Item 5.03.

Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

As reported below in Item 5.07, at the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of Fair Isaac Corporation (the “Company”) on March 4, 2026, the stockholders of the Company approved (i) an amendment to the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation to allow for exculpation of officers as permitted by Delaware law, and (ii) an amendment to the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation to eliminate the supermajority voting requirement that requires at least 66-2/3% of the voting power of the Company’s outstanding shares to amend or repeal Article 6 thereof (collectively, the “Charter Amendments”).

A description of the Charter Amendments was set forth in the Company’s definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 27, 2026. The Charter Amendments became effective upon the filing of a Certificate of Amendment (the “Certificate of Amendment”) to the Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on March 4, 2026. Subsequently, the Company filed a Restated Certificate of Incorporation, solely to reflect the Charter Amendments, with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on March 4, 2026.

The above description of the Charter Amendments is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of each of the Certificate of Amendment and the Restated Certificate of Incorporation as amended by the Charter Amendments, copies of which are filed as Exhibit 3.1 and Exhibit 3.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.
