A LETTER FROM OUR CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER


Ronald F. Clarke


Chairman &


Chief Executive Officer

My Fellow Shareholders,

Thank you for your investment in FLEETCOR.

Corpay.

Performance & Positioning

Our full year 20222023 financial performance was outstanding,reached record levels, with adjusted earnings per share up 5% to $16.92, EBITDA up 13% at nearly $2 billion, and revenue up 10% to $3.8 billion. All of $3.4 billion, up 21%these metrics set all-time records, and are further proof of the strength of our Company. We also closed several acquisitions improving our go-forward positioning around the vehicle payments and corporate payments businesses.
On March 25, 2024, we were excited to announce that we rebranded the entire Company to Corpay, which better reflects the breadth of expense management and corporate payment solutions we offer. Additionally, in 2023, we simplified the presentation of our businesses, and now report in 3 primary segments: Vehicle Payments, Corporate Payments and Lodging Payments. We believe that our new branding and reporting segments will provide better brand recognition and make it easier to evaluate our extraordinary growth and profitability.
We also introduced a series of exciting new product offerings that align with our promise – Payments Made Easy:
Corpay One. Our small and midsize business Vehicle Payments solution is an all-in-one solution that provides business cards for the owner, fuel cards for the field drivers, and virtual cards for the payment of accounts payable.
Comdata Connect Card. Our Corporate Payments solution connects Comdata truck stop fuel discounts, reporting, and a location finder to the customer’s existing business credit card. Trucking customers benefit both from the credit and rewards from their business card, and the fuel discounts and reporting of a truck stop card.
Corpay Complete. Our middle market Corporate Payments solution combines everyday business cards and fuel cards, with an AP automation all-in-one platform.
CLC Choice. Our newest Lodging Payments solution provides customers more employee-friendly travel options. Travelers can choose from virtually any hotel, any room type, and keep reward points from their favorite hotel brand.
These new products enhance our ability to deliver our mid-term objectives to annually grow revenue 10% and adjusted earnings per share of $16.10, up 22%15-20%. Both were way ahead of our expectations heading into the year. We also closed five capability acquisitions (inclusive of the cross border deal closed on January 3), and made three minority investments to strengthen our position in our Corporate Payments and EV lines of business.

Additionally, we meaningfully advanced our “beyond strategy” in 2022, extending both the product set and served customer segments in each of our major businesses. These beyond extensions increase our TAM, and better position our LOB for long term growth. Some highlights from 2022 include:

In Global Fleet, we significantly advanced our EV capabilities, and the concept of “defensive” and “offensive” EV initiatives

In Brazil, we expanded our tag fueling solution to more accepting sites and more users and we launched a new vehicle insurance offering, which enjoyed rapid acceptance

In Corporate Payments, we added AP automation workflow software to our full AP payment platform, and further scaled our cross-border footprint in Europe

In Lodging, we further expanded our two new verticals, airlines and insurance, with each reaching almost $100M in revenue

Ultimately, we believe that excellent financial performance, combined with our strategic progress will enable us to increase shareholder returns. Our mid-term objectives are to grow revenue and adjusted net income per diluted share 10% and 15-20% annually, respectively. We expect the market to reward our performance as we deliver results.

Governance & Board Oversight

We’ve made meaningful progress in 2023, refreshing and diversifying our Board by welcoming Annabelle Bexiga, Rahul Gupta and Gerry Throop. The industry and subject-matter experience they bring will be quite additive to the Company as we continue to grow and improve our competitive position. Our Board of Directors have been deeply involved in our shareholder engagement efforts, and have helped drive responsive enhancements to our practices.
We have a veryan experienced Board of Directors with a diverse set of skills and experience, including leading large, global public companies within our industry. Our directors provide valuable oversight regarding audit, compensation, governance and company strategy.

We’ve made meaningful progress in refreshing and diversifying our Board over the last year, having appointed Annabelle Bexiga and Rahul Gupta to the Board in 2023.

We’re pleased to report that women and minorities now represent 36% of the Board.

We are proud of the journey we provide our employees at all levels, and we will continue to monitor the current environment for talent, and adjust our offerings to maintain our position as an employer of choice in the payments industry.

Our values foster an inclusive culture, and we are proud of the environment that we’ve created where women represent more than one-half of our global workforce, and less than two-thirds of our domestic employees identify as White/Caucasian.

FLEETCOR Technologies, Inc. (“FLEETCOR”) is a leading global provider of digital payment solutions that enables businesses to control purchases and make payments in a smarter, simpler and better way. We serve businesses, partners, merchants, consumers and payment networks in North America, Latin America, Europe, and Asia Pacific.

Businesses spend an estimated $135 trillion each year with other businesses. In many instances, they lack the proper tools to monitor what is being purchased, and employ manual, paper-based, disparate processes and methods to both approve and make payments for their purchases. This often results in wasted time and money due to unnecessary or unauthorized spending, fraud, receipt collection, data input and consolidation, report generation, reimbursement processing, account reconciliations, employee disciplinary actions, and more.

Our wide range of modern, digitized solutions generally provides control, reporting, and automation benefits superior to many of the payment methods businesses often used such as cash, paper checks, general purpose credit cards, as well as employee pay and reclaim processes. In addition to delivering meaningful value to our customers, our solutions also share several important and attractive business model characteristics such as:

Shareholder Engagement Results

Our 20222023 shareholder outreach regarding executive compensation was a continuation of our annual comprehensive shareholder engagement plan. We have taken decisive action in recent years in response to our shareholder outreach initiatives and we believe that our compensation practices address the feedback we received. Our stockholder engagement ensured that
Since we heardmailed our Proxy Statement for the feedback2023 annual meeting, we contacted our 10 largest shareholders (excluding our CEO), and select others from the next 15 largest shareholders who voted against say-on-pay and/or against certain Directors at the 2023 annual meeting. These shareholders held approximately 64.3% of our shareholders — in addition to generous access to the management team, after we mailed the 2022 Proxy, but before the 2022 stockholder meeting, we offered the opportunity to discuss our Proxy with our top 10 stockholders ascommon shares (as of December 31, 2021.

2023). Of those we attempted to engage, 50% of those shares accepted our invitation and attended video or telephonic meetings. A majority of these
meetings were attended by the Chair of the compensation committee, and remaining meetings were attended by the Lead Independent Director, Chair of the nomination and governance committee, or Chair of the information technology and security committee. These meetings occurred periodically in 2023. During the meetings, we requested specific feedback on our 2023 say-on-pay vote and any issues shareholders had with our compensation program or our governance practices, and solicited their thoughts on how we might address these issues. Importantly, the changes to our 2023 compensation practices reflect shareholder feedback received from our 2022 say-on-pay process, some of which was similar to input provided by shareholders from our 2023 say-on-pay process. As such, our remediation efforts in response to the pay program issues raised by shareholders in both 2023 and 2024 are reflected in the table on the next page.

Based on our outreach efforts and our review of the recommendations of proxy advisory firms, the table below summarizes what we heard and how we responded in 2023 and 2024.
What we heardWhat we have done in response
Interest in the direction of CEO compensation, including metrics used for CEO’s incentive-based compensation
CEO Pay Level: CEO pay for 2023 was lower than CEO pay for 2022.

Annual Incentive Performance Metrics: Other than in the case of Ms. Vickery (who returned to her former role in early 2023), the great majority of the cash portion of all NEOs’ (including the CEO) targeted annual incentive opportunities were contingent upon the achievement of pre-established financial goals.

LTI Performance Linkages: Our CEO did not receive any long-term incentive awards in 2023. Other than in the case of Mr. Netto, the 2023 long-term incentive awards to all of our other NEOs were comprised at least 50% of performance-based long-term incentives (Performance Shares and Performance-Based RSUs). These performance-based long-term incentives were 100% contingent on the achievement of pre-established earnings per share and revenue goals. 48% of Mr. Netto’s 2023 long-term incentive target grant value was comprised of these performance-based awards.
CEO compensation structure should help ensure long-term retentionFor 2024, we have provided the CEO with long-term incentive awards that have multi-year vesting schedules.
The majority of NEO compensation should be performance-basedFor 2024, we ensured more than 50% of all NEO long-term compensation in the aggregate is performance-based. As noted above, the majority of most NEOs’ long-term incentive grant value in 2023 was similarly tied to the achievement of performance objectives.
Long-term compensation should have longer measurement periodsFor 2024, a portion of long-term compensation has a measurement period of three years.
Compensation structures should align with value creationOur long-term incentives are granted 100% in the form of equity-based awards that are settled in the form of shares. In addition, a portion of our NEOs’ targeted annual incentive opportunities are tied to the achievement of preestablished financial metrics that directly contribute to longer-term shareholder value creation. Demonstrating our commitment to aligning NEOs’ incentive earnings with shareholder value creation, in 2023, despite strong annual incentive program formulaic results, the compensation committee used negative discretion to reduce cash payouts under the annual incentive to $0 considering the totality of 2023 performance.
Compensation for NEOs should have a total shareholder return componentWe continue to believe the performance metrics we have chosen under our annual incentive and long-term incentive arrangements are directly aligned with the creation of shareholder value, and are therefore the most appropriate metrics in the near-term. We have considered the use of relative total shareholder return ("TSR"), but have found that that there are too few companies in our direct operating space that present the opportunity for reliable and statistically relevant comparisons of TSR over a three-year period. We intend to continue to review the possibility of adding relative TSR as a metric in coming years, and are receptive to doing so in the event that reliable comparisons are available.
Disclosure should provide context for why the Company selects particular performance metrics for incentive-based compensationIn direct response to shareholder input, we have substantially enhanced our disclosure of our incentive metrics in this year’s Proxy Statement. As noted throughout this Proxy Statement, a portion of our NEOs’ annual incentives and long-term incentives are tied to the achievement of the financial and operating metrics that best align with shareholder value creation.

Our Commitment to Culture, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Belonging and Sustainability

Corporate responsibility promotes the long-term interests of our shareholders and strengthens Board and management accountability. Our corporate strategy includes a focus on how environmental and social issues may impact the long-term interests of our shareholders and other stakeholders. We believe that environmentally and socially responsible operating practices are important considerations while generating value for our shareholders, being good partners with our customers by providing efficient payment solutions, and being a good employer to our employees.

We created a sustainability working group in 2020, consisting of dedicated internal resources and external advisors to address environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors that are important to our business. During 2021 and 2022, our sustainability working group continued to evaluate potential ESG risks and opportunities relevant to our Company based on the views held by our shareholders, leading ESG frameworks, and ESG rating agencies. We utilized aspects of the Sustainability Accounting Standard Board and the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures to evaluate our practices.

Human Capital

As of December 31, 2022, FLEETCOR2023, Corpay employed approximately 10,000 associates located in over 1821 countries around the world, with approximately 4,100 of those associates based in the United States. At FLEETCOR, we strongly believe that talent is a strong determinant of the Company’s performance and success.U.S. Our values-driven people programs, practices and policies have been developed to ensure we are able to attract, retain and develop the quality of talent necessary to advance our key initiatives and achieve our strategic objectives. We are firmly committed to delivering a strong employee value proposition and unique employment experience to our associates which, in turn, should lead to better customer experiences and business outcomes.

