Dear Fellow CarMax Shareholders:

I am pleased to invite you to attend the 2022 annual meeting of CarMax, Inc. shareholders, which will be held on Tuesday, June 28, 2022. The attached notice of annual shareholders meeting and proxy statement are your guides to the meeting.

In fiscal year 2022, CarMax achieved record revenue and earnings performance. We continued to innovate and improve our customer offerings. And, consumers are responding to these enhancements, as we grew our market share this past year. In addition, we added the Edmunds business to the CarMax family, further bolstering our digital capabilities. We have remained focused on positioning CarMax for long-term success, and we are excited about our customer-centric, omni-channel strategy and the significant opportunities that lie ahead.

Shareholders will be able to attend and participate in the virtual meeting online, including voting shares and submitting questions. Instructions and information on how to participate in the meeting can be found on page 70 of the proxy statement.

We also are pleased to furnish proxy materials to shareholders primarily over the internet. On or aboutMay 10, 2022, we mailed our shareholders a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials containing instructions on how to access our proxy statement and annual report and to vote online. Internet distribution of our proxy materials expedites receipt by shareholders, lowers the cost of the annual shareholders meeting, and conserves natural resources.

Whether or not you will be attending our virtual annual shareholders meeting, your vote is very important to us. I encourage you to cast your ballot by internet, by telephone, by mail (if you request a paper copy), or during the annual shareholders meeting.

Corporate Responsibility and Governance Highlights

ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP

On March 18, 2021, we announced our commitment to achieving net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050 and a 50% reduction in GHG emissions by 2025. In furtherance of this commitment, we have begun implementing a number of efforts to help achieve that goal. As of February 28, 2022, more than 17% of our total energy consumed came from renewable sources, including wind, solar and biogas. In tandem with our store design and construction protocols, we have taken meaningful steps to improve energy efficiency in our existing retail locations. For example, all of our stores now have LED exterior lighting.

SHAREHOLDER OUTREACH AND ENGAGEMENT

We value engagement with our shareholders. Our senior management team, including our CEO, CFO, and members of our Investor Relations team, maintain regular contact with a broad base of investors to understand their concerns. Additionally, in fiscal 2022, we led a proactive supplemental shareholder outreach program where we held meetings covering a wide variety of topics important to shareholders, including environmental, social, and governance (ESG) matters; our unique CarMax culture; board refreshment, qualifications and diversity; and cybersecurity, among other topics.

PROPOSAL ONE: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

We are asking you to vote for the election of the eleven director nominees listed on the following pages. Our Board has nominated these individuals at the recommendation of our independent Nominating and Governance Committee. The Committee based its recommendation on, among other things, the results of an annual Board and peer evaluation process, as well as the integrity, experience, and skills of each nominee. All of the nominees are current directors who were elected by shareholders at our 2021 annual meeting.

Robert J. Hombach, a director since 2018, has decided not to stand for re-election at this year’s annual meeting and resigned from the Audit Committee, effective March 31, 2022. The Board of Directors thanks Mr. Hombach for his many contributions over the years and his valuable insight to the Board and the Audit Committee.

Our Board is declassified and elected on an annual basis. Accordingly, each director nominee is standing for election to hold office until our 2023 annual meeting of shareholders. CarMax uses a majority vote standard for the election of directors. This means that to be elected in uncontested elections, each nominee must be approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast.

Each nominee has consented to being named in this proxy statement and to serve if elected. If any nominee is not available to serve—for reasons such as death or disability—your proxy will be voted for a substitute nominee if the Board nominates one.

The table below summarizes the key experience, skills and backgrounds of our director nominees and it highlights the balanced mix of experience, skills and backgrounds of the Board as a whole. This high-level summary is not intended to be an exhaustive list of each director nominee’s skills or contributions to the Board.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

CarMax is committed to good corporate governance. In this section of the proxy statement we describe our governance policies and practices and the role our Board plays in shaping them.

Overview

Our business and affairs are managed under the direction of the Board in accordance with the Virginia Stock Corporation Act, our articles of incorporation and our bylaws. The standing committees of the Board are the Audit Committee, the Compensation and Personnel Committee, the Nominating and Governance Committee, and the Technology and Innovation Committee.

