NOTICE-AND-ACCESS
This year, the Company is adopting the U.S. practice of 'notice-and-access' to deliver its proxy materials to its shareholders. Instead of mailing a traditional full set of proxy materials, notice-and-access gives us the option to mail a notice of internet availability of proxy materials (the "Notice of Internet Availability") to shareholders, directing them to a website to access electronic copies of the proxy materials. As a shareholder, you also have the option to request certain proxy materials after receiving the Notice of Internet Availability. The Company anticipates that use of the notice-and-access will benefit the Company by reducing the postage and material costs associated with the printing and mailing of the proxy-related materials and will also reduce the environmental impact of such actions.
AMDOCS LIMITED
PROXY STATEMENT
ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON FRIDAY, JANUARY 30, 2026
References in this Proxy Statement to "Amdocs," "we," "our" and "us" refer to Amdocs Limited and its consolidated subsidiaries and their respective predecessors.
This Proxy Statement and the accompanying proxy are being furnished to shareholders of Amdocs Limited, a company organized under the laws of Guernsey, in connection with the solicitation by its Board of Directors of proxies from holders of its outstanding ordinary shares, par value £0.01 per share, for use at the annual general meeting of shareholders to be held at 11:00 a.m., local time, on Friday, January 30, 2026, at the Amdocs offices at 185 Hudson Street, floor no. 27, Suite 2700, Jersey City, NJ 07311, or at any adjournments thereof (the "General Meeting").
This Proxy Statement and the accompanying proxy are first being mailed or delivered to our shareholders on or about December 16, 2025.
At the General Meeting, the holders of our ordinary shares as of the close of business on December 2, 2025 (the "Record Date") will be asked to take the following actions:
1. Elect 10 directors to serve until the next annual general meeting of shareholders or until their earlier resignation or removal or successors are elected and qualified (Proposal I);
2. Approve an amendment to the Amdocs Limited 2023 Employee Share Purchase Plan to increase the number of ordinary shares reserved for issuance thereunder by 2,200,000 shares (Proposal II);
3. Approve an increase in the dividend rate under our quarterly cash dividend program from $0.527 per share to $0.569 per share (Proposal III);
4. Approve our Consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025 (Proposal IV); and
5. Ratify and approve the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026, and until the next annual general meeting, and authorize the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors to fix the remuneration of such independent registered public accounting firm in accordance with the nature and extent of its services (Proposal V).
The proxy confers discretionary authority with respect to any amendments or modifications of proposals that properly may be brought before the General Meeting. As of the date hereof, we are not aware of any such amendments or modifications or other matters to be presented for action at the General Meeting. However, if any other matters properly come before the General Meeting, the proxies solicited hereby will be exercised on such matters in accordance with the reasonable judgment of the proxy holders.
As of the Record Date, Amdocs had outstanding 107,949,539 ordinary shares (net of treasury shares). Each ordinary share is entitled to one vote on all matters presented at the General Meeting. Only holders of record of ordinary shares at the close of business on the Record Date are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the General Meeting. Votes cast in person or by proxy at the General Meeting will be tabulated by the inspector of elections appointed for the General Meeting who will also determine whether a quorum is present for the transaction of business. Two or more shareholders of record, together holding a majority of our outstanding ordinary shares present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for purposes of the General Meeting.
Approval of Proposals I, II, III, IV and V requires the affirmative vote of a majority of our ordinary shares voted in person or by proxy at the General Meeting.
1
The enclosed proxy provides that each shareholder may specify that his, her or its ordinary shares be voted "for," "against" or "abstain" from voting for each of the director nominees named in Proposal I and with respect to each of Proposals II, III, IV and V. If proxies in the accompanying form are properly executed and returned, the ordinary shares represented thereby will be voted in the manner specified therein. If not otherwise specified, in the reasonable discretion of the proxy holders, the ordinary shares represented by a proxy will be voted FOR each of the proposals.
Proxies will not be counted as voting in respect of any matter as to which abstention is indicated, but abstentions will be counted as ordinary shares that are present for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the General Meeting. Nominees who are members of the New York Stock Exchange, or the NYSE, and who, as brokers, hold ordinary shares in "street name" for customers have, by NYSE rules, the authority to vote on certain items in the absence of instructions from their customers, the beneficial owners of the ordinary shares. If such nominees or brokers indicate that they do not have authority to vote shares as to a particular matter (the "Broker Non-Votes"), we will not count those votes in favor of such matter. Broker Non-Votes will be counted as ordinary shares that are present for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present.
