NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Amounts in millions except per share amounts)

1. BACKGROUND AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Convergys Corporation (Convergys or the Company) is a global leader in customer experience outsourcing, focused on bringing value to its clients through every customer interaction. As of June 30, 2018, Convergys had approximately 110,000employees in 33countries, interacting with our clients' customers in 58languages. In order to help clients serve their customers, Convergys operates 133contact centers. Convergys leverages its geographic footprint and comprehensive capabilities to help leading companies create quality customer experiences across multiple interaction channels, such as voice, chat, email and interactive voice response.

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial reporting (U.S. GAAP) and U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulations and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for each period shown. All adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in Financial Statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States have been condensed or omitted. Interim Consolidated Financial Statements are not necessarily indicative of the financial position or operating results for an entire year. These interim Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Financial Statements and the Notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, filed with the SEC on February 21, 2018.

2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In July 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2018-09, Codification Improvements. This standard does not prescribe any new accounting guidance, but instead makes minor improvements and clarifications of several different FASB Accounting Standards Codification areas based on comments and suggestions made by various stakeholders. Certain updates are applicable immediately while others provide for a transition period to adopt as part of the next fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. This ASU permits companies to reclassify disproportionate tax effects in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) caused by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the 2017 Tax Act) to retained earnings. The Company elected to early adopt this standard as of January 1, 2018, on a prospective basis, resulting in a $6.0reclassification adjustment, using a specific identification method, that increased retained earnings and decreased AOCI.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Stock Compensation - Scope of Modification Accounting. This ASU clarifies which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require the application of modification accounting under ASC 718. The Company adopted this standard as of January 1, 2018. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. This ASU eliminates the two-step process that required identification of potential impairment and a separate measure of the actual impairment. Goodwill impairment charges, if any, would be determined by the difference between a reporting unit's carrying value and its fair value (impairment loss is limited to the carrying value). This standard is effective for annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests beginning after December 15, 2019. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230). The objective of this update is to provide additional guidance and reduce diversity in practice when classifying certain transactions within the statement of cash flows. In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash. This new standard requires that the statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. These standards are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted these standards as of January 1, 2018 utilizing the retrospective transition method. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. This ASU will require lessees to recognize almost all leases on the balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. For income statement purposes, the FASB retained a dual model, requiring leases to be classified as finance leases or operating leases. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842 (Leases), which provides narrow amendments to clarify how to apply certain aspects of the new lease standard. Both standards are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual periods and are to be applied utilizing a modified retrospective approach. The Company will adopt these standards on January 1, 2019 and is currently assessing the effects that adoption of the new standards will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, as well as its processes, systems and internal controls. The Company currently expects adoption of these standards will result in a material increase to the assets and liabilities reported on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The standard applies one comprehensive revenue recognition model across all contracts, entities and sectors. The core principal of the new standard is that revenue should be recognized to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard includes cost guidance, whereby all direct and incremental costs to obtain or fulfill a contract with a customer are capitalized and amortized over the corresponding period of benefit. The Company adopted this standard for all contracts with customers outstanding on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective adoption method, which resulted in a $3.2adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. Results for reporting periods after January 1, 2018 are presented under ASU 2014-09, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the accounting standards in effect for those periods. The largest adoption impacts to the Company's consolidated financial statements resulted from the new qualitative and quantitative disclosures provided in Note 4, and the capitalization of certain direct and incremental contract costs that are now being capitalized and amortized over the estimated period of benefit of the corresponding contracts. The new standard does not have an impact on the timing or revenue recognition pattern of any of our identified revenue streams. The cumulative effect of the changes made to our January 1, 2018 Consolidated Balance Sheet for the adoption of ASU 2014-09 were as follows:

	Balance at			Adjustments Due to			Balance at

3. SYNNEX MERGER

On June 28, 2018, Convergys entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the Merger Agreement) with SYNNEX Corporation (SYNNEX) under which SYNNEX will acquire Convergys in a cash and stock transaction.

The Merger Agreement provides, among other things, that on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, (1) Delta Merger Sub I, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of SYNNEX, will be merged with and into the Company (the Initial Merger), with the Company surviving the Initial Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of SYNNEX, and (2) immediately following the Initial Merger, the Company will be merged with and into Delta Merger Sub II, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of SYNNEX (the Subsequent Merger, and together with the Initial Merger, the Mergers), with Delta Merger Sub II surviving the Subsequent Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of SYNNEX.

On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Initial Merger, each Company common share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Initial Merger (other than certain excluded shares) will automatically be converted into the right to receive (1) $13.25in cash, without interest, and (2) 0.1193shares of SYNNEX common stock, par value $0.001per share, subject to adjustment as provided in the Merger Agreement in the event that the trading price of SYNNEX common stock prior to the closing of the Mergers increases or decreases by more than 10% from a baseline price.

The closing of the Mergers is subject to (1) approval by the SYNNEX stockholders of the issuance of SYNNEX common stock to be paid as consideration in the Initial Merger, (2) the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the Company's shareholders, and (3) other customary closing conditions.

4. REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS

Revenue Recognition Policy

More than 95%of the Company's revenues are derived from fees for customer experience outsourcing services provided to the Company's clients. Revenues from our contracts to provide these services relate to a single performance obligation to stand ready to provide services to the customer. The Company recognizes these revenues over time as services are performed based on the volumes of services provided and contractual rates. The Company's remaining revenues, which represent less than 5%of the Company's total revenues, are derived from the sale of premise-based and hosted self-care and technology solutions and provision of professional services. Revenues from the sale of these solutions and provision of these services are recognized over time as solutions or services are provided over the duration of the contract, using contractual rates. These contracts are typically one year or less in duration.

Certain of our contracts, primarily for agent-related services, include pricing terms and conditions that include components of variable consideration. The variable consideration is typically in the form of performance-related bonus and penalty provisions that are determined based upon our meeting, or not meeting, agreed-upon service levels and performance metrics specified within the contract. Some contracts also contain discounts that the client can earn through the achievement of specified volume levels or through early payment for services provided by Convergys. Each component of variable consideration is earned based on the Company's actual performance during the measurement period specified within the contract (typically monthly for bonus and penalty provisions and either quarterly or annually for volume discounts). In order to determine the transaction price, the Company estimates the variable consideration using the most likely amount method, based on the specific contract provisions and known performance results during the relevant measurement period. When determining if variable consideration should be constrained, the Company considers whether factors outside its control could result in a significant reversal of revenue. In making these assessments, the Company considers the likelihood and magnitude of a potential reversal. The Company's performance period generally corresponds with the monthly invoice period. Given our historical experiences and relatively short duration of periods subject to variable consideration adjustments, no constraints on our revenue recognition were applied during the first six months of 2018. The Company reassesses these estimates during each reporting period.

Disaggregation of Revenue

We provide services to companies across a variety of industries including communications, technology, retail, financial services, healthcare and other. The following table presents our disaggregated revenue from customers by key industry vertical for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018and 2017.

The following table presents the Company's U.S. dollar equivalent revenue by currency for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018and 2017.

Costs to Obtain a Contract

The Company capitalizes commission expenses paid to our sales personnel when the commissions are deemed to be incremental for obtaining new agent-related services contracts. The deferred commissions are amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected period of benefit. We review the deferred commission balances for impairment on an ongoing basis. Deferred commissions are classified as current or noncurrent based on the timing of when we expect to recognize the expense. The current and noncurrent portions are included in Other current assets and Other assets, respectively, on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of June 30, 2018, the current and noncurrent assets related to deferred commissions totaled $2.7and $2.8, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, we recorded $0.8and $1.5, respectively, of amortization expense related to deferred commissions. This expense is classified in Selling, general and administrative expense on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Receivables and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Trade receivables are comprised of amounts owed to the Company by clients and are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Contracts with individual clients determine when receivables are due, generally within 30 to 60 days, and whether interest is accrued on late payments. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company's best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company's existing accounts receivable balance. The Company regularly reviews the adequacy of its allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company determines the allowance based on historical write-off experience and current economic conditions and also considers factors such as customer credit, past transaction history with the customer and changes in customer payment terms when determining whether the collection of a receivable is reasonably assured. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.

