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 performance stock units with market condition was determined using the Monte Carlo model, 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. The fair value of the performance stock units without market condition was determined using 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. Fair value calculation used herein is consistent with the fair value methodology used to account for share-based payments in our financial statements.

(10) For the relevant fiscal year, represents the cumulative TSR of FIS for the measurement periods beginning on December 31, 2019 and ending on December 31 of each year 2023, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively, assuming the value of the investment in our common stock including reinvestment of dividends was $100.

(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.

(13) Company-selected Measure is the revenue metric used for the 2023 annual incentive program, which is based on GAAP revenue as well as revenue from discontinued operations, adjusted for the impact of foreign currency exchange rates. This metric is an important measure of the growth of the Company, our ability to satisfy our customers and to gain new customers, and the effectiveness of our products and solutions.

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.



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.



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.
