Item 8 7.01 ~~Other~~Regulation ~~Events.~~FD Disclosure.

On ~~September 19~~November 2, 2012, EVERTEC Group, LLC (“EVERTEC”) issued a press release announcing ~~its~~it ~~name~~had ~~change~~received tofrom ~~EVERTEC~~the ~~Group,~~Government ~~LLC~~of Puerto Rico a 15-year tax grant under the Tax Incentive Act 73 of 2008. A copy of the press release is ~~filed~~attached ~~herewith~~ as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated inherein ~~this Item 8.01~~ by reference.

~~Item~~On October 919, 2012, EVERTEC was granted a tax exemption under the Tax Incentive Act No.01 73 ~~Financial~~of ~~Statement~~2008. Under this grant, EVERTEC will benefit from a preferential income tax rate on industrial development income, as well as from tax exemptions with respect to its municipal and ~~Exhibits~~property tax obligations for certain activities derived from its data processing operations in Puerto Rico. The grant has a term of 15 years effective as of January 1, 2012 with respect to income tax obligations and January 1, 2013 with respect to municipal and property tax obligations.

~~Exhibits~~The grant establishes a base taxable income amount with respect to EVERTEC’s industrial development income, which amount will continue to be subject to the ordinary income tax rate under existing law. Applicable taxable income in excess of the established base taxable income amount will be subject to a preferential rate of 4%. The base taxable income amount will be ratably reduced over a four year period until such amount equals zero at which point all of EVERTEC’s applicable industrial development income will be taxed at the preferential rate of 4% for the remaining period of the grant. The grant also establishes a 90% exemption on certain real and property taxes and a 60% exemption on municipal taxes, in each case imposed on EVERTEC. In addition, distributions to equity holders by EVERTEC of the industrial development income will not be subject to Puerto Rico tollgate taxes.

ExhibitNo.		Description
99.1		Press Release dated September 19, 2012.

The grant contains customary commitments, conditions and representations that EVERTEC will be required to comply with in order to maintain the grant. The more significant commitments include: (i) maintaining at least 750 employees in EVERTEC’s Puerto Rico data processing operations during 2012 and at least 700 employees for the remaining years of the grant; and (ii) investing at least $200 million in building, machinery, equipment or computer programs to be used in Puerto Rico during the effective term of the grant (to be made in $50 million increments over four year capital investment cycles). Failure to meet the requirements could result, among other things, in reductions in the benefits of the grant or revocation of the grant in its entirety, which could result in EVERTEC paying additional taxes or other payments relative to what such parties would be required to pay if the full benefits of the grant are available. In addition, the protection from Puerto Rican tollgate taxes on distributions to equity holders may be lost

EVERTEC is furnishing the information under this Item 7.01 in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, to comply with Regulation FD.