Shareholders of record are entitled to appoint one or more proxies to attend and vote at the General Meeting in their stead. If a shareholder of record elects to appoint a proxy other than by using the enclosed proxy card (or by internet or telephone as provided in the instructions set forth in the enclosed proxy card), the shareholder must deliver such proxy, together with a power of attorney or other authority, at or before the General Meeting on January 30, 2026. We strongly encourage our shareholders to use the enclosed proxy card or to authorize the voting of their shares over the internet or by telephone as provided in the instructions set forth in the enclosed proxy card.
Any shareholder giving a proxy may revoke it at any time before it is exercised at the General Meeting by:

PROPOSAL I
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
Ten (10) directors currently serve on our Board of Directors. As set forth below, the Board of Directors has nominated ten (10) individuals as nominees for election as directors at the General Meeting, all of whom are incumbent directors. All directors hold office until the next annual meeting of our shareholders, which generally is in January or February of each calendar year, or until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified or their positions are earlier vacated by resignation or otherwise.
Due to the global and versatile nature of the Company's business, the Board of Directors believes it is important to consider diversity of race, ethnicity, gender, age, education, cultural background and professional experiences in evaluating board candidates in order to provide practical insights and diverse perspectives. In addition, the Board of Directors has established a mandatory retirement age of 73 for directors. No person of or over the age of 73 years shall be nominated or elected to start a new term as director, unless the Chairman of the Board of Directors recommends to the Board of Directors, and the Board of Directors determines, to waive the retirement age for a specific director in exceptional circumstances. Once the waiver is granted, it must be reconsidered annually for it to stay in effect. In November 2025, Mr. de la Vega and Mr. Minicucci were granted one-year waivers to continue as directors past the age of 73 years and until the annual general meeting of shareholders in 2027 in light of the circumstances presented to the Board of Directors, including their exceptional industry experience and value to the Board, as well as the current global business and market environment.
Ordinary shares represented by proxies returned duly executed will be voted, unless otherwise specified, in favor of the ten (10) nominees for the Board of Directors named below. If any or all of such persons should be unable to serve, the persons named in the enclosed proxy will vote the shares covered thereby for such substitute nominee or nominees as the Board of Directors may select. The Board of Directors has no reason to believe that any such nominee will be unable or unwilling to serve.
Set forth below are the names and ages of the nominees for director, the principal occupations of each nominee currently and for at least the past five years, and the year in which he or she became a director of Amdocs.

Board Committees
Our Board of Directors maintains four committees as set forth below. Members of each committee are appointed by the Board of Directors.
Audit Committee. The Audit Committee reviews, acts on and reports to the Board of Directors with respect to various auditing and accounting matters, including the selection of our independent registered public accounting firm, the scope of the annual audits, fees to be paid to, and the performance of, such public accounting firm, and assists with the Board of Directors' oversight of our accounting practices, financial statement integrity and compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, including establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, risk assessment and risk management. Subject to their election, the Board of Directors has appointed Mr. Gardner (Chair), Mr. Minicucci and Ms. Davis to serve as members of the Audit Committee, all of whom are independent directors (including under the heightened independence requirements for members of the Audit Committee), as defined by the rules of Nasdaq, and pursuant to the categorical director independence standards adopted by our Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has determined that each of Mr. Gardner and Ms. Davis is an "audit committee financial expert" as defined by rules promulgated by the SEC, and that each member of the Audit Committee is financially literate as required by the rules of Nasdaq. In particular, we believe that the professional experiences of Mr. Gardner, Mr. Minicucci and Ms. Davis provide important insights into their work on the Audit Committee. For example, we believe Mr. Gardner's extensive experience as an accountant, technology investment banker and chief financial officer enables him to make valuable contributions to the Committee. In addition, we believe that Mr. Minicucci's experience as chief financial officer to a public company and treasurer of another public company have provided him with strong business acumen and strategic and financial expertise that benefits the Committee. We also believe Ms. Davis's extensive executive experience with Loblaw and her myriad roles in finance and accounting, along with her experience as a director of other public companies, position her to make valuable contributions to the Committee.

The Management Resources and Compensation Committee written charter is available on our website at www.amdocs.com.
Technology and Innovation Committee. The Technology and Innovation Committee was established to assist the Board of Directors in reviewing our technological development, opportunities and innovation, in connection with the current and future business and markets. Subject to their election, the Board of Directors has appointed Mr. MacDonald (Chair), Mr. Gelman, Mr. Genish and Ms. Kanouff to serve as members of the Technology and Innovation Committee.
Our non-employee directors ("Non-Employee Directors") receive no compensation from us, except in connection with their membership on the Board of Directors and its committees as described below regarding Non-Employee Directors under the heading "Compensation of Directors."
