Heartland Payment Systems Completes Acquisition of TouchNet Information Systems,
Inc. and Establishes New Bank Credit Facility

Borrowing Capacity Now Includes $375 Million Term Loan and $400 Million
Revolving Credit

Princeton, NJ – September 4, 2014 – Heartland Payment Systems (NYSE: HPY), one
of the nation's largest payment processors and leading provider of
merchant business solutions, today announced that the Company has completed the
acquisition of TouchNet Information Systems, Inc., an integrated commerce
solutions provider to higher-education institutions. TouchNet adds over 600
higher education clients serving over six million students – nearly one-third of
the higher-education enrollment in the United States – to Heartland’s Campus
Solutions business. When combined with Heartland’s existing portfolio of
payments, loan servicing and other campus solutions, the acquisition makes
Heartland the largest provider of integrated commerce solutions to the
higher-education market.

Under the terms of the agreement, Heartland paid a purchase price of $375
million in cash. The purchase was funded primarily with a new 5-year, $375
million secured term loan, which comprised a portion of a new credit facility
that closed simultaneously with the acquisition. The new credit facility also
includes a secured $400 million revolving credit line. Lead arrangers for the
new credit facility were Bank of America Merrill Lynch, BMO Capital Markets
Corp. and SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc.
