PROXY STATEMENT
EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON TUESDAY, JULY 31, 2012
References in this Proxy Statement to Amdocs, we, our and us refer to Amdocs Limited and its consolidated subsidiaries and their respective predecessors.
This Proxy Statement and the accompanying proxy are being furnished to shareholders of Amdocs Limited, a company organized under the laws of Guernsey, in connection with the solicitation by our Board of Directors of proxies from holders of its outstanding ordinary shares, par value £0.01 per share, for use at the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders to be held at 8:00 a.m., local time, on Tuesday, July 31, 2012, at the offices of Amdocs, Inc., Harborside Financial Center, Plaza 5, Suite 2700, Jersey City, NJ 07311, or at any adjournments thereof (the Special Meeting).
This Proxy Statement and the accompanying proxy are first being mailed or delivered to our shareholders on or about June 25, 2012.
At the Special Meeting, the holders of our ordinary shares as of 5:00 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time on June 15, 2012 (the Record Date) will be asked to approve the institution of a quarterly cash dividend program at the quarterly rate of $0.13 per ordinary share (the Proposal).
The proxy confers discretionary authority with respect to any amendments or modifications of proposals that properly may be brought before the Special Meeting. As of the date hereof, we are not aware of any such amendments or modifications or other matters to be presented for action at the Special Meeting. However, if any other matters properly come before the Special Meeting, the proxies solicited hereby will be exercised on such matters in accordance with the reasonable judgment of the proxyholders.
As of the Record Date, Amdocs had outstanding 165,739,533 ordinary shares. Each ordinary share is entitled to one vote on all matters presented at the Special Meeting. Only holders of record of ordinary shares at the close of business on the Record Date are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Special Meeting. Votes cast in person or by proxy at the Special Meeting will be tabulated by the inspector of elections appointed for the Special Meeting who will also determine whether a quorum is present for the transaction of business. Two or more shareholders of record, together holding a majority of our outstanding ordinary shares present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for purposes of the Special Meeting.
Approval of the Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of our ordinary shares voted in person or by proxy at the Special Meeting.
The enclosed proxy provides that each shareholder may specify that his, her or its ordinary shares be voted for, against or abstain from voting with respect to the Proposal. If proxies in the accompanying form are properly executed and returned, the ordinary shares represented thereby will be voted in the manner specified therein. If not otherwise specified, in the reasonable discretion of the proxyholders, the ordinary shares represented by a proxy will be voted FOR the Proposal.
Proxies will not be counted as voting in respect of the Proposal if abstention is indicated, but abstentions will be counted as ordinary shares that are present for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the Special Meeting. Nominees who are members of the New York Stock Exchange, or the NYSE, and who, as brokers, hold ordinary shares in street name for customers have, generally, by NYSE rules, the authority to vote on certain items in the absence of instructions from their customers, the beneficial owners of the ordinary shares. Such nominees or brokers will not have authority to vote shares in regards to the Proposal (the Broker Non-Votes) and we will not count those votes in favor of the Proposal. Broker Non-Votes will not be counted as ordinary shares that are present for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present.
2
Shareholders of record are entitled to appoint one or more proxies to attend and vote at the Special Meeting in their stead. If a shareholder of record elects to appoint a proxy other than by using the enclosed proxy card (or by Internet or telephone as provided in the instructions set forth in the enclosed proxy card), the shareholder must deliver such proxy, together with a power of attorney or other authority, at or before the Special Meeting on July 31, 2012. We strongly encourage our shareholders to use the enclosed proxy card or to authorize the voting of their shares over the Internet or by telephone as provided in the instructions set forth in the enclosed proxy card.
Any shareholder giving a proxy may revoke it at any time before it is exercised at the Special Meeting by:
| Filing with our Secretary, in care of our principal U.S. subsidiary, Amdocs, Inc. (at the address that appears on the last page of this Proxy Statement), written notice of such revocation bearing a later date than the proxy or a subsequent proxy relating to the same ordinary shares, provided that such proxy or subsequent proxy shall be deposited at such address at least 48 hours before the scheduled Special Meeting or adjournment thereof, as the case may be; or |
| Attending the Special Meeting and voting in person (although attendance at the Special Meeting will not in and of itself constitute revocation of a proxy). |

THE PROPOSAL
SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL OF DIVIDEND
Background
Article 92 of our Articles of Incorporation provides that our Board of Directors may declare and pay dividends on our ordinary shares, subject to compliance with applicable law, and subject to the approval of our shareholders by Ordinary Resolution (as defined in our Articles of Incorporation).
On May 1, 2012, and subject to shareholder approval, our Board of Directors approved the institution of a quarterly cash dividend program at the quarterly rate of $0.13 per ordinary share.
Based on the number of ordinary shares outstanding on the Record Date, the aggregate quarterly dividend payment would be approximately $21.5 million. Based on the number of shares outstanding as of the Record Date, $657,601 of the $21.5 million quarterly dividend would be paid on shares beneficially owned by our directors and executive officers as a group.
In order to permit us to implement this quarterly cash dividend program, our Board of Directors proposes that our shareholders approve the program at the Special Meeting.
Reasons for the Proposed Dividend Program; Share Repurchase Plans
Our Board of Directors believes that it is in the best interests of our shareholders to implement this dividend program.
