Executive Summary

Compensation Program Philosophy and Design

The primary objectives of our executive compensation program are to attract, retain, and motivate qualified individuals who are capable of leading our Company to meet its business objectives and increase overall shareholder value. To achieve these objectives, our Compensation Committee’s philosophy is to implement a total compensation program that aligns the interests of management with those of our shareholders, creates incentives for the achievement of financial performance objectives, and rewards the performance of individuals based on our overall success, without encouraging excessive risk-taking. The primary components of our executive compensation program, as we discuss in further detail in this CD&A, are base salary, annual non-equity incentive plan awards (“Cash Incentive Plan”), and annual long-term incentives that include performance and time-based equity awards (“LTIP”).

Adjusted Free Cash Flow, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income per Diluted Share and Net Debt are non-GAAP measures. Please see our Original Form 10-K Filing for a description of these measures, management’s opinion regarding the usefulness of these non-GAAP measures, along with a reconciliation to the nearest GAAP measures.

The Company’s 2020 financial performance relative to established targets was heavily impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, as the effects of government-mandated restrictions adversely impacted transaction volumes across all of our regions. The Company, however, strengthened its network by adding new partnerships with large financial institutions, retailers, and emerging financial technology companies. The Company generated strong Adjusted Free Cash Flow (as defined in the Cash Incentive Plan) of $173 million for the year, enabling strong net debt reduction.

The Company's investments in infrastructure, security, and new software have unlocked new growth opportunities and reduced the capital intensity of the business. During 2020, the Company operated at a high level, delivered significant new customer growth and expansion, and strong cash flows.

2020 Executive Compensation Highlights

Principal Pay Mix

The Compensation Committee has designed the executive compensation program to reward pay-for-performance through Company and individual performance. A large percentage of total target compensation is at risk through our annual cash incentive award and Long-Term Incentive Plan, which are linked to performance measures that drive shareholder value. The mix of target total compensation for 2020 for our CEO and the average of our other NEOs is shown below.

Performance-Based Compensation Results and Payouts

Award	2020 Payouts	Performance Link
2020 Annual Cash Incentive Award		Global Metrics resulted in a 0% payout (excluding individual performance), due to the unexpected and significant business impacts related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Because management met or exceeded the revised 2020 objectives set by the Board to stabilize, transform, and ensure the long-term success of the business, the Compensation Committee exercised its discretion to award a payout of approximately 50% of target payouts to bonus-eligible employees, including NEOs.

While neither the 2019 or 2020 LTIP Performance-based RSUs resulted in a payout for 2020 due to their three-year performance periods, the performance-based RSUs granted due to Mr. West's promotion to CEO on January 1, 2018, resulted in a 198.4% payout, upon completion of the three-year performance period. These awards were earned solely by the Company’s achievement of relative TSR objectives compared to the TSR of companies in a comparator group (companies included in the S&P 600 Index with a market capitalization between $1 billion and $5 billion as of December 29, 2017).

Shareholder Feedback and Changes to 2020 Compensation Program

We are committed to ensuring that our shareholders fully understand our executive compensation programs, including how they reward the achievement of our strategic objectives and align the interests of our Named Executive Officers with those of our shareholders. Since our

10

2020 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, we engaged with our shareholders to seek feedback on our executive compensation program and any other subjects of interest. We focused our outreach on our top 25 shareholders, who represent over 90% of our shares outstanding.

In addition to meetings management held with shareholders throughout the year representing over 80% of our shareholder base, we engaged in stewardship discussions with shareholders during the spring, in advance of our 2020 Annual Shareholders Meeting, and again between October and December 2020. During the latter shareholder engagement effort, which focused primarily on stewardship, executive compensation, social responsibility and strategy matters, we were able to engage in discussions with shareholders that accounted for approximately 40% of our shares outstanding.

These discussions generally included multiple Board members, in addition to our Chief Financial Officer, our General Counsel, our head of Human Resources, and our head of Investor Relations. Key points commonly raised or discussed with shareholders included: (1) executive compensation matters in light of COVID-19; (2) governance matters and Board composition; and (3) the Board’s role in strategy, risk, and Environmental, Social & Governance matters.

The Board is fully committed to ensuring that our long-term executive incentive plans align with shareholder interests. While over 96% of our shareholders supported our 2019 executive compensation program, we remain committed to receiving shareholder feedback on our executive compensation programs. Several shareholders commented on preferring performance measurement periods of 3+ years. Since 2019, long-term incentive plans utilize three-year plans, providing long-term alignment of management and shareholders. We use two long-term performance measures, each measured over a cumulative three-year period: 1) relative Total Shareholder Return ("TSR") and 2) Adjusted EBITDA. We believe relative TSR aligns management directly with shareholders to deliver long-term shareholder value. While we also use an Adjusted EBITDA metric in our short-term plan, we believe delivering Adjusted EBITDA growth over both the short and long-term is one of the most important drivers of shareholder value and is an area over which management has a high degree of control. The Committee carefully evaluates the Company's peer group annually, looking at a range of companies in similar industries and revenues generally between one-third and four times those of the Company. The Committee also uses this process to help assess the competitiveness of total compensation for each executive officer.

Compensation Determination Process

Role of Compensation Committee, Compensation Consultant and Management

Compensation Committee

Our Compensation Committee is responsible for designing, recommending, and evaluating all compensation programs for our executive officers (including each of the Named Executive Officers) as well as oversight for other broad-based employee benefits programs. Our Compensation Committee receives information and advice from third-party compensation consultants as well as from our human resources department and management to assist in making decisions regarding compensation matters.

Compensation Consultant

Our Compensation Committee has sole authority to retain and terminate the services of a compensation consultant who reports to our Compensation Committee. The role of the compensation consultant is to advise our Compensation Committee in its oversight role, advise management in the executive compensation design process, and provide independent compensation data and analysis to facilitate the annual review of our compensation programs. The compensation consultant attends Compensation Committee meetings as requested by our Compensation Committee.

Our Compensation Committee has retained Meridian Compensation Partners, LLC (“Meridian”) as its independent advisor. Meridian is an independent compensation consulting firm and does not provide any other services to us outside of matters on executive officer and director compensation and related corporate governance. Meridian reports directly to our Compensation Committee, which is the sole party responsible for determining the scope of services performed by Meridian and the directions given to Meridian regarding the performance of such services. Meridian is not given a specific list of instructions, but rather is engaged in providing our Compensation Committee with information and advice that might assist our Compensation Committee in performing its duties. During 2020, the services provided by Meridian included:

•updating our Compensation Committee on regulatory changes affecting our compensation program;

•providing information on market trends, practices, and other data;

•giving guidance on CEO compensation;

•reviewing our Peer Group (as defined in “Factors Considered in Setting Executive Pay — Peer Company Compensation Analysis”) and conducted a competitive analysis of compensation for our Named Executive Officers and our Board;

•assisting in reviewing and designing program elements; and

•providing overall guidance and advice about the efficacy of each component of our compensation program and its fit within our Compensation Committee’s developing compensation philosophy.

Meridian provides valuable guidance and resources for our Compensation Committee in identifying compensation trends and determining competitive compensation packages for our executives. Our Compensation Committee considers, but is not required to follow, any particular advice or recommendations that Meridian may provide.

11

Our Compensation Committee considered the independence of Meridian in light of SEC rules and NASDAQ listing standards, including the following factors: (i) other services provided to us by the consultant; (ii) fees paid by us as a percentage of the consulting firm’s total revenue; (iii) policies or procedures maintained by the consulting firm that are designed to prevent a conflict of interest; (iv) any business or personal relationships between the individual consultants involved in the engagement and a member of our Compensation Committee; (v) any company shares owned by the individual consultants involved in the engagement; and (vi) any business or personal relationships between our executive officers and the consulting firm or the individual consultants involved in the engagement. Our Compensation Committee discussed these considerations, among other things, and concluded that the work of Meridian did not raise any conflicts of interest.

