Although the Board remains confident in its current composition, including the diversity and skillset of the current directors, the Board continually seeks to identify new director candidates that enhance the skills and experience of the Board as a whole and support the Company’s evolving business strategy.

    Our business is managed under the direction and oversight of our Board. The Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company provide that our Board shall consist of at least five and no more than fifteen directors. Our proposed nominees for election to the Board consist of eleven non-employee directors and one management director. Each member of our Board is elected annually for a one-year term. If elected by our shareholders, each nominee will hold office for a one-year term expiring at the 2024 annual meeting of shareholders and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified, or until the directors earlier resignation or removal. Our Board has no reason to believe that any nominee for director will be unable or unavailable to serve. However, if any nominee should for any reason become unable or unavailable to serve prior to the 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, proxies will be voted for another nominee selected by the Board. Proxies cannot be voted for more than twelve persons. Alternatively, at our Boards discretion, proxies may be voted for fewer nominees as a result of a directors inability or unavailability to serve. The following is biographical information concerning the twelve nominees for election as directors of the Company: The number of public company boards listed for each nominee does not include their service on the FIS Board.

  9. ON FOUR STRATEGIC PILLARS

    | Nominees for Election as Director The FIS Board is diverse, with three of eight directors standing for re-election being either gender or ethnically diverse. More broadly, the collective skills, talents, experiences and perspectives of the Board are also diverse. We have executives who have worked in the fields of banking, technology, payments and financial services, among others. We have several current or former CEOs, but also have directors who have had executive responsibilities globally in operations, finance, sales and legal functions. The director nominee tenure on the FIS Board spans from one to 11 years. This combined experience allows the directors to bring diversity of thought, background and experience to bear on the matters addressed by the Board. Although the Board remains confident in its current composition, including the diversity and skillset of the current directors, the Board continually seeks to identify new director candidates that enhance the skills and experience of the Board as a whole and support the Company’s evolving business strategy. As part of this process, the Board is endeavoring to enhance the gender diversity of the board by the 2025 annual meeting of shareholders. |

  64. POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OR CHANGE IN CONTROL

    POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OR CHANGE IN CONTROL In this section, we discuss the nature and estimated value of payments and benefits we would provide to our named executive officers in the event of termination of employment or a change in control. The amounts described in this section are what would be due under our named executive officers’ employment agreements and our compensation and benefit plans and agreements if employment had terminated or a change in control had occurred on December 31, 2023. The types of termination situations include a voluntary termination by the executive, with or without good reason, a termination by us either for cause or not for cause and termination in the event of disability or death. We also describe the estimated payments and benefits that would be provided upon a change in control without a termination of employment. The actual payments and benefits that would be provided would be based on the named executive officers’ compensation and benefit levels at the time of the termination of employment or change in control and the value of accelerated vesting of stock-based awards would depend on the value of the underlying stock. For each type of employment termination, the named executive officers would be entitled to benefits that are available generally to our U.S. salaried employees, such as distributions under our 401(k) savings plan, certain disability benefits and accrued vacation. We have not described or provided an estimate of the value of any payments or benefits under plans or arrangements that do not discriminate in scope, terms or operation in favor of a named executive officer and that are generally available to all salaried employees. These plans are discussed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section and the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation table and accompanying narratives. Mr. Gileadi and Ms. Williams are eligible and would have received benefits under the Qualified Retirement Equity Program in the event of retirement during 2023 with an estimated value of $2,350,179 and $4,066,679, respectively.

  65. POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UNDER EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

    POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UNDER EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS As discussed previously, we have entered into employment agreements with each of our named executive officers. The employment agreements contain provisions for the payment of severance benefits following certain termination events. Following is a summary of the payments and benefits our named executive officers would receive in connection with various employment termination scenarios under their agreements in effect on December 31, 2023. For Mr. Hoag, whose employment agreement was amended in February 2024, the following also includes a summary of the relevant provisions as amended although they were not in effect as of December 31, 2023. If a named executive officer’s employment is terminated for any reason, we will pay any earned but unpaid base salary, any expense reimbursement payments owed, any accrued but unused vacation pay, and any earned but unpaid annual bonus payments relating to the prior year (with subjective goals being treated as achieved at no less than target in the case of Ms. Ferris), which we refer to as “accrued obligations.” In the case of Ms. Ferris, Mr. Kehoe, Ms. Tsai and Ms. Williams, any accrued but unused vacation pay also constitute accrued obligations that we will pay if they are terminated for any reason. If a named executive officer’s employment is terminated by us for any reason other than for cause or due to the executive’s death or disability, or if the executive terminates his or her employment for good reason, then the executive is entitled to receive:

  66. POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UNDER EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

  68. POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UNDER EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

    | ○ | On February 19, 2024, Mr. Hoag and the Company entered into a Second Amendment to Employment Agreement as described more in detail on page 85.

  105. POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UNDER EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

    The employment agreements provide us and our shareholders with important protections and rights, including the following:

  106. POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UNDER EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

    | Exception/Protections | | Severance benefits under the agreements are conditioned upon the executive’s execution of a full release of FIS and related parties, thus limiting our exposure to lawsuits from the executive; | | During the executive’s employment with us and in the one-year period following termination of employment, the executive is prohibited from competing with us and from soliciting our customers, suppliers or employees on behalf of a competitor; and | | During employment and at all times thereafter the executive shall maintain the confidentiality of our confidential information and trade secrets. |

  107. POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UNDER STOCK PLANS

    POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UNDER STOCK PLANS In addition to the post-termination rights and obligations provided in the employment agreements, our 2008 Omnibus Plan provides for the potential acceleration of vesting and, if applicable, payment of equity awards in connection with a change in control. Under the 2008 Omnibus Plan, for equity awards granted prior to October 22, 2020, outstanding options become immediately exercisable and any restrictions imposed on restricted stock and restricted stock units, including vesting restrictions, lapse upon a change in control. PSUs will be deemed earned at the target level upon a change in control with respect to the open performance periods. In 2020, we amended the 2008 Omnibus Plan to adopt a double trigger change-in-control acceleration provision for the equity awards granted after October 22, 2020 that are assumed or replaced with a substantially equivalent award in connection with a change-in-control, instead of single trigger accelerated vesting. The 2022 Omnibus Plan also has a similar double trigger change-in-control acceleration provision. For purposes of the 2008 Omnibus Plan and the 2022 Omnibus Plan, the term “change in control” means the occurrence of any of the following events:

  108. POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UNDER STOCK PLANS

    | • | An acquisition by an individual, entity or group of 25% or more of our voting power, excluding certain acquisitions including pursuant to a transaction where conditions described in clause (i), (ii) and (iii) in the bullet below are satisfied; |

  109. POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UNDER STOCK PLANS

    | • | Consummation of a reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets, which we refer to as a “business combination” of FIS, unless, immediately following such business combination, (i) the persons who were the beneficial owners of our voting stock immediately prior to the business combination beneficially own more than 50% of our then outstanding shares, (ii) no person, entity or group beneficially owns 25% or more of the then outstanding shares of common stock of the entity resulting from that business combination, and (iii) at least a majority of the members of the board of directors of the entity resulting from the business combination were members of our incumbent board; |

  110. POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UNDER STOCK PLANS

    | • | During any period of two consecutive years, the individuals who, at the beginning of such period, constitute our board of directors cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the board of directors; or |

  111. POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UNDER STOCK PLANS

    | • | Our shareholders approve a plan or proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of FIS. |

  112. CEO PAY RATIO

    CEO PAY RATIO Our CEO pay ratio was calculated in compliance with the requirements set forth in Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K. We identified the median employee using our employee population as of October 1, 2023. To identify the median employee, we applied our consistently applied compensation measure across the identified populations. Our consistently applied compensation measure is the compensation provided to employees that is considered taxable wages in the country in which the employee is employed, and this definition was applied consistently within each country for the fiscal year 2023. We then calculated the median employee’s compensation for the fiscal year 2023 in the same manner as the named executive officers in the 2023 Summary Compensation Table. For fiscal year 2023, our median employee compensation was $43,839. The total compensation of Ms. Ferris, our chief executive officer, as reported in the Total column of the 2023 Summary Compensation Table was $19,435,522. The ratio of the annual total compensation of our CEO to that of our median employee is approximately 443:1. Our CEO pay ratio is influenced by the countries in which we have employees. Of our employee population on the measurement date, a substantial portion of our employees are in locations where wages are significantly lower than other locations in which we operate, including the United States where our executive offices are located.

