**Dear Fellow Stockholders:**

It is clear that 2025 marked a difficult year from a macro perspective and a changing geopolitical landscape slowed some of the progress we were making against our Evolve 2025 strategy. The Board and management team remained committed to navigating these industry shifts, embracing change, and positioning the Company for sustainable long-term success.

Notably, despite this challenging environment and market headwinds, our management team, under Devin McGranahan's leadership, demonstrated resilience and a steadfast focus on delivering for our customers. We have achieved several key milestones over the last three years, including a much-improved revenue profile, a meaningful acceleration of our digital business, and a consumer services business that now approaches 15% of our annual revenues, almost double where it was just a few years ago. These accomplishments are a testament to the dedication and adaptability of the management team and our employees, whose commitment drives our progress. Please see "Business Overview and 2025 Performance Highlights" beginning on page [39](#a_027).

**Our Beyond Strategy**

As we move forward, the Board's active role in shaping and overseeing Western Union's strategic direction remains central to our journey. Through regular reviews and open dialogue with management, we strive to ensure our strategy aligns with evolving market trends and stakeholder expectations. At our November 2025 Investor Day, we introduced our Beyond strategy---a blueprint for sustainable growth and competitiveness in the digital era---which is intended to move the Company forward by continuing to advance our digital capabilities, meeting our customers where and how they want to interact with us, investing in and broadening our consumer services offerings, and expanding our payments infrastructure around the globe. This framework underscores our commitment to innovation, and operational excellence, ensuring Western Union is well-positioned to capture new opportunities and deliver long-term value.

**Solid Corporate Governance Framework**

Our commitment to strong governance is paramount. To support our strategic efforts, effective risk management, focus on superior compliance, and ongoing oversight and evaluation of our management team, as well as thoughtful board composition, remain cornerstones of our governance framework.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The
 Board, in close collaboration with its committees and management, identifies, evaluates,
 and addresses key risks, including financial, operational, regulatory and emerging risks,
 allowing us to anticipate challenges and act proactively to protect your interests.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The
 Board effectively oversees and collaborates with the management team to ensure they have
 the resources and guidance to deliver on our objectives. Among other things, accountability,
 ethical leadership, and a culture that fosters innovation and operational rigor are at the
 heart of our approach.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We
 strive for a Board that includes directors with diversity of experiences, viewpoints and
 perspectives, independence, and a broad range of expertise, all qualities essential for effective
 oversight of both established and emerging risks. Through rigorous annual evaluations we
 ensure our directors are equipped to guide the Company's evolving strategy. Notably, we have added five new directors since 2020, including our newest director, Milind Pant, who joined the Board on March 13, 2026.

**Commitment to Stockholder Engagement, Responsiveness & Long-Term Value**

Additionally, fundamental to these governance principles is meaningful engagement with our stockholders. This year, we expanded our outreach efforts, reaching out to stockholders representing approximately 70% of our outstanding shares, and gained valuable insights into executive compensation and other governance matters. Your feedback has informed updates to our compensation programs, detailed in this Proxy Statement beginning on page [34](#a_022), and we remain committed to ongoing dialogue.

Every decision we make is guided by our responsibility to foster long-term value for you, our stockholders. We are committed to balancing short-term performance with prudent investment in future opportunities, always focused on sustainable returns and strengthening Western Union's foundation.

Thank you for your ongoing trust and support. We value your engagement and look forward to working together to advance Western Union's success in the years ahead.

**Key Features Of Our Executive Compensation Program**

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**What We <u>Do</u>** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**What We <u>Do</u>** |
| ![](wu4500131_def14a1x13x1.jpg) | **Pay-for-performance and at-risk compensation.**<br> A significant portion of our targeted annual compensation is performance-based and/or subject to forfeiture ("at-risk"), with emphasis on variable pay to reward short- and long-term performance measured against pre-established objectives informed by our Company's strategy. |
| ![](wu4500131_def14a1x13x1.jpg) | **Align compensation with stockholder interests.**<br> Performance measures for incentive compensation are linked to the overall performance of the Company and are designed to be aligned with the creation of long-term stockholder value. |
| ![](wu4500131_def14a1x13x1.jpg) | **Emphasis on future pay opportunity vs. current pay.**<br> Our long-term incentive awards are equity-based, use multi-year vesting provisions to encourage retention, and are designed to align our NEOs' interests with long-term stockholder interests. For 2025, the annual long-term equity awards comprised approximately 77% of the total target annual compensation for our CEO and, on average, approximately 57% of the total target annual compensation for our other NEOs. |
| ![](wu4500131_def14a1x13x1.jpg) | **Mix of performance metrics.**<br> The Company utilizes a mix of performance metrics that emphasize both absolute performance goals, which provide the primary links between incentive compensation and the Company's strategic operating plan and financial results, and a relative payout modifier, which measures the Company's relative Total Shareholder Return ("TSR") versus the S&P MidCap 400 Index. |
| ![](wu4500131_def14a1x13x1.jpg) | **Stockholder engagement.**<br> The Compensation Committee Chair and members of management regularly engage with stockholders to better understand their perspectives on the Company's executive compensation program, the Say-on-Pay vote, and our related disclosures. |
| ![](wu4500131_def14a1x13x1.jpg) | **"Clawback" policies.**<br> Pursuant to the Company's Dodd-Frank Clawback and Forfeiture Policy (the "Dodd-Frank Policy"), the Company is required to recoup certain incentive compensation from covered officers in the event of a financial restatement. In addition, the Company maintains a separate Misconduct Clawback and Forfeiture Policy (the "Misconduct Policy") which provides that the Company may, in its sole discretion, recoup certain incentive compensation, including time-based equity awards, from covered officers in the event the covered officer engages in compliance misconduct or detrimental conduct. |
| ![](wu4500131_def14a1x13x1.jpg) | **Robust stock ownership guidelines.**<br> We require our executive officers to own a meaningful amount of Company stock to align them with long-term stockholder interests (6x base salary in the case of our CEO and 3x base salary for our other NEOs). |
| ![](wu4500131_def14a1x13x1.jpg) | <br> **Include leadership and compliance metrics in compensation program.**<br> **Multi-year vesting and/or performance periods for long-term incentive awards.**<br> **Independent compensation consultant retained by the Compensation Committee.**<br> **"Double trigger" severance benefits in the event of a change-in-control.**<br> **Maximum payout caps for annual cash incentive compensation and PSUs.** |

**Named Executive Officers Compensation**

A key principle of the executive compensation program is ensuring that senior leaders are aligned around common performance goals. On balance, 78%-92% of total target compensation is performance-based and at-risk, comprised of 57%-77% long-term incentives, 15%-21% in annual incentives, and 8%-22% in base salary.

**>>** **Board Of Directors Information**

**Proposal 1: Election Of Directors**

At the 2026 Annual Meeting, all director nominees will be elected for one-year terms.

The terms of each director if elected or re-elected, as the case may be, will expire at the 2027 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Each director will hold office until his or her successor has been elected and qualified or until the director's earlier resignation or removal. See the "Board of Directors Information" section of this Proxy Statement for information concerning all nominees.

The Board currently consists of twelve directors. The Company's By-Laws require that directors be elected by the majority of votes cast with respect to such director in uncontested elections (the number of shares voted "for" a director must exceed the number of votes cast "against" that director, with abstentions and broker non-votes not counted as cast either "for" or "against"). In a contested election (a situation in which the number of nominees exceeds the number of directors to be elected), the standard for election of directors will be a plurality of the shares represented in person or by proxy at any such meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors.

Under the Company's By-Laws, if an incumbent director does not receive the majority of votes cast, the director will promptly tender his or her resignation to the Board of Directors. The Corporate Governance Committee, or such other committee as may be designated by the Board of Directors, will make a recommendation to the Board of Directors as to whether to accept or reject the resignation of such incumbent director, or whether other action should be taken. The Board of Directors will act on the resignation, taking into account the Corporate Governance Committee's recommendation, and publicly disclose (by a press release, a filing with the SEC or other broadly disseminated means of communication) its decision regarding the tendered resignation and the rationale behind the decision within 90 days following certification of the election results. If such incumbent director's resignation is not accepted by the Board of Directors, such director will continue to serve until the next annual meeting and until his or her successor is duly elected or his or her earlier resignation or removal. In the case of a vacancy, the Board of Directors may appoint a new director as a replacement, may leave the vacancy unfilled or may reduce the number of directors on the Board.

Your shares will be voted as you instruct via the voting procedures described on the Proxy Card or the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, or as you specify on your Proxy Card(s) if you elect to vote by mail. If unforeseen circumstances (such as death or disability) require the Board of Directors to substitute another person for any of the director nominees, your shares will be voted for that other person.

**Independence Of Directors**

The Board of Directors has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines, which contain the standards that the Board of Directors uses to determine whether a director is independent. A director is not independent under these categorical standards if:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The director is, or has been within the last three years, an employee
 of Western Union, or an immediate family member of the director is, or has been within the last three years, an executive officer of
 Western Union.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The director has received, or has an immediate family member who has
 received, during any 12-month period within the last three years, more than $120,000 in direct compensation from Western
 Union, other than director and committee fees and pension or other forms of deferred compensation for prior service (provided such
 compensation is not contingent in any way on continued service).

[**Table of Contents**](#toc)

**>>** **Corporate Governance**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• (i) The director is a current partner or employee of a firm that is
 Western Union's internal or external auditor; (ii) the director has an immediate family member who is a current
 partner of such a firm; (iii) the director has an immediate family member who is a current employee of such a firm and
 personally works on Western Union's audit; or (iv) the director or an immediate family member was within the last three years
 a partner or employee of such firm and personally worked on Western Union's audit within that time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The director or an immediate family member is, or has been within the
 last three years, employed as an executive officer of another company where any of Western Union's present executive officers
 at the same time serves or served on that company's compensation committee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The director is a current employee, or an immediate family member is a
 current executive officer, of a company that has made payments to, or received payments from, Western Union for property or services
 in an amount which, in any of the last three fiscal years, exceeded the greater of $1 million or 2% of such other
 company's consolidated gross revenues.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The director is a current employee, or an immediate family member is a
 current executive officer, of a company which was indebted to Western Union, or to which Western Union was indebted, where the total
 amount of either company's indebtedness to the other, in any of the last three fiscal years, exceeded 5% or more of
 such other company's total consolidated assets.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The director or an immediate family member is a current officer,
 director, or trustee of a charitable organization where Western Union's (or an affiliated charitable foundation's)
 annual discretionary charitable contributions to the charitable organization, in any of the last three fiscal years,
 exceeded the greater of $1 million or 2% of such charitable organization's consolidated gross revenues.

The Board has reviewed the independence of the current directors under the Company's categorical standards and the rules of the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") and found Ms. Cameron-Doe, Mr. Cole, Ms. Deering, Ms. Holden, Mr. Joerres, Mr. Miles, Mr. Murphy, Mr. Pant, Mr. Siegmund, Ms. Sun, and Mr. Trujillo to be independent.

**Board Leadership Structure**

The Board has a non-executive Chair. This position is independent from management. The Chair sets the agendas for and presides over the Board meetings, as well as meetings of the independent directors. Our CEO is a member of the Board and participates in its meetings. The Board believes that this leadership structure is appropriate for the Company at this time because it allows for independent oversight of management, increases management accountability, and encourages an objective evaluation of management's performance relative to compensation.

The Board will determine its leadership structure in a manner that it determines to be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders at the time. The Chair of the Board and CEO positions may be filled by the same individual or separated, as deemed appropriate by the Board.

The Chair of the Board, among other things:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• presides at, and chairs, Board
meetings and meetings of stockholders;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• establishes agendas for each
Board meeting in consultation with the chairs of applicable committees of the Board;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• leads executive sessions of
the Board;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• has authority to call Board
meetings;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• leads the Board in discussions
concerning the CEO's performance and CEO succession;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• approves meeting schedules for
the Board;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• approves information sent to
the Board;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• if requested by major stockholders,
is available for consultation and direct communication; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• performs such other duties and
responsibilities as requested by the Board.

However, if the Chair of the Board is not independent, the independent directors of the Board shall elect a Lead Director.

**Risk Oversight**

The Board regularly devotes time during its meetings to review and discuss the most significant risks facing the Company and management's process for identifying, prioritizing, and responding to those risks. During these discussions, the CEO, the Chief Financial Officer, the Chief Legal Officer, the Chief Risk and Compliance Officer, the Chief Compliance Officer (the "CCO"), the Chief Information Security Officer, the Chief Privacy Officer, and the Chief Internal Auditor present management's process for assessment of risks, a description of the most significant risks facing the Company, and any mitigating factors, plans, or policies in place to address and monitor those risks. The Board has also delegated certain risk oversight responsibilities to its committees. Our management team, led by the Chief Risk and Compliance Officer, utilizes a range of processes to identify risks associated with our strategy and business, financial activities and reporting, legal and regulatory issues, information technology, including cybersecurity and artificial intelligence ("AI"), and people-related skills and availability. In 2025, management's risk assessment process included a cybersecurity risk assessment involving, among other things, an evaluation by external annual audits (service organization controls ("SOC") 2 report and payment card industry ("PCI") compliance). For more information on cybersecurity oversight and strategy, please refer to Part I, Item 1C, "Cybersecurity" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Key Board Committee Oversight Responsibilities** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Audit Committee.**<br>Consistent with the NYSE listing standards, to which the Company is subject, the Audit Committee bears responsibility for oversight of the Company's policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management and must discuss with management the major risk exposures facing the Company and the steps the Company has taken to monitor and control such exposures. The Audit Committee is also responsible for assisting Board oversight of the Company's compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, which represent many of the most significant risks the Company faces. During the Audit Committee's discussion of risk, the Company's CEO, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Legal Officer, Chief Risk and Compliance Officer, CCO, Chief Information Security Officer, Chief Privacy Officer, and Chief Internal Auditor present information and participate in discussions with the Audit Committee regarding risk and risk management. Risks discussed regularly include those related to global economic and political trends, business and financial performance, legal and regulatory matters, cybersecurity and information technology, data privacy, competition, legislative developments, sustainability, and other matters.<br>**Compliance Committee.** <br>While the Board committee with primary oversight of risk is the Audit Committee, the Board has delegated to other committees the oversight of risks within their areas of responsibility and expertise. For example, in light of the breadth and number of responsibilities that the Audit Committee must oversee, and the importance of the evaluation and management of the Company's compliance programs, policies, and key risk exposures associated with anti-money laundering ("AML"), sanctions, anti-corruption, fraud prevention, consumer protection, and privacy laws, including investigations or other matters that may arise in relation to such laws, the Board formed the Compliance Committee in 2013 to assist the Audit Committee and the Board with oversight of those areas. Oversight of the Company's use of artificial intelligence was informally added in 2024 and formally added in 2025.

>> **Corporate Governance**

**Chief Executive Officer Succession Planning**

The Company's Board of Directors has developed a governance framework for CEO succession planning that is intended to provide for a talent-rich leadership organization that can drive the Company's strategic objectives. Under its governance framework, the Board of Directors:

• Reviews succession planning for the CEO on an annual basis. As part of this process, the CEO reviews
the annual performance of each member of the management team with the Board and the Board engages in a discussion with the CEO and the
Chief People Officer regarding each team member and the team member's development;

• Maintains a confidential plan to address any unexpected short-term absence of the CEO and identifies
candidates who could act as interim CEO in the event of any such unexpected absence; and

• Ideally three to five years before the retirement of the current CEO, manages the succession process
and determines the current CEO's role in that process.

**Communications With The Board Of Directors**

Any stockholder of the Company or other interested party who desires to contact the non-management directors either as a group or individually, or Mr. McGranahan in his capacity as a director, may do so by writing to: The Western Union Company, Board of Directors, 7001 E. Belleview Avenue, Denver, Colorado 80237. Communications that are intended specifically for non-management directors should be addressed to the attention of the Chair of the Corporate Governance Committee. All communications will be forwarded to the Chair of the Corporate Governance Committee unless the communication is specifically addressed to another member of the Board, in which case, the communication will be forwarded to that director.

**Board Attendance At Annual Meeting Of Stockholders**

Although the Company does not have a formal policy regarding attendance by members of the Board of Directors at the Company's Annual Meeting of Stockholders, it encourages directors to attend. All members of the Board of Directors serving at the time attended the Company's 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, except Mr. Trujillo.

**Presiding Director Of Non-Management Director Meetings**

The non-management directors meet in regularly scheduled executive sessions without management. The Chair of the Board of Directors is the presiding director at these meetings.

**Nomination Of Directors**

The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for nominating directors for election by the stockholders and filling any vacancies on the Board that may occur. The Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for identifying, screening, and recommending candidates to the Board for Board membership. The Corporate Governance Committee does not have any single method for identifying director candidates, but will consider candidates suggested by a wide range of sources, including by any stockholder, director, or officer of the Company. Following a robust process that began in 2025, Mr. Pant was elected to join the Board, effective March 13, 2026. He is standing for election for the first time at the Annual Meeting. Mr. Pant was first identified as a candidate for the Board of Directors by a third-party executive search firm retained by the Corporate Governance Committee and was subsequently interviewed by members of the Board.

The Corporate Governance Committee will consider candidates for election to the Board suggested in writing by a stockholder and will make a recommendation to the Board using the same criteria as it does in evaluating candidates submitted by members of the Board of Directors. Any such suggestions should be submitted to the Corporate Secretary, The Western Union Company, 7001 E. Belleview Avenue, Denver, Colorado 80237. If the Company receives such a suggestion, the Company may request additional information from the candidate to assist in its evaluation.

General criteria for the nomination of director candidates include experience; high ethical standards and integrity; skills, diversity of experiences, viewpoints; and perspectives; ability to make independent analytical inquiries; understanding of the Company's business environment; and willingness to devote adequate time to Board duties–all in the context of an assessment of the perceived needs of the Board at that point in time. The Board does not have a formal policy governing director diversity.

**RETIREMENT POLICY**

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines also require that a director retire effective at the next annual meeting of stockholders following the time such director reaches the age of 75. The Board may waive this requirement for one year if it determines it is in the best interests of our Company. Each director is expected to ensure that other existing and planned future commitments do not materially interfere with the member's service as a Board or Committee member.

