Item 8.01 Other Events

On March 4, 2024 the Board of Directors of Evertec, Inc. (the “Company” or “Evertec”) approved an increase to Evertec’s existing share repurchase authorization to permit future repurchases of up to an aggregate of $220 million worth of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”) by December 31, 2025. Prior to this increase, the Company’s share repurchase program authorization had approximately $137 million remaining. Under the repurchase program, the Company may repurchase shares in the open market, through accelerated share repurchase programs, Rule 10b5-1 plans, or in privately negotiated transactions, subject to business opportunities and other factors.

On March 6, 2024, Evertec entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement (the “ASR Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A. (the “ASR Counterparty”) to repurchase an aggregate of $70 million of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”). The Company is funding the share repurchases under the ASR Agreement which are being made pursuant to the Company’s $220 million share repurchase program. After giving effect to the ASR Agreement, $150 million will remain available for share repurchases under the Company’s share repurchase program.

Under the terms of the ASR Agreement, the Company will make a payment of $70 million to the ASR Counterparty on March 8, 2024, and expects to receive on the same day an initial delivery of approximately 1.5 million shares of Common Stock from the ASR Counterparty. The final number of shares to be repurchased by the Company will be based on the average of the daily volume-weighted average price of the Company’s Common Stock during the term of the ASR Agreement, less a discount and subject to adjustments pursuant to the terms and conditions of the ASR Agreement. The resulting adjustments may affect the total amount expended by the Company or the aggregate number of shares it repurchases. The ASR Agreement contains customary terms for these types of transactions, including, but not limited to, the mechanisms to determine the number of shares of Common Stock or the amount of cash that will be delivered at settlement, the required timing of delivery of the shares of Common Stock, the specific circumstances under which adjustments may be made to the transaction, the specific circumstances under which the transaction may be terminated prior to its scheduled maturity and various acknowledgments, representations and warranties made by the Company and the ASR Counterparty to one another. At settlement, the ASR Counterparty may be required to deliver additional shares of Common Stock to the Company, or under certain circumstances, the Company may be required to deliver shares of Common Stock or to make a cash payment, at its election, to the ASR Counterparty. The final settlement of the transactions under the ASR Agreement is scheduled to occur by September 5, 2024, subject to earlier termination, as set forth in the ASR Agreement.