The Board and its committees direct our governance practices. The Board has made significant changes to those practices in recent years in response to shareholder feedback and based on evolving practices and the Board’s independent judgment. Demonstrating its continued interest in adopting meaningful shareholder focused changes, since 2011 the Board has:

•added a standing Technology and Innovation Committee;

•approved a majority vote standard for the election of directors;

•established annual elections for all directors;

•adopted a mandatory director retirement policy providing that directors, with limited exceptions, may not stand for reelection after reaching age 76;

•adopted a proxy access right for eligible CarMax shareholders; and

•allowed CarMax’s shareholder rights plan to expire without renewal.

These changes supplement longstanding good governance practices, such as maintaining a largely independent Board (9 of 11 director nominees) and appointing a lead independent director to lead meetings of the independent directors and work alongside the chair.

As part of its commitment to board refreshment and seeking diverse perspectives and skills in new directors, in recent years the Board has added six independent directors (Ms. Chawla in 2017, Mr. Bensen, Mr. Hombach (who is not standing for re-election), Mr. McCreight, and Mr. Satriano in 2018, and Mr. O’Neil in 2019).

In addition to improvements to our governance practices, we have implemented several initiatives and programs to support our commitment to having a positive impact on our people, communities, and the environment. We discuss these initiatives and programs as well as reporting our progress in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) matters in our annual Responsibility Report, which we first published in December 2019. The preparation of the report is overseen by a management-level ESG Leadership Team, which reports directly to Bill Nash, our Chief Executive Officer and President. In addition, the Nominating and Governance Committee has oversight for corporate and social responsibility, environmental, and sustainability matters, including the Responsibility Report. We expect to publish the 2022 Responsibility Report on our website in May 2022.

The Board has approved documents that memorialize our governance standards and practices. These documents include our bylaws, our corporate governance guidelines and a code of business conduct. These documents, each of which is described below, are available under the “Governance” link at investors.carmax.com. We will send you a printed copy of any of these documents without charge, upon written request to our Corporate Secretary at CarMax, Inc., 12800 Tuckahoe Creek Parkway, Richmond, Virginia 23238.

Bylaws	Our bylaws regulate the corporate affairs of CarMax. They include provisions relating to shareholder meetings, voting, the nomination of directors and the proxy access right.
Corporate Governance Guidelines	Our corporate governance guidelines set forth the Board’s practices with respect to its responsibilities, qualifications, performance, direct access to associates and independent advisors, compensation, continuing education, and management evaluation and succession. The guidelines also include director stock ownership requirements.
Code of Business Conduct	Our code of business conduct is the cornerstone of our compliance and ethics program. It applies to all CarMax associates and Board members. It includes provisions relating to honest and ethical conduct, compliance with laws, the handling of confidential information and diversity. It explains how to use our associate help line and related website, both of which allow associates to report misconduct anonymously. It also describes our zero-tolerance policy on retaliation for making such reports. Any amendment to, or waiver from, a provision of this code for our directors or executive officers will be promptly disclosed under the “Governance” link at investors.carmax.com.

Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability

For over 25 years, CarMax has transformed the way people buy and sell cars. When CarMax first opened its doors in 1993, we made a commitment to conduct business in an ethical, honest, and transparent way. As we have grown from that first store to over 200 locations and approximately 33,000 associates, so too has grown our ability to positively impact and support our associates, our customers, our communities, and our environment.

At CarMax, we believe that acting responsibly not only serves our core values but also drives the long-term, sustainable value of CarMax for all of our stakeholders, including our associates, customers, communities, and shareholders.

We continue to develop the governance structure that serves as the foundation of our Environmental, Social, and Governance (“ESG”) efforts. In fiscal 2021, we established a leadership team (which we refer to as our ESGLT) to manage and drive support of our social responsibility initiatives. During fiscal 2022, we more clearly defined the roles of the leaders within this team. Our Vice President of Corporate Social Responsibility (“VP-CSR”) leads our ESGLT and the related Social work tracks. She routinely partners with our Vice President of Store Delivery and Support Services, who oversees our Environmental work tracks, and our Vice President, Deputy General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, who oversees the Governance work tracks. These three associates guide our medium- to long-term ESG strategies and prioritization and ensure alignment of ESG initiatives with senior management and the Board. The ESGLT receives frequent guidance from our President and CEO, who sponsors and oversees the strategy and execution of our ESG work.

