Sustainability Strategy and Highlights

Since our inception in 1982, Copart has played a critical role in the automotive circular economy as a key intermediary enabling the recycling and reuse of automobiles and automotive parts, while facilitating access to transportation around the world. The very nature of our business is aligned with the reduction of carbon emissions. The process of manufacturing a new vehicle generates approximately 2 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalents, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. By matching millions of vehicles each year with buyers who will repurpose vehicles, Copart helps the world avoid millions of tons of carbon dioxide equivalents.

We are proud that our business, by its nature, enhances the habitability of our planet. We facilitate the re-use and recycling of millions of vehicles each year, while accelerating access to affordable transportation and the attendant benefits of social, educational, and economic mobility around the world. To learn more about Copart's sustainability efforts, please review our 2024 sustainability report, which is available on our website at www.copart.com under Investor Relations.

## CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Board Composition

Our Board is currently comprised of twelve members. Our bylaws permit our Board to establish the authorized number of directors within a range of five to twelve members, and twelve directors are currently authorized. The Board is nominating twelve nominees for election.

All directors elected at an annual meeting are elected to serve from the time of election and qualification until the earlier of the next annual meeting of stockholders following such election, or their resignation or removal. At each annual meeting of stockholders, the terms of each of our incumbent directors expire and twelve members of our Board are standing for re-election as directors.

Our bylaws provide for a majority voting standard in the election of directors, except in the event of a contested election, in which case we will revert to a plurality voting standard, the default standard under Delaware law. For a description of our majority voting standard, please refer to the section captioned "*Proposal 1-Election of Directors*."

Board Skills Matrix

The directors serving on our Board come from diverse backgrounds that align with our business requirements, help us to address the risks to which our business is subject, and foster sound business judgment.

When conducting its review of the appropriate skills and qualifications desired of directors, the Nominating, Governance, and Sustainability Committee particularly considers the skills, experiences, and expertise that are critical to the Board's ability to provide effective oversight of the Company and are directly relevant to Copart's business, strategy, and operations.

**(1)** Willis J. Johnson and A. Jayson Adair are company founders.

Fiscal 2025 Board Meetings

During fiscal 2025, our Board held five meetings. Each of our directors attended or participated in 75% or more of the total number of meetings of our Board held during the period of their service. Each of the directors also attended or participated in 75% or more of the meetings held by the standing committees of our Board on which they served during the past fiscal year.

Board Leadership Structure

Chairman of the Board

Our Board believes that it is important to retain its flexibility to allocate the responsibilities of the positions of the Chairman of our Board and chief executive officer in a way that it believes is in our best interests. Currently, the roles of Chairman of our Board and chief executive officer have been separated by our Board. Willis J. Johnson is our Chairman of the Board, and Jeffrey Liaw is our chief executive officer. Our Board believes that the separation of the offices of Chairman of the Board and chief executive officer is appropriate at this time because it allows our chief executive officer to focus primarily on our business strategy, operations, and corporate vision, while the Chairman of the Board provides guidance to the chief executive officer, sets the agenda for Board meetings with consultation of our lead independent director, and presides over meetings of the full Board. Our Board's administration of risk oversight has not affected its leadership structure.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Executive Chairman

In April 2023, as part of our management succession plan, A. Jayson Adair transitioned into his current role as executive chairman from his former position as co-chief executive officer. In his role as executive chairman, Mr. Adair actively advises our chief executive officer Jeffrey Liaw regarding corporate strategic initiatives and is available for immediate executive management support as needed. Mr. Adair also regularly consults with our Chairman of the Board, Willis J. Johnson, on corporate governance matters. Like Mr. Johnson, Mr. Adair's status as one of our ten largest stockholders fortifies the alignment between stockholders and management and helps us keep our focus on sustainable, long-term growth. Mr. Johnson is currently 78 years old, and Mr. Adair is currently 56. We believe that our founder-led culture has been a key differentiating factor in our success, and that Mr. Adair is positioned to help us sustain this competitive advantage for the foreseeable future.

Lead Independent Director

Our Corporate Governance Principles provide for the election of a "lead independent director", a position currently held by Daniel J. Englander. Initially, the lead independent director was responsible for scheduling and preparing agendas for meetings among our outside directors and, where applicable, communicating with the chief executive officer and Chairman of the Board, timely disseminating information to the other directors and liaising with management on behalf of the independent directors when appropriate. Our Nominating, Governance, and Sustainability Committee recently evaluated the lead independent director's responsibilities and has elected to expand those responsibilities to include the following:

• Preside at all meetings of the Board in the absence of, or upon the request of, the Chairman of the Board

• Lead regular executive sessions of the independent Directors

• Approve meeting schedules to assure sufficient time for discussion of all agenda items

• Call special meetings of the Board as necessary to address important or urgent Company issues

• Advise the Chairman of the Board on the retention of advisors and consultants who report directly to the Board

• Advise the Chairman of the Board and the chief executive officer, as appropriate, on issues discussed at executive sessions of non-employee and/or independent Directors

• Review with the chief executive officer, throughout the year, the non-employee Directors' ongoing evaluation of and feedback on the chief executive officer's performance

• Lead the Board's annual chief executive officer performance evaluation

• Serve as principal liaison between the non-employee and/or independent Directors, as a group, and the Chairman of the Board and the chief executive officer, as necessary

• Upon request, represent the Board with internal and external audiences, including stockholders

• Select an interim lead independent director to preside over meetings at which he or she cannot be present

Director Independence

As a company listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market ("Nasdaq"), we are required under the Nasdaq listing requirements to maintain a board comprised of a majority of "independent directors," as determined affirmatively by our Board. In addition, the Nasdaq rules require that, subject to specified exceptions, each member of our Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, and Nominating, Governance, and Sustainability Committee be independent. In September 2025, our Board undertook a review of the independence of our directors and considered whether any director has a material relationship with us that could compromise his or her ability to exercise independent judgment in carrying out his or her responsibilities. As a result of this review, our Board determined that a majority of our directors are "independent directors" as defined under applicable Nasdaq rules. Of our incumbent directors, Matt Blunt, Steven D. Cohan, Daniel J. Englander, Stephen Fisher, Cherylyn Harley LeBon, James E. Meeks, Diane M. Morefield, Carl D. Sparks, and Thomas N. Tryforos have each been determined by our Board to be an "independent director" as that term is defined under the rules of Nasdaq.

COPART, INC. 11 2025 PROXY STATEMENT

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS

In making its independence determinations, our Board considered transactions between the Company and entities associated with the directors or members of their immediate family. All identified transactions that appear to relate to us and a person or entity with a known connection to a director are presented to our Board for consideration. In making its determination that certain directors are independent, our Board considered the transactions in the context of the Nasdaq rules, and the standards established by the SEC for members of audit committees, compensation committees, and nominating, governance, and sustainability committees.

Oversight of Risk Management

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Board of Directors<br>The role of our Board in our risk oversight process includes receiving regular reports from members of senior management on areas of material risk to us, including operational, financial, legal, compliance, and regulatory, and strategic and reputational risks.<br>Our Board's role in risk oversight is consistent with our Board's leadership structure, with the chief executive officer and other members of senior management having responsibility for assessing and managing our risk exposure, and our Board and its committees providing oversight in connection with those efforts. While our Board has the ultimate oversight responsibility for our risk management policies and processes, the committees of our Board also have responsibility for risk oversight with respect to certain matters.<br>

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Audit Committee<br>Our Audit Committee oversees management of financial risk exposures, including the integrity of our accounting and financial reporting processes and controls. As part of this responsibility, our Audit Committee meets periodically with our independent auditors, our internal auditors, and our financial and accounting personnel to discuss significant financial risk exposures and the steps management has taken to monitor, control, and report these exposures. Additionally, our Audit Committee reviews significant findings prepared by our independent auditors together with management's responses as well as significant findings of our internal auditors. Our Audit Committee also oversees risk associated with related party transactions, business conduct, regulatory compliance, and cybersecurity and privacy compliance. | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Compensation Committee<br>Our Compensation Committee considers the risks associated with our compensation policies and practices with respect to both executive compensation and employee compensation generally. Our management has reviewed with our Compensation Committee the compensation plans and programs that could have a material impact on us. This review considered whether any of these plans or programs may encourage inappropriate risk-taking, whether any plan may give rise to risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us, and whether our management would recommend any changes to the plans. Our management also reviewed with our Compensation Committee risk-mitigating controls such as the degree of Compensation Committee and senior management oversight of each program and the level and design of internal controls over such programs. Based upon this review, we believe that the mix and design of the elements of our compensation policies and practices do not encourage our employees to assume excessive risks and, accordingly, are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us.<br>| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Nominating, Governance, and Sustainability Committee<br>Our Nominating, Governance, and Sustainability Committee oversees risks associated with our overall governance practices and the leadership structure of our Board. Our Board is kept informed of each committee's risk oversight and other activities via regular reports of the committee chairs to the full Board. As part of its oversight of our overall governance practices, the Nominating, Governance, and Sustainability Committee has adopted our enterprise policy development and governance framework. To the extent that sustainability matters are not overseen or considered by the full Board in its oversight of our corporate strategy or specifically assigned to another committee, the Nominating, Governance, and Sustainability Committee also oversees our general activities in sustainability areas. |

Board Committees

Our Board maintains three standing committees: an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee, and a Nominating, Governance, and Sustainability Committee. Each committee has a written charter, which is reviewed and approved annually by our Board, outlining the principal responsibilities of such committee. Copies of the current committee charters are available in the Corporate Governance section of the Investor Relations page on our website at *www.copart.com*.

Only directors deemed to be "independent" (see below) serve on the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, or Nominating, Governance, and Sustainability Committee. However, our Board may create special committees from time to time, and our current employee directors or those deemed not to be independent under applicable rules and guidelines may be appointed to serve on those special committees, as our Board may determine.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

Our Compensation Committee consists of Daniel J. Englander, Matt Blunt, Steven D. Cohan, Cherylyn Harley LeBon, and Thomas N. Tryforos. No member of our Compensation Committee was, at any time during fiscal 2025, an officer nor employee of Copart or any of our subsidiaries. Mr. Cohan was previously an officer of Copart from 1992-1996. In addition, no member of our Compensation Committee had any relationship requiring disclosure under Item 404 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC at the time such committee member served as a Board member and Compensation Committee member.