Volume Discounts

Certain contracts with customers contain discounts that the client can earn through the achievement of specified volume levels or through early payment for services provided by Convergys. The Company maintains a liability for these discounts within Payables and other current liabilities on its Consolidated Balance Sheets. The liabilities for these discounts totaled $4.4as of June 30, 2018.

The diluted EPS calculation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018excludes 0.3performance-based restricted stock units granted in 2016, as the performance criteria has not yet been achieved, as well as 0.4performance-based restricted stock units (0.1and 0.3granted in 2018and 2017, respectively), as performance criteria for the third year of the 2017 grants and the second and third years of the 2018 grants have not yet been fully defined, thereby precluding a grant for accounting purposes due to a lack of a mutual understanding of the terms of the stock-based awards.

The diluted EPS calculation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018includes 6.2shares associated with the Company's convertible debt. As described more fully in Note 7, during 2009, the Company issued approximately $125.0aggregate principal amount of 5.75%Junior Subordinated Convertible Debentures due 2029(2029 Convertible Debentures). The 2029 Convertible Debentures were convertible, subject to certain conditions, into shares of the Company's common stock at an initial implied conversion price of approximately $12.07per share, or eighty-two and eighty-two hundredthsshares per one thousanddollars in principal amount of debentures. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment for certain events outlined in the indenture governing the 2029 Convertible Debentures (the Indenture), including payment of dividends. As of June 30, 2018, the implied conversion price for the 2029 Convertible Debentures was approximately $11.07per share, or ninety and thirty-seven hundredthsshares per one thousanddollars in principal amount of debentures.

Shareholders' Equity

The Company repurchased 0.5and 1.2of its common shares during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018at an average price of $23.33and $23.10per share for a total of $10.5and $26.8. Based upon the timing of transactions, $0.3of the shares repurchased during December 2017settled during the first quarter of 2018.

As of June 30, 2018, the Company had the authority to repurchase $34.7of outstanding common shares pursuant to the Board of Directors' August 2015 authorization to increase the remaining authorized share repurchases to $250.0in the aggregate. The timing and terms of any future transactions will depend on a number of considerations including market conditions, our available liquidity and capital needs, and limits on share repurchases that may be applicable under the covenants in our Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, we may not, without SYNNEX's consent, repurchase shares prior to the closing of the Mergers or termination of the Merger Agreement.

Dividends

During 2017and 2018, the Company's Board of Directors declared the following dividends per common share, which were paid by the Company on the payment dates listed below:

Announcement Date	Record Date	Dividend Amount	Payment Date
February 22, 2017	March 24, 2017	$0.09	April 7, 2017
May 8, 2017	June 23, 2017	$0.10	July 7, 2017
August 8, 2017	September 22, 2017	$0.10	October 6, 2017
November 7, 2017	December 22, 2017	$0.10	January 5, 2018
February 21, 2018	March 23, 2018	$0.10	April 6, 2018
May 8, 2018	June 22, 2018	$0.11	July 6, 2018

The Board expects that future cash dividends will be paid on a quarterly basis until the closing of the Mergers. However, any decision to pay future cash dividends will be subject to Board approval, and will depend on the Company's future earnings, cash flow, financial condition, financial covenants and other relevant factors.

The Merger Agreement limits our ability to pay dividends. The Merger Agreement generally provides that prior to the closing of the Mergers or termination of the Merger Agreement, we cannot, without SYNNEX's consent, make, declare or pay any dividend on our common shares other than regular quarterly cash dividends not in excess of $0.11per share.

6. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE AND LONG-LIVED ASSETS

Goodwill

Goodwill was $933.6at June 30, 2018compared to $937.9at December 31, 2017. This decrease was due to foreign currency translation. The Company tests goodwill for impairment annually as of October 1 and at other times if events have occurred or circumstances exist that indicate the carrying value of goodwill may no longer be recoverable. Goodwill impairment testing is performed at the reporting unit level, one level below the business segment. The Company's reporting units are Customer Management - Agent Services and Customer Management - Customer Interaction Technology (CIT). As of June 30, 2018and December 31, 2017, all goodwill was held by the Customer Management - Agent Services reporting unit.

The annual impairment test performed as of October 1, 2017 indicated that the fair value of the Customer Management - Agent Services reporting unit was substantially in excess of its carrying value. However, impairment charges could be required if a divestiture decision is made or other significant economic events occur with respect to the reporting unit. Subsequent to our October 1, 2017 annual impairment test, no indications of an impairment were identified.

Other Intangible Assets

The Company's other intangible assets, primarily acquired through business combinations, are evaluated periodically if events or circumstances indicate a possible inability to recover their carrying amounts. No impairment charges were recognized in any period presented. As of June 30, 2018and December 31, 2017, the Company's other intangible assets consisted of the following:

June 30, 2018	Gross Carrying Amount			Accumulated Amortization			Net
Customer relationships and other intangibles		$482.0			($209.8	)		$272.2
Trademarks	26.8			(26.8		)	-
Software (classified within Property and equipment, net)	41.3			(41.3		)	-
Total		$550.1			($277.9	)		$272.2
December 31, 2017
Customer relationships and other intangibles		$484.6			($198.0	)		$286.6
Trademarks	27.0			(26.3		)	0.7
Software (classified within Property and equipment, net)	41.3			(41.3		)	-
Total		$552.9			($265.6	)		$287.3

The customer relationship and other intangible assets are being amortized for 1to 17years. The remaining weighted average amortization period for customer relationships and other intangibles is approximately 12.0years. Amortization of software is included within depreciation expense as the underlying assets are classified within property and equipment.

Amortization expense for intangibles was $13.1for the six months ended June 30, 2018and is estimated to be approximately $25.4for the year ended December 31, 2018. The related estimated expense for the five subsequent fiscal years is as follows:

For the year ended 2019		$24.6
For the year ended 2020	23.9
For the year ended 2021	22.2
For the year ended 2022	21.9
For the year ended 2023	21.9
Thereafter	145.4

Merger Agreement with SYNNEX

The Merger Agreement limits our ability to incur additional indebtedness or to modify the terms of our outstanding debt obligations. The Merger Agreement generally provides that prior to the closing of the Mergers or termination of the Merger Agreement, we cannot, without SYNNEX's consent, incur, assume, endorse, guarantee or otherwise become liable for, or modify in any material respect the terms of any indebtedness for borrowed money or issue or sell any debt securities or any rights to acquire any debt securities, subject to certain exceptions (including borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility and our asset securitization facility).

Credit Facility

On January 11, 2017(the Effective Date), the Company entered into a new credit agreement (Credit Agreement) and repaid all amounts outstanding and terminated all commitments under its previously existing credit agreement (Prior Credit Agreement) using initial borrowings under the Credit Agreement as well as borrowings under the Company's asset securitization facility. The Credit Agreement consists of a $215.0unsecured term loan facility (Term Loan), maturing on March 3, 2019, and a $300.0unsecured revolving credit facility (Revolving Credit Facility), maturing on January 11, 2022. On the Effective Date, the Company drew $100.0in initial borrowings under the Term Loan. A $1.0extinguishment loss was recognized on the Effective Date and is included in Interest expense on the Consolidated Statements of Income for the six months ended June 30, 2017.

The Revolving Credit Facility may be extended for two additional one-year periods, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement. In addition, aggregate borrowing capacity under the Credit Agreement may be increased by up to an additional $250.0million by increasing the amount of the Revolving Credit Facility or by incurring additional term loans, in each case subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement, including the receipt of additional commitments for such increase. Borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement may be repaid from time to time without premium or penalty, other than customary breakage costs, if any. Borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to, at the Company's option, either (a) the applicable adjusted LIBOR plus a spread based on the Company's total net leverage ratio, or (b) a base rate (equal to the higher of the Administrative Agent's prime rate, the federal fund rate plus 0.50%, and the one-month adjusted LIBOR plus 1.0%) plus a spread based on the Company's total net leverage ratio. The Company is also obligated to pay a commitment fee on a quarterly basis on the unused portion of the commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility based on the Company's total net leverage ratio, which fee is currently 25 basis points. While amounts borrowed and repaid under the Revolving Credit Facility can be re-borrowed, amounts repaid under the Term Loan cannot be borrowed again under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement contains certain affirmative and negative covenants, as well as terms and conditions that are customary for credit facilities of this type, including financial covenants for leverage and interest coverage ratios. The Company was in compliance with all covenants at June 30, 2018. Total borrowing capacity remaining under the Revolving Credit Facility was $300.0, with the borrowings under the Term Loan fully repaid as of June 30, 2018.

