INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

On March 1, 2000, TSYS’ Board of Directors appointed KPMG LLP as the independent audi-tors to audit the financial statements of TSYS and its subsidiaries for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2000. The Board of Directors knows of no direct or material indirect financial interest by KPMG in TSYS or of any connection between KPMG and TSYS in the capacity of promoter, underwriter, voting trustee, director, officer, shareholder or employee.
Representatives of KPMG will be present at TSYS’ 2000 Annual Meeting with the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.
