**SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS**

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, about us and our industry that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q including statements regarding our future results of operations or financial condition, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as "anticipate," "believe," "contemplate," "continue," "could," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "may," "plan," "potential," "predict," "project," "should," "target," "will" or "would" or the negative of these words or other similar terms or expressions. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements concerning the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our expectations regarding our revenue, operating expenses and other operating results, including our key metrics and our ability to meet previously announced earnings guidance;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to effectively manage our growth and expand our business;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to grow the number of participants on our marketplace platform;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to acquire new customers and successfully retain existing customers and capture a greater share of wholesale transactions from our existing customers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to increase usage of our marketplace platform and generate revenue from our value-added services;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• anticipated trends, growth rates, and challenges in our business and in the markets in which we operate;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to achieve or sustain our profitability;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• future investments in our business, our anticipated capital expenditures and our estimates regarding our capital requirements;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the costs and success of our marketing efforts, and our ability to promote our brand;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the effects of macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions on our business;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our reliance on key personnel and our ability to identify, recruit and retain skilled personnel, especially as we establish new offerings;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to compete effectively with existing competitors and new market entrants;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to obtain, maintain, protect and enforce our intellectual property rights and any costs associated therewith;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to predict, prepare and respond to new kinds of technology innovations, market developments and changing customer needs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to expand internationally;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to identify, complete, and integrate acquisitions that complement and expand our reach and marketplace platform;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our decision to not declare or pay dividends for the foreseeable future;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to comply or remain in compliance with laws and regulations that currently apply or become applicable to our business in the United States and other jurisdictions where we elect to do business;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the growth rates of the markets in which we compete; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our expectations with respect to the performance of our floorplan loan business.

You should not rely on forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The outcome of the events described in these forward-looking statements is subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors described under the header "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all risks and uncertainties that could have an impact on the forward-looking statements contained herein. The results, events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements may not be

In addition, statements that "we believe" and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based on information available to us as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. While we believe that information provides a reasonable basis for these statements, that information may be limited or incomplete. Our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain, and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely on these statements.

The forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made, and we undertake no obligation to update them to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or to reflect new information or the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law.

**ACV AUCTIONS INC.**

**NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies**

***Nature of Business*** – ACV Auctions Inc. (the "Company" or "ACV") operates in one industry segment, providing a wholesale auction marketplace to facilitate business-to-business used vehicle sales between a selling dealership ("Seller") and a buying dealership ("Buyer"). The marketplace encompasses the digital marketplaces, remarketing centers, data services, and data and technology.

Customers using the marketplace are licensed automotive dealerships or other commercial automotive enterprises. At the election of the customer purchasing a vehicle, the Company can arrange third-party transportation services for the delivery of the purchased vehicle through its wholly owned subsidiary, ACV Transportation LLC ("ACV Transport"). The Company can also provide the customer financing for the purchased vehicle through its wholly owned subsidiary, ACV Capital LLC ("ACV Capital"). ACV also provides data services that offer insights into the condition and value of used vehicles for transactions both on and off the Company's marketplace, which help dealerships, their end customers, and commercial partners make more informed decisions to transact with confidence and efficiency. Customers using data services are licensed automotive dealerships or other commercial automotive enterprises. Services are primarily provided in the United States and certain data services are also provided internationally. Services are supported by the Company's operations which are primarily in North America and India.

***Basis of Consolidation*** – The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ACV Auctions Inc. and all of its controlled subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

***Basis of Preparation*** – The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and pursuant to the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The Company has condensed or omitted certain information and notes normally included in complete annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. These financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the Company's annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for the fair statement of the Company's financial information. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should therefore be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, as filed with the SEC on February 23, 2026 (the "Annual Report"). As of March 31, 2026, there have been no material changes in our significant accounting policies from those that were disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K, unless otherwise discussed below. Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") and Accounting Standards Updates ("ASU") of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB").

***Seasonality*** – The volume of vehicles sold through auctions held on ACV's marketplace platform generally fluctuates from quarter to quarter. This seasonality is caused by several factors, including holidays, weather, the seasonality of the retail market for used vehicles and the timing of federal tax returns, which affects the demand side of the vehicle auction industry. As a result, revenue and operating expenses related to volume will fluctuate accordingly on a quarterly basis. In the fourth quarter, we typically experience lower used vehicle auction volume as well as additional costs associated with the holidays. Seasonally depressed used vehicle auction volume typically continues during the winter months through the beginning of the first quarter. Typical seasonality trends may not be observed in periods where other external factors more significantly impact the industry.

***Recent Accounting Pronouncements*** – The following table provides a description of accounting standards that are not yet adopted that could have an impact to the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

**2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fair Value Measurement**

Fair value accounting is applied for all financial assets and liabilities and non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the condensed consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the condensed consolidated financial statements are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. Hierarchical levels, which are directly related to the amount of subjectivity, associated with the inputs to the valuation of these assets or liabilities are as follows:

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

Level 2: Inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data which require the Company to develop its own assumptions.

The Company's financial instruments primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade and finance accounts receivable and accounts payable. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, trade and finance accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of those instruments. The carrying values of the Company's revolving credit facility and revolving warehouse facility were determined to approximate their fair values due to their duration and variable interest rates that approximate prevailing interest rates as of each reporting period.

The following tables present information about the Company's financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, and indicate the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs utilized to determine such fair value (in thousands):

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total financial assets | $85140 | $— | $— | $85140 |

The Company classifies its highly liquid money market funds within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued based on quoted market prices in active markets.

**3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Accounts Receivables & Allowance for Credit Losses**

The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses that, in management's judgment, reflects expected credit losses in the portfolio. A provision for credit losses is recorded to adjust the level of the allowance as deemed necessary by management.

Changes in the allowance for credit losses related to trade receivables for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were as follows (in thousands):

On September 10, 2025, Tricolor Holdings, LLC, and certain of its affiliates (collectively, "Tricolor") filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 7 of the United States Bankruptcy Code with the United States Bankruptcy court for the Northern District of Texas. During the quarter ending September 30, 2025, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses for the full amount of the floorplan finance receivables due from Tricolor. Tricolor accounted for $7.6 million of the Company's finance receivable write-offs for the three months ended March 31, 2026.

**4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Guarantees, Commitments and Contingencies**

The Company provides certain guarantees to sellers in the marketplace in the ordinary course of business, which are accounted for under ASC 460, *Guarantees* as a general guarantee.

*Vehicle Condition Guarantees* – Sellers must attach a vehicle condition report in the marketplace for every auction; this vehicle condition report is used by Buyers to inform bid decisions. The Company offers guarantees to Sellers in qualifying situations where the Company performed a vehicle inspection and prepared the vehicle condition report. Sellers pay a fee in exchange for this guarantee. Such guarantees provide Sellers protection from paying remedies to Buyers related to a Buyer's claim that the vehicle condition report did not accurately portray the condition of the vehicle purchased on the Marketplace. These guarantees provide the Company with the right to retain proceeds from the subsequent liquidation of vehicles covered under the guarantees. The guarantees are typically provided for 10 days after the successful sale of the vehicle on the Marketplace. The fair value of vehicle condition guarantees issued is estimated based on historical results and other qualitative factors. Vehicle condition guarantee revenue is recognized on the earlier of the guarantee expiration date or the guarantee settlement date. The maximum potential payment is the sale price of the vehicle. The total sale price of vehicles for which there was an outstanding guarantee was approximately $350.4 million and approximately $193.2 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The carrying amount of the liability presented on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets was $2.6 million and $2.1 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

*Price Guarantees* – The Company provides Sellers with a price guarantee for vehicles to be sold on the marketplace from time to time. If a vehicle sells below the guaranteed price, the Company is responsible for paying the Seller the difference between the guaranteed price and the final sale price. The term of the guarantee is typically less than one week. No material unsettled price guarantees existed at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

*Litigation* – The Company and its subsidiaries are subject in the normal course of business to various pending and threatened legal proceedings and matters in which claims for monetary damages are asserted. On an on-going basis, management, after consultation with legal counsel, assesses the Company's liabilities and contingencies in connection with such proceedings. For those matters where it is probable that the Company will incur losses and the amounts of the losses can be reasonably estimated, the Company records an expense and corresponding liability in its condensed consolidated financial statements. To the extent pending or threatened litigation could result in exposure in excess of the recorded liability, the amount of such excess is not currently estimable.

**5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Borrowings**

There have been no material changes to the Company's borrowing arrangements since those disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

**10.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Segment Information**

The Company's Chief Executive Officer is the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") and is responsible for reviewing financial information presented on a segment basis for purposes of making operating decisions and assessing financial performance. The CEO reviews the financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating the Company's financial performance. Accordingly, the Company has determined that it operates in a single reporting segment (the "ACV segment").

