Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Shift4 Payments, Inc. insider Jared Isaacman filed a Form 4 detailing a major recapitalization of his holdings into a single share class. On February 7, 2026, a Transaction Agreement among Shift4 Payments, LLC, Isaacman and his wholly owned Rook Holdings Inc. reorganized equity interests.

Rook redeemed and exchanged all of its 19,801,028 LLC Interests for an equal number of Shift4 Class A common shares, and the corresponding Class B common shares were canceled. Separately, Isaacman exchanged all of his Class C common shares for an equal number of Class A shares. Following these steps, the only class of Shift4 stock owned by or through entities controlled by Isaacman is Class A common stock, with substantial amounts held of record by Rook.

In connection with these transactions, Isaacman was also issued 423,296 shares of Series A Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock in a private placement. The Series A is convertible into Class A common stock on a one-for-0.9780 basis at the holder’s option and will mandatorily convert on May 1, 2028. Certain Class A shares are held in UTMA accounts for Liv A. Isaacman, for which Isaacman disclaims beneficial ownership.

Insights

Isaacman consolidates Shift4 ownership into Class A and adds mandatorily convertible preferred shares.

The Form 4 shows Jared Isaacman, a more-than-10% owner of Shift4 Payments (FOUR), simplifying his equity structure. Through a Transaction Agreement, Rook Holdings Inc., which he wholly owns, exchanged 19,801,028 LLC Interests for the same number of Class A shares, with matching Class B shares canceled.

Isaacman also exchanged all of his Class C shares for an equal number of Class A shares, so his economic stake is now concentrated in one common class. Large indirect holdings are recorded in Rook, while some Class A shares are held in UTMA accounts for Liv A. Isaacman, where he explicitly disclaims beneficial ownership.

Additionally, he received 423,296 shares of Series A Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock in a private placement. This Series A is convertible into Class A on a one-for-0.9780% basis before its mandatory conversion on May 1, 2028. Overall, the filing describes structural shifts and preferred issuance without indicating cash sales into the market, so it functionally restructures rather than reduces his exposure.