No interlocking relationship, as described by the SEC, currently exists or existed during fiscal 2025 between any member of our Compensation Committee and any member of any other company's board of directors or compensation committee.

Considerations in Identifying and Evaluating Director Nominees

To the extent our Nominating, Governance, and Sustainability Committee believes it appropriate to identify and evaluate new director candidates, our Nominating, Governance, and Sustainability Committee generally requests our Board members and others to provide recommendations. The Nominating, Governance, and Sustainability Committee meets from time to time to evaluate biographical information and background material relating to potential candidates, and interviews potential director candidates.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS

In its evaluation of director candidates, including the members of the Board eligible for re-election, our Nominating, Governance, and Sustainability Committee will consider the following:

• The current size and composition of our Board and the needs of the Board and its respective committees;

• Factors such as character, integrity, judgment, independence, area of expertise, corporate experience, length of service, personal characteristics (including gender, race, and diversity of experience), potential conflicts of interest, and other commitments; and

• Other factors that our Nominating, Governance, and Sustainability Committee may consider appropriate.

Our Nominating, Governance, and Sustainability Committee evaluates these factors, among others, and does not assign any particular weighting or priority to any of these factors.

Any nominee for a position on the Board must satisfy the following minimum qualifications:

• The highest personal and professional ethics and integrity;

• Proven achievement and competence in the nominee's field and the ability to exercise sound business judgment;

• Skills that are complementary to those of the existing Board;

• The ability to assist and support management and make significant contributions to the Company's success; and

• An understanding of the fiduciary responsibilities required of a member of the Board and the commitment of time and energy necessary to diligently carry out those responsibilities.

The Nominating, Governance, and Sustainability Committee considers diversity as one of many factors in identifying nominees for director, including personal characteristics such as race and gender, as well as diversity in the experience and skills that contribute to the Board's performance of its responsibilities in the oversight of a complex and highly-competitive global business. The Nominating, Governance, and Sustainability Committee does not assign specific weights to particular criteria, and no particular criterion is necessarily applicable to all prospective nominees.

If our Nominating, Governance, and Sustainability Committee determines that an additional or replacement director is required, the Nominating, Governance, and Sustainability Committee may take such measures as it considers appropriate in connection with its evaluation of a director candidate, including candidate interviews, inquiry of the person or persons making the recommendation or nomination, engagement of an outside search firm to gather additional information, or reliance on the knowledge of the members of the Nominating, Governance, and Sustainability Committee, Board, or management.

Director Attendance at Annual Meetings

Although we do not have a formal policy regarding attendance at stockholder meetings, our directors are encouraged to attend the annual meeting of stockholders. Messrs. Adair and Liaw attended our 2024 Annual Meeting.

Insider Trading and Anti-Hedging Policy

We have adopted insider trading policies and procedures governing the purchase, sale, and/or other disposition of the Company's securities by directors, officers, and employees, or the Company itself, that are reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules, and regulations, and any listing standards applicable to the Company. Our insider trading policy precludes our officers, directors, employees, consultants, agents and contractors from engaging in transactions in publicly-traded options, such as puts and calls, and other derivative securities with respect to our securities. This prohibition extends to any hedging or similar transaction designed to decrease the risks associated with holding our securities.

Corporate Governance Principles

Our Board has adopted Corporate Governance Principles. Our Corporate Governance Principles address, among other items, the qualifications and responsibilities of our directors, the structure and composition of our Board and corporate governance policies and standards applicable to us in general. The full text of our Corporate Governance Principles is available on our website at *https://www.copart.com/content/us/en/pdfs/copart-corporate-governance-principles.pdf.*

Code of Business Conduct and Related Policies

Copart's commitment to integrity has always been at its core and is enshrined in the Company's values. Copart is committed to conducting its business with integrity and in compliance with applicable laws, regulations and ethical standards. Oversight of ethics and compliance matters is the responsibility of the Audit Committee, which receives regular reports from management regarding compliance and ethics risks, policies, and practices and oversees the Company's implementation of its ethics and compliance framework. In addition, in 2024, Copart onboarded its first dedicated chief compliance officer to support the Company's long-standing commitment to ethical conduct.

To support this commitment, the Board has adopted a comprehensive set of policies and procedures designed to promote ethical conduct across all aspects of our operations, including:

• *Code of Business Conduct* – Establishes the standards of integrity and professional behavior expected of all directors, officers and employees of Copart and its subsidiaries.

• *Global Anti-Corruption and Bribery Policy* – Prohibits bribery and corruption in all forms and, for the benefit of our workforce, supply chain and representatives, sets clear standards for compliance with global anti-corruption laws.

• *Global Anti-Money Laundering Policy* – Provides guidelines to prevent, detect and respond to money laundering risks across our business activities and operations.

• *Global Whistleblower Policy* – Provides employees and third parties with safe and confidential channels to report concerns regarding suspected or identified misconduct, with strong protections against retaliation.

• *Supplier Code of Conduct* – Sets forth expectations for suppliers and business partners regarding ethical business practices, compliance with law, labor standards and environmental responsibility.

• *Human Rights Policy and Code of Human Rights Policy* – Affirms our commitment to respecting internationally recognized human rights and embedding those principles in business operations and supply chains.

• *Global Auction Integrity Policy* – Establishes guidelines to protect our compliance with applicable laws regarding auction conduct.

• *Global Sanctions Policy* – Prohibits business dealings with restricted persons under applicable sanctions laws.

• *Global Antitrust and Fair Competition Policy* – Establishes our commitment to respecting applicable laws relating to anti-trust and fair competition.

• *Know Your Customer Policy* – Establishes minimum know your customer practices and procedures for our members.

• *Suspicious Activity Reporting Policy* – Implements a mechanism for voluntary reporting of certain potentially suspicious activity, in furtherance of our anti-money laundering compliance efforts.

The full text of our Code of Business Conduct and the above referenced policies are available on our website at *https://www.copart.com/content/us/en/investor-relations/investor-relations*. The Nominating, Governance, and Sustainability Committee of our Board is responsible for overseeing the Code of Business Conduct and these other policies, including regularly reviewing and updating our Code of Business Conduct and these policies for regulatory and best practices updates. Any amendments to the Code of Business Conduct and these other policies, or any waivers of their requirements, will be disclosed on our website.

Together, these policies form an integrated ethics and compliance framework that supports Copart's culture of accountability and ethical conduct. The Board and management work collaboratively to ensure that these policies remain current with legal requirements, industry standards and stakeholder expectations. This includes implementing training programs covering these policies and procedures for all of our employees.

Annual Board Self-Evaluations

Each year, the Nominating, Governance, and Sustainability Committee leads the Board through self-evaluations to assess whether the Board, its committees, and its members are functioning effectively and to identify areas where improvement can be made. This process also includes an evaluation of all directors, including the Board, lead independent director and committee chairs. The chair of the Nominating, Governance, and Sustainability Committee compiles and anonymizes the results of the self-evaluation and presents summaries that identify common themes, issues and suggestions to the committees and the Board. The Board and its committees review and discuss the summaries during committee and Board executive sessions, and then, as appropriate, enhance policies and practices based on the results. We believe this approach, in addition to ongoing feedback, supports the Board's effectiveness and continuous improvement.

External Director Equity Ownership Policy

In September 2020, our Board adopted a new external director equity ownership policy. Taken together with the equity compensation element of our external director compensation program, the policy is designed to encourage our directors to build and maintain a meaningful equity ownership position in our stock, in order to better align the interests of our Board with the interests of our stockholders. The external director equity ownership policy prohibits our external directors from selling any shares of our stock that they beneficially own unless both before and after the proposed sale the director holds shares — including vested options that can be exercised for shares — with a fair market value as of the proposed transaction date greater than or equal to three times the cash portion of their annual director compensation. Each of our directors is in full compliance with our External Director Equity Ownership Policy.

Stockholder Communications with our Board

Our Board recommends that stockholders who wish to communicate directly with our Board should do so in writing. Our Board has approved the following procedure for stockholders to communicate with our directors. Mail can be addressed to directors in care of Copart, Inc., Attention: Chief Legal Officer, Copart Tower, 14185 Dallas Parkway, Suite 300, Dallas, Texas 75254. All mail received will be opened and screened for security purposes. All mail, other than trivial or obscene items, will be forwarded to our directors. Trivial items will be delivered to our directors at the next scheduled Board meeting. Mail addressed to a particular director will be forwarded or delivered to that director. Mail addressed to "Outside Directors" or "Non-Management Directors" will be forwarded or delivered to the chair of our Nominating, Governance, and Sustainability Committee. Mail addressed to the "Board of Directors" will be forwarded or delivered to the Chairman of our Board. Our chief legal officer may decide in the exercise of his judgment whether a response to any stockholder communication is necessary.

This procedure does not apply to stockholder proposals submitted pursuant to our bylaws and Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act, as discussed in this proxy statement under the caption *"What is the deadline to propose actions for consideration at next year's annual meeting of stockholders or to nominate individuals to serve as directors? — Nomination of Director Candidates."*

Sustainability

Through its governance and oversight of our business, our Board is responsible for setting our strategic corporate goals. Our goals are to generate sustainable profits for our stockholders while providing environmental and social benefits for the communities we serve.

We believe that our business model should be aligned with recognized sustainability standards, with a broad awareness of the social, environmental, and human context in which we operate. Our Nominating, Governance, and Sustainability Committee is responsible for overseeing our business activities in this area.

In December 2024, we published our third annual sustainability report on our investor relations website that provides detailed disclosures regarding our sustainability objectives based on the UN SDGs, the SASB standards, and the GRI reporting framework. Although these disclosures are not incorporated by reference into this proxy statement, we believe the 2024 sustainability report offers valuable insights into the ways our business aligns favorably with important goals in these areas.

Data Protection and Cybersecurity

We are committed to protecting the data that we use in our business operations, including personal data that may identify individuals. We have a chief information security officer who leads our cybersecurity efforts, and we have implemented an information security management system. We have also made substantial investments in both the number of our cybersecurity professionals and the technologies we use to protect the data that we use in our business.

Furthermore, our Audit Committee is responsible for oversight of our data protection and cybersecurity activities. To enhance the Board's oversight of cybersecurity matters, Stephen Fisher was added to our Board in 2019 and to our Audit Committee in 2020. He is a technologist currently serves as president & chief product officer at Salesforce.com, and formerly served as Salesforce.com's executive vice president and general manager for Next Generation CRM and Unified Data Services.