Board and Committee Meetings
During the past fiscal year 2025, the Board of Directors held eight meetings. In addition, the Audit Committee held six meetings, the Management Resources and Compensation Committee held four meetings, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee held five meetings and the Technology and Innovation Committee held four meetings in the 2025 fiscal year. During fiscal year 2025, all of the directors that are nominees for re-election to the Board of Directors attended at least 75% of the aggregate of the number of Board of Directors meetings held during the time he or she was serving as a director and meetings held by all committees on which he or she then served. During fiscal year 2025, our Non-Employee Directors held four meetings without management present. Executive sessions of the Non-Employee Directors are generally held in conjunction with regularly scheduled meetings of the Board of Directors. At other times, such meetings may be held at the request of any Non-Employee Director. The presiding director of each such executive session is elected by the Non-Employee Directors who attend such executive session. Shareholders and other interested parties may communicate directly with the presiding directors or with the independent directors as a group as described below under the heading "Communicating with the Independent Directors.
Communicating with the Independent Directors
The Board of Directors will give appropriate attention to written communications that are submitted by shareholders and other interested parties, and will respond if and as appropriate. The Chairman of the Board, with the assistance of our corporate secretary, is primarily responsible for monitoring communications from shareholders and other interested parties and for providing copies or summaries to the directors as he considers appropriate.
9
Communications are forwarded to all directors if they relate to important substantive matters and include suggestions or comments that our Chairman and corporate secretary consider to be important for the directors to know. In general, communications relating to corporate governance and long-term corporate strategy are more likely to be forwarded than communications relating to ordinary business affairs, personal grievances and matters as to which we tend to receive repetitive or duplicative communications.
Shareholders who wish to send communications on any topic to the Board of Directors or to our independent or presiding directors should address such communications c/o Corporate Secretary, Amdocs Inc., 625 Maryville Centre Drive, Suite 200, Saint Louis, Missouri 63141.
Significant Corporate Governance Differences
We believe there are no significant ways that our corporate governance practices differ from those followed by U.S. domestic issuers under the Nasdaq listing standards.
Director Qualification Standards
Our Board of Directors has adopted a formal set of categorical independence standards with respect to the determination of director independence. In accordance with these standards and Nasdaq rules, a director currently employed by us, or employed by us within the last three years, cannot be deemed to be an independent director and, consequently, Mr. Sheffer is not an independent director. Our Board of Directors has determined that each of the following nominees for director has no material relationship with us that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director and is independent under such standards and rules: Messrs. Gelman, Minicucci, Gardner, de la Vega, MacDonald and Genish, Mmes. Morali, Kanouff and Davis.
The full text of our categorical standards is attached to this Proxy Statement as Appendix A.
Code of Ethics and Business Conduct
Our Board of Directors has adopted a Code of Ethics and Business Conduct that sets forth legal and ethical standards of conduct for our directors and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and other executive officers, our subsidiaries and other business entities controlled by us worldwide. The code is available on our website at www.amdocs.com and you may request a copy of our code of ethics, at no cost, by writing to or telephoning us at the address or telephone number listed below under the heading "Annual Report on Form 20-F." We intend to post on our website within five business days all disclosures that are required by law or Nasdaq rules concerning any amendments to, or waivers from, any provision of the code.
Risk Management Oversight
Our management is responsible for assessing and managing risk, and periodically reviews areas of material risk within our organization in order to evaluate and enhance risk identification and mitigation strategies. Our Board of Directors oversees and reviews these risk management efforts as they relate to strategic and business risks. Our audit committee oversees and reviews the Company's policies and processes with respect to enterprise risk management, discusses these efforts as they relate to operational and financial risks, and periodically reports and makes recommendations to our Board of Directors regarding these matters.
Compensation Policies and Practices
We structure our compensation to consist of both fixed and variable elements, including salary, equity, cash bonuses and insurance benefits.
The fixed portions of compensation, such as salary, are designed to be market based and provide steady income regardless of our stock price performance. The variable portions of compensation, such as equity incentives and performance bonuses, are designed to reward the accomplishment of both short- and long-term corporate objectives. By basing a portion of our compensation on our long-term performance, we believe we reduce the risk that employees will focus on short-term goals to the detriment of our long-term stability. Further, our short-term incentive compensation is designed to reward short-term goals that we believe will enhance our long-term corporate success. Additionally, although we vary the elements of compensation that we use at different employee positions and rank, our compensation philosophy is applicable to all employees, including our executives. We believe this
10
encourages consistent behavior across our organization, rather than establishing different approaches depending on an employee's position or rank. We do not believe our compensation policies and practices encourage excessive or inappropriate risk taking.
