These text exchanges reveal. an aggressive, and at times, threatening tone. Repeated use of phrases like "crush," "bury," "destroy," "scorched earth," and "bankrupt" are used. This provides strong support for the concept.

Exhibit 18: Email from Nate Hirsh to Kyle Grzbek (Document 94-18)

• Email Text: * Nate Hirsh:: "FYI- I spoke to Nelson Gomes at length last night. Great conversation. I think he is gettable, because frankly, I think he is scared of us based on all of the press about Shift4 taking over the world." * "Overall, the conversation was easy, light hearted, and I think he likes and trusts me. We agreed that a follow-up discussion next week would be ideal, at which time, I will continue feeding him my BS." * "If feel that if we can get him on our side as a trusted advisor, he could prove to be a very strong ally." The most important parts. are statements indicating. that the. contact at hand, Nelson. Gomez fears. The Shift4 is a fear factor. Hirsh admits, saying, "I will continue feeding him my BS." This is a level of deception, but maybe not. This statement, coupled with the other exhibits text message, builds. the case.

Exhibit 24: Email from Jared Isaacman to Shift4 Sales Team re: Merchant Demise Report (Document 94-24)

• The Merchant. Demise. Report: Jared Isaacman's email introduces and urges the Shift4 sales. team. to. The "Merchant Demise Report. I'm going to produce it." “I’m going to deliver the MDR (Merchant Demise. Report) every. Sunday night at 9 p.m.” states. that this. report will be generated and distributed weekly.
• Content and Purpose: “The MDR has ALL merchants that were lost to Bridgepay, ControlScan, DataPay, and SecureNet. All the logos are set to be right the merchant.”
• Aggressive Tactic: "You should have this open all week. Email it to every prospect you have and any active opportunities." This demonstrates. the distribution strategy.

• Email Text (Relevant Excerpt):

  • Sent: Tuesday, February 12, 2019 6:21 PM
    • Subject: Re: Other Jared isaacman states:"Ok. We will do 26 free terminals and 2 cents better.I will crush them"

This shows intent.

Exhibit 55: Email Chain – Jared Isaacman and Others re: "Operation Swat the Fly" (Document 94-55)

• Email Chain: This exhibit centers. Operation Swat the Fly," evidently. targeting ControlScan. Key. phrases and strategies. are outlined below, straight out:

  • Daniel Montell: "As for Operation. Swat. the. Fly..., I'm happy. to. take care of both. identifying. the shared. merchants and. preparing. the. spreadsheet...".
• Jared Isaacman
• "I will. pay. $5,000 per. every CTL merchant”. * Daniel Montell. (Response): "Will. this include merchants. that. boarded. as Shift4 accounts but. were. lost. to. ControlScan..."
  • Jared. Isaacman (Response): "Yes. Those are the best ones. I want. them. to. see. the. pain." Later. Emails:

• Daniel Montell.:"..Overall, we've. lost. 255 merchants to. Ctl...Our. kill. ratio. against. Ctl. is. 70% and. our. kill. ratio. for all. Gateway. only. merchants."

These Operation Swat the Fly" emails, reveal. a coordinated effort.. The consistent use. of. "kill CTL" and. planning. email. campaigns highlights. a strategy designed. to. impact. ControlScan. Isaacman's specific offer. of. "$5,000 per. every. CTL merchant" shows. financial incentives. to. target. their. customer base.

Exhibit 61- Email Chain – Jared Isaacman, re: "Crush Them." (Document 94-61) Subject: “Crush Them.

Email Exchange. * Jared Issacman: wrote a Subject: titled “Crush Them”. “BridgePay just won another 2 deals from us.

I want to crush them.

I was going to include an image of a car crushing another car but it would load.

• Daniel Montell: Responds with the list of lost merchants. Jared Issacman, responds, stating,* "I'm going to put a bounty. on our competitors."

Exhibit 95- Email Chain Jared Isaacman, Michael K. Upshur, re: Control Scan * Jared Issacman: Wrote to Michael Upshur. "Shift4 is in a declared war. The only focus right now is winning with our gateway offering and eliminating our competition. Our competitors are Control Scan, Bridgepay and Datacap. We will win every deal, no exceptions." Jared’s email states Shift4’s position and who their competitors were.

These exhibits, in their totality, present a set of actions and a very clear state of mind. The aggressive language, financial incentives, and targeted campaigns are all documented.
