    Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

    On January 24, 2025, Cars.com Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Dealer Club Inc. (“DealerClub”) (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) consisting of approximately $25.0 million in cash at closing (the “Initial Payment”), subject to adjustment as set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement, and additional earn-out payments of up to $88.0 million, subject to the satisfaction of certain milestones and conditions set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Earn-Out Payments”) for an aggregate purchase price of up to $113.0 million. The Earn-Out Payments may be payable in the form of cash or, at the Company’s election and with the consent of the sellers, shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Shares”), or a mixture of cash and Shares. 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 issuance of Shares, if any, in connection with the acquisition of DealerClub will be made in accordance with terms and subject to

    the conditions set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement and in reliance on the private offering exemption of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and or the private offering safe harbor provision of Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. Any issuance and sale of the Shares will not be made in connection with a public offering, and no public solicitation or advertisement will be made or relied upon in connection with the issuance of the Shares.
     

    The information furnished in this 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 under that section, nor shall it be deemed to be incorporated by reference in any filing made by the Company under the Securities Act, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as otherwise expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

     

    Forward-Looking Statements

     

    This report contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. All statements other than statements of historical facts are forward-looking statements. These statements often use words such as “believe,” “expect,” “project,” “anticipate,” “outlook,” “intend,” “strategy,” “plan,” “estimate,” “target,” “seek,” “will,” “may,” “would,” “should,” “could,” “forecasts,” “mission,” “strive,” “more,” “goal” or similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations, beliefs, strategies, estimates, projections and assumptions, experience in the industry as well as our perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments, and other factors we think are appropriate. Such forward-looking statements are based on estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by the Company and its management based on their knowledge and understanding of the business and industry, are inherently uncertain. While the Company and its management make such statements in good faith and believe such judgments are reasonable, you should understand that these statements are not guarantees of future strategic action, performance or results. Our actual results, performance, achievements, strategic actions or prospects could differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Given these uncertainties, you should not rely on forward-looking statements in making investment decisions. When we make comparisons of results between current and prior periods, we do not intend to express any future trends, or indications of future performance, unless expressed as such, and you should view such comparisons as historical data. Whether or not any such forward-looking statement is in fact achieved will depend on future events, some of which are beyond our control.

     

    Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and other important factors, many of which are beyond our control, that could cause our actual results and strategic actions to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements contained in this report. For a detailed discussion of many of these and other risks and uncertainties, see “Part I, Item 1A., Risk Factors” and “Part II, Item 7., Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 22, 2024 and our other filings filed with the SEC and available on our website at investor.cars.com or via EDGAR at www.sec.gov.

    You should evaluate all forward-looking statements made in this report in the context of these risks and uncertainties. The forward-looking statements contained in this report are based only on information currently available to us and speak only as of the date of this report. We undertake no obligation, other than as may be required by law, to update or revise any forward looking or cautionary statements to reflect changes in assumptions, the occurrence of events, unanticipated or otherwise, or changes in future operating results over time or otherwise. The forward-looking statements in this report are intended to be subject to the safe harbor protection provided by the federal securities laws.
