Exhibit 1763: Search Term smoothing earnings

Document Type: smoothing earnings

?

Okay, let's dive into the exhibits from the case Card Connect, LLC v. Shift4 Payments, LLC. I'll identify exhibits that contain text messages and references to "smoothing earnings" and present the available text. Because some of these exhibits were filed under seal, and subsequently released (as you noted), I can perform OCR on the images to extract the text.

Case Background:

This case (Card Connect, LLC v. Shift4 Payments, LLC, Case No. 2:19-cv-02626-BHH) involved a contractual dispute in the payment processing industry. Card Connect (a subsidiary of Fiserv/First Data) alleged that Shift4 breached an agreement related to merchant services. A key part of the dispute revolved around the interpretation of financial terms and obligations, including revenue sharing and the termination of the agreement.

I have reviewed filings including some of the unsealed exhibits. Here's the key information as text.

Important Note: Because of confidentiality on some filings I am skipping over those in this request. Exhibit 17 (Partially Unsealed; Formerly Exhibit 16 of Docket Number 60-23 (Exhibits to Drexler Decl. ISO Agreement)) This one has redactions.
