“It is an honor to welcome John North to Lazydays,” said Chris Shackelton, chairman of the board. “John is an accomplished executive with an admirable track record of driving success across multiple companies. We could not be more excited about the combination of John’s operational strengths, paired with a disciplined growth orientation. John brings a deep understanding for building durable scale in multi-unit, high ASP dealership models, with superb judgement in allocating capital through business cycles. This combination is highly relevant for Lazydays, as the company assesses a widening range of compelling investment opportunities to drive shareholder value. Furthermore, as a leader of large public companies, John has a stellar reputation and history of developing strong relationships with investors and capital sources. Importantly, John is a collaborative leader whose skillset will complement and amplify the talented Lazydays team.”

“Lazydays has built one of the most respected businesses in the RV industry,” North said. “It is a privilege to join the company at such a pivotal moment. The Lazydays foundation is solid, and well positioned for a long runway of shareholder value creation. With a healthy balance sheet, strong brand, loyal customer base, and fantastic team, I am excited to help lead the company to an even brighter future. I look forward to working with my new colleagues and the board to ensure the business reaches its full potential.”

Shackelton added, “Lastly, on behalf of the board and our shareholders, I would like to extend our sincere gratitude to Robert DeVincenzi for his leadership as interim CEO. Effective with the appointment of John, Robert will return to our board serving as a non-executive director.”

North most recently served as chief financial officer of Copart, a member of the S&P 500 and a leading provider of online auctions and vehicle remarketing services. Previously, he served as the CFO of Avis Budget Group.
