Appointment of Thomas W. Reedy as Chief Financial Officer
 
On October 18, 2010, the CarMax, Inc. (the “Company”) board of directors (the “Board”) appointed Thomas W. Reedy as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, effective immediately.  Keith D. Browning, who had served as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, will remain employed by the Company as Executive Vice President, Finance and will assist with Mr. Reedy’s transition to his new role.
 
Mr. Reedy, age 46, joined CarMax in 2003 as its Vice President and Treasurer and, in January 2010, was promoted to Senior Vice President, Finance.  As Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Reedy will receive an annual base salary of $430,000 and his annual bonus target under CarMax’s Annual Performance-Based Bonus Plan will be 40% of his annual base salary.  Pursuant to the terms of the CarMax, Inc. 2002 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended and restated, CarMax will grant to Mr. Reedy options to purchase CarMax common stock with an aggregate grant date fair value of $187,500 and market stock units (“MSUs”) with an aggregate grant date fair value of $62,500.  In accordance with the Company’s Employee Equity Grant Policy, these equity awards will be granted on December 27, 2010, three business days after the Company releases its fiscal 2011 third quarter earnings release.  The terms of Mr. Reedy’s employment with CarMax will continue to be governed by his CarMax, Inc. Severance Agreement, dated August 27, 2007, as amended.
 
In conjunction with the Company’s chief financial officer transition described above, Kim D. Orcutt, age 48, Vice President and Controller, has been appointed as the Company’s principal accounting officer, effective immediately.  No compensatory changes were made related to this appointment.
 
There are no family relationships between either of Mr. Reedy or Ms. Orcutt and any director or executive officer of the Company.  Neither Mr. Reedy nor Ms. Orcutt has any direct or indirect material interest in any transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

On October 18, 2010, the Company’s Compensation and Personnel Committee approved amendments to the Company’s form of notice of stock option grant and the form of notice of MSU grant.  The amendments to each of the forms of notice clarified the definition of “cause” in the context of a termination from employment.  Pursuant to the terms of each of the forms of notice, if a CarMax associate is terminated for cause, his/her options or MSUs, as applicable, would be forfeited.