Our ESG governance framework is formalized at the Board level through our Nominating and Governance Committee. The Nominating and Governance Committee Charter outlines the responsibility of its members to consider corporate and social responsibility, environmental and sustainability matters as necessary, as well as to make recommendations to the Board, or take action with respect to appropriate ESG matters.

Our ESG oversight structure is specifically designed to ensure deep alignment of our company values and our business strategy, and, in fiscal 2022, with the guidance of a third-party advisor, we identified the key ESG issues most relevant and impactful to our business. We recognize the value of open communication with all of our stakeholders, and we will continue to work relentlessly to ensure we are focused on the issues that matter most.

We organize our approach to responsibility and sustainability around four main pillars: Putting People First, Protecting the Environment, Caring for Our Communities, and Ensuring Responsible Governance and Ethics.

PUTTING PEOPLE FIRST

A FORTUNE “100 Best Companies to Work For®” for eighteen consecutive years, we are proud to provide an award-winning workplace where we help our associates progress on their career journey and achieve their career goals. Our people are our priority and central to our success at CarMax. In fiscal 2022, we amplified the voice of our associates by revamping our

15

employee engagement practices. We increased the frequency of our associate surveys and incorporated questions on inclusion and belonging, to better assess the health and well-being of our associates and our workplace culture.

Building on our long-standing commitment to diversity and inclusion (“D&I”), we further invested in fostering our culture of belonging in 2021. We expanded our D&I team with new members focused on advancing our vision, and fully integrated our diversity and inclusion leaders into our broader CSR team. Additionally, more than 95% of CarMax employees and all of our Board members completed quarterly D&I educational lessons exploring important topics such as unconscious bias, empathy, and allyship in the workplace.

We are also committed to approaching compensation through the lens of equity, with a focus on ensuring that associate compensation is fair, competitive, and that it fully reflects our value of Putting People First. We made good on this commitment in fiscal 2022 and increased the hourly rate for a significant portion of our field associates following a comprehensive review of our Company-wide pay structure. As of February 28, 2022, all of our associates were paid above the applicable minimum wage.

PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT

In 2021, CarMax established greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction targets to demonstrate our commitment to reducing our carbon footprint: we intend to reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 50% by 2025 against our 2018 baseline and achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 in alignment with the Paris Agreement. We plan to report our Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions in our 2022 Responsibility Report. We have continued to focus on decreasing overall energy use and increasing use of renewable energy, while also taking important steps to ensure CarMax has the foundational pieces in place to meet our ambitious emissions goals. All CarMax stores now operate with energy-efficient exterior LED lighting, and we have begun retrofitting interior lighting as well.

CARING FOR OUR COMMUNITIES

We view the success of our business as fundamentally linked to the health and well-being of our local communities. Last year was no exception, and we paired our return to in-person volunteering with new efforts to continue our focus on supporting the communities in which we live and work.

In 2020, we took a strong stand against racial injustice, pledging $1 million to organizations that promote fairness and inclusion. This marked an important step in our journey to create lasting change in our communities. Guided by our values, we were inspired by a desire to affect people’s lives in real, tangible ways and fulfilled our initial commitment by investing in nonprofits making an impact on individuals. We believe that everyone should have the same opportunities to reach their full potential, and we are continuing to focus our efforts on promoting equitable access to economic opportunity in communities nationwide. We are focused on four pathways to achieve economic opportunity for underrepresented communities: education, careers, access to credit and financial education, and entrepreneurship.

In fiscal 2022 we invested more than $9.5 million through The CarMax Foundation and our corporate philanthropy efforts. We also equipped our associates to connect in meaningful ways with their local communities as we continued our work with nonprofits providing individuals with access to economic opportunities, built playgrounds, wrote letters to veterans, packaged care kits for our most vulnerable community members, and volunteered our time to support our communities’ most pressing needs. We also expanded our Care Card program in conjunction with Giving Tuesday, with more than 22,000 associates participating by donating $50 to a nonprofit of their choice, which resulted in donations of over $1.1 million to more than 8,000 nonprofits. These are just a few of the many ways CarMax and our associates supported our local communities over the past year.

ENSURING RESPONSIBLE GOVERNANCE AND ETHICS

Sound Corporate Governance

Our Board and management have adopted governance standards and practices that seek to further our commitment to integrity while ensuring effective enterprise risk management. Our compliance and ethics program works to ensure full legal and regulatory compliance across all aspects of our business.

Ethics

Our fundamental principle of integrity is reflected in the way we serve our customers, treat each other, and deliver our products. We rely on our fair and responsible business practices, our code of business conduct training, and benchmarking and improvements to our compliance and ethics program to maintain our culture of integrity. This culture is a distinct competitive advantage and allows us to attract and maintain a high-performing workforce.

16

Data Security and Consumer Privacy

Our comprehensive, risk-based approach to safeguarding information reflects our commitment to do the right thing and protect the sensitive data of those who trust in us.

As an auto retailer and financial institution, we are required to collect a significant amount of sensitive information to protect our business and our customers from fraudulent activity and to comply with regulatory requirements. As such, we take the responsibly to collect and protect sensitive data seriously and maintain a comprehensive program of technical solutions, procedural requirements and policies, staffed by well-trained and experienced cybersecurity and privacy professionals. Although the risks of cybersecurity breaches are dynamic, and potentially only growing as our reliance on digital operations increases, in the last three fiscal years, to our knowledge no information security breach has resulted in material expenses or the material compromise of our customers’ or employees’ sensitive information. Given the potential impact and dynamic nature of cybersecurity threats, our management team briefs either the full Board or a committee of the Board on a quarterly basis on topics related to technology and cybersecurity risk.

RESPONSIBILITY REPORTING

We publish our Responsibility Report annually, which is available at socialresponsibility.carmax.com. We expect to post the 2022 Responsibility Report in May 2022. The Responsibility Report includes a comprehensive discussion of the initiatives and programs we have implemented to support our commitment to having a positive impact on our people, communities, and the environment. In preparing the Responsibility Report we considered various standards, frameworks, ratings, and rankings for responsibility and sustainability reporting. Several of the metrics and narrative disclosures in the report align with the guidance provided by the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (“SASB”) for the Consumer Goods Sector.

The Responsibility Report is reviewed by our Nominating and Governance Committee and our Board.

Independence

Our Board, in consultation with the Nominating and Governance Committee, evaluates the independence of our directors and director nominees at least annually. The most recent evaluation took place in April 2022. During this evaluation, the Board considered transactions between the directors (and their immediate family members) and the Company and its affiliates. The Board determined that the following directors are independent under the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”):

Peter J. Bensen	David W. McCreight
Ronald E. Blaylock	Mark F. O’Neil
Sona Chawla	Pietro Satriano
Shira Goodman	Marcella Shinder
Robert J. Hombach	Mitchell D. Steenrod

Mr. Folliard is not independent because he was an executive officer of CarMax until 2016, and Mr. Nash is not independent because he is currently an executive officer of CarMax. In assessing independence, the Board considered transactions not just between CarMax and the individual directors themselves (and their immediate family members), but also between CarMax and entities associated with the directors or their immediate family members. The Board’s review included the following:

▪Ms. Chawla joined CDW Corporation as an executive officer in January 2020. CarMax purchased technology solutions from CDW in the ordinary course of business in fiscal 2020, fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2022. In addition, CDW acts as a value-added reseller of Microsoft products to CarMax. While CarMax does not make payments to CDW for this service, CDW does receive compensation from Microsoft in connection with products purchased under this arrangement. The payments from CarMax or in connection with sales to CarMax in each of the last three fiscal years did not exceed the greater of $1 million or 2% of the total net sales of CDW in each year.

The Board determined that this relationship did not impair the independence of Ms. Chawla.

17

Board Leadership Structure

CarMax has historically split the roles of CEO and Board chair. Mr. Folliard was our CEO from 2006 until his retirement in 2016, at which time the Board appointed Mr. Nash as CEO and Mr. Folliard as non-executive chair. The Board determined that Mr. Folliard’s long history of leading the Company uniquely positions him to serve as non-executive chair.

As non-executive chair of our Board, Mr. Folliard is responsible for chairing Board and shareholder meetings, attending meetings of the Board’s committees with the approval of the respective committee, and assisting management in representing CarMax to external groups as needed and as determined by the Board. The Board elects its chair annually.