Role of the Chief Executive Officer in Executive Compensation Decisions

Our CEO works very closely with our Compensation Committee, other than with respect to his own compensation. Our CEO sets our strategic direction and strives to promote compensation programs that motivate employee behavior, consistent with our strategic objectives and corporate values. Under the direction of our Compensation Committee, and in coordination with the compensation consultant, our CEO coordinates the annual review of the compensation programs for the executive officers. This review includes an evaluation of each officer’s historical pay and career development, individual and corporate performance, competitive practices and trends, and various compensation-related issues. Based on the results of this review, our CEO makes recommendations to our Compensation Committee regarding each element of compensation for each of the executive officers, other than himself. Our CEO also provides our Compensation Committee with his evaluation of the performance of each executive officer other than himself during the prior year for their consideration for determining actual payouts. Our Compensation Committee also meets in executive session, independently of the CEO and other members of senior management, to review not only compensation issues related to the CEO, but those of all Named Executive Officers and other executive officers. Other than the CEO, none of our other Named Executive Officers provide direct recommendations to our Compensation Committee or participate in the executive compensation setting process; however, our Chief Human Resources Officer and Chief Financial Officer provide information and recommendations to our Compensation Committee when it reviews and sets incentive performance goals.

Factors Considered in Setting Executive Pay

Tally Sheets

Our Compensation Committee reviews “tally sheets” for the CEO and the CFO, which are prepared by management and reviewed by Meridian. The tally sheets contain information related to prior years’ compensation, outstanding equity awards (both vested and unvested) and various termination scenarios. The tally sheets enable our Compensation Committee to review and evaluate various components of the executive pay programs, understand the magnitude of potential payouts as a result of certain employment terminations, and consider changes to our plans and programs in light of emerging trends.

Other Factors

In determining the level of total compensation to be set for each compensation component, our Compensation Committee considers a number of factors, including market competitiveness analysis of our compensation levels compared with those paid by comparable companies, our most recent annual performance, each individual Named Executive Officer’s performance, the desire to generally maintain internal equity and consistency among our executive officers, tally sheets (as discussed above), and any other considerations that our Compensation Committee deems to be relevant. While our Compensation Committee reviews the total compensation package we provide to each of our Named Executive Officers, our Board and our Compensation Committee view each element of our compensation program as distinct elements, each serving a specific purpose. In other words, a significant amount of compensation paid to an executive for one element will not necessarily cause us to reduce another element of the executive’s compensation. Accordingly, we have not adopted any formal or informal policy for allocating compensation between long-term and short-term, between cash and non-cash, or among the different forms of non-cash compensation.

Peer Company Compensation Analysis

To help assess the competitiveness of total compensation for each NEO, and as a reference point for 2020 pay decisions, the Compensation Committee analyzed executive compensation data from the following two sources: (i) publicly available proxy statements of companies selected as peer companies (the “Peer Group”), and (ii) the proprietary Equilar database (the “Equilar Peer Group”). For purposes of review, the Compensation Committee utilized data from the Peer Group as the primary data source to assess the competitive positioning for the CEO and CFO target compensation. Given the limited data available from proxy statements for our Named Executive Officers other than CEO and CFO, the Compensation Committee utilized data from the Equilar Peer Group as the primary data source to assess competitive positioning for the other Named Executive Officers. Data from the Equilar Peer Group was used as a secondary data source for the CEO and CFO positions.

The companies in the Peer Group and the Equilar Peer Group, identified in the tables below, were approved by the Compensation Committee following a review of companies, prepared by Meridian, that had revenues generally between one-third and four times those of the Company, and were within similar industries as the Company based on select General Industry Classification Standard (“GICS”) codes. In addition to the revenue and industry criteria, the Committee also considered market capitalization, companies with a technology services focus, and companies with which we compete for executive talent. The Equilar Peer Group is limited by the number of participating companies that submit compensation data to the Equilar database. Therefore, even though similar GICS codes and revenue parameters were used to filter the companies in the Equilar database, only a limited number of Peer Group companies participated in the Equilar database. Certain companies

12

have subsequently merged with others or become private companies. Their most recent available compensation data was still utilized if considered current and accurate.

    Proxy Peer Group

ACI Worldwide, Inc.	Jack Henry & Associates, Inc.
Diebold Nixdorf, Incorporated	MoneyGram International, Inc.
Euronet Worldwide, Inc.	NCR Corporation
Everi Holdings Inc.	The Brink's Company
Fair Isaac Corporation	The Western Union Company
FleetCor Technologies, Inc.	USA Technologies, Inc.
Green Dot Corporation	WEX Inc.

    Equilar Peer Group

Black Knight, Inc.	NCR Corporation
Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc.	Paychex, Inc.
CoreLogic, Inc.	Pegasystems, Inc.
Diebold Nixdorf, Incorporated	The Western Union Company
Genpact Limited	TTEC Holdings, Inc.
Manhattan Associates, Inc.	Tyler Technologies, Inc.
MoneyGram International, Inc.	WEX, Inc.

Our Compensation Committee also believes that using the Peer Group provides meaningful reference points for competitive design practices, types of equity awards used, and equity usage levels for the Named Executive Officers. Our Compensation Committee’s goal is to provide a target total compensation package that is competitive with prevailing practices in our industry and within the peer groups, as described above.

Our Compensation Committee does not react to or structure our compensation programs on market data alone, and it has not historically utilized any true “benchmarking” techniques when making compensation decisions. Furthermore, our Compensation Committee did not use the peer groups to establish a particular range of compensation for any element of pay in 2020. Instead, the peer group market data was used as general guidelines in our Compensation Committee’s deliberations.

Goal Setting Process

When establishing the appropriate threshold, target and maximum performance levels for the performance measures, the Compensation Committee typically sets the target level based on a number of factors, including the Board-approved operating plan for the year, as well as reference to industry dynamics and prior performance results. The Compensation Committee’s goal for each financial performance measure is to establish a target level of performance that we are not certain to attain, so that achieving or exceeding the target level requires significant effort by our executive officers. Once the target levels are set, our Compensation Committee establishes the threshold and maximum amounts. Taking a variety of business factors into account, our Compensation Committee sets the threshold at what it considers to be the lowest level of acceptable performance and the maximum at what our Compensation Committee views would be outstanding performance versus target and operating plan.

For 2020, the Compensation Committee established relative TSR and Adjusted EBITDA as equally weighted metrics for the LTIP based on a cumulative three-year performance period. For the Company’s 2020 Cash Incentive Plan, the Company established targets for Revenues, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted Free Cash Flow, measured over a one-year performance period.

The Compensation Committee evaluated several factors when setting performance-based award targets for 2020. Having recently repositioned the business to enhance focus on organic growth, the Committee felt that it was important to structure the 2020 LTIP and Cash Incentive Plan so that payouts at target required organic revenue and profit growth. Additionally, in the case of the LTIP, this growth is required over a multi-year period. In setting the performance metrics for both the Cash Incentive Plan and the LTIP for 2020, the Compensation Committee took into account various factors that would have an impact on the Company’s performance. To achieve target level performance in 2020 on the Cash Incentive Plan, constant currency revenue growth of 3% was required for Revenues and growth of 9% was required for Adjusted EBITDA. Among other factors, the setting of these targets was informed by continued negative revenue pressure from the Company’s second-largest operation, its U.K. business, which has been impacted by recent reductions in the interchange rate earned on a majority of the Company’s revenues in that market. This U.K. market headwind was expected to be more than offset by growth expectations, particularly with financial institutions in the U.S., and continued expansion in Germany, Spain, and South Africa. The 2020 LTIP targets were established to require significant growth in cumulative Adjusted EBITDA over a three-year period. Additionally, consistent

13

with the 2019 LTIP, relative TSR was included as an additional performance metric. To achieve target-level payment on the relative TSR measure, the Company must perform at the 55th percentile level for select Companies in the S&P 600. Achievement on the relative TSR metric will be measured as of the end of 2022.

