[2/19/19, 9:25:28 AM] Jared Isaacman: if you are not first

LAUBER_SHIFT4PAYMENTS_0001469
[2/19/19, 2:23:42 PM] Jared Isaacman: ML and FT do not
know about each other
[2/19/19, 2:23:56 PM] Jared Isaacman: Both think they are
getting played by another party
[2/19/19, 2:24:02 PM] Jared Isaacman: But don't know who
[2/19/19, 2:24:19 PM] Sam: Makes sense.
LAUBER_SHIFT4PAYMENTS_0001470
[2/19/19, 4:49:15 PM] Jared Isaacman: What time you
calling Fintech?
[2/19/19, 4:49:27 PM] Sam: When I get the docs.
[2/19/19, 4:49:35 PM] Sam: Waiting on Mike.
[2/19/19, 4:49:45 PM] Jared Isaacman: Got it
LAUBER_SHIFT4PAYMENTS_0001471
[2/19/19, 5:13:13 PM] Sam: Talking to Mike now.

going to client now
[2/19/19, 5:14:43 PM] Sam: Will call FT with letter in hand.
[2/19/19, 5:18:50 PM] Jared Isaacman: Makes sense.
LAUBER_SHIFT4PAYMENTS_0001472
[2/20/19, 11:22:34 AM] Sam: Did you see my text about
calling them before I have docs?
[2/20/19, 11:22:49 AM] Sam: I think it’s worth me calling
them before I have docs
[2/20/19, 11:23:09 AM] Sam: And say that docs are coming
and we can have real call after they review.
LAUBER_SHIFT4PAYMENTS_0001473
[2/26/19, 7:55:37 AM] Jared Isaacman: Did he say how
many days they need to deliver to me?
[2/26/19, 7:55:49 AM] Sam: No
[2/26/19, 7:55:51 AM] Sam: I will ask
[2/26/19, 7:56:02 AM] Jared Isaacman: I think 5 to make
it hurt
[2/26/19, 7:56:05 AM] Jared Isaacman: 3 even better
[2/26/19, 7:56:54 AM] Jared Isaacman: if i pull the plug
early it will come back to me how I didn't act in good faith
[2/26/19, 7:56:56 AM] Sam: Makes sense.
[2/26/19, 7:57:36 AM] Jared Isaacman: They will
immediately get lawyers going etc.
[2/26/19, 7:57:51 AM] Jared Isaacman: Not that it matters
[2/26/19, 7:59:55 AM] Sam: I will ask him.
LAUBER_SHIFT4PAYMENTS_0001474
[2/26/19, 9:09:20 AM] Jared Isaacman: You call him?
[2/26/19, 9:09:36 AM] Sam: Going to do it at 9:30
[2/26/19, 9:09:52 AM] Sam: Need a full 30 mins of his
time.
LAUBER_SHIFT4PAYMENTS_0001475
[2/26/19, 9:49:42 AM] Sam: Just got off phone
[2/26/19, 9:50:18 AM] Sam: Said has internal meeting
tomorrow but will get to us right after
[2/26/19, 9:50:40 AM] Sam: Said we can come out
Thursday or Friday to discuss.
[2/26/19, 9:50:47 AM] Jared Isaacman: Ok
[2/26/19, 9:50:52 AM] Sam: Think worth doing?
[2/26/19, 9:51:08 AM] Jared Isaacman: No
[2/26/19, 9:51:17 AM] Jared Isaacman: We are done.
[2/26/19, 9:51:33 AM] Sam: Got.
LAUBER_SHIFT4PAYMENTS_0001476
[2/26/19, 9:53:11 AM] Jared Isaacman: The agreements
have 90 day termination notices. That doesn’t mean
they won’t try to get an injunction or sue us for
hundreds of millions.
[2/26/19, 9:53:30 AM] Jared Isaacman: They can still
send us their version
[2/26/19, 9:53:50 AM] Jared Isaacman: and i have to
accept it or reject it... at least per their original email
[2/26/19, 9:53:59 AM] Sam: Got it
[2/26/19, 9:54:09 AM] Jared Isaacman: So there will now
be competing term sheets
[2/26/19, 9:54:17 AM] Sam: Yup.
[2/26/19, 9:54:24 AM] Jared Isaacman: So there is def
risk there
[2/26/19, 9:54:28 AM] Sam: Understood.
[2/26/19, 9:54:30 AM] Jared Isaacman: We are not done
yet
[2/26/19, 9:54:57 AM] Jared Isaacman: That's why I'm
laying low until I get my signed term sheets..
[2/26/19, 9:55:27 AM] Sam: Makes perfect sense.
LAUBER_SHIFT4PAYMENTS_0001477
[2/27/19, 9:34:33 AM] Jared Isaacman: Ryan just called
me
[2/27/19, 9:34:43 AM] Sam: Oh boy.
