Item 2.05. Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

On July 11, 2023, Shift Technologies, Inc. (the “Company,” “Shift,” “we” or “us”) announced a plan to restructure and reduce the Company’s workforce (the “Restructuring Plan”), pursuant to which the Company will focus all resources on its omnichannel used auto operations and cease investment into the Company’s dealer marketplace business. The Restructuring Plan is part of the Company’s broader efforts to improve cost efficiency and better align its operating structure with its omnichannel sales operations as the Company continues to evaluate strategic alternatives to maximize stockholder value. The Restructuring Plan will result in an estimated workforce reduction of approximately 34%. The Company expects the Restructuring Plan and associated workforce reduction will be substantially completed by July 11, 2023.

The Company expects to incur charges related to the Restructuring Plan and associated workforce reduction. As a result of the Restructuring Plan and associated workforce reduction, we expect to incur approximately $900,000 in non-recurring restructuring charges, consisting primarily of one-time cash severance payments and related costs. The Company has not yet completed its analysis of additional charges associated with implementation of the Restructuring Plan and associated workforce reduction, and therefore is not able to make a good faith determination of an estimate of the amount, or range of amounts, of any additional charges such as contract termination costs. The Company will provide additional disclosure through an amendment to this Current Report on Form 8-K once it makes a determination of an estimate or range of estimates of such charges, if any.

The charges that the Company expects to incur are subject to a number of assumptions, and actual expenses may differ materially from the estimates disclosed above.

The Company’s previously announced review of strategic alternatives by its Board of Directors, management team, and advisors remains ongoing.

Item 2.06 Material Impairments.

To the extent required, the information contained in Item 2.05 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference herein.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

On July 11, 2023, the Company issued a press release in connection with the Restructuring Plan. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

The information set forth in Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K such as “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “estimate,” “plan,” “intend,” “should,” “would,” “could,” “may,” “might,” “will” and variations of such words and similar future or conditional expressions, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements related to the Company’s expectations related to the Restructuring Plan and the associated workforce reduction. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future results and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and beyond our control. Important assumptions and other important factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, a material delay in consummating the Restructuring Plan, the Company may incur additional costs not currently contemplated or that the savings may be less than anticipated, the risk that the Company’s Restructuring Plan and associated workforce reduction may negatively impact the Company’s business operations and reputation, the Company’s ability to recruit and retain key management and employees, and those additional risks, uncertainties and factors described in more detail in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) from time to time, including under the caption “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 (including any amendments thereto), and in the Company’s other filings with the SEC (including any amendments thereto). The Company disclaims any obligation or undertaking to update, supplement or revise any forward-looking statements contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K except as required by applicable law or regulation. Given these risks and uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof.

The foregoing description of the Second Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Second Amendment, which is filed hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

Clementz Transition and Separation Agreement

As previously announced on June 14, 2023, Shift Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) implemented an executive leadership succession plan in connection with the transition of Jeff Clementz from the Company as its Chief Executive Officer, effective June 9, 2023 (the “Transition Effective Date”). Mr. Clementz also resigned from the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company on the Transition Effective Date. In order to ensure an orderly transition of responsibilities, Mr. Clementz continued to be employed in a non-executive capacity with the Company through July 1, 2023 (the “Separation Date”).

In connection with his transition from employment with the Company, the Company and Mr. Clementz entered into a Transition and Separation Agreement (the “Agreement”) on July 21, 2023 that reflects the terms of his transition and the benefits he is eligible to receive. The Agreement becomes effective and enforceable on July 29, 2023 (the “Effective Date”) unless revoked in writing by Mr. Clementz prior to the Effective Date. Pursuant to the Agreement, and in lieu of all severance benefits otherwise provided for under Mr. Clementz’s prior employment agreement with the Company, Mr. Clementz will be entitled to receive the following benefits: (i) a cash payment equal to $400,000, payable in a single lump sum within thirty (30) days following the Effective Date, (ii) payment of his 2023 annual bonus (if any), prorated for the number of days employed by the Company in 2023 and determined based on actual performance (with any personal goals considered to be fulfilled), and payable at such time that annual bonuses are otherwise generally paid to employees of the Company and (iii) payment of COBRA premiums for eighteen (18) months following the Separation Date (to the extent Mr. Clementz elects COBRA continuation coverage), less amounts equal to the amount active employees pay for such coverage during such time period, and subject to reduction or elimination if Mr. Clementz becomes entitled to duplicative benefits through other employment. The Agreement also provides that Mr. Clementz will make himself available to members of the Company’s senior management team through August 31, 2023 (the “Transition Period”).

In addition, the Agreement contains a general waiver and release of claims by Mr. Clementz in favor of the Company. Mr. Clementz will be subject to certain restrictive covenants following his termination of employment with the Company, including during the Transition Period.

Mr. Clementz’s transition is not the result of any disagreements over the Company’s business, operations, or strategic direction.

The foregoing description of the Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such Agreement, a copy of which is filed hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
