Consists of 780,294 shares of Class A Common Stock of the Issuer issuable upon conversion of 14,053,096 shares of Preferred Stock of the Issuer held by Carvana Group, LLC, as calculated pursuant to the Issuer’s Certificate delivered in connection with the Reverse Stock Split, and for which Carvana Co. may be deemed to be the beneficial owner.

**

Based on 8,948,817 shares of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding as of August 23, 2022, as calculated pursuant to the Issuer’s Certificate, plus the 780,294 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock held by Carvana Group, LLC. Represents 5.2% of the aggregate number of issued and outstanding shares of the Issuer’s Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock as of August 23, 2022, as calculated pursuant to the Issuer’s Certificate, plus the 780,294 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock held by Carvana Group, LLC.


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.

This Amendment (“Amendment No. 1”) amends the Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on October 12, 2021, (the “Original Schedule 13D”) relating to the Issuer, with respect to the Common Stock of the Issuer. Except as set forth herein, the Original Schedule 13D is unmodified and remains in full force and effect. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined in this Amendment No. 1 have the meanings set forth in the Original Schedule 13D.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

The information set forth in Item 5 of the Original Schedule 13D is amended as follows:

The information relating to the beneficial ownership of the Issuer’s Common Stock by each of the Reporting Persons set forth in Rows 7 through 13 of the cover pages hereto is incorporated by reference herein and is as of the date hereof.

On August 12, 2022, the Issuer effected a reverse stock split of its Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock at a ratio of 18:1, whereby each 18 shares of the Issuer’s Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock were automatically combined into one share of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, respectively (the “Reverse Stock Split”).

The Reporting Persons beneficially own 14,053,096 shares of Preferred Stock, which are convertible into 780,294 shares of Class A Common Stock, after adjusting for the Reverse Stock Split. The Preferred Stock has an initial liquidation value of $9.00 per share plus the amount of any accrued but unpaid dividends thereon as of such date.

This Amendment No. 1 is being filed to reflect a change in the percentage previously reported solely as a result of the change in the outstanding Common Stock reported by the Issuer, as of August 23, 2022, in the Issuer’s Certificate delivered on August 23, 2022 in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. The Reporting Person has no other material changes to the information previously reported or transactions within the prior 60 days to disclose. Neither the filing of this Amendment No. 1 nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission by any of the Reporting Persons that such person is the beneficial owner of any of the shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock referred to herein for purposes of the Act, or for any other purpose.

Item 7. Material to Be Filed as Exhibits

 

Exhibit    Description
Exhibit 99.1    Joint Filing Agreement, dated as of October  11, 2021 among the Reporting Persons and incorporated by reference to the Original Schedule 13D filed on such date by the Reporting Persons.


Signature

After reasonable inquiry and to the best of the undersigned’s knowledge and belief, each of the undersigned certifies that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
