2026-05-01SEC Filing SCHEDULE 13D/A (0001193125-26-201879)

This Amendment No. 39 to Schedule 13D was filed by Ernest C. Garcia II on May 1, 2026, regarding his investment in Carvana Co. (CVNA). The filing reports a beneficial ownership of 42,442,317 Class A Shares (on an as-converted basis), representing approximately 22.9% of the class. This position includes shares held directly by Mr. Garcia and through his wholly-owned entities, ECG II SPE, LLC (E-SPE) and the newly added ECG II SPE II, LLC (E-SPE II). A key update in this filing is E-SPE entering into a supplemental confirmation for a covered call option transaction with Citibank, N.A. Under this agreement, E-SPE sold European-style call options for 4,000,000 Class A shares with strike prices of $450.00 and $500.00, exercisable on May 21, 2027. These options are secured by a pledge of 5,000,000 Class A Units and 4,000,000 Class B shares. Despite the pledge, Mr. Garcia retains voting and dispositive power over the securities during the pendency of the options. The transaction was entered into for investment purposes.