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i67fb2c6ed3e54a32a8fe19fe1ee90eb2_7)</u>

The ACV segment provides the marketplace to facilitate business-to-business used vehicle sales between a seller and a buyer. Customers using the marketplace are licensed automotive dealerships or other commercial automotive enterprises. At the election of the customer purchasing a vehicle, the Company can arrange third-party transportation services for the delivery of the purchased vehicle through its wholly owned subsidiary, ACV Transportation LLC. The Company can also provide the customer with financing for the purchased vehicle through its wholly owned subsidiary, ACV Capital LLC. ACV also provides data services that offer insights into the condition and value of used vehicles for transactions both on and off the Company's Marketplace. The ACV segment provides a wholesale auction marketplace to dealers and derives its revenues primarily from North America. The CODM assesses performance for the ACV segment and decides how to allocate resources based on net income (loss) that also is reported on the consolidated statement of operations as consolidated net income (loss). The CODM uses net income (loss) in budget versus actual analysis to measure performance and as a key input to make resource investment and management compensation decisions.

The following is the information used by the CODM in assessing segment performance:

**Overview**

Our mission is to build and enable the most trusted and efficient marketplace platform for buying and selling used vehicles with transparency and comprehensive data that was previously unimaginable.

We provide a highly efficient and vibrant marketplace platform for wholesale vehicle transactions and data services that offer transparent and accurate vehicle information to our customers. Our marketplace platform leverages data insights and technology to power our digital marketplace and data services, enabling our dealers and commercial partners to buy, sell, and value vehicles with confidence and efficiency. We strive to solve the challenges that the used automotive industry has faced for generations and provide powerful technology-enabled capabilities to our dealers and commercial partners who fulfill a critical role in the automotive ecosystem. We help dealers source and manage inventory and accurately price their vehicles as well as process payments, transfer titles, manage arbitrations, and finance and transport vehicles. Our marketplace platform encompasses:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ***Digital Marketplace*.** Connects buyers and sellers of wholesale vehicles in an intuitive and efficient manner. Our core digital marketplace offerings are auctions in varying formats, which facilitate real time transactions of wholesale vehicles, and are accessible across multiple platforms including mobile apps, desktop, and directly through API integration. We also offer transportation, financing and assurance services to facilitate the entire transaction journey.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ***Remarketing Centers.*** Provides an additional channel to provide dealers and commercial partners with auction services. At remarketing centers, vehicles may be auctioned onsite and/or launched into the digital marketplace. Additional services are offered at remarketing centers that are important to servicing commercial partners.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ***Data Services*.** Offers insights into the condition and value of used vehicles for transactions both on and off our marketplace and helps dealers, their end consumers, and commercial partners make more informed decisions and transact with confidence and efficiency. We enable dealers to manage their inventory and set pricing more effectively while turning vehicles faster and maximizing profit by leveraging predictive analytics informed by artificial intelligence, machine learning and market data.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ***Data and Technology*.** Underpins everything we do, and powers our vehicle inspections, comprehensive vehicle intelligence reports, digital marketplace, inventory management software, and operations automation.

We have historically generated the majority of our revenue from our digital marketplace where we earn auction and ancillary fees from both buyers and sellers in each case only upon a successful auction. Buyer auction fees are variable based on the price of the vehicle, while seller auction fees include a fixed auction fee and an optional fee for the elective condition report associated with the vehicle. We also earn ancillary fees through additional value-added services to buyers and sellers in connection with the auction.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i67fb2c6ed3e54a32a8fe19fe1ee90eb2_7)</u>

Our customers include participants on our marketplace platform and purchasers of our data services. Certain dealers and commercial partners purchase data services in connection with vehicle assessments, software subscriptions, and transactions that do not occur on our Marketplace. Our dealer customers include a majority of the top 100 used vehicle dealers in the United States.

**Key Operating and Financial Metrics**

We regularly monitor a number of operating and financial metrics in order to measure our current performance and estimate our future performance. Our business metrics may be calculated in a manner different than similar business metrics used by other companies.

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Three Months ended March 31,** | **Three Months ended March 31,** |
| | **2026** | **2025** |
| Marketplace Units | 213492 | 208025 |
| Marketplace GMV | $2.7 billion | $2.6 billion |
| Adjusted EBITDA | $17.1 million | $13.9 million |

---

***Marketplace Units***

Marketplace Units is a key indicator of our potential for growth in Marketplace GMV and revenue. It demonstrates the overall engagement of our customers and our market share of wholesale transactions in the United States. We define Marketplace Units as the number of vehicles transacted within the applicable period. Marketplace Units transacted includes any vehicle that successfully reaches sold status, even if the auction is subsequently unwound, meaning the buyer or seller does not complete the transaction. These instances were immaterial in the periods presented. Marketplace Units exclude vehicles that were inspected by ACV, but not sold. Marketplace Units have generally increased as we have expanded our territory coverage, added new Marketplace Buyers and Marketplace Sellers and increased our share of wholesale transactions from existing customers. Because we only earn auction and ancillary fees in the case of a successful auction, Marketplace Units remain a critical driver of our revenue growth.

***Marketplace GMV***

Marketplace GMV is primarily driven by the volume and dollar value of Marketplace Units transactions. We believe that Marketplace GMV acts as an indicator of our success, signaling satisfaction of dealers and buyers, and the health, scale, and growth of our business. We define Marketplace GMV as the total dollar value of vehicles transacted within the applicable period, excluding any auction and ancillary fees. Because our definition of Marketplace Units does not include vehicles inspected but not sold, and because the value of the vehicle sold is not recognized as revenue, Marketplace GMV does not represent revenue earned by us. We expect that Marketplace GMV will continue to grow as Marketplace Units grow, though at a varying rate within a given applicable period, as Marketplace GMV is also impacted by the value of each vehicle transacted. In periods of declining used vehicle values, Marketplace GMV may decline even while Marketplace Units increase.

***Marketplace Buyers***

We define Marketplace Buyers as dealers or commercial partners with a unique customer ID that have transacted at least once in the last 12 months as a buyer on our marketplace platform. Marketplace Buyers include independent and franchise dealers buying on our marketplace.

***Marketplace Sellers***

We define Marketplace Sellers as dealers or commercial partners with a unique customer ID that have transacted at least once in the last 12 months as a seller on our marketplace platform. Marketplace Sellers include independent and franchise dealers selling on our marketplace, as well as commercial partners, consisting of commercial leasing companies, rental car companies, banks or other finance companies, who use our marketplace to sell their inventory.

We monitor the growth in both Marketplace Buyers and Marketplace Sellers as they each promote a more vibrant and healthy marketplace. We believe that our growth in Marketplace Sellers and Marketplace Buyers over time has been driven by the value proposition of our offerings, and our sales and marketing success, including our ability to attract new

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i67fb2c6ed3e54a32a8fe19fe1ee90eb2_7)</u>

dealers and commercial partners to our marketplace platform. Based on our current position in the market, we believe that we have significant opportunity to continue to increase the number of Marketplace Buyers and Marketplace Sellers.

***Adjusted EBITDA***

Adjusted EBITDA is a performance measure that we use to assess our operating performance and the operating leverage in our business. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), adjusted to exclude: depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, interest (income) expense, provision for income taxes, and other one-time, non-recurring items, when applicable, such as acquisition-related and restructuring expenses. We monitor Adjusted EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure to supplement the financial information we present in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, to provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results. For further explanation of the uses and limitations of this measure and a reconciliation of our Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, net income (loss), please see "—Non-GAAP Financial Measures."

We expect Adjusted EBITDA to fluctuate in the near term as we continue to invest in our business and improve over the long term as we achieve greater scale in our business and efficiencies in our operating expenses.

**Factors Affecting Our Performance**

We believe that the growth and future success of our business depend on many factors. While each of these factors presents significant opportunities for our business, they also pose important challenges that we must successfully address in order to sustain our growth, improve our results of operations, and increase profitability.

***Increasing Marketplace Units***

Increasing Marketplace Units is a key driver of our revenue growth. The transparency, efficiency and vibrancy of our marketplace is critical to our ability to grow our share of wholesale transactions from existing customers and attract new buyers and sellers to our marketplace platform. Failure to increase the number of Marketplace Units would adversely affect our revenue growth, operating results, and the overall health of our marketplace.

*Grow Our Share of Wholesale Transactions from Existing Customers*

Our success depends in part on our ability to grow our share of wholesale transactions from existing customers, increasing their engagement and spend on our marketplace platform. We remain in the early stages of penetrating our Marketplace Buyers' and Sellers' total number of wholesale transactions. As we continue to invest in our trusted and efficient marketplace platform, we expect that we will capture an increasing share of transactions from our existing buyers and sellers. Our ability to increase share from existing customers will depend on a number of factors, including our customers' satisfaction with our marketplace platform, competition, pricing and overall changes in our customers' engagement levels.

*Add New Marketplace Buyers and Marketplace Sellers*

We believe we have a significant opportunity to add new marketplace participants. As we expand our presence within our existing territories, we are able to drive increased liquidity and greater vehicle selection, which in turn improves our ability to attract new Marketplace Buyers and Marketplace Sellers. Additionally, we intend to add more commercial consignors to our marketplace platform and capture a greater share of vehicles in the wholesale market that are sold to dealers by commercial consignors through auctions and private sales.

