2 ABOUT OUR CHARITABLE GIVING EFFORTS ENCOURAGING GIVING BACK is one of FIS Guiding Principles. With PASSION and PURPOSE, we encourage a culture of giving back to our CLIENTS, COMMUNITIES AND COLLEAGUES, globally, to make a positive difference. FIS FOUR AREAS OF GIVING The FIS Charitable Foundation complements the philanthropic efforts of our employees by providing financial support in excess of $1 million dollars annually to qualified organizations operating within our areas of focus. The foundation also considers financial donations, team contributions and matching donations upon request. FIS CHARITABLE FOUNDATION When disasters such as earthquakes, hurricanes, flooding, etc. strike, employees answer the call for help with monetary donations, supplies and volunteer hours. DISASTER AID Outside of the FIS Charitable Foundation s annual giving, our employees demonstrate their generous commitment to giving by regularly volunteering their own time and money in support of the organizations nearest and dearest to their hearts. EMPLOYEE FUNDRAISING Employees in the U.S. can donate $1 - $5 per pay period to help colleagues facing financial hardships due to catastrophic or unforeseen events. FIS CARES 1

11 FIS CARES FIS Cares is a peer-to-peer giving program designed to provide short-term support during times when catastrophic or unforeseen events result in severe financial hardship. U.S. employees can donate between $1 $5 per pay period to help pay for necessities such as medical expenses, temporary housing, food, clothing, utility bills and other basic needs. KATIE SURICO, FIS EMPLOYEE My daughter had some complications at birth and spent two and a half months in the NICU. I was urged to apply for an FIS Cares grant by my colleagues. The financial support from FIS Cares gave me the opportunity to bond with my newborn without worrying about medical bills. A year later, my daughter was put in a medically-induced coma and FIS Cares was there, once again, to assist with medical expenses. Going through these circumstances, I have seen that FIS is truly a family. It s great to work at a company where you can not only give, but receive. I go to bed every night knowing that my child is taken care of, and I have FIS to thank for that. FIS Cares helped me tremendously when Hurricane Irma struck my home, destroyed my roof and collapsed my kitchen, along with two other rooms. I was floored at the amount of support I received from the program. The money was enough to move into another home and replace items that were lost in the storm. Everything fell back into place and I couldn t have done it without the FIS Cares program. ROBIN HOEFLER, FIS EMPLOYEE 10
