Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
As previously announced on May 21, 2026, Conduent Incorporated ("Conduent"), by and through its wholly owned subsidiary, Conduent Business Services, LLC (“CBS” and together with Conduent, the "Company"), entered into an Equity Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Modaxo USA Holdings, Inc. (“US Buyer”) and Modaxo France Holdings SAS (“French Buyer” and together with US Buyer, “Buyer”), and Modaxo Group Inc. Under the Purchase Agreement, CBS agreed to sell all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Conduent Transport Solutions, Inc. and certain non‑U.S. subsidiaries that comprise the Company’s public transit and fare collection business on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein for $164 million (the “Transit Sale”).
On September 30, 2026, CBS, Buyer and Modaxo Group, Inc. entered into the First Amendment to Equity Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Amendment”) to amend the Purchase Agreement to, among other things, (1) remove US Buyer as a party to the Purchase Agreement such that French Buyer is the sole Buyer under the Purchase Agreement, (2) provide for certain assets located in India and owned by Conduent Business Services India LLP to be sold to a subsidiary of French Buyer at a subsequent closing, subject to receipt of required regulatory approval in India, and (3) waive certain closing conditions related to certain governmental filings. All other material terms of the Purchase Agreement, which was previously filed by Conduent as Exhibit 2.3 to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q dated August 10, 2026, remain the same. The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Report”) and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
The information set forth in Item 1.01 of this Report is incorporated by reference herein.
On October 1, 2026, the Transit Sale was completed and the Company received $140 million from the Buyer in the form of cash consideration. At closing the Buyer retained (i) a $10 million purchase price holdback for a maximum of one year to secure net tangible asset related adjustments, (ii) a $12 million special holdback, the release of which is dependent upon certain target completion dates for a former customer and (iii) certain other closing adjustments of $2 million. In the fourth quarter of 2026, the Company will pay transaction costs of $3 million and income taxes of $7 million. In addition, $15 million in cash was transferred to the Buyer at close. Conduent intends to use the net proceeds received from the Transit Sale of $125 million for the repayment of the revolving credit facility based on the terms of the credit agreement.
Other than in respect of the Purchase Agreement, the Amendment and the transition services arrangements entered into in connection with the Transit Sale, there is no material relationship between the Company and French Buyer.

- 9 - failure of the India Delayed Closing to have occurred on or prior to the Non-US Outside Date, as it may be extended (including by resulting in a failure of any conditions to the India Delayed Closing to be satisfied); or 8. Amendment to Schedule 3.12(b).

Accordingly: (a) The Parties irrevocably waive the condition set forth in Section 8.01(a) of the Purchase Agreement solely to the extent it relates to each of the Australian FIRB Waived Filing and the French Antitrust Waived Filing. Such condition remains in full force and effect with respect to all other consents and approvals set forth on Schedule 8.01(a). This waiver is effective upon execution of this Amendment and is not conditioned upon the occurrence of the Closing. (b) Nothing in this Section 9 limits or waives Section 5.03, Section 8.01(b) or Section 8.04 of the Purchase Agreement, any representation or warranty of Seller in the Purchase Agreement, any right or remedy of Buyer or Seller under Article X, or any other right or remedy of the parties under the Purchase Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, Buyer’s and Seller’s obligations under Section 5.03 of the Purchase Agreement remain in full force and effect other than with respect to the Australian FIRB Waived Filing and the French Antitrust Waived Filing, including Buyer’s obligation to make any filing with any Governmental Authority that later becomes necessary and to notify Seller of any communication with any Governmental Authority relating to the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement. (c) In accordance with Section 11.02 of the Purchase Agreement, this waiver is limited to the matter set forth in Section 9(a) of this Amendment and does not extend to any other condition, covenant or obligation. 10.

Conduent Completes Sale of Its Public Transit Business to Modaxo
$164 million transaction advances Conduent’s strategy to simplify its portfolio and sharpen its focus
FLORHAM PARK, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 1, 2026-- Conduent Incorporated (Nasdaq: CNDT), a global technology-driven business solutions and services provider, today announced that it has completed the sale of its Public Transit Business to Modaxo, a global technology organization focused on moving the world’s people. The transaction has a base purchase price of $164 million, subject to customary adjustments. Conduent announced the agreement on May 21, 2026.
“This divestiture is an important step in our strategy to simplify our portfolio, sharpen our focus on our core businesses and strengthen our financial foundation,” said Harsha V. Agadi, Conduent President and Chief Executive Officer. “With the completion of this transaction, and our planned exit from the Transportation segment upon the anticipated closing of the Tolling transaction, we are creating a more focused portfolio positioned to deliver sustainable, long-term value for our shareholders, clients and employees.”
The Public Transit Business includes Conduent’s Transit Fare Management and Fleet Management Solutions businesses, with operations across North America, Europe, Australia, the Middle East and Latin America.
The completed sale follows Conduent’s June announcement that it has agreed to sell its Tolling business to Quarterhill Inc. (TSX: QTRH) (OTCQX: QTRHF), a leading global provider of intelligent transportation system solutions. The transaction is expected to close before the end of 2026. Upon completion of the Tolling transaction, Conduent will have exited its Transportation segment and will operate across its Commercial and Government segments.
“We wish our employees in the Public Transit Business all the best as they begin this next chapter with Modaxo, and we thank them for their contributions and dedication to Conduent,” Agadi added.