Convertible Debentures

During 2009, Convergys issued $125.0aggregate principal amount of 5.75%Junior Subordinated Convertible Debentures due September 2029 (2029 Convertible Debentures) in exchange for $122.5of 4.875%Unsecured Senior Notes due December 15, 2009, pursuant to an exchange offer. At the date of issuance, the Company recognized the liability component of the 2029 Convertible Debenture at its fair value of $56.3. The liability component was recognized as the fair value of a similar instrument that did not have a conversion feature at issuance. The equity component, which is the value of the conversion feature at issuance, was recognized as the difference between the proceeds from the issuance of the debentures and the fair value of the liability component, after adjusting for the deferred tax impact of $32.7. The 2029 Convertible Debentures were issued at a coupon rate of 5.75%, which was below that of a similar instrument that did not have a conversion feature. Therefore, the valuation of the debt component, using the income approach, resulted in a debt discount. The debt discount is being amortized over the life of a similar debt instrument without a conversion feature, which the Company determined to equal the contractual maturity of the 2029 Convertible Debentures.

Amortization is based upon the effective interest rate method and is included in interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

The 2029 Convertible Debentures, which pay a fixed rate of interest semi-annually, have a contingent interest component that will require the Company to pay additional interest if the trading price of the 2029 Convertible Debentures exceeds a specified threshold at specified times, commencing on September 15, 2019, as outlined in the Indenture. The maximum amount of contingent interest that will accrue is 0.75%per annum of the average trading price of the 2029 Convertible Debentures during the periods specified in the Indenture. The fair value of this embedded derivative was not significant at June 30, 2018 or December 31, 2017.

The Company is not entitled to redeem the 2029 Convertible Debentures prior to September 15, 2019. On or after September 15, 2019, the Company may redeem for cash all or part of the 2029 Convertible Debentures at par value plus accrued but unpaid interest if certain trading conditions of the Company's common shares are satisfied. The holders of the 2029 Convertible Debentures have the option to require redemption at par value plus accrued but unpaid interest upon the occurrence of a fundamental change, a defined term in the Indenture.

The 2029 Convertible Debentures are convertible at the option of the holders on or after September 15, 2028 and prior to that date only under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter if the last reported sales price of the Company's common shares for at least 20trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130%of the applicable conversion price (currently $14.39) for the 2029 Convertible Debentures on each applicable trading day (hereinafter referred to as the Sales Price Condition); (2) during the five business day period immediately following any five consecutive trading day period (the Measurement Period) in which, as determined following a request by a holder of 2029 Convertible Debentures as provided in the Indenture, the trading price per $1,000principal amount of 2029 Convertible Debentures for each trading day of such Measurement Period was less than 98%of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company's common shares and the applicable conversion rate for the 2029 Convertible Debentures on each such trading day; (3) if the Company elects to redeem any or all of the 2029 Convertible Debentures; or (4) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events pursuant to the terms of the Indenture. Upon conversion, the Company will pay cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Convertible Debentures to be converted and pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, common shares of the Company or a combination of cash and common shares of the Company, at the Company's election, in respect of the remainder, if any, of the Company's conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Convertible Debentures being converted.

The 2029 Convertible Debentures were convertible, subject to certain conditions, into common shares of the Company at an initial implied conversion price of approximately $12.07per share, or eighty-two and eighty-two hundredthsshares per one thousanddollars in principal amount of debentures. As of June 30, 2018, the implied conversion price for the 2029 Convertible Debentures was approximately $11.07per share, or ninety and thirty-seven hundredthsshares per one thousanddollars in principal amount of debentures. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment for certain events outlined in the Indenture, including payment of dividends.

As of June 30, 2018and December 31, 2017, the 2029 Convertible Debentures were convertible at the option of the holders. This conversion right was triggered upon satisfaction of the Sales Price Condition (the closing price of the Company's common shares was greater than or equal to $14.39, 130%of the conversion price of the 2029 Convertible Debentures at June 30, 2018, for at least 20of the 30consecutive trading days ending on June 30, 2018). As a result, the equity component of the 2029 Convertible Debentures equal to $58.4(the difference between the par value and carrying value of the 2029 Convertible Debentures at June 30, 2018) has been classified as temporary equity within the June 30, 2018Consolidated Balance Sheet since this amount was considered redeemable. The Company will reassess the convertibility of the 2029 Convertible Debentures and the related balance sheet classification on a prospective basis. There have been no conversions of the 2029 Convertible Debentures through the date of this filing. Based on quoted market prices at June 30, 2018, the fair value of the $125.0aggregate principal amount of the Company's 2029 Convertible Debentures is $282.8.

The Mergers will constitute a Fundamental Change and a Make-Whole Fundamental Change under the terms of the Indenture. As a result, following the closing of the Mergers, holders of the 2029 Convertible Debentures will be permitted to (i) convert their 2029 Convertible Debentures at a temporarily increased conversion rate, (ii) tender their 2029 Convertible Debentures for repurchase at a price equal to the principal amount plus accrued but unpaid interest, or (iii) continue holding their 2029 Convertible Debentures. Upon conversion following the closing of the Mergers, the 2029 Convertible Debentures would be convertible into either cash or a combination of cash and shares of SYNNEX common stock, at the election of the issuer, which would then be a subsidiary of SYNNEX.

Asset Securitization Facility

During January 2017, the Company amended the terms of its asset securitization facility collateralized by accounts receivable of certain of the Company's subsidiaries. The amendment resulted in an increased purchase limit of $225.0, with $90.0and $135.0expiring in January 2018 and January 2020, respectively. The asset securitization facility was further amended in January 2018 to extend the expiration date for the $90.0purchase limit to January 2019. The asset securitization program is conducted through Convergys Funding Inc., a wholly-owned bankruptcy remote subsidiary of the Company. As of June 30, 2018and December 31, 2017, Convergys had drawn $54.0and $103.0, respectively, in available funding from qualified receivables. Amounts drawn under this facility have been classified as long-term debt within the Consolidated Balance Sheets, based on the Company's ability and intent to refinance on a long-term basis as of June 30, 2018.

At June 30, 2018, future minimum payments of the Company's debt and capital lease arrangements (exclusive of any debt discounts) are as follows:

2018	$	0.3
2019	21.8
2020	32.5
2021	-
2022	-
Thereafter	125.0
Total	$	179.6

8. RESTRUCTURING

2018 Restructuring

Company-wide restructuring program

During 2018, the Company initiated a restructuring plan to reduce headcount and consolidate certain contact centers to streamline the Company's operations. For the three months ended June 30, 2018, $7.4of restructuring expense was recorded for facility-related charges. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, $18.1of restructuring expense was recorded, which was comprised of $5.0of severance expense associated with headcount reductions and $13.1of facility-related charges. This expense is included in Restructuring charges on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

The headcount reductions impacted approximately 350employees and the related severance is expected to be substantially paid in cash by September 30, 2018. The remaining severance liability resulting from these restructuring actions, which is included in Payables and other current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, was $2.5as of June 30, 2018and $3.8as of March 31, 2018.

The facility-related charges during 2018 are associated with nine site closures and primarily represent the present value of contractually obligated future minimum lease payments and the full impairment of certain abandoned property and equipment. The fair value of these facility obligations was determined using the income approach through a discounted cash flow analysis, based on estimated future contractual costs associated with the impacted facilities, net of proceeds from any probable future sublease agreements. The Company utilized market data to determine the estimated proceeds from any future sublease agreements. The Company will continue to evaluate the estimates used in recording the facilities abandonment charge over the remaining lease period. Consequently, there may be additional reversals or charges relating to these facility closures in the future. The remaining liability related to these facility restructuring actions, which is included in Payables and other current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, was $6.4as of June 30, 2018and $1.8as of March 31, 2018.

CEO transition costs

On January 25, 2018, the Company announced that Andrea Ayers will transition from her role as President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Convergys.

This expense is included in Restructuring charges on the Consolidated Statements of Income. The compensation payments related to this expense are subject to the terms and conditions of the Separation and Consulting Agreement and the timing of such payments will, in some cases, depend on the timing of the closing of the Mergers or Ms. Ayers' separation from the Company.