**BOARD EVALUATIONS**

Pursuant to our Corporate Governance Guidelines, we evaluate the overall effectiveness of the Board annually. The Board together with the Corporate Governance Committee conducts annual self-evaluations of Board and committee performance, including an evaluation of the effectiveness of the nomination process. In addition, the Board conducts annual evaluations of each individual independent director. Based on feedback from recent Board and Committee evaluations, the Board has updated its committee memberships and added a new director.

**Stockholder Nominees**

Stockholders may submit nominations for director candidates by giving notice to the Corporate Secretary, The Western Union Company, 7001 E. Belleview Avenue, Denver, Colorado 80237. The requirements for the submission of such stockholder nominations are set forth in Article II of the Company's By-Laws, which are available on the "Investor Relations, Corporate Governance" section of the Company's website, www.westernunion.com.

**Submission Of Stockholder Proposals**

Stockholder proposals, including stockholder director nominations, requested to be included in the Company's Proxy Statement for its 2027 Annual Meeting of Stockholders must be received by the Company not later than December 1, 2026. Such stockholder proposals must comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-8, and such nominations must comply with the Company's proxy access By-laws. Otherwise, a stockholder proposal or director nomination to be considered at the Company's 2027 Annual Meeting of Stockholders must be received by the Company no sooner than January 14, 2027 and no later than February 13, 2027 and must comply with the requirements set forth in the Company's By-Laws.

All proposals or nominations a stockholder wishes to submit at the meeting should be directed to corporategovernance@westernunion. com. In addition to satisfying the foregoing requirements and those under the Company's By-Laws, to comply with the universal proxy rules, stockholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than the Company's nominees must provide notice that sets forth the information required by Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act no later than March 15, 2027.

>> **Compensation Of Directors**

**Determination of Director Compensation**

The Compensation and Benefits Committee is responsible for recommending to the Board the compensation of the Company's outside directors. As part of this process, the Compensation and Benefits Committee reviews the outside director compensation program annually to evaluate whether it is competitive with market practices by considering input from Meridian Compensation Partners, LLC ("Meridian"), the Compensation and Benefits Committee's independent compensation consultant, regarding the Company's historical practices with respect to outside director compensation as well as market data for the same peer group used for determining executive compensation.

**Cash Compensation**

In 2025, each outside director (other than our Non-Executive Chair) received the following cash compensation for service on our Board and committees of our Board, which did not change as compared to 2024:

• an annual Board retainer fee of $85,000;

• an annual committee chair retainer fee of $35,000 for the chair of the Audit Committee, $30,000 for
the chair of the Compliance Committee and $25,000 for the chairs of the Compensation and Benefits Committee and the Corporate Governance
Committee; and

• an annual committee member retainer fee of $20,000 for non-chair members of the Audit Committee and
$10,000 for non-chair members of each other committee of our Board.

Cash compensation payable to an outside director will be prorated for any partial years of service on the Board or a committee.

**Equity Compensation**

The 2025 outside director equity awards were granted pursuant to our 2024 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "2024 Plan"). The purpose of these awards is to advance the interests of the Company and its stockholders by encouraging stock ownership by our outside directors and by helping the Company attract, motivate, and retain highly qualified outside directors.

In 2025, all of our outside directors (other than our Non-Executive Chair) were eligible to receive an annual equity grant with a value of $200,000 for service on our Board and committees of our Board, which did not change as compared to the 2024 annual equity grant.

The 2025 equity grant was settled in shares of common stock and had a one-year vesting requirement, subject to pro-rata vesting for a qualifying departure from the Board. For 2025, each outside director had the choice to receive such director's annual retainer fees described above in the form of cash, equity or a combination thereof. Additionally, for 2025, each outside director had the choice to receive such director's annual equity grant in the form of (a) all stock options, (b) all RSUs, (c) a combination of 75% stock options and 25% RSUs, (d) a combination of 50% stock options and 50% RSUs, or (e) a combination of 75% RSUs and 25% stock options.

**Compensation of Our Non-Executive Chair**

In 2025, our Non-Executive Chair received the following compensation in lieu of the compensation described above for our other outside directors, which did not change as compared to 2024:

• an annual retainer fee of $125,000; and

• an annual equity grant with a value of $360,000.

Our Non-Executive Chair has the choice to receive his annual retainer fee in the forms discussed above under "Compensation of Directors—Equity Compensation." The Non-Executive Chair annual equity grant has a one-year vesting condition, subject to pro-rata vesting for a qualifying departure from the Board.

>> **Compensation Of Directors**

**Charitable Contributions**

Outside directors may participate in the Company's gift matching program on the same terms as the Company's executive officers and employees. The Company updated the matching gift program in 2025. Under the updated program, contributions made or directed to be made to an eligible organization, as defined in the program, up to an aggregate amount of $10,000 per calendar year was equally matched by the Company.

**Reimbursements**

Directors are reimbursed for their expenses incurred by attending Board, committee, and stockholder meetings, including those for travel, meals, and lodging. A spouse or other guest may accompany directors on corporate aircraft when the aircraft is already scheduled for business purposes and can accommodate additional passengers. In those cases, there is no aggregate incremental cost to the Company and, as a result, no amount is reflected in the 2025 Director Compensation table.

**Indemnification Agreements**

Each outside director has entered into a Director Indemnification Agreement with the Company to clarify indemnification procedures. Consistent with the indemnification rights already provided to directors of the Company in the Company's Charter, each agreement provides that the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each outside director to the fullest extent permitted or authorized by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware in effect on the date of the agreement or as such laws may be amended or replaced to increase the extent to which a corporation may indemnify its directors.

**Equity Ownership Guidelines**

Each outside director is expected to maintain an equity investment in the Company equal to five times his or her annual cash retainer, which must be achieved within five years of the director's initial election to the Board. The holdings that generally may be counted toward achieving the equity ownership guidelines include outstanding stock awards or units, shares owned jointly with or separately by the director's spouse, and shares purchased on the open market. Unexercised options, whether or not vested, do not count towards determining compliance with the equity ownership guidelines. As of the Record Date, all outside directors have met or, within the applicable period, are expected to meet, these equity ownership guidelines.

>> **Report Of The Audit Committee**

**Report Of The Audit Committee**

The Audit Committee is currently comprised of six independent directors and operates under a written charter adopted by the Board. The Audit Committee reviews the charter at least annually, reviewing it last in December 2025. The charter is available through the "Investor Relations, Corporate Governance" portion of the Company's website www.westernunion.com.

The Board has the ultimate authority for effective corporate governance, including the role of oversight of the management of the Company. The Audit Committee's purpose is to assist the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to the Company's consolidated financial statements, independent registered public accounting firm qualifications and independence, performance of the Company's internal audit function and independent registered public accounting firm, and other matters identified in the Audit Committee Charter. The Audit Committee relies on the expertise and knowledge of management, the internal auditors and the independent registered public accounting firm in carrying out its responsibilities. Management is responsible for the preparation, presentation, and integrity of the Company's consolidated financial statements, accounting and financial reporting principles, internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls, and procedures designed to ensure compliance with accounting standards, applicable laws, and regulations. In addition, management is responsible for objectively reviewing and evaluating the adequacy, effectiveness, and quality of the Company's system of internal control. The Company's independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP, is responsible for performing an independent audit of the consolidated financial statements and for expressing an opinion on the conformity of those financial statements with United States generally accepted accounting principles. The Company's independent registered public accounting firm is also responsible for expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

The Audit Committee engages in an annual evaluation of the independent public accounting firm's qualifications, assessing the firm's quality of service, the firm's sufficiency of resources, the quality of the communication and interaction with the firm, and the firm's independence, objectivity, and professional skepticism. In evaluating and selecting the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, the Audit Committee considers, among other things, historical and recent performance of the firm, an analysis of known significant legal or regulatory proceedings related to the firm, recent Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the "PCAOB") reports regarding the firm, industry experience, audit fee revenues, audit approach, and the independence of the firm. The Audit Committee also periodically considers the advisability and potential impact of selecting a different independent public accounting firm. In addition, the Audit Committee is involved in the lead audit partner selection process.

During fiscal year 2025, the Audit Committee fulfilled its duties and responsibilities as outlined in its charter. Specifically, the Audit Committee, among other actions:

• reviewed and discussed with management and the independent registered public accounting firm the Company's
quarterly earnings press releases, consolidated financial statements, and related periodic reports filed with the SEC;

• reviewed the Company's guidelines and policies that govern the process by which the Company goes
about assessing and managing its exposure to risks, including discussing with management, internal auditors and the independent auditor
their assessment of the Company's major financial risk exposures and the steps that have been taken to monitor and control such
exposures;

• reviewed and discussed with management the Company's processes for managing and assessing cybersecurity
and information technology risks;

• reviewed with management, the independent registered public accounting firm and the internal auditor,
management's assessment of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting, and the effectiveness
of the Company's internal control over financial reporting;

• reviewed with the independent registered public accounting firm, management, and the internal auditor,
as appropriate, the audit scope and plans of both the independent registered public accounting firm and internal auditor;

• reviewed with the independent registered public accounting firm the critical audit matters expected in their report for the 2025 audit;

• met in periodic executive sessions with each of the independent registered public accounting firm, management,
and the internal auditor;

>> **Report Of The Audit Committee**

• received the written disclosures and the annual letter from Ernst & Young LLP provided to us pursuant
to PCAOB Ethics and Independence Rule 3526, Communication with Audit Committees Concerning Independence, concerning their independence
and discussed with Ernst & Young LLP their independence; and

• reviewed and pre-approved all services to be performed by Ernst & Young LLP and the related fees,
as described in Proposal 3–Ratification of Selection of Auditors, and considered whether Ernst & Young LLP's provision
of non-audit services to the Company was compatible with the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm.

The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed with the Company's management and independent registered public accounting firm the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and related footnotes for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, and the independent registered public accounting firm's report on those financial statements. Management represented to the Audit Committee that the Company's financial statements were prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

We have discussed with Ernst & Young LLP the matters required to be discussed with the Audit Committee by the applicable requirements of the PCAOB and the SEC. Such communications include, among other items, matters relating to the conduct of an audit of the Company's consolidated financial statements under the standards of the PCAOB. This review included a discussion with management and the independent registered public accounting firm about the quality (not merely the acceptability) of the Company's accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant estimates and judgments, and the disclosures in the Company's financial statements, including the disclosures relating to critical accounting policies.

In reliance on the review and discussions described above, we recommended to the Board of Directors, and the Board approved, that the audited consolidated financial statements and management's assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting be included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 for filing with the SEC.

**Dear Fellow Stockholders:**

Western Union proudly builds on a legacy of innovation and expanding access to financial services for people everywhere. As detailed in the CD&A, we are undergoing an evolution to transition Western Union into a digital-first, customer-centric company ready to meet the evolving growing demands of the global marketplace. Successfully navigating this transition depends on talented, experienced, and effective leadership. Our executive compensation program is purposefully designed to encourage and reward the performance and attract and retain the talent necessary for the success of this multi-year transition.

**Stockholder Engagement & Responsiveness**

As independent stewards, the Compensation Committee is dedicated to maintaining a balanced, competitive, and reasonable compensation program for our CEO and executive team. Our executive pay program reflects sound governance practices and aligns pay with driving Western Union's long-term success. We were disappointed with the support of 46% of the votes cast on our Say-on-Pay proposal at the 2025 Annual Meeting. We want to assure you that the Committee values feedback from our stockholders. In response to the Say-on-Pay result, we engaged in a robust engagement program to discuss with our stockholders their vote and hear from them on other concerns and topics (see "2025 Say-on-Pay Vote and Stockholder Engagement" on page [36](#a_026)). From our meetings with stockholders representing over 43% of our outstanding shares, we learned that the key factors impacting the 2025 Say-on-Pay vote were the above target annual equity grant for our CEO, concerns regarding pay-for-performance alignment and a desire for a better understanding of how our executive compensation program supports long-term stockholder value creation.

Based on your feedback, the Committee has taken actions to address these concerns, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Approving no above target or one-time awards to our CEO in 2025 (and no such
increase or awards have been made or are anticipated in 2026).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Adjusting our short- and long-term incentive programs for 2026 to eliminate
overlapping performance metrics.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Enhancing proxy disclosures to provide more business
context, detail on Committee decisions, and a scorecard format highlighting performance against targets.

We are confident that these changes, among others, directly reflect your feedback and enhance our executive compensation program and related disclosures. Our primary goal remains to reward performance and align compensation with shareholder results. This commitment is demonstrated by the following compensation results and program features and outcomes:

**Executive Compensation Alignment with Strategy Execution**

The CD&A provides further details about how our executive compensation programs support execution of our Beyond strategy and our evolving value proposition. The Compensation Committee has focused on aligning incentives with the multi-year investments we are making in pricing, products, and technology to strengthen Western Union's market-competitive position. At our 2025 Investor Day, we highlighted our progress in growing digital customers and transactions and improving the end-to-end customer experience. Our program is designed to reinforce that trajectory by tying pay outcomes to key financial, strategic, and customer-centric metrics, as well as broader transformation milestones. This design helps ensure that executive compensation is aligned with value-creation for our employees, the customers who rely on Western Union every day and, most importantly, our stockholders. For a more detailed discussion of the ambitious, measurable goals we have set for 2028 as part of our Beyond strategy, see "Business Overview and 2025 Performance Highlights" on page [39](#a_027).

Management and the Compensation Committee Chair regularly engage with stockholders to better understand their perspectives on the Company's executive compensation program, the Say-on-Pay vote, and our related disclosures. Feedback from these engagements directly informs the Compensation Committee's and the Board's decision-making processes and plays an important role in shaping our compensation program and disclosure approach. The Board values an open dialogue with our stockholders and believes that regular communication with our stockholders and other stakeholders is a critical part of enabling our long-term success.

Our annual Say-on-Pay proposal has historically received strong support, with an average approval level of approximately 94% from the inception of Say-on-Pay through the 2024 Annual Meeting. At our 2025 Annual Meeting, we received support from approximately 46% of the total votes cast on our Say-on-Pay proposal, well below our historical and desired support levels.

**Stockholder Input Driving Compensation Design**

While we maintain an ongoing stockholder engagement program and have a strong track record of incorporating investor feedback into our deliberations and actions, we used this year's engagement process as an opportunity to further expand the scope of our outreach. Our goal was to ensure we fully understood the factors underlying stockholder voting decisions. While perspectives varied, we appreciated that most stockholders expressed support for our pay for performance approach, with concerns largely focused on last year's above target grant to our CEO that was viewed by some stockholders as a one time award. We acknowledge this feedback and remain committed to maintaining disciplined and transparent executive pay practices. A consistent theme across our engagements was a desire for greater insight into specific elements of our compensation program, which we outline below.

**Business Overview and 2025 Performance Highlights**

The Western Union Company is a global leader in providing fast, reliable, and convenient payment solutions to a diverse customer base which includes people and businesses in over 200 countries and territories. Western Union operates at scale in a dynamic regulatory environment and maintains a strong network of agents and client relationships worldwide. In recent years, the Company has embarked on a comprehensive multi-year transformation journey to reposition itself as a digital first, omni-channel financial services provider, responding proactively to evolving market demands and the needs of a diverse, global customer base.

**The Right Leadership Executing on a High-Impact Strategic Transformation**

In 2021, recognizing the need for renewed growth and competitiveness, the Board appointed Devin McGranahan as President and CEO. Under his leadership, Western Union accelerated its transition toward a digital-first model, leveraging the Company's robust retail presence to drive digital adoption and expand its services. The management team, in partnership with the Board, implemented decisive strategic initiatives — redeploying costs to modernize products and platforms, strengthening talent, and expanding into additional products and services, all while maintaining industry leading margins. These actions resulted in more than $150 million in cost redeployments in support of the Company's digital-first strategy, achieving these milestones two years ahead of schedule. These accomplishments have strengthened the Company's foundation for future growth.

Recruiting and motivating skilled, mission-driven individuals with diverse backgrounds is crucial, especially during times of change when business performance may fluctuate. Retaining key leaders and teams ensures stability, preserves institutional knowledge, and supports long-term value for our customers, employees, communities, and stockholders.

**Financial and Operational Highlights**

The impact of our transformation is evident in Western Union's recent performance, with key achievements reflecting a disciplined approach to capital allocation and a steadfast commitment to delivering value to stockholders. Over the past three years, the Company has:

![](wu4500131_def14a1x55x1.jpg)

Despite recent headwinds from macroeconomic conditions and declines in remittance activity, Western Union accomplished many of the strategic priorities laid out in our Evolve 2025 Strategy. The executive team drove a 400-basis-point improvement in the revenue growth rate since 2022, fueled by growth in the branded digital business and a 25% increase in branded digital customers. Consumer Services revenue grew by 80%, supported by product expansion and platform enhancements. While the Company did not meet its overall revenue target for 2025, it achieved its adjusted Earnings Per Share (EPS) goal, maintained industry-leading margins, completed five strategic acquisitions, and demonstrated strong operational discipline.

**Aligning Executive Leadership with Long Term Shareholder Value**

Looking ahead, Western Union is focused on driving long term growth and value creation through disciplined execution of the Beyond strategy — including accelerating digital innovation, expanding market presence, and advancing financial inclusion. The 2025 and 2026 executive compensation programs are structured to maintain our focus on aligning pay with performance and providing the Compensation Committee with effective tools to incentivize, reward, and retain the leadership talent necessary to execute the Company's strategy.

---

**Our Executive Compensation Philosophy and Objectives**

A critical component supporting the Company's transformation is Western Union's executive compensation philosophy, which is grounded in a pay for performance approach and directly ties leadership incentives to the achievement of strategic and financial objectives. The Compensation Committee's philosophy supports:

• **Pay for Performance:** A
 significant portion of executive compensation is at risk and contingent on achieving rigorous
 financial and strategic goals, with rewards earned for advancing the transformation strategy.

• **Transformation Strategy:** Performance
 metrics and incentives are directly tied to the strategic pillars of operational excellence,
 digital innovation, and market expansion, motivating executives to drive progress and deliver
 tangible results.

• **Stockholder Interest Alignment:** Long
 term incentives are structured to promote sustained value creation for stockholders, with
 vesting and payout levels based on both absolute and relative performance measures.

