Proposal 2: Ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026 The Audit Committee has appointed Deloitte & Touche LLP as DXC’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, and the Board asks stockholders to ratify that appointment. Although current law, rules, and regulations, as well as the charter of the Audit Committee, require the Audit Committee to engage, retain, and oversee DXC’s independent registered public accounting firm, the Board considers the appointment of the independent registered public accounting firm to be an important matter of stockholder concern and is submitting the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP for ratification by stockholders as a matter of good corporate practice. The Board considers the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as DXC’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026 to be in the best interests of DXC and its stockholders. A representative from Deloitte & Touche LLP will attend the meeting and will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire and respond to appropriate questions regarding the audit of DXC’s financial statements. If stockholders do not ratify the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP, the Audit Committee will consider whether it is appropriate to appoint a different independent registered public accounting firm.
Director Compensation
Director Compensation Director compensation is reviewed annually and approved by the Board of Directors at the recommendation of the Compensation Committee. The annual review includes an analysis by the Compensation Committee’s independent compensation consultant of the program’s framework and pay levels relative to DXC’s peer group. The director compensation program reflects several best practices to ensure sound governance and alignment with our stockholders:
Director Compensation
| Director Compensation Best Practices | | | Annual Benchmarking | Director compensation is reviewed annually relative to DXC’s peer group to ensure it is market-competitive. | | Mix of Cash and Equity | The program includes an appropriate mix of annual cash compensation and equity awards. | | Vesting Requirements of Annual Equity Awards | Restricted stock units granted under the Director Plan are scheduled to vest in full at the earlier of the first anniversary of the grant date, or the date of the next annual stockholders meeting. | | Equity Ownership Guidelines | Directors have an equity ownership guideline of five times their annual retainer to be achieved over a five-year period. | | Anti-Hedging or Anti-Pledging of Company Stock | Our insider trading policy prohibits employees and directors from engaging in any speculative or hedging transactions in our securities. Additionally, the policy prohibits employees and directors from pledging DXC securities as collateral for a loan. |

2.The Annual Equity Award is designed to be payable in the form of restricted stock units (RSUs) scheduled to vest in full at the earlier of (i) the first anniversary of the grant date, or (ii) the date of the next annual meeting of DXC’s stockholders. The RSUs are redeemed for DXC stock and dividend equivalents either at that time or, if an RSU deferral election form is submitted, upon the date or event elected by the director. Directors may elect to receive deferred RSUs at either a fixed in-service distribution date, which may be in August of any year after the year in which the RSUs vest within 15 years after the grant date, or upon their separation from the Board. Distributions made upon a director’s separation from the Board may occur in either a lump sum or in annual installments over periods of five, 10 or 15 years, per the director’s election. 3.As disclosed in DXC’s fiscal 2024 Proxy Statement, in connection with his appointment as Chairman of the Board, effective as of December 19, 2023, and through the day of the 2024 Annual Meeting (July 30, 2024), Mr. Herzog received (1) a monthly cash payment of $8,333 (or a prorated dollar value for each partial calendar month of service), and (2) a monthly equity award, granted on the last trading day of each calendar month, of a number of RSUs determined by dividing $71,667 (or a prorated dollar value for each partial calendar month of service) by the closing price of our common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the grant date, with all Chairman of the Board Monthly Equity Awards vested in full on July 30, 2024. 4.Directors are eligible to receive the additional meeting attendance fee for each additional meeting attended above certain thresholds, as follows: (i) $2,000 per meeting in excess of six Board meetings, (ii) $2,000 per meeting in excess of eight Audit Committee meetings; and (iii) $2,000 per meeting in excess of six Compensation or Nominating/Corporate Governance committee meetings.

Fiscal 2025 Compensation Plan Decisions: Strong Emphasis on Performance
| Long-Term Incentive Equity: Majority Performance-Based | •Majority of CEO and NEO long-term incentive equity awards are performance-based. •Overall, 78% (delivered in 70% PSUs and 30% RSUs) of our CEO’s target compensation is allocated to long-term incentive equity.* •For other NEOs, an average of approximately 76% (delivered in 60% PSUs and 40% RSUs) of their fiscal 2025 target compensation is allocated to long-term incentive equity.* | | Short-Term Annual Cash Incentive: Payouts based on performance against rigorous goals and using objective measures only | •Fiscal 2025 Adjusted EBIT Margin %, with 50% weighting •Fiscal 2025 Organic Revenue Growth %, with 50% weighting •Equal weighting of Adjusted EBIT Margin % and Organic Revenue Growth % incentivizes management to focus both on top-line and bottom-line growth. |
Fiscal 2025 Compensation Plan Decisions: Strong Emphasis on Performance
| Annual incentive payouts below target demonstrate Pay for Performance Alignment | •In fiscal 2025, under the annual cash incentive plan, the Compensation Committee determined that the Company’s achievement for Adjusted EBIT Margin % resulted in 96.0% funding for the metric and achievement for Organic Revenue Growth % resulted in 85.1% funding for the metric, which were both below target performance but above threshold, resulting in a calculated payout of approximately 91% of target, demonstrating the alignment between pay and performance. |

