SUPPLEMENT TO DEFINITIVE PROXY STATEMENT RELATING TO
2022 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

This Proxy Statement Supplement, dated March 24, 2022 (this “Supplement”), supplements the Definitive Proxy Statement of Carvana Co. (the “Company”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 23, 2022 (the “Proxy Statement”), relating to the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company to be held on Monday, May 2, 2022 in a virtual meeting format only.

The purpose of this Supplement is (i) to correct an error in the beneficial ownership table included on pages 51 through 57 of the Proxy Statement under the heading “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management,” which inadvertently reported that CVAN Holdings, LLC shared voting and dispositive power of 9,345,376 shares of Class A common stock instead of 850,000 shares of Class A common stock; and (ii) to include additional disclosure under the heading “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management” to report a delinquent Section 16(a) report that was inadvertently omitted from the Proxy Statement.

Accordingly, the Proxy Statement disclosure under the heading “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management” is amended and replaced in its entirety with the following. Except for the information in this Supplement regarding the disclosure under the heading “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management,” all information set forth in the Proxy Statement remains unchanged.



SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth information regarding beneficial ownership of our common stock as of March 3, 2022, by:

each person or group of affiliated persons known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our common stock;
each of our named executive officers;
each of our directors; and
all of our current executive officers and directors as a group.

We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules of the SEC, and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Unless otherwise indicated below, it is our understanding that the persons and entities named in the table have sole voting and sole investment power with respect to all shares that they beneficially own, subject to community property laws where applicable. In computing the number of shares of our common stock beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, we deemed outstanding shares of our common stock subject to options, Class B Units, or restricted stock units held by that person that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of March 3, 2022. We did not deem these shares outstanding, however, for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. We have based the percentage ownership of our Class A common stock on 90,128,686 shares of our common stock outstanding as of March 3, 2022, and have based the percentage ownership of our Class B common stock on 82,900,275 shares as of the same date. Unless otherwise indicated, the address of each beneficial owner listed on the table below is c/o Carvana Co., 1930 W Rio Salado Pkwy, Tempe, AZ 85281.