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Our Executive Compensation Philosophy** The Compensation Committee believes the Company's executive compensation program should reward actions and behaviors that build a foundation for the long-term strength and performance of the Company, while also rewarding the achievement of short-term performance goals informed by the Company's strategy. | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Our Executive Compensation Philosophy** The Compensation Committee believes the Company's executive compensation program should reward actions and behaviors that build a foundation for the long-term strength and performance of the Company, while also rewarding the achievement of short-term performance goals informed by the Company's strategy. |

Retaining key leaders and team members through these transitional periods helps ensure continuity, preserves institutional knowledge, and positions the Company to deliver long term value for customers, the communities we serve, and our stockholders. |

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Our Objective** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Guiding Principles** |
| **Pay-for-performance – Hold executives accountable and reward them for achieving financial, strategic, and operating goals** | **Pay-for-Performance:** Pay is significantly performance- based and at-risk, and dependent on achievement of Company, business unit, and individual results. Incentive pay rewards our executives and holds them accountable for results relative to financial and strategic performance measures aligned with the Company's key business priorities while upholding our culture of ethics and compliance. |

---

Following our discussions with stockholders during our stockholder engagement meetings after the 2025 Say-on-Pay, we made a number of enhancements to our executive compensation program to increase clarity, reinforce alignment with performance, and strengthen the link between compensation outcomes and measurable progress on strategic initiatives — including digital acceleration, diversification through consumer services growth, and retail stability.

| ![](wu4500131_def14a1x58x3.jpg) | **Designing Our Performance Based Pay to Reflect Stockholders' Experience** |

---

The table below shows how the executive compensation program ties CEO actual pay to stockholder returns. Our CEO's three-year average realized compensation was ~34% less than the total compensation awarded, reflecting alignment with changes in our stock price and stockholder experience.

![](wu4500131_def14a1x42x1.jpg)

Total Shareholder Return is calculated based on the change in stock price plus the value of dividends paid during the measurement period. Awarded Pay differs from values disclosed in Summary Compensation Table, which conforms with SEC requirements. Realized Pay is defined as the sum of the base salary, awarded annual incentive and the long-term incentive award valued at closing stock price on 12/31/25 ($9.31), earned PSUs based on actual performance for the 2023 PSU awards, and estimated PSUs for the 2024 and 2025 PSU awards based on performance at target (100%). Dividends accrued or paid with respect to the PSU awards are excluded from Realized Pay.

| ![](wu4500131_def14a1x59x3.jpg) | **Structuring Executive Compensation to Be Predominantly At Risk and Strategy Driven** |

---

The Compensation Committee structured the 2025 executive compensation program so that performance based elements represent a significant majority of total compensation. As shown in the charts below, the program's core components, base salary, annual incentive awards, and long term incentive awards (PSUs, RSUs, and, for certain NEOs, stock options), reflect a strong pay for performance orientation, designed to drive long term stockholder value by emphasizing performance accountability, aligning executives with stockholder interests through equity ownership, and attracting and retaining the talent required to execute our strategy.

A key principle of the program is ensuring that senior leaders are aligned around common performance goals. On balance, 78%-92% of total compensation is performance based, comprised of 57%-77% long term incentives, 15%-21% in annual incentives, and 8%-22% in base salary.

---

The Compensation Committee is responsible for setting our annual incentive and long-term incentive plan performance goals. At the beginning of each year, the Compensation Committee assesses the robustness and rigor of management's proposed performance goals, considering the following:

• prior year target performance
 goals and actual performance against those goals;

• alignment with our annual
 operating plans to effectively incentivize top-line growth, profitability and efficiency;

• alignment with our multi-year
 transformation strategy, considering where we are in this evolution and the actions needed to implement the next phase of this multi-year
 transformation;

• public commitments regarding
 our operational performance;

• expected market growth rates
 for our services;

• performance measures, compensation
 program designs, and performance results at direct competitors;

• the likelihood of achieving
 various levels of Company performance in consideration of macroeconomic factors for the relevant performance period; and

• the global complexity of
 our business and an uncertain macroeconomic environment.

Specifically, when setting performance targets for the 2025 annual incentive plan, the Compensation Committee carefully considered the broader business environment and management actions that appropriately prioritize sustainable stockholder value creation over immediate or short-term results, including:

![](wu4500131_def14a1x60x2.jpg)

The Compensation Committee took these factors into consideration as part of its robust target setting process to set goals that would appropriately incentivize our executive officers to meet the Company's Board-approved 2025 annual operating plan and execute on our strategy by providing challenging but realistically achievable goals.

**Market Comparison**

For 2025, the Compensation Committee considered market pay practices when setting executive compensation but did not target percentile ranks of specific compensation elements or total target direct compensation against the market data. Instead, the committee used market data to assess the overall competitiveness and reasonableness of the Company's executive compensation program, considering:

• input from the Compensation
 Committee's independent compensation consultant around the competitive landscape, best practices, and compensation levels;

• each NEO's prior performance,
 tenure, and leadership, including leadership on transformation initiatives;

• the total compensation levels
 and mix paid to similarly situated executive officers at the Company; and

• Company, business unit, and
 individual performance.

Factors like market competition for a particular skill, the strategic importance of the executive's role, proven performance, experience, tenure, and leadership skills, inform the Compensation Committee's decision as to whether any element of compensation will be below, at, or even exceed the median. The Committee generally believes that increases in long-term equity incentive award values are an effective way to link executive compensation to long-term growth and stockholder value creation, and therefore, tends to reward high performance by increasing annual equity award values.

The Compensation Committee believes that the Company's executive compensation peer group should reflect similar-sized companies in the markets in which the Company competes for business, executive talent, and capital.

In 2024, Meridian Compensation Partners, LLC ("Meridian"), the Committee's independent compensation consultant, reviewed the Company's peer group for 2025 pay decisions. Based on Meridian's recommendations, the Compensation Committee updated the peer group as follows: (i) CME Group, Inc., Intercontinental Exchange, Inc., and Nasdaq were removed because of limited industry similarity and larger market capitalizations, while Discover Financial Services and Money Gram International, Inc. were removed due to M&A activity; and (ii) NCR Atleos Corporation and Rocket Companies, Inc. were added because they share industry characteristics as financial technology companies with comparable revenues to Western Union. The Committee also discussed the continued inclusion of Fiserv and eBay and determined to keep them in the peer group due to business comparability and overall balance. The median estimated revenues among all 2025 peers was $4.8 billion when the benchmarking peer group was approved.

**Footnotes:**

(1) Mr.
 Hawksworth's total compensation was increased to reflect his promotion and expanded responsibilities and relevant peer group
 market data. His salary is annualized with prorated 2025 incentive payouts. He also received a promotion award of $500,000, which
 was delivered as 50% RSUs and 50% PSUs, subject to the same vesting terms as the annual 2025 long-term incentive program
 awards.

(2) Mr. Angelini's salary and annual incentive are denominated in U.S. dollars but paid to Mr. Angelini in euros, based on a conversion
rate of 1.1713 (EUR 451,630 x 1.1713 = $528,995).

(3) AIP Award
 is the amount paid in March 2026 based on 2025 performance. Long-Term Incentive Award is the grant made in February 2025.

**Base Salary**

Our philosophy is that base salaries should meet the objectives of attracting and retaining the executives needed to lead the business. Base salary is a fixed compensation component payable in cash. Mr. Hawksworth's salary was increased from $500,000 to $550,000 in recognition of his expanded responsibilities as Chief Operating Officer. No other NEOs received salary increases for 2025.

All executive officers were eligible to receive a cash award under the 2025 annual incentive plan, which is designed to motivate and reward executives for short-term performance measured against the pre-established goals tied to our financial and strategic operating plan as outlined above. The following formula illustrates the calculation of the annual incentive plan payouts, subject to a 200% maximum payout and no payout if performance is below threshold. The individual modifier can adjust annual incentive award payouts +/- 25% for all executives except for our CEO. The modifier serves to incentivize exceptional performance against pre-established individual strategic goals. For 2025, these goals focused on leadership impact, as measured across areas such as customer focus, employee engagement, talent management, and individual objectives and key performance indicators.

**Key 2025 Accomplishments**

For our NEOs, excluding the CEO, the individual performance modifier is set after evaluating their performance against pre-established strategic goals that emphasize leadership impact. These goals include areas like customer focus, employee engagement, talent management, and key performance indicators. To determine each NEO's individual performance modifier, the Compensation Committee follows a thorough review process: the CEO provides recommendations based on each NEO's performance, and the Compensation Committee then assesses these results against the initial goals. For 2025, the Compensation Committee considered the collective achievements of the NEO team that contributed to key successes for the Company. It also considered the Company's overall performance. After this evaluation, the Compensation Committee approved individual performance modifiers for the NEOs (other than the CEO) within a range of 100% to 115%. Performance highlights for the NEOs, as noted by the Compensation Committee in making the 2025 pay decisions, are outlined below.

A significant portion of each NEO's compensation depends upon the long-term value we create for our stockholders. Our equity-based long-term incentive program helps ensure realized compensation reflects changes in stockholder value over the long term, and helps us recruit, retain and motivate highly skilled executives.

The Company's long term incentive program is delivered through a mix of PSUs, RSUs, and stock options designed to drive long term value creation and support retention. PSUs, which represent 50%-60% of the opportunity, tie NEO compensation directly to strategic performance over a 2025-2027 period, with payouts ranging from 0%-200% based on annual metric attainment averaged over three years and further adjusted by a 75%-125% relative TSR modifier (capped at 200%). Dividend equivalent units accrue and are paid only if the underlying awards vest and NEOs must retain 50% of vested PSUs until ownership guidelines are met. RSUs comprise 30%-40% of the opportunity and vest in equal annual thirds, providing stable value linked to stock performance; dividend equivalents are payable only upon vesting, and NEOs must retain 50% of vested RSUs until ownership guidelines are met. Stock options, representing 0%-20% of the mix, deliver value only if the stock price appreciates above the grant date exercise price, vest in four annual installments, and have a 10 year term.

![](wu4500131_def14a1x68x1.jpg)

After careful consideration of the factors set forth above under "How We Determine Executive Compensation," for 2025, the Compensation Committee approved long-term incentive awards for each NEO as shown in the Total Long-Term Incentive Award column in the table below.

**2025 PSUs in Detail**

The 2025 PSUs are designed to reinforce our Evolve 2025 Strategy by focusing on the performance areas considered most critical to our long term success. They reward meaningful progress in stabilizing revenue amid competitive pressures, expanding our consumer services business, and driving disciplined cost management through an updated adjusted operating expense metric. While the awards retain the core structure of the prior year's 2024 design, the Compensation Committee approved the below change to the financial performance measures in the program to strengthen the focus on the areas leaders can most directly influence.

**>>** **Compensation Discussion And Analysis**

Aligned with our long standing approach, goals are set and measured annually to remain responsive to changing market conditions, with payouts based on the average of each year's results and adjusted by a three year relative TSR (rTSR) modifier. The awards vest only after the full three year period, keeping executives closely aligned with the Company's long term performance and stockholder value creation.

At the conclusion of the three-year vesting period, the Company's three-year Total Shareholder Return (TSR) rank is measured against the S&P MidCap 400 Index. The Company's resulting percentile rank (rTSR rank) results in a payout modifier between 75% and 125%. rTSR rank between the 25th and 75th percentile of the S&P MidCap 400 Index will be interpolated linearly (i.e., +/- 1% change from the 50th percentile), such that rTSR results for the 50th percentile performance will not result in the application of any TSR modifier and rTSR results for 60th percentile performance would result in the application of 110% of the TSR modifier.

**2023 PSU Award Vesting And Performance**

In February 2026, the Compensation Committee certified the below performance results related to the PSU awards granted in 2023, with a 3-year average performance attainment of 125% based on performance against the pre-established goals, and a modifier of 75% based on the Company's rTSR over the performance period (relative to the S&P 500 Index, which ranked in the 16th percentile).

**2026 Compensation Program Design**

**We are Charting a Path Towards Delivering Exceptional Returns for Our Stockholders**

In November 2025, Western Union unveiled its Beyond strategy. This strategy is focused on leveraging the Company's global retail network and expanding digital platforms to offer a broader suite of financial products and services. The strategy continues to diversify Beyond retail remittances, focusing on digital innovation, the expansion of consumer financial services, and the modernization of our payment infrastructure, including the development of digital wallets and a USD-denominated stablecoin. These initiatives are designed to enhance customer experience, promote financial inclusion, and position Western Union as a diversified, digital-first enterprise.

![](wu4500131_def14a1x72x1.jpg)

As Western Union advances its strategy to reach these objectives, the Company is investing in innovation, modernizing its payments platform, expanding its Consumer Services offerings, strengthening its footprint in key markets, and embedding a more efficient operating model. These efforts reinforce business resilience, leverage the strength of the Western Union brand, and harness the value of the Company's global network.

We believe we are executing a clear strategy designed to drive durable growth and create exceptional long term returns for our stockholders. To measure our progress and keep ourselves accountable, the Company has set ambitious, measurable goals that reflect both our strategic priorities and the confidence we have in our long term trajectory:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Growing through<br> Branded Digital and<br> Consumer Services** | **Growing<br> revenue by 20%<br> to $5B in 2028** | **Growing adjusted<br> EPS by 30% to<br> $2.30 in 2028** | **Delivering $1.7B in Free Cash Flow over next 3 years** |

---

These goals reflect our commitment to disciplined execution, operational excellence, and an unwavering focus on delivering results that matter to our customers, employees, stockholders, and other stakeholders.

**Aligning 2026 Executive Compensation With Long Term Value Creation**

Guided by this framework and in response to common themes heard during our stockholder engagement meetings, the Compensation Committee approved a series of design enhancements intended to better align incentive structures with our Investor Day targets and Beyond strategy, simplify the program to improve transparency and line of sight, and reinforce our pay for performance philosophy centered on delivering long term stockholder value. The updated design incorporates key performance indicators that closely track progress across our most critical growth drivers, including Account Payment Network expansion, Digital Transaction growth, and Consumer Services performance. We have also removed the duplicative revenue metrics, reduced the number of metrics in both programs, and have re-assigned the metric weightings. Together, these refinements strengthen the connection between management's decisions, our strategic priorities and the value ultimately delivered to our stockholders. We remain committed to enhancing the clarity and transparency of our disclosures and welcome readers to review next year's proxy statement, where we intend to provide information on our continued progress.

**Retirement Savings Plans**

The Company executives on U.S. payroll are eligible for retirement benefits through a qualified defined contribution 401(k) plan, the Incentive Savings Plan, and a nonqualified defined contribution plan, the Supplemental Incentive Savings Plan ("SISP"). The SISP provides a vehicle for additional deferred compensation with contributions from the Company. We maintain the Incentive Savings Plan and the SISP to encourage our employees to save some percentage of their cash compensation for their eventual retirement. The Compensation Committee believes that these types of savings plans are consistent with competitive pay practices and are an important element in attracting and retaining talent in a competitive market. Please see the 2025 Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Table in the "Executive Compensation" section of this Proxy Statement for further information regarding the Company's retirement savings plans.

**Severance and Change-in-Control Benefits**

The Company has an Executive Severance Policy for executive officers. The Executive Severance Policy helps accomplish the Company's compensation philosophy of attracting and retaining exemplary talent. The Compensation Committee believes it is appropriate to provide executives with the rewards and protections afforded by the Executive Severance Policy. In the event of a change-in-control, the Executive Severance Policy's severance benefits are payable only upon a qualifying termination within 24 months after the date of a change-in-control. Severance benefits under this policy are conditioned upon the executive executing an agreement and release that includes, among other things, non-solicitation and non-competition restrictive covenants and a release of claims against the Company.

Please see the "Executive Compensation—Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control" section of this Proxy Statement for further information regarding the Executive Severance Policy, including the treatment of equity awards upon qualifying termination events or a change-in-control.

**Employment Arrangements**

The Company generally executes an offer of employment before an executive joins the Company. This offer describes the basic terms of the executive's employment, including his or her start date, starting salary, annual incentive target, and long-term incentive award target.

Under certain circumstances, the Compensation Committee recognizes that special arrangements with respect to an executive's employment may be necessary or desirable. For example, Mr. Angelini and a subsidiary of the Company are parties to an employment contract with respect to Mr. Angelini's employment with the Company. Employment contracts are a competitive market practice in Italy where Mr. Angelini resides, and the Compensation Committee believes the terms of this contract are consistent with those for similarly situated executives in Italy. The terms of Mr. Angelini's employment contract provide for (i) eligibility to participate in an annual incentive program and long-term incentive program and (ii) eligibility to participate in retirement, health, and welfare benefit programs on the same basis as similarly situated employees in this location. The employment contract with Mr. Angelini also includes non-competition, non-solicitation, and confidentiality provisions.

**Benefits and Limited Perquisites**

The Company's global benefit philosophy for employees, including executives, is to provide a package of benefits consistent with local practices and competitive within individual markets. While employed with the Company, each of our NEOs participates in the health and welfare benefit plans and fringe benefit programs generally available to all other Company employees in the individual market in which they are located.

The Company provided its NEOs with limited, yet competitive perquisites and other personal benefits such as the annual physical examination. Based on a comprehensive security assessment conducted by an independent security firm, the Board advised Mr. McGranahan to utilize the Company's leased aircraft for personal travel at the Company's expense, with Mr. McGranahan's spouse or other guests able to accompany him if the aircraft could accommodate additional passengers. The Company believes that the costs of this aircraft use are appropriate and necessary based on its security assessment. In certain of those cases, there was no additional aggregate incremental cost to the Company and, as a result, no amount is reflected with respect to those cases in the "2025 All Other Compensation Table."

The Compensation Committee periodically reviews the levels of perquisites and other personal benefits provided to NEOs.

**Executive Compensation Governance Policies And Practices**

**Compensation Governance**

Our Board oversees the goals and objectives of the Company and the CEO, evaluates succession planning with respect to the CEO and evaluates the CEO's performance.

The Compensation Committee oversees and approves Western Union's overall approach to compensation, including its executive compensation policies, plans, and awards, making sure these are consistent with company strategy and objectives. It gathers input from stockholders, management, and external advisors when necessary. The committee meets regularly during the year to assess both company-wide and individual performance, review tally sheets, track progress on incentive plan measures, evaluate market trends, and make decisions regarding compensation programs and executive awards, always aiming for alignment with company goals and shareholder interests. In addition, the committee upholds strict governance practices, including executive sessions, working with an independent compensation consultant, and conducting thorough risk reviews of all compensation programs.

