- Proceeds from offering, along with up to $1,735M in new debt and cash, will fund Shift4's acquisition of Global Blue Group Holding AG.
- Shift4 enters restructuring agreement with founder Jared Isaacman to collapse Up-C structure, eliminating estimated $542M in future TRA payments.

- Offering is not contingent on closing of the Global Blue merger; restructuring is contingent on offering and Isaacman's Senate confirmation as NASA administrator.
