Our Company

Business Overview

PARTS iD, Inc. is a technology-driven, digital commerce company on a mission to reinvent how people shop for vehicle parts and accessories by providing customers a differentiated customer experience with advanced product search capabilities, proprietary product options, exclusive shop by service type functionality, visually inspired browsing, easy product discovery, rich custom content, an exhaustive product catalog and competitive prices.

We deliver this customer experience vision using our purpose-built technology platform and user interface (UI), proprietary parts and accessories fitment data with more than fourteen billion product and fitment data points powered with machine learning, and a comprehensive product catalog spanning over eighteen million parts and accessories from over one thousand suppliers we partner with across eight verticals.

Our technology platform integrates software engineering with catalog management, data intelligence, mining, and analytics, along with user interface development which utilizes distinctive rules-based parts fitment software capabilities. To handle the ever-growing need for accurate product and parts data, we use cutting-edge computational and software engineering techniques, including Bayesian classification, to enhance and improve data records and product information, and ultimately to contribute to the overall development of a rich and engaging user experience. Furthermore, our technology platform is architected to support much more than just car parts and accessories. We believe that we have demonstrated the flexibility and scalability of our technology by launching seven adjacent verticals, including BOATiD.com, MOTORCYCLEiD.com, CAMPERiD.com, and others in August 2018, all of which leverage the same proprietary technology platform and data architecture.

We believe an increasing portion of the dollars spent on vehicle parts and accessories will be spent online and that there is an opportunity for acquiring more market share in that realm. Our platform business model is designed to grow our net revenue by acquiring new customers as well as stimulating repeat purchases from our existing customers. Through paid and unpaid advertising, we attract new and repeat customers to our sites. We attempt to turn these customers into repeat customers by creating a seamless shopping experience across their entire journey — offering best-in-class product discovery, purchasing, fulfillment and customer service.

There are several key competitive strengths that we believe highlight the attractiveness of our platform business model and underscore how PARTS iD, Inc. is differentiated from its competition, including:

The Company’s distinctive technology, customer-first UI, and proprietary fitment data that enables a differentiated shopping experience for the automotive parts consumer. Unlike any other consumer product category, we believe that the success or failure of selling automotive parts, and especially aftermarket accessories at scale, comes down to rich and comprehensive fitment data. We believe that the Company has been successful at developing its own proprietary fitment database which is not licensed for use to any other person or entity.

We believe that the Company’s product catalog of over eighteen million products and over five thousand brands is unrivaled. Our comprehensive catalog is enriched with over fourteen billion data points, advanced 3D imagery, in-depth product descriptions, customer reviews, installation and fitment guides, as well as other rich custom content specifically catering to the needs of the automotive aftermarket industry and is further complemented by our highly trained and specialized customer service.

The Company’s proprietary and asset-light fulfillment model has enabled us to grow organically without external capital. This platform model is enabled by a network of over one thousand suppliers which we have cultivated relationships with and integrated over the last fifteen years. This has enabled us to further scale our catalog size and to add adjacent verticals which allows us to offer a broader array of product lines over our competitors. Furthermore, our geo-sourcing fulfillment algorithm factors in real-time inventory when available, customer proximity, shipping cost, and profitability to optimize product sourcing. This algorithmic approach allows us to increase fill rate and delivery speed.

The Company’s differentiated customer experience is a result of rich content, wide product range with ease of selection, proprietary fitment data, and highly trained customer service representatives, providing a data-driven engagement platform for discovery and inspiration. This is demonstrated by:

the Company’s Net Promoter Score continues to be between 67.3 for the third quarter of 2022 despite the global supply chain disruptions (primarily due to the COVID-19 pandemic) which began in 2021 and continues today;

the Company’s overall product return rate across all eight verticals was approximately 6.3% for the third quarter of 2022 versus industry averages of more than 20%; and

repeat customer revenue was 34.5% of total revenue for the third quarter of 2022.

The Company has invested fifteen years in building its proprietary platform and we believe that our investment in technology and data has allowed us to expand into adjacent verticals, leveraging a capital-efficient just-in-time inventory model to offer our consumers an extensive selection and customer experience.

