DriveTime, which could compete more directly with us in the future. Furthermore, there can be no assurances that DriveTime will enter into any new agreements, arrangements, extensions or renewals
of existing agreements or arrangements with us on the same or similar terms, or at all. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that none of the Garcia Parties or any director who is not employed by us (including any
non-employee
director who serves as one of our officers in both his or her director and officer capacities) or his or her affiliates has any duty to refrain from engaging, directly or indirectly, in the same
business activities or similar business activities or lines of business in which we operate. The Garcia Parties also may pursue acquisition opportunities that may otherwise be complementary to our business, and, as a result, those acquisition
opportunities may not be available to us.
For a description of the dual class structure, see the section Description of
Capital Stock in the accompanying prospectus.
You may be diluted by future issuances of additional Class A common
stock or LLC Units in connection with our incentive plans, acquisitions or otherwise, and future sales of such shares in the public market, or the expectations that such sales may occur, could lower our stock price.
We may issue additional shares of Class A common stock in several ways:
By the Board
. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation authorizes us to issue shares of our Class A common stock
and options, rights, warrants and appreciation rights relating to our Class A common stock or the consideration of and on the terms and conditions established by our Board in its sole discretion, whether in connection with acquisitions or
otherwise.
Under the Exchange Agreement with our LLC Unitholders
. LLC Unitholders may require Carvana Group to redeem
all or a portion of their LLC Units in exchange for, at our election, (1) a cash payment by Carvana Group or (2) newly issued shares of Class A common stock, in each case in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Exchange
Agreement. The LLC Operating Agreement authorizes Carvana Group to issue additional LLC Units whether in connection with an acquisition or otherwise. We have entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with certain LLC Unitholders that would
require us to register shares issued to them, and we may enter into similar agreements in the future. For more information with respect to the Exchange Agreement, see Organizational StructureExchange Agreement in the accompanying
prospectus.
Under the
2017 Incentive Plan
. We have reserved 14.0 million shares of Class A common
stock for issuance under the 2017 Incentive Plan. As of May 16, 2019 we have granted 1.3 million restricted stock awards and units and options to purchase 1.0 million shares of Class A common stock to certain consultants, directors and
employees. After considering the granted and forfeited awards, we have 10.9 million shares of Class A common stock available for future issuance under our 2017 Incentive Plan as of May 16, 2019.
Any stock that we issue or exchange would dilute the percentage ownership held by the investors who purchase Class A common stock.
The market price of shares of our Class A common stock could decline as a result of newly issued or exchanged stock, or the perception that we might issue or exchange stock. A decline in the price of our Class A common stock might impede
our ability to raise capital through the issuance of additional shares of Class A common stock or other equity securities.
We and our executive officers and directors and certain of our LLC Unitholders, including the Garcia Parties, subject to certain
exceptions, have agreed that, without the prior written consent of Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, on behalf of the underwriters, we and they will not, during the period ending 75 days after the date of this prospectus (1) offer, pledge, sell,
contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Class A common
stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Class A common stock; or (2) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences
