Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On September 25, 2025, Todd Ford and Didier Lamouche were appointed to ACI Worldwide, Inc.’s (the “Company”) Board of Directors (the “Board”) as independent directors. A press release announcing the new directors is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.
Messrs. Ford and Lamouche will serve until the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and thereafter until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified. Each of Messrs. Ford and Lamouche will participate in the Company’s standard non-employee director compensation arrangements.
For a director to be considered independent, the Board must determine that the director does not have any direct or indirect material relationship with the Company. The Board has established guidelines to assist it in determining director independence which conform to the independence requirements in the NASDAQ Global Select Market listing standards. In accordance with these guidelines, the Board has determined that each of Messrs. Ford and Lamouche are independent. Neither Mr. Ford nor Mr. Lamouche is a party to any transaction, or series of transactions, required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