Implications of Being a Smaller Reporting Company and No Longer Being an Emerging Growth Company

We are a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act’) and have elected to take advantage of certain of the scaled disclosure requirements available to smaller reporting companies. As of December 31, 2022, the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the completion of Legacy’s initial public offering on November 8, 2017, we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”).

Since we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” we cannot take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to emerging growth companies, including, but not limited to, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. Additionally, since we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” we can no longer elect to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies (as defined under Section 2(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2022, the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”). However, as a “smaller reporting company,” we are not required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

Corporate History

On November 20, 2020 (the “Closing Date”), Legacy Acquisition Corp., our predecessor company (“Legacy”), consummated the previously announced merger pursuant to that certain Business Combination Agreement, dated September 18, 2020 (the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among Legacy, Excel Merger Sub I, Inc., a Delaware corporation and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and directly owned subsidiary of Merger Sub 2 (as defined below) (“Merger Sub 1”), Excel Merger Sub II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub 2”), Onyx Enterprises Int’l, Corp., a New Jersey corporation (“Onyx”), and Shareholder Representative Services LLC, a Colorado limited liability company, solely in its capacity as the stockholder representative pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement.

At the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (the “Closing”), (a) Merger Sub 1 merged with and into Onyx (the “First Merger”), with Onyx surviving as a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Merger Sub 2, and (b) Onyx merged with and into Merger Sub 2 (the “Second Merger” and, together with the First Merger, the “Mergers”), with Merger Sub 2 surviving as direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the Mergers, collectively with the other transactions described in the Business Combination Agreement, the “Business Combination”). On the Closing Date, (i) Legacy changed its name from Legacy Acquisition Corp. to PARTS iD, Inc. and listed its shares of common stock on the NYSE American under the symbol “ID” and (ii) Merger Sub 2 changed its name to PARTS iD, LLC (“PARTS iD, LLC”).

For more information on the Business Combination Agreement, Onyx, and Legacy, please see the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 27, 2020 and the Company’s Definitive Information Statement on Schedule 14C filed with the SEC pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act on October 30, 2020 (the “Information Statement”).

JGB Loan and Security Agreement

As previously disclosed, on October 21, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), we and our subsidiary, PARTS iD, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (together with the Company, the “Borrower’), entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with JGB Collateral, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“JGB”), in its capacity as collateral agent and the several financial institutions or entities that from time to time become parties to the Loan Agreement as lenders (collectively, the “Lender”).

The Loan Agreement provides for term loans in an aggregate principal amount of up to $11.0 million under two tranches. The tranches consist of (i) a first tranche consisting of term loans in the aggregate principal amount of $5.5 million, of which the entire amount was funded to the Company on the Closing Date (the “Initial Term Loan Advance”); and (ii) a second tranche consisting of term loans in the aggregate principal amount of an additional $5.5 million, which may funded to the Company by the Lender in its sole and absolute discretion (subject to the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement) until the date that is six months after the Closing Date (the “Second Term Loan Advance” and together with the Initial Term Loan Advance, the “Term Loan Advances”). Each of the Term Loan Advances will be issued with an original issue discount of $500,000.

The outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan Advances bear interest at a rate of 8.0% per annum. Accrued interest is payable monthly following the funding of each Term Loan Advance. The Company is required to repay the aggregate principal balance of the Term Loan Advances in monthly installments of $183,000, together with the monthly interest payment, commencing on April 30, 2023, and continuing on the last Business Day (as defined in the Loan Agreement) of each month thereafter, through October 31, 2025 (the “Maturity Date”); provided, however, if the Second Term Loan Advance is advanced by the Lender to the Company, the amount of the monthly installment payments shall automatically be increased to $366,000. On the Maturity Date, the entire principal balance of the Term Loan Advances, plus any accrued but unpaid interest thereon, will be due and payable.

The Company may, at its option prepay the Term Loan Advances in full or in part with each prepayment subject to an aggregate minimum amount of $1.0 million and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan Advances outstanding).

The Loan Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, including covenants by the Company limiting additional indebtedness, liens, mergers and consolidations, substantial asset sales, investments and loans, certain corporate changes, and distributions. In addition, the Loan Agreement contains financial covenants, including but not limited to, maintaining a certain quarterly EBITDA (as defined in the Loan Agreement) and a unrestricted cash minimum requirement of $2.0 million (for the Initial Term Loan Advance) and $4.0 million (for the Second Term Loan Advance), subject to certain adjustments as set forth in the Loan Agreement.