The Compensation Committee believes these metrics have properly balanced a long-term focus for executive management with the short-term execution that will be required to deliver durable performance over time.

Risk Assessment Related to Our Compensation Structure

We have reviewed our compensation policies and practices for all employees, including executive officers, and determined that our compensation policies, practices, and programs are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. Moreover, we believe that several design features of our compensation programs and policies reduce the likelihood of excessive risk-taking.

•The program design provides a balanced mix of cash and equity, annual and long-term incentives, and performance metrics.

•Our 2020 Cash Incentive Plan has a cap of 200% of the target.

•The performance-based RSUs under our 2020 LTIP have a cap of 200% of the target.

•Our 2020 Cash Incentive Plan and the performance-based portion of our 2020 LTIP under our Fourth Amended and Restated 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2007 Plan") are subject to our Clawback policy.

•Our executive officers and directors are subject to our Insider Trading Policy, which prohibits hedging and pledging.

•Compliance and ethical behaviors are integral factors considered in all performance assessments.

•We set the proper ethical and moral expectations through our policies and procedures and provide various mechanisms for reporting issues.

•We maintain an internal and external audit program, which enables us to verify that our compensation policies and practices are aligned with expectations.

•We perform extensive financial analysis work before entering into new contracts or ventures, thus making it more difficult for individuals to act against our long-term interest by attempting to manipulate earnings results in the short term.

•We have determined that, for all employees, our compensation programs do not encourage excessive risk and instead encourage behaviors that support sustainable value creation.

Elements of Total Compensation

Principal Elements of Total Compensation

Base Salary

In its review of the base salary of each of our Named Executive Officers for 2020, our Compensation Committee generally considered the market data available for the aforementioned peer groups, as applicable. Our Compensation Committee evaluated the results of the market data available and the performance of the executive. It made adjustments to the base salaries of certain Named Executive Officers, as deemed necessary, based on the various factors identified above under “Other Factors.”

The following table reflects annualized base salary amounts for our 2020 Named Executive Officers for 2020 and 2019:

Named Executive Officer	2020 Annualized Base Salary	2019 Annualized Base Salary	Percentage Increase
Edward H. West	$750,000	$750,000	—%
Gary W. Ferrera	$566,500	$550,000	3.0%
Dan Antilley	$437,750	$425,000	3.0%
Carter Hunt	$425,000	—	N/A
Stuart Mackinnon	$412,000	$400,000	3.0%

All Named Executive Officers received a temporary salary reduction from April 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020 of 20%, except for Mr. West, who received a 40% temporary salary reduction for that same period, in response to business pressures due to the pandemic. These temporary salary reductions are not reflected in the table above. In line with benchmarking data, Mr. Ferrera, Antilley, and Mackinnon's salaries increased on July 1, contemporaneous with the lifting of salary reductions for all employees.

Cash Incentive Plan

Each year, our Compensation Committee reviews and approves the Cash Incentive Plan. Under the Cash Incentive Plan, the Compensation Committee sets the threshold, target, and maximum payouts for each of our Named Executive Officers. These are dependent on the payouts at each level for each performance metric, which can vary by Named Executive Officer.

Performance below the threshold for a metric generally results in no incentive payout for that metric. See further details below under "2020 Cash Incentive Plan Performance Levels". For the 2020 Cash Incentive Plan, if each performance metric assigned achieved the same level, the threshold, target, and maximum annual incentive payout amounts for each Named Executive Officer would have been:

Stuart Mackinnon

(1) Mr. Hunt's payout for 2020 was guaranteed at target in his employment agreement.

Components of 2020 Cash Incentive Plan

The design of the 2020 Cash Incentive Plan included two primary components to determine whether and at what payout level a participant’s award would be achieved: (i) performance qualifiers; and (ii) performance metrics (financial performance measures and, for our Named Executive Officers other than our CEO, individual performance goals).

Component		Description
Performance Qualifiers		Absolute prerequisites that must be met before we will make any payments under the Cash Incentive Plan.	Our compliance with all material public company regulations and reporting requirements for the fiscal year, the participant’s achievement of the minimum performance standards established by his superior or our Board, and completion of required corporate and compliance training as assigned.
Performance Metrics	Financial Performance Metrics	Key metrics designated as critical to our success. Appropriate indicators of success and sustainable business performance that translate into increased shareholder value and are easily understandable and measurable.	2020 Metrics: •    Revenue(1) •    Adjusted EBITDA(2) •    Adjusted Free Cash Flow(3)
	Individual Performance Goals	Apply to our NEOs, other than our CEO, whose payout under the Cash Incentive Plan is based solely on Company performance. Intended to align the individual officers with the Company’s business strategies and objectives in each officer’s sphere of duties and control	Varied from individual to individual and include both objective and subjective measures of performance. Examples include customer satisfaction metrics, achieving customer and new customer growth objectives, implementation of programs and systems, process and control improvements, and completion of development projects.

(1) Revenue is defined as “Total Revenues” on a U.S. GAAP basis, as reported in our 2020 consolidated financial statements or as reported in the division’s financial statements, defined and reported in the same manner as in our consolidated financial statements included in our Original Form 10-K Filing.

(2) Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure calculated consistently with the definition included in our Original Form 10-K filing as adjusted for the effects of foreign currency exchange rate movements from the target metrics and other minor adjustments as called for in the Cash Incentive Plan.

(3) Adjusted Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP measure, which for incentive plan purposes is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA less payments for capital expenditures as reported in the statement of cash flows in our Original Form 10-K Filing.

2020 Cash Incentive Plan Performance Levels

    2020 Cash Incentive Plan Board Focus Areas & Management Performance

We established the 2020 Cash Incentive Plan and set the performance metrics and targeted achievement levels for our Named Executive Officers, discussed below, prior to the onset of the global COVID-19 pandemic. As a result of the unprecedented conditions across all of our markets and unexpected impacts of the pandemic, following the first quarter of 2020, we withdrew our financial outlook for the full year and shifted our goals to focus on the protection of our employees’ safety and well-being, taking care of customers, and ensuring the company’s long-term success. Our Compensation Committee and Board met with management frequently throughout 2020 and communicated ongoing business goals and objectives for management to align with our strategic goals to navigate our people and our business through the global pandemic. The Board articulated specific focus areas and objectives, identifying performance outcomes for which management was responsible, which were viewed by the Compensation Committee and the Board in three periods:

•January – February 2020 (pre-pandemic);

•March – June 2020 (dynamic pandemic); and

•July – December and Full Year 2020 (ongoing pandemic).

Accordingly, for purposes of the 2020 Cash Incentive Plan, the Board evaluated management's performance in these three time periods, each with separate and distinct performance objectives given fast-changing global circumstances:

    January – February 2020

During this early period, the Board’s core focus areas for management included meeting or exceeding planned and prior year metrics in the following areas:

•Organic Revenue Growth

•Free Cash Flow Growth

•Adjusted EBITDA Growth

•Margin Expansion

The Company met and exceeded these goals, as 2020 began with very solid results, continuing the strong performance in the second half of 2019, driven primarily by performance in the United States. Our same-store withdrawal transactions in the United States grew by 6%, resulting in Consolidated Revenue growth of 8% and EBITDA growth of 32% for the two months ended February 2020. In these first two months of 2020, Adjusted EBITDA was 1.3% above our operating plan, driven largely by organic growth, resulting in strong margin expansion.