[2/27/19, 9:34:46 AM] Jared Isaacman: He is on his way
to Miami now
[2/27/19, 9:34:55 AM] Jared Isaacman: to meet with
them today
[2/27/19, 9:35:03 AM] Jared Isaacman: And said "we will
get you your term sheet"
[2/27/19, 9:36:25 AM] Jared Isaacman: I said to Ryan
"Great. Don’t forget to include language allowing us to
process on our payment platform, over our rails, to our
processors and eliminate all the card connect
technology requirements. I'll be in Vegas this afternoon
and can review when I land"
[2/27/19, 9:36:30 AM] Sam: Smart
[2/27/19, 9:36:40 AM] Jared Isaacman: He said he didn't
know what I meant
[2/27/19, 9:36:52 AM] Jared Isaacman: and I said "read
the emails and texts again"
[2/27/19, 9:38:46 AM] Jared Isaacman: I just sent you
what I mean on slack in case you need to communicate
it.
[2/27/19,9:40:16 AM] Sam: Ok.
LAUBER_SHIFT4PAYMENTS_0001478
[2/27/19, 10:30:55 AM] Jared Isaacman: I have a call
with Randy at noon.
[2/27/19, 10:32:04 AM] Jared Isaacman: I can't believe
they are coming after us when the agreements and
emails are so clear.
[2/27/19, 10:32:08 AM] Sam: What??
[2/27/19, 10:32:26 AM] Sam: They have no case.
[2/27/19, 10:32:46 AM] Jared Isaacman: I know but they
are big and that's what deep pockets do
[2/27/19, 10:33:05 AM] Jared Isaacman: I’m not
cancelling my meeting. Should I?
[2/27/19, 10:33:19 AM] Sam: No!!!!!
[2/27/19, 10:33:26 AM] Sam: Why would u?
[2/27/19, 10:33:29 AM] Sam: Take call
[2/27/19, 10:33:36 AM] Sam: If they threaten litigation I
can get involved
[2/27/19, 10:34:16 AM] Sam: This is insane that Ryan is
flying there.
[2/27/19, 10:34:27 AM] Sam: Do they not realize how bad
this looks?
[2/27/19, 10:34:37 AM] Jared Isaacman: He knows. It’s
all in the correspondence.
[2/27/19, 10:38:14 AM] Sam: Exactly.
LAUBER_SHIFT4PAYMENTS_0001479
[2/27/19, 2:01:43 PM] Jared Isaacman: He said they had
30 lawyers working on this
[2/27/19, 2:01:52 PM] Jared Isaacman: and feel they
have a really good case
[2/27/19, 2:02:04 PM] Jared Isaacman: So basically the
guy just admitted he hasn't read the emails
[2/27/19, 2:02:09 PM] Jared Isaacman: just the 90 day
agreements
[2/27/19, 2:02:19 PM] Jared Isaacman: which don't
mean shit if we have a deal
[2/27/19, 2:02:20 PM] Sam: Wow.
[2/27/19, 2:02:25 PM] Sam: Yup.
LAUBER_SHIFT4PAYMENTS_0001480
[2/27/19, 2:02:29 PM] Jared Isaacman: I said "Did you
not read the emails and texts the last two weeks?"
[2/27/19, 2:02:35 PM] Jared Isaacman: He said no
[2/27/19, 2:02:38 PM] Jared Isaacman: What a joke
[2/27/19, 2:02:40 PM] Sam: Unbelievable
[2/27/19, 2:02:55 PM] Jared Isaacman: "We know we
have to give you a term sheet"
[2/27/19, 2:03:05 PM] Jared Isaacman: "it's the emails we
have a problem with"
[2/27/19, 2:03:08 PM] Sam: Wow.
[2/27/19,2:03:18 PM] Sam: Do they realize they are
waiving privilege?
[2/27/19, 2:03:28 PM] Jared Isaacman: It's amazing
[2/27/19, 2:03:30 PM] Sam: Keep going!!!
LAUBER_SHIFT4PAYMENTS_0001481
[2/27/19, 2:03:51 PM] Jared Isaacman: "We are
prepared to sue for hundreds of millions of dollars"
[2/27/19, 2:03:58 PM] Jared Isaacman: I said "great send
the term sheet"
[2/27/19, 2:04:05 PM] Jared Isaacman: "I am not an
attorney. I have counsel for that"
[2/27/19, 2:04:09 PM] Sam: Perfect.
[2/27/19, 2:04:14 PM] Jared Isaacman: He said "We won't
pay for them"
[2/27/19, 2:04:23 PM] Jared Isaacman: I said "that isn't
really my concern"
[2/27/19, 2:04:26 PM] Sam: Lol.
[2/27/19, 2:04:46 PM] Jared Isaacman: "I just need a term
sheet from you by Friday and I will sign it, reject it or
counter it"
[2/27/19, 2:04:48 PM] Sam: Perfect.
