On May 10, 2022, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Shift4 Payments, Inc. (the “Company”) approved a new stock repurchase program that will take effect on May 11, 2022. The stock repurchase program authorizes the Company to repurchase up to $100 million of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 (“Common Stock”) and will expire on December 31, 2022, subject to market conditions, contractual restrictions and other factors.
Repurchases under the program may be made in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, with the amount and timing of repurchases depending on market conditions and corporate needs. Open market repurchases will be structured to occur within the pricing and volume requirements of Rule 10b-18. The Company may also, from time to time, enter into Rule 10b5-1 plans to facilitate repurchases of its shares under this authorization.
This program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of Common Stock and the program may be extended, modified, suspended or discontinued at any time at the Company’s discretion.