The Loan Agreement provides for events of default customary for term loans of this type, including but not limited to non-payment, breaches or defaults in the performance of covenants, insolvency, bankruptcy and the occurrence of a material adverse effect on the Company.

As collateral for the obligations, the Company has granted to the Lender a senior security interest in all of Company’s right, title, and interest in, to and under all of Company’s property (inclusive of intellectual property), except for the Excluded Collateral (as defined in the Loan Agreement).

In connection with the entry into the Loan Agreement, with respect to the Initial Term Loan Advance, the Company issued to the Lender a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase 1,000,000 shares (the “Warrant Shares”) of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”). The Warrant will be exercisable for a period of five years from the date of issuance at a per-share exercise price equal to $2.00, subject to certain adjustments as specified in the Warrant. If the Company seeks and obtains the Second Loan Term Advance in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement, the Company will issue another Warrant to the Lender to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock on the same terms and conditions as the Warrant issued with respect to the Initial Term Loan Advance. The Warrant provides for customary shelf and piggyback registration rights with respect to the Warrant Shares. The issuance of the Warrant to the Lender was made in reliance on the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

Any forward-looking statement is not a guarantee of future performance and actual results could differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statement.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risk factors included in, or incorporated by reference into, this prospectus, as updated by our subsequent filings under the Exchange Act before acquiring any of such securities. Before making any investment decision, you should carefully consider these risks as well as other information we include or incorporate by reference in this prospectus. For more information, see the section entitled “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Incorporation of Documents by Reference” elsewhere in this prospectus. These risks could materially affect our business, results of operations or financial condition and affect the value of our securities. You could lose all or part of your investment. Additionally, the risks and uncertainties discussed in this prospectus or in any document incorporated by reference into this prospectus are not the only risks and uncertainties that we face, and additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our business, results of operations or financial condition.

Risks Related to the Company’s Finances

We have experienced significant declines in revenue and are not generating sufficient cash flows to cover our operating expenses, and any failure to obtain additional capital will jeopardize our operations.

Other than the funding provided by JGB in the fourth quarter of 2022, we currently do not have any other committed sources of capital and we have very limited liquidity. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had a working capital deficiency of approximately $36.7 million and has continued to experience declining revenues. While we have operated with a working capital deficiency since our inception, this combined with declined profitability had caused us to consume approximately $14.4 million in cash from operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Since then, we have been unable to generate sufficient cash from our operating activities or obtain sufficient financing to cover our operating expenses to date. If our revenues do not increase and continue to decline, we may be forced to discontinue our operations. In addition, we have experienced recent unfavorable changes in our credit terms from our vendors due to our inability to generate sufficient cash flows to cover our operating expenses. We need to raise additional capital in the near future, which may not be available on reasonable terms or at all, to continue funding the operations and development of our business. Even if we are able to raise additional capital, we may raise capital by selling equity securities, which will be dilutive to our existing stockholders. If we incur indebtedness, costs of financing may be extremely high, and we will be subject to default risks associated with such indebtedness, which may harm our ability to continue the Company’s operations. We cannot provide any assurance that we will be able to generate sufficient revenue and positive cash flow to successfully continue our business operations.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

Concentration of ownership among certain stockholders may prevent other stockholders from influencing significant corporate decisions.

As of September 30, 2022, each of Prashant Pathak, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) and a director and President of Onyx Enterprises Canada Inc., Roman Gerashenko and Stanislav Royzenshteyn, beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, approximately 41.9%, 17.8%, and 17.8%, respectively, of our outstanding common stock, and our directors and executive officers as a group beneficially owned approximately 46.3% of our outstanding common stock. As a result of their current holdings, these stockholders will be able to exercise a significant level of control over all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors, any amendment of our Certificate of Incorporation and approval of significant corporate transactions. This control could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control or changes in management and will make the approval of certain transactions difficult or impossible without the support of these stockholders.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market could cause the price of our common stock to fall.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market or the perception that these sales might occur could depress the market price of our common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. We are unable to predict the effect that sales may have on the prevailing market price of our common stock. In addition, the sale of substantial amounts of our common stock could adversely impact its price.