    March – June 2020

In this period, with the onset of the global pandemic, shelter-in-place requirements in all of the regions in which we operate, and prevailing global business uncertainty, our primary focus shifted to employee safety, well-being, and engagement, as well as long-term financial stability, liquidity preservation and cost reductions. As such, the Board identified the following management focus areas and empowered management to take immediate action to ensure the long-term success of the Company:

•Implement Comprehensive Cost Reductions

•Maintain Free Cash Flow

•Preserve Balance Sheet and Liquidity

•Meet COVID-19 Revised Forecast Objectives

Management took swift, decisive, and effective action in the latter portion of the first quarter and throughout the second quarter of 2020 in response to the onset of the global pandemic, including the following key actions and results:

•Implemented cost containment actions resulting in substantial operating expense reductions

•Temporary broad-based salary reductions and employee furloughs across geographies, resulting in significant cost savings

•Preserved cash flow by reducing full year capital expenditures by nearly $50 million

•Despite historic reductions in commerce across all geographies, the Company generated $38 million of adjusted free cash flow on $47 million of Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter

•Implemented improved business data and analytics, including new daily reporting at granular level to better understand geographic variances and distribution channel impacts

•Maintained high-level availability throughout pandemic in some cases at increased costs, enabling cash access for consumers and partners in time of crisis, in spite of furloughs and salary cuts

•Expanded vault cash lines with three banks, ensuring plenty of availability

•Successful placement of $500 million term loan financing and credit facility modification, improving liquidity, extending maturity of debt, ensuring retirement of convertible notes and preserving flexibility

•Significant new customer agreements executed

•Significant growth with FinTech partners, with transactions increasing over 100% in Q2 from start of the year

•Continuous reforecast and evaluation of future business performance

•Enhanced, cross-functional focus on employee well-being, safety, and engagement during unprecedented uncertainty

16

•Expanded investor communications, including two mid-quarter performance updates in Q2 and Q3 to ensure transparency

July – December and Full Year 2020

During this period, as pandemic-related restrictions fluctuated across countries where we operate, the primary focus shifted yet again as the Company reacted to the continuing impacts of the pandemic and the underlying successes and lessons learned from the first half of the year. The Board’s focus areas for management involved positioning the Company for long-term success and enabling near- and medium-term success via the following:

•New Business Growth

•Continued Cost Management

•Improved Earnings

•Attract, Retain, and Engage Key Talent

•Meet COVID-19 Revised Forecast Objectives

•Successful Leadership of the Potential Acquisition Process

Once again, management was responsive, and effectively performed against these revised objectives, resulting in the following achievements:

•Exceeded COVID-19 revised forecast

•Despite the challenging business climate, succeeded in driving sales and new partnerships, including:

◦Added more than 35 financial institutions to the Allpoint network, including KeyBank

◦Grew bank branding by over 1,100 additional locations with 62 different partners in the U.S.

◦Significant new retail partnerships

•Deployed NeosuiteTM on ~20,000 US ATMs

•Drove reduced costs through strategic sourcing actions and NeosuiteTM deployment, enabling in-year and reduced on-going capital expenditures

•Increased employee engagement in spite of the uncertain environment, furloughs and pay reductions

•Formalized Inclusion & Diversity strategy and related initiatives

•Global engagement survey resulted in 20% increase in overall engagement scores (2019 - 2020)

•Implemented formalized Environmental, Social & Governance program under Board direction

•Successful leadership of all matters relating to the potential acquisition, resulting in definitive acquisition agreement and significant value realization for most shareholders

In sum, management met or exceeded the updated business objectives set by the Board in each of the three designated performance periods in 2020.

    Targets and Financial Performance Metrics

As discussed above, the 2020 Cash Incentive Plan targets and performance metrics were established prior to the onset of the global pandemic. Our Compensation Committee also established the relative weighting of each performance metric for each Named Executive Officer, which were established in 2020 in connection with setting the 2020 performance goals prior to the onset of the global pandemic. Mr. West’s target was comprised of 33.3% Revenue, 33.3% Adjusted EBITDA and 33.3% Adjusted Free Cash Flow, in each case for Global performance, while the other Named Executive Officers’ (other than Mr. Hunt’s) targets were 25% Revenue, 25% Adjusted EBITDA, 25% Adjusted Free Cash Flow, in each case for Global performance, and 25% individual performance. Mr. Hunt’s target bonus was split between Global and North America financial performance goals with 8.3% Revenue, 8.3% Adjusted EBITDA, 8.3% Adjusted Free Cash Flow, in each case for Global performance, and 16.7% Revenue, 16.7% Adjusted EBITDA, 16.7% Adjusted Free Cash Flow, in each case for North America performance, and 25% individual performance.

The following table provides (i) the 2020 pre-established threshold, target and maximum performance levels for each of our financial performance metrics and (ii) our performance results for each metric, as adjusted for the effects of foreign currency exchange rate movements from the target, and other minor adjustments as called for in the Cash Incentive Plan.

	Threshold	Target	Maximum	Performance Results Achieved
Performance Metric	(In thousands)
Global Revenue	$1,343,512	$1,399,492	$1,455,472	$1,099,855
Global Adjusted EBITDA	$320,869	$337,757	$364,778	$265,182
Global Adjusted Free Cash Flow	$177,981	$197,757	$229,398	$172,904
North America Revenue	$856,760	$892,459	$928,157	$763,176
North America Adjusted EBITDA	$258,670	$272,284	$294,067	$213,521
North America Adjusted Free Cash Flow	$187,006	$207,784	$241,030	$165,688

Individual Performance Goals

Grading of performance on the individual performance goals for our Named Executive Officers other than our CEO was determined as threshold, target, or maximum achievement, and was weighted for each executive based on importance. A threshold achievement resulted in no payout for that goal. The CEO provided an assessment of the achievement of these individual goals, which ranged from threshold to maximum achievement, and based on that input, and the Committee determined that each of these executives achieved their individual performance goals near or above target levels.

2020 Cash Incentive Plan Results and Payouts

Ultimately, due to the business disruption caused by the global pandemic, we did not achieve the financial targets that were initially established in the 2020 Cash Incentive Plan prior to the global pandemic. As noted above, however, management met or exceeded the revised and shifting objectives set by the Compensation Committee and the Board throughout 2020 to effectively manage and continue to transform the business to ensure its long-term success while also taking temporary salary reductions during the highly dynamic and uncertain second quarter of 2020 (20% salary reduction for executive management and most employees and 40% for the CEO). In spite of the substantial disruption caused by the global pandemic in 2020, management’s commitment and decisive actions allowed the Company to exit the year in a strong position financially and positioned for continued long-term growth. As a result, based on management’s performance against the full suite of 2020 strategic objectives discussed above, the Compensation Committee believed it was both prudent and necessary to exercise its discretion to reward management for its substantial effort and performance. Accordingly, the Committee determined to exercise its discretion provided under the 2020 Cash Incentive Plan by approving for all NEOs a payout of approximately 50% of the established 2020 Cash Incentive Plan target amounts (other than for Mr. Hunt whose payout at 100% of target was guaranteed under his employment agreement), 37.5% of which was based on Company performance and 12.5% was based on individual performance (other than for the CEO, whose payout was based entirely on Company performance), to incent them to remain and continue contributing to our success. For payout amounts, see the “Summary Compensation Table for 2020” under the “Bonus” column.