Introduction
As previously announced on May 21, 2026, Conduent Incorporated ("Conduent"), by and through its wholly owned subsidiary, Conduent Business Services, LLC (“CBS” and together with Conduent, the "Company"), entered into an Equity Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Modaxo USA Holdings, Inc. (“US Buyer”) and Modaxo France Holdings SAS (“French Buyer” and together with US Buyer, “Buyer”), and Modaxo Group Inc. Under the Purchase Agreement, CBS agreed to sell all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Conduent Transport Solutions, Inc. and certain non‑U.S. subsidiaries that comprise the Company’s public transit and fare collection business (the “Business”) on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein for $164 million (the “Transit Sale”).
On September 30, 2026, CBS, Buyer and Modaxo Group, Inc. entered into the First Amendment to Equity Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Amendment”) to amend the Purchase Agreement to, among other things, (1) remove US Buyer as a party to the Purchase Agreement such that French Buyer is the sole Buyer under the Purchase Agreement, (2) provide for certain assets located in India and owned by Conduent Business Services India LLP to be sold to a subsidiary of French Buyer at a subsequent closing, subject to receipt of required regulatory approval in India, and (3) waive certain closing conditions related to certain governmental filings. All other material terms of the Purchase Agreement, which was previously filed by Conduent as Exhibit 2.3 to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q dated August 10, 2026, remain the same. The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Amendment.
On October 1, 2026, the Transit Sale was completed and the Company received $140 million from the Buyer in the form of cash consideration. At closing the Buyer retained (i) a $10 million purchase price holdback for a maximum of one year to secure net tangible asset related adjustments, (ii) a $12 million special holdback, the release of which is dependent upon certain target completion dates for a former customer and (iii) other closing adjustments of $2 million. In the fourth quarter of 2026, the Company will pay transaction costs of $3 million and income taxes of $7 million. In addition, $15 million in cash was transferred to the Buyer at close. Conduent intends to use the net proceeds received from the Transit Sale of $125 million for the repayment of the revolving credit facility based on the terms of the credit agreement.
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information of the Company was derived from the historical condensed consolidated financial statements. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet gives effect to the Transit Sale as if it occurred on June 30, 2026. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of income (loss) for the six months ended June 30, 2026, gives effect to the Transit Sale as if it occurred on January 1, 2026. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, give effect to the Transit Sale as if it occurred on January 1, 2023. The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the Company’s historical financial statements and accompanying notes for the six months ended June 30, 2026, and years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, which were included in the Company’s Form 10-Q filed on August 10, 2026, and Form 10-K filed on February 19, 2026, respectively.
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information is based on information currently available and assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable. Such information is provided for illustrative and informational purposes only and is not intended to reflect what the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations would have been had the Transit Sale occurred on the dates indicated above and is not necessarily indicative of the Company’s future consolidated financial position and results of operations.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Basis of Presentation
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements give effect to the pro forma transaction accounting adjustments necessary to reflect the Transit Sale as if it had occurred as of January 1, 2026, in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of income (loss) for the six months ended June 30, 2026, and on June 30, 2026 in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet. The pro forma adjustments also reflect the Transit Sale as if it had occurred as of January 1, 2023 in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of income (loss) for each of the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.
2. Pro Forma Adjustments
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the following adjustments:
(a) Adjustment reflects components of the Transit Sale to calculate the pro forma cash adjustment, as follows:
| (in millions) | |||||
| Purchase price per Purchase Agreement | $ | 164 | |||
| Less: Purchase price holdback | 10 | ||||
| Less: Special holdback | 12 | ||||
| Less: Other closing adjustments | 2 | ||||
| Total cash proceeds at closing | 140 | ||||
| Less: Net cash proceeds used to pay down revolving credit facility | 125 | ||||
| Pro forma cash adjustment | $ | 15 | |||
(b) Adjustments reflect the disposition of net assets and liabilities of the Business as of June 30, 2026, and the elimination of revenue, costs of services, selling, general and administrative, and other operating expenses of the Business.
(c) Adjustment reflects after-tax gain of $11 million calculated as follows: $164 million representing the purchase price less (i) the net assets of the disposed Business of $115 million, including cash of $15 million, (ii) estimated direct transaction costs of $3 million, (iii) cumulative translation adjustment of $23 million, (iv) discount on the special holdback of $3 million, (v) other closing adjustments of $2 million and (vi) estimated income tax provision of $7 million. The balance sheet effects of the adjustment for transaction costs and income taxes are included in other current liabilities.
(d) Adjustment reflects TSA fees included in cost of services and selling, general and administrative expenses of $3 million and $0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, and $6 million and $1 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, respectively. The TSA terms range from 6 to 12 months depending on the service. When the TSA terminates, we expect to eliminate the related costs. The balance sheet effects of the TSA are reflected in Other current assets.
(e) Adjustments reflect the estimated reduction to interest expense related to the intended use of the estimated net proceeds from the Transit Sale for repayment of $125 million of the Company’s revolving credit facility as if such debt was repaid on January 1, 2026 for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and January 1 for the year ended December 31, 2025. For purposes of the pro forma interest expense adjustment, the weighted average interest rate of the revolving credit

facility was used to calculate the adjustment. The balance sheet effects of the adjustment are included in other current liabilities.
(f) Adjustment represents the estimated income tax effects related to the pro forma adjustments tax effected at the applicable US effective rate, net of valuation allowances.