Our cybersecurity efforts focus on key areas, including:

Risk Management and Strategy

We work proactively to identify, evaluate, and manage cybersecurity threats to our business. These threats include disruption and denial of critical systems and infrastructure, intellectual property theft, fraud, extortion, harm to customers and employees, legal and litigation risks, reputational risks, and the breach of confidential business data, which could include personally identifiable information. We employ both holistic and focused processes for identifying, assessing, managing, and disclosing material cybersecurity risks to our business. Our holistic review is part of our general risk management process, and involves our executive leadership team, team members from our finance, legal, tech, and operations teams, and external legal, financial, and risk advisors who are subject matter experts in identifying, assessing, mitigating and reporting material risks. Our focused review involves internal assessment by our cybersecurity team, as well as external review by a cybersecurity consulting services firm, to evaluate our cybersecurity program and our capacity to defend against and respond to potential cybersecurity threats.

Through strategic investments over several years, we have established and enhanced a comprehensive cybersecurity program consisting of security toolsets, people, policies, and contracted third-party service providers that provide technical, organizational, and administrative safeguards to protect against and timely respond to cybersecurity threats and incidents. Our cybersecurity strategy is based foremost on defense in depth, and secondarily on resilience. Defense in depth is a strategy of layered security, in which we employ a variety of overlapping controls, tools, and processes to defend against threat actors. Resilience is a strategy focused on business continuity and disaster recovery, with the goal of rapidly restoring, rebuilding, and recovering from any adverse cyber impacts to our business. These controls, tools and processes include technologies designed to detect and defend against unauthorized access to our systems and infrastructure, relevant corporate policies, periodic cybersecurity and privacy training programs, and incident response protocols for preventing, detecting, responding to and recovering from cybersecurity incidents. We use the National Institute for Standards in Technology (NIST) security framework to evaluate our cybersecurity controls, which we work to continuously enhance.

Governance

Our Board of Directors has delegated oversight of our cybersecurity program to our Audit Committee, and this oversight responsibility is reflected in our Audit Committee charter. Our Audit Committee receives quarterly updates from our chief information security officer on the status of these programs. Our Audit Committee also receives a detailed presentation from our chief information security officer on our cybersecurity program annually, which includes the results of an external third-party assessment. Our Audit Committee is comprised solely of independent directors, with one member who is a subject matter expert in technology and cybersecurity.

Our management team is responsible for assessing and managing our material risks from cybersecurity threats, and has appointed a chief information security officer to lead our global cybersecurity organization for this purpose. Our executive management team and key members of our broader finance, legal, tech and operations organizations receive detailed monthly briefings from our chief information security officer on the status of our cybersecurity program and our readiness to prevent, detect, mitigate and recover from cybersecurity incidents.

Our chief information security officer leads our incident response team for addressing and recovering from identified cybersecurity incidents. Our incident response team includes key members of our tech, legal and executive management teams to manage our response efforts, which includes timely compliance with applicable contractual and regulatory notification obligations.

## COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS AND CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD
Our directors play a critical role in guiding our strategic direction and overseeing our management. Our directors consider maximizing long-term stockholder value for our investors to be their principal responsibility. Based on that long-held philosophy, our levels of cash compensation for non-employee directors and our Chairman of the Board have tended to fall below our peer group median, while levels of director equity compensation have exceeded our peer group median when measured using the equity valuation methodologies required by SEC rules.

Consistent with our compensation philosophy that director compensation should be directly linked to realized stockholder appreciation, our equity compensation programs for non-employee directors and our Chairman of the Board have focused on stock options granted on the date of each annual meeting with an exercise price equal to the closing price of our common stock on Nasdaq on the date of grant. Under that mechanism, if stockholders realize gains from the date of that meeting, our directors realize them as well (and proportionately to the gains realized by stockholders). If our stock price falls and stockholders do not realize gains, neither do our directors, as an option with an exercise price greater than then-prevailing market prices has no then-current value.

Outside Director Compensation Program

Under our outside director compensation program, eligible directors (consisting of our Chairman of the Board and our non-employee directors) each receive an annual cash retainer of $57,500. Additionally, each eligible director receives an additional $10,000 cash retainer for each committee on which they serve, unless the eligible director serves as the chair of one or more standing committees, consisting of the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, and the Nominating, Governance, and Sustainability Committee, in which case the eligible director receives an additional $20,000 cash retainer for their service as the chair of such committee. These cash retainers are payable in quarterly installments in arrears on a prorated basis.

Each person who first becomes an eligible director will receive, on the date on which the person first becomes an eligible director, an initial award of an option to purchase a number of shares of our common stock that results in such option having a "value" of $250,000, rounded down to the nearest whole share. Each initial award will vest as to 1/12th of the underlying shares on each month following the date the applicable eligible director's service as an eligible director commenced, in each case subject to the eligible director's continued service as a director through the relevant vesting date. If an individual commences service as an eligible director on the date an annual award (discussed below) would be granted, then the individual will not be granted an initial award, but instead will be granted only an annual award. If an individual commences service as an eligible director on any other date, then that individual will not be eligible to receive an annual award until the second annual meeting of stockholders where directors are elected following the individual's initial date of service as an eligible director.

Except as described above, on the date of each annual stockholder meeting, each eligible director automatically will be granted an annual award of an option to purchase a number of shares of our common stock that results in such option having a "value" of $250,000, rounded down to the nearest whole share. Each annual award will vest as to 1/12th of the underlying shares on each month following the date of grant, in each case subject to the applicable eligible director's continued service as a director through the relevant vesting date.

Each initial award or annual award will have a term of seven years and will have an exercise price per share equal to the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date of grant.

In the event of a change in control of our company, all initial awards and annual awards will fully vest, in each case subject to the applicable eligible director's continued service as a director through the date of the change in control.

The directors are also eligible for reimbursement of reasonable and necessary expenses incurred in connection with their attendance at Board meetings.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS AND CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD

For purposes of determining the number of shares covered by an initial award or annual award and the limitations described in the previous paragraph, "value" means the fair market value of the shares subject to the equity award, as determined using the Black-Scholes option valuation formula.

Our founder and Chairman of the Board, Willis J. Johnson, participates in the outside director compensation program on the same terms as non-employee directors. In addition, Mr. Johnson receives the perquisites and benefits described in the table below.

Fiscal 2025 Director Compensation

The following table presents information relating to total compensation paid or accrued for services rendered to us in all capacities by our Chairman of the Board and our non-employee directors for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2025.

**(1)** Amounts shown represent the aggregate grant date fair values of the annual award of stock options granted in fiscal 2025 on the date of our 2024 annual meeting. These aggregate grant date fair values were computed in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, Stock Compensation, as amended, without regard to estimated forfeitures. There can be no assurances that the amounts disclosed will ever be realized. Assumptions used in the calculation of these amounts are included in Note 12, "Stockholders' Equity" to our consolidated financial statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2025.

**(2)** Includes $36,936 related to personal use of a company-owned automobile, and $20,953 for medical, dental, and vision benefits. We determine the value of personal use of corporate-owned or leased aircraft based on the aggregate incremental cost to us for such use. We calculate the incremental cost to the Company for personal use of company aircraft based on the average variable operating costs to the Company. Variable operating costs include fuel, certain maintenance costs, navigation fees, on-board catering, landing fees, crew travel expenses, and other miscellaneous variable costs. The total annual variable costs are divided by the annual number of hours the Company aircraft flew to derive an average variable cost per hour. This average variable cost per hour is then multiplied by the hours flown for personal use. Incremental costs do not include fixed costs that do not change based on usage, such as pilots' salaries, the purchase cost of company-owned aircraft, insurance, scheduled maintenance, and non-trip related hangar expenses.

Fiscal 2025 Director Equity Incentive Awards (2024 Annual Meeting)

At the 2024 annual meeting of stockholders, our Chairman of the Board and each non-employee member of our Board (other than newly-appointed non-employee directors) received an option grant under our 2007 Equity Incentive Plan, consistent with the outside director compensation program described above, on the terms described above. Each stock option expires seven years from the date of grant (unless earlier terminated in accordance with the terms of the equity plan and related stock option agreement). Each of the 2024 annual meeting options bore an exercise price of $62.08 per share, which was the closing price of our common stock on Nasdaq on December 6, 2024, the date of our 2024 annual meeting and the date of grant.

## PROPOSAL 2: ADVISORY VOTE ON APPROVAL OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
We are asking our stockholders to cast a non-binding advisory vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers identified in the "*Executive Compensation*" section of this proxy statement as required by Section 14A of the Exchange Act. Section 14A was added to the Exchange Act by Section 951 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act). The advisory vote on the approval of executive compensation is a non-binding vote on the compensation of our named executive officers, as described in the "*Executive Compensation"* section (including the "*Compensation Discussion and Analysis*" section, the tabular disclosure regarding such compensation, and the accompanying narrative disclosure) in this proxy statement. The Dodd-Frank Act requires us to hold the advisory vote on the approval of executive compensation at least once every three years.

Our compensation for our named executive officers has been supported by a majority of the votes cast by our stockholders since proxy voting on named executive officer compensation began in 2011. At our 2024 annual meeting, approximately 95% of the votes cast by our stockholders approved of our fiscal 2024 executive compensation program.

Compensation Program and Philosophy

Our executive compensation program is designed to:

• attract and retain talented and experienced executives;

• motivate and reward executives whose knowledge, skills, and performance are critical to our success; and

• incentivize our executives to manage our business to meet our long-term objectives and the long-term objectives of our stockholders.

Under this program, our named executive officers are rewarded for the achievement of specific short-term and long-term goals that enhance stockholder value. Stockholders are urged to read the "*Compensation Discussion and Analysis*" section of this proxy statement, which describes our executive compensation program and contains information about the fiscal 2025 compensation of our named executive officers. Our Compensation Committee and our Board believe that our compensation design and practices are effective in implementing our executive compensation goals.

We are asking our stockholders to indicate their support for the compensation of our named executive officers as described in this proxy statement by voting in favor of the following resolution:

"**RESOLVED**, that the stockholders approve, on an advisory basis in a non-binding vote, the compensation of Copart, Inc.'s named executive officers as disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-K, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the compensation tables and narrative disclosures set forth in the proxy statement relating to Copart's 2025 annual meeting of stockholders."