The following table summarizes our compensation philosophy for our directors and executive management - "What we do?" and "What we don't do?":

Compensation of Directors
Our Board of Directors has decided to not raise director compensation for fiscal year 2026. As such, continuing into fiscal year 2026, each of our Non-Employee Directors receives an annual cash payment of $80,000. Each member of our Audit Committee who is a Non-Employee Director and who is not the chairman of such committee receives an annual cash payment of $30,000. Each member of our Management Resources and Compensation Committee who is a Non-Employee Director and who is not a committee chairman receives an annual cash payment of $20,000. Each member of our Nominating and Corporate Governance and Technology and Innovation Committees who is a Non-Employee Director and who is not a committee chairman receives an annual cash payment of $15,000. The Chairman of our Audit Committee receives an annual cash payment of $42,500 and the Chairman of our Management Resources and Compensation Committee receives an annual cash payment of $32,500. The Chairmen of our Nominating and Corporate Governance and Technology and Innovation Committees each receive an annual cash payment of $27,500. Each Non-Employee Director receives an annual grant of ordinary shares at a total value of $255,000. The Chairman of the Board of Directors receives an additional annual amount equal to $200,000 awarded in the form of ordinary shares. All ordinary share awards to our Non-Employee Directors vest in four equal installments of 25% each on the first day of the month following the end of each fiscal quarter, if and only if the Non-Employee Director is still serving as a Non-Employee Director on such day. The price per share for the purpose of determining the value of the grants to our Non-Employee Directors is the Nasdaq closing price of our shares on the last trading day preceding the grant date.
11
We enforce stock ownership guidelines that capture the Board of Directors and executive management population, requiring each to comply with benchmark equity holdings at all times (to be achieved over 5 years). The policy includes the following holding guidelines:
We also reimburse all of our Non-Employee Directors for their reasonable travel expenses incurred in connection with attending Board or committee meetings and for other reasonable expenses incurred while executing their responsibilities as directors. Cash and equity compensation paid to our Non-Employee Directors may be prorated for partial-year service.
During the 2025 fiscal year, we granted to the 9 Non-Employee Directors that served in at least part of the 2025 fiscal year an aggregate of 27,795 shares at a weighted average price of $84.33 per share, which vested quarterly.

Audit Committee Matters
Our management is responsible for the preparation of our financial statements and for maintaining an adequate system of disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting for that purpose. Our independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for conducting an independent audit of our annual financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, as well as an independent audit of management's assessment of our internal control over financial reporting, and issuing reports on the results of their audits. The Audit Committee is responsible for providing independent, objective oversight of these processes.
The Audit Committee has reviewed our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025 and has discussed these financial statements with our management and independent registered public accounting firm.
The Audit Committee has also discussed with our independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) Auditing Standard No. 16 (Communications with Audit Committees) (AS 16), which requires our independent registered public accounting firm to discuss with our Audit Committee, among other things, the following:
Our independent registered public accounting firm also provided the Audit Committee with the written disclosures and the letter required by PCAOB Rule 3526 (Rule 3526), Communication with Audit Committees Concerning Independence. PCAOB Rule 3562 requires auditors annually to disclose in writing all relationships that in the auditor's professional opinion may reasonably be thought to bear on independence, confirm their perceived independence and engage in a discussion of independence. The Audit Committee has discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm its independence from us.
Based on its discussions with management and the independent registered public accounting firm, and its review of the representations and information provided by management and the independent registered public accounting firm, the Audit Committee recommended to our Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025.
Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures
The Audit Committee has adopted policies and procedures relating to the approval of all audit and non-audit services that are to be performed by our independent registered public accounting firm. These policies generally provide that we will not engage our independent registered public accounting firm to render audit or non-audit services unless the service is specifically approved in advance by the Audit Committee or the engagement is entered into pursuant to the pre-approval procedure described below.
From time to time, the Audit Committee may pre-approve specified types of services that are expected to be provided to us by our independent registered public accounting firm during the next 12 months. Any such pre-approval is detailed as to the particular service or type of services to be provided and is also generally subject to a maximum dollar amount. In fiscal year 2025, our Audit Committee approved all of the services provided by Ernst & Young.

PROPOSAL II
AMENDMENT TO THE 2023 EMPLOYEE SHARE PURCHASE PLAN
On November 11, 2025, our Board of Directors approved, subject to approval by our shareholders, an amendment to the Amdocs Limited 2023 Employee Share Purchase Plan, or the ESPP, to increase the maximum number of ordinary shares reserved and available for issuance under the ESPP by 2,200,000 ordinary shares. There are no other proposed amendments or changes to the ESPP.