During 2025, the Compensation Committee met five times. Mr. McGranahan, while not a member of the Compensation Committee, attends portions of each meeting to contribute to and understand the Compensation Committee's oversight of executive compensation. He does not attend portions of the meetings relating to his compensation. Our Executive Vice President, Chief People Officer, along with other key members of our human resources team, also attend most Compensation Committee meetings and provide the Compensation Committee with data, analyses, and perspectives on relevant market and industry trends.

**Compensation Consultant**

During 2025, Meridian continued to provide executive and director compensation consulting services to the Compensation Committee.

Meridian is retained by and reports directly to the Compensation Committee and participates in committee meetings. Meridian informs the committee on market trends, as well as regulatory issues and developments and how they may impact the Company's executive compensation program. Meridian also:

• Participates in the design of the executive compensation program to
help the committee evaluate the link between pay and performance;

• Reviews
market data and advises the committee regarding the compensation of the Company's executive officers;

• Reviews
and advises the committee regarding outside director compensation; and

• Performs an annual risk assessment of the Company's compensation program,
as described in the "Executive Compensation—Risk Management and Compensation" section of this Proxy Statement.

Meridian does not provide any other services to the Company. The Compensation Committee has assessed the independence of Meridian pursuant to the NYSE rules and the Company concluded that the work performed by Meridian for the Compensation Committee did not raise any conflict of interest.

**Stock Ownership Guidelines**

To align our executives' interests with those of our stockholders and to assure that our executives own meaningful levels of Company stock throughout their tenures with the Company, the Compensation Committee established the following stock ownership guidelines for our NEOs:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|

Under the stock ownership guidelines, the executives must retain, until the required ownership guideline levels have been achieved and thereafter if required to maintain the required ownership levels, at least 50% of after-tax shares resulting from the vesting of RSUs, including PSUs. As of the record date, our NEOs all comply with their stock ownership and retention requirements.

In addition to the required Dodd-Frank Policy, the Company also maintains the Misconduct Clawback Policy, under which the Company may, in its discretion and subject to applicable law, "clawback" incentive compensation (including time-based equity awards) paid to certain officers of the Company if such officer engaged in detrimental conduct, as defined in the clawback policy, or if the executive officer engaged in conduct that is determined to have directly contributed to material compliance failures.

**Footnotes:**

(1) Except
 with respect to salary adjustments in connection with promotions (or, in the case of Mr.
 Angelini, base salary increases in accordance with the local collective bargaining agreement
 to which he and similarly situated employees are subject), any salary adjustments are effective
 as of March of each reporting year. Mr. Cagwin received a salary increase in March of 2024.

(2) The
 amounts reported in these columns for 2025 represent equity grants to the NEOs under the
 2024 Plan. The amounts reported in these columns are valued based on the aggregate
 grant date fair value computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. The amounts included
 in the Stock Awards column for the PSUs granted during 2025 are calculated based on the probable
 satisfaction of the performance conditions for such awards as of the date of grant. In accordance
 with FASB ASC Topic 718, the amount reported for 2025 is based on one-third of the full number
 of shares subject to the 2023, 2024 and 2025 PSUs for which the target financial performance
 goals were established in 2025. Assuming the highest level of performance is achieved for
 the 2023, 2024 and 2025 PSUs, the maximum value for the portion of the 2023, 2024 and 2025
 PSUs reflected as 2025 compensation in this column under FASB ASC Topic 718 would be as follows
 ($000): Mr. McGranahan - $10,445.2; Mr. Cagwin - $2,296.1; Mr. Hawksworth - $1,097.9; Mr.
 Angelini - $969.8; and Mr. Adams - $1,092.7. Dividend equivalents with respect to the 2025
 PSUs and 2025 RSUs will be paid to the extent the underlying PSUs and RSUs are earned. See
 Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K
 for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, for a discussion on the
 relevant assumptions used in calculating the amounts reported for the applicable year.

(3) For
 2025, the amounts reflect the actual cash bonus received under the Annual Incentive Plan.

(4) Amounts
 included in this column for 2025 are set forth by category in the 2025 All Other Compensation
 Table below.

(5) For purposes
 of this table, the actual salary and all other compensation paid in euros to or on behalf
 of Mr. Angelini during 2025 have been converted to U.S. dollars based on a conversion rate
 of 1.1713.

**Footnotes:**

(1) These
amounts consist of the target and maximum cash award levels set in 2025 under the Annual Incentive Plan. The amount actually paid to
each NEO is included in the Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation column in the 2025 Summary Compensation Table. Please see "Compensation
Discussion and Analysis" for further information regarding the Annual Incentive Plan.

(2) These amounts represent the threshold, target and maximum PSUs granted under the 2015 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "2015 Plan")
for PSUs granted in 2023 and 2024 and the 2024 Plan for PSUs granted in 2025. As noted above, with respect to the 2023, 2024 and 2025
PSUs, the Compensation Committee establishes annual performance goals for each year of the three-year performance period at the beginning
of each applicable year during the performance period. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, reported in this table is one-third of the
full number of shares subject to the 2023, 2024 and 2025 PSUs for which target financial performance goals were established in 2025. The
2023 PSUs vested on February 22, 2026 (or, in the case of Mr. McGranahan, February 23, 2026), the 2024 PSUs are generally scheduled to
vest on February 26, 2027, and the 2025 PSUs are generally scheduled to vest on February 24, 2028 (and, in the case of Mr. Hawksworth,
his promotion award of 50% PSUs and 50% RSUs on March 7, 2028), each subject to the achievement of financial performance metrics during
the relevant performance period, and a payout modifier (ranging from 75% to 125%) for our TSR performance over the three-year performance
periods. To determine vesting level for the 2023, 2024, and 2025 PSUs, financial results for the three-year performance period are averaged
and then multiplied by the TSR payout modifier. The PSU award includes cash dividend equivalent rights entitling the recipient to cash
dividend equivalents for dividends paid with respect to Company common stock subject to the award during the PSU vesting period, subject
to the same vesting conditions as the underlying PSUs.

(3) These
amounts represent RSUs granted under the 2024 Plan to the NEOs and which vest in three substantially equal installments on the first,
second and third anniversaries of the grant date, provided that the NEO is still employed by the Company on the vesting date or as otherwise
provided for pursuant to the Executive Severance Policy, the 2024 Plan or the underlying equity award agreement. Please see "Compensation
Discussion and Analysis" for further information regarding these RSU grants. Each RSU award includes cash dividend equivalent rights
entitling the recipient to cash dividend equivalents for dividends paid with respect to the Company common stock subject to the award
during the RSU vesting period, subject to the same vesting conditions as the underlying RSUs.

(4) This
amount represents stock options granted under the 2024 Plan to Messrs. McGranahan, Cagwin, Angelini, and Adams. These options were granted
subject to vesting in 25% increments on each of the first through fourth year anniversaries of the date of grant, in each case, provided
that the NEO is still employed by the Company on the vesting date or as otherwise provided for pursuant to the Executive Severance Policy,
the 2024 Plan, or the underlying equity award agreement. Please see "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" for further information
regarding these awards.

(5) The
amounts shown in this column are valued based on the aggregate grant date fair value computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718.
In the case of the PSUs, in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, the aggregate grant date fair value computed for the 2023, 2024, and
2025 PSUs is based on one-third of the full number of shares subject to the applicable award for which target financial performance goals
were established in 2025. The remaining portion of the 2024 PSUs and 2025 PSUs that will be linked to goals for subsequent years will
be reported in the Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table for those years in which the goals are established. See Note 15 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 for a discussion of the relevant
assumptions used in calculating the amounts.

>> **Executive Compensation**

**Incentive Savings Plan**

We maintain a defined contribution retirement plan (the "Incentive Savings Plan" or "ISP") for our employees on United States payroll, including each of our NEOs other than Mr. Angelini. The ISP is structured with the intention of qualifying under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. Under the ISP, participants are permitted to make contributions up to the maximum allowable amount under the Internal Revenue Code. For 2025, each participating NEO was eligible to receive a Company contribution equal to 4% of his eligible compensation.

**Supplemental Incentive Savings Plan**

We maintain a nonqualified supplemental incentive savings plan, the SISP, for certain of our employees on U.S. payroll, including each of our NEOs other than Mr. Angelini. Under the SISP, participants may defer up to 80% of their salaries, including commissions and incentive compensation (other than annual bonuses), and may make a separate election to defer up to 80% of any annual bonuses and up to 100% of any performance-based cash awards they may earn. The SISP also provides participants the opportunity to receive credits for matching contributions equal to the difference between the Company contributions that a participant could receive under the ISP but for the contribution and compensation limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code, and the Company contributions allowable to the participant under the ISP. Participants are generally permitted to choose from among the mutual funds available for investment under the ISP for purposes of determining the imputed earnings, gains, and losses applicable to their SISP accounts. The SISP is unfunded. Participants may specify the timing of the payment of their accounts by choosing either a specified payment date or electing payment upon separation from service (or a date up to five years following separation from service), and in either case may elect to receive their accounts in a lump sum or in annual or quarterly installments over a period of up to ten years. With respect to each year's contributions and imputed earnings, the participant may make a separate distribution election. Subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, applicable Internal Revenue Service guidance, and the terms of the SISP, participants may receive an early payment in the event of a severe financial hardship and may make an election to delay the timing of their scheduled payment by a minimum of five years.

**Potential Payments Upon Termination Or Change-In-Control**

**Executive Severance Policy**

In 2025, we maintained the Executive Severance Policy for the payment of certain benefits to senior executives, including each of our NEOs, upon termination of employment from the Company and upon a change in control of the Company. Under the Executive Severance Policy, an eligible executive will become eligible for benefits if (i) prior to a change-in-control or more than 24 months following a change-in-control, he or she is involuntarily terminated by the Company other than on account of death or disability or for cause, or (ii) on or within 24 months after a change-in-control, he or she is involuntarily terminated by the Company other than on account of death or disability or for cause, or he or she terminates employment voluntarily for "good reason" (which may arise from a material reduction in title or position, reduction in base salary or bonus opportunity or an increase in the executive's commute to his or her current principal working location of more than 50 miles without consent). Under the Executive Severance Policy, a change-in-control is generally defined to include:

• The acquisition by a person or entity of 35% or more of either
the outstanding shares of the Company or the combined voting power of such shares, with certain exceptions;

• An unapproved change in a majority of the Board members within
a 24-month period; and

• Certain corporate restructurings, including certain mergers,
dissolution and liquidation.

The Executive Severance Policy provided for the following severance and change-in-control benefits as of December 31, 2025:

• A lump sum severance payment equal to the eligible executive's
base salary as of their termination date (or, if applicable, the base salary in effect prior to a reduction under circumstances constituting
good reason) multiplied by 1.0 (or, in the case of the CEO, 1.5), provided that in the case of an eligible executive who, as of their
termination date, has been employed by the Company for six months or less, the amount of severance pay otherwise payable to such individual
will be reduced to an amount equal to 0.5 multiplied by the eligible executive's base severance pay. However, in the event of a
change-in-control termination, the eligible executive will be entitled

[**Table of Contents**](#toc)

>> **Executive Compensation**

to receive an amount equal to 2.0 multiplied by the sum of the eligible executive's base salary plus the eligible executive's target bonus for the year in which the termination date occurs.

• A cash payment equal to the bonus which would have been paid
to the eligible executive under the Annual Incentive Plan for the year in which the termination occurs, based on actual performance during
such year and prorated based on number of days the eligible executive was employed during such year. No bonus will be payable unless
the Compensation Committee certifies that the performance goals under the Annual Incentive Plan have been achieved for the year in which
the termination occurs (except for eligible terminations following a change-in-control).

• A lump sum payment for medical and dental coverage equal
to: (i) up to $18,000 for the CEO; (ii) up to $12,000 for all other eligible executives if they have been employed for more than six
months; and (iii) up to $6,000 for all other eligible executives if they have been employed by the Company for six months or less.

• Outplacement benefits.

• With respect to awards made pursuant to the Company's
applicable Long-Term Incentive Plan, if an eligible executive is involuntarily terminated without cause and no change-in-control has
occurred, awards granted pursuant to our Long-Term Incentive Plan generally will vest on a prorated basis based on the period served
during the vesting period.

• With respect to awards made pursuant to the Company's applicable
 Long-Term Incentive Plan, if an eligible executive experiences a qualifying termination of employment during the 24 month period
 following a change-in-control, then all time-vested awards will become fully vested and exercisable as of such termination date, and
 all performance-vested awards will become fully vested and exercisable effective as of the termination date based on the greater of
 target or actual performance (as estimated based on performance through the termination date).

• Any benefits triggered by a change-in-control are subject
to an automatic reduction to avoid the imposition of excise taxes under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code in the event such reduction
would result in a better after-tax result for the executive.

The provision of severance benefits under the Executive Severance Policy is conditioned upon the executive executing an agreement and release which includes, among other things, non-competition and non-solicitation restrictive covenants, as well as a release of claims against the Company. These restrictive covenants vary in duration, but generally do not exceed two years.

Additionally, as noted earlier, Mr. Angelini is subject to an employment agreement. Under the terms of this agreement, upon an involuntary termination of employment, Mr. Angelini is required to receive any notice period required by applicable law or by the provisions of the National Collective Bargaining for executives of the Trade Sector in Italy or, to the extent permissible, to receive an indemnity in lieu of notice. Mr. Angelini's employment agreement further provides that in the event of his termination of employment, then for six months following this termination, he will be entitled to receive an indemnity equal to 30% of one month of base salary per month, provided that he complies with certain non-competition covenants set forth in his employment agreement during this period. Thirty percent (30%) of this indemnity is payable upon Mr. Angelini's termination of employment, with the remainder payable upon the expiration of the six-month period.

For each of the NEOs, we have quantified the potential payments upon termination under various termination circumstances in the tables set forth below. These tables assume that the covered termination took place on December 31, 2025.

**Footnotes:**

(1) Under
 the Executive Severance Policy, an eligible executive will become entitled to severance benefits
 if he or she is involuntarily terminated by the Company other than on account of death or
 disability or for cause, or he or she terminates employment voluntarily for good reason within
 24 months after the date of the change-in-control.

(2) In
 accordance with the Executive Severance Policy, amounts in this column represent severance
 payments equal to (i) in the case of a qualifying termination where no change-in-control
 has occurred, the NEO's base salary as of December 31, 2025 multiplied by 1.0 (or,
 in the case of Mr. McGranahan, 1.5), plus a prorated portion of the NEO's bonus for
 2025 based on actual performance, and (ii) in the case of a qualifying termination during
 the 24 month period following a change-in-control, a multiple of 2.0 times the sum of the
 NEO's base salary as of December 31, 2025 and the NEO's target bonus for 2025,
 plus a prorated portion of the NEO's bonus for 2025 based on actual performance. This
 amount also includes, for Mr. Angelini, an amount equal to 15% of Mr. Angelini's base
 salary as of December 31, 2025, representing the amount to which he would be entitled for
 complying with the non-competition covenants under his employment agreement for six months
 following his termination of employment.

(3) Amounts
 in this column represent a lump sum cash payment for each of the NEOs based upon the health
 and dental coverage in which each such individual was enrolled as of December 31, 2025.

 on December 31, 2025 by the number of unvested RSUs or, in the case of PSUs, by the number
 of shares to be awarded based on target achievement. In the case of option awards, the equity
 value was determined by multiplying (i) the spread between the exercise price and the closing
 stock price of $9.31 per share on December 31, 2025 and (ii) the number of unvested option
 shares that would vest following a qualifying termination or termination due to death or
 disability. The calculation with respect to unvested long-term incentive awards reflects
 the following additional assumptions under the Executive Severance Policy and the applicable
 Long-Term Incentive Plan:

(5) As of December 31, 2025, Mr. Angelini was the only NEO eligible for retirement treatment under his equity incentive awards. For the purpose
of these calculations, we have assumed that Mr. Angelini provided at least six months notice of his hypothetical retirement on December
31, 2025, as a result of which any unvested awards granted to him after May 17, 2024 would receive full vesting continuation upon such
retirement.

**>>** **Executive Compensation**

**Risk Management And Compensation**

Appropriately incentivizing behaviors which foster the best interests of the Company and its stockholders is an essential part of the compensation-setting process. The Company believes that risk-taking is necessary for continued innovation and growth, but that risks should be encouraged within parameters that are appropriate for the long-term health and sustainability of the business. As part of its compensation setting process, the Company evaluates the merits of its compensation programs through a comprehensive review of its compensation policies and programs to determine whether they encourage unnecessary or inappropriate risk-taking by the Company's executives and employees below the executive level. Based on this review, the Company has concluded that the risks arising from its compensation programs are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Management and the independent compensation consultant review the Company's compensation programs, including the broad-based employee programs and the programs tied to the performance of individual business units. The team maps the level of "enterprise" risk for each business area, as established through the Company's enterprise risk management oversight process, with the level of compensation risk for the associated incentive programs. In developing the risk assessment, the team reviews the compensation programs within each business area for:

• The
 mix of fixed versus variable pay;

• The
 performance metrics to which pay is tied;

• Whether
 the pay opportunity is capped;

• The
 timing of payout;

• Whether
 "clawback" adjustments are permitted;

• The
 use of equity awards; and

• Whether
 stock ownership guidelines apply.

Annual incentive awards and long-term incentive awards granted to executives are tied primarily to corporate performance goals, including revenue and EPS growth, and strategic performance objectives. The Compensation Committee believes that these metrics encourage performance that supports the business as a whole. The executive annual incentive awards include a maximum payout opportunity equal to 200% of target (inclusive of an additional +/- 25% modifier for participants other than Mr. McGranahan based on individual leadership and impact as measured across areas such as customer focus, sustainability and team engagement). Our executives are also expected to meet share ownership guidelines in order to align the executives' interests with those of our stockholders. Further, the Company's Dodd-Frank Policy requires the Company to recover incentive compensation paid to covered officers in the event of a financial restatement and the Company's Misconduct Policy provides that the Company may, in its sole discretion, recoup certain incentive compensation from covered officers in the event the covered officer engages in compliance misconduct or detrimental conduct. The Misconduct Policy helps to discourage inappropriate risks, as executives will be held accountable for misconduct which is harmful to the Company's financial and reputational health. In addition, the Misconduct Policy and specific clawback provisions in the Company's annual and long-term incentive award agreements allow the Company to "claw back" executive pay if the executive engages in conduct that is determined to have contributed to material compliance failures, subject to applicable law.