Required Vote

The votes cast "FOR" must exceed the votes cast "AGAINST" to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation awarded to our named executive officers for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2025. You may vote "FOR", "AGAINST", or "ABSTAIN" on this proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes are not counted as votes "FOR" or "AGAINST" and will not affect the outcome of this proposal.

PROPOSAL 2: ADVISORY VOTE ON APPROVAL OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Even though this say-on-pay vote is advisory and, therefore, will not be binding on us, our Compensation Committee and our Board value the opinions of our stockholders. Accordingly, to the extent there is a significant vote against the compensation of our named executive officers, we will consider our stockholders' concerns, and our Compensation Committee will evaluate what actions may be necessary or appropriate to address those concerns.

Recommendation of our Board

Our Board unanimously recommends that stockholders vote<br>FOR the approval, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, of the compensation<br>of our named executive officers as disclosed in this proxy statement.

PROPOSAL 3: RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Policy on Audit Committee Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Our Audit Committee's policy is to require pre-approval of all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm (or subsequently approving audit and permitted non-audit services in those circumstances where a subsequent approval is necessary and permissible). These services may include audit services, audit-related services, tax services, and other services. Pre-approval is generally provided for up to one year. Our independent registered public accounting firm and management are required to periodically report to our Audit Committee regarding the extent of services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm in accordance with this pre-approval. Our Audit Committee may also pre-approve particular services on a case-by-case basis. In addition, the charter of our Audit Committee provides that our Audit Committee may delegate to one or more designated members the authority to pre-approve audit and permissible non-audit services, provided such pre-approval decision is presented to our Audit Committee at its scheduled meetings.

All of the services of Ernst & Young LLP for fiscal years 2025 and 2024 described above were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

Report of the Audit Committee

The Audit Committee of our Board consists of Messrs. Cohan, Blunt, Fisher, and Sparks and Ms. Morefield. The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed with management and Ernst & Young LLP our audited consolidated financial statements and financial reporting processes. Our management has the primary responsibility for our financial statements and financial reporting processes, including the system of internal controls. Ernst & Young LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, is responsible for performing an independent audit of our consolidated financial statements and for expressing an opinion on the conformity of those financial statements with generally accepted accounting principles. The Audit Committee reviews and monitors these processes and receives reports from Ernst & Young LLP and management. The Audit Committee also discusses with Ernst & Young LLP the overall scope and plans of their audits, their evaluation of our internal controls, and the overall quality of our financial reporting processes.

The Audit Committee has discussed with management and the independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) and the Securities and Exchange Commission. These discussions included the clarity of the disclosures made therein, the underlying estimates and assumptions used in the financial reporting, and the reasonableness of the significant judgments and management decisions made in developing the financial statements. In addition, the Audit Committee has discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm their independence from us and our management and the independent registered public accounting firm provided the written disclosures and the letter required by the applicable requirements of the PCAOB, and considered the compatibility of non-audit services with the independent registered public accounting firm's independence.

On an annual basis, the Audit Committee obtains from the independent registered public accounting firm a written communication delineating all their relationships and professional services as required by the applicable requirements of the PCAOB. In addition, the Audit Committee reviewed with the independent registered public accounting firm the nature and scope of any disclosed relationships or professional services and took, or recommended that our Board take, appropriate action to ensure the continuing independence of the independent registered public accounting firm.

Our Philosophy on Executive Compensation

The primary objective of our executive compensation program is to incentivize our NEOs to think and behave like long-term owners of our business.

The Compensation Committee implements this objective primarily through the grant of long-term equity awards, which vary based on the NEO.

We have a long history of compensating our senior executives through large, front-end loaded, multi-year stock option awards. We first adopted a compensation program for Mr. Adair based almost exclusively on stock options in 2009 and have successfully continued that program for more than a decade. Over the succeeding 15 years, our stockholder returns have substantially exceeded those of the S&P 500.

Based on our 1,888% total shareholder return over our past 15 fiscal years, we believe our historical executive compensation arrangements have been extraordinarily effective and resulted in an outstanding degree of stockholder alignment. **We have attempted to continue this successful approach for our non-founder executive officers, but with traditional salary and cash bonuses as well since they have shorter tenures with us and have not accumulated the level of stock ownership in Copart as Mr. Adair.**

We believe that substantial front-end loaded, multi-year equity incentive awards promote executive leadership stability and retention and a long-term ownership mindset.

A significant benefit of compensation arrangements that are heavily weighted to substantial, front-end loaded multi-year equity incentive awards is that we can settle our executive compensation arrangements for several years at a time. Our Compensation Committee finds that avoiding frequent executive compensation negotiations with our executive officers helps promote leadership stability and a long-term ownership mindset.

We continued our pattern of multi-year compensation with the executive compensation package we awarded to Mr. Liaw upon his promotion to co-chief executive officer in March 2022. Although Mr. Liaw receives a competitive annual salary and participates in our executive bonus plan, along with certain perquisites approved by our Compensation Committee, he is not eligible for any new equity incentive awards until April 2026.

EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Our Compensation Committee believes that equity incentive awards with time-based vesting is a powerful and effective tool for NEO retention. We use time-based vesting for all NEO equity incentive awards, and since June 2020, our standard vesting schedule for executive officer equity incentive awards has been 20% vesting on the first anniversary of the date of grant, with monthly vesting thereafter at a rate of 1/60 per month, such that the equity incentive award is fully vested on the fifth anniversary of the grant date.

We believe that stock options directly link realized equity compensation to stockholder returns and expect our long-term equity awards to continue to focus on stock options.

As a general principle, our Compensation Committee believes that our NEOs should realize actual compensation only if, when, and to the extent that stockholders realize gains*.*

We named Jeffrey Liaw as our co-chief executive officer in April 2022 and as our chief executive officer in April 2024. Mr. Liaw's executive compensation package, which has not materially changed since 2022, was heavily weighted to stock option awards, which represented approximately 74% of his executive compensation package value in fiscal 2022. Our Compensation Committee took a similar approach in its design of the onboarding executive compensation package for our chief financial officer, Ms. Stearns, with stock options representing approximately 53% of her total onboarding compensation package value in December 2022, and 76% of her total compensation for fiscal 2024. Consistent with our historical compensation structure and philosophy, we believe the heavy weighting of stock option awards in the compensation packages for Mr. Liaw and Ms. Stearns create a high degree of stockholder alignment and focus on long-term value creation.

Although we believe restricted stock units lack the incentive and stockholder alignment power of stock options, for our non-founder NEOs, we believe including restricted stock units in the total mix of compensation elements lessens the impact of short-term stock price fluctuations, aids in executive retention and promotes a long-term ownership mindset.

For our non-founder NEOs, our Compensation Committee determined that adding restricted stock units to the mix of total compensation was an appropriate way of providing these NEOs with a degree of personal financial security to weather any short-term price fluctuations in our stock price, so that they can remain focused on long-term value creation. Our Compensation Committee also believes that including restricted stock units in the mix of total executive compensation helps to temper any incentives our non-founders may otherwise have for excessive risk-taking and also helps to deter any potential bias for near-term results at the expense of long-term value creation.

Based on these considerations, our Compensation Committee designed Mr. Liaw's compensation package in March 2022 so that restricted stock units represented approximately 20% of his total compensation package. The Compensation Committee took a similar approach in designing Ms. Stearns' onboarding compensation package in December 2022, with restricted stock units representing approximately 41% of her total onboarding compensation package.

We believe that equity incentive awards should be significantly performance-based.

Our Compensation Committee recognizes that some corporate governance standards don't view stock options subject to ordinary time-based vesting as sufficiently "performance based". To address this concern, for each of the equity incentive awards we have made to NEOs since June 2020, we have implemented a premium price hurdle that applies to at least 50% of the total value of the particular equity incentive award.

Our Compensation Committee worked closely with Compensia, Inc., our external compensation consultant, to design Mr. Liaw's compensation package in March 2022, when Mr. Liaw was promoted to co-chief executive officer. For Mr. Liaw's 2022 compensation package, we calculated the total value of the subject stock options and restricted stock units, and then in addition to normal time-based vesting, in which 20% of the awards vest on the first anniversary of the date of grant and with the remainder vesting monthly over the succeeding 48 months – we applied a special performance-based condition to a number of the stock options with a value representing approximately 54% of the total value of the equity incentive awards. For the stock options subject to the special

COPART, INC. 43 2025 PROXY STATEMENT

EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

performance-based vesting conditions, Mr. Liaw is not be able to exercise any portion of the stock option award unless our stock price is at least 125% of the option exercise price both (1) at the time of any exercise, and (2) at the close of trading of the trailing twenty consecutive trading days prior to any exercise.

Our Compensation Committee took the same approach with Ms. Stearns' equity compensation award, and applied the same special performance-based condition to a number of her stock options with a value representing 48.3% of the total value of her onboarding equity incentive awards. Our Compensation Committee again used the same approach for Ms. Stearns' stock option awards in November 2023, and applied the same special performance-based condition to a number of stock options with a value representing 54% of the total value of her fiscal 2024 equity incentive awards. Our Compensation Committee believes that applying the special performance-based condition to a target of approximately 50% of the total value of any particular equity incentive award to an executive officer is appropriate and reasonable, and informed by applicable published proxy voting guidelines of our largest investors and also the major proxy advisory firms.

Annual cash incentive programs should be performance-based, with more than 50% based on performance against one or more corporate financial metrics that drive stockholder value.

Historically, we have determined annual cash bonus awards based largely on performance relative to Board-approved internal operating plans. Starting in fiscal 2022, the annual cash bonus awards for our eligible NEOs have been provided under a written performance-based executive bonus plan approved by our Compensation Committee. In fiscal 2025, the NEO's annual bonuses were measured 60% based on achievement of an operating income performance metric and 40% based on achievement of their respective personal performance goals. The Compensation Committee believes that using these performance metrics aligns the NEOs' bonus opportunities with the priorities of the Company and ultimately long-term value creation for our stockholders.

A significant portion of our eligible NEOs' target total direct compensation should be at-risk.

Our Compensation Committee believes that a significant portion of our eligible NEOs' target total direct compensation should be at risk, with particular focus on our chief executive officer Jeffrey Liaw considering that our executive chairman A. Jayson Adair receives only $1.00 in annual salary, plus certain employee benefits and approved perquisites. As shown in the chart below, a significant portion of the target total direct compensation for Mr. Liaw constitutes performance-based compensation.

