Explanatory Note

 

This Amendment No. 2 (this “Amendment No. 2”) amends and supplements the beneficial ownership statement on Schedule 13D originally filed on February 2, 2021 (the “Original Statement”), as amended by Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment No. 1”) filed on August 16, 2022 (“Amendment No. 1”), on behalf of (i) TRP Capital Partners, LP, a Delaware partnership, and (ii) TRP Capital Management, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. Each of the foregoing is hereinafter individually referred to as a “Reporting Person” and collectively as the “Reporting Persons”. The Original Statement, as amended by Amendment No. 1 and this Amendment No. 2 (the “Schedule 13D”), relates to the Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A common Stock”), of CarLotz, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”).

 

This Amendment No. 2 is being filed as a result of the disposition of the Reporting Persons’ Class A common stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

 

Capitalized terms used herein but not defined shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Original Statement. This Amendment No. 2 amends the Original Statement as specifically set forth herein. Except as set forth on the cover pages hereto and as set forth below, all previous Items in the Original Statement remain unchanged.

 

Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction.

 

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented to include the following:

 

On December 9, 2022, the Issuer completed the previously announced transaction with Shift Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Shift”), pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of August 9, 2022 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Shift, Shift Remarketing Operations, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Shift (“Merger Sub”), and the Issuer. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into the Issuer, with the Issuer continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Shift (the “Merger”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, each outstanding share of Class A common stock was converted into the right to receive 0.705241 of a share of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Shift (“Shift Common Stock”), rounded up to the nearest whole share for any fractional shares of Shift Common Stock. At the effective time of the Merger, Steven G. Carrel and David R. Mitchell resigned as directors of the Issuer.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented to include the following:

 

As a result of the events described in Item 4 (which Item 4 is incorporated herein by reference), as of December 9, 2022, the Reporting Persons do not own any shares of Class A common stock. Therefore, the Reporting Persons ceased to be the beneficial owners of more than 5% of the Class A common stock. Consequently, this Amendment No. 2 constitutes an exit filing for the Reporting Persons.
