Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 3, 2024, Carvana Co. (the “Company”) determined that the Amended and Restated Section 382 Rights Agreement (the “Tax Asset Preservation Plan”), dated as of July 18, 2023, by and between the Company and Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, as successor in interest to American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, a New York limited liability trust company, as rights agent, is no longer necessary for the preservation of material valuable Tax Attributes (as defined therein) and set a Final Expiration Date under the Tax Asset Preservation Plan of June 4, 2024. As a result, the rights under the Tax Asset Preservation Plan expired and the Tax Asset Preservation Plan terminated at the close of business on June 4, 2024.

The information set forth under Item 1.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated into this Item 3.03 by reference.

In connection with the termination of the Tax Asset Preservation Plan, the Company filed a Certificate of Elimination with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on June 5, 2024, eliminating and returning to authorized but undesignated shares, its shares of Series B Preferred Stock. The Certificate of Elimination eliminated all provisions in the Certificate of Designations of Series B Preferred Stock previously filed by the Company with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on January 17, 2023, which had set forth the rights, powers and preferences of the Series B Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of the rights under the Tax Asset Preservation Plan.

The foregoing is a summary of the terms of the Certificate of Elimination. The summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Certificate of Elimination, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 3.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
