Following its sales growth and its inclusion in the Russell 2000 Index, the company decided it needed a name that reflected the tech-forward company it has become. The company, which has been a leader in online aftermarket auto parts for more than 20 years, has built a strong brand identity and loyal, engaged consumer base under its flagship brand – CarParts.com – and decided its official corporate name should reflect this progression.

The new name speaks to the way we have used technology and e-commerce expertise to increase sales and profitability.”

The U.S. Auto Parts NASDAQ ticker (PRTS) will be retained. CarParts.com, Inc. common stock has been assigned the CUSIP number 14427M107.