These grants provide for payout based upon the extent to which the Company achieves certain EPS targets, as determined by the Compensation and Benefits Committee of the Board of Directors, over three-year periods. Payout levels for earned shares range from 50%to 200%of award shares. No payout is earned if performance is below the minimum threshold performance level. At June 30, 2018, the targets for the third year of the 2017 grants and the second and third years of the 2018 grants had not yet been set, the key terms had not been effectively communicated to the recipients, and as such the expense related to these grants had not yet been recognized. These grants have been excluded from the table below.

During the first quarter of 2018, the Company established and communicated to participants the final key terms of the 2016grants, resulting in grants for accounting purposes with a grant date fair value of $23.58per share. The total compensation cost related to the 2016non-vested performance-based restricted stock units not yet recognized as of June 30, 2018was approximately $3.2, which is expected to be recognized ratably over the remaining vesting period ending in February 2019.

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Commitments

At June 30, 2018, the Company had outstanding letters of credit and bond obligations of $21.9related to performance guarantees. The Company believes that any guarantee obligation that may arise will not be material. The Company also has future purchase commitments with telecommunication and transportation providers of $5.3for the remainder of 2018.

Contingencies

The Company, from time to time, is subject to various loss contingencies, including tax and legal contingencies that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues for a loss contingency when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of such loss can be reasonably estimated. At this time, the Company believes that any such contingencies, either individually or in the aggregate, will not have a materially adverse effect on the Company's results of operations or financial condition. However, the outcome of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and unfavorable resolution of one or more pending matters could have a materially adverse impact on the Company's results of operations or financial condition in the future.

12. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Derivative Instruments

The Company is exposed to a variety of market risks, including the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The Company's risk management strategy includes the use of derivative instruments to reduce the effects on its operating results and cash flows from fluctuations caused by volatility in currency exchange rates.

The Company serves many of its U.S.-based clients using contact center capacity outside of the U.S. Although the contracts with these clients are typically priced in U.S. dollars, a substantial portion of the costs incurred to deliver services under these contracts are denominated in the local currency of the country where services are provided, which represents a foreign exchange exposure. The Company has hedged a portion of its exposure related to the anticipated cash flow requirements denominated in certain foreign currencies by entering into hedging contracts with several financial institutions to acquire a total of PHP 31,875.0at a fixed price of $614.2at various dates through March 2021, INR 10,065.0at a fixed price of $139.8at various dates through March 2021, CAD 48.0at a fixed price of $36.6at various dates through June 2020and COP 45,600.0at a fixed price of $14.9at various dates through March 2020, and to sell a total of AUD 22.2at a fixed price of $17.3at various dates through September 2019. These instruments mature within the next 33months and had a notional value of $792.7at June 30, 2018and $835.5at December 31, 2017. The derivative instruments discussed above are designated and are effective as cash flow hedges. The following table reflects the fair values of these derivative instruments:

	June 30, 2018			December 31, 2017
Forward exchange contracts and options designated as hedging instruments:
Included within other current assets		$5.2			$14.5
Included within other non-current assets	0.5			8.7
Included within other current liabilities	22.5			7.7
Included within other long-term liabilities	11.5			1.7

The Company recorded a deferred tax benefit of $7.1and deferred tax expense of $3.6related to these derivatives at June 30, 2018and December 31, 2017, respectively. A total of $21.2of deferred losses, net of tax, related to these cash flow hedges were included in accumulated other comprehensive loss (OCL) at June 30, 2018, compared to $10.4of deferred gains, net of tax, that were included in accumulated other comprehensive income (OCI) at December 31, 2017. As of June 30, 2018, deferred losses of $17.3($13.0net of tax) on derivative instruments included in accumulated OCL are expected to be reclassified into earnings during the next 12months. The following tables provide the effect of these derivative instruments on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018and 2017, respectively:

Derivatives in Cash Flow Hedging Relationships	Gain (Loss) Recognized in OCL on Derivative (Effective Portion)			Gain (Loss) Reclassified from Accumulated OCL into Income (Effective Portion)			Location of Gain (Loss) Reclassified from Accumulated OCL into Income (Effective Portion)
Three Months Ended June 30, 2018
Foreign exchange contracts		($18.3	)		($2.9	)	Cost of providing services and products sold and Selling, general and administrative
Six Months Ended June 30, 2018
Foreign exchange contracts		($47.2	)		($5.1	)	Cost of providing services and products sold and Selling, general and administrative
Three Months Ended June 30, 2017
Foreign exchange contracts		$3.0			($5.1	)	Cost of providing services and products sold and Selling, general and administrative
Six Months Ended June 30, 2017
Foreign exchange contracts		$12.8			($12.8	)	Cost of providing services and products sold and Selling, general and administrative

The gain or loss recognized related to the ineffective portion of the derivative instruments was immaterial for the three months ended June 30, 2018and 2017.

The Company also enters into derivative instruments (forwards) to economically hedge the foreign currency impact of assets and liabilities denominated in nonfunctional currencies. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, a gain of $7.4was recognized related to changes in fair value of these derivative instruments not designated as hedges, compared to a loss of $12.0in the same periods in 2017. The gains and losses largely offset the currency gains and losses that resulted from changes in the assets and liabilities denominated in nonfunctional currencies. These gains and losses are classified within other income, net in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income. The fair value of these derivative instruments not designated as hedges at June 30, 2018was an $8.0receivable.

Short-term Investments

As of June 30, 2018and December 31, 2017, the Company held investment securities with a fair value of $12.4and $13.5, respectively, that are held in a grantor trust for the benefit of participants in the EDCP and reflect the hypothetical investment balances of EDCP participants. The securities are classified as trading securities and included within short-term investments in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The investment securities include exchange-traded mutual funds and money market accounts. These securities are carried at fair value, with gains and losses, both realized and unrealized, reported in other (expense) income, net in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The cost of securities sold is based upon the specific identification method. Interest and dividends on securities classified as trading are included in other (expense) income, net.

13. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

U.S. GAAP defines a hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs in measuring fair value. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows: Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument; and Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on the Company's assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. A financial asset or liability's classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

At June 30, 2018and December 31, 2017, the Company had foreign currency forward contracts measured at fair value. The fair values of these instruments were measured using valuations based upon quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets (Level 2) and are valued by reference to similar financial instruments, adjusted for terms specific to the contracts. There were no transfers between the three levels of the fair value hierarchy during the years ended June 30, 2018and June 30, 2017. The derivative assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2018and December 31, 2017were as follows:

	June 30, 2018				Quoted Prices In Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)				Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)				Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Derivatives:
Foreign currency forward contracts (asset position)		$14.1				$-				$14.1				$-
Foreign currency forward contracts (liability position)		$34.3				$-				$34.3				$-

	December 31, 2017				Quoted Prices In Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)				Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)				Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Derivatives:
Foreign currency forward contracts (asset position)		$24.2				$-				$24.2				$-
Foreign currency forward contracts (liability position)		$19.2				$-				$19.2				$-

The Company also had investment securities held in a grantor trust for the benefit of participants of the EDCP measured at fair value at June 30, 2018and December 31, 2017. These investments are recorded as short-term investments on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of these instruments was measured using the quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1). There were no transfers between the three levels of the fair value hierarchy during the years ended June 30, 2018and June 30, 2017. The assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2018and December 31, 2017were as follows:

	June 30, 2018				Quoted Prices In Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)				Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)				Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Investment securities:
Mutual funds		$11.7				$11.7				$-				$-
Money market accounts	0.7				0.7				-				-
Total		$12.4				$12.4				$-				$-

	December 31, 2017				Quoted Prices In Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)				Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)				Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Investment securities:

Money market accounts	1.1				1.1				-				-
Total		$13.5				$13.5				$-				$-

14. INCOME TAXES

The effective tax rate on net income from continuing operations was 36.8%and 15.0%for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018compared to 13.7%and 14.5%in the same period last year. The effective tax rates for all periods were impacted by the geographic mix of worldwide income and certain discrete items. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2018was favorably impacted by a net benefit of $8.6resulting from the resolution of certain tax audits. The effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 were negatively impacted by certain transaction costs related to the SYNNEX merger. The effective tax rates for both periods in 2018 were also impacted by the accrual of withholding taxes on the repatriation of current period earnings. In the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company recorded an estimated net discrete tax charge of $34.1related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the 2017 Tax Act) that was accounted for as a provisional charge in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recorded an adjustment of $0.9and $2.3, respectively, to recognize the imposition of the new minimum tax on global intangible income, which the Company accounts for as a period cost. The Company continues to analyze the impacts of the 2017 Tax Act and all amounts recorded continue to be provisional.