Despite Corpay’s expansive size and geographic scope, we retain a strong entrepreneurial spirit, and share a common vision, mission and set of values, which together serve as cornerstones to our “One Corpay” culture. Our core values, listed below, are infused in all aspects of Corpay, and guide our employee selection, behavior and interactions with both internal and external stakeholders. Through our relentless efforts to improve our workplace at Corpay, we have been awarded the 2022 Most Loved Workplace certificate by the Best Practices Institute.

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging

As of December 31, 2023, females represented approximately 52% of our global workforce and approximately 17% of our senior leadership team, while ethnic minorities comprised approximately 36% of our domestic workforce and approximately 17% of our senior leadership team.

Our diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging (DEIB) programs foster a culturally diverse and inclusive environment and create a true sense of belonging. Our global diversity council, three regional councils and nine employee resource groups (each, an ERG) are built to bring diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging into all aspects of our global operations. The councils and ERGs are vital to creating an environment where all employees are able to prosper. Our ERGs allow a safe space for traditionally underrepresented employees to connect and discuss experiences. The ERGs also provide Corpay with perspectives on the unique needs and lived experiences of those who are traditionally underrepresented.

Fostering a culturally diverse and inclusive environment and creating a true sense of belonging are among our top priorities. Our global diversity council, three regional councils and nine employee resource groups (each, an ERG) are dedicated to building diversity, inclusion and belonging into all aspects of our global operations. Sponsored by the Chairman of the Board and CEO, the councils and ERGs are vital to creating an environment where all employees are able to prosper. Our ERGs allow a safe space for traditionally underrepresented employees to connect and discuss experiences. The ERGs also provide FLEETCOR with perspectives on the unique needs and lived experiences of those who are traditionally underrepresented.

The executive and acquisitions committee held no meetings in 2022,2023, as all acquisitions were discussed with the full Board. The executive and acquisitions committee is responsible for addressing important Company matters, including capital expenditures, investments, acquisitions, dispositions and financing activities, that the Chairman of the Board determines should be addressed before the next scheduled meeting of the Board.

Information Technology and Security Committee

Our information technology and security committee consists of Messrs. Farrelly, Buckman, Macchia and Sloan and Ms. Bexiga, and is chaired by Mr. Farrelly. The information technology and security committee held four meetings in 2022.2023. The information technology and security committee is responsible for providing oversight and leadership for our information

technology security and cybersecurity,

planning processes, policies and objectives. In furtherance of this role, the primary purpose of the committee is to review, assess and make recommendations regarding the long-term strategy for global information security and the evolution of our technology in a competitive environment.

To accomplish this purpose, the information technology and security committee has five primary responsibilities:

understanding the security controls and assessments conducted on our major payment platforms and comparing same to industry best practices

evaluating strategies to protect our intellectual property

assessing opportunities to update our processing platform strategies to ensure the long term effective and efficient use of our resources

reviewing progress on significant IT security and cybersecurity projects and evaluating effectiveness of projects

overseeing our disaster recovery and business continuity plans

Strategic Review Committee

As described above, we entered into the Cooperation Agreement in March 2023, pursuant to which we formed an ad hoc strategic review committee. Our strategic review committee currently consists of Messrs. Clarke, Hagerty, Gupta and Sloan and Ms. Bexiga, and is chaired by Mr. Clarke. The strategic review committee is responsible for the consideration of a possible separation of one or more businesses of the Company, whether by sale, spin-off or split-off or other transaction.

Board Leadership

Our corporate governance guidelines provide that our Board will include a majority of independent directors. Our CEO serves as the Chairman of the Board and has served as such since 2003. While we believe this leadership structure has been effective, since 2020 a Lead Independent Director has served as a representative of the independent, non-employee directors of the Board and exercise additional powers and responsibilities in connection with Board meetings. The Lead Independent Director will serve a one-year term, which expires at each annual meeting of shareholders. Mr. Stull has served as Lead Independent Director since 2020, with his term ending at the annual meeting. The Board expects that, if elected at the annual meeting, Mr. Stull will be appointed to serve another term as Lead Independent Director until the 2024 annual meeting.



2023 Notice of Annual Meeting & Proxy Statement19


03. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND BOARD MATTERS

The Lead Independent Director has the following powers and responsibilities:

preside at all meetings of the Board at which the Chairman of the Board is not present

preside over executive sessions of the non-employee directors

serve as liaison between the non-employee directors and the Chairman and the CEO

call meetings of non-employee directors, with appropriate notice

coordinate with the Chairman and CEO on meeting schedules, agendas and information provided to the Board

be available for consultation with significant shareholder if so requested and

exercise and perform such other powers and duties as may be assigned to the Lead Independent Director by the Board from time to time

Our corporate governance guidelines provide that our non-management directors will meet in executive session, without management present, as frequently as they deem appropriate, and they typically meet in executive session at the time of each regular Board meeting. The Lead Independent Director presides during the meeting of independent directors, and acts as a liaison between the non-management directors and the chairman and CEO in connection with each regular meeting.

We believe that having a combined chairman and CEO, balanced with a Lead Independent Director, as well as a Board otherwise comprised solely of independent directors who meet regularly in executive session and independent chairs for the Board’s audit committee, compensation committee and governance committee and information technology and security committee provides an effective form of Board leadership and an appropriate balance between strategy development and independent oversight. The Board believes that having our CEO serve as Chairman of the Board facilitates the Board’s decision-making processes because Mr. Clarke possesses detailed and in-depth knowledge of the issues, opportunities and challenges facing the Company and its business. Accordingly, he is best positioned to develop agendas that ensure the Board’s time and attention is focused on the most critical matters. The combined role enables decisive leadership, ensures accountability and enhances our ability to communicate our message and strategy clearly and consistently to our shareholders, employees and customers.

Risk Oversight

Our Board, together with its committees, is responsible for overseeing our risk management. The chair of each committee reports to the full Board the significant risks facing the Company, Company, as identified by management, and the measures undertaken by management for controlling and mitigating those risks.

The audit committee is responsible for reviewing and approving the annual internal audit plan, our major financial and compliance risk exposures, steps taken to monitor and control such exposures, risk management and risk assessment policies, significant findings and recommendations and management’s responses. In addition, our internal audit function routinely performs audits on various aspects of operational risks and reports the results quarterly.

The compensation committee considers risks associated with our compensation policies and practices, with respect to both executive compensation and compensation generally.

The nomination and governance committee is responsible for succession planning, governance structure and processes, ESG initiatives and considerations, legal and policy matters with potential significant reputational impact and shareholder concerns.

The information technology and security committee focuses on risks associated with information technology and security, such as cybersecurity, security controls, technology initiatives and intellectual property protection. The information technology and security committee conducts reviews at least quarterly to oversee the efficacy of cybersecurity risk initiatives and related controls, policies, procedures, training, preparedness and governance structure. The Board and the information technology and security committee directed the formation of a cross-functional cybersecurity council at the Company, and receive regular cybersecurity reports from the global CIO, the corporate CIO and the chief information security officer, among others.

Our Board, with input from the various committees and senior management, regularly engages in discussing the most significant risks and how the risks are being managed. Our management team is responsible for identifying and working with the Board to manage business risk and design a risk framework, including setting boundaries and monitoring risk appetite. We believe that our leadership structure, as described above, supports the risk oversight function of the Board.

Director Independence

Our corporate governance guidelines provide that a majority of our directors will be independent. Our Board has adopted director independence guidelines to assist in determining each director’s independence. These guidelines are included in our corporate governance guidelines available on our website at https://investor.FLEETCOR.com.investor.corpay.com. The guidelines exceed the independence requirements of the NYSE. Under the director independence guidelines and NYSE rules, the Board must annually review each director’s independence and affirmatively determine a director has no relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.

The Board has analyzed the independence of each director and determined that, except for our CEO, they each meet the standards of independence under our director independence standards, and applicable NYSE listing rules, including that each member is free of any relationship that would interfere with their individual exercise of independent judgment.

20222023 Director Compensation

The non-employee members of our Board receive compensation for serving as directors. Our Board believes restricted stockequity-based awards are an appropriate formforms of
compensation for our directors because the value of the grants increases as the value of our stock price increases, aligning the interests of these directors with those of our shareholders.

Annual grants for director service for 20222023 generally had a target value at grant of approximately $300,000. The amount of these grants was determined based on our Board’s general experience with market levels of director compensation. In addition, the Board approved a cash payment in the amount of $75,000 for each independent committee Chair serving in such capacity in January 20222023 (Messrs. Farrelly, Hagerty, Macchia and Stull and Ms. Moddelmog). The decision to provide cash compensation is reviewed on an annual basis. All members of our Board are reimbursed for actual expenses incurred in connection with attendance at Board meetings. Mr. Clarke does not receive any compensation for service on our Board.

Ms. Bexiga, Mr. Gupta and Mr. Throop each received a new Board member grant of restricted stock when they joined the Board. Each such grant had a target value equal to a pro-rata portion of $300,000 (the value of the regular annual grant), plus an additional value of approximately $200,000 in recognition of their commencement of Board service. These grants generally vest at the same time as regular annual grants. For 2023, each of our directors had the ability to elect to receive a grant of restricted stock or stock options for his or her annual equity compensation award. Mr. Stull opted for his equity compensation award to be in the form of stock options, and each of the remaining non-employee directors opted for an equity compensation award in the form of restricted stock.
Our corporate governance guidelines set forth an expectation that all non-employee directors will hold at least a specified dollar amount of common shares or equity interests within five years of becoming a director. In 2019, our Board increased the stock ownership guideline from $150,000 to $1,250,000. Based on the closing stock price on December 31, 2022, eight29, 2023, six of our current non-employee directors are currently in compliance with this guideline and we expect that our threefour newest directors will meet the guideline within five years, as required by our Corporate Governance Guidelines.

Director Qualifications

The qualifications for directors are described in our corporate governance guidelines, which is available on our website.

The Boarddoes notcurrently apply any minimum qualifications or require that a director have specified qualities or skills in order to be considered for a position as a director. The Board recognizes the value of diversity among its members and the impact it can have on the performance of the Board. In addition to a director’s professional experience that will benefit our business, we seek to have a Board which represents diversity in professional experiences, viewpoints, gender, age, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, nationality and cultural background.

Our corporate governance guidelines provide that no director should serve on more than four other public company boards, unless the governance committee determines otherwise.

Directors are expected to advise the Chairman of the Board and the governance committee Chair in advance of accepting an invitation to serve on another public company board.

The Board has not limited the number of years for which a person may serve as a director or require a mandatory retirement age, because such limits could deprive us of the valuable contributions made by a director who develops, over time, significant insights into us and our operations.

The re-nomination of existing directors is not viewed as automatic,automatic, but is based on continuing qualification under the criteria stated above. In addition, the committee considers the existing directors’ performance on the Board and any committee.

(3) Corpay created three segments, including Vehicle Payments, and appointed Messrs. Netto and King to lead Vehicle Payments.
Leadership Transitions in 2023
On March 28, 2023, we appointed announced the appointment of Tom Panther as our Chief Financial Officer effective May 12,2, 2023.We expect that Ms. Vickery will continue to serve as interim Chief Financial Officer until such date, at which point she will continue in her role as Chief Accounting Officer.

