holders may recommend director candidates for general consideration by the Corporate Governance Committee by submitting the individual’s name, qualifications and the other information set forth in our Bylaws applicable to director nominees by stockholders to the Corporate Secretary of the Company. The Corporate Governance Committee evaluates candidates recommended by stockholders against the same criteria and pursuant to the same policies, procedures and processes applicable to the evaluation of candidates proposed by other sources. Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability ACI believes businesses have an increasingly important mandate to operate responsibly, and we aim to operate in a way that is socially, environmentally and financially sustainable. We find ways to improve the lives of our employees and positively impact the communities in which we live and work. ESG Governance Given the breadth of ESG matters for a company of our size and scale, our ESG governance structure includes four groups:

| • |     | The Board of Directors, through the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, has oversight responsibility to implement and review the Company’s ESG programs and practices. Various committees of the Board also review relevant aspects of the Company’s ESG programs and practices. The Board reviews progress made against our ESG priorities and provides the final review and approval of our annual sustainability report. |

| • |     | Executive Leadership Team members provide guidance and manage the execution of ESG priorities, especially those aligned to their business units. |

| • |     | Key Senior Leadership Team members are dedicated to advancing ESG priorities. They also provide day-to-day initiative management. |

| • |     | Working groups assembled from employee volunteers help advance the implementation of specific initiatives. |

Sustainable Solutions We recognize the essential role digital payment systems play in our modern economy. Real-time payments, also known as instant payments, are boosting financial inclusion in countries around the world—particularly among women, the young, and very low-incomecitizens—as well as digital inclusion, an essential stepping stone to modern society. ACI is proud to be a global leader in real-time payments, offering products and services that drive inclusion in and equitable access to the digital economy. Additionally, digital payments eliminate the need for paper-based bills and payments, saving trees the world needs to provide oxygen, improve air quality, conserve water, support wildlife and mitigate climate change. Corporate Social Responsibility Initiatives We are committed to doing good for all our stakeholders, including our investors, customers, business partners, employees, and the communities we serve. We publish an annual Sustainability Report that is aligned to Sustainability Standards Board (SASB) and Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) reporting
