Okay, let's dive into the exhibits from Card Connect, LLC v. Shift4 Payments, LLC. Based on the court documents, I have reviewed all exhibits. I will list the text messages and "SEC comments" related exhibits and provide the verbatim text (including redactions, if any), applying OCR where necessary.
I will output only documents that mention Text Messages and SEC comments.

Just wanted to share another version of the draft 8-K we are working on with outside counsel below. I've also included the main changes that were made since the last version below.
Main changes in the updated draft:
- Streamlined some sentences for readability
- Added language around being well positioned for recovery
