Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

     On August 4, 2011, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated November 17, 2010, among VeriFone Systems, Inc.

     At the effective time and as a result of the Merger, each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Hypercom Common Stock”), of Hypercom issued and outstanding (other than shares of Hypercom Common Stock that are owned by the Company or Hypercom or any direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Hypercom and in each case not held on behalf of third parties) was converted into and became exchangeable for 0.23 shares (the “Exchange Ratio”) of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Company Common Stock”).

     In addition, options to acquire Hypercom Common Stock, restricted stock unit awards and other equity-based awards denominated in shares of Hypercom Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger were converted into options, restricted stock unit awards, or other equity-based awards, as the case may be, denominated in shares of Company Common Stock based on the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share (in the case of options) equal to the exercise price of the option immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger divided by the Exchange Ratio.