As of June 30, 2018and December 31, 2017, the liability for unrecognized tax benefits was $9.5and $21.3, respectively, and is included in other long-term liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of June 30, 2018, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that would affect income tax expense if recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements is $8.5. This amount includes net interest and penalties of $3.7. It is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will decrease between approximately $0.2and $4.0in the next twelve months; however, actual developments in this area could differ from those currently expected.

Consolidated revenues for the secondquarter of 2018were $649.4, a 5%decrease from $686.8in the same period in the prior year. Changes in currency exchange rates increased revenues by approximately 1.8% in the current quarter as the U.S. dollar weakened relative to the euro and British pound. Revenues from communications clients decreased 14%from the secondquarter of 2017, reflecting a shift to lower-cost geographies and volume decreases with several of our largest clients. These decreases were partially offset by favorable currency exchange rate impacts, revenues from a new client and increased volume with other certain clients, particularly in Europe. Revenues from technology clients decreased 3%from the secondquarter of 2017, reflecting volume decreases with certain existing clients, partially offset by favorable currency exchange rate impacts and volume increases with certain existing clients. Revenues from retail clients increased 20%from the secondquarter of 2017, reflecting volume increases with several existing clients and revenues from new clients. Revenues from financial services clients decreased 1%from the secondquarter of 2017, reflecting volume decreases with certain clients, partially offset by revenues from a new client and volume increases with an existing client. Revenues from healthcare clients increased 4%from the secondquarter of 2017, reflecting volume increases with several existing clients, partially offset by volume reductions with a certain client. Revenues from all other clients decreased 3%from the secondquarter of 2017, primarily as a result of the loss of an automotive client.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2018 versus Six Months Ended June 30, 2017

Consolidated revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2018were $1,323.6, a 6%decrease from $1,414.4in the same period in the prior year. Changes in currency exchange rates resulted in increased revenues of approximately 2.2% in the current year as the U.S. dollar weakened relative to the euro and British pound. Revenues from communications clients decreased 14%from the first half of 2017, reflecting a shift of volumes to lower-cost geographies, volume reductions and program completions with certain existing clients. These decreases were partially offset by favorable currency exchange rate impacts and increased volume with other certain clients, particularly in Europe. Revenues from technology clients decreased 4%from the first half of 2017 due to volume decreases with certain existing clients, partially offset by favorable currency exchange rate impacts and volume increases with other existing clients. Revenues from retail clients increased 18%from the first half of 2017, reflecting volume increases with several existing clients and revenues from new clients. Revenues from financial services clients decreased 3%from the first half of 2017, reflecting volume decreases with certain clients, partially offset by revenues from a new client. Revenues from healthcare clients increased 2%from the first half of 2017 reflecting volume increases with several existing clients, partially offset by volume decreases with an existing client.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2018 versus Three Months Ended June 30, 2017

Total operating costs and expenses for the secondquarter of 2018of $625.3decreased 2%from $638.0in the same period in the prior year. Changes in currency exchange rates increased operating costs and expenses by approximately 1% in the current quarter. As a percentage of revenues, the cost of providing services and products sold was 62.8% in the secondquarter of 2018, compared to 62.1% in the prior year quarter. This increase was largely due to the timing of certain program implementations. Selling, general and administrative expenses of $169.3in the secondquarter of 2018decreased by 3%compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to savings realized from the Company's restructuring initiatives over the past year, partially offset by unfavorable currency exchange impacts. As a percentage of revenues, selling, general, and administrative cost was 26.1% in the secondquarter of 2018compared to 25.3% in the prior year period. Depreciation expense of $22.0decreased $5.1from the prior year quarter, while amortization expense of $6.1decreased $1.2. The decrease in depreciation expense resulted from the timing of certain assets becoming fully depreciated, as well as lower depreciation from the fair value write-up of property and equipment acquired through business combinations. Restructuring expense of $9.9during the secondquarter of 2018 related to company-wide initiatives to consolidate certain contact centers to streamline the Company's operations, as well as CEO transition costs. The Company incurred $10.2of transaction costs related to the pending transaction with SYNNEX. These costs primarily relate to fees paid for third-party consulting legal and financial services.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2018 versus Six Months Ended June 30, 2017

Total operating costs and expenses for the first half of 2018of $1,265.1decreased 4%from $1,316.8in the first half of 2017. Changes in currency exchange rates increased operating costs and expenses by approximately 1% for the six months ended June 30, 2018. As a percentage of revenues, the cost of providing services and products sold was 62.4% for the first six months of 2018, compared to 62.0% in the prior year period. This increase was largely due to the timing of certain program implementations. Selling, general and administrative expenses of $341.7in the first half of 2018decreased by 3%compared to the prior year period primarily due to savings realized from our 2018 company-wide restructuring program. As a percentage of revenue, selling, general and administrative expense was 25.8% for the first six months of 2018 compared to 24.9% in the prior year period. Depreciation expense of $45.8decreased $8.7from the prior year period, while amortization expense of $13.1decreased $1.4. The decrease in depreciation expense resulted from the timing of certain assets becoming fully depreciated, as well as lower depreciation from the fair value write-up of property and equipment acquired through business combinations. The Company recorded restructuring expense of $28.8 during the first six months of 2018, primarily related to Company-wide initiatives to consolidate certain contact centers and reduce headcount to streamline the Company's operations, as well as CEO transition costs. Restructuring expense in the prior year period primarily resulted from a $12.8 charge associated with a Company-wide initiative to reduce headcount and better align the Company's resources, principally for corporate functions. During the first six months of 2018, the Company recorded $10.2 of transaction costs related to the pending transaction with SYNNEX. These costs primarily relate to fees paid for third-party consulting legal and financial services.

Operating Income and Adjusted Operating Income (a non-GAAP measure)

In order to assess the underlying operational performance of the continuing operations of the business and to have a basis to compare underlying results to prior and future periods, we provide the non-GAAP measures, Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Operating Margin (Adjusted Operating Income divided by Total Revenues), in the table below. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018and 2017, Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Operating Margin exclude the following operating charges:

1.	Transaction costs of $10.2 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, related to the pending transaction with SYNNEX;

2.

Restructuring charges of $7.4 and $18.1 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, related to company-wide initiatives to consolidate certain contact centers and reduce headcount to streamline the Company's operations; restructuring charges of $12.8 for the six months ended June 30, 2017, associated with a company-wide initiative to reduce headcount and better align the Company's resources, principally for corporate functions;

3.	CEO transition costs of $1.7 and $9.0 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018;

4.	Amortization of acquired intangible assets of $6.1and $13.1for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, and $7.3and $14.5, respectively, for the prior year periods;

5.	Depreciation of $0.4 and $1.0 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, and $0.9 and $1.9, respectively, for the prior year periods, resulting from the fair value write-up of property and equipment acquired through business combinations;

6.	Acquisition integration expenses of $1.1 and $2.6 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, primarily related to fees for third-party consulting services and severance expense.

Adjustments for these items are relevant in evaluating the overall performance of the business. Limitations associated with the use of these non-GAAP measures include that these measures do not present all of the amounts associated with our results as determined in accordance with GAAP. Management compensates for this limitation by using both the non-GAAP measures and the GAAP measures in its evaluation of performance. These non-GAAP measures should be considered supplemental in nature and should not be construed as being more important than comparable GAAP measures.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2018 versus Three Months Ended June 30, 2017

The effective tax rate on net income from continuing operations was 36.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2018compared to 13.7% in the same period last year. The effective tax rate for the secondquarter of 2018 was impacted by certain transaction costs related to the SYNNEX merger, as well as the geographic mix of worldwide income and the accrual of withholding taxes on the repatriation of current period earnings and the new minimum tax on global intangible income. The effective tax rate for the secondquarter of 2017 was primarily impacted by the geographic mix of worldwide income and certain discrete items.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2018 versus Six Months Ended June 30, 2017

The effective tax rate on net income from continuing operations was 15.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2018compared to 14.5% in the same period last year. The effective tax rate for the first half of 2018 was primarily impacted by a net benefit of $8.6 resulting from the resolution of certain tax audits and certain transaction costs related to the SYNNEX merger. The effective tax rate for the first half of 2018 was also impacted by the geographic mix of worldwide income and the accrual of withholding taxes on the repatriation of current period earnings and the new minimum tax on global intangible income. The effective tax rate for the first half of 2017 was primarily impacted by the geographic mix of worldwide income and certain discrete items.

