In connection with the exercise of the redemption or exchange of LLC Interests, (1) Rook will be required to surrender a number of shares of Class B common stock, which the Company will cancel for no consideration on a one-for-one basis with the number of LLC Interests so redeemed or exchanged and (2) Rook will surrender LLC Interests to Shift4 Payments, LLC for cancellation.
As of March 31, 2025, the Company owns 75% of the common stock of Vectron, a German corporation providing POS systems, POS software, and digital and cloud-based services worldwide. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under ASC 805. The Company consolidates 100% of Vectron’s assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. The 25% economic interest in Vectron not held by the Company amounted to $25.3 million and $23.7 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and was recorded as a noncontrolling interest. The noncontrolling interest was calculated as the number of shares of Vectron’s common stock not owned by the Company multiplied by the price per share of Vectron’s common stock as of the acquisition date, adjusted by the portion of Vectron’s net income not attributable to the Company.
