Mr. Whalen's departure was not the result of any disagreement with the Company or any matter related to the Company's operations, policies or practices. On the Effective Date, Christopher N. Cruz, the Company's Chief Financial Officer will be designated as the Company's principal accounting officer and Filippos Mintiloglitis will be designated the interim Chief Accounting Officer.

On the transition, Shift4's CEO Taylor Lauber stated: "This is a fantastic opportunity for Jay, and I'm thrilled to see him thrive in this next chapter of his career. The depth of talent and process maturity we have within our accounting organization is largely as a result of the leadership contributions of Jay and others. For this reason I'm excited and confident in Filippos as we continue our integration of Global Blue. Having led the public company reporting function as a senior leader in the accounting organization of Global Blue, Filippos will bring his technical expertise and international experience to our increasingly global organization."
