Schedule 13D
CUSIP No.: G2007L204
Page 9 of 11 Pages
EXPLANATORY NOTE

Pursuant to Rule 13d-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, this Amendment No. 5 to the Schedule 13D (“Amendment No. 5”) amends certain items of the Schedule 13D filed with the Commission on September 19, 2022, as amended and supplemented by Amendment No. 1 filed with the Commission on November 10, 2022, Amendment No. 2 filed with the Commission on February 27, 2023, Amendment No. 3 filed with the Commission on March 21, 2023, and Amendment No. 4 filed with the Commission on April 27, 2023 (collectively, the “Schedule 13D”), relating to the Class A Ordinary Shares, par value $0.002 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”), of Cazoo Group Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Issuer”).  All capitalized terms contained herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D.

Item 4.
Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

On May 12, 2023, the Reporting Persons and certain other Parties to the Cooperation Agreement submitted to the board of directors of the Issuer, for discussion purposes, an indicative proposal outlining a potential restructuring of the Notes and certain other potential changes to the Issuer’s capital structure (the “Indicative Proposal”).  The Indicative Proposal contemplates that the Issuer’s outstanding $630 million principal amount of Notes would be exchanged for a combination of newly issued Ordinary Shares and newly issued senior secured notes with a lesser principal amount than the Notes so exchanged, thereby reducing the Issuer’s outstanding indebtedness and resulting in the holders of the Notes holding a substantial percentage of the Ordinary Shares outstanding following the exchange.  The Indicative Proposal also contemplates (i) that the Issuer would issue new warrants to the Issuer’s existing shareholders, providing the existing shareholders with the right to acquire Ordinary Shares upon the Issuer meeting certain future equity valuation targets, and (ii) establishment of a new management incentive program to promote the retention and performance of key Issuer personnel.  The material terms of the Indicative Proposal were reviewed by all Parties to the Cooperation Agreement prior to its submission.  Under the Cooperation Agreement, each of the Parties has agreed that it shall not support, either directly or indirectly, consent to, or otherwise vote in favor of, any restructuring transaction that is not supported by the Parties holding a majority of the Notes held by all Parties.  The Indicative Proposal remains subject to ongoing due diligence by the Parties and necessary approvals and may be revised or rescinded at any time depending on a variety of factors, including the nature and substance of any future discussions or negotiations between the Parties and their advisors and the Issuer and its advisors.  There can be no assurance that the Indicative Proposal will be adopted in whole or in part by the Issuer and the Parties, or that discussions or negotiations with the Issuer relating to the Indicative Proposal, or similar proposals or counterproposals, will occur or will result in a restructuring of the Notes or any other changes to the Issuer’s capital structure.  If discussions or negotiations are so commenced, they may result in outcomes that differ materially from those contemplated by the Indicative Proposal.  The Indicative Proposal does not represent an offer to purchase or sell any securities.  The Reporting Persons are not seeking or soliciting the consent of any other person with respect to, nor are they making any recommendation to any other person regarding the merits of, the Indicative Proposal.

Item 6.
Contracts, Arrangements, Undertakings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

The response to Item 4 of this Amendment No. 5 is incorporated by reference herein.

On May 11, 2023, the Issuer and the Funds entered into an agreement (the “Addendum”) to amend the Board Observer Agreement dated February 16, 2022.  Among other things, the Addendum provides that until such time as the Issuer notifies the Funds in accordance with the Board Observer Agreement, confidential information may be disclosed by the Funds and their representatives to Farallon Capital Europe LLP and their representatives provided that certain conditions under the Addendum are satisfied.

Except as otherwise set forth in the Schedule 13D, as amended by this Amendment No. 5, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships between the Reporting Persons named in Item 2 and any other person with respect to any securities of the Issuer.