Net Income from Continuing Operations; Earnings per Diluted Share from Continuing Operations; Adjusted Net Income from Continuing Operations (a non-GAAP measure); Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share from Continuing Operations (a non-GAAP measure)

In order to assess the underlying operational performance of the continuing operations of the business, we provide non-GAAP measures in the tables below that exclude, in addition to the operating charges discussed above, the net tax benefit of $8.6 for the six months ended June 30, 2018, resulting from the favorable resolution of certain tax audits.

We use income from continuing operations, net of tax and earnings per share data excluding the operating charges and discrete tax items discussed above to assess the underlying operational performance of the continuing operations of the business and to have a basis to compare underlying results to prior and future periods. Adjustments for these items are relevant in evaluating the overall performance of the business. Limitations associated with the use of these non-GAAP measures include that these measures do not present all of the amounts associated with our results as determined in accordance with GAAP. Management compensates for these limitations by using the non-GAAP measures, income from continuing operations, net of tax and diluted earnings per share excluding these items, and the GAAP measures, income from continuing operations, net of tax and diluted earnings per share, in its evaluation of performance. These non-GAAP measures should be considered supplemental in nature and should not be construed as being more important than comparable GAAP measures.

Excluding the operating charges discussed above and the income tax impact from these charges, adjusted net income for the first half of 2018 was $76.1, or $0.77per diluted share, compared to $98.2, or $0.98per diluted share for the same period in 2017.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP measures)

Management uses EBITDA, EBITDA margin (EBITDA divided by Total Revenues), Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin (Adjusted EBITDA divided by Total Revenues) and the GAAP measure, income from continuing operations, net of tax, to monitor and evaluate the underlying performance of the business and believes the presentation of these measures enhances investors' ability to analyze trends in the business and evaluate our underlying performance relative to other companies in the industry. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for income from continuing operations, net of tax, or other income statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP, and our presentation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies. These non-GAAP measures should be considered supplemental in nature and should not be construed as being more important than comparable GAAP measures.

RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

As discussed in Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, we recorded the following restructuring charges:

2018 Restructuring

Company-wide restructuring program

During 2018, the Company initiated a restructuring plan to reduce headcount and consolidate certain contact centers to streamline the Company's operations. For the three months ended June 30, 2018, $7.4 of restructuring expense was recorded for facility-related charges. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, $18.1of restructuring expense was recorded, which was comprised of $5.0of severance expense associated with headcount reductions and $13.1of facility-related charges. This expense is included in Restructuring charges on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

The headcount reductions impacted approximately 350employees and the related severance is expected to be substantially paid in cash by September 30, 2018. The remaining severance liability resulting from these restructuring actions, which is included in Payables and other current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, was $2.5as of June 30, 2018and $3.8as of March 31, 2018.

The facility-related charges during 2018 are associated with nine site closures and primarily represent the present value of contractually obligated future minimum lease payments and the full impairment of certain abandoned property and equipment. The fair value of these facility obligations was determined using the income approach through a discounted cash flow analysis, based on estimated future contractual costs associated with the impacted facilities, net of proceeds from any probable future sublease agreements. The Company utilized market data to determine the estimated proceeds from any future sublease agreements. The Company will continue to evaluate the estimates used in recording the facilities abandonment charge over the remaining lease period. Consequently, there may be additional reversals or charges relating to these facility closures in the future. The remaining liability related to these facility restructuring actions, which is included in Payables and other current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, was $6.4as of June 30, 2018and $1.8 as of March 31, 2018.

CEO transition costs

On January 25, 2018, the Company announced that Andrea Ayers will transition from her role as President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Convergys. The Company and Ms. Ayers subsequently executed a Separation and Consulting Agreement, effective February 20, 2018. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recorded CEO transition costs of $1.7 and $9.0, respectively, associated with certain components of cash and equity-based compensation payable to Ms. Ayers in connection with her separation from the Company, as well as consulting fees associated with the Company's search process prior to entering into the Merger Agreement to identify a successor CEO. This expense is included in Restructuring charges on the Consolidated Statements of Income. The compensation payments related to this expense are subject to the terms and conditions of the Separation and Consulting Agreement and the timing of such payments will, in some cases, depend on the timing of the closing of the Mergers or Ms. Ayers' separation from the Company.

Other severance

The Company recorded other severance expense of $0.8and $1.7, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, primarily related to headcount reductions resulting from certain client program completions. These actions impacted approximately 650employees. This severance expense is included in Restructuring charges on the Consolidated Statements of Income and was fully paid in cash by June 30, 2018.

2017 Restructuring

Company-wide restructuring program

During the first quarter of 2017, the Company recorded restructuring expenses of $12.8related to a company-wide initiative to reduce headcount and better align the Company's resources, principally for corporate functions. The 2017 restructuring actions impacted approximately 315employees. This expense is included in Restructuring charges on the Consolidated Statements of Income and is expected to be substantially paid in cash by December 31, 2018. The total remaining liability under these restructuring actions, which is included in Payables and other current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, was $2.3as of June 30, 2018, $3.3 as of March 31, 2018 and $5.8as of December 31, 2017.

Other severance

During 2017, the Company recorded other severance expense of $2.2primarily related to headcount reductions resulting from certain client program completions. These actions impacted approximately 150employees. This severance expense is included in Restructuring charges on the Consolidated Statements of Income and was fully paid in cash during 2017.

buw integration

During 2017, the Company recorded severance charges of $0.9related to the elimination of certain redundant positions as a result of the integration of the buw business. This severance expense was included in Transaction and integration costs on the Consolidated Statements of Income and was fully paid in cash by March 31, 2018.

Savings from Restructuring Plans

The 2018 company-wide restructuring programs are expected to result in cost reductions and cash savings of approximately $14.0 on an annualized basis. Savings associated with the 2017 restructuring programs were estimated to be cost reductions of approximately $21.0 and cash savings of approximately $19.0 on an annualized basis. The impact of the cost reductions for all of these programs will be spread across our operating expenses, primarily in selling, general and administrative expense on the Consolidated Statements of Income. The impact on liquidity was not material for any of our restructuring plans.

CLIENT CONCENTRATION

During the first six months of 2018, our three largest clients accounted for 26.0% of our consolidated revenues, compared to 30.9% in the same period of 2017. Our largest client, AT&T, accounted for 13.6% of our consolidated revenues in the first half of 2018and 17.8% of revenue in the same period in the prior year. No other client accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated revenues for the first half of 2018and 2017. Revenues with our three largest clients are earned under multiple contracts and are subject to variation based on, among other things, general economic conditions, client outsourcing trends, geographical mix of where services are provided and seasonal patterns in our clients' businesses.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Merger Agreement with SYNNEX

The Merger Agreement limits our ability to incur additional indebtedness or to modify the terms of our outstanding debt obligations. The Merger Agreement generally provides that prior to the closing of the Mergers or termination of the Merger Agreement, we cannot, without SYNNEX's consent, incur, assume, endorse, guarantee or otherwise become liable for, or modify in any material respect the terms of any indebtedness for borrowed money or issue or sell any debt securities or any rights to acquire any debt securities, subject to certain exceptions (including borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility and our asset securitization facility).

Liquidity and Cash Flows

We believe that we have adequate liquidity from cash on hand and expected future cash flows to fund operations, invest in the business, make required debt payments, pay dividends at the discretion of the Board of Directors, and pay the one-time transition tax imposed by the 2017 Tax Act. We also believe that available borrowings under existing credit facilities provide additional liquidity that can be used to invest in the business.

Cash flows from operating activities generally provide us with a significant source of funding for our investing and financing activities. Cash flows from operating activities totaled $71.3in the first six months of 2018, compared to $122.4in the same period last year. The first six months of 2018 included $14.4 in payments related to non-U.S. taxes for the repatriation of certain non-U.S. cash balances as of December 31, 2017, and $0.1 of payments for transaction related expenses. The first six months of 2017 reflected $1.1 of payments for integration related expenses. Excluding these items, cash flows provided by operating activities totaled $85.8 and $125.2 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The decrease in cash flows was primarily a result of a $18.1 increase in U.S. federal taxes paid during the first six months of 2018 compared to the first six months of 2017.

