Variable Prepaid Forward Contracts

On September 7, 2021, Jared Isaacman ("Mr. Isaacman"), Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Shift4 Payments, Inc. (the "Company"), through a wholly-owned special purpose vehicle (the "SPV"), entered into two variable prepaid forward contracts with an unaffiliated dealer (the "Dealer"), one covering approximately 2.18 million shares of the Company's Class A common stock and the other covering approximately 2.26 million shares of the Company's Class A common stock. The variable prepaid forward contracts are both scheduled to settle on specified dates in June, July, August and September 2024, at which time the actual number of shares of the Company's Class A common stock to be delivered by the SPV will be determined based on the price of the Company's Class A common stock on such dates relative to the forward floor price of approximately $66.42 per share and the forward cap price of approximately $112.09 per share for the contract covering approximately 2.18 million shares of the Company's Class A common stock, and to the forward floor price of $66.4240 per share and the forward cap price of approximately $120.39 per share for the contract covering approximately 2.26 million shares of the Company's Class A common stock, with the aggregate number not to exceed approximately 4.44 million shares, which is the aggregate number of shares of Company's Class B common stock and their associated common units of Shift4 Payments, LLC pledged by the SPV to secure its obligations under the contracts. Subject to certain conditions, the SPV can also elect to settle the variable prepaid forward contracts in cash and thereby retain full ownership of the pledged shares and units.

Mr. Isaacman, through the SPV, entered into the variable prepaid forward contracts in accordance with his family financial plan, to provide current liquidity and continue to make charitable donations while also allowing him to maintain voting and dividend rights in the stock and units, as well as the ability to participate in future stock price appreciation up to the respective forward cap prices, during the term of the contracts and thereafter if the SPV settles the variable prepaid forward contracts in cash. If the SPV were to default on its obligations under the variable prepaid forward contracts and fail to cure such default, the Dealer would have the right to exchange up to approximately 4.44 million common units of Shift4 Payments, LLC pledged by the SPV for up to approximately 4.44 million shares of Company's Class A common stock, and an equivalent number of Class B common stock will be retired.

The aggregate number of shares covered by the variable prepaid forward contracts described above and by the variable prepaid forward contract that Mr. Issacman entered into with a different unaffiliated dealer through a separate wholly-owned special purpose vehicle on March 16, 2021, represent approximately 7.8% of the Company's (on an as-converted basis) and 21.1% of Mr. Isaacman's (on an as-converted basis) total shares of Class A common stock outstanding as of August 2, 2021, respectively. The aggregate pledged Class B common stock under such contracts represents approximately 15.9 % of the Company's and 21.1% of Mr. Isaacman's total voting power (including the outstanding Class C common stock) as of August 2, 2021, respectively.