The shares of common stock covered by resale registration statements that we have filed, pursuant to which certain stockholders may sell their shares, represent approximately 88.7% of our outstanding common stock as of September 30, 2022. Sales, or the potential sales, of substantial numbers of shares in the public market by those selling stockholders upon termination of applicable contractual lock-up agreements, could increase the volatility of the market price of our common stock or adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

We have never paid dividends on our common stock, and we do not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future.

We have never paid dividends on any of our capital stock and currently intend to retain any future earnings to fund the growth of our business. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be at the discretion of the Board and will depend on our financial condition, operating results, capital requirements, general business conditions and other factors that the Board may deem relevant. As a result, capital appreciation, if any, of our Common Stock will be the sole source of gain for the foreseeable future.

The market price of our common stock may be volatile and adversely affected by several factors.

The market price of our common stock could fluctuate significantly in response to various factors and events, including:

●

our ability to execute our business plan;

●

operating results below expectations;

	●	changes in credit terms and credit holds on our accounts imposed by our key product vendors, credit card providers, or merchant service providers, which we are currently experiencing, due to sustained declining revenue and the inability to pay obligations as they become due;

	●	the availability of the products offered in our product catalogue and its effect on our revenue growth;

	●	announcements of technological innovations or new products by us or our competitors;

●

economic and other external factors, including the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic;

●

our issuance of additional securities, including debt or equity or a combination thereof, necessary;

●

period-to-period fluctuations in our financial results; and

●

whether an active trading market in our common stock is maintained.

In addition, the securities markets have from time-to-time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock. In the past, stockholders have instituted securities class action litigation following periods of market volatility. If we become involved in securities litigation, we could incur substantial costs, and our resources and the attention of management could be diverted from our business.

Risks Related to Our Being a Public Company

We incur significant costs and devote substantial management time as a result of operating as a public company.

As a public company, we incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses. For example, we are required to comply with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the Dodd Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, as well as rules and regulations subsequently implemented by the SEC and the New York Stock Exchange, including the establishment and maintenance of effective disclosure and financial controls and changes in corporate governance practices. Compliance with these rules and regulations increases our legal and financial compliance costs, makes some activities more difficult, time consuming or costly and increases demand on our systems and resources, particularly since we are no longer an “emerging growth company.” In order to maintain and, if required, improve our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, significant resources and management oversight may be required. As a result, management’s attention may be diverted from other business concerns, which could adversely affect our business and operating results.

USE OF PROCEEDS

This prospectus relates to shares of our common stock that may be offered and sold from time to time by the selling stockholders. We will receive no proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock by the selling stockholders in this offering.

However, we will receive proceeds from the exercise of the Warrant by JGB. We estimate that the maximum proceeds that we may receive from the exercise of the warrants, assuming all the warrants are exercised at their current exercise prices, will be $2,000,000. We do not know, however, whether the Warrant will be exercised or, if the Warrant is exercised, when it will be exercised or the price at which it will be exercised. It is possible that the Warrant will expire and never be exercised, or that the current exercise price of the Warrant will be reduced as a result of subsequent issuances of our securities or other events that would trigger applicable anti-dilution adjustments under the Warrant. As discussed in the “Description of the Warrant” section of this prospectus, there are circumstances under which the warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis. In these circumstances, even if the Warrant is exercised, we may not receive any proceeds, or the proceeds that we do receive may be significantly less than what we might expect.

We currently intend to use the net proceeds from any exercise of the Warrant for general corporate purposes, which may include working capital, capital expenditures, the repayment or refinancing of existing indebtedness mergers and acquisitions and other investments. We have not determined the amounts we plan to spend on any of the areas listed above or the timing of these expenditures. As a result, our management will have broad discretion to allocate the net proceeds from the exercise of the Warrant.

SELLING STOCKHOLDER

The selling stockholder is offering under this prospectus up to 1,000,000 shares of our common stock issuable by us to assignees and affiliates of JGB Partners LP upon the exercise of the Warrant, the terms of which are described in this prospectus under the caption “Description of the Warrant.” The selling stockholder may, from time to time, offer and sell pursuant to this prospectus any or all of the shares offered hereby. The selling stockholder may sell some, all or none of their shares. We do not know how long the selling stockholder will hold the shares before selling them, and we currently have no agreements, arrangements or understandings with the selling stockholder regarding the sale of any of the shares or the exercise of the warrants.