Leadership Transitions in 2022

On March 1, 2022, we announced the departure of Mr. Coughlin to pursue other opportunities. Mr. Coughlin remained with FLEETCOR as a senior advisor to help ensure a smooth transition of his responsibilities. On May 23, 2022, we announced the establishment of a new “global fleet organization,” combining our North America and International Fleet organizations into one. In connection with such change, Mr. King was promoted to lead the new combined global fleet organization, and Mr. Gavrilenya, former Group President North America fleet, ceased serving in that role. Mr. Gavrilenya remained with FLEETCOR as a senior advisor until December 31, 2022, to help ensure a smooth transition of his responsibilities.

On September 22, 2022, Mr. Freund notified FLEETCOR of his decision to resign as Chief Financial Officer effective October 3, 2022. Mr. Freund remained with FLEETCOR in a consulting capacity until December 31, 2022 to help ensure a smooth transition of his responsibilities. In connection with Mr. Freund’s departure, Ms. Vickery, our Chief Accounting Officer, was appointed to serveserved as our interim Chief Financial Officer.

Officer from October 3, 2022 through May 2, 2023. In connection with his appointment, the compensation committee determined that Mr. Panther’s compensation package would include an annual base salary of $400,000 and a target annual incentive award equal to 75% of his base salary. In addition, Mr. Panther received certain equity compensation awards upon his hire, which awards are described below.

We determined Ms. Vickery’s compensation for 2022 was established prior to her appointment as our interim2023 with the expectation that we would hire a permanent Chief Financial Officer. Therefore, certain elements of her 20222023 compensation differ in design and magnitude from the compensation of our other NEOs.

During 2022,As we undertook engagementcontinue to seek improved feedback from our shareholders, we increased our shareholder outreach efforts to receive shareholder feedback regarding matters of importance to shareholders.throughout 2023. Our engagement process included not onlyinvited discussion with representatives of our executive team but alsoand the Board, including our compensation committee ChairChair. Feedback received was shared regularly with the Board, including the compensation committee, for review and additional Board members.

discussion in anticipation of establishing 2024 compensation.

Importantly, the changes to our 2023 compensation practices reflect shareholder feedback received from our 2022 say-on-pay process, some of which was similar to input provided by shareholders from our 2023 say-on-pay process. As such, our remediation efforts in response to the pay program issues raised by shareholders in both 2023 and 2024 are reflected in the table below.
Scope of Our Outreach

After: Since we mailed our Proxy Statement for the 2022 Annual Meeting of Shareholders,2023 annual meeting, we contacted our 10 largest 10 shareholders as(excluding our CEO), and select others from the next 15 largest shareholders who voted against say-on-pay and/or against certain directors at the 2023 annual meeting. These shareholders held approximately 64.3% of our common shares (as of December 31, 2021 (excluding2023). Of those we attempted to engage, 50% of those shares accepted our CEO) who at that time held approximately 50.3%invitation and attended video or telephonic meetings. A majority of these meetings were attended by the Chair of the compensation committee, and remaining meetings were attended by the Lead Independent Director, Chair of the nomination and governance committee, or Chair of the information technology and security committee. These meetings occurred periodically in 2023. During the meetings, we requested specific feedback on our outstanding common shares in the aggregate. 2023 say-on-pay vote and any issues shareholders had with our compensation program or our governance practices, and solicited their thoughts on how we might address these issues.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

05. COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Based on our outreach efforts and our review of the recommendations of proxy advisory firms, the table below summarizes what we have identified a few key areasheard and how we responded in 2023 and 2024.
What we heardWhat we have done in response
Interest in the direction of CEO compensation, including metrics used for CEO’s incentive-based compensation
CEO Pay Level: CEO pay for 2023 was lower than CEO pay for 2022, which in turn, was substantially lower than CEO pay in 2021.

Annual Incentive Performance Metrics: Other than in the case of Ms. Vickery (who returned to her former role in early 2023), the great majority of the cash portion of all NEOs’ (including the CEO) targeted annual incentive opportunities were contingent upon the achievement of pre-established financial goals.

LTI Performance Linkages: Our CEO did not receive any long-term incentive awards in 2023. Other than in the case of Mr. Netto, the 2023 long-term incentive awards to all of our other NEOs were comprised at least 50% of performance-based long-term incentives (Performance Shares and Performance-Based RSUs). These performance-based long-term incentives were 100% contingent on the achievement of pre-established earnings per share and revenue goals. 48% of Mr. Netto’s 2023 long-term incentive target grant value was comprised of these performance-based awards.
CEO compensation structure should help ensure long-term retentionFor 2024, we have provided the CEO with long-term incentive awards that have multi-year vesting schedules.
The majority of NEO compensation should be performance-basedFor 2024, we ensured more than 50% of all NEO long-term compensation in the aggregate is performance-based. As noted above, the majority of most NEOs’ long-term incentive grant value in 2023 was similarly tied to the achievement of performance objectives.
Long-term compensation should have longer measurement periodsFor 2024, a portion of long-term compensation has a measurement period of three years.
Compensation structures should align with value creationOur long-term incentives are granted 100% in the form of equity-based awards that are settled in the form of shares. In addition, a portion of our NEOs’ targeted annual incentive opportunities are tied to the achievement of preestablished financial metrics that directly contribute to longer-term shareholder value creation. Demonstrating our commitment to aligning NEOs’ incentive earnings with shareholder value creation, in 2023, despite strong annual incentive program formulaic results, the compensation committee used negative discretion to reduce cash payouts under the annual incentive to $0 considering the totality of 2023 performance.
Compensation for NEOs should have a total shareholder return componentWe continue to believe the performance metrics we have chosen under our annual incentive and long-term incentive arrangements are directly aligned with the creation of shareholder value, and are therefore the most appropriate metrics in the near-term. We have considered the use of relative total shareholder return (“TSR”), but have found that that there are too few companies in our direct operating space that present the opportunity for reliable and statistically relevant comparisons of TSR over a three-year period. We intend to continue to review the possibility of adding relative TSR as a metric in coming years, and are receptive to doing so in the event that reliable comparisons are available.
Disclosure should provide context for why the Company selects particular performance metrics for incentive-based compensationIn direct response to shareholder input, we have substantially enhanced our disclosure of our incentive metrics in this year’s Proxy Statement. As noted throughout this Proxy Statement, a portion of our NEOs’ annual incentives and long-term incentives are tied to the achievement of the financial and operating metrics that best align with shareholder value creation.

2019-2023 CEO Equity Compensation. Compensation
During the five-year period of 2019-2023, our CEO, Mr. Clarke has been granted two long-term equity awards:

compensation awards, which provided Mr. Clarke's entire long-term incentive opportunity covering the grant years of 2019 through 2023. This aggregate grant value was calibrated to offer a competitive overall long-term award opportunity for these five years, generally commensurate with peer practices. Those two grants consisted of:
In 2019, 25,000 restricted stock performance shares with a grant date fair value of $9,473,750; and
In 2021, 850,000 performance-based stock options with stock price hurdles of $350 and $400, with a grant date fair value of $55,556,000.
Mr. Clarke has received no equity grants in 2020 and 2022, and has agreed to receive no long-term equity compensation in 2023.

Mr. Clarke received no long-term equity grants in 2020, 2022 or 2023.
As of April 17, 2023,11, 2024, Mr. Clarke has not realized any$0 in compensation from his 2019 and 2021 long-term equity awards (see table below):

The 25,000 performance stock awardshares from 2019 hashave been forfeited; and
TheNeither stock price hurdle has been met for the award of 850,000 performance stock option awardoptions from 2021, is “out-of-the-money”.so no portion of the award has vested.

Meanwhile, the profit performance of the Company since 2019 has increased from $11.79 Adjusted EPS to $16.10 in$16.92 Adjusted EPS for 2022.2023. This suggests significantly better Company profit performance, than “equity compensation realized” for Mr. Clarke under long-term equity awards that were granted during the same five-year period.

05.05. COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Performance Period for Non-CEO Equity Awards. We continue to grant performance-based equity compensation awards to our NEOs other than Mr. Clarke that are scored based on performance achievement over one-year performance measurement periods. Our performance-based restricted stock unit awards, to the extent earned, are subject to ratable vesting over a three-year service period, which we believe enhances our ability to retain talented executives.

Disclosure of Performance Targets. We continue to believe that the disclosure of certain goal levels for our NEOs’ annual cash incentive and equity awards would cause us competitive harm.

Shareholder Outreach Generally

Our Board and management have taken a long-term view toward shareholder engagement and recognize that
solicitation and consideration of shareholder feedback is critical to driving growth and creating shareholder value. As a result, we regularly engage with our shareholders throughout the year in multiple forms — calls, and in-person meetings with members of the management team, and shareholder conferences — to encourage ongoing, meaningful dialogue.

Most of the calls involved the Chair of the Compensation Committee, but in the event of a scheduling conflict, the meetings were attended by the Lead Independent Director, Chair of the Nomination and Governance Committee, or Chair of the Information Technology and Security Committee. In 2023, after evaluating and discussing the vote results from the 2023 meeting, the Board determined to extend its shareholder outreach. Not only did we offer to engage our top 10 shareholders (excluding the CEO) like prior years, but also expanded the offer to the next 15 largest shareholders who voted against say-on-pay and/or against certain directors at the 2023 annual meeting - over 64% of our common shares (as of December 31, 2023). Of those we attempted to engage, 50% of those shares accepted our invitation.

We structure our executive compensation program to incorporate, on an ongoing basis, sound practices that are favored by shareholders, while avoiding practices that we do not believe are in shareholders’ best interests. The table below highlights the compensation practices we embrace and those that we do not follow:

Things We DoThings We Do Not Do

 NEO incentive pay is tied to multiple financial performance conditions, and equity-based incentives are denominated in common shares


Significant portion of target total compensation is delivered in the form of equity awards, which is directly aligned with shareholder value creation


 Significant portion of NEO pay is tied to performance objectives that align with our business strategy


Compensation committee reserves discretion to reduce incentive award payouts in light of overall Company performance, and exercised such discretion in 2023, reducing formulaic cash payments with respect to annual incentive awards to $0


 Annual equity run rate and overhang are consistent with typical practices among similarly situated companies


   All change in control protections are “double-trigger”

 NEO incentives are tied to Company-wide initiatives and/or division objectives within such NEOs’ control


 Severance benefit levels for executives are well below general market practices

Equity-Based Awards

Motivate performance and align a significant portion of NEO compensation with our ongoing success and with shareholder returns

   NEOs’ equity awards generally granted in Performance Shares, performance-based restricted stock units (“Performance-Based RSUs”)RSUs and stock options


 Performance-based equity awards generally only have value to our NEOs to the extent the pre-established corporate and/or business unit goals established by the compensation committee are achieved


 Stock options have value for our NEOs only if our stock price increases

Employee Benefits and Perquisites

Attract and retain executive talent

   Customary retirement and health and welfare benefits to all of our salaried employees, including our NEOs

   

No nonqualified deferred compensation plans or defined benefit pension plans

    

 No excessive perquisites

Our mix of compensation elements is designed to reinforce business and strategic objectives, recognize and reward performance, motivate long-term value creation, and align our NEOs’ interests with those of our shareholders. We generally achieve this through a combination of cash and equity awards.

