Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On March 28, 2023, FLEETCOR Technologies, Inc. (the "Company" or "FLEETCOR") announced the appointment of Tom Panther as Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), effective May 12, 2023.

“We are thrilled to welcome Tom to FLEETCOR. Tom is an experienced public company CFO who knows payments. He is a classically trained financial executive who can also help us run the business. We expect that he will hit the ground running,” said Ron Clarke, FLEETCOR’s Chairman and CEO.

Prior to joining FLEETCOR, Tom served as the CFO at EVO Payments, Inc. (“EVO”) prior to its acquisition by Global Payments Inc. Tom was instrumental in EVO delivering strong revenue growth and significant margin expansion, as well as executing a number of key initiatives, including international M&A, debt and capital financings, and serving as a key advisor to the Board regarding the recent sale of EVO. Prior to joining EVO, Tom worked at SunTrust Banks, Inc. for nearly 20 years serving in numerous leadership roles including Chief Accounting Officer, Corporate Controller, SVP of Corporate Finance, and Head of Capital Planning & Analysis. He began his career at Arthur Andersen, is a certified public accountant, and earned his bachelor’s degree from the University of Richmond.

Effective May 12, 2023, Tom's annual base salary will be $400,000, with a target bonus percentage under the Company’s annual cash incentive program of 75% of his base salary. In addition, Tom will receive the following equity grants upon his hiring: $1,600,000 (grant date fair value) in performance-based restricted stock that vests upon achievement of 2023 performance metrics and service requirements (prorated for the period of employment in 2023); and $1,200,000 (grant date fair value) in time-based stock options that vest ratably over four years. The Company has also entered into an indemnification agreement on the Company’s standard form with Mr. Panther.

With Tom's appointment, interim CFO Alissa Vickery will return to her full-time role as Chief Accounting Officer. “We’re super appreciative of Alissa stepping up to lead our finance organization over the past six months, she did a terrific job,” said Ron Clarke.

A copy of the press release issued by the Company on March 28, 2023 regarding Tom's appointment is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference into this Item 5.02.