Role of Our Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee of our Board administers our executive compensation programs. The Compensation Committee seeks to ensure that the total compensation paid to our executive officers is fair and reasonable and that it serves the best interests of Copart and our stockholders. In fulfilling its responsibilities, our Compensation Committee:

• participates in the continuing development of, and reviews and approves changes in, our compensation policies;

• reviews and approves each element of executive compensation, taking into consideration recommendations from Mr. Liaw with respect to the other NEOs and the other non-executive members of the senior management team; and

• administers our equity incentive plans, for which it retains authority to approve grants of awards to any of our executive officers.

For executive officers other than Mr. Adair, our Compensation Committee traditionally makes its determinations concerning base salary, cash bonuses, and additional equity incentives (if any) annually after the end of each fiscal year based on a review of our financial performance against the Board-approved operating plan. In making those decisions, the Compensation Committee has placed substantial weight on its own quantitative assessment of our operating performance metrics and has generally not taken a formulaic approach to setting executive compensation.

Role of the Compensation Consultant

Our Compensation Committee has the authority under its charter to engage the services of outside advisors to assist it in evaluating executive compensation programs.

In fiscal 2025, our Compensation Committee engaged Compensia to assist it with updating our peer group, which will be used to help our Compensation Committee determine our NEOs' compensation beginning in fiscal 2026.

In fiscal 2025, Compensia did not provide any services to us other than in its capacity as a consultant to our Compensation Committee, and Compensia did not receive any payments from us other than for such services. After considering the factors specified in the rules of the SEC and the Nasdaq Stock Market, our Compensation Committee believes that Compensia's work on behalf of the Compensation Committee and its relationship with the Compensation Committee has not raised any conflicts of interest.

Use of a Peer Group

As part of its deliberations on Ms. Stearns' compensation as our chief financial officer in fiscal 2025, our Compensation Committee developed an updated peer group in October 2024 in collaboration with Compensia. The peer group was generally chosen based on the following selection criteria as of October 4, 2024:

• *Industry*: companies in a broad set of industries, including diversified support services, interactive media and services, and software, with a focus on online auction/marketplace platforms.

• *Revenue*: companies with four-quarters trailing revenue between approximately $1.6 billion and $27.7 billion, which approximated 0.4 to 6.6 times Copart's four-quarters trailing revenue.

• *Market Capitalization*: companies with 30-day average market capitalization of approximately $10.6 billion to $152.8 billion, which approximated 0.2 to 2.9 times Copart's 30-day average market capitalization.

The peer group consisted of the following companies (which, as of October 4, 2024, had (i) a median four-quarters trailing revenue of $5.35 billion (as compared to Copart's $4.2 billion), and (ii) a median 30-day average market capitalization of $44.7 billion (as compared to Copart's $52.1 billion):

As noted above, Compensia provided data on the compensation provided by this peer group, which was subsequently used to help our Compensation Committee determine the executive compensation for Ms. Stearns in fiscal 2025.

Fiscal 2025 Executive Compensation Program Components

Since April 2009, we have compensated Mr. Adair under an all-equity compensation program that seeks to align the interests of Mr. Adair with the long-term interests of our stockholders, with the most recent stock option grant occurring in June 2020. Other than participating in our employee benefit plans and in certain perquisite programs approved by the Compensation Committee and a $1.00 per year salary, Mr. Adair has refused all other forms of compensation since June 2020.

Our other NEOs receive a mix of short-term and long-term compensation consisting of base salary, annual cash incentive bonus, equity awards and other compensation, including employee benefits plans and certain perquisites. The sections below discuss our fiscal 2025 compensation decisions for our NEOs, other than Mr. Adair.

Base Salary

We provide base salaries to our NEOs (other than Mr. Adair) to compensate them for services rendered during the fiscal year and for retention purposes.

Each NEO's initial base salary is determined through arm's-length negotiation. Our Compensation Committee subsequently reviews and evaluates adjustments to our NEOs' base salaries annually based on the considerations described in the "Compensation-Setting Process" section above. In September 2024, our Compensation Committee approved a 3% merit increase in Ms. Stearns' fiscal 2025 base salary, based on the recommendation of Messrs. Adair and Liaw.

The following table shows the annual base salaries of our NEOs for fiscal 2025 as compared to fiscal 2024.

| &nbsp;&nbsp; **Leah C. Stearns** | $566500 | $583500 | 3.0% |

---

*Annual Performance-Based Cash Bonus Incentive Program* 

We provide our NEOs (other than Mr. Adair) with annual cash incentives under our executive bonus plan, which links cash incentive awards to achieving pre-established performance goals. For fiscal year 2025, the Compensation Committee set the performance metrics used to determine cash incentive awards to a combination of operating income and individual performance goals. The Compensation Committee believes that using these performance metrics aligns the NEOs' bonus opportunities with the priorities of the Company and ultimately long-term value creation for our stockholders.

Financial performance targets are approved by the Compensation Committee in our first fiscal quarter and include payouts for threshold, target and maximum performance. For fiscal year 2025, the Compensation Committee set the following operating income performance thresholds and payout amounts:

---

| | | | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp; PERFORMANCE<br> METRIC | THRESHOLD<br>PERFORMANCE | THRESHOLD<br>PAYOUT | TARGET<br>PERFORMANCE | TARGET<br>PAYOUT | MAXIMUM<br>PERFORMANCE | MAXIMUM<br>PAYOUT |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; Operating Income | $1.3 billion | 93% | $1.8 billion | 100% | $2.3 billion | 107% |

EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

No payout would occur if our fiscal 2025 operating income was less than $1.3 billion. Each $71 million of operating income above or below the $1.8 billion target amount would increase or decrease the payout by 1%.

In September 2024, the Compensation Committee approved fiscal 2025 target bonuses of $1.1 million for Mr. Liaw and $466,800 for Ms. Stearns.

For Mr. Liaw and Ms. Stearns, their fiscal 2025 annual bonuses were measured 60% based on achievement of the operating income performance metric and 40% based on achievement of their respective personal performance goals.

Mr. Liaw had two personal performance goals for fiscal 2025. The first personal performance goal was to develop and deploy differentiated products and services for the Company's insurance customers, including to capture the economic opportunities related to optimizing total loss decision making. The second goal was for the Company to enhance its operational capabilities and develop differentiated products and services to advance its wholesale business. Our Compensation Committee considered objective evidence of his personal performance goal attainment in determining that Mr. Liaw attained 100% of his personal performance goals.

Ms. Stearns also had two personal performance goals. The first goal related to the expansion of strategic financial analysis capabilities and partner with senior leadership to drive operating income leverage and accretive capital allocation. The second goal was for the Company to enhance its International segment profitability margins. Our Compensation Committee reviewed detailed evidence of goal attainment in its determination that Ms. Stearns attained 100% of her personal performance goals.

In fiscal 2025, we achieved operating income of $1.7 billion, which resulted in a 99% payout under the operating income metric. Based on our financial performance and their levels of attainment of their qualitative goals, Mr. Liaw and Ms. Stearns received the bonus payment under our executive bonus plan for fiscal 2025 as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | 2025 Cash Bonus | 2025 Cash Bonus |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; Executive Officer | Target | Actual |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; **Jeffrey Liaw** | $1100000 | $1093400 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; **Leah C. Stearns** | $466800 | $464000 |

---

Equity Compensation

We provide equity awards to our NEOs to align their interests with those of our stockholders and to incentivize and reward the creation of long-term stockholder value.

Mr. Liaw did not receive any equity incentive awards in fiscal 2025, and Mr. Liaw will not be eligible to receive any equity incentive awards until April 1, 2026, which is the fourth anniversary of his appointment as co-chief executive officer.

Ms. Stearns did not receive any equity incentive awards in fiscal 2025.

Benefits and Perquisites

We provide the following benefits to our NEOs, generally on the same basis provided to our other employees: health, dental, and vision insurance, medical and dependent care flexible spending account, short- and long-term disability insurance, accidental death and dismemberment insurance, and a 401(k) plan. We match employee contributions to the 401(k) plan at a rate of 20% of each dollar contributed, up to 15% of annual pay, with a maximum contribution of $4,600 for fiscal 2025.

EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

During fiscal 2025, we provided Mr. Adair with company-owned automobiles that may be used for personal purposes. During fiscal 2025, we also provided monthly automobile expense allowances to Mr. Liaw and Ms. Stearns.

The Compensation Committee determined that Messrs. Adair and Liaw will be required to use corporate aircraft for all travel for corporate security reasons, including personal use. We determined the value of personal use of corporate-owned or leased aircraft based on the aggregate incremental cost to us for such use. Variable operating costs include fuel, certain maintenance costs, navigation fees, on-board catering, landing fees, crew travel expenses, and other miscellaneous variable costs. The total annual variable costs are divided by the annual number of hours the Company aircraft flew to derive an average variable cost per hour. This average variable cost per hour is then multiplied by the hours flown for personal use. Incremental costs do not include fixed costs that do not change based on usage, such as pilots' salaries, the purchase costs of company-owned aircraft, insurance, scheduled maintenance, and non-trip related hangar expenses.

Post-Employment Obligations

Each of our executives is an "at will" employee. We are a party to written employment agreements with Mr. Liaw and Ms. Stearns, each of which provides, under certain circumstances, for certain payments upon involuntary termination of employment or resignation for "good reason" (as defined in the agreement). Our Compensation Committee believes the terms of the agreements are fair and reasonable and are in our best interests and in the best interests of our stockholders, because they reduce the potential distraction caused by the possibility of an involuntary termination or a change in control and thereby allow our NEOs to maintain continued focus and dedication to their responsibilities. For a description of the material terms of the agreements, please see "*Employment Contracts and Severance Arrangements with Named Executive Officers*" in the section entitled "*Potential Post-Employment Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control*" included in this proxy statement.

Compensation Policies

Equity Grant Practices

Our Compensation Committee and Board have adopted a policy with respect to the grant of stock options and other equity incentive awards that generally prohibits the grant of stock options or other equity awards to executive officers during closed quarterly trading windows (as determined in accordance with our insider trading policy). In addition, the equity grant policy requires that all equity awards made to executive officers be approved at meetings of our Compensation Committee rather than by written consent of the Committee.