Long-Term Incentive Programs

Our Compensation Committee approves our annual LTIPs, which are subject to the terms and conditions of the 2007 Plan and formalize specific details for the equity awards granted during the year. Our Compensation Committee has the sole authority to grant awards under the respective year’s LTIP to our Section 16 officers, as defined by the SEC, and our CEO has the authority to grant a limited number of awards (based on a pool approved each year by the Compensation Committee) to other employees that are not Section 16 officers.

The type and number of awards held by each of our Named Executive Officers as of December 31, 2020 that were granted pursuant to our 2007 Plan are described below in the “Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal 2020 Year End” section.

2020 Long-Term Incentive Plan

The 2020 LTIP provided for the grant of performance-based RSUs (with a 50% weighting), time-based RSUs (with a 25% weighting), and nonqualified stock options (with a 25% weighting) to executives, including the Named Executive Officers, with the exception of Mr. West, for whom the weighting was set by the Compensation Committee at 53% performance-based RSUs, 27% time-based RSUs, and 20% Options. The performance-based RSUs are earned based on cumulative performance achievement over three years with 100% vesting following performance achievement (as described more fully below). The time-based RSUs and the stock options vest one-third after 12, 24, and 36 months from January 31st of the grant year, subject to continued service through those vesting dates. For information regarding the fair value of these awards, see the “Stock Awards” column and the related footnotes of the “Summary Compensation Table for 2020” included in “Executive Compensation Tables” below.

As noted above, performance-based RSUs are earned based on achievement of results over a three-year performance period, measuring actual 2020, 2021, and 2022 cumulative performance relative to targets established based on the 2020 long-range operating plan. Performance-based RSUs are earned based on the achievement of an Adjusted EBITDA performance metric and a relative TSR performance metric, with each metric being equally weighted. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure calculated consistently with the definition included in our Original Form 10-K filing as adjusted for the effects of foreign currency exchange rate movements from the target metrics and other minor adjustments as called for in the LTIP. Adjusted EBITDA was selected as a performance metric as we believe it is an appropriate indicator of success and sustainable business performance that translates into increased shareholder value and is easily understandable and measurable. For a reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted EBITDA and for other information concerning non-GAAP measures, see pages 60 - 64 of our Original Form 10-K Filing. Relative TSR compares the Company’s TSR over the three-year performance period, to the TSR of companies in a comparator group, consisting of companies included in the S&P 600 Index with a market capitalization between $1 billion and $5 billion as of December 31, 2019. Relative TSR was selected as a performance metric to tie a considerable portion of management’s LTIP awards to the Company’s share price performance as compared to the composite share price performance of a broad group of companies with similarly-sized market capitalizations.

If we achieve our Adjusted EBITDA and relative TSR performance levels at the threshold, target, or maximum levels of performance, then 50%, 100%, or 200% of the targeted number of performance-based RSUs will be deemed earned, respectively. If we meet the threshold for one metric, but not the other, all of the performance-based RSUs associated with the metric that did not achieve threshold performance will be

18

forfeited, resulting in a 25% overall payout. Our Compensation Committee retains the right to make certain adjustments to actual performance results, similar to the Cash Incentive Plan.

Our Compensation Committee believes that providing executives with a long-term incentive opportunity that includes both time- and performance-based equity awards is competitive and allows us to attract and retain a talented executive team. In addition to serving as a retention tool, the 2020 awards were intended to incentivize the executives to focus on achieving certain levels of Adjusted EBITDA and share price performance, and therefore also align executive and shareholder interests.

In March 2020, in addition to approving the annual share pool limit for total number of awards available to be granted, our Compensation Committee awarded the following target number of awards under the 2020 LTIP to our Named Executive Officers:

Named Executive Officer	Time-based RSUs	Performance-based RSUs	Stock Options
Edward H. West	38,580	101,044	118,974
Gary W. Ferrera	14,330	28,660	33,743
Dan Antilley	6,032	12,063	14,202
Carter Hunt	5,856	11,712	13,790
Stuart Mackinnon	5,677	11,354	13,366

The cumulative Adjusted EBITDA threshold, target, and maximum levels for the three-year performance period were set in early 2020, and will be disclosed once the three-year results for the 2020 LTIP are finalized.

For the relative TSR metric, the Committee pre-established threshold, target and maximum performance levels at the 25th, 55th, and 75th percentile of the Comparator Group. Actual results achieved will be disclosed once the three-year results for the 2020 LTIP are finalized.

As discussed above, the performance-based RSUs vest following performance achievement. The time-based RSUs and the stock options vest one-third after 12, 24, and 36 months from January 31st of the grant year, with vesting contingent upon continued employment (or set to an employee’s qualified retirement date, if earlier).

2018 CEO Promotion Performance-based RSUs

In connection with Mr. West's promotion to CEO on January 1, 2018, the Committee granted Mr. West an award of 134,989 performance-based RSUs, which were earned solely by the Company’s achievement of relative TSR objectives over the three-year performance period ending on December 31, 2020 (“CEO Promotion Performance-based RSUs”). These relative TSR objectives compared the Company’s TSR over the three-year performance period, to the TSR of companies in a comparator group, consisting of companies included in the S&P 600 Index with a market capitalization between $1 billion and $5 billion as of December 29, 2017.

	Threshold		Target		Maximum		Actual Performance
Percentile Ranking	30th Percentile		55th Percentile		75th Percentile		74.7th Percentile
Payout Percentage	50	%	100	%	200	%	198.4	%

Upon achieving the above actual performance, Mr. West earned a final amount of 267,872 performance-based RSUs, which were distributed in 2021 upon the Committee approving the actual performance.

Other Equity Awards Granted in 2020

The Committee granted Mr. Hunt a one-time award of 5,394 time-based RSUs, which vests at the rate of 25% annually, beginning on January 31, 2021, in connection with the commencement of his employment with the Company on January 16, 2020.

Other Compensation and Tax Matters

DISCRETIONARY BONUSES

19

FORM OF COMPENSATION	Cash – variable
PURPOSE / OBJECTIVE	To reward an executive for significant contributions to a Company initiative, or when the executive has performed at a level above what was expected, or for attracting new executives.
KEY FEATURES	Granted at the discretion of our Compensation Committee, discretionary bonuses are not a recurring element of our executive compensation program.
PERFORMANCE METRIC(S)	Varies, but typically relates to performance with respect to special projects that require significant time and effort on the part of the executive. Payments made from time to time upon hiring a new executive or, in conjunction with a significant relocation, are not performance-based.

HEALTH, LIFE, RETIREMENT SAVINGS AND OTHER BENEFITS

FORM OF COMPENSATION	Eligibility to participate in benefit plans generally available to our employees, including retirement, health, life insurance, and disability plans (generally fixed).
PURPOSE / OBJECTIVE	Our broad-based employee benefits programs are designed to allow us to remain competitive in the market in terms of attracting and retaining employees, and in the case of our 401(k) plan, to assist our employees in providing for their retirement.
KEY FEATURES	Under our 401(k) plan, for 2020, we matched 100% of employee contributions up to 4% of the employee’s salary. Employees immediately vest in their contributions while our matching contributions vest at a rate of 20% per year. We do not provide any supplemental retirement benefits to our Named Executive Officers.
PERFORMANCE METRIC(S)	Not performance-based

Share Ownership Guidelines

We adopted a share ownership policy (the “Ownership Policy”) for senior executives and non-employee directors in August 2018, which requires such participants to maintain a stated level of share ownership in Cardtronics in order to align the interests of our senior executives and non-employee directors with those of our shareholders. The Ownership Policy is based on market trend information regarding executive and director share ownership policies, including design approaches, types of shares counted towards ownership, the time provided to participants to meet goals, and common multiples of base salary.

