Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Agreement and Plan of Merger
On November 28, 2012, NCR Corporation, a Maryland corporation ("NCR") entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") by and among NCR, Moon S.P.V. (Subsidiary) Ltd., a private company formed under the laws of the State of Israel and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of NCR ("Merger Sub"), and Retalix Ltd., a public company formed under the laws of the State of Israel (the "Company"). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company surviving as the continuing corporation in the Merger and becoming an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of NCR (the "Merger"), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement. The Merger is structured as a statutory merger pursuant to Sections 314-327 of the Companies Law, 5759-1999 of the State of Israel. NCR is expecting to finance the transaction through a combination of cash and debt. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time"), each ordinary share, nominal value NIS 1.00 per share, of the Company (the "Shares'), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any Shares owned by Merger Sub or NCR or any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of NCR or the Company, each of which will be cancelled and retired without any conversion or consideration) will be converted into the right to receive $30.00 in cash and without interest (subject to any applicable withholding tax) (the "Merger Consideration"). Each Company option and warrant outstanding immediately prior to the Merger, whether or not then vested and exercisable, will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive, for each Share subject to such option or warrant, an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the per share exercise price of such option or warrant. For any unvested options, the net amount of cash will be paid to a trustee (or, in the case of certain Israeli employees' options, to the Company subsidiary employing them) at the Effective Time and then released to the option holder in accordance with the vesting schedule already in place and subject to the pre-existing conditions of the option (including employment conditions). In the case of any option (whether vested or not) issued under the capital gains route of Section 102 of the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance [New Version] 1961, the proceeds will only be released by the trustee in accordance with the requirements of Section 102.
The consummation of the Merger is subject to certain conditions, including, among others: (i) the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the voting power of the holders of the Company's Shares present and voting in person or by proxy at a meeting of the Company's shareholders, excluding abstentions (and excluding any shares held by NCR, or by any person holding at least 25% of the means of control of NCR, or anyone acting on behalf of either of them, including any of their affiliates); (ii) the absence of the existence of a material adverse effect with respect to the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole; (iii) the approval by the Investment Center of the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labor established under the Israel Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959, as to the continuousness of the tax benefits to which the Company is eligible with respect to its Approved Enterprise Status or Benefited Enterprise Status; (iv) the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the expiration or termination of any similar waiting period under any applicable Israeli antitrust laws and the receipt of any consent required under Israeli antitrust laws; (v) the lapse of at least 50 days after the filing of the Merger proposal with the Registrar of Companies of the State of Israel and at least 30 days after the approval of the Merger by the Company's shareholders and by the shareholder of Merger Sub; (vi) the absence of any order or injunction prohibiting the consummation of the Merger; (vii) the accuracy of the representations and warranties of each party in the Merger Agreement (most of which are subject to an overall material adverse effect qualification or

other materiality qualifications); (viii) compliance in all material respects, or except as would not have a material adverse effect, by NCR and the Company, respectively, with their respective covenants under the Merger Agreement; (ix) the filing of a notification in standard form by NCR with the Office of the Chief Scientist of the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labor of the State of Israel; and (x) the retention of certain employees of the Company, determined according to specific categories.
The Merger Agreement contains customary covenants, including, among others, a covenant by the Company to conduct its business in the ordinary course during the interim period between the execution of the Merger Agreement and consummation of the Merger and not to engage in certain kinds of activities during such period. In addition, the Company has agreed not to (i) solicit, initiate, encourage or take any other action to knowingly facilitate the submission of, or any inquiries with respect to, any third-party acquisition proposals for the Company, (ii) participate in any discussions or negotiations with, or furnish any information or data or otherwise cooperate with, any third-party regarding any acquisition proposals or potential acquisition proposals for the Company, (iii) enter into any agreement for a third-party acquisition proposal for the Company or any agreement that would require the Company to terminate, abandon or fail to consummate the Merger and (iv) approve, adopt, endorse or recommend to the Company's shareholders any third-party acquisition proposal for the Company. The Company has also agreed not to permit its subsidiaries or any of the Company's or the Company's subsidiaries' respective representatives to do so, and has agreed to restrictions on its, its subsidiaries' and respective representatives' ability to respond to any such proposals, as more fully described in the Merger Agreement. Each of these covenants is subject to exceptions as provided in the Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for both the Company and NCR. In certain circumstances involving termination of the Merger Agreement, the Company will be required to pay NCR a $22,500,000 termination fee, including
(i) if the Company enters into a definitive agreement with respect to a superior proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement) pursuant to the Company Board's fiduciary obligations, (ii) if NCR terminates the Merger Agreement as a result of the condition to closing of the Merger not being satisfied due to the breach or inaccuracy of any representation and warranty made by the Company, or the Company's failure to perform any covenant or agreement, in the Merger Agreement and prior to termination of the Merger Agreement by NCR, a proposal for an alternative transaction is received by the Company or publicly announced and, within 12 months after the date of the termination of the Merger Agreement by NCR, the Company enters into or consummates an alternative transaction, or (iii) if the Company commits certain material breaches of its covenants related to non-solicitation provisions and NCR terminates the Merger Agreement as a result. The Merger Agreement also includes detailed representations and warranties of the Company, NCR and Merger Sub.

In addition, such representations and warranties
