LKQ CORP

LKQ Corporation ("LKQ," the "Company" or "we") is a global distributor of vehicle products, including replacement parts, components and systems used in the repair and maintenance of vehicles, and specialty aftermarket products and accessories to improve the performance, functionality and appearance of vehicles. Buyers of vehicle replacement products have the option to purchase from primarily four sources: new products produced by original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs"); new products produced by companies other than the OEMs, which are referred to as aftermarket products; salvaged products taken from total loss vehicles; and reconditioned products that have been refurbished or remanufactured. Collectively, we refer to the three sources that are not new OEM products as alternative parts. We sell a variety of alternative replacement and maintenance parts including collision parts, which are typically exterior components used in the collision repair process to restore a vehicle's appearance and safety, such as bumper covers, fenders, paint and related body repair products, and lights; hard parts, which are typically internal components that are either mechanical in nature, such as alternators, starters, and clutches, or functional components that are replaced as part of routine maintenance, such as brake pads, discs and sensors, filters and batteries; and major mechanical parts, such as engines and transmissions. We also sell specialty products and accessories, which are vehicle products that improve the performance, functionality and appearance of vehicles.
