Subject: CardConnect - BAFIN update

Hi Jared,

As follow up Orly called me and updated as follows:

1.  In the last two days there were intensive discussions + calls + meetings with BAFIN.
2.  It was cleared out that the entire issue popped up since we ourselves approached BAFIN for approval of the obvious fact that CardConnect is now controlled by a
new shareholder (i.e. Shift4).
3.  In normal circumstances, we would do it after closing, but since the closing took place after 1.1.2018 and due to the change in law such process must
(!!!???!!!) be done BEFORE closing.
4.  BAFIN requested some documents + answers to some questions. It all has been sent to BAFIN by COB yesterday.
5.  The CEO of CardConnect is Mr. Angelo Grecco and together with Orly they manage to tune down BAFIN and convince them that it is a formal process of change of
control.

As per Orly, Angelo is on top of the situation and she is 99.9% sure that it will be ok.

BAFIN did promise to make it fast track.

We will update on any developments.

Regards,

Assaf

    reguliertes Zahlungsinstitut mit einer Erlaubnis zur Erbringung von Acquiring-
    und Finanztransfergeschäften, mit Sitz in Frankfurt am Main.

    Im Rahmen der Erbringung des Acquiringgeschäfts, gehen wir, im Auftrag und für Rechnung unserer

    Das von uns betriebene Finanztransfergeschäft umfasst im Wesentlichen, die technische
    Zahlungsabwicklung von E-Geld-Produkten (paysafecard) und Online Bezahlverfahren
    (Giropay, SOFORT-Überweisung) und die damit verbundenen Geldtransfers, in Form von
    Auszahlungen an die jeweiligen Vertragspartner (Händler, Acquirer, Netzbetreiber).

    Unsere Vertriebsaktivitäten erfolgen ausschließlich über indirekte Vertriebswege und
    Vertriebspartnerschaften.

    Die Auszahlung der Händlererlöse an unsere Acquiringkunden, erfolgt auf Basis der mit den
    Kreditkartenorganisationen, bestehenden Lizenzen und Vereinbarungen. Der überwiegende Teil
    unseres Acquiringvolumens, wird durch unsere Muttergesellschaft, die First Data GmbH,
    prozessiert und abgewickelt.

    Unsere Vertriebspartner:
       Acquirer und Netzbetreiber
       Banken und Sparkassen

    4. Angaben zu den Personen, die die Geschäfte der CardProcess GmbH tatsächlich leiten:
       (Sind unter Punkt 2 aufgefuhrt.)

    5. Erklärung der Mitglieder des Verwaltungs- bzw. Aufsichtsorgans - sofern vorhanden - und der Geschäftsleitung, dass die in § 2c Absatz 1 Satz 5 Nummer 4 und 5 ZAG genannten Anforderungen erfiillt sind:

    Wir bestätigen hiermit, dass die Voraussetzungen gemäß § 2c Absatz 1, Satz 5, Nr. 4 und 5 ZAG, nach
    bestem Wissen und Gewissen, erfüllt werden.

    6.  Kurze Beschreibung der beabsichtigten künftigen Entwicklung des Geschäftsmodells:

    Für das Jahr 2018 und 2019 ist keine strategische Neuausrichtung, der in Punkt 3. beschriebenen
    Geschäftsaktivitäten der CardProcess GmbH, geplant.

    In Q1/2018 ist keine strategische Neuausrichtung geplant. Das bestehende Geschäftsmodell (siehe
    Punkt 3.) wird im Jahr 2018 weitergeführt.

    Business Plan mittelfristig (2018 - 2019):
    Die CardProcess GmbH plant die strategische Erweiterung des Produktportfolios, im Bereich Issuing
    (Debit- und Prepaidkarten), im Rahmen der bestehenden Partnerschaft mit der Wirecard Bank AG. Im
    Zuge der strategischen Erweiterung und der damit verbundenen, zusätzlichen Prozessierung von
    Transaktionen auf eigenen Systemen, plant die CardProcess GmbH, die bestehende Auslagerung von
    Acquiring-Dienstleistungen auf die First Data GmbH, in 2019, zu beenden.

    8. Aktueller Business Plan der Muttergesellschaft (SHIFT4 Payments, LLC):

      *   SHIFT4 Payments, LLC - Ist-Zahlen 2017:
            *   Anzahl Mitarbeiter: < 800
            *   > 100.000 Merchant Locations

            9.  Im Falle einer Unternehmensverbindung: Begründung des Zusammenschlusses:

    Die strategische Akquisition der CardProcess GmbH, soll der SHIFT4 Payments, LLC, den Eintritt in
    den europäischen Acquiring- und Payment Markt ermöglichen. Aktuell erzielt die Shift4 Payments,
    ausschliesslich Umsätze im US- und kanadischen Markt und kann in anderen Märkten
    nicht tätig werden. Durch die Akquisition eines regulierten Instituts (CardProcess), kann