Our ability to attract new Marketplace Buyers and Marketplace Sellers will depend on a number of factors including: the ability of our sales team to onboard dealers and commercial consignors onto our marketplace platform and ensure their satisfaction, the ability of our territory managers to build awareness of our brand, the ability of our vehicle condition inspectors, or VCIs, to cultivate relationships with our customers in their respective territories, and the effectiveness of our marketing efforts.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i67fb2c6ed3e54a32a8fe19fe1ee90eb2_7)</u>

***Grow Awareness for Our Offerings and Brand***

Wholesale vehicle online penetration is in the early stages, lagging the consumer automotive market, and we expect more dealers and commercial partners to source and manage their inventory online. As the digitization of the wholesale automotive market accelerates, we believe that our digital marketplace is well positioned to capture a disproportionate share of that growth. We use targeted sales and marketing efforts to educate potential Marketplace Buyers and Marketplace Sellers as to the benefits of our offerings and drive adoption of our marketplace platform. Our ability to grow awareness of our offerings and brand depend on a number of factors, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ***Secure Trusted Supply.*** The more trusted supply on our marketplace, the more buyers we can attract to our marketplace platform.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ***Deepen Relationships with Dealers and Commercial Partners.*** We have a team of VCIs that regularly interacts with our customers, providing high-quality inspection services and developing strong customer relationships.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ***Drive Customer Loyalty.*** Our loyal customers and referrals serve as a highly effective customer acquisition tool, and help drive our growth in a given territory.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ***Grow Brand Awareness.*** We invest in promoting our brand via targeted marketing spend to increase customer awareness in the territories in which we operate.

Our future success is dependent on our ability to successfully grow our market presence and market and sell products to both new and existing customers.

***Grow Value-Added and Data Services***

We continue to drive customer adoption of our existing value-added and data services and introduce new and complementary products. Our ability to drive higher attachment rates of existing value-added services, such as ACV Transportation, ACV Capital, and ACV MAX will help grow our revenue. We continue to drive customer adoption of our data services such as our inventory management system, which enables dealers to accurately price wholesale and retail inventory while maximizing profit by leveraging predictive analytics informed by artificial intelligence. These data services enable our customers to make more informed inventory management decisions both on and off our digital marketplace. In addition, we will continue to focus on developing new products and services that enhance our marketplace platform in areas including new data-powered products. Our ability to drive customer adoption of these products and services is dependent on the pricing of our products, the offerings of our competitors and the effectiveness of our marketing efforts.

***Investment in Growth***

We are actively investing in our business. In order to support our future growth and expanded product offerings, we expect this investment to continue. We anticipate that our operating expenses will increase as we continue to build our sales and marketing efforts, expand our employee base and invest in our technology development. The investments we make in our marketplace platform are designed to grow our revenue opportunity and to improve our operating results in the long term, but these investments could also delay our ability to achieve or sustain profitability in the near term. Our success is dependent on making value-generative investments that support our future growth.

***Used Car Demand***

Our success depends in part on sufficient demand for used vehicles. Since early 2020 demand for cars has outpaced supply, which was impacted by global vehicle production challenges, and during this period, new car supply had a significant impact on the volume of wholesale vehicles available within our marketplace. More recently, new vehicle supply has begun to increase, although still below historical levels. However, this increase in new vehicle supply has been coupled with higher interest rates which has made both new and used vehicles more expensive for retail consumers utilizing financing. Used car demand will be in part dependent on the economic health of the retail consumer and their ability to afford a vehicle purchase, which may be impacted by macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions, including the impact of changes in trade policies.

Used vehicle sales are also seasonal. Sales typically peak late in the first quarter and early in the second quarter, with the lowest relative level of industry vehicle sales occurring in the fourth quarter. Due to our growth since launch, our sales patterns to date have not been entirely reflective of the general seasonality of the used vehicle market, but we expect this to normalize as our business matures. Seasonality also impacts used vehicle pricing, with used vehicles depreciating

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i67fb2c6ed3e54a32a8fe19fe1ee90eb2_7)</u>

at a faster rate in the last two quarters of each year and a slower rate in the first two quarters of each year. We may experience seasonal and other fluctuations in our quarterly results of operations, which may not fully reflect the underlying performance of our business. See the section titled "Seasonality" for additional information on the impacts of seasonality on our business.

**Components of Results of Operations**

***Revenue***

*Marketplace and Service Revenue*

We have historically generated the majority of our revenue from our digital marketplace where we earn auction and ancillary fees from both buyers and sellers, in each case only upon a successful auction. Our marketplace and service revenue consists principally of revenue earned from facilitating auctions and arranging for the transportation of vehicles purchased in such auctions.

We act as an agent when facilitating a vehicle auction through the marketplace. Auction and related fees charged to the buyer and seller are reported as revenue on a net basis, excluding the price of the auctioned vehicle in the transaction.

We act as a principal when arranging for the transportation of vehicles purchased on the marketplace and leverage our network of third-party transportation carriers to secure the arrangement. Transportation fees charged to the buyer are reported on a gross basis.

We also generate data services revenue through our True360 reports and ACV MAX inventory management software subscriptions and offer short-term inventory financing to eligible customers purchasing vehicles through the marketplace.

*Customer Assurance Revenue*

We also generate revenue by providing vehicle condition assurance and price guarantee products to our customers. Our Go Green offering to sellers provides assurance on the condition of certain vehicles sold on the marketplace, which is considered a guarantee under GAAP. This assurance option is only available for Go Green sellers on qualifying vehicles for which we have prepared the vehicle condition report. Our price guarantee products provide sellers with minimum guaranteed sales prices for certain vehicles sold on the marketplace. Customer assurance revenue is measured based upon the fair value of the guarantees that we provide.

***Operating Expenses***

*Marketplace and Service Cost of Revenue*

Marketplace and service cost of revenue consists of third-party transportation carrier costs, titles shipping costs, customer support, website hosting costs, inspection costs related to data services and various other costs. These costs include salaries, benefits, bonuses and related stock-based compensation expenses, which we refer to as personnel expenses. We expect our marketplace and service cost of revenue to continue to increase in absolute dollars as we continue to scale our business and introduce new product and service offerings.

*Customer Assurance Cost of Revenue*

Customer assurance cost of revenue consists of the costs related to satisfying claims against the vehicle condition and price guarantees.

*Operations and Technology*

Operations and technology expense consists of costs for wholesale auction inspections, personnel costs related to payments and titles processing, transportation processing, product and engineering and other general operations and technology expenses. These costs include personnel-related expenses and other allocated facility and office costs. We expect that our operations and technology expense will increase in absolute dollars as our business grows, particularly as we incur additional costs related to continued investments in our marketplace, transportation capabilities and other technologies.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i67fb2c6ed3e54a32a8fe19fe1ee90eb2_7)</u>

*Selling, General and Administrative*

Selling, general and administrative expense consists of costs resulting from sales, accounting, finance, legal, marketing, human resources, executive, and other administrative activities. These costs include personnel-related expenses, legal and other professional services expenses and other allocated facility and office costs. Also included in selling, general and administrative expense is advertising and marketing costs to promote our services. We expect that our selling, general and administrative expense will increase in absolute dollars as our business grows. However, we expect that our selling, general and administrative expense will decrease as a percentage of our revenue as our revenue grows over the longer term.

*Depreciation and Amortization*

Depreciation and amortization expense consists of depreciation of fixed assets, and amortization of acquired intangible assets and internal-use software.

***Other Income (Expense)***

Other income (expense) consists primarily of interest expense on our borrowings and interest earned on our marketable securities and cash and cash equivalents.

***Provision for Income Taxes***

Provision for income taxes consists of U.S. federal, state and foreign income taxes.

The increase was primarily driven by an increase in other marketplace revenue which is earned from providing transportation and financing services. Auction marketplace revenue from our Marketplace Buyers and Marketplace Sellers increased as well. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, other marketplace revenue increased to $80.4 million from $67.7 million and auction marketplace revenue increased to $93.8 million from $90.0 million. The increase in other marketplace revenue was primarily related to an

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i67fb2c6ed3e54a32a8fe19fe1ee90eb2_7)</u>

increase in the revenue earned from the transportation of vehicles due to an increase in the number of units transported. The increase in auction marketplace revenue was primarily volume driven. The volume of Marketplace Units sold on the marketplace platform increased to 213,492 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from 208,025 for the comparable prior year period which is an indicator of increased overall customer engagement. The wholesale automotive industry continues to transition to digital transactions, with an increasing amount of customers transacting digitally versus at physical auction houses. This industry transition, and our position as a leader in the area of digital wholesale automotive auctions, continues to drive more business to our marketplace platform. The average total revenue per Marketplace Unit increased for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 due to higher buyer rates and customers adding more optional ancillary services to the auction such as transportation services and financing services which resulted in increase to both auction marketplace and other marketplace revenue.

