Item 1.01.          Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

     As previously disclosed, on May 30, 2007, Ceridian Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Ceridian”), Foundation Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”) and Foundation Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”). On July 30, 2007 the parties to the Merger Agreement entered into an amendment to the Merger Agreement (the “Amendment”) pursuant to a partial settlement of a purported class action complaint in the Delaware Court of Chancery filed by the Minneapolis Firefighters’ Relief Association, Civil Action No. 2996-CC.

     The Amendment, among other things, (1) changes the definition of “Superior Proposal,” as defined in the Merger Agreement, to decrease the trigger from 66 2/3% to 40% of Ceridian’s assets or stock; (2) eliminates the provision in the Merger Agreement permitting Parent to terminate the Merger Agreement upon an election resulting in a majority of the Ceridian board of directors being comprised of persons who were not nominated by the board in office immediately prior to such election; and (3) entitles Parent to waive, on behalf of all parties to the Merger Agreement, the condition to the Merger relating to the receipt of state regulatory approvals with respect to the licenses held by Comdata Network, Inc. or its affiliates as a seller of checks, money transmitter or payroll processor.

     The foregoing summary of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Amendment attached as Exhibit 2.2 hereto, which is incorporated herein by reference.

     Additional information about the Merger Agreement, the Amendment and the Merger may be found in Ceridian’s definitive proxy statement relating to its 2007 annual meeting of stockholders, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 31, 2007. Security holders are strongly advised to read the proxy statement in its entirety because it contains important information (see “Additional Information and Where to Find It,” below).

Item 8.01.          Other Events

     On August 2, 2007, the parties in Sullivan v. Marinello, et al., Case No. 27-CV-07-12994, reached an agreement to settle the case. The terms of the settlement include an agreement by the Company to make certain additional disclosures, which were included in the Company’s definitive proxy statement distributed to stockholders in connection with the Merger. The terms of the settlement also include, among other things, (i) an agreement by the plaintiff that the action will be stayed pending court approval of the proposed settlement of the actions brought in the Delaware Court of Chancery by the Minneapolis Firefighters’ Relief Association; and (ii) dismissal with prejudice of the action upon court approval of the settlement of the Delaware litigation.
