic conditions worsen, the company could see reductions in demand and increased pressure on revenue and profit margins. The company could also see a further consolidation of clients, which could also result in a decrease in demand. The company’s business could also be affected by acts of war, terrorism or natural disasters. Current world tensions could escalate, and this could have unpredictable consequences on the world economy and on the company’s business.

The company has significant pension obligations and may be required to make significant cash contributions to its defined benefit pension plans. The company has unfunded obligations under its U.S. and non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans. Based on current legislation, recent interest rates and expected returns, in 2012, the company expects to make cash contributions of approximately $241 million to its worldwide defined benefit pension plans, which is comprised of $98 million primarily for non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans and $143 million for the company’s U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan.

Deterioration in the value of the company’s worldwide defined benefit pension plan assets, as well as discount rate changes, could require the company to make larger cash contributions to its defined benefit pension plans in the future. In addition, the funding of plan deficits over a shorter period of time than currently anticipated could result in making cash contributions to these plans on a more accelerated basis. Either of these events would reduce the cash available for working capital and other corporate uses and may have an adverse impact on the company’s operations, financial condition and liquidity.

The company’s future results will depend on the success of its program to reduce costs, focus its global resources and simplify its business structure. Over the past several years, the company has implemented significant cost-reduction measures and continues to focus on measures intended to further improve cost efficiency. In prior years, the company has incurred significant cost reduction charges in connection with these efforts. Future results will depend on the success of these efforts as well as on the success of the company’s program to focus its global resources and simplify its business structure. This program is based on various assumptions, including assumptions regarding market segment growth, client demand, and the proper skill set of and training for sales and marketing management and personnel, all of which are subject to change. Furthermore, the company’s institutional stockholders may attempt to influence these strategies.

The company’s contracts may not be as profitable as expected or provide the expected level of revenues. In a number of the company’s long-term contracts for infrastructure services, outsourcing, help desk and similar services, the company’s revenue is based on the volume of products and services provided. As a result, revenue levels anticipated at the contract’s inception are not guaranteed. In addition, some of these contracts may permit termination at the customer’s discretion before the end of the contract’s term or may permit termination or impose other penalties if the company does not meet the performance levels specified in the contracts.

The company’s contracts with governmental entities are subject to the availability of appropriated funds. These contracts also contain provisions allowing the governmental entity to terminate the contract at the governmental entity’s discretion before the end of the contract’s term. In addition, if the company’s performance is unacceptable to the customer under a government contract, the government retains the right to pursue remedies under the affected contract, which remedies could include termination.

Certain of the company’s outsourcing agreements require that the company’s prices be benchmarked if the customer requests it and provide that those prices may be adjusted downward if the pricing for similar services in the market has changed. As a result, revenues anticipated at the beginning of the terms of these contracts may decline in the future.

Some of the company’s systems integration contracts are fixed-price contracts under which the company assumes the risk for delivery of the contracted services and products at an agreed-upon fixed price. Should the company experience problems

 

15


in performing fixed-price contracts on a profitable basis, adjustments to the estimated cost to complete may be required. Future results will depend on the company’s ability to perform these services contracts profitably.

The company’s contracts with U.S. governmental agencies may subject the company to audits, criminal penalties, sanctions and other expenses and fines. The company frequently enters into contracts with governmental entities. U.S. government agencies, including the Defense Contract Audit Agency and the Department of Labor, routinely audit government contractors. These agencies review a contractor’s performance under its contracts, cost structure and compliance with applicable laws, regulations and standards. The U.S. government also may review the adequacy of, and a contractor’s compliance with contract terms and conditions, its systems and policies, including the contractor’s purchasing, property, estimating, billing, accounting, compensation and management information systems. Any costs found to be overcharged or improperly allocated to a specific contract or any amounts improperly billed or charged for products or services will be subject to reimbursement to the government. In addition, government contractors, such as the company, are required to disclose credible evidence of certain violations of law and contract overpayments to the federal government. If the company is found to have participated in improper or illegal activities, the company may be subject to civil and criminal penalties and administrative sanctions, including termination of contracts, forfeiture of profits, suspension of payments, fines and suspension or prohibition from doing business with the U.S. government. Any negative publicity related to such contracts, regardless of the accuracy of such publicity, may adversely affect the company’s business or reputation.

The company may face damage to its reputation or legal liability if its clients are not satisfied with its services or products. The success of the company’s business is dependent on strong, long-term client relationships and on its reputation for responsiveness and quality. As a result, if a client is not satisfied with the company’s services or products, its reputation could be damaged and its business adversely affected. Allegations by private litigants or regulators of improper conduct, as well as negative publicity and press speculation about the company, whatever the outcome and whether or not valid, may harm its reputation. In addition to harm to reputation, if the company fails to meet its contractual obligations, it could be subject to legal liability, which could adversely affect its business, operating results and financial condition.

Breaches of data security could expose the company to legal liability and could harm the company’s business and reputation. The company’s business includes managing, processing, storing and transmitting proprietary and confidential data, including personal information, within the company’s own IT systems and those the company designs, develops, hosts or manages for clients. Breaches of data security involving these systems by hackers, other third parties or the company’s employees, despite established security controls with respect to this data, could result in the loss of data or the unauthorized disclosure or misuse of confidential information of the company, its clients, or others. This could result in litigation and legal liability for the company, lead to the loss of existing or potential clients, adversely affect the market’s perception of the security and reliability of the company’s products and services and lead to shutdowns or disruptions of the company’s IT systems. In addition, such breaches could subject the company to fines and penalties for violations of data privacy laws. This may negatively impact the company’s reputation and financial results.

Future results will depend in part on the performance and capabilities of third parties with whom the company has commercial relationships. The company has commercial relationships with suppliers, channel partners and other parties that have complementary products, services or skills. Future results will depend, in part, on the performance and capabilities of these third parties, on the ability of external suppliers to deliver components at reasonable prices and in a timely manner, and on the financial condition of, and the company’s relationship with, distributors and other indirect channel partners.

More than half of the company’s revenue is derived from operations outside of the United States, and the company is subject to the risks of doing business internationally. More than half of the company’s total revenue is derived from international operations. The risks of doing business internationally include foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, currency restrictions and devaluations, changes in political or economic conditions, trade protection measures, import or export licensing requirements, multiple and possibly overlapping and conflicting tax laws, new tax legislation, weaker intellectual property protections in some jurisdictions and additional legal and regulatory compliance requirements applicable to businesses that operate internationally, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and non-U.S. laws and regulations.

Financial market conditions may inhibit the company’s ability to access capital and credit markets to address its liquidity needs. Financial market conditions may impact the company’s ability to borrow, to refinance its outstanding debt, or to utilize surety bonds, letters of credit, foreign exchange derivatives and other financial instruments the company uses to conduct its business. Although the company primarily uses cash on hand to address its liquidity needs, its ability to do so assumes that its operations will continue to generate sufficient cash.

The company’s services or products may infringe upon the intellectual property rights of others. The company cannot be sure that its services and products do not infringe on the intellectual property rights of third parties, and it may have infringement claims asserted against it or against its clients. These claims could cost the company money, prevent it from offering some services or products, or damage its reputation.

Pending litigation could affect the company’s results of operations or cash flow. There are various lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings that have been brought or asserted against the company, which arise in the ordinary course of business, including actions with respect to commercial and government contracts, labor and employment, employee benefits, environmental matters, intellectual property and non-income tax and employment compensation in Brazil. See Note 14 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on litigation. The company believes that it has valid defenses with respect to legal matters pending against it. Litigation is inherently unpredictable, however, and it is possible that the company’s results of operations or cash flow could be materially affected in any particular period by the resolution of one or more of the legal matters pending against it.