**>** **> CEO Pay Ratio**

**CEO Pay Ratio**

As required by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Act, we are providing the following disclosure about the relationship of the annual total compensation of our employees to the annual total compensation of Mr. McGranahan, our CEO.

To understand this disclosure, we think it is important to give context to our operations. As noted above, The Western Union Company provides people and businesses with fast, reliable, and convenient ways to send money and make payments around the world. As a global organization, approximately 83% of our employees are located outside of the United States, with our employees located in more than 50 countries. We strive to create a competitive global compensation program in terms of both the position and the geographic location in which the employee is located. As a result, our compensation program varies amongst each local market, in order to allow us to provide a competitive total rewards package.

Given the leverage of our executive compensation program towards performance-based elements, we expect that our pay ratio disclosure will fluctuate year-to-year based on the Company's performance against the pre-established performance goals.

**Ratio**

For 2025,

• The
 median of the annual total compensation of all of our employees, other than Mr. McGranahan,
 was $36 thousand.

• Mr.
 McGranahan's annual total compensation, as reported in the Total column of the 2025
 Summary Compensation Table, was $10.7 million.

• Based
 on this information, the ratio of the annual total compensation of Mr. McGranahan to the
 median of the annual total compensation of all employees is estimated to be 293 to 1.

In determining the annual total compensation of the 2025 median employee, we calculated such employee's 2025 compensation in accordance with Item 402(c)(2)(x) of Regulation S-K as required pursuant to SEC executive compensation disclosure rules. This calculation is the same calculation used to determine total compensation for purposes of the 2025 Summary Compensation Table with respect to each of the NEOs. For purposes of this disclosure, we converted such employee's compensation from the employee's local currency to U.S. dollars using an exchange rate as of December 31, 2025.

**Identification of Median Employee**

As permitted by SEC rules, we have used the same median employee as last year because we do not believe there has been a change in our employee population or employee compensation program that would significantly impact the CEO pay ratio disclosure.

For purposes of identifying the median employee, we considered the aggregate of the following compensation elements for each of our employees, as compiled from the Company's payroll records:

• Base
 Salary

• Target
 Annual Bonus

• Actual
 Equity Awards

• Target
 Commissions

We selected the above compensation elements as they represent the Company's principal broad-based compensation elements. A complete description of the methodology that we used to identify the median employee can be found in our 2025 Proxy Statement, filed on March 31, 2025.

Executive Officer for the entirety of 2025, and the Company's other NEOs were: Matt Cagwin, Benjamin Adams, Giovanni Angelini,
and Benjamin Hawksworth.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 2024: Devin McGranahan served as the Company's Chief Executive Officer for the entirety of 2024, and the Company's other
NEOs were: Matt Cagwin, Andrew Walker, Benjamin Adams, and Giovanni Angelini.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 2023: Devin McGranahan served as the Company's Chief Executive Officer for the entirety of 2023, and the Company's other
NEOs were: Matt Cagwin, Andrew Walker, Benjamin Adams, Giovanni Angelini, and Jean Claude Farah.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 2022: Devin McGranahan served as the Company's Chief Executive Officer for the entirety of 2022 and the Company's other
NEOs were: Matt Cagwin; Jean Claude Farah; Gabriella Fitzgerald; Benjamin Adams; and Raj Agrawal.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 2021: Devin McGranahan assumed the role of the Company's
Chief Executive Officer on December 27, 2021 and Hikmet Ersek served as Chief Executive Officer during 2021 through his December 27,
2021 retirement. The Company's other NEOs for 2021 were: Raj Agrawal; Michelle Swanback; Jean Claude Farah; and Gabriella Fitzgerald.

(2) Amounts reported in this column represent (i) the total compensation reported in the Summary Compensation Table for the applicable
year in the case of Messrs. McGranahan and Ersek and (ii) the average of the total compensation reported in the Summary Compensation Table
for the applicable year for the Company's NEOs for the applicable year other than the PEOs for such years.

(3) To calculate compensation actually paid ("CAP"), adjustments were made to the amounts reported in the Summary Compensation
Table for the applicable year. A reconciliation of the adjustments for Messrs. McGranahan and Ersek and for the average of the other NEOs
is set forth following the footnotes to this table.

(4) Pursuant to rules of the SEC, the comparison assumes $100 was invested on December 31, 2020. Historic stock price performance is not
necessarily indicative of future stock price performance.

Index"), an independently prepared index that includes companies in the financial services industry.

(6) As noted in the "Compensation Discussion and Analysis," for 2025, the Compensation Committee determined that adjusted
revenue continues to be viewed as a core driver of the Company's performance and stockholder value creation and, accordingly, was
utilized as a component in the Annual Incentive Plan. Total adjusted revenue for 2025 represents revenue adjusted for currency impact,
to exclude Argentina hyperinflation, and material acquisitions and dispositions.

**>>** **Pay Versus Performance**

**Relationship Between Pay and Performance**

We believe the "Compensation Actually Paid" or "CAP" in each of the years reported above and over the four-year cumulative period are reflective of the Compensation Committee's emphasis on "pay-for-performance" as the "Compensation Actually Paid" fluctuated year-over-year, primarily due to the result of our varying levels of achievement against pre-established performance goals under our Annual Incentive Plan and our Long-Term Incentive Program, including our adjusted revenue performance, and our stock performance.

**1. TSR: COMPANY VERSUS PEER GROUP AND CAP**

As shown in the chart below, the Company's five-year cumulative TSR for the period of 2021-2025 is less than the five-year cumulative TSR for companies included in our peer group TSR. While the average CAP for the other NEOs is relatively aligned with the Company's TSR, the CAP for the PEO increased due to actual financial performance attainment levels for PSU awards granted in 2025, 2024, and 2023.

![](wu4500131_def14a1x95x1.jpg)

**2. CAP VERSUS ADJUSTED REVENUE (COMPANY SELECTED MEASURE)**

The chart below demonstrates the relationship between CAP amounts for our PEO and each of our NEOs and our adjusted revenue for the applicable fiscal year. Variations in the CAP amounts for our PEO and other NEOs are due in large part to the significant emphasis the Company places on long-term incentives, the value of which fluctuates most significantly based on the vesting level of our PSU awards and changes in stock price over time. As noted in the "Compensation Discussion and Analysis," the Compensation Committee determined that adjusted revenue continues to be viewed as a core driver of the Company's performance and stockholder value creation and, accordingly, was utilized as a component in both the Annual Incentive Plan and long-term incentive program. While the average CAP for the other NEOs is relatively aligned with the Company's adjusted revenue performance, the CAP for the PEO position was impacted by the actual financial performance attainment levels in 2025 and vesting levels for PSUs in 2023. In addition, the CAP for the PEO position was impacted by the new hire grants received by Mr. McGranahan in 2021 in connection with the commencement of his employment.

**3. CAP VERSUS NET INCOME**

The chart below demonstrates the relationship between CAP amounts for our PEO and our other NEOs and our net income. Net income is not a component of our executive compensation program. Variations in the CAP amounts for our PEO and other NEOs are due in large part to the significant emphasis the Company places on long-term incentives, the value of which fluctuates most significantly based on the vesting level of our PSU awards and changes in stock price over time.

**Performance Measures Used to Link Company Performance and CAP to the NEOs**

Below is a list of financial performance measures, which in the Company's assessment represent the most important financial performance measures used by the Company to link CAP to the NEOs for 2025 to Company performance. As noted in the "Compensation Discussion and Analysis," the Company used both financial and non-financial performance measures in order to link compensation paid to NEOs to Company performance in 2025. To measure individual performance against key objectives for the Company as well as the executive's success in fulfilling the executive's responsibilities, the total payout under the Annual Incentive Plan for the participating NEOs other than Mr. McGranahan in 2025 was subject to a +/- 25% modifier based on the Compensation Committee's assessment versus non-financial performance metrics relating to leadership, sustainability and customer focus. These goals were included in the Annual Incentive Plan design to reinforce these objectives as priorities throughout the organization. Please see the "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" for further information regarding how each of these goals is calculated as well as the Company's use of strategic and non- financial goals in its executive compensation program.

**Policies and Practices Related to the Timing of Grants of Certain Equity Awards**

The Compensation Committee and senior management monitor the Company's equity grant practices to evaluate whether such policies comply with governing regulations and are consistent with good corporate practices. When making regular annual equity grants, the Compensation Committee's practice is to approve them at its meeting in February of each year as part of the annual compensation review and after results for the preceding fiscal year become available. In addition, the Compensation Committee may make grants at any time during the year it deems appropriate, including with respect to new hires or transitions. The Company does not schedule its equity grants in anticipation of the release of material non-public information ("MNPI") nor does the Company time the release of MNPI based on equity grant dates.

During 2025, no stock option grants were made to any of our NEOs during any period beginning four business days before the filing or furnishing of a periodic report or current report and ending one business day after the filing or furnishing of any such report with the SEC.

**>>** **Proposal 2: Advisory Vote To Approve Executive Compensation**

**Proposal 2:**

**Advisory Vote To Approve Executive Compensation**

As required by Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, we are providing stockholders the opportunity to advise the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors regarding the compensation of our NEOs, as such compensation is described in the "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" section, the tabular disclosure regarding such compensation and the accompanying narrative disclosure, beginning on page [35](#a_023), which we do annually. We strongly encourage you to read these sections for a detailed description of our executive compensation philosophy and programs, the compensation decisions the Committee has made under those programs, the factors considered in making those decisions, the changes approved to such programs and the feedback we received from our stockholder engagement.

At the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, only 46% of stockholders supported our Say-on-Pay proposal, a significant drop from our historical average of 94%. The Compensation Committee values input from stockholders, and following the Annual Meeting, we contacted our top 36 stockholders (about 70% of shares), and 13 responded, representing roughly 43% of shares outstanding. Our Compensation Committee Chair, Mr. Miles, joined all but one meeting.

In response to concerns voiced, the Committee has:

• Not granted any above target or one-time awards to our CEO in 2025 (and no such increase or awards have been made or are anticipated
in 2026).

• Adjusted our short- and long-term incentive programs for 2026 to eliminate overlapping performance metrics.

• Enhanced proxy disclosures to provide more business context, detail on Committee decisions, and a scorecard format highlighting performance
against targets.

We are confident that these changes, among others, directly reflect your feedback and enhance our executive compensation program and related disclosures. Our primary goal remains to reward performance and incentivize stockholder value creation.

Accordingly, the Board is requesting your nonbinding vote on the following "say-on-pay" resolution:

**RESOLVED, that the stockholders of the Company approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company's named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K in the "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" section, the tabular disclosure regarding such compensation, and the accompanying narrative disclosure, each as set forth in the Company's Proxy Statement for its 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.**

Because your vote is advisory, it will not be binding upon the Board of Directors. However, the Compensation Committee may consider the outcome of the vote when considering future executive compensation arrangements.

**>>** **Proposal 3: Ratification Of Selection Of Auditors**

**Proposal 3:**

**Ratification Of Selection Of Auditors**

The Board of Directors and the Audit Committee believe it is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders to recommend to the stockholders the ratification of the selection of Ernst & Young LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, to audit the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries for 2026. Ernst & Young LLP has served as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm since the Company became a public company in 2006. Consistent with the regulations adopted pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the lead audit partner having primary responsibility for the audit and the concurring audit partner are rotated every five years.

A representative of Ernst & Young LLP will be present at the Annual Meeting, will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so, and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

**Summary Of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm's Fees For 2025 And 2024**

Fees for professional services provided by our independent auditors, Ernst & Young LLP, for fiscal years 2025 and 2024, respectively, included the following (in millions):

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **2025** | **2024** |
| Audit Fees<sup>(1)</sup> | $5.3 | $5.7 |
| Audit-Related Fees<sup>(2)</sup> | $0.6 | $0.9 |
| Tax Fees<sup>(3)</sup> | $0.9 | $1.5 |

---

**Footnotes:**

(1) "Audit Fees" primarily include fees related to (i) the integrated audit of the Company's annual consolidated financial
statements and internal controls over financial reporting; (ii) the review of its quarterly consolidated financial statements; (iii) statutory
audits required domestically and internationally; (iv) comfort letters, consents and assistance with and review of documents filed with
the SEC; and (v) other accounting and financial reporting consultation and research work billed as audit fees or necessary to comply with
the standards of the PCAOB (United States).

(2) "Audit-Related Fees" primarily include fees, not included in "Audit Fees" above, related to (i) service auditor
examinations; (ii) attest services that are not required by statute or regulation; and (iii) consultation concerning financial accounting
and reporting standards that are not classified as "Audit Fees."

(3) "Tax Fees," which incorporate both tax advice and tax planning services, primarily include fees related to (i) consultations,
analysis and assistance with domestic and foreign tax matters, including value-added and goods and services taxes; (ii) local tax authority
audits; and (iii) other miscellaneous tax consultations, including tax services requested as part of the Company's procedures for
commercial agreements, the acquisition of new entities, and other potential business transactions.

During 2025 and 2024, all audit and non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm were pre-approved, consistent with the pre-approval policy of the Audit Committee. The pre-approval policy requires that all services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm be pre-approved by the Audit Committee or one or more members of the Audit Committee designated by the Audit Committee.

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of shares of the Company's Common Stock present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter is required to approve this Proposal 3. In the event the stockholders fail to ratify the selection of Ernst & Young LLP, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors will consider it a direction to select another independent registered public accounting firm for the subsequent year. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee, in its discretion, may select a new independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year, if it feels that such a change would be in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders.

**>>** **Proposal 4: Approval Of The Company's 2026 Employee Stock Purchase Plan**

**Proposal 4:**

**Approval Of The Company's 2026 Employee Stock Purchase Plan**

Our stockholders are being asked to approve the adoption of The Western Union Company 2026 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "ESPP"). Subject to the capitalization adjustment provisions included in the ESPP, the ESPP provides for the issuance of up to 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock to participating employees.

**Description of the ESPP**

The following description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the plan document, a copy of which is attached as Annex A and incorporated into this Proxy Statement by reference.

**Purpose**

The purpose of the ESPP is provide an incentive to attract and retain employees and to increase employee moral by providing a program through which employees may acquire a proprietary interest in the Company through the purchase and issuance of shares of Common Stock. The ESPP will permit participants to purchase shares of Common Stock through payroll deductions, as well as to receive matching grants of restricted stock units with respect to shares of Common Stock.

The ESPP is not intended to be an employee benefit plan under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, nor is the ESPP intended to qualify as an "employee stock purchase plan" under Section 423 of the Code.

**Plan Administration**

The ESPP will be administered by the Compensation and Benefits Committee, or a subcommittee thereof, or such other committee designated by the Board to act as administrator of the ESPP (the "ESPP Committee"), unless the Board elects to assume administration of the ESPP in whole or in part. ESPP Committee members will be intended to qualify as "independent directors" (or terms of similar meaning) if and to the extent required under applicable law.

Subject to the provisions of the ESPP and applicable law, the ESPP Committee will have full and final authority, in its discretion, to take any action with respect to the ESPP. Every finding, decision and determination made by the ESPP Committee will, to the full extent permitted by applicable law, be final and binding upon all parties. Except to the extent prohibited by the ESPP or applicable law, the ESPP Committee may appoint one or more agents to assist in the administration of the ESPP and may delegate any part of its responsibilities and powers to any such person or persons appointed by it.

Subject to applicable law, no member of the Board or ESPP Committee, and no officer or employee to whom the ESPP Committee delegates any of its power and authority, will be liable for any act, omission, interpretation, construction or determination made in connection with the ESPP in good faith, and the members of the Board and the ESPP Committee and officers and employees will be entitled to indemnification and reimbursement by the Company in respect of any claim, loss, damage or expense (including attorneys' fees) arising therefrom to the full extent permitted by law (except as otherwise may be provided in the Company's certificate of incorporation and/or by-laws) and under any directors' and officers' liability insurance that may be in effect from time to time and applicable to the individual.

**Eligibility and Participation**

Unless otherwise determined by the ESPP Committee, any employee of the Company or any present or future subsidiary of the Company which the ESPP Committee has designated as a "Participating Company" will be eligible to participate in the ESPP.

An employee who has satisfied the eligibility requirements under the ESPP may become a participant in the ESPP by completing an authorization for participant contributions and delivering such form(s) and documents to the Company or its designated agent prior to the designated start date of the applicable offering period. If the ESPP was in effect as of March 12, 2026 and all Company subsidiaries were designated as a Participating Company, approximately 9,280 employees would be eligible to participate in the ESPP.

**>>** **Proposal 4: Approval Of The Company's 2026 Employee Stock Purchase Plan**

**Offering Periods**

Offering Periods" under the ESPP will refer to any period with respect to which a right to purchase shares of Common Stock ("Purchase Rights") may be granted. Unless otherwise determined by the ESPP Committee, each Offering Period will be six months, commencing on each December 1 and May 1 on or following the effective date of the ESPP. The ESPP Committee will have the power to change the frequency and duration of the Offering Periods as it deems appropriate from time to time.

**Participant Contributions**

Under the terms of the ESPP, in connection with each Offering Period, each participant may designate an amount of payroll deductions (on an after-tax basis) to be made from the participant's paycheck to purchase shares of Common Stock under the ESPP. The participant contributions will be designated in whole percentages of the participant's base salary from the Participating Companies, up to a maximum of 15% (or such other maximum percentage or dollar value as determined by the ESPP Committee). In no event may a participant's aggregate payroll deductions for any calendar year exceed $2,000, unless otherwise determined by the ESPP Committee.

The payroll deduction amount designated by the participant will continue until altered or terminated. Participants may withdraw, terminate or discontinue participation in the ESPP at any time; however, unless determined by the ESPP Committee before the beginning of an Offering Period, participants may not alter the rate of their payroll deductions for a specific Offering Period during that Offering Period.

