Explanation of Responses:

1. Represents a grant of Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs"). Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Shift Technologies, Inc. (the "Company"). These RSUs were reported in Table II in the original Form 4 filing. This amendment is being filed to report these RSUs in Table I.

2. The RSUs vest quarterly over the four-year period commencing October 13, 2020, subject to continued employment with the Company or an affiliate of the Company.

3. Includes 106,086 shares held in escrow ("Additional Shares"). If the reported closing sale price of the Company's common stock does not exceed $12.00 per share for 20 out of any 30 consecutive trading days during the first 12 months following October 13, 2020, then 50% of the Additional Shares will be returned to the Company (and either placed into treasury or retired, in the discretion of the Company). If such threshold is reached, such Additional Shares will be released from escrow. If the reported closing sale price of our common stock does not exceed $15.00 per share for 20 out of any 30 consecutive trading days during the first 30 months following October 13, 2020, then 50% of the Additional Shares will be returned to the Company (and either placed into treasury or retired, in the discretion of the Company).