LAUBER_SHIFT4PAYMENTS_0001482
[2/27/19, 2:07:14 PM] Jared Isaacman: I said "Randy,
while the agreements are clear on a 90 day out our
intent the last two weeks has been around a strategic
partnership on terms consistent with my emails... and
if we have that deal the 90 day agreements are a non·
issue"
[2/27/19, 2:07:31 PM] Jared Isaacman: he said “Well let
me read those emails"
[2/27/19, 2:07:35 PM] Sam: Perfect
[2/27/19, 2:07:38 PM] Jared Isaacman: crazy
[2/27/19, 2:07:51 PM] Sam: I cannot believe this.
LAUBER_SHIFT4PAYMENTS_0001483
[2/27/19, 2:08:17 PM] Jared Isaacman: I said "if we are
going to do business together, and I sure hope we can, I
think we should make decisions faster.. not get 30
lawyers involved"
[2/27/19, 2:08:22 PM] Sam: Well done.
[2/27/19, 2:08:41 PM] Jared Isaacman: Ok fun is over. I
got to go back to work now .. and prepare fro proxima.
[2/27/19, 2:08:52 PM] Sam: Ok.
LAUBER_SHIFT4PAYMENTS_0001484
[2/27/19, 3:26:08 PM] Sam: We handled perfectly.
[2/27/19, 3:26:19 PM] Sam: You want me to get involved
now informally?
[2/27/19, 3:26:51 PM] Sam: If he has not read emails I
assume he has not read letter either.
[2/27/19, 3:26:56 PM] Jared Isaacman: Yes go for it.
LAUBER_SHIFT4PAYMENTS_0001485
[2/28/19, 7:49:03 AM] Sam: You around for quick call?
[2/28/19, 7:56:27 AM] Jared Isaacman: Yes.
LAUBER_SHIFT4PAYMENTS_0001486
[3/1/19, 6:51:45 PM] Sam: How’s it looking.
[3/1/19, 6:53:03 PM] Jared Isaacman: No term sheet yet.
[3/1/19, 6:53:08 PM] Jared Isaacman: Supposedly 5pm
[3/1/19, 6:53:24 PM] Jared Isaacman: So in 7 min they
will breach their own deadline
[3/1/19, 6:53:31 PM] Sam: Well they will say close of
business
[3/1/19, 6:53:34 PM] Sam: 7 pm.
[3/1/19, 6:53:42 PM] Jared Isaacman: Ok. Fair
LAUBER_SHIFT4PAYMENTS_0001487
[3/1/19, 7:00:13 PM] Jared Isaacman: 7pm. Nothing.
[3/1/19, 7:24:24 PM] Sam: You want to wait to respond
Monday morning?
[3/1/19, 7:25:19 PM] Jared Isaacman: I think it's fair to
ping that one more time that today was the deadline.
LAUBER_SHIFT4PAYMENTS_0001488
[3/1/19, 8:11:47 PM] Sam: Do you want to call or text?
[3/1/19, 8:11:55 PM] Sam: Agree either way.
[3/1/19, 8:12:00 PM] Jared Isaacman: text
[3/1/19, 8:12:12 PM] Jared Isaacman: "Any update? I
thought the deadline was today.”
[3/1/19, 8:12:41 PM] Sam: Perfect.
LAUBER_SHIFT4PAYMENTS_0001489
[3/4/19, 8:59:16 AM] Jared Isaacman: I assume we still
send the notice today
[3/4/19, 8:59:30 AM] Jared Isaacman: If we don’t, we
basically agreed to extend their deadline
[3/4/19, 8:59:34 AM] Sam: Agreed
[3/4/19, 8:59:45 AM] Sam: Working on now.
LAUBER_SHIFT4PAYMENTS_0001490
[3/4/19, 11:35:16 AM] Sam: Letter sent.
[3/4/19, 11:35:50 AM] Jared Isaacman: Awesome.
LAUBER_SHIFT4PAYMENTS_0001491
[3/5/19, 8:28:09 AM] Jared Isaacman: FYI.. Randy said FT
is getting board approval on our term sheet today so
seems serious.
[3/5/19, 8:28:14 AM] Sam: Nice.
[3/5/19, 8:28:27 AM] Jared Isaacman: Merchant Link call
was rather uneventful
[3/5/19, 8:28:39 AM] Sam: Did not ask many questions?
[3/5/19, 8:28:46 AM] Jared Isaacman: No
[3/5/19, 8:28:56 AM] Jared Isaacman: "So is this all
transactions or just new ones?"
[3/5/19, 8:29:06 AM] Jared Isaacman: Then they said okay
[3/5/19, 8:29:08 AM] Sam: Lol
[3/5/19, 8:29:17 AM] Jared Isaacman: "We should talk to
our attorneys" .. ok
[3/5/19, 8:29:23 AM] Sam: Great.
