Item 8.01. Other Events

On July 27, 2021, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of CarParts.com, Inc. (the “Company”) revised the Company’s Independent Director Compensation Policy (the “Policy”) to provide that any newly joining independent directors, who first becomes a director on a date other than the date of an annual stockholders meeting will be granted a pro-rated number of restricted stock units, which is equal to the product of (i) the amount obtained by dividing (A) $167,600 by (B) the fair market value of a share of the Company’s common stock on the grant date, multiplied by (ii) the amount obtained by dividing (x) 12 minus the number of full months that have elapsed from the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders of the Company to the initial grant date, by (y) 12. As a result of these changes, on July 27, 2021, the Board granted to Henry Maier $167,600 of restricted stock units.

The foregoing description of the Policy does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Policy, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.
