Item 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER
MATTERS, AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
Our common stock is traded on the NYSE under the ticker CPAY. As of December 31, 2025, there were 195 holders of record
of our common stock.
DIVIDENDS AND STOCK REPURCHASES
We currently expect to retain all future earnings, if any, for use in the operation, expansion of our business and stock
repurchases. We have never declared or paid any dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying cash dividends
to holders of our common stock in the foreseeable future. In addition, our credit agreements restrict our ability to pay dividends.
Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon, among
other factors, our results of operations, financial condition, capital requirements and covenants in our existing financing
arrangements and any future financing arrangements.
The Company's Board has approved a stock repurchase program (as updated from time to time, the "Program"), originally
announced on February 4, 2016, authorizing the Company to repurchase its common stock from time to time until December
31, 2026. On December 18, 2025, the Board authorized an increase to the aggregate size of the Program by $1.0 billion to
$10.1 billion. Since the beginning of the Program through December 31, 2025, 35,659,347 shares have been repurchased for an
aggregate purchase price of $8.6 billion, leaving the Company up to $1.5 billion of remaining authorization available under the
Program for future repurchases in shares of its common stock. There were 2,568,667 common shares totaling $0.8 billion in
2025; 4,211,818 common shares totaling $1.3 billion in 2024; and 2,597,954 common shares totaling $0.7 billion in 2023
repurchased under the Program. Repurchased shares are held as treasury stock on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Any stock repurchases may be made at times and in such amounts as deemed appropriate. The timing and amount of stock
repurchases, if any, will depend on a variety of factors including the stock price, market conditions, corporate and regulatory
requirements, and any additional constraints related to material inside information the Company may possess. Any repurchases
have been and are expected to be funded by a combination of available cash flow from the business, working capital and debt.