The fair value of the stock options was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Adjustments have been made using stock option fair values as of each measurement date using the stock price, term, volatility, dividend yield, and risk-free rate as of the measurement date.

The fair value of the performance stock units without market condition was determined using the stock price at each measurement date and is based on (i) actual achievement of performance conditions for performance period completed or (ii) probable outcome of performance conditions as of each measurement date for performance periods not completed. For the fair value of time-vested restricted stock units grant date fair values are based on stock price as of each measurement date. The fair value calculation used herein is consistent with the fair value methodology used to account for share-based payments in our financial statements.

(11) For the relevant fiscal year, represents the cumulative TSR of the S&P Supercap Data Processing & Outsourced Services Index (the same industry index we use for purposes of the comparative total shareholder return graph in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023) including reinvestment of dividends. In our 2023 Proxy Statement, we calculated the cumulative peer group total shareholder return using our benchmarking peer group, which included the following companies: Adobe, Inc., American Express Company, Automatic Data Processing, Inc., Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., Cognizant Technology Corporation, Discover Financial Services, DXC Technology Co., Fiserv, Inc., Global Payments Inc., Intuit Inc., Mastercard Incorporated, Nasdaq, Inc., PayPal Holdings, Inc., salesforce.com, Inc., SS&C Technologies, Inc., Square, Inc., Visa Inc., and VMware, Inc. We decided to change from using our benchmarking peer group to an industry index because the industry index and TSR performance are more readily available, and because using the industry index avoids the need to recalculate prior years’ results when a change is made to the benchmarking peer group, thereby improving comparability of results between years. If we had continued using the same benchmarking peer group, the cumulative peer group TSR, assuming $100 invested in such peer group including reinvestment of dividends, would have been $138.15 for 2020, $146.05 for 2021, $110.85 for 2022 and $149.36 for 2023.

    Performance Measures Used to Link Company Performance and Compensation Actually Paid to the NEOs The following is a list of financial performance measures, which in our assessment represent the most important financial performance measures used by the Company to link compensation actually paid to the named executive officers for 2023.

  124. Performance Measures Used to Link Company Performance and Compensation Actually Paid to the NEOs

    | Performance measure | How calculated | Reason for use | | Revenue metric used for 2023 annual cash incentive program | Please see pages 67-69 | Please see pages 67-69 | | EBITDA metric used for 2023 annual cash incentive program | Please see pages 67-69 | Please see pages 67-69 | | Annual Organic Revenue Growth | The percentage increase of GAAP Revenue as reported in the Company’s current-period Annual Report on Form 10-K, as well as revenue from discontinued operations, excluding the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and revenues from our non-strategic businesses in our Corporate and Other Segment, compared to a revenue base for the prior period which is adjusted for the impact of acquisitions and divestitures. | Annual Organic Revenue Growth is a key metric that measures how the business is executing in growing its current business and generating new business. |

  125. Performance Measures Used to Link Company Performance and Compensation Actually Paid to the NEOs

    | Performance measure | How calculated | Reason for use | | Annual Margin Expansion | The percentage increase of Adjusted EBITDA divided by GAAP Revenue, both as reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and including discontinued operations. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net earnings (loss) before net interest expense, net other income (expense), income tax provision (benefit), equity method investment earnings (loss), and depreciation and amortization, and excludes certain costs and other transactions that management deems non-operational in nature as well as the impact of the non-strategic businesses in our Corporate and Other segment. | Annual Margin Expansion is a key metric used to monitor costs and determine the efficiency and scalability of the business as revenue grows. Combined with Organic Revenue Growth, these factors ensure growth of the fundamental business in a cost-focused manner. Annual Margin Expansion is widely followed by shareholders. | | Cash flow metric used for 2023 annual cash incentive program | Please see pages 67-69 | Please see pages 67-69 |