The following table presents information regarding the selling stockholder and the shares that it may offer and sell from time to time under this prospectus. The table is prepared based on information supplied to us by the selling stockholder. None of the selling stockholders, nor any affiliate of a selling stockholder, has held a position or office, or had any other material relationship, with us or any of our predecessors or affiliates. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d) promulgated by the SEC under the Exchange Act. The percentage of shares beneficially owned prior to the offering is based on 34,114,449 shares of our common stock actually outstanding as of November 7, 2022.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The selling stockholder of the shares offered hereby and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their securities covered hereby on the NYSE American or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the securities are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A Selling Stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling securities:

●

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

●

block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

●

purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

●

an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

●

privately negotiated transactions;

●

settlement of short sales;

●

in transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such securities at a stipulated price per security;

●

through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

●

a combination of any such methods of sale; or

●

any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

The selling stockholder may also sell securities under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholder may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholder (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA IM-2440.

In connection with the sale of the securities or interests therein, the selling stockholder may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholder may also sell securities short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling stockholder may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

Any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the securities may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. The selling stockholdes has informed the Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.

The Company is required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company incident to the registration of the securities. The Company has agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

Any securities covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus. The selling stockholders have advised us that there is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the resale securities by the selling stockholders.

We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the securities may be resold by the selling stockholders without registration and without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the securities have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale securities will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale securities covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the selling stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of the common stock by the selling stockholder or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling stockholder and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

The following summary of the material terms of our capital stock is not intended to be a complete summary of the rights and preferences of such securities, and is qualified by reference to our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (our “Certificate of Incorporation”) and our Amended and Restated Bylaws (our “Bylaws”), which are exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. We urge to you read each of our Certificate of Incorporation and our Bylaws in their entirety for a complete description of the rights and preferences of our common stock and preferred stock.

Authorized and Outstanding Stock

Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of 111,000,000 shares of capital stock, $0.0001 par value per share, consisting of (a) 110,000,000 shares of common stock, including 100,000,000 shares of Class A common stock and 10,000,000 shares of Class F common stock, and (b) 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock (the “Preferred Stock”).

As of September 30, 2022, we had 34,114,449 shares of Class A common stock outstanding. As of September 30, 2022, we had reserved 6,757,185 shares of Class A common stock for issuance as follows:

Nature of Reserve		As of September 30, 2022
a.	Indemnification reserve: Upon the expiration of the indemnification period of two years as described in the Business Combination Agreement, subject the payments of indemnity claims, if any, the Company will issue up to 750,000 Common shares to former Onyx shareholders		750,000
b.	EIP reserve: Shares reserved for future issuance under the stockholder approved Parts iD, Inc. 2020 Equity Incentive Plan		3,963,603
c.	ESPP reserve: Shares reserved for future issuance under the stockholder approved Parts iD, Inc. 2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan		2,043,582
	Total shares reserved for future issuance		6,757,185

Further, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, the Sponsor has a right to 1,502,129 shares of Class A common stock should its price exceed $15.00 per share for any thirty-day trading period during the 730 calendar days after the effective date of the Business Combination.

As of September 30, 2022, there were no shares of Class F common stock outstanding, and no shares of Preferred Stock outstanding. The outstanding shares of common stock are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

Class A Common Stock

Voting Power

Except as otherwise required by law or as otherwise provided in any certificate of designation for any series of Preferred Stock, the holders of Class A common stock possess all voting power for the election of our directors and all other matters requiring stockholder action. Holders of Class A common stock and Class F common stock are entitled to one vote per share, voting together as a single class, on matters to be voted on by stockholders.

Dividends

Subject to the rights of holders of Preferred Stock, holders of Class A common stock will be entitled to receive such dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the Board in its discretion out of funds legally available therefor. We have not paid any cash dividends on the Class A common stock to date. We may retain future earnings, if any, for future operations, expansion and debt repayment and have no current plans to pay cash dividends for the foreseeable future. Any decision to declare and pay dividends in the future will be made at the discretion of the Board and will depend on, among other things, our results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors that the Board may deem relevant. In addition, our ability to pay dividends may be limited by covenants of any existing and future outstanding indebtedness incurred.

