DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

CarLotz, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), is filing these Post-Effective Amendments to each of the following Registration Statements on Form S-8 (collectively, the “Prior Registration Statements”) to terminate all offerings under the Prior Registration Statements filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and to deregister any and all shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (“Company Common Stock”) that remain unsold as of the date hereof, together with any and all other securities registered but unsold as of the date hereof thereunder:

On December 9, 2022, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated August 9, 2022 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Shift Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), Shift Remarketing Operations, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and the Company, Merger Sub merged with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”), and each outstanding share of Company Common Stock (other than Company Common Stock owned or held in treasury by the Company, which was cancelled for no consideration) was converted into the right to receive 0.705241 of a share (the “Exchange Ratio”) of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Parent (“Parent Common Stock”), rounded up to the nearest whole share for any fractional shares of Parent Common Stock that would have been issued to any stockholder resulting from the calculation (the “Merger Consideration”). At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), (i) each vested time-based and performance-based restricted stock unit award (including any such awards that vest at the Effective Time) were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in respect of each underlying share of Company Common Stock, less applicable tax withholding, and (ii) each other restricted stock unit award was assumed by Parent and converted into an award relating to Parent Common Stock, with appropriate adjustments to the numbers of shares and share price thresholds to reflect the Exchange Ratio, in each case in accordance with the terms set forth the Merger Agreement. In addition, at the Effective Time each option to purchase Company Common Stock and warrant to purchase Company Common Stock was assumed by Parent and converted into an option or warrant, as the case may be, to purchase Parent Common Stock, in each case with appropriate adjustments to the numbers of shares and exercise prices to reflect the Exchange Ratio, in accordance with the terms set forth in the Merger Agreement.

In connection with the Merger, the Company has terminated all offerings of the Company’s securities pursuant to the Prior Registration Statements. In accordance with undertakings made by the Company in the Prior Registration Statements to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the securities that had been registered for issuance that remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Company hereby removes from registration all such securities of the Company registered but not sold or otherwise issued under the Prior Registration Statements, if any, as of the date hereof. The Prior Registration Statements are hereby amended, as appropriate, to reflect the deregistration of such securities, and the Company hereby terminates the effectiveness of the Prior Registration Statements and their respective amendments.