The Company is responsible for allocating capital in a manner that is in the best interest of its shareholders in line with the stated objective of growing Adjusted EPS between 15%-20% per year over the mid-term. Some portion of this growth is contingent on effective capital allocation in the form of acquisitions and/or share buybacks as a use for our free cash flow.

As part of our existing stock repurchase program, the Company has regularly repurchased shares that it viewed as undervalued, and thus would provide a better return to shareholders

shareholders compared with other alternatives at the time. Also, repurchases are used to offset the dilutive effect of the issuance of shares to executives under equity compensation plans, including the exercise price of options, and the use of shares in acquisitions.

The Company aligns its executive compensation arrangements with its overall capital allocation strategy that maximizes shareholders’ interests, and share repurchases are accordingly not excluded from our performance metrics. The compensation committee is keenly aware of the Company’s stock repurchase approach under outstanding authorizations, and historical stock repurchases when setting performance metrics for executive compensation awards. Because we intend to use free cash for either repurchases or acquisitions, the Board does not exclude repurchases from the final determination of performance achievement.

05.05. COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Target Mix of Compensation

The compensation committee strives to achieve an appropriate mix between fixed versus variable pay and cash versus equity- basedequity-based compensation awards in order to meet our compensation objectives. Our compensation committee does not have a rigid policy for allocating compensation between short-andshort- and long-term compensation and cash and non-cash compensation. We believe the most important indicator of whether our compensation objectives are being met is our ability to motivate our NEOs to deliver superior shareholder return and retain them to continue their careers with us on a cost-effective basis. For NEOs other than the CEO, our compensation committee generally references cash-based components of compensation below market levels and equity-based components of compensation (based on target levels) at market levels, resulting in total target compensation that is generally below the peer median for our NEOs other than the CEO. For our CEO, the compensation committee references cash-based components below the peer median, and equity-based components above the peer median, resulting in total compensation that is generally at or above the peer median. Although the compensation committee includes this market data and its general understanding of current compensation practices in the market in the overall mix of factors it considers in assessing NEO compensation, it does not target a mathematically precise market position for total compensation or any individual element of compensation.

The ultimate compensation levels reflect the application of these policies to the varying responsibilities of the NEOs. In a typical year, it is expected that the greater the responsibility of the executive and the greater the potential impact of the executive on the Company’s financial performance, the higher the proportion of compensation that can be earned by the executive in the form of performance-based compensation.

Our CEO has the greatest responsibility in managing and driving the performance of our Company. He joined our Company in 2000, and has managed our significant growth through a combination of organic initiatives, product and service innovation and acquisitions of businesses and commercial account portfolios, and has overseen the growth of our revenue from $33.0 million in 2000 to approximately $3.4$3.8 billion in 2022.

2023.

The charts below illustrate the 20222023 total target direct compensation mix for our CEO and our continuing NEOs other than the CEO (on average), consisting of base salary, target annual cash incentives, and target equity-based incentives. As discussed in more detail below, in 20222023 our CEO was not granted any equity compensation awards, other than the portion of his annual incentive opportunity that was delivered in the form of time-based restricted stock, because the 2021 CEO Performance Option was intended to serve as the long-term equity incentive portion of his total compensation for the period from 2020 through 2023. Therefore, the compensation mix for our CEO in the applicable chart below includes a quarter of the total target value of the performance-based stock option award we granted to Mr. Clarke in 2021 (the “2021 CEO Performance Option”), even though such award was granted in 2021.

As previously disclosed, we granted the 2021 CEO Performance Option to Mr. Clarke in September 2021. In connection with the grant of the 2021 CEO Performance Option, Mr. Clarke agreed not to receive any other long-term equity grants in 2021, 2022 or 2023.

He did, however, receive an award of restricted stock in connection with his 2023 annual incentive award, as further discussed below.

The 2021 CEO Performance Option is intended to further align Mr. Clarke’s compensation interests with the Company stock price performance interests of the Company’s shareholders, and to help retain Mr. Clarke’s service during the period of time covered by the award. In considering and approving the award, the compensation committee considered the best interests of the Company’s shareholders and a desire to retain Mr. Clarke due to, among other considerations, his over 20-year history of operational excellence, development of a strong management team, and ability to lead the Company’s continued strategic development, transformation and expansion.

The 2021 CEO Performance Option covers 850,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $261.27 per share, which was the fair market value of our common stock on the grant date. However, the option will vest only if we achieve specific stock price hurdles. Achievement of each stock price hurdle requires that our stock price exceed
the hurdle for ten consecutive trading days not later than December 31, 2024 (in other words, only 3.25 years after the date of grant). The

stock price hurdle for 550,000 shares subject to the award is $350, and the stock price hurdle for the remainder of the award is $400.

The compensation committee considers achievement of each of the stock price hurdles to represent a significant challenge. The hurdles reflect stock price appreciation of 34% and 53%, respectively, from the closing price of our common stock on the grant date. As of April 17, 2023,11, 2024, the closing price per share of our common shares was $222.09,$305.72, and neither of the stock price hurdles for the 2021 CEO Performance Option had been met, and the 2021 CEO Performance Option was significantly “underwater.”met. However, notwithstanding these rigorous goals, due to the accounting standards that apply to stock option awards, the 2021 CEO Performance Option had significant “grant date fair value” (as determined pursuant to SEC rules) for purposes of the compensation tables included in last year’sour 2022 proxy statement.

Mr. Clarke generally mustwas required to continue to provide services to the Company over an 18-month vesting period to be eligible to vest in the full award (which vestsvested over time in ratable installments every six months), regardless of our stock price performance. Although the 2021 CEO Performance Option allows for vesting in the event of certain terminations of employment and in connection with a change in control (on a “double trigger” basis), in all events the applicable stock price hurdles must be achieved in order for Mr. Clarke to vest in the award.

The table below outlines the performance metrics that were used in the CEO’s 2022 pay program, which metrics were selected to drive a focus on corporate objectives that are expected to produce an increase in shareholder value:

evaluation of the competitive market. No particular weight is assigned to

these factors. Based on its consideration of these factors, as well as her service as interim Chief Financial Officer, the compensation committee approved increasesan increase to the base salary ratesrate of Mr. Clarke and Mr. NettoMs. Vickery for 2022. In setting Mr. Clarke’s base salary rate for 2022, the compensation committee specifically considered the need to properly incentivize Mr. Clarke.2023.

(2) Mr. Netto’s cash compensation is denominated in Brazilian Real, and, at the time 2022 base salary determinations were made, Mr. King’s cash compensation was denominated in British Pounds Sterling.Real. For purposes of this table and to normalize for fluctuations in the currency exchange rate, cash amounts for Mr. Netto have been converted to U.S. dollars at an average exchange rate of $1 to R$5.15354.9915 for 2022, and cash amounts for Mr. King have been converted to U.S. dollars at an average exchange rate of $1 to £0.8080 for 2022.2023. The 20212022 base salary rate for Mr. Netto may not be comparable to the 20212022 base salary rate reported for him in our 20222023 proxy statement, as we used a 20212022 exchange rate calculation for purposes of such disclosure in the prior filing.

A portion of Mr. King’s 2022 base salary was paid in British Pounds Sterling, but commenced to be paid in U.S. dollars in 2022. The amount shown for Mr. King’s 2022 base salary rate reflects an update to the amount provided for such rate in our 2023 proxy statement to properly reflect the compensation committee’s intent for his 2022 base salary rate, disregarding applicable exchange rates.

Annual Cash Incentive

The primary objectives of our annual cash incentive program are to provide an incentive for superior work, to motivate our NEOs toward even higher achievement and business results, to promote retention and to tie our NEOs’ goals to the Company’s performance. We use Company-wide, individual and business unit performance goals in our annual cash incentive program. Individual or business unit performance goals are tied to the particular area of expertise and responsibilities of the NEO and their performance in attaining those objectives.

In January 2022,2023, the compensation committee determined the target annual cash incentive payout levels for the NEOs based on a combination of factors, including market practices, each NEO’s role and responsibilities, experience and skills, expected contribution to the Company and

potential impact of the NEO’s performance on revenue and net income growth. Based on such factors,In light of a desire to promote the retention of our NEOs, and after consideringto further align executives with the need to properly incentivize Mr. Clarke,creation of shareholder value, the compensation committee approved an increasedetermined that for 2023, 80% of Mr. Clarke’sthe target annual cash incentive value for NEOs (based on their respective salaries in January 2023) would be delivered in the form of shares of restricted stock that generally vested on March 1, 2024. To the extent that achievement of the applicable performance objectives resulted in a payout in excess of the target value of such restricted stock award, from 100%any additional value earned would be delivered in the form of base salarycash. Ultimately, based on the performance of the Company, the compensation committee determined that no annual incentive would be paid to 150% of base salary. Due to the timing of Mr. Gavrilenya’s and Mr. Coughlin’s cessation of service in their prior officer roles, they were not eligible for 2022 annual cash incentive awards.NEOs beyond restricted stock issued.

20222023 Performance Goals and Results

for Cash Portion of Annual Incentive Award

The compensation committee and the CEO workworked together to establish meaningful performance goals for the cash portion of the CEO’s annual cash incentive award at the beginning of the performance period. These goals are intended to align CEO rewards with companyCompany performance. Based onIn the event of achievement of maximum results under the applicable performance goals, the CEO’s annual cash incentive was designed to be paid out in amounts uphas a maximum potential value equal to 200% of target.

A key performance metric for purposes of our NEOs’ 2023 incentive-based compensation was Adjusted EPS, further adjusted to exclude the impact of (a) the macro-environment (including foreign exchange rates, tax rates, fuel prices, fuel price spreads and interest rate fluctuations), and (b) acquisitions and divestitures. We refer to Adjusted EPS as adjusted as “Adjusted EPS-COMP.”
The table below outlines the performance metrics that were used for the cash portion of the CEO’s 2023 annual incentive award, which metrics were selected to drive a focus on corporate objectives that are expected to produce an increase in shareholder value:
Pay ElementPerformance Metric(s)Rationale and Key Features
GAAP Revenue, as Adjusted (25% weight)Revenue growth is critically important to our success given the operating leverage in our business

M&A and Other Transactions (25% weight)We expect M&A and other transactions to continue to contribute to growth
Our CEO makes recommendations regarding individual and/or business unit performance goals, which are reviewed and approved by the compensation committee, for our other NEOs.

Based onIn the event of achievement of maximum results under the applicable performance goals, allthe other NEOs’ annual cash incentives were designedhave a maximum potential value equal to be paid out in amounts ranging up to 150%.

Annual of target.

The cash portion of the annual incentive awards could be paid out in amounts below the individual target amounts if actual performance achieved minimumcertain thresholds. The awards were designed so that performance below thresholdcertain thresholds would result in no payout for a given goal.

In early 2024, the compensation committee evaluated achievement of the performance objectives for each NEO’s annual incentive award. Although the formulaic achievement for certain of the NEOs would have resulted in a cash payment in accordance with the program design, in light of the overall financial performance of the Company, the compensation committee exercised negative discretion such that none of the NEOs would receive a cash payment for 2023 under the annual incentive program.
The tables below illustrate, for each participating NEO, (1) the performance goals approved for the 2022cash portion of the 2023 annual incentive awards,award, (2) actual performance with respect to the goals (where applicable), and (3) the target value of the restricted stock granted to each NEO in lieu of a portion of their cash incentive, and (4) the final 2022 annual2023 cash incentive payout earned by the NEO (if any).

Equity Awards

We believe that performance-based equity awards are effective tools for meeting our compensation goals because the conditions to vesting motivate the achievement of performance goals and the value of the grants will increase as the value of our stock price increases. We believe that performance-based equity awards also satisfy both the objective of aligning executives' pay outcomes with Company performance, and of aligning executives with shareholder value creation. We believe that stock options are also an effective tool for meeting our compensation goals because NEOs are rewarded only if our stock price increases relative to the stock option’s exercise price. To determine the size of each NEO’s equity awards, we consider the external market, individual performance history and relative job responsibilities.

Our CEO makes equity award grant recommendations for each executive officer, including our NEOs (other than himself). Grant recommendations are presented to the compensation committee for its review and approval.

2021 Performance Stock Option Award for CEO

In September 2021, as discussed above, the compensation committee approved the 2021 CEO Performance Option for Mr. Clarke. Other than the restricted stock granted to Mr. Clarke in lieu of a portion of his annual cash incentive award for 2023, Mr. Clarke did not receive any equity compensation awards in 2022.

Performance Period for Non-CEO Equity Awards

We continue to grant performance-based equity compensation awards to our NEOs, other than Mr. Clarke, that are scored based on performance achievement over one-year performance measurement periods. Linking these awards to three-year objectives would potentially impair retention of executives, as goals may become outdated and unachievable soon after they are established, due to market uncertainty. Our performance-based restricted stock unit awards (“Performance-Based RSUs”), to the extent earned, are subject to ratable vesting over a three-year service period, which we believe enhances our ability to retain talented executives.
Performance Share Grants

The NEOs, other than Mr. Clarke, received 20222023 Performance Share awards tied to Adjusted EPS, as adjusted,EPS-COMP achievement. The Performance Shares could be earned if we achieved budgeted Adjusted EPS, as adjusted.EPS-COMP of $16.66. Our Adjusted EPSEPS-COMP for 20222023 was $16.10,$17.18, and the compensation committee therefore determined that the Adjusted EPS, as adjusted,EPS-COMP objective was achieved. As a result, the 20222023 Performance Share awards were earned at 100%, and. The earned 2023 Performance Shares were paid in full in the form of common shares, except that Ms. Vickery’s earned Performance Shares are subject to service-based vesting over a two-year period.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

05. COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
For 2023, each of Mr. Netto's and Mr. King's target Performance Share award value was increased by 27% (as compared to 2022) due to being named Co-Presidents of the newly formed Vehicle Payments division, and in light of market considerations, the NEOs' anticipated contributions, and the NEOs' prior performance.
Special Restricted Stock Awards
In order to promote retention of our NEOs, and in consideration of the financial performance of the Company, the compensation committee approved special restricted stock awards for Messrs. Netto and King and Ms. Vickery in 2023. These restricted stock awards vested on January 23, 2024, except that Ms. Vickery's award vested in equal installments on September 1, 2023 and March 1, 2024.
Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit
(RSU) Grants

In addition to the Performance Shares, in 2022,2023, we granted Performance-Based RSU awards to each of the NEOs, other
than Mr. Clarke and Ms. Vickery, tied to achievement with

respect to corporate or business unit revenue goals. The Performance-Based RSUs earned by each of the NEOs in 20222023 (based on the achievement of the applicable performance goals) are subject to a three-year ratable vesting schedule, pursuant to which the earned Performance-Based RSUs will generally vest in substantially equal installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date.

The tables below illustrate, for each participating NEO, (1) the applicable performance goals for each NEO, (2) actual performance with respect to the performance metrics, and (3) the number of Performance-Based RSUs earned in 20222023 that are eligible to vest on a ratable basis. The number of Performance-Based RSUs earned for performance falling between the “threshold” and “maximum” performance levels set forth in the table below was determined without interpolation between performance levels (subject to rounding). Because Ms. Vickery’s compensation for 2022 was established prior to her appointmentservice as our interim Chief Financial Officer in 2023 was on an interim basis, she was not eligible for a Performance-Based RSU award.

Stock Option Grants

The exercise price of each stock option grant is the fair market value of our common shares on the grant date (closing stock price). Stock option awards granted to our NEOs, other than Mr. Clarke and Ms. Vickery, in 20222023 generally vest ratably over a period of four years and are earned only with continued employment through the vesting period. We believe stock option awards are inherently performance-based, requiring stock price appreciation before there is any real value earned, while encouraging long-term employment with the Company. At the time we made our regular grants of stock options to our NEOs (other than Mr. Clarke), we also made special, additional stock option grants to such NEOs as an additional retention incentive (other than Ms. Vickery, who commenced service as our interim Chief Financial Officer after 2022 equity awards were granted). In January 2022,2023, we granted the stock options set forth below to our NEOs other thanMessrs. Netto and King. In May 2023, we granted the CEO:

In 2020, Mr. Netto was granted a retention equity award in the form of 35,000 performance-based stock options with an exercise price equalset forth below to the fair market value of our common shares on the grant date (closing stock price). This award contemplated that vesting of the award would be subject to the achievement of performance goals. In April 2021, the compensation committee established the performance goals for the option award, which were based on achievement with respect to new active urban plan users (weighted at 75%) and consumer fueling transactions (weighted at 25%). The performance period for this award ended in the first quarter of 2023. The table below sets forth the goals, achievement levels and actual stock options earned under the award:

05. COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Omission of Certain Goal Levels

We believe that disclosure of certain goal levels for our NEOs’ annual cash incentive and equity awards described above would cause us competitive harm. However, we have provided information regarding the payout levels that would be applied based on percentage achievement against the target levels for such goals. In setting the applicable target levels, the compensation committee considered how achievement of the performance goals could be impacted by events expected to occur in the coming years, and how likely it would be for the goals to be achieved. We believe that the below-target goals (where applicable) have been established at levels that should be appropriately difficult to attain, and that the target goals require considerable effort on the part of each NEO to achieve. Achievement of above-target goals (where applicable) is considered to be a “stretch” target given market conditions.

Other Compensation and Benefits

Employee Benefits. All U.S.-based salaried employees including NEOs may participate in a 401(k) plan. Our 401(k) plan provides that we match 25% of an employee’s contribution, up to an employee contribution of 4% of salary. Our NEOs in the U.S. may participate in this 401(k) plan on the same basis as all of our other participating employees. Consistent with local employment practices, our senior executives in Brazil, including Mr. Netto, receive a car allowance on a monthly basis to assist with the cost of transportation. We provide health benefits to all of our eligible employees and pay the premiums for these benefits on behalf of our NEOs. We provide to our NEOs life insurance benefits, long term care insurance and concierge doctor services and also pay these premiums. We do not provide any nonqualified deferred compensation arrangements or defined benefit pension plans to our NEOs.

Employment Agreements and Offer Letters; Severance and Change-in-Control Benefits. We entered into an employment agreement with our CEO in 2010. We have also entered into offer letter agreements with each of our other NEOs, other than Ms. Vickery. Pursuant to Mr. Clarke’sClarke's agreement and, thewith respect to our other applicable NEOs’ (except for Mr. Freund’s) agreements provide thatNEOs, our historical practice, in the case of theiran NEO's termination under specific circumstances, they will be entitled to certain severance payments. These agreementsseverance benefits are discussed below in “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control.” We provide severance compensation if certain NEOs are terminated without cause to attract and retain qualified executive talent, and, with respect to post-changechange in control benefits, to incentivize such NEOs to act in the best interests of our shareholders in the face of a transaction even if they may be terminated as a result. In 2023, after considering market practices, the compensation committee approved a modest increase to the severance compensation payable to our NEOs, other than Mr. Clarke, upon a termination without cause from six months of salary and benefits to one year of salary and benefits. The compensation committee also determined to amend the vesting conditions with respect to our equity compensation awards, other than Mr. Clarke’s 2021 CEO Performance Option, so that they will partially vest in connection with retirement, death, or disability, or fully vest in connection with a change in control, as discussed further below in “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control.”

After their cessation of employment in 2022, each of Messrs. Coughlin, Gavrilenya and Freund continued to serve FLEETCOR in a consulting capacity to help ensure a smooth transition of their responsibilities. Messrs. Gavrilenya and Freund ceased such service on December 31, 2022, and Mr. Coughlin is expect to continue such service until May 1, 2023. During such consulting service, each such officer is or was eligible to exercise his vested stock option awards, but did not receive any other compensation.

Certain Perquisites.In 2022,2023, we provided relocation benefits to Mr. King, in connection with his relocation from the United KingdomU.K. to the United States.U.S. Also during 2022,2023, we provided vehicle allowances to Mr.Messrs.

Process to Review, Revise, and
Set Compensation

The compensation committee is responsible for administering our executive compensation program and making decisions with respect to the compensation paid to our NEOs. In making such decisions, the compensation committee considers a variety of factors, including:

The compensation committee’s evaluation of the competitive market, including referencing peer group data
The feedback received from our shareholders and proxy advisory firms
The roles and responsibilities of our executives, including each executive’s impact on creating shareholder value

The individual experience and skills of, and expected contributions from, our executives
Pay relative to other NEOs at the Company
The individual performance of our executives during the year and the historical performance levels of our executives
Our overall financial performance

Role of Independent Compensation Consultant:All services performed by Exequity were conducted under the direction or authority of the compensation committee. The compensation committee has considered the required independence factors outlined by the SEC and NYSE rules in assessing the independence of Exequity. Consideration was also given by the compensation committee under those required independence factors, plus all other relevant factors, to whether the work performed by Exequity could give rise to a potential conflict of interest. Based on this review, the compensation committee did not identify any conflict of interest raised by the work performed by Exequity.

Role of Management: Our CEO provides substantial input to the compensation committee in reviewing the performance of the other executive officers and making compensation recommendations for executive officers who report directly to him.

The CEO does not participate in determining the amount of his own compensation. Decisions regarding the compensation of our CEO are made by the compensation committee.

committee in executive session, without the CEO being present.

Compensation Peer Group

We considered the compensation levels, programs and practices of industry peer companies to assist us in setting compensation for our NEOs by considering market competitiveness and the goal of motivating our executives to appropriately drive corporate performance. The compensation committee periodically reviews and updates the list of companies comprising the peer group to provide an appropriate marketplace focus.

The compensation committee last modified the peer group for purposes of 2021 compensation decisions, as disclosed in our 2022 proxy statement.

The compensation committee evaluates multiple criteria in determining the appropriate peer group, including industry, revenue, market capitalization, competitors to our various lines of business, business models and profitability. The compensation committee determined that it was appropriate to continue to use the same peer group as in the prior year for purposes of 20222023 compensation decisions for our NEOs.

