Carvana (NYSE:CVNA) stock is climbing higher on Tuesday after the used-car retailer adopted a poison pill position.

This poison pill strategy has Carvana seeking to protect its net operating loss carryforwards (NOLs). The company calls the move a “Tax Asset Preservation Plan” that will trigger if an investor obtains a stake of 4.9% or more of CVNA stock.

To go along with this, the plan doesn’t affect current shareholders that already have a greater than 4.9% stake in CVNA. However, the plan will still trigger if these holders attempt to acquire any more of the company’s shares.

According to Carvana, it’s adopting this poison pill plan for the best interest of the company and its shareholders. The company notes that this plan won’t stop the board from taking any actions it deems to be in the best interest of the company.
