 condition and cash flows. Acquisitions, strategic investments, new businesses, joint ventures, divestitures and other transactions we enter into could fail to achieve strategic objectives, disrupt our ongoing operations or result in operating difficulties, liabilities and expenses, harm our business and negatively impact our results of operations. We may evaluate and consider a wide array of potential strategic transactions as part of our overall business strategy, including business combinations, acquisitions and dispositions of certain businesses, technologies, services, products and other assets, as well as joint ventures, strategic investments, and commercial and strategic partnerships. These transactions may involve significant challenges and risks. We have previously acquired or invested in, and continue to seek to acquire or invest in, businesses, technologies, regulatory licenses or other assets that could complement or grow our business, including new or similar lines of business adjacent to or outside of our existing infrastructure or geographic presence. As our company continues growing, the pace and scale of our acquisitions and investments may correspondingly increase. For example, we acquired control of PayNow, a prominent payment gateway services provider in Taiwan, on May 1, 2023. Prior to being acquired, PayNow had been a supplier to our hospitality products in connection with its consumer-to-businesspayment gateway services. We acquired PayNow in order to supplement and strengthen our service offerings in the payment sector. We plan to develop our regional payment services capacity in various jurisdictions through acquisitions of regional players carrying local licenses and expect to continue explore strategic acquisition opportunities. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in identifying, negotiating and consummating favorable transaction opportunities. These potential transactions could create significant challenges and risks, regardless of whether they are ultimately completed, including risks that:

| • |     | the transaction may not advance our business strategy or may hinder our growth, profitability or reputation, or 
 fail to generate a satisfactory return on our investment;                                                       |

| • |     | we may fail to secure necessary regulatory approvals or satisfy other closing conditions in a prompt manner, or 
 at all;                                                                                                         |

| • |     | the transaction may divert management’s attention or incur significant acquisition and transaction costs; |

| • |     | the transactions may entail further regulatory burdens, including local and international regulatory burdens from 
 overseas operations, that could impact our business in unanticipated and negative ways;                           |

| • |     | integrating systems, culture or management of the acquired business could be difficult; |

| • |     | the anticipated benefits or synergies from the transaction may not be realized within an expected time period
