Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement

As previously disclosed, Carvana Co. (the “Company”) entered into that certain Transaction Support Agreement, dated July 17, 2023, pursuant to which, among other things, Ernest Garcia II and Ernest Garcia III (collectively, the “Garcia Parties”), committed to purchase up to $126,000,000 of equity in Carvana Co. or a consolidated subsidiary thereof, subject to certain conditions.

In satisfaction of that commitment, on August 18, 2023, the Company and Carvana Group, LLC (“Carvana Group”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with the Garcia Parties providing for the purchase of an aggregate of 3,400,994 Class A LLC Units ("Class A Units") of Carvana Group, together with 2,720,795 shares of the Company’s Class B Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Class B Common Stock”), at a price equivalent to $46.31 per share of Class A Common Stock of Carvana Co. The offer and sale of these securities closed on August 18, 2023. The Company expects to use the proceeds therefrom to partially fund the previously announced cash tender offer to purchase certain of the Company’s 5.625% senior unsecured notes due 2025. The Securities Purchase Agreement includes customary representations, warranties and covenants of the parties.

Pursuant to the previously disclosed Exchange Agreement, dated April 27, 2017, by and among the Company, Carvana Group, Carvana Co. Sub LLC and the holders of the Class A Units, Class A Units are exchangeable for shares of Class A Common Stock on a five-to-four conversion ratio, together with the number of shares of Class B Common Stock equal to the shares of Class A Common Stock being exchanged for. The per Class A Unit purchase price of $37.048 is equivalent to a purchase price of $46.31 per share of Class A Common Stock on an as-exchanged basis.

The foregoing description is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Securities Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

The information contained in item 1.01 above is incorporated herein by reference. The offer and sale of the Class A Units and Class B Common Stock were exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Garcia Parties represented to the Company that they are “accredited investors” as defined in Rule 501 of the Securities Act and that the securities were acquired for investment purposes and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution thereof.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

A copy of the press release announcing the Securities Purchase Agreement described above is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

The information furnished pursuant to Item 7.01 of this Form 8-K shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any other filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
