Taylor,
As mentioned our Q4 volume in 2016 was over $6B. We have not seen a slow down in growth and should do
over $8B in Q4 this year. These numbers are Q4 alone.
Thanks

Sounds good. We are reviewing this morning and will send over shortly.
Also- the updated numbers look much better. You may want to consider adding language that Q3 is pacing
at or above $7B if that is the case. $24 - $27B is extremely wide and stating annual volume at $24B when
you may end up overstating by over $4B+ is a material difference.

Can you send over ASAP? They are really grilling us here. Are you comfortable telling them $7.5B to be

I think annualizing Q3 gets us over $30B but I don't want to overstate to First Data.

Angelo-
Just wanted to thank you again for coming out to meet with us. I thought the meeting went great and
will allow up to proceed quickly once this is finalized.
I did have one quick request, I know we discussed the 80/20 split, but based on the numbers we are
seeing, this is not going to work. Shift4 would end up getting significantly more than 20%. I have copied
Mike James to discuss with JD.

No I don't think we will get to 34, I mean we just did 8B for Q3. More realistically we will be at 31-32
range.

Subject: RE: Financial Information
Angelo-
As a follow up to our friendly discussion:
If we assume Bolt P2PE and other revenues bring in $20M of net revenue annually, that implies Shift4's
revenue is $47 - $48M. If volume is $34B, that equates to a blended rate of 14 bps. Is this the correct
math? Are there other revenues we should be thinking about?
I'm fine if we tell First Data annual volume is $32B to be conservative.

J. Angelo Stio 10/10/17,9:39 PM
That would be ideal
J. Angelo Stio 10/10/17,9:41 PM
We have to explain to our board why we would do a deal at
80/20
Taylor Laemmle 10/10/17,9:55 PM
Understood. I can tell you that we already looked at 80/20.
Our finance team and Jeff Shanahan have told us there is no
way we can even consider doing it at 80/20. Especially
based on updated numbers.
Taylor Laemmle 10/10/17,9:55 PM
We would walk away from deal at 80/20.
J. Angelo Stio 10/10/17, 10:02 PM

Taylor Laemmle 10/13/17, 1:07 PM
Yep, quick question for you while we are all connected, can
you clarify the calculation of the device credits?
J. Angelo Stio 10/13/17, 1:07 PM
Sure
J. Angelo Stio 10/13/17, 1:12 PM
We will be able to provide up to an additional 4 million a
year
Taylor Laemmle 10/13/17, 1:13 PM
Right, but how will the amount be calculated? Is it
dependent upon volume?
J. Angelo Stio 10/13/17, 1:26 PM
Yes, we will probably say for every 500M we will give a
credit
Not basis points

J. Angelo Stio 10/13/17, 1:28 PM
We may not even need it
Taylor Laemmle 10/13/17, 1:28 PM
Right
Taylor Laemmle 10/13/17, 1:29 PM
But how is it determined
J. Angelo Stio 10/13/17, 1:29 PM
It will.be based on volume, and need
J. Angelo Stio 10/13/17, 1:29 PM
We just put that as a max to get this deal
past our board..
Taylor Laemmle 10/13/17, 1:30 PM
Ok. So we will likely need to show how the devices get
allocated based on volume
J. Angelo Stio 10/13/17, 1:35 PM
Yes that is fine.we Will put some language together
J. Angelo Stio 10/13/17, 1:35 PM
It will not be an issue