Liquidation, Dissolution and Winding Up

In the event of our voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, distribution of assets or winding-up, the holders of the Class A common stock, together with holders of Class F common stock, will be entitled to receive an amount of all of our assets of whatever kind available for distribution to stockholders, after the rights of the holders of the preferred stock have been satisfied, ratably in proportion to the number of shares of Class A common stock (on an as-converted basis with respect to the Class F common stock) held.

Preemptive or Other Rights

Our stockholders have no preemptive or other subscription rights and there are no sinking fund, redemption provisions or conversion provisions applicable to Class A common stock.

Class A Common Stock as Potentially Limited by Issuance of Preferred Stock

The Certificate of Incorporation provides that shares of Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The Board is authorized to fix the voting rights, if any, designations, powers and preferences, the relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and any qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, applicable to the shares of each series of Preferred Stock. The Board is able to, without stockholder approval, issue Preferred Stock with voting and other rights that could adversely affect the voting power and other rights of the holders of the Class A common stock and could have anti-takeover effects. The ability of our Board to issue Preferred Stock without stockholder approval could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of the Company or the removal of existing management.

Certain Anti-Takeover Provisions of Delaware Law and our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws

We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL regulating corporate takeovers. This statute prevents certain Delaware corporations, under certain circumstances, from engaging in a “business combination” with:

●

a stockholder who owns 15% or more of our outstanding voting stock (otherwise known as an “interested stockholder”);

●

an affiliate of an interested stockholder; or

●

an associate of an interested stockholder, for three years following the date that the stockholder became an interested stockholder.

A “business combination” includes a merger or sale of more than 15% of our assets. However, the above provisions of Section 203 do not apply if:

●

our Board approves the transaction that made the stockholder an “interested stockholder,” prior to the date of the transaction;

●

after the completion of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, that stockholder owned at least 85% of our voting stock outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, other than statutorily excluded shares of common stock; or

●

on or subsequent to the date of the transaction, the business combination is approved by our Board and authorized at a meeting of our stockholders, and not by written consent, by an affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock not owned by the interested stockholder.

Our authorized but unissued capital stock and Preferred Stock are available for future issuances without stockholder approval and could be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including future offerings to raise additional capital, acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued and unreserved capital stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.

Exclusive forum for certain lawsuits

Our Certificate of Incorporation requires, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that derivative actions brought in our name, actions against directors, officers and employees for breach of fiduciary duty and other similar actions may be brought only in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware and, if brought outside of Delaware, the stockholder bringing such suit will be deemed to have consented to service of process on such stockholder’s counsel. In addition, our Bylaws require that the federal district courts of the United States shall be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless and until our Bylaws are amended in this respect, the exclusive forum provision shall not apply to claims seeking to enforce any liability or duty created by the Exchange Act. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in our shares of common stock shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to these provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws. In addition, Section 22 of the Securities Act provides that federal and state courts have concurrent jurisdiction over lawsuits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. To the extent the exclusive forum provision restricts the courts in which claims arising under the Securities Act may be brought, there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce such a provision. We note that investors cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. Although we believe this provision benefits us by providing increased consistency in the application of Delaware law in the types of lawsuits to which it applies, the provision may have the effect of discouraging lawsuits against our directors and officers.

Special meetings of stockholders

Our Bylaws provide that special meetings of our stockholders may be called only by a majority vote of our Board, by our Chief Executive Officer or by our Chairman of the Board.

Advance notice requirements for stockholder proposals and director nominations

Our Bylaws provide that stockholders seeking to bring business before our annual meeting of stockholders, or to nominate candidates for election as directors at our annual meeting of stockholders must provide timely notice of their intent in writing. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice will need to be received by the Company secretary at our principal executive offices not later than the close of business on the 90^th day nor earlier than the opening of business on the 120^th day prior to the anniversary of the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders. Pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of the Securities Act, proposals seeking inclusion in our annual proxy statement must comply with the notice periods contained therein. Our Bylaws also specify certain requirements as to the form and content of a stockholders’ meeting. These provisions may preclude our stockholders from bringing matters before our annual meeting of stockholders or from making nominations for directors at our annual meeting of stockholders.