The Ownership Policy applies to our shares acquired by the participants on or after June 1, 2011, or the participant’s hire date, excluding shares acquired in the open market. Under the terms of the Ownership Policy, as of December 31, 2020, participants are required to attain at least the following target levels of share ownership in accordance with the terms of the Ownership Policy:

Position	Target Ownership Level
Non-employee Directors	5x annual retainer
Chief Executive Officer	5x base salary
Chief Financial Officer	3x base salary
Other Section 16 Officers	2x base salary

Prior to attaining the above target ownership levels, a participant is prohibited from selling, gifting or otherwise transferring more than 50% of any of the shares subject to the Ownership Policy, unless those shares are tendered to us or sold in order to cover payment of (i) a stock option exercise price or (ii) any state, federal or other income tax, payroll, social security and/or social insurance tax obligations that arise in connection with such shares. If a participant wishes to sell unrestricted Covered Shares in excess of the allowable amount and is under the target ownership level, the individual must request an exception and have it approved by our Compensation Committee, who has complete discretion to allow or disallow any such sales.

Participants are not subject to a time period to attain their target ownership level, since this will be achieved through the retention of a specified percentage of equity grants each year through our incentive plans. If a participant’s base salary results in an increased ownership requirement, the participant’s equity grants will continue to be subject to the holding requirement until the new applicable target ownership level is attained. It is anticipated that actual levels of share ownership will fluctuate over time based on the change in pay rates and the value of the underlying shares. Accordingly, on a periodic basis, our Compensation Committee will review the target ownership levels to determine if any adjustments are appropriate. Furthermore, in response to unusual circumstances and in its sole discretion, our Compensation Committee may grant temporary relief or a waiver to individuals and/or categories of participants so as to permit them to sell unrestricted shares covered

20

by the Ownership Policy even if such sale results in that participant falling below his or her prescribed target ownership level. All of our Named Executive Officers are currently in compliance with the Ownership Policy.

Tax Deductibility of Compensation

In general, Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code (“Section 162(m)”) denies a federal income tax deduction to the Company group in the U.S. for compensation in excess of $1 million per year paid to certain employees (the “Covered Employees”). Covered Employees include any individual who served as the CEO or CFO at any time during the taxable year and the three other most highly compensated officers for the taxable year. Any individual who is a Covered Employee in any tax year beginning after December 31, 2016, will remain a Covered Employee for all future years.

While the Committee considers tax deductibility in developing and implementing our compensation program, the Committee also believes it is important to maintain flexibility in administering compensation programs to promote varying Company goals. Therefore, amounts paid under any of our executive compensation programs may be subject to Section 162(m) limitation on deductibility.

(1)    All Named Executive Officers received a temporary salary reduction from April 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020 of 20%, except for Mr. West, who received a 40% temporary salary reduction for that same period, in response to business pressures due to COVID-19. As a result, the 2020 amounts presented in the "Salary" column above vary from the "2020 Annualized Base Salary" column presented in the "Base Salary" section included in the "Elements of Total Compensation" section above.

(2)    Amounts represent the payout of 50% of target under the 2020 Cash Incentive Plan for all NEOs other than Mr. Hunt, who received a payout at 100% of target under his employment agreement. For a discussion of the factors considered by the Compensation Committee when determining this payout, see the “2020 Cash Incentive Plan Results and Payouts” section included in “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” above. For Mr. Hunt, the amount also includes a $115,000 sign-on bonus in connection with the commencement of his employment with the Company on January 16, 2020.

(3)    Amounts included in the “Stock Awards” column represent the aggregate grant date fair value of the awards for 2020 made to our Named Executive Officers, computed in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718, disregarding any estimates for forfeitures, based upon the assumptions in Note 4. Share-Based Compensation footnote to our Original Form 10-K Filing for the year ended December 31, 2020. A portion of the awards made to our Named Executive Officers are time-based RSUs and stock options, for which the associated expense is recognized ratably up to four and three years, respectively. For more information about the stock awards granted in 2020, see “Grants of Plan-Based Awards for 2020” below.

Additionally, a portion of the awards are performance-based RSUs that are based upon the probable outcome of certain performance conditions at the date of the grant. The grant date fair values ultimately realized by the executives upon the actual earning of the awards may be or were different from the values reflected above. Performance payout for the performance-based awards granted in 2020 has not been finalized yet, as the awards have a three-year performance period. See the “2020 Long-Term Incentive Plan” section included in “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” above for further details. The maximum value of the performance-based RSUs granted under the 2020 LTIP if the highest level of performance conditions is achieved, would be $4,725,828 for Mr. West, $1,340,428 for Mr. Ferrera, $564,182 for Mr. Antilley, $547,770 for Mr. Hunt, and $531,027 for Mr. Mackinnon, based on a 200% of target maximum, and a grant date fair value of $20.92 for the performance-based awards with an Adjusted EBITDA metric, and $25.85 for the awards with a relative TSR metric, calculated using the Monte Carlo valuation method.

(4)    Represents amounts paid to each of the Named Executive Officers under our Cash Incentive Plan in March of each following year based on the achievement of certain performance levels. For 2020, the payout is reflected in the "Bonus" column. See the “2020 Cash Incentive Plan Performance Levels” section included in “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” above for further details.

Option Exercises and Stock Vested During Fiscal Year 2020

The following table sets forth information relating to each vesting of RSUs during the year ended December 31, 2020, for each of our Named Executive Officers. No options were exercised by our Named Executive Officers during the year.

	Stock Awards

(1)    Value realized was calculated by multiplying the market value of our shares (the closing price of our shares on the applicable vesting date) by the number of units that became vested on the applicable vesting dates.

Pension Benefits

Currently, we do not offer, and, therefore, none of our Named Executive Officers participate in or have account balances in, qualified or nonqualified defined benefit plans sponsored by us. In the future, however, our Compensation Committee may elect to adopt qualified or nonqualified defined benefit plans if it determines that doing so is in our best interests (e.g., to attract and retain employees).

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation

In 2015, our Compensation Committee elected to provide our officers, directors, and other employees with nonqualified deferred compensation benefits. Under our nonqualified deferred compensation program, eligible employees (including non-employee directors) had the ability to defer eligible cash and equity compensation to a trust administered by a third party. No new deferrals were allowed under the program during 2020, and any future deferrals will be subject to the discretion of our Compensation Committee.

Further, the employment agreements with Messrs. West, Ferrera, Antilley, Hunt, and Mackinnon also contain non-compete and non-solicitation restrictions for a 24-month period, during which the executives may not: (i) directly or indirectly participate in or have significant ownership in a competing company; (ii) solicit or advise any of our employees to leave our employment; or (iii) solicit any of our customers either for his own interest or that of a third party, subject to materiality thresholds.

Potential Payments upon a Termination or Change in Control

We provide our Named Executive Officers with certain severance and change in control benefits in order to provide them with assurances against certain types of terminations. This type of protection is intended to provide the executive with a basis for keeping focus and functioning in the shareholders’ interests at all times. Our employment agreements with Messrs. West, Ferrera, Antilley, Mackinnon, and Hunt that were in effect on December 31, 2020 provide for cash severance payments based on certain terminations of employment, including for certain Named Executive Officers, additional payments or benefits in connection with a termination following a change in control.