The compensation committee referred to the 20222023 Industry Peer Group (as defined below) in setting compensation for 20222023 for our NEOs. Generally, the compensation committee references cash-based compensation at or below market levels and equity-based compensation (based on target levels) at or above market levels, resulting in total target compensation at or above the peer median for our CEO and generally below the peer median for our other NEOs. Although the compensation committee includes this market data and its general understanding of current compensation practices in the market in the overall mix of factors it considers in assessing NEO compensation, it does not target a mathematically precise market position for total compensation or any individual element of

compensation. Comparisons to the peer group for purposes of this Proxy Statement are based on an adjustment of the peer group compensation data by the Company to account for the passage of time.

Information on Other Compensation-RelatedCompensation- Related Topics

Stock Ownership Policy. Our continuing executive officers (other than Ms. Vickery) are subject to stock ownership requirements (expressed as a multiple of base salary). In response to input in our shareholder outreach process, we increased the stock ownership guideline requirements in 2019 to the following levels (which must be obtained within five years):

Chief Executive Officer 6x

Chief Financial Officer 4x

All Other Executive Officers 3x

Ms. Vickery, who is currently servingserved as our interim Chief Financial Officer and was not previously an executive officer, is not subject to the stock ownership requirements. Currently, all of our other continuing NEOs are in compliance with this policy or (in our view) are on track to meet the required ownership level within the applicable time period.

Insider Trading Policy.The Company maintains an insider trading policy applicable to all directors and employees. The policy provides that Company personnel may not buy, sell or engage in other transactions in the Company’s stock while in possession of material non-public information, buy or sell securities of other companies while in possession of material non-public information about those companies they become aware of as a result of business dealings between the Company and those companies, or disclose material non-public information to any unauthorized persons outside of the Company. The policy also restricts trading for a limited group of Company employees (including all directors and NEOs) to defined window periods which align with our quarterly earnings releases.

Anti-Hedging and Pledging Policy.Derivative securities are securities, contracts or arrangements the value of which varies in relation to the price of our securities. For example, derivative securities would include exchange-traded put or call options, as well as individually arranged derivative transactions, such as prepaid forwards. Many forms of derivatives are speculative in nature (meaning that their value fluctuates based on short-term changes in the price of our shares), and the purchase or sale of such derivatives by our employees could motivate them to take actions that are in conflict with the long-term interests of other shareholders and could also cause the appearance of misuse of inside information.

05. COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Equity Grant Practices. We generally grant equity-based incentives annually during the first calendar quarter. To date there has been no set program for the award of incremental periodic grants, and our compensation committee retains discretion to make equity awards at any time, including in connection with the promotion of an executive, to reward an executive for extraordinary performance or the assumption of additional responsibilities or for retention purposes.

Clawback Policy. Policies. In 2019, in response to shareholder input received during our outreach process, as well aslight of new rules promulgated by the results of a shareholder proposal submitted to shareholders in 2019,NYSE and SEC requirements, we adopted a newcompensation recoupment policy in 2023, which policy complies with the required standards (the “NYSE Clawback Policy”). The NYSE Clawback Policy provides for the prompt recovery (or clawback) of certain excess incentive-based compensation received during an applicable three-year recovery period by current or former executive officers in the event we are required to prepare an accounting restatement due to material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws. Excess incentive-based compensation for these purposes generally means the amount of incentive-based compensation received (on or after October 2, 2023) by such executive officer that exceeds the amount of incentive-based compensation that would have been received by such executive officer had it been determined based on the restated amounts, without regard to any taxes paid. Incentive-based compensation potentially subject to recovery under the NYSE Clawback Policy is in general limited to any compensation granted, earned or vested based wholly or in part on the attainment of a financial reporting measure.
In general, we may utilize a broad range of recoupment methods under the NYSE Clawback Policy. The NYSE Clawback Policy does not condition clawback on the fault of the executive officer, and clawback thereunder is generally mandatory, except in limited circumstances where the compensation committee has made a determination that recovery would be impracticable and (1) we have already attempted to recover such amounts but the direct
expenses paid to a third party in an effort to enforce the NYSE Clawback Policy would exceed the amount to be recovered, (2) the recovery of amounts would violate applicable home country law, or (3) the recovery would cause the non-compliance of a tax-qualified retirement plan under the Internal Revenue Code and applicable regulations. Operation of the NYSE Clawback Policy is subject to a brief phase-in process during the first few years after its effectiveness. We may not indemnify any such executive officer against the loss of such recovered compensation.
In 2019, we previously adopted a clawback policy applicable to our executive officers, including our NEOs, which applies to all incentive-based compensation earned by our executive officers.officers (the “Supplemental Clawback Policy”). The clawback policySupplemental Clawback Policy provides that if our compensation committee determines that an executive officer engaged in misconduct that contributed to the Company being required to make a restatement of its financial statements, the Company will promptly recover from such executive officer all incentive-based compensation received that was in excess of the incentive-based compensation such executive officer would have received under the restated financial results of the Company.

The Supplemental Clawback Policy remains in effect with respect to compensation received prior to the October 2, 2023 phase-in date of the NYSE Clawback Policy.

No Excise Tax Gross-Ups. The Company does not provide excise tax gross-ups for any of its NEOs.

Risk Assessment in Compensation Programs. We believe our compensation programs encourage and reward prudent business judgment without encouraging undue risk. The compensation committee reviews our compensation programs for features that might encourage inappropriate risk-taking. We believe our compensation policies and practices do not create undue risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

Employment Agreements, Severance and Change of Control Benefits

Ronald F. Clarke

We entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Clarke in 2010, the key terms of which are:

The agreement term automatically renews for successive one-year periods unless we provide notice at least 30 days prior to the expiration date.

Mr. Clarke is entitled to an annual base salary of at least $687,500.

If we terminate Mr. Clarke’s employment other than for “cause”“cause” (as defined below), including through non-renewal of the agreement, Mr. Clarke will receive (1) cash severanceseverance payments, in equal monthly installments over 12 months, in an amount equal to 150% of his then-current annual base salary plus any accrued and unpaid vacation, (2) payment of his health insurance premiums for coverage under COBRA in amounts equal to those made immediately prior to his termination until, at his election, the earlier of the expiration of the severance period or his commencement of employment with another employer and (3) continuation of coverage during the severance period under our life and disability insurance plans, if permitted by the terms of the plans.

If within 12 months following a change in control Mr. Clarke’s employment is terminated by him for “good reason” (as defined below) or by the Company other than for cause, in addition to receiving the severance benefits described above, Mr. Clarke can elect to have us purchase from him any remaining Company common stock and stock options in the Company that he held at January 1, 2010 and still holds. The purchase price would be at the fair market value determined in accordance with the employment agreement. Mr. Clarke no longer holds any Company common stock or stock options that he held at January 1, 2010.

The employment agreement includes customary non-competition and non-solicitation provisions that apply during his employment with the Company and for one year thereafter, as well as customary confidentiality and intellectual property provisions and a mutual non-disparagementnon- disparagement provision.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

10.10. CEO PAY RATIO

As required by item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, the compensation committee reviewed a comparison of our CEO’s annual total compensation in fiscal year 20222023 to that of all other Company employees for the same period. We identified our median employee by determining December 20222023 pay (which (which was our consistently applied compensation measure for purposes of this disclosure) for all of our employees (as defined for purposes Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K), excluding our CEO, who were employed by us on December 31, 2022. 2023. For this purpose, the total pay for each employee was determined by calculating such employee’s total December 20222023 compensation using the same categories of compensation that are required to be included in the Summary Compensation Table. We then annualized that total for each employee, but did not annualize the compensation for temporary or seasonal employees or make full-time equivalent adjustments. We did not make any cost-of-living cost-of-living adjustments when identifying our median employee. We applied a foreign currency to U.S. dollar exchange rate to the compensation paid in foreign currency based on rates as of December 31, 2022.

2023.

The annual total compensation for fiscal year 20222023 for our CEO was $3,986,998,$2,669,024, as set forth in the 20222023 Summary Compensation Table for 20222023 above, and for our median employee it was $42,985,$50,798, making the resulting ratio approximately 9353 to 1. This was calculated, in a manner consistent with Item 402(u) of SEC Regulation S-K, based on our payroll and employment records. The SEC rules for identifying the “median employee” and calculating the pay ratio based on that employee’s annual total compensation allow reporting companies to adopt a variety of methodologies, and to make reasonable estimates and assumptions that reflect their compensation practices. As such, the pay ratios reported by other companies may not be comparable to the pay ratio set forth above, as other companies may have different employment and compensation practices and may utilize different methodologies, exclusions, estimates and assumptions in calculating their own pay ratios.

Approximately 60%59% of our employees are located outside of the United States,U.S., in several different countries. In several of these countries the cost of living is much lower than in the United States,U.S., as is employee compensation. In light of this, we also conducted a review of compensation for our employees located only in the United States.U.S. We included all such employees, and calculated the median of such employees using the same definitions and methodology as described above with respect to our full employee group. We determined that the annual total compensation of the median compensated U.S.-based employee, other than our CEO, was $72,716.$77,729. The ratio of our CEO’s annual total compensation to that of such U.S.-based employee was 55approximately 34 to 1.

11.11. PAY VERSUS PERFORMANCE DISCLOSURE

As required by the pay versus performance rules adopted by the SEC on August 25, 2022 (“PVP Rules”) and in effect for the first time for this Proxy Statement,, the below Pay Versus Performance table (“PVP Table”) provides information about compensation for this Proxy Statement’s NEOs, as well as NEOs from our 2023, 2022 and 2021 Proxy Statements (each of 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2022,2023, a “Covered Year”). The PVP Table also provides information about the results for certain financial performance measures during those same Covered Years. In reviewing this information, there are a few important things to consider:

As required by the PVP Rules, we describe the information in columns (c) and (e) as “compensation actually paid” (or “CAP”(or “CAP”) to the applicable NEOs, but these CAP amounts do not entirely reflect compensation that our NEOs actually earned for their service in the Covered Years. Instead, CAP reflects a calculation involving a combination of realized pay (primarily for cash amounts) and realizable or accrued pay (primarily for pension benefits and equity awards); and

As required by the PVP Rules, we provide information about our total shareholder return (“TSR”) results, PVP Peer Group (as defined below) TSR results and U.S. GAAP net income results (the “External Measures”) during the Covered Years in the PVP Table, but we did not actually base any compensation decisions for the NEOs on, or link any NEO pay to, these particular External Measures because the External Measures were not metrics used in our incentive plans during the Covered Years.

Due to the use of the Adjusted EPSEPS-COMP in our incentive programs, the Company has determined that, pursuant to the PVP Rules, Adjusted EPSEPS-COMP should be designated as the “Company-Selected Measure” because we believe it is the most important financial measure that we used to link 20222023 NEO pay to our performance.