| Award | Achievement | Payout | | STI: fiscal 2025 (Incentive Compensation Plan) | Below Target | 91% Payout |
Fiscal 2025 Compensation Plan Decisions: Strong Emphasis on Performance
| •Further underscoring the pay and performance alignment, actual annual incentive payouts were based on Company financial performance with no positive subjective discretion applied to increase any NEOs’ final annual cash incentive payouts. |
Fiscal 2025 Compensation Plan Decisions: Strong Emphasis on Performance
| Peer Group: Appropriate Peer Group to Reference | •Each year, the Compensation Committee, with the assistance of its independent compensation consultant, reviews the peer group of comparable companies to use as a reference point in connection with executive compensation decisions. •In determining the peer group, the criteria of competitors for talent, revenues and headcount are given more weight in the Compensation Committee’s determination than market capitalization, in part because of the view that DXC’s stock price is somewhat depressed and thus market capitalization is not as significant a factor. |
Pay Outcomes Demonstrate Pay for Performance Alignment: Realized Pay
Pay Outcomes Demonstrate Pay for Performance Alignment: Realized Pay A substantial proportion of our CEO’s pay is performance-based and at-risk. If the Company does not meet performance targets and/or our stock price decreases (or, conversely, if goals are achieved and/or our stock price increases), the value of our CEO’s pay is affected, underscoring the pay for performance nature of our executive compensation program. To illustrate this alignment of pay outcomes with performance, the chart below contrasts the amounts reported in the Summary Compensation Table under SEC reporting rules, which uses the accounting grant date fair value of equity grants, with the amounts of CEO compensation that were realized (actual compensation) during a fiscal year. At the end of fiscal 2025, the total cumulative fiscal 2023 (prior CEO Mr. Salvino), fiscal 2024 (Mr. Fernandez), and fiscal 2025 (Mr. Fernandez) actual realized value of our CEO’s pay was approximately 45% of the total cumulative reported value (shown in the chart below). This not only provides a meaningful demonstration of the pay for performance alignment of DXC’s executive compensation program, but the line representing Cumulative TSR also shows the strong alignment of our CEO’s realized pay with our stock price performance and the experience of our stockholders. The chart below displays the following amounts: Summary Compensation Table reported amounts are the sum of the following: (1) actual salary paid per the Summary Compensation Table; (2) actual annual incentive payout for the performance year; and (3) the accounting grant date fair values of PSUs and RSUs. Realized Pay amounts are the sum of the following: (1) actual salary paid per the Summary Compensation Table; (2) actual annual incentive payout for the performance year; and (3) the actual value of all PSUs and RSUs that vested during the fiscal year, based on the stock price on the vesting date.
Pay Outcomes Demonstrate Pay for Performance Alignment: Realized Pay
Cumulative TSR is calculated based on DXC Technology’s stock price on the last trading day of fiscal 2025 in comparison to the Company stock price on the last trading day of fiscal 2022 and assumes an initial investment of $100 on the last trading day of fiscal 2022, plus any reinvested dividends. *As disclosed in DXC’s fiscal 2024 Proxy Statement, all elements of Mr. Fernandez’s fiscal 2024 compensation were per the arrangements established in connection with his role as Interim President and Chief Executive Officer, which included CEO Monthly RSUs that were 100% vested on the grant date, with settlement in full on the one-year anniversary of the grant date. Consistent with the disclosure in the fiscal 2024 Proxy Statement, Mr. Fernandez’s CEO Monthly RSUs are included as realized pay based on the actual value that vested in fiscal 2024.
Key Leadership Retention
Key Leadership Retention In 2025, the Board and Compensation Committee, in consultation with an independent compensation consultant and independent legal counsel, undertook a comprehensive review of the compensation arrangements of Mr. Fernandez and Mr. Del Bene. In designing an updated compensation framework intended to ensure the retention of Mr. Fernandez and Mr. Del Bene while maintaining DXC’s commitment to our pay-for-performance philosophy for executive compensation, the Board and the Compensation Committee considered, among other things, the objectives of: •Retaining Mr. Fernandez’s and Mr. Del Bene’s continued leadership of DXC for at least an additional three years, in light of the competitive external hiring market; •Incentivizing Mr. Fernandez and Mr. Del Bene to advance the long-term success of the Company’s business through the achievement of key financial performance metrics; and •Further aligning the interests of Mr. Fernandez and Mr. Del Bene with those of the Company’s stockholders. After extensive review, the Board and the Compensation Committee determined to make certain changes to Mr. Fernandez and Mr. Del Bene’s compensation packages, which include: (i) an extension of the specified term of Mr. Fernandez’s Employment Agreement by three years to March 31, 2028, (ii) increases to each executive’s annual base salary and target annual bonus opportunity to ensure cash compensation remains appropriate and competitive; and (iii) front-loaded equity grants, intended to replace annual equity awards for the next three years to each executive, comprised of 85% PSUs and 15% RSUs, with each award eligible to vest over a period of three years. These equity awards are intended to accelerate the ownership of Company equity by each executive and significantly align their interests with those of our shareholders. Further, a significant portion of the awards are “at risk” and based on performance goals that are critical to the long-term success of the Company.
Key Leadership Retention
Fiscal 2026 CEO and CFO Equity Awards In fiscal 2026, effective as of May 16, 2025, the Board granted front-loaded equity awards intended to replace annual equity awards for the next three years to Mr. Fernandez and Mr. Del Bene, comprised of 85% PSUs and 15% RSUs (the “Equity Awards”). The Equity Awards are intended to be in lieu of any annual equity awards which Mr. Fernandez or Mr. Del Bene would have otherwise been granted with respect to the next three fiscal years as part of the Company’s annual merit process, and the Compensation Committee does not intend to issue any other equity awards to Mr. Fernandez or Mr. Del Bene in the next three fiscal years through DXC’s fiscal 2028. The number of shares subject to each such Equity Award was determined by dividing the target grant value by the average closing price of DXC stock over the three-month period ending on and including the grant date, in line with DXC’s Equity Grant Policy, and is as follows:
Key Leadership Retention
| NEO | PSUs(1) (#) | RSUs (#) | | Raul J. Fernandez | 2,282,784 | 402,844 | | Robert Del Bene | 1,050,539 | 185,389 |

Role of Management
Role of Management The Compensation Committee coordinates with the President & Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and the Chief People Officer (“CPO”), in collaboration with management and the finance and legal groups as appropriate, to design and develop the compensation program. This group supports the preparation and analysis of financial data, peer group comparisons, and other materials to assist the Compensation Committee in making and implementing its decisions. The CEO, with the assistance of the CPO, also conducts an annual review of the total compensation of each executive officer, including the NEOs (other than with respect to his own compensation). The review includes an assessment of each executive officer’s experience, performance, the performance of the executive officer’s respective business unit or function, and market pay levels within our peer group. After this review, the CEO recommends base salaries, target annual cash and long-term incentive opportunities, any payouts related to the annual cash incentive plan, and annual equity grants for the executive officers to the Compensation Committee for approval.
Role of the Independent Compensation Consultant
Role of the Independent Compensation Consultant The Compensation Committee retains Pay Governance, an independent compensation consulting firm, to advise on executive compensation matters and provide additional information regarding whether DXC’s executive compensation program is reasonable and consistent with its objectives. Pay Governance reports directly to the Compensation Committee and regularly participates in Compensation Committee meetings at the request of the Compensation Committee Chairman. During fiscal 2025, Pay Governance advised the Compensation Committee on executive compensation and governance trends; CEO and executive officer compensation; non-employee director compensation; incentive program design; selection of peer group companies; and the share usage and dilution in connection with the equity compensation plan. Pay Governance has been retained since October 2020, and the Compensation Committee has the sole authority to retain, terminate, and obtain the advice of Pay Governance at the Company’s expense. The Compensation Committee assessed the independence of Pay Governance pursuant to SEC and NYSE rules and concluded that there are no conflicts of interest that prevent them from providing independent advisory services to the Compensation Committee.