Cash flows used in investing activities were $17.6during the first six months of 2018, resulting from capital expenditures during the period. Cash flows used in investing activities were $27.2during the first half of 2017, resulting from $27.9 of capital expenditures during that period partially offset by $0.7 of net proceeds from the sale of a joint venture interest previously acquired in the buw acquisition.

Cash flows used in financing activities were $195.9during the first half of 2018, compared to $71.3of cash provided in the same period in 2017. Activity in the current year included net repayment of long-term debt of $101.4 and net payment of amounts drawn under the asset securitization facility of $49.0. Additionally, we settled in cash the repurchase of 1.2 of the Company's common shares for $27.1. We also paid $18.4 in cash dividends. During the first half of 2017, we repaid long-term debt of $116.0 and net proceeds of amounts drawn under the asset securitization facility totaled $105.0. Additionally, we settled in cash the repurchase of 1.9 of the Company's common shares for $43.7. We also paid $17.0 in cash dividends and received proceeds of $0.4 from the exercise of stock options.

Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow (non-GAAP measures)

We use free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow, which are non-GAAP measures, to assess the financial performance of the Company. We define free cash flow as cash flows from operating activities less capital expenditures, and adjusted free cash flow as free cash flow less expenditures associated with investment activity to expand or improve our business. A reconciliation of the GAAP measure, net cash provided by operating activities, to the non-GAAP measures, free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow, is as follows:

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2018			2017			2018			2017
Net cash flow provided by operating activities under U.S. GAAP		$58.7			$89.5			$71.3			$122.4
Capital expenditures, net of proceeds from disposal of assets	(11.8		)	(19.0		)	(17.6		)	(27.9		)
Free cash flow (a non-GAAP measure)		$46.9			$70.5			$53.7			$94.5
Non-U.S. tax paid related to repatriation of non-U.S. cash as of December 31, 2017(A)	4.7			-			14.4			-

Adjusted free cash flow (a non-GAAP measure)		$51.7			$71.6			$68.2			$97.3

(A)	Cash payments associated with non-U.S. withholding taxes resulting from the Company's repatriation of certain non-U.S. cash balances accumulated as of December 31, 2017.

(B)	Payments associated with investment activity for acquisition related items.

Adjusted free cash flow was $51.7and $68.2for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to $71.6and $97.3for the same period in 2017. The decrease of $29.1 from the six month period in the prior year is primarily a result of a $18.1 increase in U.S. federal taxes paid during the first six months of 2018 compared to the first six months of 2017.

We believe that free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow are useful to investors because they present the operating cash flow of the Company, excluding the capital that is spent to continue and improve business operations, such as investment in the Company's existing business. Further, free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow provide an indication of the ongoing cash that is available for debt repayment, returning capital to shareholders and other opportunities. We also believe the presentation of these measures enhances investors' ability to analyze trends in the business and evaluate the Company's underlying performance relative to other companies in the industry. Limitations associated with the use of free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow include that they do not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures as they do not incorporate certain cash payments, including payments made on capital lease obligations or cash payments for business acquisitions. Management compensates for these limitations by utilizing the non-GAAP measures, free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow, and the GAAP measure, cash flows from operating activities, in its evaluation of performance.

Capital Resources, Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Commitments

At June 30, 2018, total capitalization was $1,528.6, consisting of $119.9of short-term and long-term debt and capital lease obligations, $1,350.3of equity and $58.4of temporary equity associated with the convertible debentures conversion feature. At December 31, 2017, total capitalization was $1,705.8, consisting of $268.6of short-term and long-term debt and capital lease obligations, $1,377.7of equity and $59.5of temporary equity associated with the convertible debentures conversion feature. The total debt-to-capital ratio at June 30, 2018was 7.8%, compared to 15.7%at December 31, 2017.

On January 11, 2017(the Effective Date), the Company entered into a new credit agreement (Credit Agreement) and repaid all amounts outstanding and terminated all commitments under its previously existing credit agreement (Prior Credit Agreement) using initial borrowings under the Credit Agreement as well as borrowings under the Company's asset securitization facility. The Credit Agreement consists of a $215.0unsecured term loan facility (Term Loan), maturing on March 3, 2019, and a $300.0unsecured revolving credit facility (Revolving Credit Facility), maturing on January 11, 2022. On the Effective Date, the Company drew $100.0in initial borrowings under the Term Loan. A $1.0extinguishment loss was recognized on the Effective Date and is included in Interest expense on the Consolidated Statement of Income for the six months ended June 30, 2017.

The Revolving Credit Facility may be extended for two additional one-year periods, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement. In addition, aggregate borrowing capacity under the Credit Agreement may be increased by up to an additional $250.0million by increasing the amount of the Revolving Credit Facility or by incurring additional term loans, in each case subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement, including the receipt of additional commitments for such increase. Borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement may be repaid from time to time without premium or penalty, other than customary breakage costs, if any. Borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to, at the Company's option, either (a) the applicable adjusted LIBOR plus a spread based on the Company's total net leverage ratio, or (b) a base rate (equal to the higher of the Administrative Agent's prime rate, the federal fund rate plus 0.50%, and the one-month adjusted LIBOR plus 1.0%) plus a spread based on the Company's total net leverage ratio. The Company is also obligated to pay a commitment fee on a quarterly basis on the unused portion of the commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility based on the Company's total net leverage ratio, which fee is currently 25 basis points. While amounts borrowed and repaid under the Revolving Credit Facility can be re-borrowed, amounts repaid under the Term Loan cannot be borrowed again under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement contains certain affirmative and negative covenants, as well as terms and conditions that are customary for credit facilities of this type, including financial covenants for leverage and interest coverage ratios. The Company was in compliance with all covenants at June 30, 2018. Total borrowing capacity remaining under the Revolving Credit Facility was $300.0, with the borrowings under the Term Loan fully repaid as of June 30, 2018.

During 2009, Convergys issued $125.0aggregate principal amount of 5.75%Junior Subordinated Convertible Debentures due September 2029 (2029 Convertible Debentures) in exchange for $122.5of 4.875%Unsecured Senior Notes due December 15, 2009, pursuant to an exchange offer. The entire balance of the 2029 Convertible Debentures remained outstanding and was convertible at the option of the holders as of June 30, 2018and December 31, 2017. The Mergers will constitute a Fundamental Change and a Make-Whole Fundamental Change under the terms of the Indenture. As a result, following the closing of the Mergers, holders of the 2029 Convertible Debentures will be permitted to (i) convert their 2029 Convertible Debentures at a temporarily increased conversion rate, (ii) tender their 2029 Convertible Debentures for repurchase at a price equal to the principal amount plus accrued but unpaid interest, or (iii) continue holding their 2029 Convertible Debentures. Upon conversion following the closing of the Mergers, the 2029 Convertible Debentures would be convertible into either cash or a combination of cash and shares of SYNNEX common stock, at the election of the issuer, which would then be a subsidiary of SYNNEX.

During January 2017, the Company amended the terms of its asset securitization facility collateralized by accounts receivable of certain of the Company's subsidiaries. The amendment resulted in an increased purchase limit of $225.0, with $90.0and $135.0expiring in January 2018 and January 2020, respectively. The asset securitization facility was further amended in January 2018 to extend the expiration date for the $90.0purchase limit to January 2019. The asset securitization program is conducted through Convergys Funding Inc., a wholly-owned bankruptcy remote subsidiary of the Company. As of June 30, 2018and December 31, 2017, Convergys had drawn $54.0and $103.0, respectively, in available funding from qualified receivables. Amounts drawn under this facility have been classified as long-term debt within the Consolidated Balance Sheets, based on the Company's ability and intent to refinance on a long-term basis as of June 30, 2018.

During the secondquarter of 2018, we repurchased 0.5of our common shares for $10.5pursuant to a share repurchase authorization approved by the Company's Board of Directors in August 2015, which increased the share repurchase authorization to $250.0. Based upon the timing of transactions, $0.3 of the shares repurchased during December 2017 settled during the first quarter of 2018. At June 30, 2018, the Company had the authority to repurchase $34.7of outstanding common shares under the Board's August 2015 authorization. The timing and terms of any future transactions will depend on a number of considerations including market conditions, our available liquidity and capital needs, and limits on share repurchases that may be applicable under the covenants in our Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, we may not, without SYNNEX's consent, repurchase shares prior to the closing of the Mergers or termination of the Merger Agreement.