Mr. Nash oversees the day-to-day affairs of CarMax and directs the formulation and implementation of our strategic plans. We believe that this leadership structure is currently the most appropriate for CarMax because it allows our CEO to focus primarily on our business strategy and operations while leveraging the experience of our chair to direct the business of the Board.

Mr. Steenrod, a director since 2011, was appointed as the Board’s lead independent director in 2019. As lead independent director, Mr. Steenrod serves as the principal liaison between the independent, non-management directors and the CEO, and is responsible for setting the agendas for Board meetings, presiding over executive sessions of the independent directors, coordinating feedback from directors in connection with the evaluations of the CEO and each director, and acting as chair of any Board meeting when the non-executive chair is not present. The Board elects its lead independent director annually.

Our Board periodically reviews this structure and recognizes that, depending on the circumstances, a different leadership model might be appropriate. The Board has no fixed policy on whether the roles of chair and CEO should be separate or combined, which maintains flexibility based on CarMax’s needs and the Board’s assessment of the Company’s leadership. Our corporate governance guidelines do provide that the Board appoint a lead independent director in the event the CEO is elected chair or the chair otherwise does not qualify as independent.

Board Committees

During fiscal 2022, the Board had four standing committees: Audit, Compensation and Personnel, Nominating and Governance and Technology and Innovation. Each committee is composed solely of independent directors as that term is defined in applicable rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the NYSE.

Each committee is composed solely of independent directors.
In addition, all members of the Compensation and Personnel Committee qualify as “outside directors” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code and “non-employee directors” as defined by Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Each committee has a charter that describes the committee’s responsibilities. These charters are available under the “Governance” link at investors.carmax.com or upon written request to our Corporate Secretary at CarMax, Inc., 12800 Tuckahoe Creek Parkway, Richmond, Virginia 23238.

The table below lists the members and summarizes the responsibilities of the four committees.

19

Board and Committee Meetings

During fiscal 2022, our Board met four times and our Board committees met a combined 23 times. Each incumbent director attended 93% or more of the total number of meetings of the Board and the committees on which he or she served. The average attendance of all of our incumbent directors in fiscal 2022 was 98%. We expect our directors to attend the annual meeting of shareholders and all of our incumbent directors did so in 2021.

Our independent directors meet in executive session, without management present, at least once during each regularly scheduled Board meeting. Our lead independent director presides over these executive sessions. In addition, our non-management directors meet in executive session, also without management present, at least once during each regularly scheduled Board meeting. As chair, Mr. Folliard presides over these executive sessions. The table below lists the number of Board and committee meetings in fiscal 2022 and discloses each director’s attendance.

Selection of Directors

CRITERIA

The Board and the Nominating and Governance Committee believe that the Board should include directors with diverse backgrounds and that directors should have, at a minimum, high integrity, sound judgment and significant experience or skills that will benefit the Company. In addition, the Board amended our corporate governance guidelines in 2019 to include an affirmative statement that the Nominating and Governance Committee will consider candidates with diversity of experience and background, including ethnic and gender diversity, when searching for new directors.

20

We believe our Board should include directors with diverse backgrounds, including ethnic and gender diversity. 
The Committee takes into account a number of additional factors in assessing director nominees, including the current size of the Board, the particular challenges facing CarMax, the Board’s need for specific skills or perspectives, and the nominee’s character, reputation, experience, independence from management and ability to devote the requisite time.
We believe that the diverse backgrounds and experiences of our current directors demonstrate the Committee’s success.

PROCESS

The Nominating and Governance Committee screens and recommends candidates for nomination by the Board. The Committee may consider input from several sources, including Board members, shareholders, outside search firms, and management. The Committee evaluates candidates in the same manner regardless of the source of the recommendation, using the criteria summarized above. Shareholders may send their recommendations for director candidates to the attention of our Corporate Secretary at CarMax, Inc., 12800 Tuckahoe Creek Parkway, Richmond, Virginia 23238.

Our bylaws include proxy access provisions, which enable eligible CarMax shareholders to have their own director nominee included in the Company’s proxy materials along with candidates nominated by our Board. Our proxy access right permits an eligible shareholder, or a group of up to 20 shareholders, to nominate and include in CarMax’s proxy materials directors constituting up to 20% of the Board of Directors. To be eligible, the shareholder or shareholder group must have owned 3% or more of our outstanding capital stock continuously for at least three years and satisfy certain notice and other requirements set forth in our bylaws. Shareholders who wish to include director nominations in our proxy statement or nominate directors directly at an annual shareholders meeting must follow the instructions under “Shareholder Proposal Information” on page 74.