The increase was primarily driven by an increase in other customer assurance revenue due to an increase in units sold through our price guarantee sales. Other customer assurance revenue increased to $4.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 due to the aforementioned increase in units sold through the guarantee sales. Go Green assurance revenue also increased, driven by an increase in units that elected the Go Green offering. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, Go Green assurance revenue increased to $17.2 million from $15.0 million.

The increase primarily consisted of higher costs related to generating other marketplace revenue. Other marketplace cost of revenues increased to $57.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $47.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to an increase in units transported. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, total cost attributed to generating auction marketplace revenue increased to $17.8 million from $16.6 million. The increase in auction marketplace cost of revenue is due to increased units sold through our marketplace. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 data services cost of revenue was $4.6 million, compared to $5.1 million in the comparable prior year period. Marketplace and service costs of revenues as a percentage of revenue increased during the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 due to a decrease in units sold at our physical auction locations which resulted in lower margins on these units. Higher fuel costs associated with transporting vehicles to customers also contributed to the increase.

The increase was primarily driven by an increase in other customer assurance cost of revenue due to an increase in units sold through our price guarantee sales. Other customer assurance cost of revenue increased to $4.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 due primarily to an increase in costs incurred on the Company's price guarantee sales driven by an increase in units sold through our price guarantee sales in the current year compared to the prior period. Go Green assurance cost of revenue also increased, driven by an increase in the number of arbitration claims due to increased volume of completed auctions where the customer elected the Go Green offering. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, Go Green assurance cost of revenue increased to $14.1 million from $12.7 million. Customer assurance cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue increased during the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 due to the higher proportion of units sold through our price guarantee sale during the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. Units sold through the guarantee sale are generally lower margin than units sold without a guarantee but we believe the guarantee sale units are still accretive to revenue and net income.

The increase was primarily due to higher software and technology costs as we continue to invest in our technology and infrastructure amid ongoing business growth. Software and technology costs increased to $6.8 million from $4.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, personnel-related costs decreased to $37.0 million from $37.6 million. Other expenses increased to $2.7 million from $1.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. Operations and technology expense as a percentage of revenue decreased during the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 as we continued our efforts to effectively manage costs while growing revenue.

The decrease was primarily due to personnel costs decreasing in the current period. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, personnel-related costs decreased to $41.9 million from $47.2 million, primarily as a result of lower stock-based compensation. Non-personnel expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased to $14.2 million from $11.6 million primarily due to an increase in bad debt expense. Selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased as a percentage

The increase was primarily due to an increase of $1.0 million in amortization of internal-use software costs due to the placing of internal-use software projects into service and the subsequent recognition of amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization as a percentage of revenue remained the same during the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025.

**Non-GAAP Financial Measures**

***Adjusted EBITDA***

We report our financial results in accordance with GAAP. However, management believes that Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, provides investors with additional useful information in evaluating our performance.

Adjusted EBITDA is a financial measure that is not presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA, when taken together with our financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our operating performance and facilitates internal comparisons of our historical operating performance on a more consistent basis by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our business, results of operations or outlook. In particular, we believe that the use of Adjusted EBITDA is helpful to our investors as it is a measure used by management in assessing the health of our business and evaluating our operating performance, as well as for internal planning and forecasting purposes.

Adjusted EBITDA is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. Some of these limitations include that: (i) it does not properly reflect capital commitments to be paid in the future; (ii) although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the underlying assets may need to be replaced and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect these capital expenditures; (iii) it does not consider the impact of stock-based compensation expense; (iv) it does not reflect other non-operating income and expenses, including interest income and expense; (v) it does not consider the impact of any contingent consideration liability valuation adjustments; (vi) it does not reflect tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us; (vii) it does not include the amortization of acquired intangible assets but it does include the revenue that these acquired intangible assets contribute to the enterprise; and (viii) it does not reflect other one-time, non-recurring items, when applicable, such as acquisition-related and restructuring expenses. In addition, our use of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because they may not calculate Adjusted EBITDA in the same manner, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. Because of these limitations, when evaluating our performance, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA alongside other financial measures, including our net loss and other results stated in accordance with GAAP.

***Non-GAAP Net income (loss)***

We report our financial results in accordance with GAAP. However, management believes that Non-GAAP Net income (loss), a financial measure that is not presented in accordance with GAAP, provides investors with additional useful information to measure operating performance and current and future liquidity when taken together with our financial results presented in accordance with GAAP. By providing this information, we believe management and the users of the financial statements are better able to understand the financial results of what we consider to be our continuing operations.

We believe that providing non-GAAP financial measures that exclude stock-based compensation expense allows for more meaningful comparisons between our operating results from period to period. We exclude amortization of acquired intangible assets from the calculation of Non-GAAP Net income (loss). We believe that excluding the impact of amortization of acquired intangible assets allows for more meaningful comparisons between operating results from period to period as the underlying intangible assets are valued at the time of acquisition and are amortized over several years after the acquisition.

We exclude contingent consideration liability valuation adjustments associated with the purchase consideration of transactions accounted for as business combinations. We also exclude certain other one-time, non-recurring items, when applicable, such as acquisition-related and restructuring expenses, because we do not consider such amounts to be part of our ongoing operations nor are they comparable to prior periods nor predictive of future results.

Non-GAAP Net income (loss) is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. Some of these limitations include that: (i) it does not consider the impact of stock-based compensation expense; (ii) although amortization is a non-cash charge, the underlying assets may need to be replaced and Non-GAAP Net income (loss) does not reflect these capital expenditures; (iii) it does not consider the impact of any contingent consideration liability valuation adjustments; (iv) it does not include the amortization of acquired intangible assets but it does include the revenue that these acquired intangible assets contribute to the enterprise; and (v) it does not consider the impact of other one-time charges, such as acquisition-related and restructuring expenses, which could be material to the results of our operations. In addition, our use of Non-GAAP Net income (loss) may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because they may not calculate Non-GAAP Net income (loss) in the same manner, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. Because of these limitations, when evaluating our performance, you should consider Non-GAAP Net income (loss) alongside other financial measures, including our net loss and other results stated in accordance with GAAP.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources**

We have financed operations since our inception primarily through our marketplace revenue, proceeds from sales of equity securities, and debt facilities.

As of March 31, 2026, our principal sources of liquidity were cash and cash equivalents totaling $341.0 million. We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents and cash flow from operations will be sufficient to support working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months and for the long-term. Our future capital requirements over the long-term will depend on many factors, including volume of sales with existing customers, expansion of sales and marketing activities to acquire new customers, timing and extent of spending to support development efforts and introduction of new and enhanced services. We may, in the future, enter into arrangements to acquire or invest in complementary businesses, products, and technologies. We may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing. In the event that we require additional financing, we may not be able to raise such financing on terms acceptable to us or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital or generate cash flows necessary to expand our operations and invest in continued innovation, we may not be able to compete successfully, which would harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

As of March 31, 2026, our principal commitments primarily consist of long-term debt and leases for facilities. We have $5.4 million of lease obligations due within a year, and an additional $40.6 million of lease obligations due at various dates through 2039.

In order to compete successfully and sustain operations at current levels over the next 12 months, we will be required to devote a significant amount of operating cash flow to our human capital in the form of salaries and wages. Additionally, we enter into purchase commitments for goods and services made in the ordinary course of business. These purchase commitments include goods and services received and recorded as liabilities as of March 31, 2026 as well as goods and services which have not yet been delivered or performed and have, therefore, not been reflected in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. These commitments typically become due after the delivery and completion of such goods or services.

We settle transactions among buyers and sellers using the marketplace and, as a result, the value of the vehicles passes through our balance sheet. Because our receivables typically have been, on average, settled faster than our payables, our cash position at each balance sheet date has been bolstered by marketplace float. Changes in working capital vary from quarter-to-quarter as a result of Marketplace GMV and the timing of collections and disbursements of funds related to auctions completed near period end.

***Our Debt Arrangements***

***2021 Revolver***

As of March 31, 2026, $85.0 million was drawn under the 2021 Revolver with an interest rate of 8.50%, and there were outstanding letters of credit issued under the 2021 Revolver in the amount of $3.1 million. As of March 31, 2026, we had unused borrowing capacity of $161.9 million under the 2021 revolver.

***Warehouse Facility***

As of March 31, 2026 borrowings under the Warehouse Facility were $115.0 million with an interest rate of 6.53%. As of March 31, 2026, we had unused borrowing capacity of $85.0 million under our Warehouse Facility.

We were in compliance with all such applicable covenants as of March 31, 2026, and believe we are in compliance as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

**Cash Flows from Operating, Investing, and Financing Activities**

The following table shows a summary of our cash flows for the periods presented:

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Three months ended March 31,** | **Three months ended March 31,** |
| | **2026** | **2025** |

| Effect of exchange rate changes | (149) | 32 |
| Net increase in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash | $69473 | $67820 |

---

***Operating Activities***

Our largest source of operating cash is cash collection from fees earned on our marketplace. Our primary uses of cash from operating activities are for personnel expenses, sales and marketing expenses and overhead expenses.