A change in control under the employment agreements with Messrs. West, Ferrera, Antilley, Hunt, and Mackinnon may occur upon any of the following events: (i) a merger, reorganization, reincorporation, amalgamation, scheme of arrangement or consolidation involving us or the sale of all or substantially all of our assets to another entity (each, a “Reorganization”) if, in each case: (a) the holders of our equity securities immediately prior to such Reorganization no longer own immediately following such Reorganization, in substantially the same proportion, equity securities of the resulting entity that are entitled to 70% or more of the votes then eligible to be cast in the election of directors generally of the resulting entity, the transferee entity or any new direct or indirect parent entity; or (b) the members of our Board immediately prior to such Reorganization no longer constitute at least a majority of the board of directors of the resulting entity, the transferee entity or any new direct or indirect parent entity immediately after such transaction or event; (ii) our dissolution or liquidation, other than a liquidation or dissolution into any entity in which the holders of our equity securities immediately prior to such liquidation or dissolution own immediately after such liquidation or dissolution, in substantially the same proportion, equity securities of the entity into which we were liquidated or

26

dissolved that are entitled to 70% or more of the votes then eligible to be cast in the election of directors generally of such entity; (iii) when any person or entity, including a “group” as contemplated by Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act, acquires or gains ownership or control (including, without limitation, power to vote) more than 30% of the combined voting power of our outstanding equity securities, other than any entity in which the holders of our equity securities immediately prior to such acquisition own immediately after such acquisition, in substantially the same proportion as such persons owned our equity securities immediately prior to such acquisition, equity securities of the acquiring entity entitled to 70% or more of the votes then eligible to be cast in the election of directors generally of the acquiring entity; or (iv) (a) in respect of Mr. West, as a result of or in connection with a contested election of directors, the members of our Board immediately before such election cease to constitute a majority of our Board; and (b) in respect of Messrs. Ferrera, Antilley, Hunt, and Mackinnon, during any twelve month period, the members of our Board on the dates of the employment agreements of Messrs. Ferrera, Antilley, Hunt, and Mackinnon (such directors, the “Incumbents”), respectively, and such persons appointed or recommended by a majority of the Incumbents, cease, for any reason, to collectively constitute a majority of the Board.

For the purposes of the employment agreements of Messrs. West, Ferrera, Antilley, Hunt, and Mackinnon, a termination without cause means a termination of the executive’s employment other than for death, voluntary resignation, total disability, or cause (as defined in the executives' respective employment agreement).

Each of our Named Executive Officers has received equity awards grants pursuant to our 2007 Plan. The award agreements for equity awarded under the 2007 Plan and their respective employment agreements contain provisions permitting accelerated vesting of the awards upon certain termination and corporate change (as defined in the 2007 Plan) or change in control scenarios, respectively. The equity award treatment in the event of a termination of employment or a corporate change or change in control under those agreements are summarized in the table below.

The table below reflects the amount of compensation payable to our Named Executive Officers in the event of a termination of employment or a corporate change or change in control of Cardtronics as of December 31, 2020. For purposes of calculating the potential payments, we have made certain assumptions that we have determined to be reasonable and relevant to our shareholders. Upon the occurrence of any of the termination events listed, or in the event of a for-cause termination or a voluntary termination (neither of which are shown in the table below), the terminated executive would receive any base salary amount that had been earned but had not been paid at the time of termination. In the event of a without cause termination, a termination for good reason, or non-renewal of the employment agreement by the Company, in each case, including following a change in control, the executive would also be entitled to receive payment of any prior year amount earned under our Cash Incentive Plan (if not already paid) and a pro rata portion of the amount earned under our Cash Incentive Plan for the year in which the termination occurred. In the event of death or disability, the executive would also be entitled to receive payment of any prior year amount earned under our Cash Incentive Plan, if not already paid, but would not be entitled to any unpaid amount earned (or the target amount in the event such termination is within 24 months following a change in control for Messrs. Antilley, Hunt and Mackinnon) under our Cash Incentive Plan for the year in which the termination occurred. However, such amounts would not be considered “termination payments” but rather would represent compensation earned by the executive for services rendered, and we, therefore, have not reflected the amount of earned but unpaid salary and non-equity incentive compensation awards in the table below. The executives are also entitled to receive reimbursement payments for reasonable business expenses, and we have assumed that for purposes of the calculations below, all expense reimbursements were current as of December 31, 2020.

The amount of compensation payable to each applicable Named Executive Officer for each situation is listed below based on the equity award agreements and/or the employment agreements in place for each executive as of December 31, 2020. The amounts shown assume that such termination event was effective as of December 31, 2020, and that the closing price of our shares on December 31, 2020, was $35.30. The amounts below are our best estimates as to the amounts that each executive would receive upon that particular termination event; however, exact amounts that any executive would receive could only be determined upon an actual termination of employment.

Amounts set forth in the table below may differ from the estimated amounts payable to our Named Executive Officers disclosed in relation to our proposed transaction with NCR, as such amounts are based on a different set of assumptions. For more information about the estimated amounts that would be payable to our Named Executive Officers in relation to the proposed transaction with NCR, see our definitive merger proxy filed with the SEC on March 30, 2021.

(1)     Pursuant to Messrs. West and Ferrera’s employment agreements, in the event of a termination of their employment by the Company without cause, resignation by the executive for good reason or non-renewal of the employment agreement by the Company, the executive would be entitled to receive severance pay equal to two times his then-current base salary plus two times the average amount paid to him for the two preceding calendar years under our Cash Incentive Plan. Mr. West is entitled to the monthly cost of COBRA premiums multiplied by 18. In the event Mr. Ferrera elected to continue benefits coverage through our group health plan under COBRA, we would reimburse Mr. Ferrera for the COBRA premiums for up to 18 months. The amounts payable to Mr. West would be payable in a lump sum within ten days following the effective date of the release, and the amounts payable to Mr. Ferrera would be payable in semi-monthly installments over twenty-four months.

(2)    The amounts presented for RSUs represent the product of (i) the number of RSUs that would have vested as of December 31, 2020, upon the aforementioned events, and (ii) $35.30, the closing price of our shares as of December 31, 2020. The amounts presented for stock options include the product of (i) the number of stock options that would have vested as of December 31, 2020 upon the aforementioned

28

events and (ii) $35.30, the closing price of our shares as of December 31, 2020, less the exercise price for the outstanding stock options for each Named Executive Officer as shown in the "Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal 2020 Year End" table above.

(3)     Pursuant to Mr. West's employment agreement, in the event of a termination of Mr. West’s employment by the Company without cause, resignation by Mr. West for good reason or non-renewal of the employment agreement by the Company, the CEO Promotion Performance-based RSUs will vest based on actual performance obtained over a truncated performance period (the table above assumes target performance), prorated for the number of months Mr. West was employed during the performance period (other than in the event of non-renewal of the agreement), and any unvested portion of any annual LTIP grant that would have vested solely by the passage of time within the next twelve months from date of termination shall fully vest. According to the 2018 LTIP performance-based RSU award agreement, if Mr. West’s employment is terminated by the Company without cause or he resigns for a good reason, the performance-based RSUs granted in 2018 will be treated as follows: (i) if such termination is during the performance period, all such RSUs shall be forfeited and (ii) if such termination is after the performance period, any RSUs that have satisfied the performance criteria and would have become vested within twelve months from the date of termination shall vest on the date of termination. According to the 2019 and 2020 LTIP performance-based RSU award agreements, if Mr. West’s employment is terminated by the Company without cause, the performance-based RSUs granted in 2019 and 2020 will be treated as follows: (i) if such termination is within the first 12 months of the performance period, all such RSUs shall be forfeited, and (ii) if such termination is within the last 24 months of the performance period, the awards will vest based on actual performance achieved, prorated for the number of months Mr. West was employed during the performance period and shall be distributed upon approval of the achievements by the Committee.

