Previous wording

We expect to substantially complete the wind-down activities in the second half of 2025. As a result of the intended wind-down, we expect to incur total expenditures in the range of approximately $14.0 million to $19.0 million, primarily in the second half of 2025. We expect that a significant portion of the cash payments will be made in the second half of 2025, with the remaining paid in the first half of 2026.

Current wording

We expect to substantially complete the wind-down activities by the end of 2025. During the third quarter of 2025 we lowered our estimate of total expenditures associated with the wind-down, inclusive of amounts incurred to date and those expected through completion, to be in the range of $13.0 million to $15.0 million. As of September 30, 2025, we expect remaining cash expenditures to be in the range of $7.0 million to $9.0 million. A significant portion of the cash payments are expected to be paid in the remainder of 2025, with the remaining expected to be paid in the first half of 2026.

Previous wording

The estimates of the charges and costs that we expect to incur, and the timing thereof, are subject to a number of assumptions and actual results may differ materially from those described above due to various factors, many of which are outside of our control, including the outcomes of discussions and negotiations with the counterparties to the contracts we intend to terminate or modify. In addition, we may incur other charges or cash expenditures not currently contemplated due to unanticipated events that may occur as a result of or in connection with the wind down of CarOffer, including the CarOffer Transactions Business.

Previous wording

Our business is affected by general business and economic conditions. The imposition of new or increased tariffs, trade restrictions, trade disputes, or other changes in trade policy or trade regulation by the U.S. or other countries could lead to an economic downturn that may impact our business. For example, purchases of new and used automobiles are typically discretionary for consumers and have been, and may continue to be, affected by negative trends in the economy, including the availability and cost of credit, reductions in business and consumer confidence, recessions, interest rates, inflation, stock market volatility, tariffs or the imposition of new tariffs, trade wars, barriers, or restrictions, or threats of such actions, and increased unemployment. Recent developments in international trade relations, including significant changes in U.S. trade policy and actions which include threatened, new, and increased tariffs on other countries and retaliatory tariffs and actions, if maintained for a sufficient period of time, could result in increased costs to American consumers for automobiles and automobile components produced or assembled in those countries, which could decrease demand for automobiles and negatively impact our business. Additionally, tariffs on steel and aluminum, raw materials used significantly in automobile manufacturing, as well as the tariffs that may be imposed on automobile imports, if maintained for a sufficient period of time, could each have similar negative impacts on the prices of cars, consumer demand, and our business. Any significant change or deterioration in economic conditions could have a material adverse effect on our business, operations, results of operations, and financial condition.

Current wording

During the three months ended September 30, 2025, the following officers adopted a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” (as defined in Item 408 of Regulation S-K) that is intended to satisfy the affirmative defense of Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Exchange Act and our policies on insider trading:

Previous wording

The Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement includes the sale of shares to be received upon future vesting of certain outstanding equity awards, net of any shares withheld by us to satisfy applicable taxes. The number of shares to be withheld, and thus the exact number of shares to be sold pursuant to Ms. Hanson’s Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement, can only be determined upon the occurrence of the future vesting events. For purposes of this disclosure, we have reported the gross number of shares to be received upon the future vesting of such equity awards, before subtracting any shares to be withheld by us to satisfy applicable taxes in connection with such future vesting events.

Current wording

The Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement includes the sale of up to 59,233 shares to be received upon future vesting of certain outstanding equity awards, net of any shares withheld by us to satisfy applicable taxes. The number of shares to be withheld, and thus the exact number of shares to be sold pursuant to Mr. Quinn’s Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement, can only be determined upon the occurrence of the future vesting events. For purposes of this disclosure, we have reported the gross number of shares to be received upon the future vesting of such equity awards, before subtracting any shares to be withheld by us to satisfy applicable taxes in connection with such future vesting events. Furthermore, the Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement provides for the sale of 50% of the net shares that vest on the applicable vesting date. The 10b5-1 trading arrangement also provides for the sale of up to 4,667 shares directly held by Mr. Quinn such that the gross proceeds from their sale is sufficient to raise $25,000 for purposes of a gift to a charitable donor-advised fund.
