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

(b) On April 29, 2021, Evertec, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that Philip E. Steurer, the Company’s Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer since 2012, will no longer serve in that capacity as of the Effective Date (as the term is defined below). On the Effective Date, Mr. Steurer will transition to a new role as Senior Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer of the Company with a focus on product strategy, customer excellence and market opportunity. Mr. Steurer’s transition to a new role did not involve any disagreement with the Company with regard to its operations, policies or practices.

(c) On April 22, 2021, the Company appointed Diego Viglianco, as the Company’s Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer effective upon the finalization of U.S. work visa formalities which is expected to occur during the month of May (the “Effective Date”).

Mr. Viglianco, age 51, has served as Chief Executive Officer Officer of Interbanking S.A., a digital financial ACH/Real Time payments company headquartered in Argentina, from July 2019 to March 2021. Prior to this role, from 2017 to 2019, Mr. Viglianco served as CEO of the Processing Division for Prisma Medios de Pago S.A. (“Prisma”). Prior to joining Prisma, Mr. Viglianco held operational and commercial roles of increasing responsibility at Mastercard in Argentina and Miami, USA from 2000 to 2017, which included General Manager for the Spanish Speaking Caribbean, Customer Delivery Head, Vice President of Operations in Argentina, and Director of Operations in Argentina. Prior to joining Mastercard, Viglianco spent six years in México, where he worked as Systems Development Director at PROSA, Customer Service Director for NCR Corporation, and as a consultant for InterSoft Mexico. Prior to his time in Mexico, he worked as a consultant and systems development coordinator for various companies in Argentina.

Mr. Viglianco holds a master’s in business administration from Instituto Universitario ESEADE in Argentina, and a bachelor’s degree from the Universidad del Salvador, also in Argentina.

As part of Mr. Viglianco’s future employment with EVERTEC Group, LLC, the Company’s principal operating subsidiary (“Evertec Group”), Mr. Viglianco will receive an annual base salary of $330,000, which amount is subject to annual review by the Board or a committee thereof. Mr. Viglianco is eligible for annual cash incentive awards of up to 75% of his base salary under the Company’s Annual Performance Incentive Guidelines pro-rated for partial calendar years. Within thirty (30) business days of the Effective Date, Mr. Viglianco will receive two separate grants of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) as follows: (i) a recruitment grant of time-based RSUs valued at $250,000 as of the day before the date of grant (the “Recruitment Grant”), which will vest on the third anniversary of the date of grant, provided that Mr. Viglianco is employed Evertec Group on the vesting date and subject to the terms and conditions of the Recruitment RSU Grant award agreement and the Company’s Severance Policy; and (ii) a grant as part of the Company’s long-term incentive plan of 5,861 time-based RSUs and 7,841 performance-based RSUs (the “2021 LTIP Grant”; the Recruitment Grant and the 2021 LTIP Grant, collectively, the “Viglianco RSU Grants”), subject to terms and conditions of the 2021 LTIP Grant agreement and the Company’s Severance Policy.

Mr. Viglianco, like most of our executives, will be a party to the Company’s Severance Policy; therefore, upon termination of his employment without Cause or by Mr. Viglianco for Good Reason (as the terms are defined in the Company’s Severance Policy) prior to the vesting dates of the respective Viglianco RSU Grants, (a) the unvested time-based RSUs shall vest on a pro-rata basis as of the termination date (and the termination date shall be deemed the vesting date for said RSUs), and (b) the unvested performance-based RSUs shall vest and be settled following the end of the performance period based on actual performance determined at the end of the performance period on a pro-rata basis. In both instances, subject to the execution by Mr. Viglianco of a separation agreement and general release of all claims against the Company and its affiliates (a “Separation and Release Agreement”) by Mr. Viglianco. In the event Mr. Viglianco’s employment is terminated prior to the vesting date of the Viglianco RSU Grants pursuant to a Qualifying Termination within twenty-four months following a Change in Control (as

the terms are defined in the Company’s Severance Policy) then, subject to the execution by Mr. Viglianco of a Separation and Release Agreement, (a) the time-based RSUs shall become fully vested as of the termination date, and (b) unvested performance-based RSUs shall become fully vested as of the termination date based (x) on the actual level of performance to the extent the performance period was completed as of the Change of Control date or (y) at the target level of performance to the extent the performance period with respect to the relevant goal was not complete as of the Change of Control date.

As part of his employment, Mr. Viglianco shall be entitled to participate in the employee benefit plans, policies, practices and arrangements generally made available to our other executives as well as certain specified levels of health insurance, life insurance, short-term disability insurance and long-term disability insurance benefits, and twenty (20) days of paid vacation annually.

Mr. Viglianco shall be reimbursed for reasonable costs related to his relocation to Puerto Rico, including travel in connection with finding a residence, conduct his immigration process, any reasonable incidental expenses and up to three months of temporary housing not to exceed $30,000 related to his relocation to Puerto Rico.

As previously discussed, Mr. Viglianco will be a party to the Company’s Severance Policy. In the event Mr. Viglianco’s employment with Evertec Group is terminated by us without Cause or by Mr. Viglianco for Good Reason, Mr. Viglianco may be entitled to the severance benefits described in the Severance Policy, subject to the execution by Mr. Viglianco of a Separation and Release Agreement. The Severance Policy contains certain non-competition and non-solicitation covenants for the benefit of the Company and its affiliates during Mr. Viglianco’s employment and for one year following the termination of his employment, certain covenants relating to the protection of the Company’s confidential information, and a mutual non-disparagement covenant.

On March 15, 2021, Mr. Viglianco and the Company executed a professional services agreement, whereby Mr. Viglianco provides the Company consulting services prior to the Effective Date (the “Consulting Agreement”). Pursuant to the Consulting Agreement, Mr. Viglianco receives a consulting fee of USD $25,000 per month. The Consulting Agreement will terminate on the Effective Date.

There are no family relationships between Mr. Viglianco and any director or executive officer of the Company, and Mr. Viglianco is not a party to any transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
