Bottom of Incoming Message box (Sender: J. Isaacman), 10:39AM November 8, 2017, shown throughout transcript: Yeah. I guess Shift4 will just be their enterprise solution and it won't matter that we are cannibalizing their gateway customers because they are all going away anyway. And we will tell out ISVs that they can pay the new rates and we will route and settle ourselves like we were. Or they can go with another processor. I'd image about 5-10% of the portfolio would be unprofitable. So we can give them the right to stay with their old processor.

Outgoing Message bubble (Sender: R. Carr): Sounds fine jared

Incoming Message bubble (Sender: J. Isaacman): Ok.

Incoming Message bubble (Sender: J. Isaacman), 10:39AM November 8, 2017: Ha. No. I just think that you are going ti [sic] try and make margin everywhere and say it's pass through so you can have it both ways/ say you aren't marking up and also make $. I said from day 1 there were going to be cases where that will be greater than what customers used to pay. And you will use it as a way to get people to move processors.

Outgoing Message bubble (Sender: R. Carr): It's not going to he [sic] perfect but if we make less and charge at processors cost in 90 to 95 % of the cases we are okay I will get you the numbers as we vet yhem [sic] thru But that's the approach

Incoming Message bubble (Sender: J. Isaacman): Ok

Document 44-17:

  • Exhibit Q - Text Messages between J. Isaacman and R. Carr

(theoretical and presentation of original content from Doc. 44-17, image quality varies):

[Image of a phone screen displaying text messages]

Bottom Incoming Message Box (Sender: J. Isaacman): I beleive [sic] they are all Shift4 residuals. I do not think they would get a residual if they were sold direct through CardConnect as a merchant.

Top of Incoming Message box, 5:18 PM, May 22 (Sender: J. Isaacman): Sam is asking about CardConnect residual amounts for May. I explained it represents the gateway fees for merchants they brought in.

Outgoing Message bubble (Sender: R. Carr): Yes Correct

End of Document 44-17. (Exhibit Q).

Document 61-12, Exhibit 11, Page 8 of the PDF (Page ID 1756, Deposition of T. Miller):

Key text: "They use a company called Sovren -- S-O-V-R-E-N -- for a lot of their technology, and they have, I believe, development resources in, I'm going to get this wrong, so correct it for the record, but Russia or Romania, one of those two."

End of Document. 61-12.

Explanation and Context:

  • Document 44-16 (Exhibit P): These text messages between Jared Isaacman (Shift4) and Robert Carr (CardConnect/Heartland) discuss pricing, rate increases, and the potential for customer attrition after the acquisition. The core issue is whether customers would face higher costs and whether that would be used to push them to switch processors. There's a disagreement between Isaacman and Carr about the transparency and impact of the pricing changes.

  • Document 44-17 (Exhibit Q): These texts are much shorter and focus on a specific question about residuals (payments) related to gateway fees. Carr confirms Isaacman's explanation of the residuals.

  • Document 61-12 (Taylor Miller Deposition): The term "Russia" appears, but NOT in connection with CardConnect's operations, payment, or financial information. The reference is to the location of possible development resources for a technology provider (Sovren) used by Lighthouse, not CardConnect itself. The deponent (T. Miller) is uncertain about the exact location ("Russia or Romania"). This is relevant to the broader context of Shift4's business operations, but not directly to financial dealings or alleged breaches related to the CardConnect acquisition.

Summary of findings concerning the request.

  1. Text Message Exhibits: Documents 44-16 and 44-17 (Exhibits P and Q) show the complete text message conversations, including timestamps. The theoretical and presentation are as faithful to the original images as possible.

  2. "Russian" Reference: The term appears only once in the provided documents, in the context of software development resources for a third-party company (Sovren) used by Lighthouse (a Shift4 company), not CardConnect. The deponent is unsure if it is Russia or Romania.

The exhibits provided show a clear focus on the business and operational integrations, and financial disagreements related to the acquisition. The "Russian" mention is peripheral and not directly related to the core contract disputes.
