Item 7.01 | Regulation FD Disclosure. |
On April 7, 2020, the Company issued a press release announcing its further response to the coronavirus pandemic, including its plan to furlough certain Company associates. Effective April 18, 2020, approximately 15,500 CarMax associates will be placed on furlough. The majority of furloughed associates are employed at CarMax stores that are currently closed due to government mandates. Any ongoing furlough determinations are subject to change due to future government mandates affecting store openings or closings, as well as future business conditions. Additional steps the Company has taken to align costs with the state of the business include instituting a hiring freeze, reducing inventory levels, reducing marketing spend, ceasing store expansion activity and remodels, and halting the share repurchase program. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference into this Item 7.01.