At June 30, 2018, we had outstanding letters of credit and bond obligations of approximately $21.9related to performance guarantees. We believe that any guarantee obligation that may arise related to performance and payment guarantees of continuing operations will not be material. The Company also has future purchase commitments with telecommunications and transportation providers of $5.3at June 30, 2018.

During 2017and 2018, our Board of Directors declared the following dividends per common share, which were paid by the Company on the payment dates listed below:

Announcement Date	Record Date	Dividend Amount	Payment Date
February 22, 2017	March 24, 2017	$0.09	April 7, 2017
May 8, 2017	June 23, 2017	$0.10	July 7, 2017
August 8, 2017	September 22, 2017	$0.10	October 6, 2017
November 7, 2017	December 22, 2017	$0.10	January 5, 2018
February 21, 2018	March 23, 2018	$0.10	April 6, 2018
May 8, 2018	June 22, 2018	$0.11	July 6, 2018

The Board expects that future cash dividends will be paid on a quarterly basis until the closing of the Mergers. However, any decision to pay future cash dividends will be subject to Board approval, and will depend on our future earnings, cash flow, financial condition, financial covenants and other relevant factors.

The Merger Agreement limits our ability to pay dividends. The Merger Agreement generally provides that prior to the closing of the Mergers or termination of the Merger Agreement, we cannot, without SYNNEX's consent, make, declare or pay any dividend on our common shares other than regular quarterly cash dividends not in excess of $0.11 per share.

MARKET RISK

We are exposed to a variety of market risks, including the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices. Our risk management strategy includes the use of derivative instruments to reduce the effects on our operating results and cash flows from fluctuations caused by volatility in currency exchange rates. In using derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to changes in exchange rates, we expose ourselves to counterparty credit risk. We manage exposure to counterparty credit risk by entering into derivative financial instruments with investment grade-rated institutions that can be expected to perform fully under the terms of the agreements and by diversifying the number of financial institutions with which we enter into such agreements.

Interest Rate Risk

At June 30, 2018, Convergys had $54.0 of variable rate debt outstanding under the Asset Securitization Facility, which exposes Convergys to changes in interest rates. Holding other variables constant, including the total amount of outstanding indebtedness, a one hundred basis point increase in interest rates on our variable-rate debt would cause an estimated increase in interest expense of approximately $0.5 per year.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

While most of our contracts are priced in U.S. dollars, we also recognize revenue under contracts that are denominated in euros, British pounds, Australian dollars and Canadian dollars. A significant increase in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to these currencies may have a material adverse impact on the value of those revenues when translated to U.S. dollars.

We serve many of our U.S.-based clients using contact center capacity outside of the U.S. Although the contracts with these clients are typically priced in U.S. dollars, a substantial portion of the costs incurred to deliver services under these contracts are denominated in the local currency of the country where services are provided, which represents a foreign exchange exposure. Additionally, we have certain client contracts that are priced in Australian dollars, for which a substantial portion of the costs to deliver services are denominated in other currencies. As of June 30, 2018, we have hedged a portion of our exposure related to the anticipated cash flow requirements denominated in certain foreign currencies by entering into hedging contracts with several financial institutions to acquire a total of PHP 31,875.0at a fixed price of $614.2at various dates through March 2021, INR 10,065.0at a fixed price of $139.8at various dates through March 2021, CAD 48.0at a fixed price of $36.6at various dates through June 2020and COP 45,600.0at a fixed price of $14.9at various dates through March 2020, and to sell a total of AUD 22.2at a fixed price of $17.3at various dates through September 2019. The fair value of these derivative instruments as of June 30, 2018is presented in Note 13 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The potential loss in fair value at June 30, 2018for such contracts resulting from a hypothetical 10% adverse change in the underlying foreign currency exchange rates is approximately $79.3. This loss would be substantially mitigated by corresponding gains on the underlying foreign currency exposures.

Other foreign currency exposures arise from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency. We periodically enter into hedging contracts that are not designated as hedges. The purpose of these derivative instruments is to protect the Company against foreign currency exposure pertaining to receivables, payables and intercompany transactions that are denominated in currencies different from the functional currencies of the Company or the respective subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2018, the fair value of these derivatives not designated as hedges was an $8.0receivable.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The information required by Item 3 is included in Item 2 of this Form 10-Q.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, together with the Company's Chief Accounting Officer and other key members of management, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's 'disclosure controls and procedures' (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Act)) as of the end of the quarter ended June 30, 2018(Evaluation Date). Based on this evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the Evaluation Date to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, and that such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms.

Changes in Internal Control

There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this quarterly report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

For a discussion of certain legal proceedings, see Note 11 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q, which is incorporated by reference herein.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

In addition to the risk factors set forth in 'ITEM 1A. Risk Factors' of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, investors should consider the following risk factors and the other information contained in this report. Our business, financial condition or results of operations could be adversely affected if any of these risks occur.

The proposed Mergers may not be completed within the expected timeframe, or at all, and the failure to complete the proposed Mergers could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial position and the trading price of our common shares.

As described elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, on June 28, 2018, the Company entered into the Merger Agreement providing for the Mergers, with the Company to survive the Mergers as a wholly owned subsidiary of SYNNEX. Completion of the Mergers is subject to (1) approval by the SYNNEX stockholders of the issuance of SYNNEX common stock to be paid as consideration in the Mergers, (2) the adoption of the Merger Agreement by our shareholders and (3) other customary closing conditions, the satisfaction of which are subject to risks and uncertainties. Failure to complete the Mergers could adversely affect our business, results of operations and the market price of our common shares, including through the following:

•	if the Mergers are not completed, and no other parties are willing and able to acquire the Company at a comparable or better price on terms acceptable to us, the trading price of our common shares may decline;

•	we have incurred, and will continue to incur, significant costs, expenses and fees for professional services and other transaction costs in connection with the proposed Mergers, for which we will receive little or no benefit if the Mergers are not completed;

•	the failure to complete the Mergers may result in negative publicity and a negative impression of the Company in the investment community; and

•	upon termination of the Merger Agreement by the Company or SYNNEX under specified circumstances, we would be required to pay a termination fee of $74 million.

The occurrence of any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and the trading price of our common shares.

The announcement and pendency of the proposed Mergers could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The announcement and pendency of the proposed Mergers could cause disruptions in and create uncertainty regarding our business, which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations, regardless of whether the Mergers are completed. These risks, which could be exacerbated by a delay in the completion of the Mergers, include the following:

•	the diversion of management's attention from ongoing business concerns and difficulty building and maintaining existing or new relationships with customers, suppliers, vendors and other business partners;

•	employee uncertainty about post-Merger roles with SYNNEX and the difficulty of integration, which may adversely affect our ability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel;

•	our inability to pursue alternative business opportunities, including strategic acquisitions, or make appropriate changes to our business because of certain covenants restricting our business in the Merger Agreement; and

•	the costs and potential adverse outcomes of potential litigation relating to the Mergers.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

The Board expects that future cash dividends will be paid on a quarterly basis until the closing of the Mergers. However, any decision to pay future cash dividends will be subject to Board approval, and will depend on the Company's future earnings, cash flow, financial condition, financial covenants and other relevant factors.

We repurchased 1.2of our common shares for $26.8during the six months ended June 30, 2018, as summarized in the following table:

	Shares repurchased			Average price per share
January 2018	227,900				$22.95
February 2018	209,100			22.63
March 2018	271,400			23.21
April 2018	271,300			23.25
May 2018	179,900			23.45
June 2018	-			-
Total	1,159,600				$23.10

All share repurchases were made pursuant to publicly announced programs. At June 30, 2018, the Company had the authority to repurchase $34.7of outstanding common shares pursuant to the Board of Directors' most recent share repurchase authorization of $250.0 in August 2015. The timing and terms of any future transactions will depend on a number of considerations including market conditions, our available liquidity and capital needs, and limits on share repurchases that may be applicable under the covenants in our Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, we may not, without SYNNEX's consent, repurchase shares prior to the closing of the Mergers or termination of the Merger Agreement.
