**Item 8.01. Other Events**

On August 6, 2025, Global Payments Inc. (the "Company") entered into an accelerated share repurchase ("ASR") program to repurchase an aggregate of $500 million of the Company's shares of common stock as part of the Company's previously announced, board-approved share repurchase program. Approximately 4,676,174 shares of the Company's common stock to be repurchased under the ASR will be received by the Company on August 8, 2025. The total number of shares that the Company will repurchase under the ASR will generally be based on the average of the daily volume-weighted average prices of the Company's common stock during the repurchase period, less a discount and subject to adjustments pursuant to the terms of the ASR. Final settlement of the ASR is expected to occur no later than September 30, 2025.
