Voluntary submission by John Chevedden, P.O. Box 2673, Redondo Beach, California 90278<BR>
Shareholder, AutoNation<BR>
Shareholder Alert<BR>
Please vote for Proposal 3 &ndash; Independent Board Chairman<BR>
<BR>
Proposal 3 &ndash; Independent Board Chairman<BR>
Shareholders request that the Board of Directors adopt as a policy that the Chairman of the Board, whenever possible, be an independent
member of the Board.<BR>
&nbsp;<BR>
It is important to vote for this proposal because this proposal is in favor of not waiting until 2021 to have an independent Board
Chairman.<BR>
Plus our Board of Directors can change their mind in 2021 and combine the roles of Chairman and CEO. &nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
Carl Liebert could have already been given assurances that he could be the Chairman and CEO in 2021.<BR>
<BR>
The shareholders of Allergan will be able to vote on immediate adoption of a proposal like this on May 1, 2019.<BR>
<BR>
It is important to vote for this proposal because this proposal is also in favor of a true Lead Independent Director now.<BR>
Our current Lead &ldquo;Independent&rdquo; Director, Rick Burdick, has been a director of AutoNation for 28-years.<BR>
Long-tenure in a director is the exact opposite of independence.<BR>
<BR>
If Against votes are cast in regard to Mr. Burdick it may send a message that shareholders are more in favor of independent director
oversight of management and shareholders are not happy with the price of our stock falling from $45 to $37 since the 2018 annual
meeting.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Written materials are submitted pursuant to Rule 14a-6(g)(1) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.*&nbsp;<BR>
*Submission is not required of this filer under the terms of the Rule, but is made voluntarily in the interest of public disclosure
and consideration of these important issues.<BR>
This is not a solicitation of authority to vote your proxy.&nbsp;<BR>
Please DO NOT send me your proxy card; the shareholder is not able to vote your proxies, nor does this communication contemplate
such an event.&nbsp;<BR>
<BR>
The shareholder asks all shareholders to vote for Proposal 3 &nbsp;by following the instructions provided in the management proxy
mailing.<BR></P>
