EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (“Form 10-K/A”) is being filed by PARTS iD, Inc. (“PARTS iD” or the “Company”) in order to disclose information required by Items 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 of Part III of Form 10-K, which information was previously omitted from PARTS iD’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 (“2022 Original Form 10-K”) in reliance on Instruction G to Form 10-K . The 2022 Original Form 10-K was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 17, 2023.

PARTS iD has elected to postpone its 2023 annual meeting of stockholders until later in 2023. As a result, PARTS iD will not be filing its definitive proxy statement for the 2023 annual stockholders’ meeting within 120 days of the end of its most recent fiscal year (as required under Instruction G to Form 10-K). Therefore, PARTS iD is filing this Form 10-K/A in order to incorporate information that would have been contained in the definitive proxy statement into the 2022 Original Form 10-K. PARTS iD is also filing as Exhibits to the Form 10-K/A certifications with respect to this filing by its principal executive officer and principal financial officer pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002; accordingly, Item 15 of Part IV has also been amended to reflect the filing of these new exhibits. Because no financial statements are being filed in this Form 10-K/A, and this Form 10-K/A does not contain or amend any disclosure with respect to Items 307 and 308 of Regulation S-K, paragraphs 3, 4 and 5 of the certifications have been omitted. PARTS iD is also not including the certifications required under Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, since no financial statements are being filed with this Form 10-K/A.

This Form 10-K/A is limited in scope to the items identified above and should be read in conjunction with the 2022 Original Form 10-K and PARTS iD’s other filings with the SEC. This Form 10-K/A does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the 2022 Original Form 10-K or modify or update those disclosures affected by subsequent events. Consequently, all other information is unchanged and reflects the disclosures made at the time of the filing of the 2022 Original Form 10-K.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Directors or Executive Officers as Parties Adverse to the Company

The following are material proceedings to which certain of our directors or executive officers is a party adverse to, or has a material interest adverse to, the Company or its subsidiaries.

The Company (i) has been named as a defendant in Stanislav Royzenshteyn and Roman Gerashenko v. Prashant Pathak, Carey Kurtin, Ekagrata, Inc., Onyx Enterprises Canada Inc., Onyx Enterprises Int’l Corp. (“Onyx”), In Colour Capital, Inc., J. William Kurtin, (ii) has been named as a nominal defendant in Onyx Enterprises Canada Inc. v. Stanislav Royzenshteyn and Roman Gerashenko and Onyx Enterprises Int’l, Corp., and (iii) has been named as a third-party defendant in Prashant Pathak and Carey Kurtin v. Onyx Enterprises Int’l Corp., all in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Chancery Division, Monmouth County (collectively with all other matters related to the foregoing litigation, the “Stockholder Litigation”). The initial claim, made on February 12, 2018, stemmed from disputes between Stanislav Royzenshteyn and Roman Gerashenko (together, the “Founder Stockholders”) and Onyx Enterprises Canada Inc. and its principals (collectively, the “Investor Stockholder and Principals”) arising from circumstances relating to a 2015 Series A financing in which the Investor Stockholder and Principals participated. The Founder Stockholders allege, among other things, that they agreed to sell their shares in Onyx in reliance upon statements of the Investor Stockholder and Principals that they subsequently would bring additional investors and capital to Onyx and that the Investor Stockholder and Principals fraudulently and intentionally made material misstatements concerning Onyx’s valuation to potential investors. The initial complaint has since been withdrawn and amended multiple times to both defend the initial cause of action and add new causes of action against the Investor Stockholder and Principals; meanwhile, the Investor Stockholder and Principals have sought to dismiss the claim. The Founder Stockholders are seeking legal relief in the form of damages and equitable relief in the form of rescission. The initial claims were expanded to include two orders to show cause, one regarding the Company’s termination of Roman Gerashenko as Chief Executive Officer on December 24, 2018 and the second requesting removal of Kailas Agrawal as the court appointed independent provisional director. The court denied both on January 10, 2019, but Mr. Gerashenko’s employment-related claims were preserved for a potential future action. On February 21, 2019, the Investor Stockholder and Principals filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint, but the court denied that motion.

While the core dispute rests between the Founder Stockholders and the Investor Stockholder and Principals, the Investor Stockholder and Principals have made claims directly against the Company alleging that the Company has an obligation to indemnify certain individuals affiliated with the Investor Stockholder and Principals pursuant to director indemnification agreements signed by the Company and such individuals. On March 13, 2019, the Founder Stockholders requested that the court not grant such relief to the Investor Stockholders and Principals. In addition, the Founder Stockholders tendered a demand for indemnification to the Company arising from certain claims asserted against them by the Investor Stockholder and Principals in the Stockholder Litigation. On December 16, 2020, the disinterested directors of the Board determined that the Founder Stockholders were not entitled to indemnification. Counsel for the Founder Stockholders was informed on December 18, 2020 of the Board’s decision. The Company also filed an answer to the complaint together with defenses to the claims for indemnification and have denied any wrongdoing or liability by the Company. Discovery is closed, but there are several pending discovery issues that remain outstanding.