The company could face business and financial risk in implementing future dispositions or acquisitions. As part of the company’s business strategy, it may from time to time consider disposing of existing technologies, products and businesses that may no longer be in alignment with its strategic direction, including transactions of a material size, or acquiring complementary technologies, products and businesses. Potential risks with respect to dispositions include difficulty finding buyers or alternative exit strategies on acceptable terms in a timely manner; potential loss of employees or clients; dispositions at unfavorable prices or on unfavorable terms, including relating to retained liabilities; and post closing indemnity claims. Any acquisitions may result in the incurrence of substantial additional indebtedness or contingent liabilities. Acquisitions could also result in potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities and an increase in amortization expenses related to intangible assets. Additional potential risks associated with acquisitions include integration difficulties; difficulties in maintaining or enhancing the profitability of any acquired business; risks of entering markets in which the company has no or limited prior experience; potential loss of employees or failure to maintain or renew any contracts of any acquired business; and expenses of any undiscovered or potential liabilities of the acquired product or business, including relating to employee benefits contribution obligations or environmental requirements. Further, with respect to both dispositions and acquisitions, management’s attention could be diverted from other business concerns. Adverse credit conditions could also affect the company’s ability to consummate dispositions or acquisitions. The risks associated with dispositions and acquisitions could have a material adverse effect upon the company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. There can be no assurance that the company will be successful in consummating future dispositions or acquisitions on favorable terms or at all.

The company believes that its ability to use its U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards and other tax attributes may be limited. Internal Revenue Code Sections 382 and 383 provide annual limitations with respect to the ability of a corporation to utilize its net operating loss (as well as certain built-in losses) and tax credit carryforwards, respectively (Tax Attributes), against future U.S. taxable income, if the corporation experiences an “ownership change.” In general terms, an ownership change may result from transactions increasing the ownership of certain stockholders in the stock of a corporation by more than 50 percentage points over a three-year period. The company regularly monitors ownership changes (as calculated for purposes of Section 382). Based on currently available information, the company believes that an ownership change may have occurred during 2011, for purposes of the rules described above. However, the final determination of whether an ownership change has occurred is currently subject to a number of discretionary tax rules and final reporting by shareholders. Moreover, any future transaction or transactions and the timing of such transaction or transactions could trigger additional ownership changes under Section 382.

 

17


In the event of an ownership change, utilization of the company’s Tax Attributes will be subject to an estimated overall annual limitation determined in part by multiplying the total adjusted aggregate market value of the company’s common stock immediately preceding the ownership change by the applicable long-term tax-exempt rate, possibly subject to increase based on the built-in gain, if any, in the company’s assets at the time of the ownership change. Any unused annual limitation may be carried over to later years. Future U.S. taxable income may not be fully offset by existing Tax Attributes, if such income exceeds the company’s annual limitation. However, based on presently available information and the existence of tax planning strategies, currently the company does not expect to incur a cash tax liability in the near term. The company maintains a full valuation allowance against the realization of all U.S. as well as certain foreign deferred tax assets in excess of deferred tax liabilities.

Unisys Corporation

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Summary of significant accounting policies

Principles of consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all majority-owned subsidiaries.

Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts of assets and liabilities reported, disclosures about contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses. Such estimates include the valuation of accounts receivables, inventories, outsourcing assets, marketable software, goodwill and other long-lived assets, legal contingencies, indemnifications, and assumptions used in the calculation for systems integration projects, income taxes and retirement and other post-employment benefits, among others. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best estimates and judgment. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment, which management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Management adjusts such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. Changes in those estimates resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment will be reflected in the financial statements in future periods.

Cash equivalents All short-term investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less and certificates of deposits which may be withdrawn at any time at the discretion of the company without penalty are classified as cash equivalents.

Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on the first-in, first-out method.

Properties Properties are carried at cost and are depreciated over the estimated lives of such assets using the straight-line method. The estimated lives used, in years, are as follows: buildings, 20 – 50; machinery and office equipment, 4 – 7; rental equipment, 4; and internal-use software, 3 – 10.

Advertising costs All advertising costs are expensed as incurred. The amount charged to expense during 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $.9 million, $.6 million and $1.6 million, respectively.

Shipping and handling Costs related to shipping and handling is included in cost of revenue.

Revenue recognition Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectability is probable.

Revenue from hardware sales with standard payment terms is recognized upon the passage of title and the transfer of risk of loss. Outside the United States, the company recognizes revenue even if it retains a form of title to products delivered to customers, provided the sole purpose is to enable the company to recover the products in the event of customer payment default and the arrangement does not prohibit the customer’s use of the product in the ordinary course of business.

Revenue from software licenses with standard payment terms is recognized at the inception of the initial license term and upon execution of an extension to the license term.

The company also enters into multiple-element arrangements, which may include any combination of hardware, software or services. For example, a client may purchase an enterprise server that includes operating system software. In addition, the arrangement may include post-contract support for the software and a contract for post-warranty maintenance for service of the hardware. These arrangements consist of multiple deliverables, with hardware and software delivered in one reporting period and the software support and hardware maintenance services delivered across multiple reporting periods. In another example, the company may provide desktop managed services to a client on a long term multiple year basis and periodically sell hardware and software products to the client. The services are provided on a continuous basis across multiple reporting

 

23


periods and the hardware and software products are delivered in one reporting period. To the extent that a deliverable in a multiple-deliverable arrangement is subject to specific guidance, that deliverable is accounted for in accordance with such specific guidance. Examples of such arrangements may include leased hardware which is subject to specific leasing guidance or software which is subject to specific software revenue recognition guidance.

In these transactions, the company allocates the total revenue to be earned under the arrangement among the various elements based on a selling price hierarchy. The selling price for a deliverable is based on its vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE) if available, third party evidence (TPE) if VSOE is not available, or the best estimated selling price (ESP) if neither VSOE nor TPE is available. VSOE of selling price is based upon the normal pricing and discounting practices for those products and services when sold separately. TPE of selling price is based on evaluating largely similar and interchangeable competitor products or services in standalone sales to similarly situated customers. ESP is established considering factors such as margin objectives, discounts off of list prices, market conditions, competition and other factors. ESP represents the price at which the company would transact for the deliverable if it were sold by the company regularly on a standalone basis.

For multiple-element arrangements that involve the licensing, selling or leasing of software, for software and software-related elements, the allocation of revenue is based on VSOE. There may be cases in which there is VSOE of selling price of the undelivered elements but no such evidence for the delivered elements. In these cases, the residual method is used to allocate the arrangement consideration. Under the residual method, the amount of consideration allocated to the delivered elements equals the total arrangement consideration less the aggregate VSOE of selling price of the undelivered elements.

For multiple-element arrangements for products or services that (a) do not include the licensing, selling or leasing of software, or (b) contain software that is incidental to the products or services as a whole or (c) contain software components that are sold, licensed or leased with tangible products when the software components and non-software components (i.e., the hardware and software) of the tangible product function together to deliver the tangible product’s essential functionality (e.g., sales of the company’s enterprise-class servers including hardware and software), the allocation of revenue is based on the relative selling prices of each of the deliverables in the arrangement based on the selling price hierarchy, discussed above.

The company recognizes revenue on delivered elements only if: (a) any undelivered products or services are not essential to the functionality of the delivered products or services, (b) the company has an enforceable claim to receive the amount due in the event it does not deliver the undelivered products or services, (c) there is evidence of the selling price for each undelivered products or services, and (d) the revenue recognition criteria otherwise have been met for the delivered elements. Otherwise, revenue on delivered elements is recognized as the undelivered elements are delivered.

The company evaluates each deliverable in an arrangement to determine whether they represent separate units of accounting. A delivered element constitutes a separate unit of accounting when it has standalone value and there is no customer-negotiated refund or return rights for the delivered elements. If these criteria are not met, the deliverable is combined with the undelivered elements and the allocation of the arrangement consideration and revenue recognition are determined for the combined unit as a single unit.