The ESPP was originally adopted by our shareholders at our annual meeting of shareholders held on January 27, 2023 and became effective upon the filing of a Form S-8 Registration Statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on February 13, 2023. The ESPP is designed to provide eligible employees of Amdocs and its participating subsidiaries with the opportunity to purchase our ordinary shares at a discount to fair market value using their accumulated payroll deductions during specified purchase periods.
The maximum number of our ordinary shares that currently may be issued under the ESPP cannot exceed in the aggregate 2,400,000 ordinary shares, which, at the time of adoption, represented approximately 2% of our ordinary shares outstanding. As of December 2, 2025, we had issued 1,027,436 ordinary shares under the ESPP and 1,372,564 ordinary shares remained available for issuance. Based on 107,949,539 of our ordinary shares outstanding as of December 2, 2025, the 2,200,000 ordinary shares requested under this amendment represented approximately 2% of our total ordinary shares outstanding. The Board of Directors believes that this share reserve represents an appropriate amount of potential equity dilution in light of the purposes of the ESPP, which are further described below.
The following table summarizes information, as of December 2, 2025, regarding our equity compensation plans. The table does not include the additional shares that may be issuable pursuant to the ESPP that are the subject of this Proposal II.

Approval of the amendment to the ESPP is critical to maintaining our ability to provide employees the opportunity to purchase our ordinary shares at a discount and to incentivize them to become stakeholders in the Company, aligning their interests with the Company's and our shareholder's long-term success. The 2,200,000 ordinary shares requested are expected to sustain the ESPP for at least the next 3-4 years based on historical practice. If our shareholders fail to approve the amendment to the ESPP, we will not be able to offer any ordinary
15
shares for purchase by employees through the ESPP once we have issued all of the remaining ordinary shares available for issuance under the current ESPP. The Board of Directors believes that the amendment of the ESPP is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.
Description of the 2023 Employee Share Purchase Plan (as proposed to be amended)
The following is a summary of the ESPP (as proposed to be amended), a copy of which is attached as Appendix B. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the ESPP.
Purpose. The purpose of the ESPP is to provide eligible employees of Amdocs and each participating subsidiary with opportunities to acquire a proprietary interest in Amdocs through the purchase of our ordinary shares.
Ordinary Shares. The maximum number of our ordinary shares that are reserved and available for issuance under the ESPP shall not exceed in the aggregate 4,600,000 ordinary shares (including the 2,200,000 ordinary shares subject to the proposed amendment, and subject to adjustment as described below). If any purchase of ordinary shares under the ESPP is not completed, the ordinary shares not purchased will again become available for issuance under the ESPP.
General. The ESPP shall consist of a "423 Component", which is intended to qualify as an "employee stock purchase plan" under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and a "non-423 Component", which shall not qualify as an "employee stock purchase plan" and shall be maintained for participants outside the United States.
Administration. The ESPP shall be administered by the Management Resources and Compensation Committee (the "MRCC"), which was appointed by the Board of Directors to administer the ESPP. The MRCC has the authority to administer the ESPP and to exercise all powers and authorities necessary or advisable in the administration of the ESPP. The MRCC may delegate to one or more of its members or to one or more agents such administrative duties as it may deem advisable, including the adoption of special rules or sub-plans applicable to employees of a particular participating subsidiary. All interpretations and decisions of the MRCC shall be binding on all persons, including Amdocs and all participants in the ESPP.
Eligibility. Unless otherwise determined by the MRCC, all individuals classified as employees on our payroll records and who are customarily employed for more than five months in any calendar year are eligible to participate in the ESPP.
Purchase Periods. The ESPP shall be implemented through a series of purchase periods, each of which shall have a duration of six months, unless determined otherwise by the MRCC, with the MRCC (or its delegate) establishing the dates on which purchase periods shall commence.
Employee Contributions. Each eligible employee may participate in an offering under the ESPP by submitting an enrollment form prior to the commencement of a purchase period stating the employee's percentage of eligible compensation to be deducted from payroll during the purchase period. An eligible employee may authorize payroll deductions at a minimum of 1% and up to a maximum of 10% of his or her eligible compensation for each pay period. Participants may not increase or decrease their payroll deduction percentages during a purchase period, unless determined otherwise by the MRCC (or its delegate).