EVALUATION AND REFRESHMENT

In connection with the annual election of directors and at other times throughout the year, the Nominating and Governance Committee considers whether our Board has the right mix of skills and experience to meet the challenges facing CarMax. In addition, as reflected in the 2019 amendments to our corporate governance guidelines, the Nominating and Governance Committee strives to ensure that the Board reflects a diversity of experience and background, including ethnic and gender diversity.

One of the processes that assists the Committee in its consideration is our Board’s annual evaluation process. The Board and each of its committees conducts a self-evaluation. In addition, the chair, lead independent director and Committee preside over a thorough peer evaluation process in which every year each individual director completes an individual evaluation for each of the other directors. The collective comments of the directors are compiled and presented by the chair, or by the lead independent director, with respect to the chair’s evaluation, to the full Board for discussion. The results of these evaluations assist the Committee in determining both whether to nominate incumbent directors for reelection and whether to search for additional directors.

As part of its consideration, the Committee reviews both the age and tenure of incumbent directors. Our Board has adopted a mandatory director retirement policy providing that directors may not stand for re-election after reaching age 76. The Board may waive this limitation in appropriate circumstances.

Our Board has undergone significant refreshment in the past several years, with five of our nine independent director nominees having joined the Board since 2017. The fresh perspectives and diversity of skills of the directors recently added to the Board, coupled with the institutional knowledge of the tenured independent directors, provides the Board with ample experience and leadership.

The average tenure of our director nominees is 8 years, and the average age of our director nominees is 58 years.

21

Key Board Responsibilities

BOARD’S ROLE IN SUCCESSION PLANNING

The Board oversees the recruitment, development and retention of executive talent. As part of its oversight, the Board regularly reviews short- and long-term succession plans for the Chief Executive Officer and other executive officer positions. In assessing possible CEO candidates, the independent directors identify the skills, experience and other attributes they believe are required to be an effective CEO in light of CarMax’s business strategies, opportunities and challenges.

The Board also considers its own succession. In doing so, the Nominating and Governance Committee and the Board take into account, among other things, the needs of the Board and the Company in light of the overall composition of the Board with a view to achieving a balance of skills, experience and attributes that would be beneficial to the Board’s oversight role.

BOARD’S ROLE IN STRATEGIC PLANNING

The Board has oversight responsibility for our business strategy and strategic planning. While the formulation and implementation of CarMax’s strategic plan is primarily the responsibility of management, the Board plays an active role. This includes not only monitoring progress made in executing the strategic plan, but also regularly evaluating the strategy in light of evolving operating and economic conditions, shifts in market fundamentals, technology and consumer preferences. The Board carries out its role primarily through regular reviews of the Company’s strategic plan and discussions with management, which include both broad-based presentations and more in-depth analyses and discussions of specific areas of focus. In addition, regular Board meetings throughout the year include presentations and discussions with management on significant initiatives implementing the strategic plan; developments affecting an area of the Company’s business; and on trends, competition, and emerging challenges and opportunities. The Board also reviews the strategic plan, including actions taken and planned to implement the strategy, as part of its review and approval of the annual budget.

The Board’s oversight of risk management enhances the directors’ understanding of the risks associated with the Company’s strategic plan and its ability to provide guidance to and oversight of senior management in executing the Company’s strategy.

BOARD’S ROLE IN RISK OVERSIGHT

Taking reasonable and responsible risks is an inherent part of our strategy and is critical to achieving our strategic objectives. Our Board undertakes its responsibility to oversee risks to CarMax through a risk governance framework designed to:

•identify critical risks;

•allocate responsibilities for overseeing those risks to the Board and its committees; and

•evaluate the Company’s risk management processes.

The Board does not view risk in isolation. Rather, it considers risks in its business decisions and as part of CarMax’s business strategy. This consideration occurs in the ordinary course of the Board’s business and is not tied to any of the formal processes described below, although it is enhanced by those processes.

22

The following table describes the components of CarMax’s risk governance framework.