Role of the Independent Compensation Consultant
While the Compensation Committee took into consideration the review and recommendations of Pay Governance when making decisions about our executive compensation program, ultimately, the Compensation Committee made its own independent decisions in determining our executives’ compensation.
Compensation Peer Group and Peer Selection Process
Compensation Peer Group and Peer Selection Process The Compensation Committee believes that obtaining relevant market and benchmark data where we compete for talent is very important to making determinations about executive compensation. Such information provides a solid reference point for making decisions and very helpful context even though, relative to other companies, there are differences and unique aspects of the Company. The Compensation Committee takes into consideration the structure and components of, and the amounts paid under, the executive compensation programs of other, comparable peer companies, as derived from public filings and other sources, when making decisions about the structure and component mix of our executive compensation program. The Compensation Committee also considers broader industry practices and our competitors for talent. The Compensation Committee, with the assistance of its independent consultant, developed and maintained a peer group in connection with decisions made in fiscal 2025 using the following criteria: •IT and professional services industries •Revenue in the range of 1/3x to 3x the revenue of DXC •Direct competitors for talent •Organizational scope/complexity (key financial and operating measures, number of employees, and profitability) DXC operates in an industry where the market for top talent is very competitive. Accordingly, the Compensation Committee recognizes that an accurate representation of DXC’s competition for talent includes a broad number of companies across the IT services landscape. In addition, we compete for talent and hire from industry leading organizations with larger market capitalizations. While DXC’s unique position as a leading end-to-end IT services company means there are relatively few pure-play IT companies of our size that are considered direct comparators, we believe that the peer group provides DXC and the Compensation Committee with a valid set of comparators and benchmarks for the Company’s executive compensation program and governance practices. In fiscal 2025, no changes were made to the existing peer group.

Compensation Peer Group and Peer Selection Process
1.The Compensation Committee considered the revenue information that was available at the time of review, including the latest fiscal year end revenue data available for the peer group and for DXC, as of August 31, 2023. 2.Subsequent to the Compensation Committee approval of the fiscal 2025 peer group, VMware, Inc. was acquired by Broadcom Inc. in November 2023 and ceased being considered a compensation peer at that time. As disclosed in DXC’s fiscal 2024 Proxy Statement, the CEO’s fiscal 2025 total target compensation was set at approximately the 50th percentile of our executive compensation peer group. For other named executive officers, we do not formally set total compensation, or any specific element of compensation, at a specific percentile of the peer group for each position. Instead, the peer group and market data are used as a reference point to provide information on the range of competitive pay levels and current compensation practices in our industry. In addition to the selected peer group, the Compensation Committee also references general and specific industry surveys from other sources.

Total Target Direct Compensation Decisions – Predominantly in long term component: As disclosed in DXC’s fiscal 2024 Proxy Statement, when Mr. Fernandez was appointed to full-time President and Chief Executive Officer on February 1, 2024, the Compensation Committee, in consultation with Pay Governance, considered his proven experience and executive leadership and aligned his fiscal 2025 total target compensation with the prior CEO’s fiscal 2024 total target compensation, which was also aligned with the peer median total target compensation of approximately $19,000,000. In accordance with our pay for performance and stockholder alignment philosophy, the vast majority (93%) of the target total direct compensation opportunity in fiscal 2025 was variable and at-risk, with a majority (69%) being subject to rigorous short- and long-term performance conditions. Also, consistent with our pay for performance model, during fiscal 2025, the Compensation Committee increased the target total compensation of both Mr. Del Bene to approximately align his pay with the median of peer CFOs, and Mr. Drumgoole due to him assuming an expanded role in a critical business leadership position of the Company in fiscal 2025. The vast majority (100% for Mr. Del Bene and 90% for Mr. Drumgoole) of the target compensation increases were allocated to the long-term incentive component to further align compensation to stockholders’ interests. No other fiscal 2025 NEOs received any adjustments.
Annual Cash Incentive Plan
Annual Cash Incentive Plan The annual cash incentive plan for executive officers rewards NEOs for the achievement of key short- term financial and other objectives that the Compensation Committee views as important steps in the execution of our overall business strategy, with the intent ultimately of increasing stockholder value.