Each of these yearly percentage changes was then applied to a deemed fixed investment of $100 at the beginning of the Measurement Period to produce the Covered Year-end values of such investment as of the end of 2023, 2022, 2021 and 2020, as applicable. Because Covered Years are presented in the table in reverse chronological order (from top to bottom), the table should be read from bottom to top for purposes of understanding cumulative returns over time.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

11. PAY VERSUS PERFORMANCE DISCLOSURE

The following charts to the right provide, across the Covered Years, (1) a comparison between our cumulative TSR and the cumulative TSR of the PVP Peer Group, and (2) illustrations of the relationships between (A) the CAP to the PEO and the average CAP to our non-PEO NEOs (in each case as set forth in the PVP Table above) and (B) each of the performance measures set forth in columns (f), (h) and (i) of the PVP Table above.

CAP, as calculated under SEC rules, reflects adjusted values to equity awards during the years shown in the PVP Table based on stock prices at various times, certain accounting valuation assumptions, and projected performance modifiers, but does not necessarily reflect actual amounts realized under those awards. Although our performance in GAAP net income and Adjusted EPS steadily increased during the 2020-2022 period, the charts below do not show a clear relationship between CAP and our performance during such period. There are two primary reasons for this disconnect. First, Mr. Clarke did not receive any equity compensation awards in 2020 or 2022. The significant increase in PEO CAP for 2021 primarily reflects the value of a performance-based stock option award granted to Mr. Clarke during 2021, which award was intended to be the entirety of Mr. Clarke’s long-term equity compensation for the four-year period of 2020 through 2023. Second, CAP is heavily influenced by the timing of equity award grants and our stock price performance during the covered periods. Our stock price at the particular points in time used to determine the fair value

of outstanding equity awards for purposes of 2022 CAP (including Mr. Clarke’s performance stock option award) resulted in a significantly lower CAP for both the PEO and non-PEO NEOs for 2022 as compared to 2021.

15.15. AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

The audit committee recognizes the importance of maintaining the independence of the Company’s independent auditor, both in fact and appearance. Ernst & Young LLP has audited the Company’s Company’s consolidated financial statements annually since it was first appointed in 2002. Consistent with its charter, the audit committee, along with the Company management and internal auditors, reviewed EY’s performance as part of the audit committee’s consideration of whether to reappoint the firm as our independent auditors. As part of this review of EY, the audit committee considered independence and objectivity, quality of service, evaluations by our management and internal auditors, the quality and candor of communications with the audit committee and management, (v) the length of time the audit firm has served as our independent auditors, the fees for audit and non-audit services, capability and expertise in the financial services industry and in handling the breadth and complexity of our worldwide operations, the audit approach, and size and reputation. As part of its auditor engagement process, the audit committee considers whether to rotate the independent audit firm, and periodically solicits competitive bids for the independent auditor engagement to help ensure the competitiveness of the independent auditor with respect to each of the factors set forth above.

The audit committee also evaluates the selection of the lead audit partner, including their qualifications and performance, most recently appointing the current lead audit partner for the first time in 2019 after consultation with EY concerning several possible candidates.performance.

17.17. PROPOSAL 1: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Our Board of Directors currently consists of eleven members. Except for our CEO, all of our directors are independent under the NYSE rules.

In 2019, we began to phase out the classified board structure that had been in effect since before we went public in 2010. All directors whose terms expire at this year’s annual meeting will stand for election for a one-year term, expiring at the following annual meeting. At and after the annual meeting, all directors will be elected annually and we will have no classified director terms.

Accordingly, all eleven

Each of our directors — Steven T. Stull, Annabelle Bexiga, Michael Buckman, Ronald F. Clarke, Joseph W. Farrelly, Rahul Gupta, Thomas M. Hagerty, Archie L. Jones,

Richard Macchia, Hala G. Moddelmog, and Jeffrey S. Sloan and Gerald Throop — will stand for election to the Board for a one-year term. If elected, each director nominee will hold office until the next annual meeting and until his or her successor is elected and qualified, or until their earlier resignation,

removal or other termination of service. The accompanying proxy will be voted in favor of each individual to serve as a director unless the shareholder indicates to the contrary on the proxy. The Board expects that each of the nominees will be available to serve, but if any of them is unable to serve at the time the election occurs, the Board may, by resolution, provide for a lesser number of directors or designate a substitute nominee.

Our Board of Directors recommends that you vote “FOR” each of the director nominees named above.



18.18.   PROPOSAL 2: RATIFICATION OF ERNST

& YOUNG LLP AS OUR INDEPENDENT
REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
FOR FISCAL YEAR 2023

2024

The audit committee of the Board has selected Ernst & Young LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2023.2024. Shareholder ratification of the appointment is not legally required but the audit committee has decided to request that the shareholders ratify the appointment. A representative of Ernst & Young LLP will be present at the annual meeting to answer appropriate questions from shareholders and will have the opportunity to make a statement on behalf of the firm, if desired.

If this proposal is not approved by our shareholders at the annual meeting, the audit committee will reconsider its selection of Ernst & Young LLP. Even if the selection is ratified, the audit committee may, in its discretion, select a different registered public accounting firm at any point during the year if it determines that making a change would be in the best interests of the Company and our shareholders.

Our Board of Directors recommends that you vote “FOR” the ratification of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2023.2024.

19.19.   PROPOSAL 3: ADVISORY VOTE TO
APPROVE NAMED EXECUTIVE
OFFICER COMPENSATION

Our Board and our shareholders have determined to hold an advisory vote on executive compensation, as required pursuant to Section 14A of the Exchange Act, every year. Accordingly, we are asking shareholders to vote to approve the 20222023 compensation of our named executive officers as such compensation is disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of the SEC’s Regulation S-K, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the compensation tables, and other narrative compensation disclosures required by Item 402. This Proxy Statement contains all of these required disclosures. The following resolution is submitted:

RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to our named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of the SEC’s Regulation S-K, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables and other narrative compensation disclosure set forth in this Proxy Statement is hereby APPROVED.

Because the vote on this proposal is advisory, it will not affect compensation already paid or awarded to any named executive officer and will not be binding on the Company, the Board, or the compensation committee. The Board and compensation committee, however, will review the voting results and take into account the outcome in determining future annual compensation for the named executive officers.

We currently conduct a say-on-pay vote annually. Our next say-on-pay vote is expected to occur at the 20242025 annual meeting of shareholders.

Our Board of Directors recommends that you vote “FOR” the approval of named executive officer compensation as set forth above.



20. PROPOSAL 4: ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE THE FREQUENCY OF SHAREHOLDER VOTING ON COMPENSATION OF NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERSPROPOSAL FOR

The Dodd-Frank Act also provides stockholders with the opportunity to indicate, on an advisory basis, their preference as to the frequency of future say on pay votes, often referred to as say when on pay. For this proposal, stockholders may indicate whether they would prefer that we hold future advisory votes on executive compensation every one, two or three years. Stockholders also may abstain from casting a vote on this proposal.

The Board recommends that future advisory votes on executive compensation should be held every one year; that is, on an annual basis, so that the next advisory vote would be held at our 2024 annual meeting.

Upon review, our Board of Directors has determined that an advisory vote on executive compensation that occurs annually is the most appropriate choice for our Company. The Company and the Board feel that an advisory vote each year on executive compensation encourages ongoing engagement and dialogue. While the Company’s executive compensation programs are designed to promote a connection between pay and


performance, the Board recognizesINDEPENDENT BOARD CHAIRMAN


Shareholders request that executive compensation disclosures are made annually and welcomes stockholder input on our compensation philosophy, policies and practices. Such annual vote complements our goal of creating and implementing a compensation philosophy, objectives, programs and practices that enhance stockholder value, and can maximize accountability and communication.

Although the vote is non-binding, the Board and the compensation committee will review the voting results in making a decision as to the policy to be adopted by the Board on the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation. As required by the Dodd-Frank Act, this vote does not overrule any decisions by the Board of Directors will not create or imply any change to or any additional fiduciary dutiesadopt an enduring policy, and amend the governing documents as necessary in order that 2 separate people hold the office of the Chairman and the office of the CEO.

Whenever possible, the Chairman of the Board shall be an Independent Director.
The Board has the discretion to select a Temporary Chairman of Directors and willthe Board who is not restrictan Independent Director to serve while the Board is seeking an Independent Chairman of the Board on an accelerated basis.
It is a best practice to adopt this policy soon. However this policy could be phased in when there is a contract renewal for our current CEO or limit the ability of stockholders generally to make proposals for inclusion in proxy materials related to executive compensation.

Our Board of Directors recommends that you vote for every “ONE YEAR” for the frequencynext CEO transition.

The roles of advisory votingChairman and CEO are fundamentally different and should be held by 2 directors, a CEO and a Chairman
who is completely independent of the CEO and our company. The job of the CEO is to manage the company. The job of the Chairman is to oversee the CEO.
This proposal is important to FleetCor because FleetCor has given the 2 most important jobs in the Company, CEO and Chairman, to one person.
It is especially important to have an independent Board Chairman because FleetCor has a poorly qualified lead director. Lead director Steve Stull's main qualifications for 3-decades is involvement with a firm that has $16 million in annual revenue compared to the market cap of $18 Billion for FleetCor. Mr. Stull has 24-years excessive tenure on compensationthe FleetCor board. As director tenure goes up director independence goes down.

Executive pay was rejected by 40% of FleetCor shares in 2023 when a 5% rejection is often the Company upon receipt of an oral or written request, submittednorm at well performing companies. Plus it takes much more shareholder conviction to vote against executive pay than to simply follow the following proposal:

Proposal 5 — Special Shareholder Meeting Improvement

Shareholders ask our board to take the steps necessary to amend the appropriate company governing documents to give the owners of a combined 10% of our outstanding common stock the power to call a special shareholder meeting. This includes that each share shall have an equal right per share to formally participate in the calling for a special shareholder meeting.

The current FleetCor Technologies right to call for a special shareholder meeting is like a bait and switch right. The bait is the 25% figure which seems favorable.

However the 25% figure goes downhill fast. Only non-street name shares have a right to call a special shareholder meeting. Thus if one makes the reasonable estimate that 50% ofBoard's recommendation. And FleetCor stock is non-street name stock, it means that our current requirement that 25% of shares are needed to call for a special shareholder meeting translates into 50% of this one category of stock and all other FleetCor shares are 100% excluded.

disappointment since its $315 price in January 2020.

The next downhill bump is that all shares not owned for one full continuous year are 100% excluded. Thus the owners of such 50% of FleetCor stock could determine that they own 65% of the category of FleetCor stock that can call a special shareholder meeting if they include the shares that are owned for less than a full continuous year. Thus a somewhat favorable figure of 25% can translate into an unfavorable 65% of shares to call a special shareholder meeting.

The 10% figure, that gives each share an equal right to formally participate in calling for a special shareholder meeting, is also reasonable because the laws of some states mandate that 10% of shares be able to call a Special shareholder meeting. Another sign that a 10% of shares is reasonable is that a number of companies that have a 25% figure then allow the 10% figure to apply to one shareholder who owns 10% of shares.

Calling for a special shareholder meeting is hardly ever used by shareholders but the main point of the right to call for a special shareholder meeting is that it gives shareholders at least significant standing to engage effectively with management. Management will have an incentive to genuinely engage with shareholders, instead of stonewalling, if shareholders seeking engagement with management will have a realistic Plan B option of calling a special shareholder meeting.