Participants may withdraw contributions credited to the participant's account during an Offering Period at any time prior to the last day of that Offering Period by giving sufficient prior written notice to the Company or its designated agent, in which case all of the participant's contributions that have not already been used to purchase shares of Common Stock will be paid to the participant promptly, without interest (unless required by applicable law), after receipt of the participant's notice of withdrawal, and no further contributions will be made with respect to the participant during such Offering Period.

Upon termination of a participant's employment for any reason, the participant's participation in the ESPP will be terminated, unless otherwise required by applicable law. In such case, or in the event that the participant otherwise ceases to be eligible to participate in the ESPP, then the payroll deductions credited to the participant's plan account, to the extent not yet used to purchase stock, will be returned (without interest, unless otherwise required by law) to the participant or, in the case of death, their designated beneficiary, and the participant will not be entitled to any shares of Common Stock or RSUs with respect to such contributions.

**Company Grant of Match RSUs**

For each Offering Period, each participant who remains employed through the end of such Offering Period and applicable grant date will be eligible to receive a grant of RSUs representing the right to receive one share of Common Stock (the "Match RSUs") under the ESPP. Except as otherwise determined by the ESPP Committee prior to the commencement of an Offering Period, the number of Match RSUs to be granted to a participant with respect to each Offering Period in which the participant participates will be determined by multiplying the participant's contributions for such Offering Period by 25% (the "Matching Contributions") and dividing the Matching Contributions by the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the last day of the Offering Period. Unless otherwise provided in an award agreement, the Match RSUs will be fully vested as of the date of grant and settled in accordance with the terms of the applicable award agreement.

**Purchase of Stock; Share Reserve**

Within 10 days following the end of each Offering Period, the amount credited to each participant's plan account in respect of their payroll deductions will be transferred to a financial institution designated by the Company to act as a broker for the ESPP, who will use these amounts to purchase shares of Common Stock on the open market on the participant's behalf. Any excess account balance remaining after such purchase will be credited back to the participant's account and automatically re-invested in a subsequent Offering Period, unless otherwise elected by the participant or unless the Company elects to return such participant contributions to the participant. Unless otherwise determined by the ESPP Committee, fractional shares will be issued under the ESPP.

**>>** **Proposal 4: Approval Of The Company's 2026 Employee Stock Purchase Plan**

The Company will pay certain broker administrative charges, while the participants will pay all other expenses of their share accounts, including but not limited to the broker's fees attributable to the issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock held in the participant's share account and any brokerage commissions and charges associated with the sale of Common Stock held in the participant's share account.

Subject to the adjustment provisions of the ESPP, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be purchased under the ESPP or issued under the Plan in connection with the settlement of Match RSUs is 3,000,000 shares. Shares of Common Stock purchased with participant deductions under the ESPP will be purchased on the open market, while shares of Common Stock that are issued in connection with the settlement of Match RSUs may be shares of Common Stock that are authorized and unissued or shares of Common Stock that were acquired by the Company, including via purchase on the open market. As of March 12, 2026, the closing price of a share of Common Stock, as reported on The New York Stock Exchange, was $9.73.

**Adjustment and Change in Control**

In the event of any merger, reorganization, consolidation, "change in control" (as defined in the ESPP), recapitalization, liquidation, stock dividend, split-up, spinoff, stock split, reverse stock split, share combination, share exchange, extraordinary dividend, or any change in the corporate structure affecting the shares of Common Stock, such adjustment shall be made in the number and kind of shares of Common Stock that may be purchased under the ESPP and provisions of the ESPP and any award agreements issued thereunder may be adjusted, as may be determined to be appropriate and equitable by the ESPP Committee, in its sole discretion.

In the event of a "change in control," as defined in The Western Union Company 2024 Long-Term Incentive Plan (or any successor plan in effect as of the commencement of the applicable Offering Period), the ESPP Committee's discretion will include, but will not be limited to, the authority to provide for one or more of the following: each Purchase Right will be assumed (including the right to receive Match RSUs) or an equivalent purchase right (including the matching component) will be substituted by the successor entity or parent or subsidiary of such successor entity; (ii) a date selected by the ESPP Committee on or before the date of consummation of such change in control will be treated as the "purchase date" under the ESPP and all outstanding Purchase Rights will be exercised and any Matching RSUs in respect thereof will be granted on that date; (iii) all outstanding Purchase Rights will terminate and the accumulated participant contributions will be refunded to each participant upon or prior to the change in control (without interest, unless otherwise required by applicable law); or (iv) outstanding Purchase Rights (including the right to receive Match RSUs) will continue unchanged.

**Amendment and Termination**

Under the terms of the ESPP, the Board has the right to amend, modify or terminate the ESPP (or any award agreement issued thereunder) at any time, provided that approval of an amendment to the ESPP by the stockholders of the Company will be required to the extent that stockholder approval of such amendment is required by applicable law. Upon termination of the ESPP, all cash in each participant's account will be paid to the participant. No such amendment or termination shall affect rights previously granted, nor may any amendment make any change in any right previously granted, in each case, which would materially and adversely affect the rights of any participant without the consent of such participant.

**Tax Withholding**

The Company (or any other Participating Company, as applicable) will have the right to deduct from all amounts payable or provided to a participant any taxes required by law to be withheld in respect of amounts payable or provided under the ESPP.

**Recoupment**

Except to the extent prohibited by law, the awards granted under the ESPP and any cash payment or Common Stock delivered pursuant to an award are subject to forfeiture, recovery by the Company or other action pursuant to the applicable award agreement or any clawback or recoupment policy which the Company may adopt from time to time, including without limitation the Company's Misconduct Clawback and Forfeiture Policy and the Company's Dodd-Frank Clawback and Forfeiture Policy.

**>>** **Proposal 4: Approval Of The Company's 2026 Employee Stock Purchase Plan**

**New Plan Benefits**

The benefits that might be received by participating employees under the ESPP cannot be determined because the benefits depend upon the degree of participation by employees and the trading price of the Common Stock in future offering periods.

**Federal Income Tax Consequences**

The following is a brief summary of certain United States federal income tax consequences generally arising with respect to participating in the ESPP. This discussion does not address all aspects of the United States federal income tax consequences of participating in the ESPP that may be relevant to participants in light of their personal investment or tax circumstances and does not discuss any state, local or non-United States tax consequences of participating in the ESPP. Each participant is advised to consult his or her particular tax advisor concerning the application of the United States federal income tax laws to such participant's particular situation, as well as the applicability and effect of any state, local or non-United States tax laws before taking any actions with respect to participation in the ESPP.

A participant will be taxed on amounts withheld for the purchase of shares of Common Stock as if such amounts were actually received. The participant's basis in the shares will equal the amount paid for the shares on the purchase date, and any additional gain or resulting loss recognized on the disposition of the shares after such basis adjustment will be a capital gain or loss.

Upon issuance of the shares of Common Stock in settlement of Match RSUs, the participant will recognize compensation taxable as ordinary income (and subject to income tax withholding) in an amount equal to the fair market value of any shares delivered and, if applicable, the amount of any cash paid by the Company. The amount of ordinary income recognized is deductible by the Company (or the affiliated employer) as compensation expense subject to Section 162(m) of the Code.

**Proposal 5:**

**Stockholder Proposal Regarding Stockholder Right To Act By Written Consent**

John Chevedden, 2215 Nelson Avenue, No. 205, Redondo Beach, California 90278, owner of more than $2,000 worth of shares of the Company's Common Stock, has notified the Company that he intends to present a proposal for consideration at the Annual Meeting. As required by the Exchange Act, the text of the stockholder proposal and supporting statement appear as submitted to the Company by the proponent.

| **Proposal 5 - Shareholder Right To Act By Written Consent** | ![](wu4500131_def14a1x105x1.jpg) |

---

Shareholders request that the board of directors take the necessary steps to permit written consent by the shareholders entitled to cast the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize an action at a meeting at which all shareholders entitled to vote thereon were present and voting (without any unnecessary restriction based on length of stock ownership or the method by which shareholders hold their shares). This includes shareholder ability to initiate any appropriate topic for written consent.

Shareholders acting by written consent and calling for a special shareholder meeting are 2 means that shareholders of a company can use to put forth a proposal on a timely basis without waiting for the annual shareholder meeting.

It is particularly important for Western Union (WU) shareholders to have a right to act by written consent because WU shares not owned for at least one year are excluded from having a right to call for a special shareholder meeting.

It is believed that no company out of a pool of 3000 companies has ever held a special shareholder meeting, called for by shareholders, with this one year exclusion, highlighting what a deterrent a one year exclusion is. Thus the special meeting right at WU seems to be useless.

Acting by written consent is hardly ever used by shareholders but the main point of having a right to act by written consent is that it gives shareholders greater standing to engage effectively with management when Western Union (WU) underperforms.

Since a director can be removed by written consent, enabling shareholders to act by written consent may serve as an incentive for WU directors to perform better.

The following challenging 2025 news reports regarding WU make it more important to adopt this proposal without delay:

The WU Q2 2025 results missed analyst estimates for both adjusted earnings per share (EPS) and revenue. This followed a similar trend in the first quarter.

Due to weaker-than-expected performance, management revised its full-year 2025 financial outlook downward for both adjusted revenues and adjusted EPS.

The primary driver of the revenue decrease was the Consumer Money Transfer (CMT) segment, which saw an 8% decline in reported revenue in Q2 2025.

The overall number of consumer money transfer transactions declined by 3% in Q2 2025, reflecting broader market headwinds and increased competition from digital platforms.

Management cited ongoing "geopolitical environment" headwinds, including market softness in U.S. outbound corridors and impacts from changes in immigration policies, as contributing to the downturn.

The financial results led to a decline in Western Union's stock price, which fell 4% after the Q2 report and had a year-to-date drop of 24% by October 2025.

Analysts project the company's profit margins will shrink in the coming years, a potential long-term challenge that could weigh on future earnings power

**>>** **Board's Statement Opposing The Proposal**

**Board's Statement Opposing The Proposal**

The Company routinely monitors and evaluates trends in corporate governance, reviews them against our current practices and structures and regularly asks for and receives input from stockholders. After careful consideration, and for the reasons described below, the Board believes that the proposal is not in the best interests of the Company or its stockholders, and the Board recommends voting **"AGAINST"** this proposal.

**Similar written consent proposals have previously received limited support from our stockholders.**

The Board's recommendation is informed by its stockholder engagement efforts and prior stockholder voting results, which have illustrated limited stockholder support for a written consent right following the Company's prior action to lower the ownership threshold required for stockholders to call a special meeting. This historical background is further detailed below:

After a proposal to establish the right of stockholders to act by written consent received approximately 51% approval at the 2017 annual meeting of stockholders, the Board conducted a comprehensive stockholder engagement process to solicit input in response.

• A significant majority of the stockholders who responded in the engagement process (representing
 approximately 31% of the Company's outstanding stock at the time) indicated that a reduction in the ownership threshold
 required under the Company's existing special meeting right was preferable to implementing a right for stockholders to act by
 written consent.

• In response to this feedback, the Board proposed a reduction in the ownership threshold for
 stockholders to call a special meeting from 20% to 10%, which was approved by approximately 83% of all outstanding shares entitled
 to vote at the 2018 annual meeting of stockholders.

In subsequent years, two additional stockholder proposals to adopt a written consent right were presented, each with limited voting support.

• At the 2021 annual meeting of stockholders, the written consent
proposal received approximately 32.5% of votes cast in favor.

• At the 2023 annual meeting of stockholders, the written consent
proposal received approximately 33.5% of votes cast in favor.

In light of this history, the Board continues to believe that a written consent right is not supported by a majority of our stockholders and the Company's existing governance structure allows adequate opportunities for stockholders to raise important issues with the Board.

**Action by written consent is unnecessary given the ability of stockholders to call special meetings. Stockholder meetings provide a more transparent, informed, and equitable process for all stockholders to exercise their rights.**

The Board also believes that permitting stockholder action by written consent is not appropriate for Western Union, a large, widely held public company with both institutional and retail investors. Stockholder meetings offer important protections and advantages to all stockholders that are absent from the written consent process. The protections and advantages of stockholder meetings include the following:

• Meetings are held at a time, date and venue publicly announced
in advance, and all stockholders may attend, consider the proposed actions, and vote their shares.

• All stockholders have a chance to engage meaningfully in
the process, voice their concerns, offer their perspectives, and cast their votes, and also have greater flexibility to change their
decisions before the proposed action becomes effective.

• Accurate and complete information about the proposed actions
is widely distributed in a proxy statement well in advance of stockholder meetings, thereby encouraging a fully informed discussion and
consideration of the merits of the proposed actions.

• The Board can analyze the proposed actions and provide a
well-informed recommendation on them before stockholders vote on the proposed action.

**>>** **Board's Statement Opposing The Proposal**

**Action by written consent could create confusion and disruption for stockholders and the Company.**

If action by written consent is permitted, multiple stockholder groups could solicit written consents at any time and as frequently as they choose on a range of insignificant or self-interested issues, or with respect to issues that Company management and the Board are already contemplating or reviewing. Some of these written consents may be duplicative or contradictory, which has the potential to create substantial confusion and disruption for stockholders and a significant burden on the Company's resources, including the time and attention of the Board, its executives and its employees with no corresponding benefit to our stockholders. The Board believes the Company's limited resources would be better spent on executing its growth strategy to deliver results for the Company's stockholders.

**The Company's existing corporate governance practices promote transparency and accountability, while providing stockholders with effective access to the Board.**

The Board is already highly accountable to stockholders. The Company has implemented comprehensive governance practices and policies that enable stockholders to hold the Board accountable and, where necessary, take quick action to support their interests between annual meetings. Elements of this comprehensive package include:

• Directors are elected annually, with majority voting for
uncontested Director elections;

• the Company was among the first U.S. companies to adopt the
"proxy access" right for its stockholders;

• a stockholder or group of stockholders holding 10% or more
of our outstanding shares may call a special meeting;

• our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and
By-Laws have no supermajority provisions; and

• the Company regularly seeks to engage with its stockholders
to better understand their perspectives.

The Company's existing corporate governance practices and policies give stockholders sufficient means to take actions which might otherwise be taken by written consent. There is, accordingly, no need for stockholders to be provided with the right to act by written consent.

**The Company's current practice is consistent with market practice.**

The Company's current practice of not permitting stockholder action by written consent is consistent with the practice of most other large public companies. A significant majority of S&P 500 companies, 70%, either do not permit stockholders to act by written consent or require that any stockholder action by written consent be unanimous (which is effectively the same as not permitting action by written consent for a large public company). As such, the Board believes that the combination of our ongoing dialogue with stockholders and our current corporate governance practices, including a meaningful special meeting right and proxy access right, renders the proposal's implementation unnecessary and not aligned with stockholders' interests.

**Required Vote; Recommendation Only.**

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of shares of the Company's Common Stock present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter is required to approve this proposal. Stockholders should be aware that this proposal is simply a request that the Board take action stated in the proposal. Approval of this proposal may not result in the requested action being taken by the Board, and therefore, its approval would not implement the actions requested by the proposal.

(1) The Vanguard Group, Inc. ("Vanguard") previously reported on Amendment No. 11 to its Schedule 13G filing with the Securities
and Exchange Commission filed February 13, 2024, its ownership as of December 29, 2023, which included sole voting power over 0 shares,
sole dispositive power over 40,319,597 shares, shared voting power over 137,926 shares, and shared dispositive power over 567,036 shares,
collectively representing approximately 13.05% of our outstanding shares as of the record date. Based on Amendment No. 12 to the Schedule
13G filed by Vanguard on March 27, 2026, we understand that Vanguard went through an internal realignment on January 12, 2026, and, in
accordance with SEC Release No. 34-39538 (January 12, 1998), certain subsidiaries or business divisions of subsidiaries of Vanguard, that
formerly had, or were deemed to have, beneficial ownership with Vanguard, will report beneficial ownership separately (on a disaggregated
basis) from Vanguard in reliance on such release. These subsidiaries and/or business divisions pursue the same investment strategies as
previously pursued by Vanguard prior to the realignment. Further, in accordance with SEC Release No. 34-39538 (January 12, 1998), Vanguard
no longer has, or is deemed to have, beneficial ownership over securities beneficially owned by such subsidiaries and/or business divisions.
Accordingly, we have removed Vanguard from the foregoing table.

(2) The number of shares held and percentage of outstanding shares were obtained from the holder's Amendment No. 15 to Schedule 13G
filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission filed January 24, 2024, which reports ownership as of December 31, 2023. The Schedule
13G/A filing indicates that the holder had sole voting power over 35,380,606 shares, sole dispositive power over 36,599,601 shares, shared
voting power over 0 shares, and shared dispositive power over 0 shares.

(3) The number of shares held and percentage of outstanding shares were obtained from the holder's Schedule 13G filing with the Securities
and Exchange Commission filed November 13, 2025 which reports ownership as of September 30, 2025. The Schedule 13G filing indicates that
the holder had sole voting power over 16,948,328 shares, sole dispositive power over 16,948,328 shares, shared voting power over 0 shares,
and shared dispositive power over 0 shares.

**Certain Transactions And Other Matters**

We or one of our subsidiaries may occasionally enter into transactions with certain "related persons." Related persons include our executive officers, directors, nominees for directors, 5% or more beneficial owners of our Common Stock, and immediate family members of these persons. We refer to transactions involving amounts in excess of $120,000 and in which the related person has a direct or indirect material interest as "related person transactions." Each related person transaction must be approved in accordance with the Company's written Related Person Transactions Policy by the Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of Directors or, if the Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of Directors determines that the approval of such related person transaction should be considered by all disinterested members of the Board of Directors, by the vote of a majority of such disinterested members. There were no related person transactions since January 1, 2025.

The Corporate Governance Committee considers all relevant factors when determining whether to approve a related person transaction, including, without limitation, the following:

• the size of the transaction and the amount payable to a related
person;

• the nature of the interest of the related person in the transaction;

• whether the transaction may involve a conflict of interest;

• whether the transaction was undertaken in the ordinary course of business of the Company; and

• whether the transaction involves the provision of goods or services to the Company that are available
from unaffiliated third parties and, if so, whether the transaction is on terms and made under circumstances that are at least as favorable
to the Company as would be available in comparable transactions with or involving unaffiliated third parties.

The Company's Related Person Transactions Policy is available through the "Investor Relations, Corporate Governance" portion of the Company's website, www.westernunion.com.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ![](wu4500131_def14a1x112x1.jpg) | &nbsp;&nbsp;Why did I receive these materials? |

---

**A:** Our Board of Directors has made these materials available to you on the Internet or, upon your request, has delivered printed versions of these materials to you by mail, in connection with the Board's solicitation of proxies for use at our Annual Meeting, which will take place on May 14, 2026, or any adjournment or postponement thereof. Our stockholders are invited to attend the Annual Meeting and are requested to vote on the proposals described in this Proxy Statement.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ![](wu4500131_def14a1x112x1.jpg) | &nbsp;&nbsp;What does it mean if I receive more than one notice of internet availability of proxy materials or set of proxy materials? |

---

**A:** This means you hold shares of the Company in more than one way. For example, you may own some shares directly as a Registered Holder and other shares through a broker or you may own shares through more than one broker, agent or other nominee (a "broker"). In these situations, you may receive multiple Notices of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or, if you request proxy materials to be delivered to you by mail, Proxy Cards. It is necessary for you to vote, sign, and return all of the Proxy Cards or follow the instructions for any alternative voting procedure on each of the Notices of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials you receive in order to vote all of the shares you own. If you request proxy materials to be delivered to you by mail, each Proxy Card you receive will come with its own prepaid return envelope; if you vote by mail, make sure you return each Proxy Card in the return envelope that accompanied that Proxy Card.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ![](wu4500131_def14a1x112x1.jpg) | &nbsp;&nbsp;Why did my household receive only one copy of the notice of internet availability of proxy materials or proxy materials? |

---

**A:** In addition to furnishing proxy materials electronically, we take advantage of the SEC's "householding" rules to reduce the delivery cost of materials. Under such rules, only one Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or, if you have requested paper copies, only one set of proxy materials is delivered to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless we have received contrary instructions from one or more of the stockholders. If you are a stockholder sharing an address and wish to receive a separate Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or copy of the proxy materials, you may so request by contacting the Broadridge Householding Department by phone at 1-866-540-7095 or by mail to Broadridge Householding Department, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, NY 11717. A separate copy of the proxy materials will be promptly provided following receipt of your request, and you will receive separate materials in the future. If you currently share an address with another stockholder but are nonetheless receiving separate copies of the materials, you may request delivery of a single copy in the future by contacting the Broadridge Householding Department at the number or address shown above.

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ![](wu4500131_def14a1x112x1.jpg) | &nbsp;&nbsp;Does my vote matter and what is a quorum? |

---

**A: YOUR VOTE MATTERS!** We are required to obtain stockholder approval for the election of directors and other important matters. Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote and every share voted has the same weight. In order for the Company to obtain the necessary stockholder approval of proposals, a "quorum" of stockholders (a majority of the issued and outstanding shares entitled to vote) must be represented at the Annual Meeting in person or by proxy. If a quorum is not obtained, the Company must adjourn or postpone the Annual Meeting and solicit additional proxies; this is an expensive and time-consuming process that is not in the best interest of the Company or its stockholders. Accordingly, we encourage you to vote promptly by one of the methods described below to ensure your shares are counted. See also below "How Many Votes are Required to Approve a Proposal?"

|:---|:---|
| ![](wu4500131_def14a1x112x1.jpg) | &nbsp;&nbsp;How do I vote? |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ![](wu4500131_def14a1x113x1.jpg) | **A: By Telephone or Internet** — You may vote your shares via telephone as instructed on the Proxy Card, or the Internet as instructed on the Proxy Card or the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials. The telephone and Internet procedures are designed to authenticate your identity, to allow you to vote your shares, and confirm that your instructions have been properly recorded. The telephone and Internet voting facilities will close at 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on May 13, 2026. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ![](wu4500131_def14a1x113x2.jpg) | **By Mail** — If you request or otherwise receive one or more paper Proxy Cards, you may elect to vote by mail. If you elect to do so, you should complete, sign, and date each Proxy Card you receive, indicating your voting preference on each proposal, and return each Proxy Card in the prepaid envelope that accompanied each Proxy Card. If you return a signed and dated Proxy Card but you do not indicate your voting preferences, your shares will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of the Board of Directors. By returning your signed and dated Proxy Card or providing instructions by the alternative voting procedure in time to be received for the Annual Meeting, you authorize Devin McGranahan and Benjamin Adams to act as your proxies (the "Proxies") to vote your shares of Common Stock as specified. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ![](wu4500131_def14a1x113x3.jpg) | **By Tablet or Smartphone** — If you are a Beneficial Holder, you may vote your shares online with your tablet or smartphone by scanning the QR code. If you are a Registered Holder, you may vote your shares online with your tablet or smartphone by scanning the QR code on your Proxy Card. The ability to vote in this way by tablet or smartphone will expire at 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on May 13, 2026. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ![](wu4500131_def14a1x113x4.jpg) | **At the Annual Meeting** — Shares held in your name as a Registered Holder may be voted by you in person at the Annual Meeting. Shares held by Beneficial Holders may be voted by you in person at the Annual Meeting only if you obtain a legal proxy from the broker that holds your shares giving you the right to vote the shares, and you bring such proxy to the Annual Meeting. For shares held in The Western Union Company Incentive Savings Plan (the "ISP"), that plan's trustee will vote such shares as directed. If no direction is given on how to vote such shares to the trustee by mail on or before May 11, 2026 or by Internet, telephone, tablet or smartphone by 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on May 11, 2026, the trustee will vote your shares held in that ISP in the same proportion as the shares for which it receives instructions from all other participants in the ISP. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ![](wu4500131_def14a1x112x1.jpg) | &nbsp;&nbsp;How many votes are required to approve a proposal? |

---

**A:** The Company's By-Laws (the "By-Laws") require that directors be elected by the majority of votes cast with respect to such director in uncontested elections (the number of shares voted "for" a director must exceed the number of votes cast "against" that director with abstentions and broker non-votes not counted as votes "for" or "against"). In a contested election (a situation in which the number of nominees exceeds the number of directors to be elected), the standard for election of directors will be a plurality of the votes of the shares represented in person or by proxy at any such meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors.

The advisory vote to approve executive compensation (Proposal 2), the ratification of Ernst & Young LLP's selection as independent registered public accounting firm for 2026 (Proposal 3), approval of the Company's 2026 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (Proposal 4) and the stockholder proposal regarding stockholder right to act by written consent (Proposal 5) each require the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of Common Stock present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote thereon.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ![](wu4500131_def14a1x112x1.jpg) | &nbsp;&nbsp;What is the effect of not voting? |

---

**A:** It depends on how ownership of your shares is registered and the proposal to be voted upon. If you own shares as a Registered Holder, rather than through a broker, your unvoted shares will not be represented at the Annual Meeting and will not count toward the quorum requirement.

If you own shares as a Beneficial Holder through a broker and do not give voting instructions to your broker, your broker may represent your shares at the meeting for purposes of obtaining a quorum by voting on "routine matters" as further described in the answer to the following question, but will not be able to vote on any "non-routine" matter without your instruction.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ![](wu4500131_def14a1x112x1.jpg) | &nbsp;&nbsp;If I don't vote, will my broker vote for me? Which matters are considered "routine"? |

---

**A:** If you own your shares as a Beneficial Holder through a broker and you don't vote, your broker may vote your shares in its discretion on some "routine matters." With respect to other proposals, however, your broker may not vote your shares for you. With respect to these proposals, the aggregate number of unvoted shares is reported as the "broker non-vote." A "broker non-vote" share will not affect the determination of whether the matter is approved. The Company believes that the proposal to ratify Ernst & Young LLP's selection as independent registered public accounting firm for 2026 (Proposal 3) set forth in this Proxy Statement is the only routine matter to be presented at the Annual Meeting on which brokers will be permitted to vote shares on your behalf, even without voting instructions. If your broker votes these shares on your behalf, your shares will be counted as present for purposes of establishing a quorum at the Annual Meeting.

Other than Proposal 3, the Company believes that all proposals set forth in this Proxy Statement are not considered routine matters and brokers will not be able to vote on behalf of their clients if no voting instructions have been furnished. Please give your broker voting instructions on all proposals to ensure your shares are represented in the vote.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ![](wu4500131_def14a1x112x1.jpg) | &nbsp;&nbsp;How are abstentions treated? |

---

**A:** Whether you own your shares as a Registered Holder or as a Beneficial Holder, abstentions are counted toward the quorum requirement and have the same effect as votes "against" a proposal, other than the proposal to elect directors (Proposal 1), on which they have no effect.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ![](wu4500131_def14a1x112x1.jpg) | &nbsp;&nbsp;If I own my shares through a broker, how is my vote recorded? |

---

**A:** Brokers typically own shares of Common Stock for many stockholders. In this situation, the Registered Holder on the Company's stock register is the broker. This often is referred to as holding shares in "Street Name." The Beneficial Holders of such shares do not appear in the Company's stockholder register. If you hold your shares in Street Name, and elect to vote via telephone, Internet, tablet or smartphone, your vote will be submitted to your broker. If you request paper Proxy Cards and elect to vote by mail, the accompanying return envelope is addressed to return your executed Proxy Card with voting instructions to your broker. Shortly before the Annual Meeting, each broker will total the votes submitted by telephone, Internet, tablet or smartphone or mail by the Beneficial Holders for whom it holds shares and submit a Proxy Card reflecting the aggregate votes of such Beneficial Holders. If you would like to vote at the Annual Meeting see "How Do I Vote? – At the Annual Meeting" above.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ![](wu4500131_def14a1x112x1.jpg) | &nbsp;&nbsp;Is my vote confidential? |

---

**A:** In accordance with the Company's Corporate Governance Guidelines, the vote of any stockholder will not be revealed to anyone other than a non-employee tabulator of votes or an independent election inspector (the "Inspector of Election"), except (i) as necessary to meet applicable legal and stock exchange listing requirements, (ii) to assert claims for or defend claims against the Company, (iii) to allow the Inspector of Election to certify the results of the stockholder vote, (iv) in the event a proxy, consent, or other solicitation in opposition to the voting recommendation of the Board of Directors takes place, (v) if a stockholder has requested that his or her vote be disclosed, or (vi) to respond to stockholders who have written comments on Proxy Cards.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ![](wu4500131_def14a1x112x1.jpg) | &nbsp;&nbsp;Can I revoke my proxy and change my vote? |

---

**A:** Yes. You have the right to revoke your proxy at any time prior to the time your shares are voted. If you are a Registered Holder, your proxy can be revoked in several ways: (i) by delivery of a written revocation to the Corporate Secretary, The Western Union Company, 7001 E. Belleview Avenue, Denver, Colorado 80237, by 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on May 13, 2026, (ii) by timely submission of another valid proxy bearing a later date (including through any alternative voting procedure described on the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or Proxy Card), or (iii) by attending the Annual Meeting and giving the Inspector of Election notice that you intend to vote your shares in person. If your shares are held by a broker, you must contact your broker to receive instructions on how to revoke your proxy. See "How do I Vote?" above for additional information about how to timely submit another proxy.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ![](wu4500131_def14a1x112x1.jpg) | &nbsp;&nbsp;Will any other business be transacted at the meeting? If so, how will my proxy be voted? |

---

**A:** Management does not know of any business to be transacted at the Annual Meeting other than those matters described in this Proxy Statement. The period specified in the Company's By-Laws for submitting additional proposals to be considered at the Annual Meeting has passed and there are no such proposals to be considered. However, should any other matters properly come before the Annual Meeting, and any adjournments and postponements thereof, shares with respect to which voting authority has been granted to the Proxies will be voted by the Proxies in accordance with their judgment.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ![](wu4500131_def14a1x112x1.jpg) | &nbsp;&nbsp;Who counts the votes? |

---

**A:** Votes will be counted and certified by the Inspector of Election, who is an employee of Equiniti Trust Company, the Company's Transfer Agent and Registrar ("Equiniti"). If you are a Registered Holder, your telephone, Internet, tablet, or smartphone vote is submitted, or your executed Proxy Card is returned, directly to Equiniti for tabulation. As noted above, if you hold your shares as a Beneficial Holder, your broker returns a single Proxy Card to Equiniti on behalf of its clients.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ![](wu4500131_def14a1x112x1.jpg) | &nbsp;&nbsp;How much does the proxy solicitation cost? |

---

**A:** The Company has engaged the firm of Sodali & Co., 333 Ludlow Street, 5th Floor, South Tower, Stampford, CT 06902, to assist in distributing and soliciting proxies for a fee of approximately $17,000, plus expenses. However, the proxy solicitor fee is only a small fraction of the total cost of the proxy process. A significant expense in the proxy process is printing and mailing the proxy materials. The Company will also reimburse brokers, fiduciaries, and custodians for their costs in forwarding proxy materials to Beneficial Holders of our Common Stock. Proxies also may be solicited on behalf of the Company by directors, officers, or employees of the Company in person or by mail, telephone, email, or facsimile transmission. No additional compensation will be paid to such directors, officers, or employees for soliciting proxies. The Company will bear the entire cost of solicitation of proxies, including the preparation, assembly, printing, and mailing of the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, and this Proxy Statement and the accompanying Proxy Card, Notice of Meeting, and 2025 Annual Report.

**ANNEX A**

**The Western Union Company Employee Stock Purchase Plan**

The Board of Directors of The Western Union Company, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), adopted The Western Union Company Employee Stock Purchase Plan on February 19, 2026 (such plan, as may be amended and/or restated from time to time, the "Plan"), subject to stockholder approval of the Plan at the Company's 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "2026 Annual Meeting"). The effective date of the Plan shall be the date on which it is approved by the Company's stockholders at the 2026 Annual Meeting (the "Effective Date"), and the Plan shall remain in effect, subject to the right of the Board to amend or terminate the Plan at any time pursuant to Section 10.1 hereof, until all of the shares of Common Stock (as defined below) authorized under the Plan have been purchased according to the Plan's provisions.

**Article 1 Purpose Of The Plan**

The Company has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to provide an incentive to attract and retain employees and to increase morale by providing a program through which employees may acquire a proprietary interest in the Company through the purchase and issuance of shares of Common Stock. The Plan shall permit Participants (as defined below) to purchase shares of Common Stock through payroll deductions and, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Participants will be eligible to receive restricted stock units granted hereunder. Participation in the Plan is entirely voluntary and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries makes any recommendations to Participants as to whether they should participate in the Plan.

**Article 3 Eligibility And Participation**

**3.1.** **ELIGIBILITY.** Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, any Eligible Person shall be eligible to participate in the Plan. For purposes of participation in the Plan, an individual who is on an unpaid leave of absence from such individual's employment with a Participating Company shall be deemed to be employed for the first 90 days of such leave of absence and such individual's employment shall be deemed to have terminated at the close of business on the 90th day of such leave of absence unless such individual shall have returned to regular full-time or part time employment (as the case may be) prior to the close of business on such 90th day or unless such individual has a right to reemployment that is guaranteed either by statute or contract (including, for avoidance of doubt, any guaranteed right to reemployment provided under any non U.S. law, contract or policy). An individual who is on a paid leave of absence from such individual's employment with a Participating Company shall be deemed to be employed for the length of such paid leave of absence. Termination by the applicable Participating Company of any individual's leave of absence, other than termination of such leave of absence on return to full-time or part-time employment, shall terminate such individual's employment for all purposes of the Plan and shall terminate such individual's participation in the Plan, unless such individual has a right to reemployment that is guaranteed either by statute or contract.

**3.2.** **PARTICIPATION.** An Eligible Person who has satisfied the eligibility requirements of Section 3.1 may become a Participant in the Plan by completing an authorization for Participant Contributions on the form to be provided by the Company (and such other documents as may be required by the Committee) and delivering such forms and documents to the Company or an agent designated by the Company on or before the date set by the Committee, which date shall be prior to the Start Date of the applicable Offering Period (the "Enrollment Procedures").

**3.3.** **SPECIAL RULES.** In the event that a person is excluded from participation in the Plan and a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the person is eligible to participate in the Plan, the person shall be treated as an Eligible Person only from the date of the court's determination and shall not be entitled to retroactive participation in the Plan.

**Article 4 Participant Contributions**

**U4.1.PARTICIPANT ELECTION.** Pursuant to the Enrollment Procedures, each Participant shall designate the amount of payroll deductions, solely on an after-tax basis, to be made from his or her paycheck ("Participant Contributions") to purchase shares of Common Stock under the Plan. Participant Contributions shall be designated in whole percentages of Base Earnings, up to a maximum of 15% (or such other maximum percentage or dollar value as determined by the Committee). Participant Contributions shall be deducted pro rata from checks issued to such Participant during the Offering Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may the aggregate amount of Participant Contributions for any calendar year exceed $2,000 per Participant (unless otherwise determined by the Committee). The amount so designated by the Participant shall continue until terminated or altered in accordance with Section 4.2 below.

**4.2.CHANGES IN ELECTION; WITHDRAWAL; TERMINATION.**

**(a) Change in Payroll Deductions.** A Participant may withdraw, terminate or discontinue participation in the Plan at any time as provided in Section 4.2(b) and Section 4.2(c) hereof. However, unless otherwise determined by the Committee before the beginning of Offering Period, a Participant may not alter, decrease or increase the rate of his or her Participant Contributions for a specific Offering Period during such Offering Period. A change with respect to a future Offering Period shall be made by delivering to the Company or an agent designated by the Company a new, completed authorization form (and such other documents as may be required by the Committee). Any such new election shall remain in effect until subsequently modified by the Participant pursuant to this Section 4.2.

**(b)** **Withdrawal.** A Participant may withdraw Participant Contributions credited to the Participant's account during an Offering Period prior to the last day of such Offering Period by giving sufficient prior written notice to the Company or an agent designated by the Company in accordance with the administrative guidelines established by the Company or its agent. Given sufficient prior written notice, all of the Participant Contributions previously credited to the Participant's account which have not already been used to purchase shares of Common Stock will be paid to the Participant promptly (without interest, unless otherwise required by Applicable Law) after receipt of the Participant's notice of withdrawal, and no further Participant Contributions will be made during such Offering Period.

Participant's accumulated Participant Contributions as an election to withdraw such Contributions. A Participant's withdrawal from any Offering Period will not have any effect upon the Participant's eligibility to participate in any subsequent Offering Period or in any similar plan which may hereafter be adopted by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Participant withdraws during an Offering Period, Participant Contributions shall not resume at the beginning of a succeeding Offering Period, unless the Participant is eligible to participate and the Participant delivers to the Company or an agent designated by the Company a new, completed authorization form (and such other documents as may be required by the Committee) and otherwise complies with the terms of the Plan.

**(c)** **Termination of Employment; Participant Ineligibility.** Upon termination of a Participant's employment for any reason (including but not limited to termination due to death, but excluding any paid leave of absence, any unpaid leave of absence for a period of less than 90 days, or any leave of absence of any duration where reemployment is guaranteed by either statute or contract), or in the event that a Participant otherwise ceases to be an Eligible Person, the Participant's participation in the Plan shall be terminated, unless otherwise required by Applicable Law. In the event of a Participant's termination of employment or in the event that a Participant otherwise ceases to be an Eligible Person, the Participant Contributions credited to the Participant's account, to the extent they have not already been used to purchase shares of Common Stock, will be returned (without interest, unless otherwise required by Applicable Law) to the Participant, or, in the case of death, to a beneficiary duly designated on a form acceptable to the Committee, and the Participant shall not be entitled to any shares of Common Stock or Match RSUs (as defined below) in respect of such Participant Contributions. For the avoidance of doubt, the transfer of employment from a Participating Company to a Subsidiary which has not been designated as a Participating Company shall constitute a termination of the Participant's employment for purposes of this Plan.

**4.3. PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS.** The Company shall establish and maintain a separate Account for each Participant. The amount of each Participant's Participant Contributions shall be credited to his or her Account. No interest shall accrue at any time for any amount credited to an Account of a Participant.

**Article 5 Purchase Of Stock; Fractional Shares**

**U4.1.PARTICIPANT ELECTION.** Pursuant to the Enrollment Procedures, each Participant shall designate the amount of payroll deductions, solely on an after-tax basis, to be made from his or her paycheck ("Participant Contributions") to purchase shares of Common Stock under the Plan. Participant Contributions shall be designated in whole percentages of Base Earnings, up to a maximum of 15% (or such other maximum percentage or dollar value as determined by the Committee). Participant Contributions shall be deducted pro rata from checks issued to such Participant during the Offering Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may the aggregate amount of Participant Contributions for any calendar year exceed $2,000 per Participant (unless otherwise determined by the Committee). The amount so designated by the Participant shall continue until terminated or altered in accordance with Section 4.2 below.

**(a)** **Purchase of Common Stock.** Within 10 days following the end of the Offering Period, the amount credited to a Participant's Account shall be transferred by the Participating Company to the Broker, and the Plan shall cause the Broker to use such amount to purchase shares of Common Stock on the open market on the Participant's behalf (such shares, the "ESPP Shares"). With respect to each Offering Period, the last day of the Offering Period shall hereinafter be referred to as a "Purchase Date." Any balance remaining after the purchase shall be credited to the Participant's Account and will be automatically re-invested in a subsequent Offering Period, unless the Participant timely revokes such Participant's authorization to re-invest such excess amounts or the Company elects to return such Participant Contributions to the Participant. Prior to the issuance of the ESPP Shares to the Participant, such Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to the ESPP Shares.

**(b)** **Fractional Shares.** Fractional shares shall be issued under the Plan, unless otherwise determined by the Committee.

**5.2. FEES AND COMMISSIONS.** The Company shall pay the Broker's administrative charges for opening the Share Accounts for the Participants and the brokerage commissions on purchases made that are attributable to the vesting and settlement of Match RSUs and the purchase of shares of Common Stock with Participant Contributions. Participants shall pay all other expenses of their Share Account, including but not limited to the Broker's fees attributable to the issuance of certificates for any and all shares of Common Stock held in a Participant's Share Account. Participants shall also pay the brokerage commissions and any charges associated with the sale of Common Stock held in the Participant's Share Account.

**Article 6 Company Match**

**6.1.** **ELIGIBILITY TO RECEIVE MATCH RSUS; MATCH FORMULA.** With respect to each Offering Period, each Participant who remains employed through the end of the Offering Period and applicable grant date shall be eligible to receive a grant of Restricted Stock Units ("Match RSUs"), subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee prior to the commencement of an Offering Period, the number of Match RSUs to be granted to the Participant with respect to each Offering Period in which the Participant participates shall be determined by multiplying the Participant Contributions for such Offering Period by 25% (the "Matching Contributions") and dividing the Matching Contributions by the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the last day of the Offering Period.

**6.2.** **AWARD AGREEMENT.** Any such Match RSUs shall be granted to the Participant as soon as practicable following the last day of the Offering Period (subject to the Participant's continued employment through the end of the Offering Period and the applicable grant date). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the grant of Match RSUs hereunder shall be contingent upon, if so required by the Committee, the Participant's execution or acceptance of an Award Agreement evidencing the grant of the Match RSUs.

**6.3.** **VESTING; SETTLEMENT; OTHER TERMS.** Unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, (i) the Match RSUs shall be fully vested as of the date of grant, and (ii) shall be settled in accordance with the terms of the Award Agreement. Prior to the settlement of a Match RSU, the holder of such award shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to the shares of Common Stock subject to such award. No shares of Common Stock and no certificates or other indicia of ownership representing shares of Common Stock that are subject to a Match RSU Award Agreement shall be issued upon the grant of Match RSUs. Instead, shares of Common Stock subject to Match RSUs and the certificates or other indicia of ownership representing such shares of Common Stock shall only be distributed at the time of settlement of such Match RSUs in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Plan and the Award Agreement relating to such Match RSUs.

**Article 7 Termination Of Employment**

In the event that a Participant's employment with the Participating Company terminates for any reason, the Participant will cease to be a Participant in the Plan as of the date of termination of employment. All cash in the Participant's Account will be paid to the Participant. The Broker may continue to maintain the Participant's Share Account on behalf of the Participant; however, the Participant's Share Account will cease to be administered under or have any other affiliation with the Plan. As of the date of termination of employment, as applicable, the Participant shall pay for any and all expenses and costs related to his or her Share Account, including but not limited to the brokerage commissions on purchases of shares of Common Stock made on or after the date of termination and any other fees, commissions, or charges for which the Participant would otherwise have been responsible for if he or she had continued to be a Participant in the Plan.

(a) The Plan shall be administered by the Committee, unless the Board elects to assume administration of the Plan in whole or in part. References to the "Committee" include the Board if it is acting in an administrative capacity with respect to the Plan. Committee members shall be intended to qualify as "independent directors" (or terms of similar meaning) if and to the extent required under Applicable Law. However, the fact that a Committee member shall fail to qualify as an independent director shall not invalidate any Purchase Right or other action taken by the Committee under the Plan.

(b) In addition to action by meeting in accordance with Applicable Law, any action of the Committee may be taken by a written instrument signed by all of the members of the Committee and any action so taken by written consent shall be as fully effective as if it had been taken by a majority of the members at a meeting duly held and called.

**8.2.** **LIMITATION ON LIABILITY.** No member of the Board or Committee, and no officer or employee to whom the Committee delegates any of its power and authority hereunder, shall be liable for any act, omission, interpretation, construction or determination made in connection with this Plan in good faith, and the members of the Board and the Committee and officers and employees shall be entitled to indemnification and reimbursement by the Company in respect of any claim, loss, damage or expense (including attorneys' fees) arising therefrom to the full extent permitted by law (except as otherwise may be provided in the Company's certificate of incorporation and/or by-laws) and under any directors' and officers' liability insurance that may be in effect from time to time and applicable to the individual.

**9.2.** **RIGHTS AS A STOCKHOLDER.** No Participant or other person shall have any rights as a stockholder unless and until certificates for shares of Common Stock are issued to the Participant or such shares are credited to the Participant's Share Account.

**9.3.** **ADJUSTMENTS.** In the event of any merger, reorganization, consolidation, Change in Control, recapitalization, liquidation, stock dividend, split-up, spinoff, stock split, reverse stock split, share combination, share exchange, extraordinary dividend, or any change in the corporate structure affecting the shares of Common Stock, such adjustment shall be made in the number and kind of shares of Common Stock that may be purchased under the Plan as set forth in Section 9.1 and provisions of the Plan and any Award Agreements issued under the Plan may be adjusted, as may be determined to be appropriate and equitable by the Committee, in its sole discretion. The decision by the Committee regarding any such adjustment shall be final, binding and conclusive.

**9.4.** **CHANGE IN CONTROL.** In addition, without limiting the effect of Section 9.3, in the event of a Change in Control, the Committee's discretion shall include, but shall not be limited to, the authority to provide for any of, or a combination of any of, the following: (i) each Purchase Right shall be assumed (including the right to receive Match RSUs) or an equivalent purchase right (including the matching component) shall be substituted by the successor entity or parent or subsidiary of such successor entity; (ii) a date selected by the Committee on or before the date of consummation of such Change in Control shall be treated as a Purchase Date and all outstanding Purchase Rights shall be exercised and any Matching RSUs in respect thereof shall be granted on such date; (iii) all outstanding Purchase Rights shall terminate and the accumulated Participant Contributions will be refunded to each Participant upon or prior to the Change in Control (without interest, unless otherwise required by Applicable Law); or (iv) outstanding Purchase Rights (including the right to receive Match RSUs) shall continue unchanged.

Upon termination of the Plan, all cash in the Participant's Account will be paid to the Participant. The Broker may continue to maintain the Participant's Share Account on behalf of the Participant; however, the Participant's Share Account will cease to be administered under or have any other affiliation with the Plan, and the Participant shall thereafter be responsible for any and all expenses and costs related to his or her Share Account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment or termination shall affect rights previously granted, nor may an amendment make any change in any right previously granted, in each case, which would which materially and adversely affect the rights of any Participant without the consent of such Participant.

**10.2.** **TAX WITHHOLDING.** The Company (or other Participating Company, as applicable) shall have the right to deduct from all amounts payable or provided to a Participant (whether under this Plan or otherwise) any taxes required by law to be withheld in respect of amounts payable or provided under this Plan.

**10.4.** **NO ENLARGEMENT OF EMPLOYEE RIGHTS.** This Plan is strictly a voluntary undertaking on the part of the Participating Company and shall not be deemed to constitute a contract between the Participating Company and any Eligible Person or to be consideration for, or an inducement to, or a condition of, the employment of any Eligible Person. Nothing contained in the Plan shall be deemed to give the right to any Eligible Person to be retained as an employee of, or otherwise by, the Participating Company or to interfere with the right of the Participating Company to discharge any Eligible Person at any time.

**10.5.** **GOVERNING LAW.** This Plan, each award hereunder and the related Award Agreements, and all determinations made and actions taken pursuant thereto, to the extent not otherwise governed by the Code or the laws of the United States, shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware and construed in accordance therewith without giving effect to principles of conflicts of laws.

**10.6.** **NON-BUSINESS DAYS.** When any act under the Plan is required to be performed on a day that falls on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, that act shall be performed on the next preceding day which is not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday.

**10.9.** **SECTION 409A OF THE CODE.** The ESPP Shares and Match Shares are intended to be exempt from the application of Section 409A of the Code, including under the short-term deferral exception, and any ambiguities shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent, and each issuance to a Participant hereunder shall be considered a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. In furtherance of the foregoing and notwithstanding any provision in the ESPP to the contrary, if the Committee determines that a Purchase Right, including an entitlement to Match Shares, granted under the ESPP may be subject to Section 409A of the Code or that any provision in the ESPP would cause a Purchase Right, including an entitlement to Match Shares, to be subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Committee may amend the terms of the ESPP and/or of an outstanding Purchase Right granted under the ESPP, or take such other action the Board determines is necessary or appropriate, in each case, without the Participant's consent, to exempt any outstanding Purchase Right, Match Share or future Purchase Rights or Match Shares from or to allow any such Purchase Rights and Match Shares to comply with Section 409A of the Code, but only to the extent any such amendments or action by the Board would not violate Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Company, the Participating Companies or any affiliate, or the Board, the Committee or any employee, director, advisor or representative any of the foregoing, shall have any obligation to take any action to prevent the assessment of any penalty or tax on any Person under Section 409A of the Code in respect of Purchase Rights, Match Shares, ESPP Shares, or otherwise, or (ii) liability to a Participant or other Person with respect to this Section 10.9 or taxes and penalties under Section 409A of the Code.

**Reconciliation Of Non-GAAP Measures**

**(in millions, unless indicated otherwise)**

Western Union's management believes the non-GAAP financial measures presented provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our operating results to assist management, investors, analysts, and others in understanding our financial results and to better analyze trends in our underlying business, because they provide consistency and comparability to prior periods or eliminate currency volatility, increasing the comparability of the Company's underlying results and trends.

A non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most comparable GAAP financial measure. A non-GAAP financial measure reflects an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that, when viewed with our GAAP results and the reconciliation to the corresponding GAAP financial measure, provides a more complete understanding of our business. Users of the financial statements are encouraged to review our financial statements and publicly-filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is included below. All adjusted year-over-year changes were calculated using prior year amounts.

The Company has not provided a quantitative reconciliation of forecasted adjusted earnings per share to forecasted GAAP earnings per share or forecasted adjusted free cash flow to forecasted GAAP net cash provided by operating activities because the Company cannot, without unreasonable effort, calculate certain reconciling items with confidence due to the variability, complexity, and limited visibility of the adjusting items that would be excluded from forecasted earnings per share and forecasted free cash flow.

**Footnotes:**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Represents the impact from the fluctuation in exchange rates between all foreign
currency denominated amounts and the United States dollar. Constant currency results exclude any benefit or loss caused by foreign exchange
fluctuations between foreign currencies and the United States dollar, net of foreign currency hedges, which would not have occurred if
there had been a constant exchange rate. Constant currency results also reflect the impact of Argentina inflation, where indicated, due
to its economy being hyperinflationary. The Company estimates Argentina inflation as the revenue growth not attributable to either transaction
growth or the change in price (revenue divided by principal). Argentina inflation has historically had a more significant impact to revenues
in the Company's Consumer Services segment, as proportionally, there are higher revenues generated from Argentina in the Company's
Consumer Services segment, relative to its Consumer Money Transfer segment. Beginning with the second quarter of 2025, the Company no
longer adjusts for the estimated impact of Argentinian hyperinflation in its non-GAAP revenue results, as inflation in the country has
moderated significantly - from over 200% in recent years to less than 50% since the second quarter of 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) During 2021, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its Business Solutions
business to Goldfinch Partners LLC and The Baupost Group LLC, the final closing of which occurred on July 1, 2023. Revenues have been
adjusted to exclude the carved out financial information for the Business Solutions business to compare the year-over-year changes and
trends in the Company's continuing businesses, excluding the effects of this divestiture.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Represents the impact from expenses incurred in connection with the Company's
acquisition and divestiture activity, including for the review and closing of these transactions, and integration costs directly related
to the Company's acquisitions, such as severance and consulting costs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Represents the non-cash amortization and impairment of acquired intangible assets in connection with recent
business acquisitions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Represented severance, expenses associated with streamlining the Company's
organizational and legal structure, and other expenses associated with the Company's program which redeployed expenses in its cost
base through optimizations in vendor management, real estate, marketing, and people strategy as previously announced in October 2022.
Expenses incurred under the program also included non-cash impairments of operating lease right-of-use assets and property and equipment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) Management excludes severance costs not related to acquisition, separation, and
integration activities in its measurement of non-GAAP profitability to focus on those factors it believes to be most relevant to the Company's
operations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) While the Company had previously made a decision to suspend its operations in Russia,
in 2024, the Company decided to pursue either liquidating or selling the Russian assets, which triggered a review of the carrying value
of these assets. In 2024, the Company recorded asset impairments of $13.4 million, related to its assets in Russia. Amounts presented
also include the costs associated with operating the Russian entity which are no longer needed for the Company's ongoing operations.
Beginning in 2024, the expenses have only been incurred in order to complete the liquidation or possible sale of the Russian assets. Additionally,
where indicated, the Company has excluded the impact of the foreign currency remeasurement of the Russian ruble because of the decision
to liquidate or sell the Russian assets.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) In 2024, the Company entered into a settlement with the IRS regarding the Company's
2017 and 2018 federal income tax returns. The Company is contesting the one remaining unagreed adjustment in the U.S. Tax Court and has
fully reserved for this unagreed adjustment. The Company has excluded the non-cash reversal of the uncertain tax position liability associated
with the settlement because of the significance of this settlement on its reported results. In 2025, the Company recorded non-cash state
tax benefits and interest accruals, both of which were associated with the previous federal tax settlement and that are also excluded
from adjusted earnings per share.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) In 2024, the Company reorganized the international operations of its business to
realign and consolidate the Company's international activities. The Company recognized deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowance,
associated with this reorganization, including from the step-up in tax basis associated with the reorganization. The Company has excluded
the non-cash recognition of the deferred tax assets associated with this reorganization because of the significance of this recognition
on its reported results. The company has also removed the non-cash reversal of these deferred tax assets from its 2025 adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) In addition to the income tax effects of the adjustments described above, 2024
included an adjustment to exclude an income tax benefit of $2.6 million related to the non-cash impact of remeasuring the Company's
deferred tax assets and liabilities for tax law changes that were enacted in that period in Barbados.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k) Represents installment payments on the tax liability on certain of our previously
undistributed earnings pursuant to United States tax reform legislation enacted in December 2017. The Company elected to pay this liability
in periodic installments through 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(l) Represents revenues from transactions originated in Iraq. Beginning in March 2023,
the Company experienced a significant increase in its business originating from Iraq. The Company believes this volume to have been the
effect of policy changes by United States and Iraqi regulators. In July 2023, the United States Treasury and the Federal Reserve Bank
of New York announced actions that banned 14 Iraqi banks, some of whom were the Company's agents, from conducting U.S. dollar transactions.
Additionally, in October 2023, the Central Bank of Iraq suspended the Company's largest agent in the country, although that agent
was later reinstated and resumed offering the Company's services. The effect of fluctuations between the Iraqi dinar and United
States dollar on reported revenues was not significant for these periods. Because of the significant volatility in revenues and disruptions
in offering the Company's services in the country, management believes that revenue measures that exclude the Iraq revenues provide
better consistency and comparability to prior periods and assist in understanding trends in the Company's ongoing revenues.