Financial Performance Measures
Financial Performance Measures The amount of the incentive pool, if any, under the annual cash incentive plan is based on our achievement against pre-defined targets on two financial performance metrics. The two financial performance measures, Organic Revenue Growth Percentage (“%”)1 and Adjusted EBIT Margin Percentage (“%”)2, collectively represented 100% of the target opportunity for the fiscal 2025 annual cash incentive plan. Organic Revenue Growth and Adjusted EBIT Margin are critical building blocks to achieve our key strategic goals and drive stockholder value creation, with equal weighting on top-line revenue growth and overall sustained profitability, as both closely correlate to cash generation, which is a key component of driving long-term financial success for the Company in tandem with long-term value for our stockholders. The metrics are equally weighted to reinforce that both revenue and profits are equally important in driving sustainable growth for DXC.* 1.Organic Revenue Growth %. Organic Revenue Growth % measures the year over year percentage growth in GAAP Revenue through internal organic growth without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency rates and without the impacts of acquisitions and divestitures. 2.Adjusted Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT) Margin %. Adjusted EBIT Margin, which is GAAP EBIT adjusted to exclude certain items which DXC management believes are not indicative of operating performance, including restructuring costs, amortization of acquired intangible assets, transaction, separation, and integration-related costs, merger-related indemnification, gains and losses on dispositions of businesses, pension and OPEB actuarial and settlement losses and impairment losses. *For a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures as set forth in this Proxy Statement to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, see “Appendix - Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”
Target, Threshold, and Maximum Performance Levels
Target, Threshold, and Maximum Performance Levels The Compensation Committee set the performance targets at levels that it considered rigorous and challenging, that required substantial effort to achieve, and that considered the relevant risks and degree of difficulty during our transition path to sustained growth. The Compensation Committee also took into consideration the recent disposition of businesses as part of DXC’s strategic priorities and how such dispositions may affect the relevant financial performance of the Company. In determining specific financial goals for the year, the Compensation Committee reviewed the annual operating plan, various factors related to the achievability of budgeted goals, including the risks associated with various macroeconomic factors, and performance relative to prior years. The Compensation Committee set the threshold level such that significant performance as a percent of the target opportunity would need to be attained (90% for Adjusted EBIT Margin % and 95% for Organic Revenue Growth %, respectively) and set the maximum level at 105% for Organic Revenue Growth % and 110% for Adjusted EBIT Margin %, respectively, to underscore the importance of achieving the targets and present a significant challenge requiring exceptionally strong performance and significant effort to achieve.
Target, Threshold, and Maximum Performance Levels
If performance for a metric is below the threshold level, then the payout will be 0% of the target payout. If we achieve 100% of target performance for a metric, the payout is 100% of target. If performance is between the threshold level and target level, or the target level and the maximum level, then the payout will be determined based on the payout graph below, providing between 50% and 200% of the target payout based on linear interpolation. If performance is above the maximum level, the maximum payout of 200% of target will be earned for that metric. After the end of fiscal 2025, the Compensation Committee determined achievement with respect to each of the financial metrics and corresponding pool funding, independently.
Individual Performance Modifier & Business Performance Allocation of Pool Funding
| Pool Funding | | Target Bonus | | Individual Performance Modifier | | Individual Payout |
Target Opportunities
Target Opportunities The Compensation Committee determines the target annual cash incentive opportunity available to each NEO by taking the individual’s base salary and multiplying it by the individual’s target incentive percentage. Among other factors, the target incentive percentages are determined with reference to the peer group company percentages of salary and the proportion of total direct compensation represented by the annual cash incentive.
Target Opportunities
| NEO | Fiscal 2025 Target Annual Cash Incentive Plan Opportunity as a % of Base Salary (%) | Fiscal 2025 Target Annual Cash Incentive Plan Opportunity ($) | | Raul J. Fernandez | 200% | 2,760,000 | | Robert Del Bene | 125% | 906,250 | | Howard Boville | 135% | 1,350,000 | | Christopher Drumgoole(1) | 135% | 1,068,904 | | Matthew K. Fawcett | 110% | 715,000 | | Andrew Wilson(2) | 135% | 1,046,250 | | James M. Brady(3) | 125% | 875,000 |
Target Opportunities
1.Mr. Drumgoole’s target annual cash incentive opportunity is prorated based on the May 1, 2024 effective date of his fiscal 2025 compensation increase. 2.Mr. Wilson left DXC during fiscal 2024 (August 2024). 3.Mr. Brady left DXC during fiscal 2024 (November 2024). For fiscal 2025, the Compensation Committee determined to increase Mr. Drumgoole’s target annual cash incentive opportunity as a percentage of base salary by 10 percentage points due to him assuming an expanded role in a critical business leadership position in fiscal 2025. For the other NEOs, the Compensation Committee determined not to change any of the target annual cash incentive percentages in fiscal 2025. As part of its retention strategy, effective April 1, 2025 (the first day of DXC’s fiscal 2026), the Compensation Committee also approved increases to Mr. Fernandez’s target annual cash incentive opportunity from 200% of base salary to 250% of base salary and to Mr. Del Bene’s target annual cash incentive opportunity from 125% of base salary to 135% of base salary, respectively.
Performance Factor Based on Actions of the NEOs & Business Performance Allocation of Pool Funding
Performance Factor Based on Actions of the NEOs & Business Performance Allocation of Pool Funding During fiscal 2025, our highest priority was to work together as one team to execute DXC’s business strategy. As a result, the Compensation Committee and the CEO determined to evaluate the NEOs collectively as one. As such, for fiscal 2025, the subjective individual performance modifier was not used for the NEOs. However, in accordance with the approved fiscal 2025 annual cash incentive plan design, the funded amounts of the fiscal 2025 target annual cash incentives of our NEO business leaders, Mr. Boville and Mr. Drumgoole, were modified based on the financial performance against pre-set goals for their respective business offerings.
Payout Determination
Payout Determination The Compensation Committee verified achievement of financial metrics relative to the targets to determine the respective performance levels. The total payout under our annual cash incentive plan for each NEO for fiscal 2025 is reflected in the table below.

Long-Term Incentives
Long-Term Incentives The third main component of our executive compensation program is long-term incentives delivered in the form of equity. Consistent with our pay for performance philosophy, this component is also the largest component of executive total pay. Long-term incentive equity awards are prospective in nature and intended to tie a substantial portion of an executive’s pay to creating long-term stockholder value. The Compensation Committee, based on recommendations from management and its compensation consultant, structured the long-term incentive opportunity for the NEOs to motivate executive officers to achieve multi-year strategic goals and deliver sustained long-term value to stockholders, and to reward them for doing so. The use of equity as the vehicle for long-term incentives creates a strong link between performance and payouts, and a strong alignment between the interests of executive officers and our stockholders. Multi-year vesting improves retention because it gives executives an incentive to stay with the Company throughout the vesting period and be actively engaged in driving strong financial results. Finally, stock-based grants create an ownership mindset by giving executives an equity stake in the business, which gives them a strong incentive to manage the Company with the long-term perspective of an owner.
Equity Vehicles and Mix for Annual Grants
Equity Vehicles and Mix for Annual Grants The Compensation Committee determined to use the same PSU performance components for the fiscal 2025-2027 cycle as were used in the prior two fiscal years, but adjusted from being equally weighted metrics in the prior fiscal years to a 100% weighted FCF metric and a +/- 20% rTSR modifier measured over a three-year period. The Compensation Committee believes these components best align executive pay with stockholder value creation as well as business operations.

*rTSR is defined as the Company’s Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) for the fiscal 2025 PSU performance period (4/1/2024 - 3/31/2027), in relation to the TSRs of the companies that are members of the comparison peer group described below. TSR means the difference between (i) the average price of a share of the relevant company’s stock during the 20 trading days immediately preceding and including the start date of the performance period and (ii) the average price of a share of the same company’s stock during the last 20 trading days of the performance period, plus the value of gross dividends paid as if reinvested in the relevant company’s stock on the ex-dividend date and other appropriate adjustments for such events as stock splits.

Based on objective criteria to identify business and capital-market competitors that avoids self-selection, the 14 relative TSR comparison companies selected for the fiscal 2025 PSUs are composed of U.S. S&P companies with annual revenues greater than or equal to $2,000,000,000 in the following designated service sectors of (1) IT Consulting & Other Services and (2) Data Processing & Outsourced Services. These comparison companies were reviewed and approved by the Compensation Committee. The group of companies is partially different than the fiscal 2025 compensation peer group identified under “Compensation Peer Group and Peer Selection Process” above:

Stockholder feedback continues to reflect support and encouragement for use of these PSU components. The time-based RSUs are complementary to performance-based PSUs because they provide strong retention value, help balance periods of stock price volatility, and reinforce an ownership culture and commitment to creating stockholder value. The PSUs granted to the NEOs represent the opportunity to earn shares at the end of the three-year performance cycle based on a 100% cumulative FCF weighted metric and +/-20% rTSR modifier for the performance period of fiscal 2025-2027. The PSUs, if any, will vest after the end of the three-year performance period. The vesting for the PSUs range from 0% to 200% of the target number of shares of the grant, inclusive of the +/-20% rTSR modifier, and the rTSR modifier will be capped at 0% for negative TSR. Since this is a three-year cliff plan, the actual value received by NEOs will be based on the stock price at the time of vesting after the three-year performance period ends. Moreover, the vested shares are also subject to significant shareholding requirements, including 7x salary for the CEO.
Target Opportunities
Target Opportunities The Compensation Committee established target long-term incentive opportunities for each of the NEOs, considering the following: •The values of, allocations to, and proportion of total compensation represented by the long-term incentive opportunities at the peer group companies •Individual performance and criticality of, and expected future, contributions of the NEO •Time in role, skills, and level of experience •Retention considerations The Compensation Committee determined the aggregate target value of the long-term incentive equity grants, and then allocated the target value 70%/60% PSUs and 30%/40% RSUs for the CEO and other NEOs, respectively. The 70% allocation to PSUs for the CEO underscores the significant emphasis on performance-based equity.

Target Opportunities
*Mr. Fernandez’s Target LTI % is rounded to the nearest whole percentage number. 1.Mr. Wilson and Mr. Brady both left DXC during fiscal 2025 and their entire respective fiscal 2025 annual equity grants were canceled. In line with DXC’s Equity Grant Policy, the number of PSUs and RSUs granted was calculated by dividing the target dollar amount of each award by the average closing price of DXC stock for the three-month period ending on the grant date. This approach reduces the impact that positive or negative swings in our stock price can have on the executive’s award size. The grant value that appears in the Summary Compensation Table will be different than the executive’s target value set forth below because it is calculated by multiplying the number of target PSUs and RSUs granted by the grant date fair value, which is determined using a Monte Carlo valuation for the PSUs and is determined using the closing price on the date of grant for the RSUs. The actual amount realized will depend on financial and relative stock price performance over the three-year performance period.
Vesting of Fiscal 2023 PSUs
Vesting of Fiscal 2023 PSUs In fiscal 2023, the Compensation Committee granted PSUs with performance-based vesting requirements for the three-year performance period of fiscal 2023-2025. The PSUs granted to the NEOs represented the opportunity to earn shares at the end of the three-year performance cycle based 50% on cumulative Free Cash Flow (“FCF”) performance and 50% on relative Total Shareholder Return (“rTSR”). For the 50% FCF metric, the NEOs earned PSUs based on the three-year cumulative FCF performance as compared to FCF pre-set targets. For the 50% rTSR metric, the NEOs earned PSUs based on the three-year rTSR performance as compared to a custom peer group. The FCF performance levels set by the Compensation Committee reflected rigorous cumulative three-year growth rates, as compared to the most recent completed fiscal year FCF performance (fiscal 2022) at the time of the fiscal 2023 PSUs grant date in May 2022, which was used as a baseline and then combined with the cumulative total of the two most recent completed fiscal year FCF performances (fiscal 2021-2022) to establish a 3-year cumulative FCF performance comparison of $834,000,000 in setting the target growth rates. More specifically, the FCF target performance level of $1,360,000,000 required an approximate cumulative growth rate of a rigorous 63.1% over the three-year comparator performance period. The threshold performance level of $1,230,000,000 required approximately a 47.5% total cumulative growth rate. Below that there is no payout. PSU payouts based on the 50% FCF metric ranged from 0% to 200% of one-half of the target number of shares of the fiscal 2023 PSU grant, with the 200% vesting maximum performance level of $1,500,000,000 representing a cumulative growth rate of approximately 79.9%.

Vesting of Fiscal 2023 PSUs
After the end of the three-year period, the Compensation Committee determined that based on the cumulative FCF performance of $2,180,000,000, the 50% portion of the fiscal 2023 PSUs based on the performance of the FCF metric earned at 200% of target, with an achieved cumulative FCF growth rate of approximately 161.4%, as compared to the above-noted three-year comparator cumulative FCF. For the 50% portion of the fiscal 2023 PSUs based on the rTSR metric, the three-year target performance level was set at the 50th percentile of the rTSR peer group. The threshold performance level was set at the 25th percentile of the rTSR peer group. Below that there is no payout. PSU payouts based on the 50% rTSR metric ranged from 0% to 200% of one-half of the target number of shares of the fiscal 2023 PSU grant, with the 200% vesting maximum performance level set at the 75th percentile of the rTSR peer group. DXC’s three-year TSR performance of -45.56% was compared against the custom group of peers and calculated to be at the 6th percentile of the rTSR peer group, which was below the threshold payout performance. As such, there was no payout of shares for the 50% portion of the fiscal 2023 PSUs based on the rTSR metric.* In addition, the closing stock price on the settlement date of May 21, 2025 for the fiscal 2023 PSUs was 42% of the value of the closing stock price on May 31, 2022, the grant date of the fiscal 2023 PSUs, further reflecting executive performance-based realized pay aligning with our stockholder experience over the three-year performance period. Also, our NEOs are subject to rigorous stock ownership guidelines in order to further align their interests with the long-term interests of our stockholders. Based on these performance results, the NEOs earned PSUs in respect of their fiscal 2023 PSU grants as follows:

1.Messrs. Fernandez, Del Bene, Boville, & Wilson were not employees of the Company in fiscal 2023 and did not receive fiscal 2023 PSUs. 2.Mr. Brady left DXC in fiscal 2025 and all his outstanding fiscal 2023 PSUs were canceled. * rTSR was calculated as the Company’s Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) for the fiscal 2023 PSU performance period (4/1/2022 - 3/31/2025), in relation to the TSRs of the companies that were members of the comparison peer group described below. TSR means the difference between (i) the average price of a share of the relevant company’s stock during the 20 trading days immediately preceding and including the start date of the performance period and (ii) the average price of a share of the same company’s stock during the last 20 trading days of the performance period, plus the value of gross dividends paid as if reinvested in the relevant company’s stock on the ex-dividend date and other appropriate adjustments for such events as stock splits. The fiscal 2023 rTSR peer group consisted of the eighteen companies in the S&P 500 IT Services Index as of April 1, 2022 (the start of the three-year performance period), plus a custom peer set of seven companies that were considered business or market competitors (Conduent Incorporated, Cisco Systems, Inc., Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company, Intel Corporation, Kyndryl Holdings, Inc., Unisys Corporation, and VMware, Inc.). VMware, Inc. was removed from the rTSR peer group upon its acquisition by Broadcom Inc. in November 2023.

Severance and Change of Control Compensation
Severance and Change of Control Compensation To offer competitive total compensation packages to our executive officers, align the interests of our executives with the interests of our stockholders, as well as to ensure the ongoing retention of these individuals, DXC offers certain post- employment benefits to a select group of executives, including its NEOs. Various arrangements provide for the payment of certain severance and other benefits to participants for terminations not in connection with a Change of Control (as defined below). These arrangements generally provide for the payment of severance amounts if the CEO’s or other NEOs’ employment is terminated by us without Cause, or if the CEO or certain NEOs terminate their employment for Good Reason. For such terminations, generally cash severance amounts are one times the sum of base salary and target bonus, or two times the sum of base salary plus target bonus plus a pro rata bonus for the CEO. Twelve months of Company-subsidized COBRA continuation is also provided to executives participating in DXC’s health group plan. In addition, our NEOs are entitled to certain acceleration and/or continued vesting of all or a portion of their equity awards upon certain qualifying terminations in accordance with their equity grant agreements (and, for our CEO, under his Employment Agreement). Our Change of Control Severance Plan for Senior Management and Key Employees (which covers our NEOs other than the CEO) and the CEO’s Employment Agreement (which covers the CEO) each provide for severance benefits upon “double trigger” terminations without Cause by the Company within three years after a Change of Control, or a termination by the NEOs for Good Reason within two years after a Change of Control. The amount of severance is equal to a multiple (as set forth below) of the sum of the NEO’s then-current annual base salary plus the greater of (i) the average of the three most recent annual cash incentive awards paid or determined, (ii) the target annual bonus for the year of termination, or (iii) the most recent annual bonus paid or determined prior to termination, plus a pro rata bonus for the year of termination, and health and welfare benefits. The multiple for NEOs other than the CEO is 2x, and the multiple for the CEO is 3x. Unvested time-vesting and performance-vesting restricted stock units are “double trigger” and vest only if there is a termination of employment following a Change of Control. There are no tax gross-ups on any amounts payable in connection with a Change of Control. In addition, our NEOs are entitled to certain acceleration and/or continued vesting of all or a portion of their equity awards upon certain qualifying terminations in connection with a Change of Control in accordance with their equity grant agreements (and, for our CEO, under his Employment Agreement). Additional details about these severance arrangements are provided in the “Potential Payments Upon Change of Control and Termination of Employment” section.

Equity Grant Policy
Equity Grant Policy We maintain an Equity Grant Policy and do not take material nonpublic information into account when determining the timing and terms of equity awards or for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation. Our Compensation Committee generally approves annual equity awards in the first quarter of the new fiscal year, which allows the Compensation Committee to review and consider the Company’s financial results from the prior fiscal year when making grants. Other than grants made in connection with hiring, promotions and retention, equity awards are generally granted to NEOs at the same time that equity awards are granted to all other employees who are eligible for such awards. Our long-term incentive compensation does not currently include regular stock option grants; in fiscal 2025, such compensation consisted solely of RSUs and PSUs. In accordance with the Equity Grant Policy, the number of RSUs or target number of PSUs granted is determined by dividing the target grant value by the average closing trading price of the Company’s common stock over the three-calendar month period ending on and including the grant date.

Equity Grant Policy
Proximity of any awards to an earnings announcement or other market events is coincidental. In the event material nonpublic information were to become known to the Compensation Committee before the grant of an equity award, the Compensation Committee would consider the information and use its business judgment to determine whether to delay the grant to avoid any appearance of impropriety.
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation We follow the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, or ASC Topic 718, for our stock-based compensation awards. ASC Topic 718 requires companies to calculate the grant date “fair value” of their stock-based awards using a variety of assumptions. ASC Topic 718 also requires companies to recognize the compensation cost of their stock-based awards in their income statements over the period that an employee is required to render service in exchange for the award. Grants of PSUs and RSUs under our equity incentive award plans are accounted for under ASC Topic 718. The Compensation Committee will regularly consider the accounting implications of significant compensation decisions, especially in connection with decisions that relate to our equity incentive award plans and programs. As accounting standards change, the Compensation Committee may revise certain programs to appropriately align accounting expenses of equity awards with the overall executive compensation philosophy and objectives.

