Pursuant to the Fifth Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Carvana Group, LLC and an Exchange Agreement that the holders of Class A Units entered into with the Issuer, the Reporting Person is entitled from time to time at his option to exchange Class A Units (together with shares of his Class B Common Stock), for shares of Class A Common Stock on a five-to-four basis (or, at the Issuer’s discretion, for cash).

Each of the percentages referenced in this Statement are calculated based on 105,947,745 shares of the Issuer’s Class A Common Stock outstanding as of October 31, 2022, as reported in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on November 3, 2022, as increased by (i) 109,046 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable in respect of 109,046 Options, (ii) 1,461 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon vesting and settlement of RSUs, and (iii) 27,450,547 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable in respect of 34,313,184 Class A Units (and 27,450,547 shares of Class B Common Stock) (the "Calculation Method").

The 30,118,272 reported securities are held as follows:

Ernest C. Garcia, III directly holds (a) 757,218 shares of Class A Common Stock, (b) 1,461 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon vesting and settlement of RSUs that will have vested within 60 days of December 31, 2022, inclusive of shares to be withheld for tax purposes, (c) 109,046 Options, including those that will have vested within 60 days of December 31, 2022, to purchase an equal number of shares of Class A Common Stock, and (d) 4,580,658 Class A Units and 3,664,526 shares of Class B Common Stock, exchangeable for 3,664,526 shares of Class A Common Stock, together representing 3.39% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock based on the Calculation Method.

Ernest Irrevocable 2004 Trust III holds (a) 850,000 shares of Class A Common Stock and (b) 14,792,526 Class A Units and 11,834,021 shares of Class B Common Stock, exchangeable for 11,834,021 shares of Class A Common Stock, together representing 9.50% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock based on the Calculation Method.

Ernest C. Garcia III Multi-Generational Trust III holds (a) 950,000 shares of Class A Common Stock and (b) 14,940,000 Class A Units and 11,952,000 shares of Class B Common Stock, exchangeable for 11,952,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, together representing 9.66% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock based on the Calculation Method.

The Reporting Person is the Co-Administrative Trustee and Co-Investment Trustee of both Ernest Irrevocable 2004 Trust III and Ernest C. Garcia III Multi-Generational Trust III (each, a “Trust”) and therefore shares voting and dispositive power with respect to the securities held directly by each Trust. As such, the Reporting Person has or shares voting and dispositive power with respect to the aggregate 30,118,272 shares of Class A Common Stock reported herein, representing 22.56% of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock. Such amount includes in the outstanding shares for purposes of the Calculation Method 27,561,054 shares issuable upon exercise of Options, settlement of RSUs and conversion of Class A Units. If such corrections were taken into account in the Schedule 13G/A filed on February 14, 2022, the aggregate beneficial ownership would have been 24.95% and such amount is deemed amended and corrected.

The filing of this Statement shall not be construed as an admission that the Reporting Person or either Trust is, for the purpose of Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Exchange Act, the beneficial owner of any securities covered by this Statement.