No action by written consent

Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that any action required or permitted to be taken by our stockholders must be effected by a duly called annual or special meeting of such stockholders and may not be effected by written consent of the stockholders.

Classified Board of Directors

Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that our Board is divided into two classes, Class I and Class II, with members of each class serving staggered two-year terms and that the authorized number of directors may be changed only by resolution of the Board. As a result, in most circumstances, a person can gain control of our Board only by successfully engaging in a proxy contest at two or more annual meetings.

There is no cumulative voting with respect to the election of directors, with the result that the holders of more than 50% of the shares voted for the election of directors can elect all of the directors within the class of directors up for election.

Subject to the terms of any Preferred Stock, any or all of the directors may be removed from office at any time, but only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the voting power of all then outstanding shares of our capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class. Any vacancy on our Board, including a vacancy resulting from an enlargement of our Board, may be filled only by vote of a majority of our directors then in office.

Our Transfer Agent

The transfer agent for our common stock is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company. We have agreed to indemnify Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company in its role as transfer agent, its agents and each of its stockholders, directors, officers and employees against all liabilities, including judgments, costs and reasonable counsel fees that may arise out of acts performed or omitted for its activities in that capacity, except for any liability due to any gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of the indemnified person or entity.

Rule 144

Pursuant to Rule 144, a person who has beneficially owned restricted shares of our common stock for at least six months would be entitled to sell their securities provided that (i) such person is not deemed to have been one of our affiliates at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale and (ii) we are subject to the Exchange Act periodic reporting requirements for at least three months before the sale and have filed all required reports under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act during the 12 months (or such shorter period as we were required to file reports) preceding the sale.

Persons who have beneficially owned restricted shares of our common stock for at least six months but who are our affiliates at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale, would be subject to additional restrictions, by which such person would be entitled to sell within any three-month period only a number of securities that does not exceed the greater of:

●

1% of the total number of shares of common stock then outstanding; or

●

the average weekly reported trading volume of the common stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale.

Sales by our affiliates under Rule 144 are also limited by manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about us.

DESCRIPTION OF THE WARRANT

On October 21, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), the Company and its subsidiary, PARTS iD, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (together with the Company, the “Borrower’), entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with JGB Collateral, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, in its capacity as collateral agent and the several financial institutions or entities that from time to time become parties to the Loan Agreement as lenders (collectively, the “Lender”).

In connection with the entry into the Loan Agreement, with respect to the Initial Term Loan Advance, the Company issued to the Lender a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase 1,000,000 shares (the “Warrant Shares”) of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”). The Warrant will be exercisable for a period of five years from the date of issuance at a per-share exercise price equal to $2.00, which was the higher of $2.00 and 130% of the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on the trading day preceding the Closing Date, subject to certain adjustments as specified in the Warrant. If the Company seeks and obtains the Second Loan Term Advance in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement, the Company will issue another Warrant to the Lender to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock on the same terms and conditions as the Warrant issued with respect to the Initial Term Loan Advance. The Warrant also provides for customary shelf and piggyback registration rights with respect to the Warrant Shares.

The issuance of the Warrant by the Company to the Lender was made in reliance on the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Lender is the Selling Stockholder described in this registration statement.

The Warrant is exercisable for one share of Common Stock beginning on the date of issuance thereof and ending on the five-year anniversary of such date. The Warrant has an exercise price of $2.00 per share. The exercise price and number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant are subject to adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, split, recapitalization, reorganization or similar transaction, as described in the Series A Warrants. Subject to limited exceptions, a holder of the Warrant will not have the right to exercise any portion of its Warrant if the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99%, or at the election of the holder 9.99%, of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise (“Beneficial Ownership Limitation”); provided that upon notice to the Company, the holder may elect to increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation would not be effective until the 61^st day after notice is delivered to the Company), although in no event may the Beneficial Ownership Limitation exceed 9.99%.

In the event of any fundamental transaction, as described in the Warrant and generally including any merger with or into another entity, sale of all or substantially all of our assets, tender offer or exchange offer, or reclassification of our shares of Common Stock, then upon any subsequent exercise of the Warrant, the holder will have the right to receive as alternative consideration, for each share of Common Stock that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such fundamental transaction, the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation of our company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration receivable upon or as a result of such transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which the Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such event.

