Vision Works for Our Investors
 

Richard Ussery, Chairman of the Board and CEO,
and Philip Tomlinson, President

 

Why own TSYS stock?

Rick:

It has been a consistent investment for our shareholders. Our stock has delivered a return of more than 27* percent on an annualized basis, or 7,524* percent, since our initial public offering in 1983. If you had invested $10,000 in TSYS then, that investment would be worth more than $752,000* today. That’s pretty impressive.

*as of December 31, 2001

TSYS is fortunate to be in an industry where there is a dynamic shift from the use of cash and writing checks to using a credit, debit or stored value card. This fundamental trend makes our business grow despite various economic cycles.
