     This Amendment No. 3 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

     The responses to Items 5 and 6 of the Schedule 13D are incorporated herein by reference.
 
     On November 17, 2021, the Issuer entered into a Stock Repurchase Agreement (the "Repurchase Agreement") with ValueAct Master Fund to repurchase 4,000,000 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock, for $57.2785 per share for the aggregate purchase price of $229,114,000 in a privately negotiated transaction (the "Repurchase Transaction"). The Repurchase Transaction is expected to close on or about November 22, 2021, subject to customary closing conditions.

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 17,550,411 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 6.1% of the Issuer's outstanding Common Stock. All percentages set forth in this Schedule 13D are based upon 287,491,183 outstanding shares of Common Stock, which is based on the Issuer's reported 291,491,183 outstanding shares of Common Stock as of October 29, 2021 as reported in the Issuer's Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2021 less the Common Stock acquired by the Issuer pursuant to the Repurchase Transaction.    

     (c) Except for the Repurchase Transaction described in Item 4, there were no transactions with respect to shares of Common Stock effected in the previous sixty days to this Schedule 13D by the Reporting Persons, inclusive of any transactions effected through 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on November 18, 2021. The disclosure regarding the Repurchase Transaction in Item 4 is incorporated herein by reference.
    
     (d) and (e)  Not applicable.

Item 6.     Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer
    
     The responses to Items 4 and 5 of the Schedule 13D are incorporated herein by reference.

     On November 17, 2021, the Issuer entered into the Repurchase Agreement with ValueAct Master Fund to repurchase 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock, for $57.2785 per share for the aggregate purchase price of $229,114,000 in a privately negotiated transaction.

     The foregoing description of the Repurchase Agreement does not purport to be complete.

Item 7.    Material to be Filed as Exhibits

(1)  Joint Filing Agreement.