No Hedging or Pledging

Our insider trading policy precludes our officers, directors, employees, consultants, agents and contractors from engaging in short sales that involve our securities. The policy also precludes these individuals from engaging in transactions in publicly-traded options, such as puts and calls, and other derivative securities with respect to our securities (other than compensatory awards that we issue to such individuals). This prohibition extends to any hedging or similar transaction designed to decrease the risks associated with holding our securities. In addition, the policy generally prohibits covered individuals from pledging our securities as collateral for any loan (or as part of any other pledging transaction) or holding our common stock in margin accounts. In September 2025, our Board granted a waiver of the anti-pledging prohibition to Mr. Johnson, our Chairman of the Board, that allows him to pledge an amount not to exceed 20% of the shares that he beneficially owns as collateral for personal loans. Our Board considered the magnitude of Mr. Johnson's share holdings of our common stock (both in terms of the absolute number of shares pledged and on a percentage basis relative to the number of shares outstanding); whether the number of shares pledged represents a material portion of Mr. Johnson's holdings; and the extent to which the pledged securities, if any, would be subject to any forced sale requirements (including the timing associated with any such forced sale requirement). After taking those factors into account, our Board determined that Mr. Johnson's unique facts and circumstances supported the reasonableness of the waiver it granted to him with respect to pledging our securities as collateral for personal loans.

Executive Officer Equity Ownership Policy

We have adopted an Executive Officer Equity Ownership Policy, which is designed to encourage our executive officers to build and maintain a meaningful equity ownership position in our stock, in order to better align the interests of our executive officers with the interests of our stockholders. The Executive Officer Equity Ownership Policy prohibits each of our executive officers from selling any shares of our stock that the executive officer directly or beneficially own unless, both before and after the proposed sale, the executive officer holds equity interests — including vested equity awards — with a fair market value as of the proposed transaction date greater than or equal to three times the cash portion of the executive officer's then-current annual salary. We are in full compliance with our Executive Officer Equity Ownership Policy.

Executive Officer Claw-Back Policy

In September 2023, our Board adopted an executive officer compensation recovery, or "claw-back" policy to comply with the requirements of the Dodd-Frank Act, as implemented by Nasdaq rules and the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and regulations. The policy allows us to recover certain cash or equity-based incentive compensation payments or awards made or granted to an executive officer in the event we are required to prepare an accounting restatement due to our material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, including any required accounting restatement to correct an error in previously issued financial statements that is material to the previously issued financial statements, or that would result in a material misstatement if the error were corrected in the current period or left uncorrected in the current period (an "Accounting Restatement"). The policy covers cash or equity-based compensation that is granted, earned, or vested based wholly or in part upon the attainment of a company financial reporting measure (including stock price or total stockholder return). Recovery under the policy applies to incentive compensation subject to the policy that is received (i) on or after October 2, 2023, (ii) by a person after such individual became an executive officer and the person served as an executive officer at any time during the performance period to which the incentive compensation applies and (iii) during the three completed fiscal years immediately preceding the earliest to occur of (A) the date our Board, a committee of our Board or one or more of our officers authorized to take such action if action by our Board is not required, concludes, or reasonably should have concluded, that we are required to prepare an Accounting Restatement and (B) the date a court, regulator, or other legally authorized body directs us to prepare an Accounting Restatement. In addition, no recovery can be made unless the executive officer received incentive compensation that exceeds the amount of incentive compensation that otherwise would have been received had such incentive compensation been determined based on the restated amounts. The full text of our "claw-back" policy is included as Exhibit 97.1 to our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2024.

Other Considerations

Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code

Section 409A imposes additional significant taxes in the event an executive officer, director, or other service provider for the Company receives "deferred compensation" that does not satisfy the requirements of section 409A. Although we do not maintain a traditional deferred compensation plan, section 409A may apply to certain severance arrangements and equity awards. Consequently, to assist the affected employee in avoiding additional tax and penalties under section 409A, we developed the severance arrangements described above in "Post-Employment Obligations" to either avoid the application of section 409A or, to the extent doing so is not possible, comply with the applicable section 409A requirements.

## EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION TABLES
Equity Award Timing Procedures

In accordance with Item 402(x) of Regulation S-K, we are providing information regarding our procedures related to the grant of certain equity awards close in time to the release of material non-public information. Although we do not have a formal policy or obligation that requires us to award equity or equity-based compensation on specific dates, our Compensation Committee and Board have adopted a policy with respect to the grant of stock options and other equity incentive awards that generally prohibits the grant of stock options or other equity awards to executive officers during closed quarterly trading windows (as determined in accordance with our insider trading policy). Our insider trading policy also prohibits directors, officers and employees from trading in our common stock while in possession of or on the basis of material non-public information about us. Neither our Board nor our Compensation Committee takes material non-public information into account when determining the timing of equity awards, nor do we time the disclosure of material non-public information for the purpose of impacting the value of executive compensation. We generally issue equity awards to our executive officers on a limited and infrequent basis, and not in accordance with any fixed schedule.

During fiscal 2025, there were no equity awards to any named executive officers within four business days preceding the filing of a periodic report on a Form 10-K, Form 10-Q, or Form 8-K disclosing material nonpublic information regarding the Company.

Pay Ratio

As required by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship of the median annual total compensation of our employees and the annual total compensation of Jeffrey Liaw, chief executive officer. We believe our compensation practices and level of compensation are appropriate and competitive with opportunities in our industry, in each of the geographic markets in which we operate, and at all levels of the organization.

For fiscal year 2025, our last completed fiscal year:

• the median of the annual total compensation of all employees of our company (other than our chief executive officer), was $44,620; and

• the annual total compensation of Jeffrey Liaw, our chief executive officer, as reported in our 2025 Summary Compensation Table, was $2,072,692.

Based on this information, for fiscal year 2025, the ratio of the annual total compensation of Mr. Liaw, our chief executive officer, to the median annual total compensation of employees was 46 to 1. These pay ratios are reasonable estimates calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K.

To identify the median of the annual total compensation of all our employees, as well as to determine the annual total compensation of the "median employee," the methodology and the material assumptions, adjustments, and estimates that we used were as follows:

• We selected June 30, 2025 as the date upon which we would identify the median employee.

• As of June 30, 2025, our employee population consisted of approximately 11,600 individuals, including employees in Bahrain, Brazil, Canada, Finland, Germany, India, Oman, the Republic of Ireland, Spain, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, and the United States. All of these employees were included in the determination of the median employee.

• To identify the "median employee" from our employee population, we used actual pay earnings from July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025 (the "compensation measure").

• The compensation measure included base salary (including any paid overtime) and bonus payments.

• We annualized the base salary of all permanent employees who did not work for us or our subsidiaries for the entire twelve-month period ending June 30, 2025.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION TABLES

• Amounts paid in foreign currency were converted into United States dollars using average exchange rates in effect during the twelve-month period ending June 30, 2025.

• With respect to the annual total compensation of the "median employee," we identified and calculated the elements of such employee's compensation for fiscal year 2025 in accordance with the requirements of Item 402(c)(2)(x) of Regulation S-K, resulting in annual total compensation of $44,620.

• With respect to the annual total compensation for our chief executive officer, we used the amount reported in the "Total" column of our 2025 Summary Compensation Table.

**(1)** The figures shown in the "Salary" column of this table reflect the amount actually received by the NEO as base salary during a specified year, not the NEO's annual rate of pay for the applicable year. The rates of pay are most likely higher than amounts shown if an NEO began employment with us during a particular year or if an NEO received a salary increase during the year.

**(2)** Amounts shown do not reflect compensation actually received by the named executive officers. Instead, amounts shown represent the grant date fair values of awards computed in accordance with ASC Topic 718. The values shown in this column do not represent the amounts that may eventually be realized by the NEOs. The amounts reported do not include any reduction in the value of the awards for the possibility of forfeiture. Assumptions used in the calculation of these amounts are included in Note 12, "Stockholders' Equity" to our consolidated financial statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2025.

**(3)** Consists of $58,692 related to personal use of company-owned automobiles, $349,638 related to Mr. Adair's personal use of the company's aircraft during fiscal 2025, and $23,481 in medical, dental, and vision benefits during fiscal year 2025. We determine the value of personal use of corporate-owned or leased aircraft based on the aggregate incremental cost to us for such use. We calculate the incremental cost to the company for personal use of company aircraft based on the average variable operating costs to the company. Variable operating costs include fuel, certain maintenance costs, navigation fees, on-board catering, landing fees, crew travel expenses, and other miscellaneous variable costs. The total annual variable costs are divided by the annual number of hours the company aircraft flew to derive an average variable cost per hour. This average variable cost per hour is then multiplied by the hours flown for personal use. Incremental costs do not include fixed costs that do not change based on usage, such as pilots' salaries, the purchase cost of company-owned aircraft, insurance, scheduled maintenance, and non-trip related hangar expenses.

**(4)** Consists of $9,000 related to an automobile allowance during fiscal year 2025, $64,823 related to Mr. Liaw's personal use of the company's aircraft during fiscal 2025, and $5,469 in employer-paid contributions to Copart's 401(k) retirement savings plan on behalf of Mr. Liaw.

**(5)** Consists of $9,000 related to an automobile allowance during fiscal year 2025, and $2,714 in employer-paid contributions to Copart's 401(k) retirement savings plan on behalf of Ms. Stearns.

Potential Post-Employment Payments upon Termination or Change in Control

Employment Contracts and Severance Arrangements with Named Executive Officers

We are a party to written employment agreements with Jeffrey Liaw, our chief executive officer, and Leah C. Stearns, our senior vice president and chief financial officer. These employment agreements set forth the base salary, bonus opportunity, benefits, and the responsibilities of the position, as applicable, in effect at the time of execution of the agreement. In addition, the executive employment agreements require (or required) us to provide compensation to the executive in the event of termination of employment under certain circumstances.

COPART, INC. 57 2025 PROXY STATEMENT

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION TABLES

Mr. Liaw's employment agreement provides that in the event his employment is involuntarily terminated other than for disability or "cause" or he resigns from his employment for "good reason" (as defined in the employment agreement), and conditioned on his executing a severance agreement and release of claims, he will be entitled to a lump sum payment equal to fifty percent (50%) of his then-current annual base salary, less applicable tax withholding. His employment agreement also provides that in the event his employment is terminated for any reason other than as previously described, including by reason of death or disability or "cause," then he shall be entitled to receive severance benefits as provided under our then-existing severance and benefit plans and policies at the time of termination.

