CAUTIONARY STATEMENT
Statements and estimates that may be discussed in management's report to
shareholders are forward-looking as defined in the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995, and, as such, are necessarily subject to risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual future results to differ materially from
those projected. Additional information about various factors that could cause
actual results to differ from those presented are contained in the quarterly
report or Forms 10-Q filed by Deluxe Corporation and eFunds Corporation for the
quarter ended June 30, 2000.
In addition, we have previously announced that, subject to receipt of a ruling
from the Internal Revenue Service that the transaction will be tax free, Deluxe
intends to distribute the balance of its interest in eFunds to its shareholders
through an exchange offer.
We urge investors and security holders to read eFunds Corporation's Registration
Statement on Form S-4, including the prospectus relating to the exchange offer,
when it becomes available because they will contain important information. When
these and other documents become available they may be obtained from the SEC's
web site at www.sec.gov. Holders of Deluxe common stock may also obtain each of
these documents (when they become available) for free by directing your request
to Deluxe Corporation, c/o Shareholder Services, P.O. Box 64873, St, Paul,
Minnesota, 55164-0873.
Comments made about the exchange offer shall not constitute an offer to sell or
the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sales of securities
in any state in which the offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to
registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state. No
offering of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the
requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Because of the limitations imposed by the Securities Act and applicable rules
and regulations, management cannot discuss the exchange offer. Because of those
legal limitations and because a successful exchange offer will affect the number
of Deluxe shares outstanding, management will not provide financial forecasts or
other similar forward looking financial information.
