#### Resignation of Chief Executive Officer and Appointment of Executive Chairman
On June 4, 2025, Shift4 Payments, Inc. (the "Company") announced that Jared Isaacman has resigned from his role as the Company's Chief Executive Officer, effective June 5, 2025 (the "Effective Time"). As of the Effective Time, Mr. Isaacman has been appointed as the Executive Chairman of the Company. In his role as Executive Chairman, Mr. Isaacman will remain an executive officer and Class I member of the board of directors of the Company (the "Board").

#### Appointment of New Chief Executive Officer and Class I Director
As part of the Company's previously announced succession planning and in connection with Mr. Isaacman's resignation, the Company's President, Taylor Lauber, has been appointed as the new Chief Executive Officer and the Company's principal executive officer, effective as of the Effective Time. Mr. Lauber has also been appointed by the Company's Board to serve as a Class I member of the Board, with a term to expire at the 2027 annual meeting of stockholders and until his respective successor is duly elected and qualified or until his earlier death, resignation or removal. The Board is confident in Mr. Lauber's ability to lead the Company into its next phase of growth.

A description of Mr. Lauber's background and experience can be found in the Company's definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on April 30, 2025 (the "Proxy Statement"). The Company believes Mr. Lauber is qualified to serve on the Board due to his extensive experience in executive leadership positions and his knowledge of our business in particular, gained through his service as President and Chief Strategy Officer.

Mr. Lauber is a party to the Company's standard indemnification agreement for directors and officers.

There is no arrangement or understanding between Mr. Lauber and any other person pursuant to which he was selected as a director of the Company, and there is no family relationship between either of Mr. Lauber and any of the Company's other directors or executive officers. Other than already disclosed in the Proxy Statement, Mr. Lauber has no material interest in any transaction that is required to be disclosed under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

The Company intends to file an amendment to this filing containing any information called for in this Item 5.02 that is not determined or is unavailable at the time of this filing, such as material amendments to Mr. Lauber's compensation arrangement, if any, within four business days after the information is determined or becomes available.

#### Restructuring Transactions
As previously disclosed, on April 29, 2025 the Company entered into an agreement (the "Restructuring Transaction Agreement") with Mr. Isaacman and his holding company ("Rook") to simplify its organizational and capital structure, including, among other things, collapsing the Company's current "Up-C" structure (the "Up-C Collapse") via a taxable exchange and the assignment and waiver of the Tax Receivable Agreement, dated June 4, 2020, by and between the Company, Rook and the other parties thereto (the "TRA" and the foregoing transactions, collectively, the "Restructuring Transactions").

The Restructuring Transactions were subject to several conditions, including the ratification and confirmation by the U.S. Senate of Mr. Isaacman's appointment as administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. As a result of this condition not being met, Mr. Isaacman is no longer required to reduce his voting shares and the Restructuring Transaction Agreement has automatically terminated in accordance with its terms.

## Exhibit 99.1

**Exhibit 99.1** 

Dear Shift4 Shareholders,

My brief stint in politics was a thrilling experience, and being considered to lead NASA was truly the honor of a lifetime. Even knowing the outcome, I would do it all over again.

I have known Taylor Lauber for over 25 years and have worked closely with him at Shift4 since 2018. Over the last six months, I have watched him exceed expectations and successfully operate the company in preparation for his role as the incoming CEO. Shift4 remains on an incredible trajectory and as a result, I would never deny him the opportunity to replace me as CEO, a position he has rightfully earned.

That said, I have been working since I was a teenager and not planning to stop now. I love this company, the strategy and our team. As the largest shareholder, I am eager to continue contributing where I believe my efforts will have the most impact. Effective today, I will be acting as Executive Chairman, focusing on supporting Taylor particularly on our most substantial projects, as well as capital allocation and M&A, and Taylor Lauber will assume the CEO position. The timing is fortuitous considering tomorrow marks the 5-year anniversary of our IPO. My voting rights will remain as they have since our IPO and all other previously announced structural changes that were contingent upon my departure will not occur.

The stage is well set at Shift4: we are tracking well against guidance and our mid-term outlook, we have a transformational deal with Global Blue nearing close (subject to satisfaction of remaining conditions), and our restaurant, hotel, stadium, and unified payment products are gaining meaningful traction across international markets. I am excited to rejoin the team and support Taylor as we continue to execute the plan and take our winning strategy all over the world.

Best Regards,

Jared Isaacman

Executive Chairman