Ms. Stearns' employment agreement provides that in the event her employment is involuntarily terminated other than for disability or "cause" or she resigned from her employment for "good reason" (as defined in the employment agreement), and conditioned on her executing a severance agreement and release of claims, she would be entitled to a lump sum payment equal to fifty percent (50%) of her then-current annual base salary, less applicable tax withholding. Her employment agreement also provided that in the event her employment was terminated for any reason other than as previously described, including by reason of death or disability or "cause," then she would be entitled to receive severance benefits as provided under our then-existing severance and benefit plans and policies at the time of termination.

In the executive employment agreements, "cause" means any of the following: (i) willful or grossly negligent failure to substantially perform his duties; (ii) commission of gross misconduct which is injurious to us; (iii) breach of a material provision of the employment agreement or agreements incorporated therein; (iv) material violation of a federal or state law or regulation applicable to our business; (v) misappropriation or embezzlement of our funds or an act of fraud or dishonesty upon us made by the executive; (vi) conviction of, or plea of *nolo contendere* to, a felony; or (vii) continued failure to comply with directives of senior management.

In the executive employment agreements, "good reason" means the executive's resignation, if one or more of the following events shall have occurred without his consent (and following any applicable cure period): without the executive's prior written consent, (i) the assignment to the executive of any duties or the reduction of the executive's duties, either of which results in a material diminution in the executive's position or responsibilities in effect immediately prior to such assignment, or the removal of the executive from such position and responsibilities; (ii) a material reduction by us in his base salary as in effect immediately prior to such reduction; or (iii) any material breach by us of any material provision of the employment agreement.

Change in Control Provisions

Our Amended and Restated 2007 Equity Incentive Plan does not provide for the acceleration of outstanding options or other equity incentive awards in the event of a change in control (as defined in the plans), except in the limited circumstance where the successor corporation does not assume our outstanding options. When a successor

corporation does not assume our options in the event of an acquisition or merger, the optionee will have the right to exercise the option or stock purchase right as to all the shares underlying the applicable options, including shares not otherwise vested or exercisable. The right to exercise the option or stock purchase right applies to all of our employees, including our named executive officers.

Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control

Mr. Liaw and Ms. Stearns are our only named executive officers who had an employment agreement as of July 31, 2025.

On the assumption that an involuntary termination of employment (including resignation for "good reason") of Mr. Liaw took place on July 31, 2025, whether before or after a change in control, Mr. Liaw would have been entitled to receive a lump-sum severance payment totaling $450,000, the equivalent of fifty percent (50%) of his then-current base salary, less applicable tax withholding.

Pay Versus Performance

In this section, as required by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about "compensation actually paid" and the financial performance of the Company. The following table shows, for the past three fiscal years, the total compensation as reported in the Summary Compensation Table for our co-chief executive officers and the average for our other NEOs, the compensation actually paid to our CEOs and, on an average basis, our other NEOs, our Total Shareholder Return ("TSR"), our Peer Group TSR, our Net Income, and our company-selected measure for fiscal year 2025, Operating Income. To determine compensation actually paid, we are required to make various adjustments to amounts that have been reported in the Summary Compensation Table, as the SEC's rule for calculating compensation actually paid emphasize the changes in fair value of equity awards under applicable financial accounting standards (as further detailed in footnotes below).

The assumptions used for purposes of calculating fair values of options as of the vest date or fiscal year-end date are the same as the assumptions used for purposes of calculating the grant date fair value of options, except that we determine expected lives of options based on the "simplified method" using an average of the remaining vest and remaining term, as of the vest date or fiscal year-end date, and the risk-free rate is based on the Treasury Constant Maturity rate closest to the remaining expected life, as of the vest date or fiscal year-end date.

Under SEC rules, a related person is any person who is or was since the beginning of the last fiscal year a director, officer, nominee for director, or 5% stockholder of Copart (and any of his or her immediate family members).

Our Audit Committee has adopted a written policy with respect to related person transactions. Under the policy, any request for us to enter into a transaction with an executive officer, director, principal stockholder, or any of their immediate family members or affiliates, in which the amount involved exceeds $120,000 must first be presented to our Audit Committee for review, consideration, and approval. In approving or rejecting any such proposal, our Audit Committee is to consider the relevant facts and circumstances available and deemed relevant to the Audit Committee, including, but not limited to, whether the transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third party under the same or similar circumstances and the extent of the related party's interest in the transaction.

Related Person Transactions

From the beginning of fiscal 2025 and to October 24 of fiscal 2026, we engaged in the related person transactions described in this section, all of which were reviewed and approved in advance by our Audit Committee. We believe that the terms of these transactions were no less favorable to us than could have been obtained from unaffiliated third parties.

Related Party Employment

We employ Brett Adair, the brother of A. Jayson Adair, our executive chairman, in a non-executive officer position. In fiscal 2025, we paid Mr. Brett Adair a total of $410,905, consisting of $250,405 in base salary, and $160,000 as a cash bonus. Mr. Brett Adair's cash bonus was earned in fiscal 2025 and paid in fiscal 2026. In addition, Mr. Brett Adair is given a monthly automobile expense allowance of $500, and from time to time, A. Jayson Adair invites Mr. Brett Adair to accompany him on the Company's aircraft for personal use in accordance with our Corporate Aircraft Personal Use Policy.

We employ Diane Yassa, daughter of James E. Meeks, a member of our Board, in a non-executive officer position. In fiscal 2025, we paid Ms. Yassa a total of $326,993, consisting of $241,993 in base salary, and $85,000 as a cash bonus. Ms. Yassa's cash bonus was earned in fiscal 2025 and paid in fiscal 2026.

Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires Copart's directors, executive officers, and 10% stockholders to file forms with the SEC to report their ownership of Copart shares and any changes in ownership. Anyone required to file forms with the SEC must also send copies of the forms to Copart. We have reviewed all forms provided to us. Based on that review and on written information given to us by our executive officers and directors we determined that during fiscal year 2025 we had no delinquent Section 16(a) reports, except for one Form 4 filing reporting certain gift transfers by A. Jayson Adair, which was due on January 8, 2025 and filed on October 16, 2025.

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE PROXY MATERIALS AND ANNUAL MEETING

Q: WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HOLDING SHARES AS A STOCKHOLDER OF RECORD AND AS A BENEFICIAL OWNER?

A: *Stockholders of Record*

If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., you are considered, with respect to those shares, the *stockholder of record*, and these proxy materials were sent directly to you by Copart. As the *stockholder of record*, you have the right to grant your voting proxy directly to our designated proxies or to vote in person at the annual meeting. We have enclosed or sent a proxy card for you to use with the printed proxy materials delivered to you. You may also vote on the Internet or by telephone, as described below under the heading *"How can I vote my shares without attending the Annual Meeting?"* and on your proxy card.

*Beneficial Owners* 

Many of our stockholders hold their shares through a broker, trustee or other nominee, rather than directly in their own name. If your shares are held in a brokerage account or by a bank or another nominee, you are considered the *beneficial owner* of shares held in "street name." The proxy materials were forwarded to you by your broker, trustee or nominee who is considered, with respect to those shares, the stockholder of record.

As a *beneficial owner*, you have the right to direct your broker, trustee, or other nominee on how to vote your shares. For directions on how to vote shares beneficially held in street name, please refer to the voting instruction card provided by your broker, trustee, or nominee. You are also invited to attend the annual meeting. However, because a *beneficial owner* is not the stockholder of record, you may not vote these shares in person at the annual meeting unless you obtain a legal proxy from the broker, trustee, or nominee that holds your shares, giving you the right to vote the shares at the annual meeting.

Q: HOW CAN I CONTACT COPART'S TRANSFER AGENT?

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| A: | You may contact our transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., by telephone at (877) 282-1168, or by writing Computershare Trust Company, N.A., P.O. Box 505000, Louisville, Kentucky 40233-5000. You may also access instructions with respect to certain stockholder matters (*e.g*., lost share certificates, change of address) via the Internet at www.computershare.com/investor.  |

---

Q: HOW CAN I ATTEND THE ANNUAL MEETING?

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| A: | You are invited to attend the annual meeting if you were a stockholder of record as of the record date, October 10, 2025, you hold a valid proxy for the annual meeting, or you are a beneficial owner as of the record date, October 10, 2025. If you are a stockholder of record, meaning you hold shares directly in your name with Computershare Trust Company, N.A., please bring government-issued photo identification for entrance to the annual meeting. If you are not a stockholder of record but hold shares as a beneficial owner in street name, you should provide proof of beneficial ownership as of the record date, such as your most recent account statement reflecting stock ownership on the record date, October 10, 2025, together with government-issued photo identification.  |

---

If you do not comply with the procedures outlined above, you may not be admitted to the annual meeting.

Please let us know if you plan to attend the meeting by marking the appropriate box on the proxy card, or, if you vote by telephone or by Internet, by indicating your plans when prompted.

Q: WILL THE ANNUAL MEETING BE WEBCAST?

A: We do not expect to webcast the annual meeting.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE PROXY MATERIALS AND ANNUAL MEETING

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Q: | HOW CAN I VOTE MY SHARES IN PERSON AT THE ANNUAL MEETING?  |

---

A: *Stockholders of Record*

Shares held in your name as the stockholder of record may be voted by you in person at the annual meeting.

*Beneficial Owners*

Shares held beneficially in street name may be voted by you in person at the annual meeting only if you obtain a legal proxy from the broker, trustee, or other nominee that holds your shares giving you the right to vote the shares.

Even if you plan to attend the annual meeting, we recommend that you also submit your proxy or voting instructions as described below so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend the annual meeting.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Q: | HOW CAN I VOTE MY SHARES WITHOUT ATTENDING THE ANNUAL MEETING?  |

---

A: *By Internet*

You can vote via the Internet by following the instructions provided on your Internet Notice or proxy card.

Telephone and Internet voting facilities for stockholders of record will be available twenty-four hours a day until 1:00 a.m., Central Standard Time, on Friday, December 5, 2025. If you vote by telephone or the Internet, you do not need to return your proxy or voting instruction card.

If you are a beneficial owner of shares, your broker, trustee, or nominee may make telephone or Internet voting available to you. The availability of telephone and Internet voting for beneficial owners will depend on the voting processes of your broker, trustee, or nominee. Therefore, we recommend that you follow the voting instructions in the materials you receive.

*By telephone*

You can vote by calling the toll-free telephone number on your proxy card. Please have your proxy card handy when you call. Easy-to-follow voice prompts will allow you to vote your shares and confirm that your instructions have been properly recorded.

