On October 30, 2023, PARTS iD, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) entered into an interim officer engagement agreement (the “Engagement Agreement”) with SRV Partners, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“SRVP”). Pursuant to the Engagement Agreement, Arkady A. Goldinstein will be appointed as the interim Chief Financial Officer of the Company, effective November 1, 2023. Mr. Goldinstein will also assume on an interim basis the duties of Principal Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer of the Company.

Mr. Goldinstein is the founder and Managing Director at SRVP. Prior to founding SRVP, he was a senior associate in the restructuring practice of Alvarez & Marsal, a leading turnaround and restructuring firm. Prior to that, Mr. Goldinstein practiced law at Weil Gotshal & Manges LLP and DLA Piper LLP (US), leading global law firms. Mr. Goldinstein has extensive experience in guiding companies and other stakeholders through complex turnarounds and restructurings in a broad range of industries, including retail, financial services, consumer products, oil & gas and construction. Mr. Goldinstein received his J.D. from the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School and his B.S. in Economics (with concentrations in Finance and Information Systems) from The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.

Under the terms of the Engagement Agreement, the Company agreed to (i) pay SRVP a monthly rate of $50,000 per month (assuming Mr. Goldinstein’s engagement will be based on full-time capacity), (ii) reimburse SVRP for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with Mr. Goldinstein’s engagement and (iii) remit to SRVP a retainer in the amount of $50,000, which shall be credited against any amounts due at the termination of the engagement. The Engagement Agreement may be terminated by the Company or SRVP without cause by written notice to the other party. The Engagement Agreement also includes customary representations, warranties and covenants (including indemnification provisions) that are standard for agreements of this type.

Other than as described above, there are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Goldinstein and any other persons pursuant to which he was chosen as an interim officer of the Company. There are no family relationships between Mr. Goldinstein and any of the Company’s directors, executive officers, or persons nominated or chosen by the Company to become a director or executive officer.