In the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, net cash provided by operating activities was $76.5 million and $66.6 million, respectively. Net cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 consisted primarily of cash earnings and an increase in accounts payable to sellers partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable due from buyers. The increase in cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2026 relative to the three months ended March 31, 2025 is primarily due to increased revenues and the timing of collections and disbursements of funds related to auctions completed near period end.

***Investing Activities***

In the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, net cash used in investing activities was $14.8 million and $30.9 million, respectively. Net cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2026 consisted of capitalized software development costs and an increase in finance receivables. Net cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily related to the increase in finance receivables, capitalized software development and the net outflows from the purchases/maturities of marketable securities.

The decrease in net cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2026 relative to the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily driven by a smaller increase in the finance receivables portfolio compared to the prior year.

***Financing Activities***

In the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, net cash provided by financing activities was $7.9 million and $32.0 million, respectively. Net cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 relate to proceeds, net of repayments, from long term debt, partially offset by payments of RSU tax withholding in exchange for common shares surrendered by RSU holders.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i67fb2c6ed3e54a32a8fe19fe1ee90eb2_7)</u>

The decrease in net cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2026 relative to the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily the result of decreased net borrowings of long-term debt during the period.

**Seasonality**

The volume of vehicles sold through our auctions generally fluctuates from quarter to quarter. This seasonality is caused by several factors, including holidays, weather, the seasonality of the retail market for used vehicles and the timing of federal tax returns, which affects the demand side of the auction industry. As a result, revenue and operating expenses related to volume will fluctuate accordingly on a quarterly basis. In the fourth quarter, we typically experience lower used vehicle auction volume as well as additional costs associated with the holidays. Seasonally depressed used vehicle auction volume typically continues during the winter months through the first quarter. Typical seasonality trends may not be observed in periods where other external factors more significantly impact the industry.

**Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates**

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our estimates are based on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, however, our actual results could differ from these estimates.

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates as compared to those disclosed in the Annual Report.

**Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.**

We are exposed to market risk in the ordinary course of our business. Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. Our market risk exposure is primarily the result of fluctuations in interest rates.

***Interest Rate Risk***

We had cash and cash equivalents of $341.0 million as of March 31, 2026, which consisted of interest-bearing investments with maturities of three months or less and investment grade securities, respectively. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes and have not used any derivative financial instruments to manage our interest rate risk exposure. We had borrowings from banks of $200.0 million as of March 31, 2026. The interest rate paid on these borrowings is variable, indexed to SOFR. Therefore, increases in interest rates will increase the interest expense on these borrowings. A hypothetical 100 basis point change in interest rates would not result in a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

**Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures**

We maintain "disclosure controls and procedures," as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

The Company's management, with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and the Company's Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2026. Based on the evaluation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2026, the Company's

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i67fb2c6ed3e54a32a8fe19fe1ee90eb2_7)</u>

Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

**Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting**

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

**Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls**

The Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, believes that our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and are effective at the reasonable assurance level. However, management does not expect that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures or the Company's internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

The Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangements described above were terminated, modified, adopted, and pre-cleared in accordance with ACV's Insider Trading Policy and actual sale transactions made pursuant to any such trading arrangements have been or will be disclosed publicly in past or future Section 16 filings with the SEC. Other than disclosed above, no other officer adopted, modified or terminated a Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement or "non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement" (as defined in Item 408 of Regulation S-K) during the three months ended March 31, 2026.

On May 4, 2026, The Compensation Committee (the "Committee") of the Board of Directors (the "Board") of ACV Auctions (the "Company") approved, and the Company entered into, severance agreements (each, a "Severance Agreement") with each the Company's Chief Executive Officer and the Company's other executive officers (each, an "Executive" and collectively, the "Executives").

The Severance Agreements replace the existing Severance and Change of Control Plan and Participation Agreements previously entered into between the Company and each Executive. Each Severance Agreement provides that, in the event the Executive's employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or the Chief Executive Officer resigns for Good Reason (each as defined in the Severance Agreement), not in connection with a Change in Control (as defined in the Severance Agreement), the Executive will be entitled to receive the following severance benefits, subject to the Executive's timely execution and non-revocation of a general release of claims in favor of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• A lump sum cash severance payment equal to (A) 1.5 times (in the case of the Chief Executive Officer) and 1.0 times (in the case of each other Executive) the sum of the Executive's annual base salary and (B) a pro-rated annual bonus for the fiscal year of termination if Executive was employed by Company for more than 182 days in the year termination occurred based on the actual achievement of the applicable performance criteria as measured at the end of such year payable in a lump sum

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Participation in the Company's group health and dental plans on the same terms as active employees (or, if such continuation is not permitted, a monthly cash payment equal to the applicable COBRA premium) for a period of 18 months (in the case of the Chief Executive Officer) or 12 months (in the case of each other Executive) following the date of termination

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Accelerated vesting of each outstanding time-based equity award held by the Executive as of the date of termination that would have vested during the 18-month period (in the case of the Chief Executive Officer) or 12-month period (in the case of each other Executive) immediately following the date of termination

Each Severance Agreement further provides that, in the event the Executive's employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or the Executive resigns for Good Reason during the period beginning three months prior to and ending 12 months following a Change in Control (the "Change in Control Protection Period"), the Executive will be entitled to receive the following enhanced severance benefits, in lieu of the severance benefits described above:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a lump sum cash severance payment equal to (A) 2.0 times (in the case of the Chief Executive Officer) or 1.5 times (in the case of each other Executive) the sum of the Executive's annual base salary and (B) 1.5 times (in the case of the Chief Executive Officer) or 1.0 times (in the case of each other Executive) the Executive's target annual bonus, in each case as in effect immediately prior to the date of termination (or, if higher, as in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• participation in the Company's group health and dental plans on the same terms as active employees (or, if such continuation is not permitted, a monthly cash payment equal to the applicable COBRA premium) for a period of 24 months (in the case of the Chief Executive Officer) or 18 months (in the case of each other Executive) following the date of termination

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• full accelerated vesting of all outstanding time-based equity awards held by the Executive as of the date of termination;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• full accelerated vesting of all outstanding performance-based equity awards held by the Executive as of the date of termination, with performance deemed achieved at the greater of target or actual performance through the most recently completed measurement period.

The severance benefits under each Severance Agreement are subject to the Executive's continued compliance with all applicable restrictive covenants, including confidentiality, non-competition, non-solicitation of employees, and non-solicitation of customers,

The foregoing description of the Severance Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Executive Severance Agreement (CEO-Tier 1) and the form of Executive Severance Agreement (Executive-Tier 2), copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 herein.

## Exhibit 10.1

**Exhibit 10.1**

**ACV AUCTIONS INC.**

**CHANGE IN CONTROL AND SEVERANCE AGREEMENT**

This Change in Control and Severance Agreement (the "***Agreement***") is made and entered into by and between George Chamoun ("***Executive***") and ACV Auctions Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "***Company***"), effective as of the later of (i) the latest date on the signature page of this Agreement and (ii) the date Executive's employment with the Company commences (the "***Effective Date***").

<u>RECITALS</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Compensation Committee (the "***Committee***") of the Board of Directors of the Company (the "***Board***") has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to assure that the Company will have the continued dedication and objectivity of Executive, notwithstanding the possibility, threat or occurrence of a Change in Control.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Committee believes that it is imperative to provide Executive with severance benefits upon Executive's termination of employment under certain circumstances to provide Executive with enhanced financial security, incentive and encouragement to remain with the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Executive and the Company are currently party to that certain Participation Agreement under the Company's Severance and Change in Control Plan, (the "***Prior Agreement***") and the Committee desires to continue to assure itself of the services of Executive on the Effective Date and thereafter by terminating the Prior Agreement in its entirety and entering into this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Certain capitalized terms used in the Agreement and not otherwise defined are defined in Section 7 below.