Revenue from hardware sales and software licenses with extended payment terms is recognized as payments from customers become due (assuming that all other conditions for revenue recognition have been satisfied).

Revenue for operating leases is recognized on a monthly basis over the term of the lease and for sales-type leases at the inception of the lease term.

Revenue from equipment and software maintenance and post-contract support is recognized on a straight-line basis as earned over the terms of the respective contracts. Cost related to such contracts is recognized as incurred.

Revenue and profit under systems integration contracts are recognized either on the percentage-of-completion method of accounting using the cost-to-cost method, or when services have been performed, depending on the nature of the project. For contracts accounted for on the percentage-of-completion basis, revenue and profit recognized in any given accounting period are based on estimates of total projected contract costs. The estimates are continually reevaluated and revised,

 

24


when necessary, throughout the life of a contract. Any adjustments to revenue and profit resulting from changes in estimates are accounted for in the period of the change in estimate. When estimates indicate that a loss will be incurred on a contract upon completion, a provision for the expected loss is recorded in the period in which the loss becomes evident.

Revenue from time and materials service contracts and outsourcing contracts is recognized as the services are provided using either an objective measure of output or on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract.

Income taxes Income taxes are based on income before taxes for financial reporting purposes and reflect a current tax liability for the estimated taxes payable in the current-year tax return and changes in deferred taxes. Deferred tax assets or liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using enacted tax laws and rates. A valuation allowance is provided on deferred tax assets if it is determined that it is more likely than not that the asset will not be realized. The company has elected the policy of not providing for intra-period tax allocations between pretax earnings and other comprehensive income in instances where there is no net tax provision. This determination is made for each tax jurisdiction.

The company recognizes penalties and interest accrued related to income tax liabilities in provision for income taxes in its consolidated statements of income.

Marketable software The cost of development of computer software to be sold or leased, incurred subsequent to establishment of technological feasibility, is capitalized and amortized to cost of sales over the estimated revenue-producing lives of the products, but not in excess of three years following product release. The company performs quarterly reviews to ensure that unamortized costs remain recoverable from future revenue.

Internal-use software The company capitalizes certain internal and external costs incurred to acquire or create internal-use software, principally related to software coding, designing system interfaces, and installation and testing of the software. These costs are amortized in accordance with the fixed asset policy described above.

Outsourcing assets Costs on outsourcing contracts are generally expensed as incurred. However, certain costs incurred upon initiation of an outsourcing contract are deferred and expensed over the initial contract life. These costs consist principally of initial customer setup and employment obligations related to employees hired under terms of the outsourcing contracts. Additionally, marketable software development costs incurred to develop specific application software for outsourcing are capitalized once technological feasibility has been established. Capitalized software used in outsourcing arrangements is amortized based on current and estimated future revenue from the product. The amortization expense is not less than straight-line amortization expense over the product’s useful life. Fixed assets acquired in connection with outsourcing contracts are capitalized and depreciated over the shorter of the initial contract life or in accordance with the fixed asset policy described above.

Recoverability of outsourcing assets is subject to various business risks, including the timely completion and ultimate cost of the outsourcing solution, realization of expected profitability of existing outsourcing contracts and obtaining additional outsourcing customers. The company quarterly compares the carrying value of the outsourcing assets with the undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the outsourcing assets to determine if there is impairment. If impaired, the outsourcing assets are reduced to an estimated fair value on a discounted cash flow basis. The company prepares its cash flow estimates based on assumptions that it believes to be reasonable but are also inherently uncertain. Actual future cash flows could differ from these estimates.

Translation of foreign currency The local currency is the functional currency for most of the company’s international subsidiaries, and as such, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at year-end exchange rates. Income and expense items are translated at average exchange rates during the year. Translation adjustments resulting from changes in exchange rates are reported in other comprehensive income (loss). Exchange gains and losses on intercompany balances are reported in other income (expense), net.

 

25


For those international subsidiaries operating in highly inflationary economies, the U.S. dollar is the functional currency, and as such, nonmonetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical exchange rates, and monetary assets and liabilities are translated at current exchange rates. Exchange gains and losses arising from translation are included in other income (expense), net.

Stock-based compensation plans Stock-based compensation represents the cost related to stock-based awards granted to employees and directors. The company recognizes compensation expense for the fair value of stock options, which have graded vesting, on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The company estimates the fair value of stock options using a Black-Scholes valuation model. The expense is recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Retirement benefits Accounting rules covering defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement benefits require that amounts recognized in financial statements be determined on an actuarial basis. A significant element in determining the company’s retirement benefits expense or income is the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets. This expected return is an assumption as to the average rate of earnings expected on the funds invested or to be invested to provide for the benefits included in the projected pension benefit obligation. The company applies this assumed long-term rate of return to a calculated value of plan assets, which recognizes changes in the fair value of plan assets in a systematic manner over four years. This produces the expected return on plan assets that is included in retirement benefits expense or income. The difference between this expected return and the actual return on plan assets is deferred. The net deferral of past asset losses or gains affects the calculated value of plan assets and, ultimately, future retirement benefits expense or income.

At December 31 of each year, the company determines the fair value of its retirement benefits plan assets as well as the discount rate to be used to calculate the present value of plan liabilities. The discount rate is an estimate of the interest rate at which the retirement benefits could be effectively settled. In estimating the discount rate, the company looks to rates of return on high-quality, fixed-income investments currently available and expected to be available during the period to maturity of the retirement benefits. The company uses a portfolio of fixed-income securities, which receive at least the second-highest rating given by a recognized ratings agency.

Fair value measurements Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. When determining fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required to be recorded at fair value, the company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and also considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability. The fair value hierarchy has three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: Level 1 – Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 – Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data; and Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data. The company has applied fair value measurements to its derivatives (see note 12), to its postretirement plan assets (see note 16) and to its long-term debt (see note 9).

3. Discontinued operations and sale of businesses

On April 30, 2010, the company completed the sale of its health information management (HIM) business, and on August 31, 2010, the company completed the sale of its UK-based Unisys Insurance Services Limited (UISL) business, which provided business process outsourcing (BPO) services to the UK life and pensions industry. In 2010, the company received net proceeds of $117.2 million related to the sale of HIM, UISL and the U.S. specialized technology check sorter equipment and related U.S. maintenance business (discussed below).

The results of total discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 were as follows (in millions of dollars):

In connection with the sale of UISL, the company paid $19.3 million during 2011. On February 1, 2010, the company completed the sale of its U.S. specialized technology check sorter equipment and related U.S. maintenance business. In 2009, the company reported an asset impairment related to this business of $13.4 million. In 2010, the company recorded a loss on the sale of approximately $3.3 million, principally as a result of closing date working capital and other adjustments. The divested business, which had operations in both of the company’s reporting segments of Services and Technology, generated 2009 revenue and pretax loss of approximately $100 million and $3 million, respectively.

In December 2011, the company signed an agreement to sell its South African subsidiary. The sale is expected to close in the first half of 2012 and result in a gain. At December 31, 2011, the assets and liabilities of this subsidiary were reported as held for sale in the company’s consolidated balance sheet as follows: approximately $11 million in “prepaid expenses and other current assets” and approximately $15 million in “other accrued liabilities.” The subsidiary, which has operations in both of the company’s reporting segments of Services and Technology, generated 2011 revenue and pretax income of approximately $40 million and $8 million, respectively.

4. Goodwill

Goodwill is reviewed annually for impairment and whenever events or circumstances occur indicating that goodwill may be impaired. The company performed its annual impairment test in the fourth quarter of 2011, which indicated that goodwill was not impaired.

Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by segment for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 were as follows:

5. Recent accounting pronouncements and accounting changes

Effective January 1, 2011, the company adopted two accounting standards issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) that amend revenue recognition guidance. The first standard supersedes certain prior accounting guidance and requires an entity to allocate arrangement consideration at the inception of an arrangement to all of its deliverables based on their relative standalone selling prices (i.e., the relative-selling-price method). The standard eliminates the use of the residual method of allocation and requires the relative-selling-price method in all circumstances in which an entity recognizes revenue for an arrangement with multiple deliverables subject to this standard. The second standard amends prior software revenue recognition accounting guidance by excluding from the scope of such prior guidance tangible products that contain both software elements and non-software elements that function together to deliver the tangible product’s essential functionality. The company has adopted the new standards prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified on or after January 1, 2011. In certain of the company’s arrangements, revenue was previously deferred for certain deliverables included in multiple element arrangements where the arrangements also included undelivered services for which the company was unable to demonstrate fair value pursuant to previous standards. The new standards require deliverables for which revenue was previously deferred to be separated and recognized as delivered, rather than combined with undelivered items and recognized over the longest service delivery period.

If the new standards were applied to transactions entered into or materially modified in the year ended December 31, 2010, it would not have resulted in a material change to the company’s reported revenue for 2010. The company is not able to reasonably estimate the effect of adopting these standards on future periods as the impact will vary based on the nature and volume of new or materially modified deals in any given period.

On October 1, 2011, the company adopted FASB amendments issued in September 2011 to authoritative accounting guidance to simplify how companies test for goodwill impairment. The amendments permit a company to continue to perform quantitative analyses or to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not (defined as having a likelihood of more than 50 percent) that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test described by current accounting rules. Previous accounting guidance required an entity to test goodwill for impairment, on at least an annual basis, by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. If the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then a second step of the test must be performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. Under the amendments, a company is not required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the company determines that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. Adoption of the amendments did not have a material impact to the company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that amends previous guidance for the presentation of comprehensive income. It eliminates the current option to present other comprehensive income in the statement of changes in equity. Under this revised guidance, an entity will have the option to present the components of net income and other comprehensive income in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive financial statements. The new standard is to be applied retrospectively and is effective for the company beginning in the first quarter of 2012. The company is currently evaluating the alternatives for adopting the guidance. Other than the change in presentation, the company has determined that these changes will not have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2011, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that amends previous guidance for fair value measurement and disclosure requirements. The revised guidance changes certain fair value measurement principles, clarifies the application of existing fair value measurements and expands the disclosure requirements, particularly for Level 3 fair value measurements. This standard is effective for the company beginning in the first quarter of 2012. The company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance, but does not anticipate a material impact to its consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

6. Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable consist principally of trade accounts receivable from customers and are generally unsecured and due within 30 days. Credit losses relating to these receivables consistently have been within management’s expectations. Expected credit losses are recorded as an allowance for doubtful accounts in the consolidated balance sheets. Estimates of expected credit losses are based primarily on the aging of the accounts receivable balances. The company records a specific reserve for individual accounts when it becomes aware of a customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations, such as in the case of bankruptcy filings or deterioration in the customer’s operating results or financial position. The collection policies and procedures of the company vary by credit class and prior payment history of customers.

Revenue recognized in excess of billings on services contracts, or unbilled accounts receivable, was $153.5 million and $189.7 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Such amounts, a portion of which are awaiting resolution of contract disputes, are included in accounts and notes receivable, net and are stated at net realizable value.

Unearned income, which is deducted from accounts and notes receivable, was $4.1 million and zero at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The allowance for doubtful accounts, which is reported as a deduction from accounts and notes receivable, was $35.3 million and $37.0 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The provision for doubtful accounts, which is reported in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of income, was (income) expense of $(.6) million, $(.9) million and $(1.2) million, in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Effective January 1, 2010, the company adopted a new accounting standard whereby sales under its prior U.S. trade accounts receivable securitization facility (the A/R Facility) no longer met the requirements to be treated as sales, and therefore were accounted for as secured borrowings. At December 31, 2010 and thereafter, no receivables had been sold. At December 31, 2009, receivables of $100 million were sold and therefore removed from the company’s consolidated balance sheet. The company received proceeds of $1.2 billion in 2009 from sales of accounts receivable interests under the A/R Facility. The selling price of the receivables interests reflected a discount of 5.3% at December 31, 2009. The discount on the sales of these accounts receivable during the year ended December 31, 2009 was $5.6 million and was recorded in other income (expense), net in the accompanying consolidated statement of income.

In 2010 and 2009, foreign rate differential and other foreign tax expense includes tax (provisions) benefits of $(2.7) million and $7.7 million, respectively, related to prior year foreign tax adjustments.

The 2011 provision for income taxes includes $8.4 million due to a reduction in the UK income tax rate. The rate reduction was enacted in the third quarter of 2011, and reduced the rate from 27% to 26% effective April 1, 2011, and to 25% effective April 1, 2012. The provision of $8.4 million was caused by a write down of the UK net deferred tax assets to the 25% rate. In addition, the 2011 provision for income taxes includes a benefit of $28.3 million related to the settlement of two European tax matters.

The tax effects of temporary differences and carryforwards that give rise to significant portions of deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 2011 and 2010 were as follows:

At December 31, 2011, the company has U.S. Federal ($320.3 million), state and local ($248.3 million), and foreign ($232.0 million) tax loss carryforwards, the total tax effect of which is $800.6 million. These carryforwards will expire as follows (in millions): 2012, $11.3; 2013, $4.6; 2014, $5.8; 2015, $11.5; 2016, $25.4; and $742.0 thereafter. The company also has available tax credit carryforwards of approximately $697.5 million, which will expire as follows (in millions): 2012, $67.1; 2013, $46.4; 2014, $23.2; 2015, $22.4; 2016, $31.1; and $507.3 thereafter.

Failure to achieve forecasted taxable income might affect the ultimate realization of the company’s net deferred tax assets. Factors that may affect the company’s ability to achieve sufficient forecasted taxable income include, but are not limited to, the following: increased competition, a decline in sales or margins, loss of market share, the impact of the economic environment, delays in product availability and technological obsolescence.

Cumulative undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries, for which no U.S. income or foreign withholding taxes have been recorded, approximated $965 million at December 31, 2011. As the company currently intends to indefinitely reinvest all such earnings, no provision has been made for income taxes that may become payable upon distribution of such earnings, and it is not practicable to determine the amount of the related unrecognized deferred income tax liability.

Cash paid, net of refunds, during 2011, 2010 and 2009 for income taxes was $74.9 million, $52.7 million and $58.2 million, respectively.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

 

Year ended December 31 (millions)    2011      2010  

Balance at January 1

   $ 19.5       $ 4.0   

Additions based on tax positions related to the current year

The company recognizes penalties and interest accrued related to income tax liabilities in the provision for income taxes in its consolidated statements of income. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the company had an accrual of $1.0 million and $.9 million, respectively, for the payment of penalties and interest.

At December 31, 2011, all of the company’s liability for unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, would affect the company’s effective tax rate. Within the next 12 months, the company believes that it is reasonably possible that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits may significantly change; however, various events could cause this belief to change in the future.

The company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various states and foreign jurisdictions. The company has concluded a U.S. federal income tax audit of the years 2000-2003 with no material impact. Several U.S. state and foreign income tax audits are in process. There are currently no income tax audits in process in either Brazil or the United Kingdom, which are the most significant jurisdictions outside the U.S. For Brazil, the audit period through 2005 is closed and for the United Kingdom, the audit period through 2008 is closed. All of the various ongoing income tax audits throughout the world are not expected to have a material impact on the company’s financial position.

