Material Agreement Form 8 K

Item 1.01.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On September 30, 2024 (the "Closing Date"), Shift4 Payments, LLC (the "Shift4 LLC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Shift4 Payments, Inc., entered into the Settlement Line Credit Agreement (the "Settlement Line Agreement"), by and between Shift4 LLC, as the borrower, and Citizens Bank, N.A. ("Citizens"), as the lender, providing for a settlement line of credit with an aggregate available amount of up to $100.0 million (the "Settlement Line"). The purpose of the Settlement Line is to provide financing for day-to-dayfunding of certain interchange fees and related obligations of Shift4 LLC's merchants (the "Merchants") arising in the ordinary course of business and will reduce the amount of cash collateral required under the sponsorship agreement with Citizens (the "Sponsorship Agreement"), which was amended in conjunction with the closing of the Settlement Line Agreement.

The Settlement Line is scheduled to mature on September 29, 2025, subject to extensions under certain circumstances as described therein.

The obligations under the Settlement Line are required to be guaranteed by any current or future, direct or indirect subsidiary of Shift4 LLC that (i) becomes a party to the Sponsorship Agreement or a Merchant Agreement, (ii) has rights in the settlement account, certain reserve accounts related to the Sponsorship Agreement or certain similar accounts that are required to secure the Settlement Line, (iii) is entitled to or receives certain Merchant accounts receivables, or (iv) otherwise owns any collateral required to secure the Settlement Line (collectively, the "Guarantors"). As of the Closing Date, there were no Guarantors under the Settlement Line.

The Settlement Line is required to be secured by first-priority liens on certain property and assets of Shift4 LLC and the Guarantors, subject to certain customary exceptions.

Draws under the Settlement Line bear interest at a rate per annum equal to either (x) a daily simple SOFR based rate (subject to a 0.0% floor), plusan applicable margin of 0.75%, or (y) to the extent required by the Settlement Line Agreement upon the occurrence of certain specified events, an alternate base rate (equal to the highest of the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus0.50%, the daily simple SOFR rate (subject to a 0.0% floor) plus1.00%, and the prime rate announced by Citizens from time to time). In addition to making periodic interest payments on the principal amount of outstanding draws under the Settlement Line, Shift4 LLC is required to pay an unused fee under the Settlement Line in respect of the unused availability thereunder at a rate equal to 0.15% per annum.

In addition, the Settlement Line Agreement contains certain customary covenants, representations and warranties, affirmative covenants, and reporting obligations. In addition, Citizens is permitted to accelerate all outstanding draws and other obligations, terminate the Settlement Line and exercise other specified remedies upon the occurrence of certain events of default, subject to certain grace periods and exceptions.