<u>AGREEMENT</u>

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of Executive's employment and the mutual covenants contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.<u>Term of Agreement</u>. The term of this Agreement and Executive's employment hereunder shall commence as of the Effective Date and shall continue until terminated in accordance with this Agreement (the "***Term***").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.<u>At-Will Employment</u>. The Company and Executive acknowledge that Executive's employment will be at-will, as defined under applicable law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.<u>Severance Benefits</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)<u>Termination by the Company Other than for Cause Outside the Change in Control Period</u>. If Executive's employment with the Company and its subsidiaries is terminated by the Company other than for Cause (and other than as a result of Executive's death or Disability) or Executive resigns for Good Reason, and such termination occurs outside the Change in Control Period, then, subject to Section 4, Executive will receive from the Company:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)<u>Base Salary Severance</u>. Cash severance payment equal to 150% of Executive's annual base salary as in effect immediately prior to the termination date payable in a lump sum on the Company's first payroll date following the effective date of the Release but no later than 74 days following the date of termination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)<u>Bonus Severance</u>. If Executive was employed by the Company or its subsidiaries for more than 182 days in the year in which the termination occurred, a lump sum cash payment equal to a prorated percentage of Executive's bonus for the fiscal year that includes the termination date based on actual achievement of the applicable performance criteria as measured at the end of such year, payable at the same time

------

annual bonuses are generally paid to similarly situated employees of the Company, but in no event later than March 15 of the year following the year of termination. The prorated percentage will be determined by dividing the number of days during the fiscal year for which Executive remained an employee of the Company or a subsidiary, by 365.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)<u>Time-Based Equity Awards</u>. Vesting of the portion of each (if any) of Executive's outstanding and unvested equity awards covering shares of the Company's common stock that are subject solely to time-based vesting (excluding any Performance-Based Awards, which shall be forfeited) (such awards "***Time-Based Awards***") that are scheduled to vest during the 18-month period following Executive's termination date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)<u>Continued Employee Benefits</u>. Continuation coverage under the terms of the Company medical benefit plan pursuant to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended ("***COBRA***"), for Executive and/or Executive's eligible dependents, subject to Executive timely electing COBRA coverage. Until the earliest of (A) 18 months from the date of Executive's termination, (B) Executive's eligibility for group medical plan benefits under any other employer's group medical plan, or (C) the cessation of Executive's continuation rights under COBRA, the Company will pay directly on Executive's behalf the monthly COBRA premiums (at the coverage levels in immediately prior to Executive's termination). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company determines in its sole discretion that it cannot provide the foregoing benefit without potentially violating, or being subject to an excise tax under, applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act), the Company will in lieu thereof provide payroll payments of the applicable premium amounts directly to Executive for the time period specified above. Such payments shall be paid on the Company's regular payroll dates. The payment in lieu of COBRA reimbursements will be subject to all applicable tax withholdings.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)<u>Termination by the Company Other than for Cause or by Executive for Good Reason During the Change in Control Period</u>. If during the Change in Control Period (A) Executive's employment with the Company and its subsidiaries is terminated by the Company other than for Cause (and other than as a result of Executive's death or Disability); or (B) Executive resigns for Good Reason, then, subject to Section 4, Executive will receive from the Company:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)<u>Cash Severance</u>. A lump sum cash severance payment, payable in a lump on the Company's first payroll date following the effective date of the Release but no later than 74 days following the date of termination, equal to (A) 200% of Executive's annual base salary as in effect immediately prior to the termination date (or, if greater, as in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control) and (B) 150% of Executive's target bonus for the fiscal year in which Executive's termination occurs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)<u>Vesting of Time-Based Equity Awards</u>. One hundred percent of Executive's outstanding and unvested Time-Based Awards will become vested in full.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)<u>Vesting of Performance-Based Equity Awards</u>. Executive's outstanding and unvested equity awards subject to performance-based vesting (excluding any Time-Based Awards) ("***Performance-Based Awards***") shall become vested based on the greater of (A) target performance or (B) actual performance through Executive's termination date, if measurable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)<u>Continued Employee Benefits</u>. Continuation coverage under the terms of the Company medical benefit plan pursuant to COBRA, for Executive and/or Executive's eligible dependents, subject to Executive timely electing COBRA coverage. Until the earliest of (A) 24 months from the date of Executive's termination, (B) Executive's eligibility for group medical plan benefits under any other employer's group medical plan, or (C) the cessation of Executive's continuation rights under COBRA, the Company will pay directly on Executive's behalf the monthly COBRA premiums (at the coverage levels in effect immediately prior to Executive's termination). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company determines in its sole discretion that it cannot provide the foregoing benefit without potentially violating, or being subject to an excise tax under, applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act), the Company will in lieu thereof provide payroll payments of the applicable premium amounts directly to Executive for the time period specified above. Such payments shall be paid on the Company's regular payroll dates. The payment in lieu of COBRA reimbursements will be subject to all applicable tax withholdings.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)<u>Equity Documents</u>. Except as provided in this Section 3, all Time-Based Awards and Performance-Based Awards remain subject to the terms of the Equity Plan; provided, however, in the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and those of the Equity Plan or award agreements thereunder, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)<u>Voluntary Resignation; Termination for Cause</u>. If Executive's employment with the Company and its subsidiaries terminates as a result of a voluntary resignation by Executive (other than for Good Reason during the Change in Control Period), or if Executive's employment is terminated by the Company for Cause, then Executive shall not be entitled to receive severance, benefits or accelerated vesting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)<u>Accrued Amounts</u>. Without regard to the reason for, or the timing of, Executive's termination of employment, the Company shall pay Executive:(i) any unpaid base salary due for periods prior to the date of termination, (ii) if applicable, any accrued and unused vacation, and (iii) all expenses incurred by Executive in connection with the business of the Company prior to the date of termination in accordance with the Company's business expense reimbursement policy. These payments shall be made promptly upon termination of Executive's employment and within the period of time mandated by law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)<u>Exclusive Remedy</u>. In the event of termination of Executive's employment as set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement during the Term, the provisions of Section 3 are intended to be and are exclusive and in lieu of any other rights or remedies to which Executive or the Company may otherwise be entitled, whether at law, tort, or contract, in equity or under this Agreement (other than the payment of accrued but unpaid wages, as required by law, or any unreimbursed reimbursable expenses). During the Term of this Agreement, Executive will not be entitled to benefits, compensation, or other payments or rights upon termination of employment, including under any offer letter, employment agreement, severance agreement or other agreement with the Company or its subsidiaries, other than those benefits expressly set forth in Section 3. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all severance and other benefits provided to Executive pursuant to Section 3 shall be reduced and/or offset by any amounts or benefits paid to Executive to satisfy the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act, 29 U.S.C. § 2101 et seq., as amended, and any applicable state plant or facility closing or mass layoff law (whether as damages, as payment of salary or other wages during an applicable notice period, or otherwise).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)<u>Transfer between Company and any Subsidiary</u>. For purposes of this Section 3, if Executive's employment relationship with the Company or any parent or subsidiary of the Company ceases, Executive will not, solely by virtue thereof, be determined to have been terminated for purposes of this Agreement if Executive continues to remain employed by the Company or any parent or subsidiary of the Company immediately thereafter (e.g., upon transfer of Executive's employment from the Company to a Company subsidiary or from a Company subsidiary to the Company).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.<u>Conditions to Receipt of Severance, Benefits and Equity Acceleration Benefits</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)<u>Release of Claims Agreement</u>. The receipt of any severance payments, benefits or accelerated vesting in Section 3 is subject to Executive signing, not revoking and complying with a separation agreement that includes without limitation, if requested by the Company, a noncompetition and employee and customer non-solicitation covenant that applies for up to 12 months following Executive's termination of employment, non-disparagement and reasonable post-termination cooperation obligations of Executive, and a release of claims, all in the form provided by the Company (the "***Release***"), which must become effective and irrevocable no later than the 60th day following Executive's termination of employment (the "***Release Deadline***"). If such separation agreement does not become effective and irrevocable by the Release Deadline, Executive will forfeit any right to severance payments, benefits or accelerated vesting under this Agreement. Any cash severance payments or benefits otherwise payable to Executive in a lump sum or otherwise between the termination date and the Release Deadline will be paid on or within 15 days (or such earlier date for such payment to qualify as a short-term deferral for purposes of Section 409A) following the Release Deadline, or, if later, such time as required by Section 5(a) and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Equity Plan, to the extent permitted under Section 409A, any equity awards that become vested in connection with Executive's termination of employment under this Agreement shall not be settled or become exercisable, as applicable, until the Release becomes effective in accordance with its terms. In no event will any severance payments, benefits or accelerated vesting be paid or provided until the Release actually becomes effective and irrevocable and, if the Release does not become effective in accordance with its terms on or prior to the Release Deadline, Executive's entitlement to any such severance payments, benefits and accelerated vesting under this Agreement shall be forfeited on the Release Deadline for no consideration payable to Executive.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)<u>Restrictive Covenants</u>. Executive's receipt of any severance payments, benefits and accelerated vesting under Section 3 will be subject to Executive continuing to comply with the terms of any agreements between Executive and the Company concerning inventions, confidentiality or other restrictive covenants including the Employee Confidential Information and Invention Assignment Agreement between the Company and Executive (the "***Restrictive Covenant Agreement***").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.<u>Section 409A</u>.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Deferred Payments will be paid or otherwise provided until Executive has a "separation from service" within the meaning of Section 409A. In addition, if Executive is a "specified employee" within the meaning of Section 409A at the time of Executive's separation from service (other than due to death), then the Deferred Payments, if any, that are payable within the first six months following Executive's separation from service, will become payable on the first payroll date that occurs on or after the date six months and one day following the date of Executive's separation from service. All subsequent Deferred Payments, if any, will be payable in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if Executive dies following Executive's separation from service, but before the six month anniversary of the separation from service, then any payments delayed in accordance with this paragraph will be payable in a lump sum as soon as administratively practicable after the date of Executive's death and all other Deferred Payments will be payable in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit. Each payment and benefit payable under this Agreement is intended to constitute a separate payment under Section 1.409A-2(b)(2) of the Treasury Regulations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)If the Company determines that any severance payments under this Agreement constitute Deferred Payments, and the Executive's termination occurs at a time during the calendar year when the Release could become effective in the calendar year following the calendar year in which the such termination occurs, then regardless of when the Release is returned to the Company and becomes effective, the Release will not be deemed effective, solely for purposes of the timing of payment of severance under this Agreement, any earlier than Release Deadline. If any payments under this Agreement constitute Deferred Payments, then except to the extent that severance payments are delayed pursuant to Section 5(a), on the first regular payroll date following the effective date of the Release, the Company shall (1) pay the Executive a lump sum amount equal to the sum of the severance payments that Executive would otherwise have received through such payroll date but for the delay in payment related to the effectiveness of the Release and (2) commence paying the balance, if any, of the severance in accordance with the applicable payment schedule.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Payments under this Agreement are intended to comply with, or be exempt from, the requirements of Section 409A so that none of the severance payments and benefits to be provided hereunder will be subject to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities or ambiguous terms herein will be interpreted to so comply. Specifically, the payments hereunder are intended to be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A under the "short-term" deferral rule set forth in Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) of the Treasury Regulations or as payments made as a result of an involuntary separation from service, as applicable. The Company and Executive agree to work together in good faith to consider amendments to this Agreement and to take such reasonable actions which are necessary, appropriate or desirable to avoid imposition of any additional tax or income recognition before actual payment to Executive under Section 409A. The Company makes no representation or warranty to Executive and in no event will the Company reimburse Executive or any other person for any taxes or other costs that may be imposed on Executive as a result of Section 409A or any other law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)For the avoidance of doubt, any amount of the severance payment or benefit provided for by Section 3(a) or 3(b) to which Executive would have been entitled under the Prior Agreement in the absence of this Agreement, assuming the conditions resulting in entitlement to such benefits had occurred shall be paid at the same time and in the same form as provided in the Prior Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.<u>Limitation on Payments</u>. In the event that the severance, benefits or accelerated vesting provided for in this Agreement or otherwise payable to Executive (i) constitute "parachute payments" within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and (ii) would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the "***Excise Tax***"), then Executive's benefits under this Agreement shall be either:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)delivered in full, or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)delivered as to such lesser extent which would result in no portion of such benefits being subject to the Excise Tax, whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the Excise Tax, results in the receipt by Executive on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of benefits, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such benefits may be taxable under Section 4999 of the Code. If a reduction in severance and other benefits constituting "parachute payments" is necessary so that benefits are delivered to a lesser extent, reduction will occur in the following order: (1) reduction of cash payments, (2) cancellation of equity awards granted within the 12-month period prior to a "change of control" (as determined under Section 280G of the Code) that are deemed to have been granted contingent upon the change of control (as determined under Section 280G of the Code), (3) cancellation of accelerated vesting of equity awards, and (4) reduction of continued employee benefits. In the event that accelerated vesting of equity awards is to be cancelled, such vesting acceleration will be cancelled in the reverse chronological order of the award grant dates.

