On December 11
, 2020, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of The Western Union Company (the "Company") amended and restated the Company's By-laws (the "By-laws"), effective on that date, to align the Company's proxy access By-laws with current customary practice regarding proxy access bylaws.

Limit to twenty (20) the number of stockholders that may aggregate their ownership of common stock for purposes of meeting the three percent (3%) ownership threshold required to nominate a person for election to the Board in the Company's proxy statement.
●
Require a stockholder or stockholder group ("Nominating Stockholder") seeking to nominate a person for election to the Board ("Stockholder Nominee") to make certain additional representations and agreements in connection with the nomination.
●
Provide that a Stockholder Nominee may be excluded from the Company's proxy statement if the Nominating Stockholder breaches the agreements and representations of the By-laws.
●
Revise the number of Stockholder Nominees that may be included in the Company's proxy statement from 20% of the number of directors on the Board to the greater of (i) two or (ii) 20% of the number of directors on the Board.
●
Increase the number of words from 250 to 500 that a Nominating Stockholder may include in its statement in support of its Stockholder Nominee in the Company's proxy statement.
●
Make certain other clarifying and conforming changes.
​
