Absolutely. I think the focus should be on how many merchants we can transition
in Q4. That matters the most.

Hey Sam. I know it's a busy time of year. Just wanted to check in before the new year. We
have a few large fence-post opportunities approaching that were hoping on your support to
close. Let me know when you can connect. Thanks.

1   Q. And you mentioned last time that you had
2   brought with you a binder of personal notes?
3   A. Yeah. There they are.
4   Q. Is that what that is?
5. A. Yes.
6   Q. Okay. Great. And did you bring hard copies of
7. those documents?
8   A. Yes.
9   Q. Great. We'll mark the next in line, then, is
10  going to be Exhibit 20 --
11  ( যেখানে Shift4 Exhibit 20
12  চিহ্নিত করা হয়েছে।)
13  MR. EDKINS: Can I take a look when he's done?
14  MR. WEYGANDT: Absolutely.
15  BY MR. WEYGANDT:
16  Q. Okay. And, Mr. Isaacman, this is just your
17  personal notes that you had taken, it looks like, from 2013
18 through when?
19  A. Yes.
20  Q. Okay.
21  A. I mean, all sorts of stuff in here. But, yeah.
22  Q. Cool. We'll have plenty of time to go through
23 those.
24  MR. WEYGANDT: Why don't we take another
25  five-minute break to let counsel take a look at that.

1   (লাঞ্চ বিরতি নেওয়া৷)
2   MR. WEYGANDT: We are back on the record.
3   BY MR. WEYGANDT:
4   Q. Mr. Isaacman, I have handed you what has been
5   marked as Exhibit 6 to the Complaint in this matter.
6       And on Bates Number Shift4-CardConnect 000057
7   and 58 are a series of text messages between yourself and
8. a gentleman named Sam Shoushey; do you see that?
9. A.Yes.
10  Q. Okay. And do you see all the way at the end of
11  this message on January 13, 2018, you sent a text message
12  to Mr. Shoushey that just contained a question mark; do
13  you see that?
14  A. I do.
15  Q. Can you tell me why you sent that?
16  A. Yes.
17  Q. Why?
18  A. So throughout the course of 2017, we had a
19  number of communications with Card Connect, as they had
20  existed as a reseller of ours really since our
21  acquisition of what was formerly Future POS, now
22  Shift4 Payments, in, I think it was, August of '16,
23  somewhere in there.
24  And, you know, we have an existing reseller
25  relationship. We have a celebration. First Data

1   acquires, you know, the Card Connect assets, you know,
2   which is a big deal that would have implications to the
3   whole industry. It was very important to us to
4   communicate and try and get feedback on how we would work
5   through, you know, a number of opportunities that we were
6   pursuing together in terms of new customers, as well as
7   the existing base of customers that we had, you know,
8   between us and them, you know, which involved Card Connect
9   customers that were using Shift4 software. So we were
10  making every effort to reach out to them really at all
11  times, find a path that would work for both of us, and it
12  just wasn't happening. So this was just another --
13  another outreach to try and do that.
14  Q. When you testified earlier that you were going to
15  send Mr. Shoushey a congratulations text for his
16  promotion within the organization, do you recall that?
17  A. Yeah. So this is more than a congratulatory text.
18  This is really just trying to say, you know, like, why
19. won't you communicate with me? We're -- you know, we
20  have opportunities on the line. We have customers on the
21  line. Like, why aren't you responding?
22  Q. Okay. So on January 13, 2018, how did you know
23  that Mr. Shoushey was not your point of contact any longer
24  at Card Connect?
25  A. I -- I don't -- I never said he wasn't my point

1   of contact. I just said that he had a different role
2   within the organization. The reality is, I mean, again,
3   I worked with Sam for many, many years within, you know,
4   that organization.
5   We had a lot of communications throughout the
6   whole year. We were pursuing some very large
7   opportunities, you know, together. So, you know, it's
8   natural to -- to continue, and I think I was sending
9   messages to him and Angelo at the same time.
10  Q. Mr. Isaacman, my question is: How did you know
11. on January 13, 2018, that Mr. Shoushey had a different
12 role?
13  A. I don't know.
14  Q. Okay. I'm going to hand you what's been marked
15 as Exhibit 17 -- actually. Strike that.(বিরতি)
16  Q. Mr. Isaacman, there's been testimony before
17  about an e-mail that was sent from you to Mr. Angelo
18  Greco; do you recall that, in December of 2017?
19  A. An e-mail to Mr. Greco? I sent a lot of e-mails.
20  Q. Sure. I'm going to ask you if you recall any
21  specific language from that e-mail, again, that you have
22  not reviewed before this deposition.
23      Do you recall specifically using the term
24 "dream catcher" in your e-mail?
25  A. I don't.