------

Unless the Company and Executive otherwise agree in writing, any determination required under this Section 6 shall be made in writing by an outside expert engaged by the Company and mutually agreed upon by the Board and Executive (the "***Accountants***"), whose determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Executive and the Company for all purposes. For purposes of making the calculations required by this Section 6, the Accountants may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code. The Company and Executive shall furnish to the Accountants such information and documents as the Accountants may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Section 6. The Company shall bear all costs the Accountants may reasonably incur in connection with any calculations contemplated by this Section 6.

**Exhibit 10.2**

**ACV AUCTIONS INC.**

**CHANGE IN CONTROL AND SEVERANCE AGREEMENT**

This Change in Control and Severance Agreement (the "***Agreement***") is made and entered into by and between [●] ("***Executive***") and ACV Auctions Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "***Company***"), effective as of the later of (i) the latest date on the signature page of this Agreement and (ii) the date Executive's employment with the Company commences (the "***Effective Date***").

<u>RECITALS</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Compensation Committee (the "***Committee***") of the Board of Directors of the Company (the "***Board***") has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to assure that the Company will have the continued dedication and objectivity of Executive, notwithstanding the possibility, threat or occurrence of a Change in Control.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Committee believes that it is imperative to provide Executive with severance benefits upon Executive's termination of employment under certain circumstances to provide Executive with enhanced financial security, incentive and encouragement to remain with the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Executive and the Company are currently party to that certain Participation Agreement under the Company's Severance and Change in Control Plan, (the "***Prior Agreement***") and the Committee desires to continue to assure itself of the services of Executive on the Effective Date and thereafter by terminating the Prior Agreement in its entirety and entering into this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Certain capitalized terms used in the Agreement and not otherwise defined are defined in Section 7 below.

<u>AGREEMENT</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.<u>Term of Agreement</u>. The term of this Agreement and Executive's employment hereunder shall commence as of the Effective Date and shall continue until terminated in accordance with this Agreement (the "***Term***").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.<u>At-Will Employment</u>. The Company and Executive acknowledge that Executive's employment will be at-will, as defined under applicable law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.<u>Severance Benefits</u>.

If Executive's employment with the Company and its subsidiaries is terminated by the Company other than for Cause (and other than as a result of Executive's death or Disability), and such termination occurs outside the Change in Control Period, then, subject to Section 4, Executive will receive from the Company:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)<u>Base Salary Severance</u>. Cash severance payment equal to 100% of Executive's annual base salary as in effect immediately prior to the termination date payable in a lump sum on the Company's first payroll date following the effective date of the Release but no later than 74 days following the date of termination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)<u>Bonus Severance</u>. If Executive was employed by the Company or its subsidiaries for more than 182 days in the year in which the termination occurred, a lump sum cash payment equal to a prorated percentage of Executive's bonus for the fiscal year that includes the termination date based on actual achievement of the applicable performance criteria as measured at the end of such year, payable at the same time annual bonuses are generally paid to similarly situated employees of the Company, but in no event later than March

------

15 of the year following the year of termination. The prorated percentage will be determined by dividing the number of days during the fiscal year for which Executive remained an employee of the Company or a subsidiary, by 365.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)<u>Time-Based Equity Awards</u>. Vesting of the portion of each (if any) of Executive's outstanding and unvested equity awards covering shares of the Company's common stock that are subject solely to time-based vesting (excluding any Performance-Based Awards, which shall be forfeited) (such awards "***Time-Based Awards***") that are scheduled to vest during the 12-month period following Executive's termination date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)<u>Continued Employee Benefits</u>.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company determines in its sole discretion that it cannot provide the foregoing benefit without potentially violating, or being subject to an excise tax under, applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act), the Company will in lieu thereof provide payroll payments of the applicable premium amounts directly to Executive for the time period specified above. Such payments shall be paid on the Company's regular payroll dates. The payment in lieu of COBRA reimbursements will be subject to all applicable tax withholdings.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)<u>Termination by the Company Other than for Cause or by Executive for Good Reason During the Change in Control Period</u>. If during the Change in Control Period (A) Executive's employment with the Company and its subsidiaries is terminated by the Company other than for Cause (and other than as a result of Executive's death or Disability); or (B) Executive resigns for Good Reason, then, subject to Section 4, Executive will receive from the Company:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)<u>Cash Severance</u>. A lump sum cash severance payment, payable in a lump on the Company's first payroll date following the effective date of the Release but no later than 74 days following the date of termination, equal to (A) 150% of Executive's annual base salary as in effect immediately prior to the termination date (or, if greater, as in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control) and (B) 100% of Executive's target bonus for the fiscal year in which Executive's termination occurs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)<u>Vesting of Time-Based Equity Awards</u>. One hundred percent of Executive's outstanding and unvested Time-Based Awards will become vested in full.