Since the end of the Companys fiscal year ended September 30, 2008, the Company has generated:
| quarterly revenues in the range of $690.3 million to $812.2 million; |
| quarterly net income in the range of $68.6 million to $101.9 million; and |
| quarterly free cash flow in the range of $52.6 million to $169.8 million. |
The Company believes this track record of predictable free cash flows and revenues, together with its long-standing and strong customer relationships, permits it to implement this dividend program as a means to return additional cash to shareholders. This is not a complete presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, so we encourage you to review our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011 set forth in our Annual Report on Form 20-F filed on December 8, 2011 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, as well as our consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 set forth in our Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K filed with the SEC on May 15, 2012.
Since 2010, we have repurchased our ordinary shares, through a subsidiary, at an increased pace. In April 2010, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase plan allowing the repurchase of up to $700 million of our outstanding ordinary shares over the following 12 months. In February 2011, our Board of Directors adopted a share repurchase plan authorizing the repurchase of up to $1 billion of our outstanding ordinary shares over the following 24 months. These authorizations permit us to purchase our ordinary shares in open market or privately negotiated transactions at times and prices that we consider appropriate. In April 2011, we completed the repurchase of the remaining authorized amount under the April 2010 share repurchase plan and began executing repurchases under the February 2011 plan. As of the Record Date, since the implementation of the April 2010 share repurchase plan, we have repurchased approximately 47.6 million ordinary shares at an average price of $28.71 per share (excluding broker and transaction fees). As of the Record Date, we had remaining authority to repurchase up to $333.9 million of our outstanding ordinary shares under the February 2011 share repurchase plan.
4
Following the completion of our current share repurchase authorization in February 2013, our current expectation is to continue share repurchase activity, albeit at a more moderate pace than since 2010.
Timing of the Dividend Program
If our shareholders approve the Proposal, our Board of Directors will consider on a quarterly basis whether to declare and pay a dividend in accordance with the terms of the dividend program, and in accordance with applicable Guernsey law. Guernsey law requires that our Board of Directors consider a dividends effects on our solvency before it may be declared or paid. Provided that the per share amount and the frequency of the dividend do not increase, then no further shareholder approval beyond that requested at the Special Meeting will be required for dividends payable pursuant to this program; however, any increase to the per share amount or frequency of the dividend would require further shareholder approval. If our shareholders approve the Proposal, our Board of Directors will have the authority to reduce the quarterly dividend or discontinue the dividend program should it determine that doing so is in the best interests of our shareholders or is necessary pursuant to Guernsey law.
Subject to shareholder approval, the Company expects to begin paying this dividend during the quarter ending December 31, 2012.
In the event that shareholder approval is not obtained, no dividend will be paid pursuant to the dividend program.
Tax Considerations
In general, a U.S. holder receiving a distribution with respect to the ordinary shares will be required to include such distribution (including the amount of foreign taxes, if any, withheld therefrom) in gross income as a taxable dividend to the extent such distribution is paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Any distributions in excess of such earnings and profits will first be treated, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as a nontaxable return of capital to the extent of the U.S. holders tax basis in the ordinary shares, and then, to the extent in excess of such tax basis, as gain from the sale or exchange of a capital asset. In general, U.S. corporate shareholders will not be entitled to any deduction for distributions received as dividends on the ordinary shares.
Dividend income is generally taxed as ordinary income. However, a maximum U.S. federal income tax rate of 15% currently applies to qualified dividend income received by individuals (as well as certain trusts and estates), provided that certain holding period requirements are met. Qualified dividend income includes dividends paid on shares of U.S. corporations as well as dividends paid on shares of qualified foreign corporations, including shares of a foreign corporation that are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States. Since our ordinary shares are readily tradable on the NYSE, we believe that dividends paid by us with respect to our ordinary shares should constitute qualified dividend income for U.S. federal income tax purposes, provided that the holding period requirements are satisfied and none of the other special exceptions applies. The reduced tax rate for qualified dividend income is scheduled to expire on December 31, 2012, unless further extended by Congress. In addition, dividends paid by us will not qualify for the 15% U.S. federal income tax rate if we are treated, for the tax year in which the dividends are paid or the preceding tax year, as a passive foreign investment company for U.S. federal income tax purposes, which we would be if (i) at least 75% of our gross income is passive income (i.e., dividends, interest, royalties, rents and gains from commodities and securities transactions), or (ii) on average at least 50% of the gross value of our assets is attributable to assets that produce passive income or are held for the production of passive income. We do not believe that we will be classified as such in the current taxable year and do not expect to become one in the foreseeable future
5
The amount of foreign income taxes that may be claimed as a credit against U.S. federal income tax in any year is subject to certain complex limitations and restrictions, which must be determined on an individual basis by each U.S. holder. The limitations set out in the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, include, among others, rules that may limit foreign tax credits allowable with respect to specific classes of income to the U.S. federal income taxes otherwise payable with respect to each such class of income. Dividends paid by us generally will be foreign source passive income or financial services income for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes.
In addition, U.S. holders generally will be subject to information reporting requirements with respect to dividends that are paid within the United States or through U.S.-related financial intermediaries, unless the U.S. holder is an exempt recipient. U.S. holders may also be subject to backup withholding (currently at 28%, but scheduled to increase to 31% for payments made after December 31, 2012) on such payments, unless the U.S. holder provides a taxpayer identification number and a duly executed IRS Form W-9 or otherwise establishes an exemption. Backup withholding is not an additional tax and the amount of any backup withholding will be allowed as a credit against a U.S. holders U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such holder to a refund, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.
Required Affirmative Vote
The affirmative vote of holders of a majority of our ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy at the Special Meeting is necessary for approval of the cash dividend program.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT THE SHAREHOLDERS VOTE FOR THE INSTITUTION OF A QUARTERLY CASH DIVIDEND PROGRAM.