Internal Revenue Code Sections 382 and 383 provide annual limitations with respect to the ability of a corporation to utilize its net operating loss (as well as certain built-in losses) and tax credit carryforwards, respectively (Tax Attributes), against future U.S. taxable income, if the corporation experiences an “ownership change.” In general terms, an ownership change may result from transactions increasing the ownership of certain stockholders in the stock of a corporation by more than 50 percentage points over a three-year period. The company regularly monitors ownership changes (as calculated for purposes of Section 382). Based on currently available information, the company believes that an ownership change may have occurred during 2011, for purposes of the rules described above. However, the final determination of whether an ownership change has occurred is currently subject to a number of discretionary tax rules and final reporting by shareholders. Moreover, any future transaction or transactions and the timing of such transaction or transactions could trigger additional ownership changes under Section 382.

In the event of an ownership change, utilization of the company’s Tax Attributes will be subject to an estimated overall annual limitation determined in part by multiplying the total adjusted aggregate market value of the company’s common stock immediately preceding the ownership change by the applicable long-term tax-exempt rate, possibly subject to increase based on the built-in gain, if any, in the company’s assets at the time of the ownership change. Any unused annual limitation

may be carried over to later years. Future U.S. taxable income may not be fully offset by existing Tax Attributes, if such income exceeds the company’s annual limitation. However, based on presently available information and the existence of tax planning strategies, currently the company does not expect to incur a cash tax liability in the near term. The company maintains a full valuation allowance against the realization of all U.S. deferred tax assets as well as certain foreign deferred tax assets in excess of deferred tax liabilities.

Total long-term debt

   $ 358.8       $ 823.2   
   

Total long-term debt maturities in 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016 are $.9 million, $ .3 million, $186.2 million, $25.5 million and $150.6 million, respectively.

Cash paid during 2011, 2010 and 2009 for interest was $82.8 million, $111.9 million and $97.6 million, respectively. Capitalized interest expense during 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $4.9 million, $9.1 million and $7.5 million, respectively.

On March 30, 2011, the net proceeds from the sale of mandatory convertible preferred stock (see note 17) were used to redeem an aggregate principal amount of $124.7 million of the company’s senior secured notes due 2014 and an aggregate principal amount of $86.3 million of the company’s senior secured notes due 2015 under the provisions of the indentures relating to the notes that allow the company to redeem, at its option, up to 35% of the original principal amount of each series of notes from the net cash proceeds of one or more equity offerings. As a result of these redemptions, the company recognized a charge of $31.8 million in “Other income (expense), net” in the three months ended March 31, 2011, which was comprised of $28.2 million of premium paid and $3.6 million for the write off of unamortized discounts, issuance costs and gains related to the portion of the notes redeemed.

On April 11, 2011, the company purchased $44.1 million of its senior secured notes due 2014 and $134.8 million of its senior secured notes due 2015 that had been tendered into a cash tender offer conducted by the company. As a result of this purchase of notes, the company recognized a charge of $45.7 million in “Other income (expense), net” in the three months ended June 30, 2011, which is comprised of $42.2 million of premium and expenses paid and $3.5 million for the write off of unamortized discounts, issuance costs and gains related to the portion of the notes purchased.

On November 21, 2011, the company purchased in the open market $20.0 million of its senior secured notes due 2014. As a result, the company recognized a charge of $3.2 million in “Other income (expense), net” in the three months ended December 31, 2011, which is comprised of $3.0 million of premium paid and $.2 million for the write off of unamortized discounts, issuance costs and gains related to the portion of the notes purchased.

 

33


On November 25, 2011, the company redeemed all of the remaining $65.9 million of its 8% senior notes due 2012. As a result of the redemption, the company recognized a charge of $4.4 million in “Other income (expense), net”, which is comprised of $4.3 million of premium and expenses paid and $.1 million for the write off of unamortized issuance costs.

On June 23, 2011, the company entered into a new, five-year, secured revolving credit facility to replace the company’s $150 million U.S. trade accounts receivable securitization facility that terminated on that date. The new credit agreement provides for loans and letters of credit up to an aggregate amount of $150 million (with a limit on letters of credit of $100 million). The prior accounts receivable securitization facility had not provided for letters of credit. Borrowing limits under the new credit agreement are based upon the amount of eligible U.S. accounts receivable. At December 31, 2011, the company had no borrowings and $29.8 million of letters of credit outstanding under the facility. At December 31, 2011, availability under the facility was $85.8 million net of letters of credit issued. Borrowings under the facility will bear interest based on short-term rates. The credit agreement contains customary representations and warranties, including that there has been no material adverse change in the company’s business, properties, operations or financial condition. It also contains financial covenants requiring the company to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and, if the company’s consolidated cash plus availability under the credit facility falls below $130 million, a maximum secured leverage ratio. The credit agreement allows the company to pay dividends on its preferred stock unless the company is in default and to, among other things, repurchase its equity, prepay other debt, incur other debt or liens, dispose of assets and make acquisitions, loans and investments, provided the company complies with certain requirements and limitations set forth in the agreement. Events of default include non-payment, failure to perform covenants, materially incorrect representations and warranties, change of control and default under other debt aggregating at least $50 million. The credit facility is guaranteed by Unisys Holding Corporation, Unisys NPL, Inc. and any future material domestic subsidiaries. The facility is secured on a first priority basis by certain assets of Unisys Corporation and the subsidiary guarantors consisting primarily of the U.S. trade accounts receivable of Unisys Corporation. It is secured on a junior basis (to the senior secured notes due 2014 and 2015) by the other assets of Unisys Corporation and the subsidiary guarantors, other than certain excluded assets. The company may elect to prepay or terminate the credit facility without penalty.

At December 31, 2011, the company has met all covenants and conditions under its various lending agreements. The company expects to continue to meet these covenants and conditions.

The company’s principal sources of liquidity are cash on hand, cash from operations and its new five-year revolving credit facility, discussed above, which has replaced the company’s U.S. trade accounts receivable facility. The company and certain international subsidiaries have access to uncommitted lines of credit from various banks.

The company’s anticipated future cash expenditures include anticipated contributions to its defined benefit pension plans. The company believes that it has adequate sources of liquidity to meet its expected 2012 cash requirements.

10. Other liabilities

Other accrued liabilities (current) are comprised of the following:

 

December 31 (millions)    2011      2010  

Payrolls and commissions

   $ 120.9       $ 143.1   

Accrued vacations

     70.4         75.0   

Taxes other than income taxes

     49.8         59.2   

Income taxes

     28.8         53.9   

Postretirement

     28.7         28.8   

Accrued interest

     14.6         30.9   

Other

     112.3         128.0   

Total other accrued liabilities

   $ 425.5       $ 518.9   
   

11. Rental expense and commitments

Rental expense, less income from subleases, for 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $97.9 million, $100.4 million and $104.5 million, respectively. Income from subleases, for 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $9.8 million, $11.2 million and $14.6 million, respectively.

 

34


Minimum net rental commitments under noncancelable operating leases, including idle leases, outstanding at December 31, 2011, substantially all of which relate to real properties, were as follows: 2012, $67.8 million; 2013, $56.3 million; 2014, $46.5 million; 2015, $37.2 million; 2016, $26.3 million; and $63.2 million thereafter. Such rental commitments have been reduced by minimum sublease rentals of $39.6 million, due in the future under noncancelable subleases. Included in the net rental commitments at December 31, 2011 is $9.4 million related to idle leases.

At December 31, 2011, the company had outstanding standby letters of credit and surety bonds of approximately $324 million related to performance and payment guarantees. On the basis of experience with these arrangements, the company believes that any obligations that may arise will not be material. In addition, at December 31, 2011, the company had deposits and collateral of approximately $57 million in other long-term assets, principally related to collateralized letters of credit, and to tax and labor contingencies in Brazil.