*By mail*

Please complete, sign, and date the proxy or voting instruction card and return it in the prepaid envelope at any time prior to the annual meeting. If you are a stockholder of record and you return your signed proxy card but do not indicate your voting preferences, the persons named on the proxy card will vote the shares represented by your proxy card as recommended by our Board.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Q: | CAN I CHANGE MY VOTE OR REVOKE MY PROXY?  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| A: | Yes, you have the right to revoke your proxy at any time prior to the time your shares are voted. If you are the stockholder of record, you may revoke your vote by (i) granting a new proxy bearing a later date (which automatically revokes the earlier proxy) using any of the methods described above under the subheading "*How can I vote my shares without attending the annual meeting?*" (and until the applicable deadline for each method), (ii) providing a written notice of revocation to our corporate secretary at Copart, Inc., Copart Tower, 14185 Dallas Parkway, Suite 300, Dallas, Texas 75254, Attn: Paul K. Kirkpatrick, prior to your shares being voted, or (iii) attending the annual meeting and voting in person. Attendance at the meeting will not cause your previously granted proxy to be revoked unless you specifically so request.  |

---

For shares you hold beneficially in street name, you may change your vote by submitting new voting instructions to your broker, trustee, or nominee following the instructions they provided or, if you have obtained a legal proxy from your broker, trustee, or nominee giving you the right to vote your shares, by attending the annual meeting and voting in person.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE PROXY MATERIALS AND ANNUAL MEETING

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Q: | IS THERE A LIST OF STOCKHOLDERS ENTITLED TO VOTE AT THE ANNUAL MEETING?  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| A: | The names of stockholders of record entitled to vote at the annual meeting will be available at the annual meeting and for ten days prior to the meeting for any purpose germane to the meeting, between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Central Standard Time, at our corporate headquarters located at Copart Tower, 14185 Dallas Parkway, Suite 300, Dallas, Texas 75254, by contacting our corporate secretary.  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Q: | IS MY VOTE CONFIDENTIAL?  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| A: | Proxy instructions, ballots, and voting tabulations that identify individual stockholders are handled in a manner that protects your voting privacy. Your vote will not be disclosed either within Copart or to third parties, except as necessary to meet applicable legal requirements, to allow for the tabulation of votes and certification of the vote, or to facilitate a successful proxy solicitation.  |

---

Q: HOW MANY SHARES MUST BE PRESENT OR REPRESENTED TO CONDUCT BUSINESS AT THE ANNUAL MEETING?

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| A: | A quorum is the minimum number of shares required to be present at the annual meeting to properly hold an annual meeting of stockholders and conduct business under our bylaws and Delaware law. The holders of a majority of the voting power of all of the shares of the stock entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at the annual meeting. If there is no quorum, the Chairman of the Board of the annual meeting may adjourn the meeting to another place, if any, date, or time. Abstentions and "broker non-votes" are counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum.  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Q: | WHAT IS A BROKER NON-VOTE?  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| A: | If you are a beneficial owner whose shares are held of record by a broker, trustee, or nominee, you must instruct the broker, trustee, or nominee how to vote your shares. If you do not provide voting instructions, your shares will not be voted on any proposal for which the broker does not have discretionary authority to vote. This is called a "broker non-vote." In these cases, the broker can register your shares as being present at the annual meeting for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum, but will not be able to vote on those matters for which specific authorization is required. If you are a beneficial owner whose shares are held of record by a broker, trustee, or nominee, your broker, trustee, or nominee has discretionary voting authority to vote your shares on the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm (Proposal 3), even if the broker has not received voting instructions from you. However, your broker does not have discretionary authority to vote on the election of directors (Proposal 1) or the advisory (non-binding) vote on the approval of executive compensation (Proposal 2) without instructions from you, in which case a broker non-vote will occur and your shares will not be voted on these matters.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE PROXY MATERIALS AND ANNUAL MEETING

*Election of Directors*

Directors are elected by majority vote, which requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the total votes cast at the annual meeting. For a description of our majority voting standard, please refer to the sections captioned "*Corporate Governance and Board of Directors*". You may vote "FOR", "AGAINST", or "ABSTAIN" for each nominee. Abstentions and broker non-votes are not counted as votes "FOR" or "AGAINST" and will not affect the outcome of the election of directors.

*Advisory (Non-Binding) Vote on Approval of Executive Compensation*

Under our bylaws, the votes cast "FOR" must exceed the votes cast "AGAINST" to approve, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, the compensation of our named executive officers for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2025. You may vote "FOR", "AGAINST", or "ABSTAIN" on this proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes are not counted as votes "FOR" or "AGAINST" and will not affect the outcome of this proposal.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE PROXY MATERIALS AND ANNUAL MEETING

Q: WHAT IS "HOUSEHOLDING" AND HOW DOES IT AFFECT ME?

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| A: | We have adopted a procedure called "householding," which has been approved by the SEC. Under this procedure, we deliver only one copy of the annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2025, Internet Notice and proxy statement to multiple stockholders who share the same address and have the same last name, unless we have received contrary instructions from an affected stockholder. This procedure reduces our printing costs, mailing costs, and fees. Stockholders who participate in householding will continue to be able to receive separate proxy cards.  |

---

We will deliver, promptly upon written or oral request, a separate copy of the annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2025, Internet Notice and proxy statement to any stockholder at a shared address to which a single copy of any of those documents was delivered. To receive a separate copy of the annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2025, Internet Notice and/or proxy statement, you may write to or call our Investor Relations Department at Copart Tower, 14185 Dallas Parkway, Suite 300, Dallas, Texas 75254, telephone (972) 391-5000. Any such request should be made promptly in order to ensure timely delivery. Any stockholders of record who (i) share the same address and currently receive multiple copies of our 2025 Form 10-K, Internet Notice and proxy statement, and (ii) wish to receive only one copy of these materials per household in the future, may contact our Investor Relations Department at the address or telephone number listed above to participate in the householding program.

A number of brokerage firms have instituted householding. If you hold your shares beneficially in street name, please contact your bank, broker, or other holder of record to request information about householding.

Q: WHAT IS THE DEADLINE TO PROPOSE ACTIONS FOR CONSIDERATION AT NEXT YEAR'S ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS OR TO NOMINATE INDIVIDUALS TO SERVE AS DIRECTORS?

A: *Requirements for Stockholder Proposals to be Considered for Inclusion in Our Proxy Materials*

Stockholders may present proper proposals for inclusion in our proxy statement and for consideration at the next annual meeting of stockholders by submitting their proposals in writing to our corporate secretary in a timely manner. For a stockholder proposal to be considered for inclusion in our proxy statement for our 2026 annual meeting of stockholders, our corporate secretary must receive the written proposal at our principal executive offices not later than June 26, 2026 pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"); *provided, however*, that in the event that we hold our 2026 annual meeting of stockholders more than thirty days from the one year anniversary date of the 2025 annual meeting, we will disclose the new deadline by which stockholder proposals must be received under Part II, Item 5 of our earliest possible Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or, if impracticable, by any means reasonably calculated to inform stockholders. All stockholder proposals must otherwise comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act, regarding the inclusion of stockholder proposals in company-sponsored proxy materials. Proposals should be addressed to:

Copart, Inc.

Copart Tower

Attn: Corporate Secretary

14185 Dallas Parkway, Suite 300

Dallas, Texas 75254

The submission of a stockholder proposal does not guarantee that it will be included in Copart's proxy statement or proxy.

*Requirements for Stockholder Proposals to be Brought Before the 2025 Annual Meeting* 

Our bylaws establish an advance notice procedure for stockholders who wish to present a proposal before an annual meeting of stockholders, but do not intend for the proposal to be included in our proxy statement. Our bylaws provide that the only business that may be conducted at an annual meeting is business that is (i) specified in our proxy materials with respect to such meeting, (ii) otherwise properly brought before the

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE PROXY MATERIALS AND ANNUAL MEETING

meeting by or at the direction of our Board, or (iii) properly brought before the meeting by a stockholder of record entitled to vote at the annual meeting who has delivered timely written notice to our corporate secretary, which notice must contain the information specified in our bylaws. To be timely for our 2025 annual meeting of stockholders, our corporate secretary must receive the written notice at our principal executive offices:

• not earlier than August 10, 2026, and

• not later than the close of business on September 9, 2026.

In the event that we hold our 2026 annual meeting of stockholders more than thirty days before or after December 5, 2026, then notice of a stockholder proposal that is not intended to be included in our proxy statement must be received not later than the close of business on the later of the following two dates:

• the 90th day before such annual meeting; or

• the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made.

If a stockholder who has notified us of his or her intention to present a proposal at an annual meeting does not appear to present his or her proposal at such meeting, we are not required to present the proposal for a vote at such meeting.

*Nomination of Director Candidates* 

Our bylaws permit stockholders to nominate directors for election at an annual meeting of stockholders. To nominate a director, the stockholder must provide the information required by our bylaws. In addition, the stockholder must give timely notice to our corporate secretary in accordance with our bylaws, which, in general, require that the notice be received by our corporate secretary within the time period described above under "*Requirements for Stockholder Proposals to be Brought Before the 2026 Annual Meeting*" for stockholder proposals that are not intended to be included in our proxy statement.

In addition to satisfying the requirements of our bylaws, pursuant to Rule 14a-19 promulgated under the Exchange Act, if you intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than our nominees, then we must receive notice providing the information required by Rule 14a-19 postmarked no later than October 6, 2026. However, if the date of next year's annual meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 30 days after December 5, 2026, then we must receive your notice by the close of business on the later of the sixtieth (60th) day prior to such meeting or the tenth (10th) day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made.

In addition, it is the policy of our Nominating, Governance, and Sustainability Committee to consider recommendations for candidates to the Board from stockholders holding not less than 1% of the outstanding shares of our common stock continuously for at least twelve months prior to the date of submission of the recommendation or nomination. Any such recommendations should include the nominee's name and qualifications for membership on our Board, and should be directed to our chief legal officer at our address set forth above for our corporate secretary. For additional information regarding stockholder recommendations for director candidates, please see the sections entitled "*Corporate Governance and Board of Directors — Director Nomination Process*" and "*Corporate Governance and Board of Directors — Considerations in Identifying and Evaluating Director Nominees*."

*Availability of Bylaws* 

A copy of our current bylaws may be obtained free of charge by written request to our Investor Relations Department c/o Copart, Inc., Copart Tower, 14185 Dallas Parkway, Suite 300, Dallas, Texas 75254.
