Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

Our common stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "FIS." As of January 31, 2026, there were approximately 8,541 shareholders of record of our common stock.

In January 2026, the Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend of $0.44 per share beginning with the first quarter of 2026. A regular quarterly dividend of $0.44 per common share is payable on March 24, 2026, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on March 10, 2026. We currently expect to continue to pay quarterly dividends at a target payout ratio consistent with our capital allocation strategy. However, the amount, declaration and payment of future dividends is at the discretion of the Board of Directors and depends on, among other things, our investment opportunities (including potential mergers and acquisitions), results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements, future prospects, and other factors, including legal and contractual restrictions, that may be considered relevant by our Board of Directors. Additionally, the payment of cash dividends may be limited by covenants in certain debt agreements.

Item 12 of Part III contains information concerning securities authorized for issuance under our equity compensation plans.

In January 2021, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program (the "2021 Repurchase Program") under which it authorized the Company to repurchase up to 100 million shares of our common stock. In August 2024, our Board of Directors approved a separate, incremental share repurchase program (the "2024 Repurchase Program") authorizing the repurchase of up to $3.0 billion in aggregate value of shares of our common stock. The Company exhausted its 2021 Repurchase Program in the first quarter of 2025. Repurchases under the 2024 Repurchase Program are made at management's discretion from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions and through Rule 10b5-1 plans. The 2024 Repurchase Program does not have an expiration date, and may be suspended for periods, amended or discontinued at any time. The Company repurchased approximately 18 million shares for an aggregate of $1.3 billion in 2025, inclusive of repurchases completed under the 2021 Repurchase Program, under which the Company repurchased approximately 1 million shares for an aggregate of $110 million in 2025. Approximately $1.8 billion remained available for repurchase under the 2024 Repurchase Program as of December 31, 2025. Following the closing of the Issuer Solutions Acquisition, the Company temporarily paused repurchases under this program and will resume at management's discretion, taking into account our target leverage ratio.

The following table summarizes the shares repurchased by the Company under the 2024 Repurchase Program during the three-month period ended December 31, 2025, and the number of shares remaining authorized for repurchase by the Company.