12. Financial instruments and concentration of credit risks

Due to its foreign operations, the company is exposed to the effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on the U.S. dollar, principally related to intercompany account balances. The company uses derivative financial instruments to reduce its exposure to market risks from changes in foreign currency exchange rates on such balances. The company enters into foreign exchange forward contracts, generally having maturities of one month, which have not been designated as hedging instruments. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the notional amount of these contracts was $130.9 million and $26.2 million, respectively and the fair value of such contracts was a net gain of $.8 million and a net gain of $.5 million, respectively, of which a gain of $.9 million and $.5 million, respectively, has been recognized in “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” and a loss of $.1 million and zero, respectively, has been recognized in “Other accrued liabilities.” Changes in the fair value of these instruments was a gain of $3.3 million, a gain of $.6 million and a loss of $.3 million, respectively, for years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, which has been recognized in earnings in “Other income (expense), net” in the company’s consolidated statement of income. The fair value of these forward contracts is based on quoted prices for similar but not identical financial instruments; as such, the inputs are considered Level 2 inputs.

Financial instruments also include temporary cash investments and customer accounts receivable. Temporary investments are placed with creditworthy financial institutions, primarily in money market funds, time deposits and certificate of deposits which may be withdrawn at any time at the discretion of the company without penalty. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the company’s cash equivalents principally have maturities of less than one month or can be withdrawn at any time at the discretion of the company without penalty. Due to the short maturities of these instruments, they are carried on the consolidated balance sheets at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates market value. Realized gains or losses during 2011, 2010 and 2009, as well as unrealized gains or losses at December 31, 2011 and 2010, were immaterial. Receivables are due from a large number of customers that are dispersed worldwide across many industries. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the company had no significant concentrations of credit risk with any one customer. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the company had approximately $140 million and $156 million, respectively, of receivables due from various U.S. federal governmental agencies. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents and notes payable approximated fair value; and the carrying amount of long-term debt was less than the fair value, which is based on market prices (Level 2 inputs), of such debt by approximately $37 million and $140 million, respectively.

13. Foreign currency translation

Due to cumulative inflation of approximately 100 percent or more over the last 3-year period, the company’s Venezuelan subsidiary has applied highly inflationary accounting beginning January 1, 2010. For those international subsidiaries operating in highly inflationary economies, the U.S. dollar is the functional currency, and as such, nonmonetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical exchange rates, and monetary assets and liabilities are translated at current exchange rates. Exchange gains and losses arising from translation are included in other income (expense), net. Effective January 11, 2010, the Venezuelan government devalued the Bolivar Fuerte by 50 percent by resetting the official exchange rate from 2.15 to the U.S. dollar to 4.30 to the U.S. dollar. As a result, the company recorded a foreign exchange loss in the first

 

35


quarter of 2010 of approximately $20 million. The company has used and continues to use the official exchange rate for translation purposes. At December 31, 2011, the company’s operations in Venezuela had net monetary assets denominated in local currency of approximately $19 million.

During the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, the company recognized foreign exchange gains (losses) in “Other income (expense), net” in its consolidated statements of income of $17.2 million, $(43.4) million and $(12.5) million, respectively.

14. Litigation and contingencies

There are various lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings that have been brought or asserted against the company, which arise in the ordinary course of business, including actions with respect to commercial and government contracts, labor and employment, employee benefits, environmental matters, intellectual property, and non-income tax and employment compensation in Brazil. The company records a provision for these matters when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Any provisions are reviewed at least quarterly and are adjusted to reflect the impact and status of settlements, rulings, advice of counsel and other information and events pertinent to a particular matter.

The company believes that it has valid defenses with respect to legal matters pending against it. Based on its experience, the company also believes that the damage amounts claimed in the lawsuits disclosed below are not a meaningful indicator of the company’s potential liability. Litigation is inherently unpredictable, however, and it is possible that the company’s results of operations or cash flow could be materially affected in any particular period by the resolution of one or more of the legal matters pending against it.

The company had a competitively awarded contract with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) that provided for the establishment of secure information technology environments in airports. The Civil Division of the Department of Justice, working with the Inspector General’s Office of the Department of Homeland Security, is reviewing issues relating to labor categorization and overtime on the TSA contract. The Civil Division is also reviewing issues relating to cyber intrusion protection under the TSA and follow-on contracts. The company is working cooperatively with TSA and the Civil Division. The company has commenced preliminary settlement discussions with these government agencies regarding labor categorization and overtime. The company cannot now predict the duration or outcome of these discussions.

The company has contracts with the General Services Administration (GSA), known as Multiple Award Schedule Contracts, under which various U.S. governmental agencies can purchase products and services from the company. Auditors from the GSA’s Office of Inspector General have been reviewing the company’s compliance with the disclosure and pricing provisions under one of these contracts, and whether the company has potentially overcharged the government under the contract. Separately, the company has made a voluntary disclosure about this matter to the responsible GSA contracting officer. The company has provided pricing and other information to the GSA auditors and is working cooperatively with them. The company cannot predict the outcome at this time.

In April 2007, the Ministry of Justice of Belgium sued Unisys Belgium SA-NV, a Unisys subsidiary (Unisys Belgium), in the Court of First Instance of Brussels. The Belgian government had engaged the company to design and develop software for a computerized system to be used to manage the Belgian court system. The Belgian State terminated the contract and in its lawsuit has alleged that the termination was justified because Unisys Belgium failed to deliver satisfactory software in a timely manner. It claims damages of approximately 28 million Euros. Unisys Belgium has filed its defense and counterclaim in the amount of approximately 18.5 million Euros. The company believes it has valid defenses to the claims and contends that the Belgian State’s termination of the contract was unjustified.

In December 2007, Lufthansa AG sued Unisys Deutschland GmbH, a Unisys subsidiary (Unisys Germany), in the District Court of Frankfurt, Germany, for allegedly failing to perform properly its obligations during the initial phase of a 2004 software design and development contract relating to a Lufthansa customer loyalty program. Under the contract, either party was free to withdraw from the project at the conclusion of the initial design phase. Rather than withdraw, Lufthansa instead

 

36


terminated the contract and failed to pay the balance owed to Unisys Germany for the initial phase. Lufthansa’s lawsuit alleges that Unisys Germany breached the contract by failing to deliver a proper design for the new system and seeks approximately 21.4 million Euros in damages. The company believes it has valid defenses and has filed its defense and a counterclaim in the amount of approximately 1.5 million Euros. The litigation is proceeding.

The company’s Brazilian operations, along with those of many other companies doing business in Brazil, are involved in various litigation matters, including numerous governmental assessments related to indirect and other taxes, as well as disputes associated with former employees and contract labor. The tax-related matters pertain to value added taxes, customs, duties, sales and other non-income related tax exposures. The labor-related matters include claims related to compensation matters. The company believes that appropriate accruals have been established for such matters based on information currently available. At December 31, 2011, excluding those matters that have been assessed by management as being remote as to the likelihood of ultimately resulting in a loss, the amount related to unreserved tax-related matters, inclusive of any related interest, is estimated to be up to approximately $140 million. At December 31, 2011, the amount related to unreserved labor-related matters cannot be estimated.

Litigation is inherently unpredictable and unfavorable resolutions could occur. Accordingly, it is possible that an adverse outcome from such matters could exceed the amounts accrued in an amount that could be material to the company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in any particular reporting period.

Notwithstanding that the ultimate results of the lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings that have been brought or asserted against the company are not currently determinable, the company believes that at December 31, 2011, it has adequate provisions for any such matters.

15. Segment information

The company has two business segments: Services and Technology. The products and services of each segment are marketed throughout the world to commercial businesses and governments. Revenue classifications by segment are as follows: Services – systems integration and consulting, outsourcing, infrastructure services and core maintenance; Technology – enterprise-class software and servers and other technology.