Grant of Options. On the first trading day of each purchase period, each participant shall receive an option to purchase, on the last trading day of the purchase period, a number of ordinary shares equal to the lower of (a) such number determined by dividing the employee's accumulated payroll deductions (without interest) on such date by the applicable purchase price (as described below) and (b) 600 shares (unless a different maximum number of shares is established by the MRCC). Unless otherwise determined by the MRCC, the purchase price for each ordinary share shall equal 85% of the fair market value of the ordinary shares on the first or last trading day of the purchase period, whichever is less. No employee may be granted an option under the ESPP if he or she, immediately after the option was granted, would be treated as owning shares possessing 5% or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of our ordinary shares (or shares of any parent or subsidiary). In addition, no employee may be granted an option under the 423 Component of the ESPP which would permit them to accrue right to purchase
16
ordinary shares in excess of $25,000 of the fair market value of such ordinary shares (as determined on the first trading day of the purchase period) for each calendar year in which such option is outstanding at any time.
Exercise of Options and Purchase of Shares. On the last trading day of a purchase period, each participant shall purchase a number of whole ordinary shares based on his or her accumulated payroll deductions (without interest). Unless otherwise determined by the MRCC (or its delegate), any remaining amount in the participant's account shall be refunded (without interest) as soon as practically possible after the completion of the purchase period.
Withdrawal. An employee may withdraw from the ESPP or a purchase period by delivering a written notice of withdrawal prior to the end of a purchase period. The employee's entire account balance under the ESPP shall be refunded (without interest) as soon as practically possible after his or her withdrawal. No partial withdrawals are allowed.
Termination of Employment. If a participant's employment is terminated for any reason before the last trading day of a purchase period, the entire balance in his or her account shall be refunded (without interest) as soon as practically possible following his or her termination.
Adjustment. If any change is made to our ordinary shares without the receipt of consideration by Amdocs (such as through merger, consolidation, recapitalization, dividend, or other similar transaction), the ESPP shall be appropriately adjusted in the class(es) and maximum number of ordinary shares subject to the ESPP and the outstanding options shall be appropriate adjusted in the class(es), number of shares, purchase price and share limitations of outstanding options. In addition, in the event of any corporate transaction as described in Section 424 of the Code, the Board of Directors may make such adjustment it deems appropriate to the shares and options subject to the ESPP to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights in the number of class of ordinary shares that may be delivered under the ESPP.
Amendment and Termination. The MRCC may amend the ESPP at any time in its discretion, except that shareholder approval will be required for any amendment to increase the number of ordinary shares available under the ESPP or to make any other change that would require shareholder approval in order for the ESPP to qualify as an "employee stock purchase plan" under Section 423 of the Code. The ESPP may be terminated at any time by our Board of Directors.
Governing Law. The ESPP and all options and actions taken thereunder shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York.
Resolution
It is proposed that the following ordinary resolution be adopted at the General Meeting:
"RESOLVED, that the Amdocs Limited 2023 Employee Share Purchase Plan, as amended, in the form attached to the Company's Proxy Statement as Appendix B, be and hereby is approved.
Required Affirmative Vote
The affirmative vote of holders of a majority of our ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy at the General Meeting is necessary for the approval of the ordinary resolution to approve the amendment to the ESPP. If Proposal II is not approved by the shareholders, the amendment to the ESPP will not become effective and the ESPP will continue in accordance with its existing terms.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT THE SHAREHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" THE APPROVAL OF THE AMENDMENT AND CONTINUATION OF THE ESPP AS SET FORTH IN APPENDIX B ATTACHED HERETO.
17
PROPOSAL III
Shareholder Approval of Increase of the Quarterly Dividend Rate
Background
Article 92 of our Articles of Incorporation provides that our Board of Directors may declare and pay dividends on our ordinary shares, subject to compliance with applicable law.
In 2012, our shareholders approved the institution of a quarterly cash dividend program at the quarterly rate of $0.13 per ordinary share.
Under this authorization, our Board of Directors has the authority to reduce the quarterly dividend or discontinue the dividend program should it determine that doing so is in the best interests of our shareholders or is necessary pursuant to Guernsey law, but our Board of Directors does not have authority to increase the per share amount or frequency of the dividend without shareholder approval. In 2023, our shareholders approved an increase to $0.435 per share; in 2024, our shareholders approved an increase to $0.479; and in 2025 our shareholders approved an increase to $0.527.
In November 2025, our Board of Directors approved an increase in the quarterly cash dividend rate to $0.569 per ordinary share. In order to permit us to implement this dividend rate increase, our Board of Directors proposes that our shareholders approve the ordinary resolution set forth below.
