Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On July 14, 2023, Shift Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Second Amendment to Inventory Financing and Security Agreement (the “Second Amendment”), by and among the Company, certain of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Borrowers” and each, a “Borrower”), Ally Bank (“Ally Bank”) and Ally Financial Inc. (“Ally Financial” and, together with Ally Bank, the “Lender”), which amends the Company’s existing Inventory Financing and Security Agreement dated as of December 9, 2021, as amended by the Amendment to Inventory Financing and Security Agreement dated as of February 7, 2023 (as so amended, the “Ally Facility”), by and among the Company, the Borrowers and the Lender.
The Second Amendment amends the Ally Facility to, among other things, (i) reduce the maximum available credit line (the “Credit Line”) under the Ally Facility from $75 million to $30 million, (ii) eliminate the option for a Borrower to obtain financing from the Lender for vehicles for which Dealership does not then hold a lien-free title, and (iii) eliminate the minimum liquidity financial covenant. The Second Amendment also, in conjunction with the Borrowers entering into an amended Credit Balance Agreement with the Lender, amends the Borrowers’ minimum cash balance requirement with the Lender to be an amount equal to the lesser of (i) at least 30% of the amount of the Credit Line and (ii) 100% of the total outstanding principal balance under the Ally Facility.
The foregoing description of the Second Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Second Amendment, which is filed hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
The Company entered into the Second Amendment in connection with the previously announced review of strategic alternatives by its Board of Directors, management team and advisors, which remains ongoing.

II. THE RECITALS
The essential facts relied on by Bank, Ally, Dealership and Guarantor as true and complete, and giving rise to this Amendment, are as follows:
A. | The Ally Parties, Dealership, and Guarantor are parties to an Inventory Financing and Security Agreement, effective as of December 9, 2021, as amended by the Amendment to Inventory Financing and Security Agreement, effective as of February 7, 2023 (as amended, modified, restated, or replaced, the “IFSA”). |
B. | The Parties to this Amendment desire to amend the IFSA as outlined in this Amendment. |
III. THE AGREEMENT
In consideration of the premises and the mutual promises in this Amendment, which are acknowledged to be sufficient, the Parties agree to the following:
A. | Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings given to them in the IFSA. |
B. | Effective as of the Amendment Effective Date, Section III.A.2 of the IFSA is modified so that the maximum aggregate amount of credit available pursuant to this IFSA (the “Credit Line”) is $30,000,000.00 at any time outstanding. |
C. | Effective as of Amendment Effective Date, Section III.A.8 of the IFSA is deleted. This eliminates the Advance Floorplan Accommodation. |
D. | Effective as of Amendment Effective Date, Section III.G.7 of the IFSA is deleted and replaced with the following: |
7. | Dealership will comply in all material respects with all of Dealership’s obligations under the Credit Balance Agreement in effect between Dealership and Ally Bank (and any amendments or modifications to such agreement), including, but not limited to, maintaining the Minimum Required Balance (as defined in the Credit Balance Agreement). |
E. | Effective as of Amendment Effective Date, Section III.G.8 of the IFSA is deleted and replaced with the following: |
8. | Financial Covenants. Dealership and Guarantor will comply with the following financial covenants, tested monthly (as of month-end) based on Guarantor’s monthly financial statements: |
(a) | [Reserved.] |
(b) | Inventory Equity: Dealership will maintain Vehicle inventory equity of at least 10%, calculated as follows: |
The amount by which the value of Dealership’s Vehicle inventory exceeds Wholesale Outstandings, divided by the value of Dealership’s Vehicle inventory, must be equal to or greater than 10%, where:
i. | Vehicle inventory includes all vehicles owned by Dealership and covered by the Ally Parties’ security interest, including wholesale vehicles, but excluding Vehicles held on consignment; | |
ii. | Vehicle inventory value is net of unpaid lien payoffs (and excludes the value of Vehicles held on consignment); and | |
iii. | unrestricted cash and cash equivalents (i.e., cash maintained in the Dealership’s bank account(s), plus outstanding deposits, less outstanding checks, less bank fees, plus any amounts maintained under the Credit Balance Agreement in excess of any amounts used to establish the Minimum Required Balance under such agreement, all as of the month-end for which the covenant applies) may be used to bolster Vehicle inventory value. |
(c) | Monthly Certification. Dealership and Guarantor will provide a monthly certificate executed by an officer affirming compliance with the Inventory Equity covenant, and providing the basis for such affirmations. |
2
F. | Except as provided above, the IFSA and all other agreements between each of the Ally Parties and Dealership and Guarantor remain in full force and effect as written. In the event of a conflict between the terms of the IFSA and this Amendment, the terms of this Amendment prevail. The Parties hereto ratify all terms of the IFSA as amended by this Amendment. |
G. | If any provision of this Amendment is held to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, all other provisions remain valid and enforceable. |
H. | This Amendment: |
a. | May be modified only by a writing signed by all Parties. |
b. | May be signed in counterparts, each of which is deemed an original, and all of which taken together constitute one and the same agreement. The signatures of the Parties, exchanged via fax or e-mail, shall constitute and be deemed original signatures for all purposes. |
c. | Binds and inures to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and assigns. |
d. | Constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties with respect to its subject matter. |
Agreed to effective as of the Amendment Effective Date.
