ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT
On March 13, 2013, we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-187232) utilizing a shelf registration process relating to the securities described in this prospectus supplement, which became effective upon filing. Under this shelf registration process, the selling stockholders named in a prospectus supplement may, from time to time, offer and sell our common stock in one or more offerings or resales.
We are providing information to you about this offering in two separate documents: (1) this prospectus supplement, which describes the specific details regarding this offering; and (2) the accompanying prospectus, which provides general information, some of which may not apply to this offering. Generally, when we refer to this “prospectus,” we are referring to both documents combined. To the extent information in this prospectus supplement is inconsistent with the accompanying prospectus, this prospectus supplement supersedes such information.
The rules of the SEC allow us to incorporate by reference information into this prospectus supplement.

You must not rely upon any information or representation not contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus. This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus do not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities in any jurisdiction to any person to whom it is unlawful to make such offer or solicitation in such jurisdiction.
You should not assume that the information contained in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus or any free writing prospectus prepared by us is accurate on any date subsequent to the date set forth on the front of the document or that any information we have incorporated by reference is correct on any date subsequent to the date of the document incorporated by reference, even though this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus is delivered or securities are sold on a later date.

The selling stockholders are offering the shares of common stock described in this prospectus supplement through Barclays Capital Inc. (the “underwriter”). We and the selling stockholders have entered into an underwriting agreement with the underwriter. Subject to the terms and conditions of the underwriting agreement, the selling stockholders have agreed to sell to the underwriter, and the underwriter has agreed to purchase 7,750,000 shares from the selling stockholders.
The following table summarizes the underwriting discounts and commissions the selling stockholders will pay the underwriter. The underwriting fee is the difference between the initial price to the public and the amount the underwriter pays to the selling stockholders for the shares.

| Total |
$ | 1,550,000 |
The underwriter has advised us that it proposes to offer the shares of common stock directly to the public at the public offering price on the cover of this prospectus supplement and to selected dealers, which may include the underwriter, at such offering price less a selling commission not in excess of $0.10 per share. After the offering, the underwriter may change the offering price and other selling terms.
We will pay all of the expenses of the offering, excluding any underwriting discounts and commissions of the selling stockholders. We estimate that our total expenses with respect to the offering, excluding underwriting discounts and commissions, will be approximately $438,680. We have agreed to reimburse all filing fees and the reasonable fees and disbursements incurred by the counsel to the underwriter in connection with the review and qualification of the offering of shares by FINRA.
We and the selling stockholders have agreed that, without the prior written consent of the underwriter, we and they will not, during the period ending 60 days after the date of this prospectus supplement:
| • | offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of our common stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for common stock; or |
| • | enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of our common stock, |
whether any transaction described above is to be settled by delivery of our common stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise. In addition, we and each such person agrees that, without the prior written consent of the underwriter, it will not, during the period ending 60 days after the date of this prospectus supplement, make any demand for, or exercise any right with respect to, the registration of any shares of common stock or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for common stock, other than with respect to this offering.
The restrictions described in the immediately preceding paragraph do not apply to:
| • | the sale of shares to the underwriter; |
| • | transactions by any person other than us relating to shares of common stock or other securities acquired in open market transactions after the completion of the offering of the shares; |

| • | a stockholder’s entry into, or amendment of, a written trading plan designed to comply with Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, provided that no sales are made pursuant to such trading plan during the restricted period and that the establishment of such plan will not result in any public filing or other public announcement of such plan by the locked-up party or us during the restricted period; |
| • | the exercise of an option to purchase shares of common stock granted under a stock incentive plan or stock purchase plan described in this prospectus or the acceptance of restricted stock awards from us and the disposition of shares of restricted stock to us pursuant to the terms of such plan, as well as the payment by the stockholder of the exercise price of such option or any required withholding taxes through the surrender by the stockholder to us of shares of common stock owned by the stockholder or shares of common stock otherwise issuable to the stockholder upon exercise of such option; provided, that any shares of common stock so acquired shall be subject to the lock-up restrictions; or |

