Root, Inc. entered into a Warrant Cancellation and Exchange Agreement with Carvana Group, LLC on August 31, 2026, cancelling all remaining warrants previously issued under their October 1, 2021 agreement. In their place, Root issued a New Warrant allowing Carvana to acquire up to 1,525,560 shares of Class A Common Stock across five equal tranches of 305,112 shares, directly contingent upon meeting specific insurance sales performance milestones on their Integrated Platform. Concurrently, the partners executed amendments to their Commercial Agreement, Investment Agreement, and Registration Rights Agreement to revise contract terms, non-renewal notification periods, and commercial exclusivity obligations, recalibrating equity incentives to drive embedded insurance distribution.
The restructuring tightly aligns Carvana's equity upside with measurable embedded insurance conversion volumes while modernizing the core commercial and exclusivity framework between both digital platforms.
