Prior Equity Awards 2022 PSU Awards In 2022, we granted to our Named Executive Officers PSUs that could be earned based on relative total shareholder return performance (“rTSR awards”). The rTSR awards had a three-year performance period beginning on March 1, 2022, and ending on February 28, 2025. Among the current Named Executive Officers, only Mr. Behrens and Mr. Silva received these rTSR awards in 2022. For the rTSR awards, we will measure ACI’s total shareholder return relative to the S&P MidCap 400 Index over the three-year performance period described above. Based on performance relative to the S&P MidCap 400 Index, the rTSR awards could have been earned as illustrated in the following table:

| Percentile Ranking |     | Payout Percentage |
| <25th              |     | 0%                |
| 25th               |     | 50%               |
| 50th               |     | 95%               |
| 55th               |     | 100%              |
| >=75th             |     | 200%              |

The 2022 award performance period ended in fiscal 2025 and therefore performance will be discussed in next year’s proxy statement. 2023 PSU Awards As previously disclosed, for PSU awards granted in 2023, we set goals for Revenue Net of Interchange Growth (60% weighting) and Net Adjusted EBITDA Margin (40% weighting) annually for each annual period within the performance period to ensure that the goals are appropriately rigorous and that the results relative to the goals are not disproportionately impacted by unforeseeable market factors outside our executives’ control. One-thirdof the target PSUs awarded in 2023 (“Tranche 1”) was tied to 2023 Revenue Net of Interchange Growth and 2023 Net Adjusted EBITDA Margin goals that the Compensation Committee established based on ACI’s annual operating plan. The remaining two-thirdsof the target shares awarded are tied to the Revenue Net of Interchange Growth and Net Adjusted EBITDA Margin goals for 2024 and 2025 fiscal years (“Tranche 2” and “Tranche 3”). The goals for Tranche 2 were established by the Compensation Committee in fiscal 2024, and therefore, in accordance with SEC rules, the grant date fair value associated with Tranche