Please vote yes: Special Shareholder Meeting Improvement —Independent Board Chairman - Proposal 54

The Board believes that it should have the flexibility to consider all relevant factors and select the most appropriate leadership structure for the Company’s circumstances, at any given time. The current Board leadership structure, together with the Board’s other practices described below and elsewhere in this proposal.

The appointment of a meaningfulLead Independent Director precludes the need to permanently separate the role of CEO and balanced right for shareholdersChairman of the Board. Currently, Mr. Stull, an independent Director, is the Lead Independent Director.
Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide the Board with the flexibility to calldetermine the optimal leadership structure, including separating the positions of Chair and CEO if circumstances warrant. The Board believes that the Directors are best positioned to lead this evaluation given their knowledge of the Company’s leadership team, strategic goals, opportunities and challenges. When the Board established the position of a special meetingLead Independent Director, it assigned the following powers and the proposed decreaseresponsibilities:
Preside at all meetings of the Board at which the Chairman or any Vice Chairman of the Board is not present;
Preside over executive sessions of the non-employee directors;
Serve as liaison between the non-employee directors and the Chairman and the CEO;
Call meetings of non-employee directors, with appropriate notice;
Coordinate with the Chairman and CEO on meeting schedules, agendas and information provided to the Board;
Be available for consultation with significant stockholders if so requested; and
Exercise and perform such other powers and duties as may be assigned to the Lead Independent Director by the Board from time to time.
Most companies in the percentageS&P 500 do not take a rigid approach to Board leadership structure. According to a 2023 report on Board Leadership and Structure by the Conference Board, 76% of shares requiredcompanies in the S&P 500 provide their boards with flexibility to call a special meetingdetermine its leadership structure and only 17% state that the CEO and Chair role should be separated. In addition, there is neither necessary norno evidence supporting the claim that an independent Chair would improve the Company’s or the Board’s effectiveness. Instead, the Board believes that the current Board leadership structure leads to certain efficiencies and allows the Company to speak with one, clear, unified voice as it tackles the many challenges and opportunities it faces.
Moreover, Corpay utilizes robust corporate governance practices, as described in more detail in the Corpay, Inc. Corporate Governance Guidelines at https://investor.corpay.com, including maintaining strong, independent oversight on behalf of stockholders and consistently ensuring that each Board committee is led by and composed of independent Directors.
Given the demonstrated successes of the Company’s Chairman and CEO, the robust role and responsibilities of our Lead Independent Director and Corpay’s strong Board and corporate governance practices, the Board believes it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

The Company currently providesBoard of Directors believes that shareholders holdingthis proposal is not in aggregate at least 25% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock on a “net long” basis may request a special meeting. A 25% threshold, which is common among public companies, strikes an appropriate balance between avoiding an imprudent use of Company and shareholder resources to address the special interests of a select group of shareholders,

while at the same time ensuring that shareholders holding a meaningful minority of our outstanding shares have a mechanism to call a special meeting if they deem it appropriate.

Special meetings require the expenditure of considerable time, effort and resources, including significant costs in legal and administrative fees, costs for preparing, printing and distributing materials and soliciting proxies, and diversion of Board and management time away from overseeing and running our business. Accordingly, special meetings should be limited to circumstances where shareholders holding a meaningful minority of the Company’s common stock believe a matter is sufficiently urgent or extraordinary to justify considering such matters between annual meetings. By reducing the ownership threshold to 10%, a small minority of shareholders could use the special meeting mechanism to advance their own more narrow agenda, without regard to the broaderbest interests of the Company and its other shareholders.

Nor is such a measure necessary to enable the views of particular shareholders to be expressed. The Company maintains a robust shareholder engagement program with a track record of taking action in direct response to shareholder feedback. Along with strong corporate governance practices, including a proxy access provision and annual director elections with majority voting, this providesor our shareholders with numerous avenues to make their views knownstockholders and to communicate with our Board, management, and other shareholders to effect change. We encourage and facilitate regular communication with large and small shareholders about important issues relating to our business and governance and regularly incorporate feedback from those engagements into our governing documents, policies, and practices.

For example, and as described under “FLEETCOR At a Glance” above, we have taken decisive action in recent years around our shareholder outreach initiatives and we believe that our compensation practices address the feedback we received. Our stockholder engagement ensured that we heard the feedback of our shareholders – in addition to generous access to the management team, after we mailed the 2022 proxy, but before the 2022 stockholder meeting, we offered the opportunity to discuss our proxy with our top 10 stockholders (as of December 31, 2021).

The Board of Directors unanimously recommends that you vote AGAINST Proposal 5 for the ability“AGAINST” this proposal.

Other BusinessTABLE OF CONTENTS

21. OTHER BUSINESS

We know of no other business to be considered at the meeting and the deadline for shareholders to submit proposals or nominations has passed. However, if other matters are properly presented at the meeting, or at any
adjournment or

postponement of the meeting, and you have properly submitted your proxy, then the named proxies will vote your shares on those matters according to their best judgment.

22. BOARD LEADERSHIP
Our corporate governance guidelines provide that our Board will include a majority of independent directors. Our CEO serves as the Chairman of the Board and has served as such since 2003. While we believe this leadership structure has been effective, since 2020 a Lead Independent Director has served as a representative of the independent, non-employee directors of the Board and exercises additional powers and responsibilities in connection with Board meetings. The Lead Independent Director will serve a one-year term, which expires at each annual meeting of shareholders. Mr. Stull has served as Lead Independent Director since 2020, with his term ending at the annual meeting. The Board expects that, if elected at the annual meeting, Mr. Stull will be appointed to serve another term as Lead Independent Director until the 2025 annual meeting.
Mr. Stull is the Founder and CEO of Advantage Capital Partners, a private equity firm, which, since formation, has invested $4.1 billion in over 900 companies, spanning a diverse array of industry sectors. Prior to founding Advantage Capital Partners, Mr. Stull served for nine years as an executive in the investment department of General American Life Insurance Company, heading its securities division and personally managing its high yield, convertible, and preferred stock portfolios. Mr. Stull has served as a director for public and private companies, including serving as member of audit and compensation committees.
Mr. Stull is nationally recognized for his leadership efforts in small business capital formation, particularly for businesses located in distressed or underserved communities. He was recognized by Ernst & Young as Entrepreneur of the Year for his sponsorship of entrepreneurship in Louisiana. Because of Mr. Stull’s extensive experience serving customers similar to the Company, his guidance and advice as a member of the Board has been instrumental in the achievement of 20% CAGR Adjusted EPS growth since going public in 2010. As a highly accomplished executive, his intimate knowledge of the Company’s business experienced through many business cycles has made him a highly effective Company director and an extraordinarily qualified Lead Independent Director. Also, he holds an MBA and bachelor’s degree in finance and economics from Washington University in
St. Louis. He has earned the Fellow Life Management Institute/Master designation and the right to use the Chartered Financial Analyst designation.
The Lead Independent Director has the following powers and responsibilities:
preside at all meetings of the Board at which the Chairman of the Board is not present
preside over executive sessions of the non-employee directors
serve as liaison between the non-employee directors and the Chairman and the CEO
call meetings of non-employee directors, with appropriate notice
coordinate with the Chairman and CEO on meeting schedules, agendas and information provided to the Board
be available for consultation with significant shareholder if so requested and
exercise and perform such other powers and duties as may be assigned to the Lead Independent Director by the Board from time to time
Our corporate governance guidelines provide that our non- management directors will meet in executive session, without management present, as frequently as they deem appropriate, and they typically meet in executive session at the time of each regular Board meeting. The Lead
Independent Director presides during the meeting of independent directors, and acts as a liaison between the non-management directors and the Chairman and CEO in connection with each regular meeting.
We believe that having a combined Chairman and CEO, balanced with a Lead Independent Director, as well as a Board otherwise comprised solely of independent directors who meet regularly in executive session and independent chairs for the Board’s audit committee, compensation committee and governance committee and information technology and security committee provides an effective form of Board leadership and an appropriate balance between strategy development and independent oversight. The Board believes that having our CEO serve as Chairman of the Board facilitates the Board’s decision-making processes because Mr. Clarke possesses detailed and in-depth knowledge of the issues, opportunities and

challenges facing the Company and its business. Accordingly, he is best positioned to develop agendas that ensure the Board’s time and attention is focused on the most critical matters. The combined role enables decisive
leadership, ensures accountability and enhances our ability to communicate our message and strategy clearly and consistently to our shareholders, employees and customers.

does not know a reasonable time before making the proxy solicitations will be presented at the annual meeting or any other matters which may properly come before the annual meeting and any postponements or adjournments thereto.

Householding of Proxy Materials

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (such as banks and brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy statements and annual reports with respect to two or more shareholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement addressed to those shareholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” potentially means extra convenience for shareholders and cost savings for companies.

This year, a number of banks and brokers with account holders who are shareholders will be “householding” our proxy materials. A single proxy statement will be delivered to multiple shareholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected shareholders. Once you have received notice from your bank or broker that it will be “householding” communications to your address, “house- holding”“householding” will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in “householding” and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement, please notify your bank or broker, or direct your written request to FLEETCOR Technologies,Corpay, Inc., Attention: Corporate Secretary, 3280 Peachtree Road, Suite 2400, Atlanta, Georgia 30305, HOUSEHOLDING, and we will deliver a separate copy of the proxy statement upon request. Shareholders who currently receive multiple copies of the proxy statement and annual report at their address and would like to request “householding” of their communications should contact their bank or broker.

24.23. APPENDIX A

Management’s Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income Per Diluted Share

We have defined the non-GAAP measure adjusted net income as net income as reflected in our statement of income, adjusted to eliminate (a) non-cash stock based compensation expense related to share based compensation awards, (b) amortization of deferred financing costs, discounts and intangible assets, amortization of the premium recognized on the purchase of receivables, and our proportionate share of amortization of intangible assets at our equity method investment, (c) integration and deal related costs, and (d) other non-recurring items, including unusual credit losses, occurring largely due to COVID-19, the impact of discrete tax items, impairment charges, asset write-offs, restructuring costs, gains due to disposition of assets/businesses, loss on extinguishment of debt, and legal settlements. We calculate adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share to eliminate the effect of items that we do not consider indicative of our core operating performance.

We have defined the non-GAAP measure adjusted net income per diluted share as the calculation previously noted divided by the weighted average diluted shares outstanding as reflected in our statement of income.

Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share are supplemental measures of operating performance that do not represent and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, net income per diluted share or cash flow from operations, as determined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP. We believe it is useful to exclude non-cash share-based compensation expense from adjusted net income because non-cash equity grants made at a certain price and point in time do not necessarily reflect how our business is performing at any particular time and share based compensation expense is not a key measure of our core operating performance. We also believe that amortization expense can vary substantially from company to company and from period to period depending upon their financing and accounting methods, the fair value and average expected life of their acquired intangible assets, their capital structures and the method by which their assets were acquired; therefore, we have excluded amortization expense from our adjusted net income. We also believe that integration and deal related costs and one-time non-recurring expenses, gains, losses, and impairment charges do not necessarily reflect how our investments and business are performing. We adjust net income for the tax effect of each of these non-tax items.