Executive's outstanding and unvested equity awards subject to performance-based vesting (excluding any Time-Based Awards) ("***Performance-Based Awards***") shall become vested based on the greater of (A) target performance or (B) actual performance through Executive's termination date, if measurable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)<u>Continued Employee Benefits</u>. Continuation coverage under the terms of the Company medical benefit plan pursuant to COBRA, for Executive and/or Executive's eligible dependents, subject to Executive timely electing COBRA coverage. Until the earliest of (A) 18 months from the date of Executive's termination, (B) Executive's eligibility for group medical plan benefits under any other employer's group medical plan, or (C) the cessation of Executive's continuation rights under COBRA, the Company will pay directly on Executive's behalf the monthly COBRA premiums (at the coverage levels in effect immediately prior to Executive's termination). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company determines in its sole discretion that it cannot provide the foregoing benefit without potentially violating, or being subject to an excise tax under, applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act), the Company will in lieu thereof provide payroll payments of the applicable premium amounts directly to Executive for the time period specified above. Such payments shall be paid on the Company's regular payroll dates. The payment in lieu of COBRA reimbursements will be subject to all applicable tax withholdings.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)<u>Equity Documents</u>. Except as provided in this Section 3, all Time-Based Awards and Performance-Based Awards remain subject to the terms of the Equity Plan; provided, however, in the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and those of the Equity Plan or award agreements thereunder, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)<u>Voluntary Resignation; Termination for Cause</u>. If Executive's employment with the Company and its subsidiaries terminates as a result of a voluntary resignation by Executive (other than for Good

------

Reason during the Change in Control Period), or if Executive's employment is terminated by the Company for Cause, then Executive shall not be entitled to receive severance, benefits or accelerated vesting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)<u>Accrued Amounts</u>. Without regard to the reason for, or the timing of, Executive's termination of employment, the Company shall pay Executive:(i) any unpaid base salary due for periods prior to the date of termination, (ii) if applicable, any accrued and unused vacation, and (iii) all expenses incurred by Executive in connection with the business of the Company prior to the date of termination in accordance with the Company's business expense reimbursement policy. These payments shall be made promptly upon termination of Executive's employment and within the period of time mandated by law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)<u>Exclusive Remedy</u>. In the event of termination of Executive's employment as set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement during the Term, the provisions of Section 3 are intended to be and are exclusive and in lieu of any other rights or remedies to which Executive or the Company may otherwise be entitled, whether at law, tort, or contract, in equity or under this Agreement (other than the payment of accrued but unpaid wages, as required by law, or any unreimbursed reimbursable expenses). During the Term of this Agreement, Executive will not be entitled to benefits, compensation, or other payments or rights upon termination of employment, including under any offer letter, employment agreement, severance agreement or other agreement with the Company or its subsidiaries, other than those benefits expressly set forth in Section 3. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all severance and other benefits provided to Executive pursuant to Section 3 shall be reduced and/or offset by any amounts or benefits paid to Executive to satisfy the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act, 29 U.S.C. § 2101 et seq., as amended, and any applicable state plant or facility closing or mass layoff law (whether as damages, as payment of salary or other wages during an applicable notice period, or otherwise).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)<u>Transfer between Company and any Subsidiary</u>. For purposes of this Section 3, if Executive's employment relationship with the Company or any parent or subsidiary of the Company ceases, Executive will not, solely by virtue thereof, be determined to have been terminated for purposes of this Agreement if Executive continues to remain employed by the Company or any parent or subsidiary of the Company immediately thereafter (e.g., upon transfer of Executive's employment from the Company to a Company subsidiary or from a Company subsidiary to the Company).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.<u>Conditions to Receipt of Severance, Benefits and Equity Acceleration Benefits</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)<u>Release of Claims Agreement</u>. The receipt of any severance payments, benefits or accelerated vesting in Section 3 is subject to Executive signing, not revoking and complying with a separation agreement that includes without limitation, if requested by the Company, a noncompetition and employee and customer non-solicitation covenant that applies for up to 12 months following Executive's termination of employment, non-disparagement and reasonable post-termination cooperation obligations of Executive, and a release of claims, all in the form provided by the Company (the "***Release***"), which must become effective and irrevocable no later than the 60th day following Executive's termination of employment (the "***Release Deadline***"). If such separation agreement does not become effective and irrevocable by the Release Deadline, Executive will forfeit any right to severance payments, benefits or accelerated vesting under this Agreement. Any cash severance payments or benefits otherwise payable to Executive in a lump sum or otherwise between the termination date and the Release Deadline will be paid on or within 15 days (or such earlier date for such payment to qualify as a short-term deferral for purposes of Section 409A) following the Release Deadline, or, if later, such time as required by Section 5(a) and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Equity Plan, to the extent permitted under Section 409A, any equity awards that become vested in connection with Executive's termination of employment under this Agreement shall not be settled or become exercisable, as applicable, until the Release becomes effective in accordance with its terms. In no event will any severance payments, benefits or accelerated vesting be paid or provided until the Release actually becomes effective and irrevocable and, if the Release does not become effective in accordance with its terms on or prior to the Release Deadline, Executive's entitlement to any such severance payments, benefits and accelerated vesting under this Agreement shall be forfeited on the Release Deadline for no consideration payable to Executive.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)<u>Restrictive Covenants</u>. Executive's receipt of any severance payments, benefits and accelerated vesting under Section 3 will be subject to Executive continuing to comply with the terms of any agreements between Executive and the Company concerning inventions, confidentiality or other restrictive covenants including the Employee Confidential Information and Invention Assignment Agreement between the Company and Executive (the "***Restrictive Covenant Agreement***").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.<u>Section 409A</u>.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Deferred Payments will be paid or otherwise provided until Executive has a "separation from service" within the meaning of Section 409A. In addition, if Executive is a "specified employee" within the meaning of Section 409A at the time of Executive's separation from service (other than due to death), then the Deferred Payments, if any, that are payable within the first six months following Executive's separation from service, will become payable on the first payroll date that occurs on or after the date six months and one day following the date of Executive's separation from service. All subsequent Deferred Payments, if any, will be payable in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if Executive dies following Executive's separation from service, but before the six month anniversary of the separation from service, then any payments delayed in accordance with this paragraph will be payable in a lump sum as soon as administratively practicable after the date of Executive's death and all other Deferred Payments will be payable in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit. Each payment and benefit payable under this Agreement is intended to constitute a separate payment under Section 1.409A-2(b)(2) of the Treasury Regulations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)If the Company determines that any severance payments under this Agreement constitute Deferred Payments, and the Executive's termination occurs at a time during the calendar year when the Release could become effective in the calendar year following the calendar year in which the such termination occurs, then regardless of when the Release is returned to the Company and becomes effective, the Release will not be deemed effective, solely for purposes of the timing of payment of severance under this Agreement, any earlier than Release Deadline. If any payments under this Agreement constitute Deferred Payments, then except to the extent that severance payments are delayed pursuant to Section 5(a), on the first regular payroll date following the effective date of the Release, the Company shall (1) pay the Executive a lump sum amount equal to the sum of the severance payments that Executive would otherwise have received through such payroll date but for the delay in payment related to the effectiveness of the Release and (2) commence paying the balance, if any, of the severance in accordance with the applicable payment schedule.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Payments under this Agreement are intended to comply with, or be exempt from, the requirements of Section 409A so that none of the severance payments and benefits to be provided hereunder will be subject to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities or ambiguous terms herein will be interpreted to so comply. Specifically, the payments hereunder are intended to be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A under the "short-term" deferral rule set forth in Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) of the Treasury Regulations or as payments made as a result of an involuntary separation from service, as applicable. The Company and Executive agree to work together in good faith to consider amendments to this Agreement and to take such reasonable actions which are necessary, appropriate or desirable to avoid imposition of any additional tax or income recognition before actual payment to Executive under Section 409A. The Company makes no representation or warranty to Executive and in no event will the Company reimburse Executive or any other person for any taxes or other costs that may be imposed on Executive as a result of Section 409A or any other law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)For the avoidance of doubt, any amount of the severance payment or benefit provided for by Section 3(a) or 3(b) to which Executive would have been entitled under the Prior Agreement in the absence of this Agreement, assuming the conditions resulting in entitlement to such benefits had occurred shall be paid at the same time and in the same form as provided in the Prior Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.<u>Limitation on Payments</u>. In the event that the severance, benefits or accelerated vesting provided for in this Agreement or otherwise payable to Executive (i) constitute "parachute payments" within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and (ii) would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the "***Excise Tax***"), then Executive's benefits under this Agreement shall be either:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)delivered in full, or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)delivered as to such lesser extent which would result in no portion of such benefits being subject to the Excise Tax, whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the Excise Tax, results in the receipt by Executive on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of benefits, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such benefits may be taxable under Section 4999 of the Code. If a reduction in severance and other benefits constituting "parachute payments" is necessary so that benefits are delivered to a lesser extent, reduction will occur in the following order: (1) reduction of cash payments, (2) cancellation of equity awards granted within the 12-month period prior to a "change of control" (as determined under Section 280G of the Code) that are deemed to have been granted contingent upon the change of control (as determined under Section 280G of the Code), (3) cancellation of accelerated vesting of equity awards, and (4) reduction of continued employee benefits. In the event that accelerated vesting of equity awards is to be cancelled, such vesting acceleration will be cancelled in the reverse chronological order of the award grant dates.

------

Unless the Company and Executive otherwise agree in writing, any determination required under this Section 6 shall be made in writing by an outside expert engaged by the Company and mutually agreed upon by the Board and Executive (the "***Accountants***"), whose determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Executive and the Company for all purposes. For purposes of making the calculations required by this Section 6, the Accountants may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code. The Company and Executive shall furnish to the Accountants such information and documents as the Accountants may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Section 6. The Company shall bear all costs the Accountants may reasonably incur in connection with any calculations contemplated by this Section 6.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.<u>Definition of Terms. The following terms referred to in this Agreement will have the following meanings</u>:

The Administrator will establish rules and procedures, consistent with the Agreement and with ERISA, as necessary and appropriate in carrying out its responsibilities in reviewing benefit claims.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)<u>Exhaustion of Remedies</u>.
