Members of the Cars.com Board of Directors and management team have recently held discussions with representatives of Starboard, and those discussions remain ongoing. Cars.com&#8217;s Board will carefully review and consider Starboard&#8217;s candidates as it would any other potential directors to assess their ability to add value to the Board and Company for the benefit of all shareholders.  </font></p>

We have invested in opportunities to convert affiliate territories representing nearly 60% of the total affiliate (wholesale) revenue to markets serviced directly by Cars.com, as well as to accelerate the Company&#8217;s progress as a digital solutions provider to its automobile dealer customers through the acquisitions of Dealer Inspire and Launch Digital Marketing, among other initiatives. The Company has made rapid progress against significant strategic priorities. While the Cars.com Board recognizes there is more to achieve, we are confident that these actions have positioned the Company to deliver sustainable growth and shareholder value. </font></p>