The Investor Stockholder and Principals filed a motion for summary judgment seeking dismissal of all of the claims brought by the Founder Stockholders, which motion was heard on February 19, 2021. On August 31, 2021, the court issued an order granting in part and denying in part the motion for summary judgment, by which order eight claims were dismissed and seven claims were preserved. Pursuant to the court’s opinion, all of the derivative claims brought by the plaintiffs against the Company were dismissed. The only remaining claim against the Company is the defendants’ claim for indemnification.

At this point in the Stockholder Litigation, with discovery issues outstanding, no opinion can be offered as to the potential outcome of the Stockholder Litigation or as to any potential exposure of the Company to any monetary judgment.

NUMBER AND TERMS OF OFFICE OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS OF THE COMPANY

Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that our Board is divided into two classes, Class I and Class II, with members of each class typically serving staggered two-year terms. However, because we did not hold an Annual Meeting of Stockholders in 2020, due to the timing of when the Business Combination was consummated, both classes of directors were nominated for re-election, and were elected, at our 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, with the three Class I directors elected to serve for a one-year term expiring at our 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and the four Class II directors elected to serve for a two-year term expiring at our 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

Our officers are appointed by the Board and serve at the discretion of the Board, rather than for specific terms of office. Our Board is authorized to appoint persons to the offices set forth in our bylaws as it deems appropriate. Our bylaws provide that our officers may consist of a Chairman of the Board, one or more Chief Executive Officers, Chief Operating Officers, Presidents, Vice Presidents, Secretaries, Treasurers and such other offices as may be determined by the Board.

Compensation and Benefits Philosophy

The Company has designed its compensation and benefits as part of its overall human capital management strategy to facilitate its ability to attract, retain, reward and motivate a high performing executive team. The company’s compensation philosophy is based on a motivational plan to provide pay-for-performance (at both the individual and company levels), to enable the Company’s executive team to achieve the Company’s objectives successfully. The Company’s motivational plan is designed to achieve the following goals:

●	to reward principles that effect the success and accomplishment of the Company’s mission and goals;

●	to attract, motivate and retain a high performing executive team;

●	to recognize and reward individuals whose performance adds significant value to the Company; and

●	to support and encourage executive team performance.

Compensation Elements

In the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company’s executive compensation program consisted of the following elements:

●	base salary;

●	cash incentives;

●	equity-based compensation; and

●

benefits.

The Compensation Committee’s goal has been to set base compensation based upon financial and operating performance, each executive officer’s level of experience, and each executive officer’s current and expected future contributions to its results, in addition to providing competitive benefits. To emphasize the relationship between executive pay and the Company’s performance, the Compensation Committee provided for an annual cash incentive program based on 2022 performance. The Compensation Committee believes that this mix emphasizes performance, further aligning with our stockholders’ interests, and promotes retention.

Role of the Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee reviews and approves the compensation of our executive officers. The Compensation Committee is solely composed of non-management directors, all of whom meet the independence requirements of applicable NYSE American rules.

Executive Compensation Determinations for 2022

Salary

Following the end of 2021, the Compensation Committee reviewed the base salaries of each of the NEOs. The Compensation Committee determined that the base salaries of our NEO’s were appropriate in light of their duties and responsibilities, and therefore the base salaries for each of the NEO’s remained the same for 2022. The 2022 base salaries for each of the NEOs is included in the summary compensation table below.

Annual Incentive Plan

In early 2022, the Compensation Committee approved an annual incentive bonus program for the NEOs that would be earned based: (a) 56% on the achievement on Company organic net revenue (“Organic Net Revenue”); (b) 14% on organic adjusted cash flow (“Organic Adjusted Cash Flow”); and (c) 30% on the assessment of each participant’s individual contribution amount.

The Compensation Committee also established the target percentage by which the base salary of each NEO would be multiplied in order to determine the dollar amount that would be multiplied by the weighted percentage payout level applicable to each NEO following determination of such based on actual performance. The target amount for each NEO is set forth below:

NEO	Target Amount of 2022 Base Salary
Antonino Ciappina		50	%
Kailas Agrawal		30	%
Mark Atwater		30	%

No bonuses will be paid to the NEO’s in 2023 due to the Company’s 2022 financial results.

Equity Awards

A key component of an executive officer’s compensation is equity incentive awards, which are critical to focusing our executives on the Company’s long-term growth and creating stockholder value. The Compensation Committee grants equity awards under the PARTS iD, Inc. 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”).

The Compensation Committee set the following equity targets for the following NEOs:

NEO	Target PSUs
Antonino Ciappina		130,000
Kailas Agrawal		125,000
Mark Atwater		120,000

No performance stock units ("PSUs") were granted to the NEOs in 2023 due to the Company’s 2022 financial results.
