Other Events

The Board of Directors of America’s Car-Mart, Inc. (the “Company”) in order to address potential shareholder concerns regarding the number of options, stock appreciation rights or other stock awards intended to be granted in a given year, commits to our shareholders that over the next three fiscal years (commencing on May 1, 2010) it will not grant a number of shares subject to options, stock appreciation rights or other stock awards to executive officers, employees or nonemployee directors at an average rate greater than 3.1% of the number of shares of our common stock that we believe will be outstanding over such three year period. For purposes of calculating the number of shares granted in a year, any full-value awards will count as equivalent to two times the number of shares granted.