Grants of Plan-Based Awards
1.The amounts shown in columns (d), (e) and (f) reflect the threshold, target and maximum amounts which could be earned under the annual cash incentive plan for fiscal 2025. Mr. Drumgoole’s amount is prorated based on the May 1, 2024 effective date of his fiscal 2025 compensation increase. Actual amounts earned for fiscal 2025 under the annual cash incentive plan are set forth in column (g) of the Summary Compensation Table. 2.The fiscal 2025 PSUs are earned and vest based 100% on cumulative Free Cash Flow (“FCF”) performance with a modifier of +/- 20% based on relative Total Shareholder Return (“rTSR”) performance, as measured over a three-year performance period. The number of PSUs that may vest ranges from 50% (threshold) to 200% (maximum), inclusive of the modifier. If the FCF performance threshold is not met, no PSUs vest. If the FCF performance threshold is met, the rTSR modifier is then applied, and settlement of any vested shares is made after the end of the third fiscal year. The Compensation Committee will make a conclusive determination as to the number of PSUs earned and vested only after the end of fiscal 2027. Vesting based on performance is generally subject to the NEO’s continued employment through the end of the third fiscal year. 3.Time-based RSUs do not have a threshold or maximum. The time-based RSUs vest one-third per year on the first three anniversaries of the grant date. 4.Messrs. Wilson and Brady both left the Company in fiscal 2025 and the entirety of their respective fiscal 2025 annual cash incentive plan opportunities, fiscal 2025 PSUs, and fiscal 2025 RSUs were canceled. 5.The amounts shown in Column (m) reflect the aggregate grant date fair values computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 for performance-vesting and service-vesting RSUs granted during the fiscal year. Pursuant to SEC rules, we present the amounts excluding the impact of estimated forfeitures.

Potential Payments Upon Change of Control and Termination of Employment
Potential Payments Upon Change of Control and Termination of Employment DXC offers certain post-employment benefits to a select group of executive officers, including the NEOs. With the exception of Mr. Fernandez, these post-employment benefits are limited to the payments and benefits provided under the Severance Plan, or individual offer letters and the terms of our equity award agreements. Mr. Fernandez did not participate in the Severance Plan, but is entitled to certain post-employment benefits under his Employment Agreement. Please refer to the “Vesting of Equity Awards” and “Employment Agreement with Mr. Fernandez” sections below for further details. The post-employment arrangements offered to our NEOs during fiscal 2025 are described below. This description and the amounts in the tables that follow reflect the terms of arrangements in effect on March 31, 2025.
Vesting of Equity Awards
Vesting of Equity Awards Upon an NEO’s qualifying termination of employment within two years following a Change of Control (as defined above), RSUs and PSUs granted by DXC provide for accelerated vesting at the greater of target or actual performance achieved as of the Change of Control. In general, a qualifying termination of employment includes termination of the executive’s employment without Cause at a time when the employee is meeting performance expectations (or, for Mr. Fernandez, pursuant to the terms of his Employment Agreement, a termination without Cause or resignation for Good Reason), or termination due to death, Disability, or Retirement (for outstanding equity awards, executive qualifies for Retirement if separation from service occurs on or after age 55 with at least 5 years of service, with the exceptions of Mr. Fernandez who, pursuant to the terms of his Employment Agreement, qualifies for Retirement if age 55 with at least 5 years of service from his election date to the Board, and Mr. Boville who, pursuant to the terms of his individual offer letter, qualifies for Retirement if age 55 with at least 3 years of service). In May 2025, in connection with the grant of the Special Equity Awards, the Compensation Committee approved the provision of two years of service credit to Mr. Del Bene for purposes of the retirement vesting provisions of his equity awards such that he will be retirement eligible on June 15, 2026. For terminations unrelated to a Change of Control, with the exception of Mr. Fernandez, DXC’s fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2024 RSU awards provide for pro-rata accelerated vesting (unless the Compensation Committee determines otherwise) upon Retirement (as defined above), other than for Cause (as defined above), and, in the case of PSUs, provided at least one year has elapsed during the performance period, then a pro-rata fraction of the award will vest after the performance period based on actual achievement. For terminations unrelated to a Change of Control, with the exception of Mr. Fernandez, DXC’s fiscal 2025 RSU awards provide for full continued vesting upon a Retirement (as defined above) one year or more after the grant date or pro-rata accelerated vesting for a Retirement (as defined above) less than one year after the grant date (unless the Compensation Committee determines otherwise), other than for Cause (as defined above). For Mr. Fernandez, for terminations unrelated to a Change of Control upon retirement, all DXC annual RSU awards with a grant date at least 12 months prior to the retirement date will remain outstanding and continue to vest according to the award agreement’s vest schedule, and, in the case of PSUs, provided at least one year has elapsed during the performance period, then the award’s target amount of shares will remain outstanding and vest after the performance period based on actual achievement. No NEO was eligible to retire under the definitions stated above, as of March 31, 2025, the last day of fiscal 2025. In addition, all annual equity awards provide for accelerated vesting upon an executive’s termination of employment due to death or permanent Disability, with vesting of annual-cycle PSUs occurring with respect to only a pro-rata fraction of the target amount (based on the executive’s service during the applicable performance period), as opposed to the full target amount. Mr. Fernandez is entitled to accelerated vesting of equity awards in certain additional circumstances as described in “Employment Agreement with Mr. Fernandez,” below. Mr. Boville, pursuant to the terms of his individual offer letter, is entitled to pro-rata accelerated vesting of all DXC RSU awards, and, in the case of PSUs, a pro rata fraction of the target award (based on service during the applicable performance period) will vest after the performance period based on actual achievement, upon a termination by DXC without Cause or a resignation from DXC for Good Reason (as each term is defined above). Upon a termination of employment not in connection with a Change of Control for any reason other than those set forth in this paragraph, all annual equity awards will be forfeited.

