     This Amendment No. 2 supplements the information set forth in the Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), as amended from time to time (the "Schedule 13D"), relating to Common Stock, par value $0.01 (the "Common Stock"), of LKQ Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer"). All capitalized terms contained herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D.

     The information set forth in response to each separate Item below shall be deemed to be a response to all Items where such information is relevant. The Schedule 13D is hereby supplementally amended as follows:

Item 4.    Purpose of Transaction

     On August 12, 2020, the Board of Directors of the Issuer (the "Board") appointed Jacob H. Welch to serve as a director of the Issuer.
 
     On August 14, 2020, the Issuer reported the appointment of Mr. Welch to the Board on a Current Report on Form 8-K (the "Form 8-K"), which Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.  In connection with such appointment, the Reporting Persons and the Issuer entered into a Nomination and Cooperation Agreement, a copy of which is included as Exhibit 99.1 to the Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.    Interest in Securities of the Issuer
   
     The responses to Items 3, 4 and 6 of this Schedule 13D are incorporated herein by reference.
 
     (a) and (b). Set forth below is the beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock of the Issuer for each person named in Item 2. Shares reported as beneficially owned by ValueAct Master Fund are also reported as beneficially owned by (i) ValueAct Management L.P. as the manager of each such investment partnership, (ii) ValueAct Management LLC, as General Partner of ValueAct Management L.P., (iii) ValueAct Holdings, as the majority owner of the membership interests of VA Partners I, (iv) ValueAct Holdings II, as the sole owner of the limited partnership interests of ValueAct Management L.P. and the membership interests of ValueAct Management LLC, and (v) ValueAct Holdings GP, as General Partner of ValueAct Holdings and ValueAct Holdings II.  Shares reported as beneficially owned by ValueAct Master Fund are also reported as beneficially owned by VA Partners I, as General Partner of ValueAct Master Fund.  VA Partners I, ValueAct Management L.P., ValueAct Management LLC, ValueAct Holdings, ValueAct Holdings II, and ValueAct Holdings GP also, directly or indirectly, may own interests in one or more than one of the partnerships from time to time. Unless otherwise indicated below, by reason of such relationship ValueAct Master Fund is reported as having shared power to vote or to direct the vote, and shared power to dispose or direct the disposition of, such shares of Common Stock, with VA Partners I (only with respect to ValueAct Master Fund), ValueAct Management L.P., ValueAct Management LLC, ValueAct Holdings, ValueAct Holdings II, and ValueAct Holdings GP.

     As of the date hereof, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 21,547,746 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 7.1% of the Issuer's outstanding Common Stock. All percentages set forth in this Schedule 13D are based upon the Issuer's reported 304,292,579 outstanding shares of Common Stock as of July 30, 2020 as reported in the Issuer's Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2020.

     (c), (d) and (e)  Not applicable.

Item 6.     Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

     The information set forth in Item 4 above is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 6.

     Other than as described elsewhere in this Report and as previously reported, the Reporting Persons have no understandings, arrangements, relationships or contracts relating to the Issuer's Common Stock which are required to be described hereunder.

Item 7.    Material to be Filed as Exhibits

(1)  Issuer's Current Report on Form 8-K dated August 14, 2020.

(2)  Nomination and Cooperation Agreement, dated August 11, 2020, by and among LKQ Corporation and the persons and entities listed on Schedule A thereto (incorporated by reference from Exhibit 99.1 to the Issuer's Current Report on Form 8-K dated August 14, 2020).

(3)  Press Release, dated August 12, 2020 (incorporated by reference from Exhibit 99.2 to the Issuer's Current Report on Form 8-K dated August 14, 2020).
