On December 18, 2025, Shift4 Payments announced that founder Jared Isaacman was sworn in as the 15th Administrator of NASA following his U.S. Senate confirmation vote on December 17, 2025, prompting his resignation as Executive Chairman, Class I director, and member of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, with Taylor Lauber simultaneously appointed as Chairman of the Board. In connection with ethics commitments tied to his new federal role, Isaacman agreed to limit and reconfigure how he votes his significant equity stake and to pursue, within 60 days of starting at NASA, the conversion of his remaining Shift4 equity interests into Class A shares and termination of a tax receivable agreement to collapse the company’s Up-C structure, a series of changes that will result in Shift4 no longer qualifying as a “controlled company” under New York Stock Exchange corporate governance standards, with implications for its board independence and oversight framework.