In connection with this offering, the underwriter may engage in stabilizing transactions, which involves making bids for, purchasing and selling shares of common stock in the open market for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the common stock while this offering is in progress. These stabilizing transactions may include making short sales of the common stock, which involves the sale by the underwriter of a greater number of shares of common stock than it is required to purchase in this offering, and purchasing shares of common stock on the open market to cover positions created by short sales.
The underwriter has advised us that, pursuant to Regulation M of the Securities Act of 1933, it may also engage in other activities that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the common stock, including the imposition of penalty bids.
These activities may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of the common stock or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the common stock, and, as a result, the price of the common stock may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open market. If the underwriter commences these activities, it may discontinue them at any time. The underwriter may carry out these transactions on The NASDAQ Global Select Market, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise.
Other than in the United States, no action has been taken by us or the underwriter that would permit a public offering of the securities offered by this prospectus supplement in any jurisdiction where action for that purpose is required. The securities offered by this prospectus supplement may not be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, nor may this prospectus supplement or any other offering material or advertisements in connection with the offer and sale of any such securities be distributed or published in any jurisdiction, except under circumstances that will result in compliance with the applicable rules and regulations of that jurisdiction. Persons into whose possession this prospectus supplement comes are advised to inform themselves about and to observe any restrictions relating to the offering and the distribution of this prospectus supplement. This prospectus supplement does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities offered by this prospectus supplement in any jurisdiction in which such an offer or a solicitation is unlawful.
We, the selling stockholders and the underwriter have agreed to indemnify each other against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

A. to any legal entity that is a qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Directive;

Each person in a Relevant Member State (other than a Relevant Member State where there is a Permitted Public Offer) who initially acquires any shares or to whom any offer is made will be deemed to have represented, acknowledged and agreed that (A) it is a “qualified investor” within the meaning of the law in that Relevant Member State implementing Article 2(1)(e) of the Prospectus Directive and (B) in the case of any shares acquired by it as a financial intermediary, as that term is used in Article 3(2) of the Prospectus Directive, the shares acquired by it in the offering have not been acquired on behalf of, nor have they been acquired with a view to their offer or resale to, persons in any Relevant Member State other than “qualified investors” as defined in the Prospectus Directive, or in circumstances in which the prior consent of the subscribers has been given to the offer or resale. In the case of any shares being offered to a financial intermediary as that term is used in Article 3(2) of the Prospectus Directive, each such financial intermediary will be deemed to have represented, acknowledged and agreed that the shares acquired by it in the offer have not been acquired on a non-discretionary basis on behalf of, nor have they been acquired with a view to their offer or resale to, persons in circumstances which may give rise to an offer of any shares to the public other than their offer or resale in a Relevant Member State to qualified investors as so defined or in circumstances in which the prior consent of the representatives has been obtained to each such proposed offer or resale.
The Company, the representatives and their affiliates will rely upon the truth and accuracy of the foregoing representation, acknowledgement and agreement.
This prospectus has been prepared on the basis that any offer of shares in any Relevant Member State will be made pursuant to an exemption under the Prospectus Directive from the requirement to publish a prospectus for offers of shares. Accordingly any person making or intending to make an offer in that Relevant Member State of shares which are the subject of the offering contemplated in this prospectus may only do so in circumstances in which no obligation arises for the Company or any of the underwriters to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive in relation to such offer. Neither the Company nor the underwriters have authorized, nor do they authorize, the making of any offer of shares in circumstances in which an obligation arises for the Company or the underwriters to publish a prospectus for such offer.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
On November 23, 2005, SS&C Holdings acquired SS&C through the merger of Sunshine Merger Corporation, our wholly owned subsidiary, with and into SS&C, with SS&C surviving the merger and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of SS&C Holdings. We refer to the acquisition, the equity contributions to SS&C Holdings by Mr. Stone and Carlyle in connection with the acquisition, SS&C Holding’s entry into senior secured credit facilities and its issuance and sale of senior subordinated notes, and the other transactions in connection with the acquisition as the “Transaction.”
Stockholders Agreement
On November 23, 2005, Mr. Stone became a party to a stockholders agreement with SS&C Holdings and Carlyle, which includes restrictions on transfer as well as other provisions described below. The parties amended certain provisions of the stockholders agreement in April 2008, March 2010 and March 2011.
Board of Directors. Pursuant to the stockholders agreement, our board of directors consists of eight members. The initial board arrangements under the stockholders agreement were as follows: Mr. Stone occupied one seat and had the right to designate one of the remaining board members, and Carlyle had the right to designate four board members. Accordingly, Mr. Stone designated Normand A. Boulanger; and Carlyle designated Campbell R. Dyer, William A. Etherington, Allan M. Holt and Claudius E. Watts, IV. Subsequently, the stockholders agreement was amended to provide that Mr. Stone and Carlyle would jointly designate two board members (Jonathan E. Michael and David A. Varsano) and the number of board members Carlyle was entitled to designate was reduced from four to two as the result of a reduction in its percentage ownership of our common stock. In May 2012, Mr. Etherington was re-elected to our board of directors by our stockholders for a three-year term. The number of board members which Mr. Stone is entitled to designate (including himself) will be reduced to one director if Mr. Stone holds less than 15% of our common stock. The number of board members which Carlyle is entitled to designate will be reduced to one director if Carlyle holds less than 15% of our common stock. Based on our shares outstanding as of March 11, 2013, assuming the sale by the selling stockholders of all 7,750,000 shares of our common stock covered by this prospectus and assuming no other sales or purchases of our common stock by the selling stockholders, following completion of the offering, Mr. Stone will beneficially own approximately 20.49% of our common stock and investment funds affiliated with Carlyle will beneficially own approximately 18.85% of our common stock.
Mr. Stone’s rights under the board of directors designation provisions of the stockholders agreement will terminate at such time as he holds less than 10% of our common stock. Carlyle’s rights under the board of directors designation provisions of the stockholders agreement will terminate at such time as Carlyle holds less than 10% of our common stock.

Bring-along rights. If any party to the stockholders agreement proposes to transfer 50% or more of all common stock held by the parties to the stockholders agreement to a third-party purchaser, then such transferring stockholder can require the other stockholders who are parties to the agreement to transfer their common stock on the same terms and conditions as the transferring holder.
Other rights. The stockholders agreement also contained certain tag-along and preemptive rights which terminated upon completion of our initial public offering in March 2010, or our IPO.
Service Provider Stockholders Agreement
On November 23, 2005, all of our members of management (other than Mr. Stone) and all employee option holders whose SS&C options were converted into options to acquire common stock of SS&C Holdings became parties to a service provider stockholders agreement with Carlyle and SS&C Holdings. In addition, certain holders of options to purchase our common stock have subsequently become parties to the service provider stockholders agreement. SS&C Holdings and Carlyle amended certain provisions of the service provider stockholders agreement in April 2008. Under the agreement, if Carlyle proposes to transfer 50% or more of our outstanding common stock to a third-party purchaser, then Carlyle can require the members of our management and employee option holders who are parties to the agreement to transfer their common stock and options on the same terms and conditions as Carlyle (bring-along rights).
Registration Rights Agreement
On November 23, 2005, Mr. Stone became a party to a registration rights agreement with SS&C Holdings and Carlyle, which provides for certain registration rights. Under the registration rights agreement, either Carlyle or Mr. Stone can demand that we file a registration statement for all or a portion of their common stock. Carlyle and Mr. Stone are also entitled to request that their shares be covered by a registration statement that we are otherwise filing with respect to our common stock. These registration rights are subject to conditions and limitations, including the right of the underwriters of an offering to limit the number of shares included in certain registrations. Under the registration rights agreement, we have also agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against certain liabilities relating to the selling of the common stock, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act, and to pay the costs and fees of registering the shares of common stock; however, the selling stockholders will pay any brokerage commissions, discounts or other expenses relating to the sale of shares of common stock. The registration statement of which this prospectus is a part was filed at the request of Carlyle pursuant to the registration rights agreement.
Management Rights Agreement
Carlyle, SS&C Holdings and SS&C entered into a management rights agreement on November 23, 2005, pursuant to which Carlyle Partners IV, L.P. was granted (1) the right to nominate one director to serve as a member of our board of directors and to appoint one non-voting board observer to the board of directors of SS&C, (2) reasonable access to the books and records of SS&C Holdings and SS&C and their subsidiaries and (3) the right to consult from time to time with the management of SS&C Holdings and SS&C and their subsidiaries at their respective place of business regarding operating and financial matters. The management rights agreement will terminate with respect to SS&C when SS&C Holdings and its affiliates no longer beneficially own any voting securities of SS&C. The management rights agreement will terminate with respect to SS&C Holdings when Carlyle and its affiliates no longer beneficially own any voting securities of SS&C Holdings.
Fund Administration Services Agreement
On August 12, 2008, Walkers SPV Limited acting solely in its capacity as trustee of the Carlyle Series Trust and its classes or sub-trusts, Carlyle Loan Investment Ltd., CLP Cayman Holdco, Ltd., CCPMF Cayman Holdco, Carlyle Credit Partners Financing I, Ltd., which we refer to collectively as the “Funds”, and Carlyle Investment Management L.L.C. entered into a fund administration services agreement with SS&C. Pursuant to the fund