Reasons for the Proposed Increase in Quarterly Dividend Rate
Our Board of Directors believes that it is in the best interest of our shareholders to increase the quarterly dividend rate in light of our financial and business performance and outlook. For example, since we implemented our dividend program in 2012, we have generated increases in annual revenue, net income and free cash flow. At the same time, we have continued to repurchase our ordinary shares, through a subsidiary, and repurchased approximately $489.5 million, $563.1 million and $ 551.3 million (excluding broker and transaction fees) of our ordinary shares during the fiscal years ended September 30, 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively. As a general long-term guideline, we expect to retain a portion of our free cash flow (calculated as cash flow from operations less net capital expenditures and other) to support the growth of our business, including possible mergers and acquisitions. The increase in the quarterly dividend rate coincides with our fiscal year 2026 guideline to return to shareholders a majority of our free cash flow subject to financial performance, outlook and liquidity, the size of possible mergers and acquisitions activity, financial market conditions and prevailing industry condition, through our ongoing share repurchase and dividend program. This is not a complete presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, so we encourage you to review our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025 set forth in our Annual Report on Form 20-F filed on December 15, 2025 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC. Our actual share repurchase activity and payment of future dividends, if any, may vary quarterly or annually and will be based on several factors including our financial performance, outlook and liquidity, the size of possible mergers and acquisitions activity, financial market conditions and prevailing industry conditions.
Timing of the Dividend Program
If our shareholders approve the proposal, our Board of Directors will continue to consider on a quarterly basis whether to declare and pay, if any, a dividend in accordance with the terms of the dividend program and in accordance with applicable Guernsey law and based on several factors including our financial performance, outlook and liquidity. Guernsey law requires that our Board of Directors consider a dividend's effects on our solvency before it may be declared or paid. Provided that the per share amount and the frequency of the dividend do not increase, then no further shareholder approval will be required for dividends payable pursuant to our quarterly cash dividend program. However, any increase to the per share amount or frequency of the dividend would require further shareholder approval.
Subject to shareholder approval, we expect to begin paying the dividend at the increased rate commencing in April 2026.
18
In the event that shareholder approval is not obtained, the quarterly dividend rate will remain at $0.527 per share.
Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations Related to Distributions
The following discussion describes certain U.S. federal income tax consequences of the receipt of cash distributions on our ordinary shares to a U.S. holder. For purposes of this discussion, a U.S. holder is a person that is subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net basis, and that for U.S. federal income tax purposes (i) is a beneficial owner of our ordinary shares, (ii) holds our ordinary shares as capital assets, (iii) is not a partnership and (iv) is not treated as tax resident or otherwise subject to net income tax in any jurisdiction outside the United States. This discussion is general in nature and does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to a U.S. holder in light of its particular circumstances, nor does it address any minimum or Medicare contribution tax consequences.
Except as described below, the following discussion assumes that we are not a passive foreign investment company (a "PFIC") for any taxable year.
In general, a U.S. holder receiving a distribution with respect to the ordinary shares will be required to include such distribution (including the amount of non-U.S. taxes, if any, withheld therefrom) in gross income as a taxable dividend to the extent such distribution is paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Any distributions in excess of such earnings and profits will first be treated, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as a nontaxable return of capital to the extent of the U.S. holder's tax basis in the ordinary shares, and then, to the extent in excess of such tax basis, as gain from the sale or exchange of a capital asset. However, since we do not calculate our earnings and profits under U.S. federal income tax principles, it is expected that any distribution will be reported as a dividend. In general, U.S. corporate shareholders will not be entitled to any deduction for distributions received as dividends on the ordinary shares.
Dividends are taxed as ordinary income. However, a preferential U.S. federal income tax rate applies to "qualified dividend income" received by individuals (as well as certain trusts and estates), provided that certain holding period and other requirements are met. "Qualified dividend income" includes dividends paid on shares of "qualified foreign corporations," including shares of a non-U.S. corporation that are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States. Since our ordinary shares are listed on the Nasdaq, we believe that dividends paid by us with respect to our ordinary shares should constitute "qualified dividend income" for U.S. federal income tax purposes, provided that the applicable holding period and other requirements are satisfied by the relevant shareholder. The preferential rate will not apply to dividends received to the extent that the U.S. holder elects to treat dividends as "investment income." In addition, dividends paid by us will not qualify for the preferential tax rate if we are, for the tax year in which the dividends are paid, or were, for the preceding tax year, a PFIC, as described below. Non-corporate U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the availability of these preferential rates in their particular circumstances.
Dividends paid by us generally will be classified as foreign source "passive category income" or, in certain cases, "general category income" for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes.
We will be a PFIC for any taxable year in which (i) 75% or more of our gross income is "passive" (e.g., dividends, interest, certain royalties and gains from financial investments), or (ii) 50% or more of the average value of our assets including goodwill (generally determined on a quarterly basis) consists of assets that produce, or are held for the production of, passive income.
