Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On June 2, 2015, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Copart, Inc. (the “Company”) approved the amendment of each of the separate Stand-Alone Stock Option Award Agreements dated December 16, 2013, by and between the Company and A. Jayson Adair and Vincent W. Mitz, respectively. Mr. Adair proposed the terms of the amendment as described below to the Compensation Committee, and he and Mr. Mitz have each agreed to their respective amendments. The Stand-Alone Stock Option Award Agreements, as amended and restated on June 2, 2015, are referred to as the “Stock Option Agreements.”

The amendment to the Stock Option Agreements removed a provision providing at times prior to a “change in control” (as defined in the Stock Option Agreements) for the immediate vesting in full of the underlying option upon an involuntary termination of Mr. Adair or Mr. Mitz, as applicable, without “cause” (as defined in the Stock Option Agreements).

Other than the amendment relating to accelerated vesting upon an involuntary termination without cause prior to a change in control, the Stock Option Agreements did not effect any other material amendment or modification relative to such agreements as previously in effect. In particular, the Stock Option Agreements continue to provide for immediate vesting in full of the underlying option upon a termination without “cause” or resignation for “good reason” (as defined in the Stock Option Agreements) that occurs upon or following a change in control of the Company.

The foregoing is a summary description of the material terms of the Stock Option Agreements and is qualified in its entirety by the text of such agreements, copies of which are attached as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, hereto, and incorporated herein by reference.