Potential Payments Upon Non-Change of Control Termination of Employment
1.Messrs. Del Bene, Boville, Drumgoole and Fawcett are each entitled to base salary plus target annual bonus, payable in a lump sum for a termination without Cause, and for Messrs. Boville and Drumgoole, also for a resignation for Good Reason. Mr. Fernandez is entitled to two times (base salary plus target annual bonus), payable in twenty-four monthly installments following his termination date upon a termination without Cause or for Good Reason, plus a pro rata bonus for the year of employment termination. Mr. Fernandez is also entitled to a pro rata bonus for termination due to death or Disability (but not any other cash severance payment). For purposes of this disclosure, the fiscal 2025 annual bonus paid is used as the pro rata bonuses described above. 2.Messrs. Del Bene, Boville, and Drumgoole are entitled to 12 months of Company-subsidized COBRA continuation coverage. Messrs. Fernandez and Fawcett did not participate in DXC’s group health plan in fiscal 2025. 3.DXC closing stock price of $17.05 on March 31, 2025 was used for equity values. 4.For Mr. Fernandez, upon a termination without Cause or for Good Reason, a pro rata portion (based on his service during the performance period) of regular-cycle PSUs would remain outstanding and eligible to vest at the end of the performance period, based on performance as if termination had not occurred. No value is reported in the "Performance-Vesting RSUs" column of the table above because vesting remains subject to ongoing performance conditions. As of March 31, 2025, the potential total value would be $2,925,536, which includes 0% vesting of the fiscal 2024 CEO PSUs based on performance and 50% vesting of the fiscal 2025 PSUs based on performance. In addition, a pro rata portion of Mr. Fernandez’s s regular-cycle time-based RSUs vest based on service during the vesting period. 5.For Mr. Boville, upon a termination without Cause or for Good Reason, a pro rata portion (based on his service during the performance period) of regular-cycle PSUs would remain outstanding and eligible to vest at the end of the performance period, based on performance as if termination had not occurred. No value is reported in the "Performance-Vesting RSUs" column of the table above because vesting remains subject to ongoing performance conditions. As of March 31, 2025, the potential total value would be $2,623,332, which includes 97% vesting of the fiscal 2024 PSUs based on performance and 50% vesting of the fiscal 2025 PSUs based on performance. In addition, a pro rata portion of Mr. Boville's regular-cycle time-based RSUs vest based on service during the vesting period. 6.Upon an NEO’s termination due to death or Disability, a pro rata portion of annual cycle PSUs vest at target and all service-based RSUs vest in full (without pro ration).

Fiscal 2025 CEO Pay Ratio
Fiscal 2025 CEO Pay Ratio As required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, we are disclosing the ratio of annualized total compensation of our CEO, Mr. Fernandez, to our median employee’s annual total compensation. We used the same median employee in our pay ratio calculation for fiscal 2025 as we used in fiscal 2024, as permitted under the SEC rules, because there has been no change in our employee population or compensation arrangements that we believe would significantly impact our pay ratio disclosure. The SEC’s rules for identifying the median compensated employee and calculating the pay ratio based on that employee’s annual total compensation allow companies to adopt a variety of methodologies, to apply certain exclusions and to make reasonable estimates and assumptions that reflect their employee populations and compensation practices. As a result, the pay ratio reported by other companies may not be comparable to the pay ratio reported below, as other companies have different employee populations and compensation practices and may use different methodologies, exclusions, estimates and assumptions in calculating their own pay ratios. The methodology we used to determine the required disclosure consisted of the following: •We used January 1, 2024, as the date to identify our median employee. The median employee was determined by using total taxable income, also referred to as W-2 earnings, for all U.S. employees and equivalent total taxable income for employees located outside of the United States, for the 2023 calendar year; •Annualized salaries for full-time and part-time permanent employees that were not employed for the full calendar year of 2023 were used. We did not annualize the salaries of seasonal or temporary employees; •For employees located outside of the United States, local currency compensation was converted to U.S. dollars using the Company’s standard exchange rates for fiscal 2024, which are also used for financial reporting purposes; •As permitted by the de minimis exemption under the rules, we excluded 6,357 employees in Germany (2,414), Denmark (587), New Zealand (525), Belgium (401), Switzerland (363), Ireland (333), Sweden (256), Taiwan (243), Austria (231), Saudi Arabia (228), Hong Kong (211), Norway (160), Luxembourg (112), Lithuania (81), Republic of Korea (69), Finland (65), Peru (38), Fiji (15), Qatar (15), Morocco (5), Israel (3), Georgia (1), and Kazakhstan (1) who, as a group, represented approximately 5% of our total employee population of nearly 125,600 on January 1, 2024. As a result of these exclusions, the employee population used to identify our median employee consisted of approximately 119,250 employees. In accordance with the Pay Ratio Rule, we calculated the median employee’s annual total compensation in the same manner as the CEO’s annual total compensation was calculated in the fiscal 2025 Summary Compensation Table. Our median employee, determined without the application of cost-of-living adjustments, resides in the Philippines. The annual total compensation of the median employee was $28,711. The total compensation of Mr. Fernandez, our CEO, was $16,737,748, the amount reported in the “Total” column of the Summary Compensation Table. Accordingly, the ratio of the annual total compensation of our CEO to the annual total compensation of our median employee was 583:1.

Pay versus Performance Disclosure
Pay versus Performance Disclosure This required disclosure intends to compare “Pay versus Performance” and prescribes a method to calculate Compensation Actually Paid (“CAP”) to represent pay. The CAP values shown in the table below do not reflect the compensation actually earned, realized, or received by the Principal Executive Officer (“PEO”) or the Non-PEO NEOs. In addition, while the table shows the Summary Compensation Table (“SCT”) compensation and CAP values side by side, they are not comparable. As such, the Compensation Committee did not consider the information provided in the table in structuring or determining compensation for our PEO or our Non-PEO NEOs. For a complete discussion of our executive compensation program and the Compensation Committee’s philosophy and approach to executive compensation, please refer to the CD&A section of this fiscal 2025 Proxy Statement.

4.Peer Group Total Shareholder Return is calculated based on the S&P 600 Information Technology Index, which we also utilize in the stock performance graph required by Item 201(e) of Regulation S-K included in our Annual Report for the year ended March 31, 2025. The comparison assumes $100 was invested on March 31, 2020, then tracked through the end of the listed year in the Company and in the S&P 600 Information Technology Index, respectively. Historical stock performance is not necessarily indicative of future stock performance. 5.We determined Free Cash Flow to be the most important financial performance measure used to link Company performance to Compensation Actually Paid to our PEO and Non-PEO NEOs in fiscal 2025. Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP measure that is defined as cash flow from operations less capital expenditures. For a reconciliation of Non-GAAP measures as set forth in this Proxy Statement to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, see “Appendix - Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”