LAUBER_SHIFT4PAYMENTS_0001492
[3/5/19, 2:32:32 PM] Sam: How did call go?
[3/5/19, 2:35:25 PM] Jared Isaacman: It was fine. We
have a call with their whole board at 4:30 to answer
questions so they can approve our offer. Of course the
whole thing is absurd.
LAUBER_SHIFT4PAYMENTS_0001493
[3/5/19, 4:37:51 PM] Jared Isaacman: You should listen
in on this call
[3/5/19, 4:41:16 PM] Jared Isaacman: It's probably going
to be pretty funny
[3/5/19, 4:45:10 PM] Sam: What's number?
[3/5/19, 4:45:23 PM] Jared Isaacman: I'll send you
shortly.
[3/5/19, 4:45:28 PM] Sam: Np.
[3/5/19, 5:06:07 PM] Sam: Listening now.
LAUBER_SHIFT4PAYMENTS_0001494
[3/5/19, 6:21:00 PM] Jared Isaacman: So Fintech
approved the deal at the board level. No lawyers. Just a
bunch of old wall st guys.
LAUBER_SHIFT4PAYMENTS_0001495
[3/5/19, 6:21:06 PM] Jared Isaacman: It was rather
humorous. "You mean we can own half of this revenue
and not deliver any services"
[3/5/19, 6:21:23 PM] Jared Isaacman: So my confidence
is pretty high right now we are good with them
[3/5/19, 6:21:26 PM] Sam: Awesome.
[3/5/19, 6:21:34 PM] Sam: That’s great news
LAUBER_SHIFT4PAYMENTS_0001496
[3/5/19, 6:48:18 PM] Sam: Merchant link call
[3/5/19, 7:18:25 pm] Jared Isaacman: Sounds good
LAUBER_SHIFT4PAYMENTS_0001497
[3/5/19, 7:58:25 PM] Jared Isaacman: So Fintech deal
approved and Merchant Link said they can’t continue
without our consent.
[3/5/19, 7:58:34 PM] Sam: Amazing.
[3/5/19, 7:58:41 PM] Jared Isaacman: The end.
LAUBER_SHIFT4PAYMENTS_0001498
[3/21/19, 7:18:14 AM] Jared Isaacman: I have been
getting a ton of calls from investment banks to discuss
this.
[3/21/19, 7:18:21 AM] Jared Isaacman: You interested?
[3/21/19, 7:19:31 AM] Sam: Do you want to talk to them?
[3/21/19, 7:19:56 AM] Jared Isaacman: I don’t have a lot
of time right now
[3/21/19, 7:20:04 AM] Jared Isaacman: Just gauging if
your interest.
[3/21/19, 7:20:19 AM] Sam: Yes
[3/21/19,7:20:24 AM] Sam: Worth call.
[3/21/19, 7:20:29 AM] Jared Isaacman: Ok.
LAUBER_SHIFT4PAYMENTS_0001499
[3/29/19, 10:15:39 AM] Sam: How did it go?
[3/29/19, 10:15:40 AM] Mike: Fine
[3/29/19, 10:15:41 AM] Mike: Uneventful
[3/29/19, 10:15:49 AM] Mike: Very professional and
business first
[3/29/19, 10:16:07 AM] Mike: They asked how we saw
things progressing and what the next steps were.
[3/29/19, 10:16:14 AM] Mike: We said we would be in
touch.
[3/29/19, 10:16:21 AM] Sam: Great.
LAUBER_SHIFT4PAYMENTS_0001500
[4/9/19, 11:38:17 AM] Jared Isaacman: We should prob
do that call today at 1:30
[4/9/19, 11:39:05 AM] Sam: Ok
LAUBER_SHIFT4PAYMENTS_0001501
[4/10/19, 9:47:23 AM] Jared Isaacman: Give him a call.
He is waiting.
[4/10/19, 9:48:34 AM] Sam: On it
LAUBER_SHIFT4PAYMENTS_0001502
[4/10/19, 10:32:55 AM] Sam: Just got off phone.
[4/10/19, 10:33:14 AM] Sam: Said call went well but no
decision.
[4/10/19, 10:33:30 AM] Sam: Wants to connect Friday.
[4/10/19, 10:33:36 AM] Jared Isaacman: Ok
LAUBER_SHIFT4PAYMENTS_0001503
[4/10/19, 10:34:07 AM] Sam: Let's give him something in
writing by Friday.
[4/10/19, 10:34:12 AM] Jared Isaacman: yes
[4/10/19, 10:34:17 AM] Jared Isaacman: I agree

[4/15/19, 11:41:43 AM] Jared Isaacman: Hey - can we
issue a notice today to CC that says all new merchants
must go on Shift4 payments effective immediately.
