CARVANA CO.

The Compensation and Nominating Committee believes that stock-based performance compensation is essential to align the interests of Carvana’s management and its stockholders in enhancing the long-term value of our equity and to encourage executives to remain with the Company. Due to the Compensation and Nominating Committee's focus on long-term growth, the majority of executive compensation is tied to long-term stock price. This structure is reviewed by the Compensation and Nominating Committee annually and may change in the future. Among the varied types of equity awards the Compensation and Nominating Committee is authorized to use under the equity plan, stock options are the ones that the Compensation and Nominating Committee has determined are preferable for use with NEOs, because their value is more leveraged to future value appreciation and depends upon a future increase in the value of our Class A common stock. The committee also has determined that time-based RSU grants to NEOs may be used for the purposes of retention or recognition of outstanding performance in part because RSUs are less volatile than stock options. During 2024, the Company granted stock options and time-based RSUs under the Company's 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan (as amended, the "Plan") as part of its long-term incentive compensation program. In addition, as described in greater detail below, the Company also granted performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”) that vest upon the attainment of specified performance milestones. Because these awards vested or will vest at the time the applicable milestone is achieved, we discuss these awards separately from our long-term incentives.