administration services agreement, the Funds appointed SS&C to act as administrator, registrar and transfer agent and to provide the Funds with certain fund administration services, including daily processing and reconciliation services, fund accounting services and unitholder services, and such ancillary services as are set forth in work requests that may be executed by the parties from time to time. The agreement became effective on July 1, 2008, and the Funds are in the process of liquidation. SS&C is paid a monthly charge based on annual rates derived from the net asset value of the Funds, subject to a minimum monthly fee. SS&C also receives certain hourly and other fees for any ancillary services that it provides under the agreement. From January 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012, the Funds paid an aggregate of $31,000 to SS&C under the agreement.
Processing Services Agreement
On June 22, 2009, Carlyle Investment Management L.L.C. entered into a processing services agreement with SS&C. Pursuant to the agreement, SS&C provides investment accounting and data processing services. The agreement was amended in June 2011 to extend it through June 21, 2014. SS&C is paid a monthly fee based on annual rates derived from the net asset value of Carlyle Investment Management L.L.C., subject to a minimum monthly fee. SS&C also receives other fees for certain ancillary services that it provides under the agreement. From January 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012, Carlyle Investment Management L.L.C. paid an aggregate of $0.2 million to SS&C under the agreement.
Amended and Restated Stock Option Agreement
On April 8, 2003, Mr. Stone was granted a stock option, expiring on April 8, 2013, to purchase 1,275,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.89 per share. On March 7, 2013 our board of directors approved, and on March 10, 2013 SS&C Holdings and Mr. Stone entered into, an Amended and Restated Stock Option Agreement to provide that the option covers class A non-voting common stock rather than voting common stock. On March 7, 2013, our board of directors also approved the ability of Mr. Stone to satisfy any withholding taxes payable in connection with exercise of this option through (1) the surrender to SS&C Holdings of shares of common stock owned by Mr. Stone and/or (2) the withholding of shares of common stock otherwise issuable to Mr. Stone upon exercise of the option, in either case with the fair market value of the surrendered and/or withheld shares being equal to the exercise price payable upon exercise. In the event that Mr. Stone satisfies his withholding tax obligations with shares of common stock, SS&C Holdings would be required to pay the withholding taxes in cash to the applicable taxing authorities. In lieu of satisfying his withholding tax obligations with shares of common stock, Mr. Stone intends to use a significant portion of his net proceeds from the sale of his shares offered hereby to pay the exercise price and taxes associated with his exercise of this stock option prior to its expiration.
In May 2011, we entered into a similar Amended and Restated Stock Option Agreement with Mr. Stone, pursuant to which a stock option to acquire 637,500 shares of SS&C Holdings’ common stock was amended such that it became a stock option to purchase 637,500 shares of SS&C Holdings’ class A non-voting common stock. Mr. Stone subsequently exercised this stock option.
The shares covered by this prospectus may be offered and sold from time to time by the selling stockholders. The term “selling stockholders” includes donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest selling shares received after the date of this prospectus from the selling stockholders as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other non-sale related transfer. The selling stockholders will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale. Such sales may be made on one or more exchanges or in the over-the-counter market or otherwise, at prices and under terms then prevailing or at prices related to the then-current market price or in negotiated transactions. The selling stockholders may sell their shares by one or more of, or a combination of, the following methods:
| • | purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by such broker-dealer for its own account pursuant to this prospectus; |
6
Table of Contents
| • | ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers; |
| • | block trades in which the broker-dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; |
| • | an over-the-counter distribution in accordance with the rules of The NASDAQ Global Select Market; |
| • | in privately negotiated transactions; and |
| • | in options transactions. |
In addition, any shares that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this prospectus.
To the extent required, this prospectus may be amended or supplemented from time to time to describe a specific plan of distribution. In connection with distributions of the shares or otherwise, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions. In connection with such transactions, broker-dealers or other financial institutions may engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume with a selling stockholder. The selling stockholders may also sell the common stock short and redeliver the shares to close out such short positions. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction). The selling stockholders may also pledge shares to a broker-dealer or other financial institution, and, upon a default, such broker-dealer or other financial institution, may effect sales of the pledged shares pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
In effecting sales, broker-dealers or agents engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate. Broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions, discounts or concessions from the selling stockholders in amounts to be negotiated immediately prior to the sale.
In offering the shares covered by this prospectus, any broker-dealers who execute sales for the selling stockholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. The compensation of any broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions.
The specific terms of the lock-up provisions, if any, in respect of any given offering will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.
In order to comply with the securities laws of certain states, if applicable, the shares must be sold in such jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain states the shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.
We have advised the selling stockholders that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the activities of the selling stockholders and their respective affiliates. In addition, we will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling stockholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The selling stockholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
At the time a particular offer of shares is made, if required, a prospectus supplement will be distributed that will set forth the number of shares being offered, the method of distribution and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any underwriters, dealers or agents, the purchase price paid by any underwriter, any discount, commission and other item constituting compensation, any discount, commission or concession allowed or reallowed or paid to any dealer, and the proposed selling price to the public.