The Warrant also contains a “put right” wherein upon (i) the repayment in full of the Secured Obligations (as defined in the Warrant), (ii) the consummation of a Change of Control (as defined in the Warrant) or (iii) the occurrence, and during the continuance, of an Event of Default (as defined in the Warrant), and, in the case of clauses (i) and (ii), at any time during the ninety (90) trading days immediately thereafter, the holder may, at its sole option, elect to require the Company to purchase all or a portion of the Warrant for a purchase price equal to $0.35 (subject to appropriate adjustment for any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination, reverse stock split or similar event) per share of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant or the applicable portion thereof (the “Put Price”) by delivering a written notice to the Company (the “Put Notice”). The Put Price shall be due and in payable in cash within three (3) trading days after the Company’s receipt of the Put Notice, as applicable.

The Warrant will not be registered nor listed on any exchange. If at the time of exercise of the Warrant there is no effective registration statement registering, or the prospectus contained therein is not available for the issuance of the Common Stock underlying the Warrants to the applicable Selling Stockholder, then such Warrant may also be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Selling Stockholder will be entitled to receive a number of shares of Common Stock as determined by the terms of the Warrant.

The foregoing description of the Warrant is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Form of Common Stock Purchase Warrant, which is included as Exhibits 4.1 to this registration statement and are incorporated by reference to the Company’s Current Report Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on October 26, 2022.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) provides, generally, that a corporation shall have the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (except actions by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation against all expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. A corporation may similarly indemnify such person for expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of any action or suit by or in the right of the corporation, provided that such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, in the case of claims, issues and matters as to which such person shall have been adjudged liable to the corporation, provided that a court shall have determined, upon application, that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all of the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court shall deem proper.

Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL provides, generally, that a corporation’s certificate of incorporation may contain a provision eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, provided that such provision may not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its shareholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. No such provision may eliminate or limit the liability of a director for any act or omission occurring prior to the date when such provision became effective.

II-1

The registrant’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) and Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”) provide that the registrant shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, as amended, which includes Section 145 of the DGCL, as amended, (i) indemnify and hold harmless each person who is or was made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “Proceeding”) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the registrant or, while a director or officer of the registrant, is or was serving at the request of the registrant as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, other enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes and penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred by such indemnitee in connection with such Proceeding; and (ii) pay the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an indemnitee in defending or otherwise participating in any proceeding in advance of its final disposition, provided that any payments in advance of the final disposition of the Proceeding shall be made only upon the registrant’s receipt of a certain undertaking by the person indemnified to repay all amounts advanced if such person is determined not to be entitled to such indemnification.

The Certificate of Incorporation also provides that a director of the registrant shall not be personally liable to the registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation is not permitted under the DGCL, as amended, unless a director violated its duty of loyalty to the registrant or its stockholders, acted in bad faith, knowingly or intentionally violated the law, authorized unlawful payments of dividends, unlawful stock purchases or unlawful redemptions, or derived improper personal benefit from his or her actions as a director.

The registrant maintains a general liability insurance policy which covers certain liabilities of the registrant’s directors and officers arising out of claims based on acts or omissions in their capacities as directors and officers.

The registrant has entered into indemnification agreements (the “Indemnification Agreements”) with each of its officers and directors. Each Indemnification Agreement provides for indemnification by the registrant of certain expenses, judgments, liabilities, settlement amounts and costs and the advancement of certain expenses, each to the fullest extent not prohibited by applicable law, relating to claims, suits or proceedings arising from the director’s or officer’s service to the registrant.

Item 17. Undertakings

(a)

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1)

To file, during the period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

(i)

To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(ii)

To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective Registration Statement; and

(iii)

To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the Registration Statement.

(2)

That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3)

To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4)

That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

(i)

Each prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the Registration Statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the Registration Statement; and

(ii)

Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii) or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the Registration Statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the Registration Statement relating to the securities in the Registration Statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof;

provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the Registration Statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the Registration Statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the Registration Statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

II-4

(b)

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c)

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

II-5