We believe that we were not a PFIC for our taxable year ended September 30, 2025. Although we do not expect to be a PFIC for the current taxable year, we cannot give assurance in this regard because our PFIC status for the current taxable year will depend on the composition of our income and assets and the average value of our assets for the year, and thus could be determined only after the end of the taxable year. U.S. holders should refer to the section "Taxation of Holders of Ordinary Shares - Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations - Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations" in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for a discussion of the consequences that may apply to the receipt of certain excess distributions if we are a PFIC for any taxable year.
19
Payments to U.S. holders generally will be subject to information reporting requirements with respect to dividends that are paid within the United States or through U.S.-related financial intermediaries, unless the U.S. holder is an "exempt recipient." Such payments may also be subject to backup withholding unless the U.S. holder provides a taxpayer identification number and a duly executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or otherwise establishes an exemption. Backup withholding is not an additional tax and the amount of any backup withholding will be allowed as a credit against a U.S. holder's U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such holder to a refund, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the Internal Revenue Service.
U.S. holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the tax treatment of any distributions received by such holder in respect of ordinary shares.

APPENDIX A
CATEGORICAL STANDARDS
In addition to applying the requirements under the Nasdaq rules, the Board has adopted guidelines to assist it in determining whether a director has a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Under these guidelines, a director will be considered to have such a relationship if during the last three years prior to the independence determination date:
For purposes of the above standards: (i) "COMPANY" includes Amdocs Limited and any parent or subsidiary that would be required under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles to prepare financial statements on a consolidated basis; and (ii) "IMMEDIATE FAMILY MEMBER" includes a person's spouse, parents, children and siblings, whether by blood, marriage or adoption, or anyone residing in such person's home.

APPENDIX B
AMDOCS LIMITED
2023 EMPLOYEE SHARE PURCHASE PLAN
AS AMENDED ON JANUARY 30, 2026
The purpose of the Amdocs Limited 2023 Employee Share Purchase Plan (as amended from time to time, the "Plan") is to provide eligible employees of Amdocs Limited (the "Company") and each Designated Subsidiary (as defined in Section 11) with opportunities to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company through the purchase of Ordinary Shares (as defined in Section 11) of the Company (the "Shares"). The maximum number of Shares reserved and available for issuance under the Plan shall not exceed in the aggregate 4,600,000 Shares, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 17. If any purchase of Shares pursuant to an Option (as defined in Section 8) under the Plan is not consummated, the Shares not purchased will again become available for issuance under the Plan.
The Plan includes two components: (a) one component (the "423 Component") which is intended to constitute an "employee stock purchase plan" within the meaning of Section 423(b) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and shall be interpreted in accordance with that intent, and (b) another component (the "Non-423 Component"), which does not qualify as an "employee stock purchase plan" within the meaning of Section 423(b) of the Code, and under which Options will be granted pursuant to rules, procedures or sub-plans adopted by the Administrator (as defined in Section 1) designed to achieve tax, securities laws or other objectives for eligible employees. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Non-423 Component will operate and be administered in the same manner as the 423 Component.
Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms in the Plan shall have the meaning
ascribed to them in Section 11.
The Administrator may delegate to one or more of its members or to one or more agents such administrative duties as it may deem advisable, and the Administrator or any person to whom it has delegated duties as aforesaid may employ one or more persons to render advice with respect to any responsibility the Administrator or such person may have under the Plan. All interpretations and decisions of the Administrator shall be binding on all persons, including the Company and the Participants. No member of the Board or the committee administering the Plan or any individual exercising administrative authority with respect to the Plan shall be liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Option granted hereunder.
B-1
An eligible employee may participate in an Offering by submitting an enrollment form (which may be in electronic format) to his or her appropriate payroll location no earlier than forty-five (45) days before the Offering Date for the next Purchase Period and no later than seven (7) days before such Offering Date, unless a different deadline is established by the Administrator (or its delegate). The enrollment form shall:
An eligible employee who does not enroll in accordance with these procedures shall be deemed to have waived the right to participate. Each Participant shall be required to file a new enrollment form prior to the commencement of each Purchase Period under the Plan, provided he or she remains eligible, pursuant to the requirements set forth in this Section 4, unless the Administrator (or its delegate) determines that Participant's deductions and purchases shall continue at the same percentage of amount of Compensation for future Purchase Periods absent a new enrollment form (subject to a Participant's withdrawal from the Plan (in accordance with Section 7) or termination of employment (in accordance with Section 21). Notwithstanding the foregoing, participation in the 423 Component of the Plan shall neither be permitted nor be denied contrary to the requirements of the Code.
