Supports Sale of Debit Network

Calls For Comprehensive Review of Entire Asset Portfolio

Believes Further Board Change Needed

NEW YORK, July 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- JANA Partners ("JANA") today announced that it has sent a letter to the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Fiserv, Inc. (NASDAQ:FISV) ("Fiserv" or the "Company") calling on the Company to conduct a comprehensive strategic review of its entire portfolio and implement Board changes to address persistent governance issues.

The full text of the letter is as follows:

July 30, 2026

Board of Directors

Fiserv, Inc. (the "Company")

600 N. Vel R. Phillips Avenue

Milwaukee, WI 53203

Attention: Takis Georgakopoulos, Chief Executive Officer

Ladies & Gentlemen,

JANA Partners Management, LP ("we" or "us") are writing to express our support for the Company's reported decision to explore a sale of its debit network assets and to call upon the Board to take two further steps: first, to expand that process into a formal and comprehensive review of the Company's entire portfolio; and second, to implement additional Board change to address ongoing concerns regarding stewardship.

Following a highly tumultuous period for Fiserv that saw a dramatic earnings reset and a nearly 80% decline in its stock price from its 2025 highs, we invested in the Company on the basis that a turnaround could return it to its historical 'compounder' model and that there is significant untapped value embedded in its portfolio of assets, many of which would command a value well in excess of where Fiserv trades in the public market. While we remain supportive of Fiserv's turnaround plan, management turnover and continued missteps have widened Fiserv's discount to its intrinsic value. We believe divestitures would significantly reduce that discount while at the same time help restore credibility with investors. Given Fiserv's large and diverse collection of assets, we are convinced that a comprehensive review, rather than a piecemeal, asset-by-asset approach, is the best way to unlock value.

Additionally, while we have been supportive of recent Board changes at Fiserv, they have unfortunately proven insufficient to remediate the Company's governance issues. Recent failures in executive talent retention and attraction, including allowing senior executives to tie their own employment agreements to the continued service of the CEO, have further damaged the Board's standing with investors. As such, we believe the Company requires further Board change.

We appreciate our constructive dialogue and look forward to the Board's prompt response.

Sincerely,

Scott Ostfeld

Managing Partner & Portfolio Manager
