4 4 Strictly Confidential Subject to FRE 408 Draft - Subject to Material Revision Business Model Transition ▪ In October 2020, Shift Technologies, Inc., (“Shift” or “the Company”) completed its de - spac transaction, positioning itself as an end - to - end auto ecommerce platform with a goal of transforming the used car industry through a technology - driven experience ▪ The Company aimed to provide digital solutions on a national basis throughout the car ownership lifecycle by operating platfo rms that allowed customers to: – Find the right car and test drive the vehicle before purchasing the vehicle – Access a seamless digitally - driven purchase transaction including financing and vehicle products – Utilize the Company’s efficient, digital trade - in/sale transaction, and be provided with high - value support services during ownership ▪ The Company significantly invested in its preexisting technology platforms, as well as centralized focus on finding new ways to expand via technology investment in an attempt to drive growth through volume and presence ▪ In December 2022, Shift merged with CarLotz in order to leverage the Company’s presence and dealer marketplace platform on the East Coast through a new omnichannel experience rather than the previous sole technology platform ▪ As Shift’s continued use of cash progressed, along with the capital markets no longer providing capital to fund unprofitable gro wth, it became apparent that the Company was no longer in a position to continue to invest in its ecommerce platform as it would t ake years to build its infrastructure to effectively compete at scale with the likes of Carvana and Vroom, whom were and are havi ng their own liquidity and operational challenges not dissimilar from Shift – To optimize its operations, the Company hired a successful dealership industry veteran, Ayman Moussa, as CEO on June 9, 2023 – With his expertise, the Company decided to pivot entirely to a dealership model focused on profitable growth, additionally th e dealership model has the benefit of being less capital intensive compared to the investment necessary to scale the ecommerce business model ▪ Ayman has implemented a number of measures to enhance revenue and operating efficiencies

Strictly Confidential Subject to FRE 408 Draft - Subject to Material Revision 2. Business Plan Update

 

 

7 7 Strictly Confidential Subject to FRE 408 Draft - Subject to Material Revision Previous Business Plan Compared to Current Plan Current Business Plan Previous Business Plan – Two : (1) Los Angeles and (2) Oakland – Closed unprofitable Portland, Oregon location resulting in significant cost savings – Three : (1) Los Angeles, (2) Oakland and (3) Portland, Oregon Number of Locations – $4,236 – Focus on cars with lower miles (<80k) resulting in ability to upsell F&I – Reduce reconditioning costs and time in shop by almost half – $3,950 2024E GPU – Profit center – Breakeven Wholesale Strategy – $0.5 million – Rationalize technology spend – $16.0 million 2024E Technology Spend ( Opex ) – $0.5 million (for new incremental location) – $2.3 million 2024E Capex ▪ As Ayman has spent more time analyzing Shift’s business, he has identified additional opportunities to increase the Company’s profitability, cut costs and decrease the need for additional capital ▪ The changes to the previous business plan presented to the Noteholders are summarized in the table below

 

 

8 8 Strictly Confidential Subject to FRE 408 Draft - Subject to Material Revision Current Business Plan Cost Savings Initiatives Rationale Difference 2024E 2023E – Focus on selling cars with less miles resulting in upselling of F&I – Turn wholesale business into a profit center – Omni GPU increase from $1,800 to $4,236 – $34.9 million increase ($14.4 million attributed to volume and $20.5 million due to purchasing and attachment rate of products) – $46.8 million – 15.6% of revenue – $12.0 million – 7.1% of revenue Gross Profit – Close Portland location – Move Oakland facility to improved location but with better lease terms – $1.6 million decrease – $23.9 million – 7.9% of revenue – $25.5 million – 15.1% of revenue Selling – Decrease customer acquisition cost from $1,497 to $400 – Focus on allocating advertising more efficiently in local channels rather than nationally – $5.5 million decrease – $4.4 million – 1.5% of revenue – $9.9 million – 5.9% of revenue Marketing – Reduction in payroll for RIF implemented in Jul. & Sep. 2023 – Reduction of technology spend – Closure of Portland facility – $30.4 million decrease – $11.9 million – 4.0% of revenue – $42.3 million – 25.0% of revenue G&A – $72.3 million increase – $6.6 million – ($65.8 million) EBITDA – Reduction in capitalized IT spend – $3.3 million decrease – $0.5 million – 0.2% of revenue – $3.8 million – 2.2% of revenue Capex

 

 

9 9 Strictly Confidential Subject to FRE 408 Draft - Subject to Material Revision Source: Company provided forecast. 2023 - 2024 Updated Operating Assumptions ▪ The revised operating assumptions include: – Shift files a pre - arranged plan under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code – Significant ramp in units sold beginning in 2024, with increased inventory acquisition and improved sales conversion – Closure of the Portland, Oregon location which never achieved profitability; having this location open was inefficient with respect to marketing dollars – Move Oakland operations to new, improved location with favorable lease terms – Higher GPU due to new leadership; major initiatives including transforming wholesale operation into a profit center and significant growth in F&I from improved training, revised compensation structures and addition of new products – Repositioning retail to focus on cars with fewer than 80k miles • Company was incurring reconditioning costs of over $1,500 per vehicle and 14 day time frame to complete the work, which is nearly double the standard industry cost; resulted in a longer time in inventory and lower margin per vehicle sold • Lower mileage vehicles present greater opportunities for ancillary revenue streams attached to sales (F&I, etc ) • Higher mileage cars can still generate margin for the Company, but will be confined to the wholesale channel • Salespeople were incentivized to sell at high volumes, at the expense of margin, with little customer - facing time that limited sales of ancillary products – Rationalization of technology spend from over $16 million per year to ~$0.5 million per year using an off - the - shelf solution managed by a smaller in - house tech team more in line with the focus of the operation – Reduction in annual capital expenditures of ~$3 million per year

 

 

10 10 Strictly Confidential Subject to FRE 408 Draft - Subject to Material Revision Source: Company provided forecast. 2023 - 2024 Updated Operating Assumptions (Cont.) ▪ As Ayman spent more time with the Company, he revised the operating plan and the Company expects the remainder of 2023E and full year 2024E SG&A expenses to decrease by ~$3 million and ~$29 million, respectively, compared to Shift’s previous plan; t he Company expects to achieve these savings due to the closure of the Portland, Oregon location as well as Ayman identifying cos t savings opportunities in its selling, marketing, technology and G&A budgets where Shift was previously spending inefficiently – 2024E Selling expense reduction of $7 million – 2024E Marketing expense reduction of $6 million – 2024E G&A expense reduction of $17 million ▪ The closure of Portland reduces revenue and spreads fixed sales and G&A costs over a smaller revenue base in the short term, but sets the Company up for more profitable growth as it scales in the future ▪ This scenario results in improved cash flow, but a $18 million DIP loan will be necessary to fund the pre - arranged plan and futu re growth of the business; proposed terms of the DIP loan include – SOFR + 11.0% and 2% commitment fee – To be funded in two tranches – DIP Loan to convert to PIK preferred equity or common equity (lender’s option) upon emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy ▪ It was determined the quantity of unprofitable inventory was greater than originally expected, due to ineffective inventory management systems that were geared to an online operation at scale rather than an traditional used car dealership network; n ew management is replacing the expensive and ineffective systems with industry standard solutions ▪ Risks to achieving operating plan include: – Recession, leading to lower unit sales – Continued interest rate hikes – Loss of access to floor plan financing – Cash savings taking longer to materialize than expected