The accounting policies of each business segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. Intersegment sales and transfers are priced as if the sales or transfers were to third parties. Accordingly, the Technology segment recognizes intersegment revenue and manufacturing profit on hardware and software shipments to customers under Services contracts. The Services segment, in turn, recognizes customer revenue and marketing profit on such shipments of company hardware and software to customers. The Services segment also includes hardware and software products sourced from third parties that are sold to customers through the company’s Services channels. In the company’s consolidated statements of income, the manufacturing costs of products sourced from the Technology segment and sold to Services customers are reported in cost of revenue for Services.

Also included in the Technology segment’s sales and operating profit are sales of hardware and software sold to the Services segment for internal use in Services engagements. The amount of such profit included in operating income of the Technology segment for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, was $8.2 million, $7.2 million and $14.8 million, respectively. The profit on these transactions is eliminated in Corporate.

The company evaluates business segment performance on operating income exclusive of restructuring charges and unusual and nonrecurring items, which are included in Corporate. Effective January 1, 2011, the company changed the measurement of segment performance that it evaluates to exclude pension income or expense. Prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the 2011 presentation. All other corporate and centrally incurred costs are allocated to the business segments, based principally on revenue, employees, square footage or usage.

No single customer accounts for more than 10% of revenue. Revenue from various agencies of the U.S. Government, which is reported in both business segments, was approximately $652 million, $842 million and $927 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Corporate assets are principally cash and cash equivalents, prepaid postretirement assets and deferred income taxes. The expense or income related to corporate assets is allocated to the business segments. In 2009, corporate assets include an offset for interests in accounts receivable that have been recorded as sales, because such receivables were included in the assets of the business segments.

16. Employee plans

Stock plans Under stockholder approved stock-based plans, stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and restricted stock units may be granted to officers, directors and other key employees. At December 31, 2011, 4.8 million shares of unissued common stock of the company were available for granting under these plans.

As of December 31, 2011, the company has granted non-qualified stock options and restricted stock units under these plans. The company recognizes compensation cost net of a forfeiture rate in selling, general and administrative expenses, and recognizes the compensation cost for only those awards expected to vest. The company estimates the forfeiture rate based on its historical experience and its expectations about future forfeitures.

The company’s employee stock option and time-based restricted stock unit grants include a provision that if termination of employment occurs after the participant has attained age 55 and completed 5 years of service with the company, the participant shall continue to vest in each of his or her awards in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in the applicable award agreement. Compensation expense for such awards is recognized over the period to the date the employee first becomes eligible for retirement. Time-based restricted stock unit grants for the company’s directors vest upon award and compensation expense for such awards is recognized upon grant.

Options have been granted to purchase the company’s common stock at an exercise price equal to or greater than the fair market value at the date of grant, generally have a maximum duration of five years and become exercisable in annual installments over a three-year period following date of grant.

During the year ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, the company recognized $13.9 million, $9.4 million and $.7 million of share-based compensation expense, which is comprised of $4.9 million, $3.9 million and $(1.4) million of restricted stock unit expense (income) and $9.0 million, $5.5 million and $2.1 million of stock option expense, respectively. In 2009, the company reversed $2.4 million of previously-accrued compensation expense related to performance-based restricted stock units due to a change in the assessment of the achievability of the performance goals. In addition, during 2009, the company reversed $2.6 million of previously-accrued share-based compensation principally related to employees terminated in prior periods.

For stock options, the fair value is estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. Principal assumptions used are as follows: (a) expected volatility for the company’s stock price is based on historical volatility and implied market volatility, (b) historical exercise data is used to estimate the options’ expected term, which represents the period of time that the options granted are expected to be outstanding, and (c) the risk-free interest rate is the rate on zero-coupon U.S. government issues with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the options. The company recognizes compensation expense for the fair value of stock options, which have graded vesting, on the straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards. The compensation expense recognized as of any date must be at least equal to the portion of the grant-date fair value that is vested at that date.

The fair value of stock option awards was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions and weighted-average fair values as follows:

Exercisable at December 31, 2011

     1,555         75.56         1.46         $    5.5  

The aggregate intrinsic value represents the total pretax value of the difference between the company’s closing stock price on the last trading day of the period and the exercise price of the options, multiplied by the number of in-the-money stock options that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options on December 31, 2011. The intrinsic value of the company’s stock options changes based on the closing price of the company’s stock. The total intrinsic value of options exercised for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $4.4 million, $5.9 million and zero, respectively. As of December 31, 2011, $8.6 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.7 years.

Restricted stock unit awards may contain time-based units, performance-based units or a combination of both. Each performance-based unit will vest into zero to 1.5 shares depending on the degree to which the performance goals are met. Compensation expense resulting from these awards is recognized as expense ratably for each installment from the date of grant until the date the restrictions lapse and is based on the fair market value at the date of grant and the probability of achievement of the specific performance-related goals.

The fair value of restricted stock units is determined based on the trading price of the company’s common shares on the date of grant. The aggregate weighted-average grant-date fair value of restricted stock units granted during the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $11.3 million, $7.7 million and $1.1 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2011, there was $4.2 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to outstanding restricted stock units granted under the company’s plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.8 years. The aggregate weighted-average grant-date fair value of restricted share units vested during the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $5.7 million, $4.2 million and $3.3 million, respectively.

Common stock issued upon exercise of stock options or upon lapse of restrictions on restricted stock units is newly issued shares. Cash received from the exercise of stock options was $1.4 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. During 2011 and 2010, the company did not recognize any tax benefits from the exercise of stock options or upon issuance of stock upon lapse of restrictions on restricted stock units because of its tax position. Any such tax benefits resulting from tax deductions in excess of the compensation costs recognized are classified as financing cash flows.

Defined contribution and compensation plans U.S. employees are eligible to participate in an employee savings plan. Under this plan, employees may contribute a percentage of their pay for investment in various investment alternatives. Effective

January 1, 2011, the company reinstated a company match to the U.S. employee savings plan, which had been suspended effective January 1, 2009. The company will match 50 percent of the first 6 percent of eligible pay contributed by participants to the plan on a before-tax basis (subject to IRS limits). The company is currently funding and expects to continue to fund the match with the company’s common stock. The charge to income related to the company match for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, was $12.5 million, zero and zero, respectively.

The company has defined contribution plans in certain locations outside the United States. The charge to income related to these plans was $33.7 million, $28.7 million and $26.4 million, for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. For plans outside the United States, company contributions are made in cash.

The company has non-qualified compensation plans, which allow certain highly compensated employees and directors to defer the receipt of a portion of their salary, bonus and fees. Participants can earn a return on their deferred balance that is based on hypothetical investments in various investment vehicles. Changes in the market value of these investments are reflected as an adjustment to the liability with an offset to expense. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the liability to the participants of these plans was $12.0 million and $12.5 million, respectively. These amounts reflect the accumulated participant deferrals and earnings thereon as of that date. The company makes no contributions to the deferred compensation plans and remains contingently liable to the participants.

Retirement benefits In 2006, the company adopted changes to its U.S. defined benefit pension plans effective December 31, 2006. The changes included ending the accrual of future benefits in the company’s defined benefit pension plans for employees effective December 31, 2006. No new entrants to the plans are allowed after that date. In 2008 and 2011, the company adopted changes to certain of its U.K. defined benefit pension plans whereby effective June 30, 2008 and April 1, 2011, all future accruals of benefits under the plans ceased.

Weighted-average assumptions used to determine benefit obligations at December 31 were as follows:

  

Discount rate

     4.96%         5.68%         6.11%           4.65%         5.32%         5.30%

The expected pretax amortization in 2012 of net periodic pension cost is as follows: net loss, $154.1 million; and prior service cost, $.6 million. The amortization of these items is recorded as an element of pension expense. In 2011, pension expense included amortization of $105.3 million of net losses and $.6 million of prior service cost.

The company’s investment policy targets and ranges for each asset category are as follows:

 

     U.S.      Int’l.  
Asset Category    Target      Range      Target      Range  

Equity securities

     58%         52-64%         41%         36-45%

Other

     0%         0%         1%         0-5%   
   

The company periodically reviews its asset allocation, taking into consideration plan liabilities, local regulatory requirements, plan payment streams and then-current capital market assumptions. The actual asset allocation for each plan is monitored at least quarterly, relative to the established policy targets and ranges. If the actual asset allocation is close to or out of any of the ranges, a review is conducted. Rebalancing will occur toward the target allocation, with due consideration given to the liquidity of the investments and transaction costs.

The objectives of the company’s investment strategies are as follows: (a) to provide a total return that, over the long term, increases the ratio of plan assets to liabilities by maximizing investment return on assets, at a level of risk deemed appropriate, (b) to maximize return on assets by investing primarily in equity securities in the U.S. and for international plans by investing in appropriate asset classes, subject to the constraints of each plan design and local regulations, (c) to diversify investments within asset classes to reduce the impact of losses in single investments, and (d) for the U.S. plan to invest in compliance with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), as amended and any subsequent applicable regulations and laws, and for international plans to invest in a prudent manner in compliance with local applicable regulations and laws.

The company sets the expected long-term rate of return based on the expected long-term return of the various asset categories in which it invests. The company considered the current expectations for future returns and the actual historical returns of each asset class. Also, since the company’s investment policy is to actively manage certain asset classes where the potential exists to outperform the broader market, the expected returns for those asset classes were adjusted to reflect the expected additional returns.

In 2012, the company expects to make cash contributions of approximately $241 million to its worldwide defined benefit pension plans, which is comprised of $98 million primarily for non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans and $143 million for the company’s U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan.

As of December 31, 2011, the following benefit payments, which reflect expected future service where applicable, are expected to be paid from the defined benefit pension plans:

The expected pretax amortization in 2012 of net periodic postretirement benefit cost is as follows: net loss, $4.3 million; and prior service cost, $1.8 million.

The company reviews its asset allocation periodically, taking into consideration plan liabilities, plan payment streams and then-current capital market assumptions. The company sets the long-term expected return on asset assumption, based principally on the long-term expected return on debt securities. These return assumptions are based on a combination of current market conditions, capital market expectations of third-party investment advisors and actual historical returns of the asset classes.

In 2012, the company expects to contribute approximately $23 million to its postretirement benefit plan.

The following provides a description of the valuation methodologies and the levels of inputs used to measure fair value, and the general classification of investments in the company’s U.S. and international defined benefit pension plans, and the company’s other postretirement benefit plan.

Level 1 – These investments include cash, common stocks, real estate investment trusts, exchange traded funds, exchange traded futures, and U.S. and U.K. government securities. These investments are valued using quoted prices in an active market. Payables and receivables are also included as Level 1 investments and are valued at face value.

Level 2 – These investments include the following:

Pooled Funds – These investments are comprised of money market funds and fixed income securities. The money market funds are valued at Net Asset Value (NAV) of shares held by the plans at year-end. NAV is a practical expedient for fair value. The NAV is based on the value of the underlying assets owned by the fund, minus its liabilities, divided by the number of units outstanding. The fixed income securities are valued based on quoted prices for identical or similar investments in markets that may not be active.

Commingled Funds – These investments are comprised of debt or equity securities and are valued using the NAV provided by trustees of the funds. The NAV is quoted on a private market that is not active. The unit price is based on underlying investments which are traded on markets that may or may not be active.

 

47


Other Fixed Income – These investments are comprised of corporate and government fixed income investments and asset and mortgage backed securities for which there are quoted prices for identical or similar investments in markets that may not be active.

Derivatives – These investments include forward exchange contracts and options, which are traded on an active market, but not on an exchange; therefore, the inputs may not be readily observable. These investments also include fixed income futures and other derivative instruments.

Level 3 – These investments include the following:

Real Estate and Private Equity – These investments represent interests in limited partnerships which invest in privately held companies or privately held real estate assets. Due to the nature of these investments, pricing inputs are not readily observable. Asset valuations are developed by the general partners that manage the partnerships. These valuations are based on property appraisals, utilization of market transactions that provide valuation information for comparable companies, discounted cash flows, and other methods. These valuations are reported quarterly and adjusted as necessary at year end based on cash flows within the most recent period.

Insurance Contracts – These investments are insurance contracts which are generally invested in corporate and government notes and bonds and mortgages. The insurance contracts are carried at book value and adjusted to fair value based on a market value adjustment (MVA) formula determined by the insurance provider. The MVA formula is based on unobservable inputs.

Commingled Funds – These investments are commingled funds, which include a fund of hedge funds and a global tactical asset allocation fund. The NAV is quoted on a private market that is not active. The unit price is based on underlying investments, which are valued based on unobservable inputs.

17. Stockholders’ equity

The company has 100 million authorized shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share, and 40 million shares of authorized preferred stock, par value $1 per share, issuable in series.

At December 31, 2011, 21.1 million shares of unissued common stock of the company were reserved for stock-based incentive plans and convertible preferred stock.

On February 28, 2011, the company sold 2,587,500 shares of 6.25% mandatory convertible preferred stock for net proceeds of $249.7 million. Each share of mandatory convertible preferred stock will automatically convert on March 1, 2014 into between 2.1899 and 2.6717 shares of the company’s common stock, subject to adjustment, depending on the volume weighted average price per share of the company’s common stock over the 20 consecutive trading days ending on the third trading day immediately preceding the mandatory conversion date. At any time prior to March 1, 2014, holders may elect to convert all or a portion of their shares of the mandatory convertible preferred stock at the minimum conversion rate of 2.1899 shares of the company’s common stock, subject to adjustment.

The company pays dividends on each share of the mandatory convertible preferred stock on a cumulative basis at an annual rate of 6.25% on the initial liquidation preference of $100 per share (equivalent to $6.25 per year per share). Dividends accrue and accumulate from the date of issuance and, to the extent the company has lawfully available funds to pay dividends and the company’s Board of Directors or an authorized committee of the Board of Directors declares a dividend payable, the company will pay dividends on March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1 of each year prior to March 1, 2014 in cash and on March 1, 2014 or any earlier conversion date in cash, shares of the company’s common stock, or a combination thereof, at the company’s election. The annualized dividend on the mandatory convertible preferred stock is approximately $16.2 million until conversion.

Report of Management on the Financial Statements

The management of the company is responsible for the integrity of its financial statements. These statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and include amounts based on the best estimates and judgments of management. Financial information included elsewhere in this report is consistent with that in the financial statements.

KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has audited the company’s financial statements. Its accompanying report is based on an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).

The Board of Directors, through its Audit Committee, which is composed entirely of independent directors, oversees management’s responsibilities in the preparation of the financial statements and selects the independent registered public accounting firm, subject to stockholder ratification. The Audit Committee meets regularly with the independent registered public accounting firm, representatives of management, and the internal auditors to review the activities of each and to assure that each is properly discharging its responsibilities. To ensure complete independence, the internal auditors and representatives of KPMG LLP have full access to meet with the Audit Committee, with or without management representatives present, to discuss the results of their audits and their observations on the adequacy of internal controls and the quality of financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

Unisys Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Unisys Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of income, equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2011. We also have audited Unisys Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Unisys Corporation’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Report of Management on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Unisys Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2011, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, Unisys Corporation maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

Report of Management on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The management of the company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of the financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.

Management assessed the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, we concluded that the company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, based on the specified criteria.

KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has audited the company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, as stated in their report that appears on the preceding page.