(4)    Pursuant to the terms of Messrs. West, Ferrera, Antilley, Hunt, and Mackinnon's 2017 LTIP award agreements, their 2019 and 2020 LTIP time-based award agreements, as applicable, and Messrs. Antilley and Hunt's new hire award agreements, in the event of a corporate change, the then-outstanding RSU awards would vest 100%, if not replaced with a replacement award. Pursuant to terms of their 2019 and 2020 LTIP Performance award agreements, in the event of a corporate change, if the awards are not assumed, the then-outstanding RSU awards would vest at the greater of target and actual performance based on performance calculated at that time. The amounts included in the table above assume no replacement award is provided upon a corporate change.

    Additionally, pursuant to the terms of Messrs. West, Ferrera, Antilley, and Mackinnon's 2018 LTIP stock option award agreement, the outstanding unvested stock options shall fully vest upon a corporate change, and each outstanding stock option shall be canceled for a cash payment per share subject to the stock options equal to the excess, if any, of the corporate change value over the exercise price.

    Finally, pursuant to the terms of Messrs. West, Ferrera, Antilley, Hunt, and Mackinnon's 2019 and 2020 LTIP stock option award agreements, as applicable, in the event of a corporate change, the outstanding unvested stock options shall fully vest, if the award is not assumed or replaced with a replacement award. The amounts included in the table assume no replacement award is provided upon a corporate change. Such amounts are also included in the column titled “Termination in Connection with a Change in Control/Corporate Change.”

Terms of the 2007 Plan

Pursuant to the terms of our 2007 Plan, our Compensation Committee, at its sole discretion, may take action related to and/or make changes to stock options and the related option agreements upon the occurrence of an event that qualifies as a Corporate Change under the 2007 Plan.

30

Such actions and/or changes could include (but are not limited to): (i) acceleration of the vesting of the outstanding, non-vested options; (ii) modifications to the number and price of shares subject to the option agreements; and/or (iii) the requirement for mandatory cash out of the options (i.e., surrender by an executive of all or some of his outstanding options, whether vested or not, in return for consideration deemed adequate and appropriate based on the specific corporate change event). Our Compensation Committee also has the discretion to make changes to any awards and the related agreements under the 2007 Plan in the event of a change in our outstanding shares by reason of a recapitalization, a merger, a reorganization or other similar transaction, in order to prevent the dilution or enlargement of rights under the 2007 Plan. Such actions and/or changes, if any, may vary among plan participants. As a result of their discretionary nature, these potential changes have not been estimated and are not reflected in the above table.

Hedging

Our Insider Trading Policy prohibits our directors, executive officers, employees, and consultants from engaging in hedging or monetization transactions, whether direct or indirect, involving the Company’s securities.

Pay Ratio

As required by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship of the annual total compensation of our employees and the annual total compensation of Edward H. West, our CEO, during the year ended December 31, 2020.

To identify the median employee, we identified our employee population as of October 1, 2020, and used base salary paid during the year as our consistently applied compensation measure across our global employee population excluding our CEO.

Mr. West’s annual total compensation for 2020 was $5,336,213, as reflected in the Summary Compensation Table. The 2020 annual total compensation of our median employee, other than the CEO, calculated in the same manner as required for the Summary Compensation Table, was $61,633. As a result, Mr. West’s annual total compensation was 87 times that of our median employee in 2020.

The ratio and annual total compensation amount of the median employee are reasonable estimates that have been calculated using methodologies and assumptions permitted by SEC rules. The Company notes that its ratio and annual total compensation amount may not be directly comparable to those of other companies because the methodologies and assumptions used to identify the median employee may vary significantly among companies.

Director Compensation

The following table provides compensation information for each non-employee director who served as a member of our Board during the year ended December 31, 2020.

Director Compensation Table for 2020

Juli C. Spottiswood	$120,000	$124,516	$244,516

(1)    This column shows the grant date fair value of each RSU granted in 2020, as computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. A discussion of the assumptions used in calculating these values may be found in Note 4. Share-Based Compensation footnote, to our consolidated financial statements in our Original Form 10-K Filing. Mr. Diaz and Ms. Moore's unvested RSUs previously granted in the year were forfeited upon their resignations as members of the Board. As of December 31, 2020, Mr. Braunstein, Ms. Gardner, Mr. Jenson, Mr. Phillips, Mr. Rossi, and Ms. Spottiswood held 5,952 outstanding RSUs, Mr. Gupta held 5,789 outstanding RSUs, and Mr. Diaz and Ms. Moore held no outstanding RSUs.

(2)    Mr. Diaz resigned as a member of the Board effective May 13, 2020. The cash portion of Mr. Diaz’s director compensation is prorated based on the date of such resignation.

(3)     The cash portion of Mr. Gupta and Ms. Moore's director compensation is prorated based on the date they were appointed as members of the Board. Ms. Moore resigned as a member of the Board effective December 31, 2020.

31

Only non-employee directors receive compensation for service on our Board. The 2020 compensation paid to our non-employee directors, excluding the temporary cash retainer reduction discussed below, consisted of:

•an annual award of RSUs, valued at approximately $135,000 at the time of grant, which vests approximately 12 months from the grant date;

•an annual cash retainer of $70,000;

•a meeting fee of $10,000 for each Board meeting attended in person in the United Kingdom or other location outside of the United States, with no additional fees paid for committee or other Board meetings attended;

•an additional annual cash retainer of $85,000 for the Chair of our Board;

•an annual cash retainer of $10,000 for each committee of which the director is a member;

•an additional annual cash retainer of $10,000 for the chair of the Audit, Finance and Compensation Committee, and an additional annual cash retainer of $5,000 for the chair of our Nominating & Governance Committee; and

•reimbursement of reasonable fees related to the preparation of U.K. tax returns.

All Directors received a temporary cash retainer reduction from April 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020 of 40%, consistent with the temporary salary reduction of 40% Mr. West received for the same period, in response to business pressures due to the pandemic. These temporary cash retainer reductions are not reflected in the amounts noted above. Cash amounts are paid monthly. In addition, all of our directors are reimbursed for their reasonable expenses incurred in attending Board and committee meetings. The 2020 RSU awards to all non-employee directors were granted on March 31, 2020. These RSUs vested in full on March 9, 2021. Mr. Diaz and Ms. Moore's 2020 RSU awards were forfeited upon their resignation from the Board.

Annual Review Process and Peer Benchmarking

Director compensation is generally reviewed by the Compensation Committee on an annual basis. To assist the Committee with its review, Meridian provides competitive compensation data for the companies in the “Peer Group.” Data is provided for all elements of director pay, including annual cash retainer, Board and Committee fees (including Chair and Member retainers), annual equity awards, and Board leadership compensation. Based on its review of the data, no director pay changes were recommended for 2020.

Director Share Ownership Guidelines

In 2020, the Compensation Committee held the director shareholding requirement consistent with 2019 at five times the annual board member cash retainer amount based on consultation with Meridian relating to market benchmarks and best practices.

Based on the evaluation of all relevant transactions or relationships involving each director, or any of his or her family members, and our Company, senior management, U.S. independent registered accounting firm, and U.K. statutory auditors, the Board has affirmatively determined that all of our directors are independent under the applicable standards set forth by NASDAQ and the SEC, with the exception of Mr. West, our Chief Executive Officer. In making these independence determinations, our Nominating & Governance Committee reviewed, and presented to the Board to consider, the following relationships and transactions, which the Board found did not affect the independence of the applicable directors:
