Carvana Completes All Equity Capital Requirements of Previously Announced Exchange Offer Transaction Support Agreement

In addition to previously announced $225 million raised in at-the-market offering, Carvana has raised $126 million from the Garcia Parties

Carvana Co. (NYSE: CVNA) (“Carvana” or the “Company”), the fastest growing used car dealer in U.S. history, today announced that it has completed all equity capital requirements of its previously announced exchange offer transaction support agreement, by raising $126 million of equity capital (the “Garcia Equity Transaction”) from existing shareholders Ernest Garcia II and Ernest Garcia III, Carvana’s Chief Executive Officer (the “Garcia Parties”), in a transaction valuing the Company’s Class A common stock at $46.31 per share (the “Equity Value”), an 18% premium to the closing price on August 18, 2023.

“We are pleased to announce that we have successfully fulfilled all equity capital requirements of the exchange offer transaction support agreement in anticipation of closing the transaction in the coming weeks,” said Mark Jenkins, Carvana’s Chief Financial Officer. “We look forward to closing this exchange offer, which will further bolster Carvana’s already strong liquidity position and provide additional financial flexibility as we continue to execute our plan of driving significant profitability and returning to growth.”

The Equity Value of the Garcia Equity Transaction is equal to the volume weighted average price of the Company’s previously announced sale of 4.9 million shares of Class A Common Stock that was completed in a series of sales through July 27, 2023 (the “ATM Equity Transaction”). Taken together, the $225 million ATM Equity Transaction and the $126 million Garcia Equity Transaction fully satisfy the Company’s equity capital obligations pursuant to the exchange offer transaction support agreement (the “TSA”).

The TSA, which was announced on July 19, 2023, provides significant financial flexibility to Carvana including reducing required cash interest expense by more than $430 million each year for the next two years, extending maturities, and lowering total debt outstanding by over $1.2 billion.