Assignment of Risk Categories to Board and its Committees	The Board has assigned oversight of certain key risk categories to either the full Board or one of its committees. For each category, management reports regularly to the Board or the assigned committee, as appropriate, describing CarMax’s strategies for monitoring, managing and mitigating risks that fall within that category.   Examples of the risk categories assigned to each committee and the full Board are described below. This list is not comprehensive and is subject to change:
	§	Audit Committee: oversees risks related to financial reporting, compliance and ethics, and legal and regulatory issues.
	§	Compensation and Personnel Committee: oversees risks related to human resources and compensation practices.
	§	Nominating and Governance Committee: oversees risks related to government affairs, CarMax’s reputation, social responsibility, and environmental and sustainability matters.
	§	Technology and Innovation Committee: oversees risks related to information technology, cybersecurity, and business continuity.
	§	Board: oversees risks related to the economy, competition, shareholder relations, finance and strategy.
Enterprise Risk Management	Risk Committee: We have a management-level Risk Committee, which is chaired by Enrique Mayor-Mora, our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), and includes as members other leaders from across CarMax. The Risk Committee meets periodically to identify and discuss the risks facing CarMax.
	Board Reporting: The Risk Committee delivers biannual reports to the Board identifying the most significant risks facing the Company.
	Board Oversight: On an annual basis, Mr. Mayor-Mora, on behalf of the Risk Committee, discusses our procedures for identifying significant risks with the Audit Committee.
Other Processes that Support Risk Oversight and Management	The Board oversees other processes that are not intended primarily to support enterprise risk management, but that assist the Company in identifying and controlling risk. These processes include our compliance and ethics program, our internal audit function, pre-filing review of SEC filings by our management-level disclosure committee, and the work of our independent auditors.

We believe that our Board leadership structure, discussed in detail beginning on page 18, supports the Board’s risk oversight function. Our chair, lead independent director and committee chairs set agendas and lead meetings to ensure strong risk oversight, while our CEO and his management team are charged with managing risk.

Related Person Transactions

Our Board has adopted a written Related Person Transactions Policy that applies to any transaction in which:

•CarMax or one of its affiliates is a participant;

•the amount involved exceeds $120,000; and

•the related person involved in the transaction (whether a director, executive officer, owner of more than 5% of our common stock, or an immediate family member of any such person) has a direct or indirect material interest.

We did not have any related person transactions in fiscal 2022.
A copy of our policy is available under the “Governance” link at investors.carmax.com. The Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing the Company’s policy and reviewing any related person transaction that is required to be disclosed pursuant to SEC rules.

In reviewing related person transactions, the Audit Committee considers, among other things:

•the related person’s relationship to CarMax;

•the facts and circumstances of the proposed transaction;

23

•the aggregate dollar amount involved in the transaction;

•the related person’s interest in the transaction, including his or her position or relationship with, or ownership in, an entity that is a party to, or has an interest in, the transaction; and

•the benefits to CarMax of the proposed transaction and, if applicable, the terms and availability of comparable products and services from unrelated third parties.

The Audit Committee will approve or ratify a related person transaction only if it determines that: (i) the transaction serves the best interests of CarMax and its shareholders; or (ii) the transaction is on terms reasonably comparable to those that could be obtained in arm’s length dealings with an unrelated third party.

We did not have any related person transactions in fiscal 2022.

Shareholder Outreach and Engagement

We believe that strong corporate governance should include engagement with our shareholders to enable us to understand and respond to shareholder concerns. Our senior management team, including our CEO, CFO, and members of our Investor Relations team, maintain regular contact with a broad base of investors, including through quarterly earnings calls, individual meetings, and other channels for communication, to understand their concerns.

Additionally, in fiscal 2022, we led a proactive shareholder outreach program. Our shareholder outreach program is led by a cross-functional team that includes members of our senior management team, Investor Relations, ESG, and Legal functions. Members of our Board are also involved, as appropriate. In fiscal 2022, we held meetings with shareholders representing a significant percentage of our investor base and covered topics important to our shareholders, including environmental, social, and governance (ESG) matters; our unique CarMax culture; board refreshment, qualifications and diversity; and cybersecurity, among other topics.

In the past several years, several enhancements to our policies and practices have been informed by shareholder feedback. For example:

•Our Board of Directors established a Technology and Innovation Committee in 2021.

•We incorporated diversity training goals into our Annual Incentive Bonus Program for fiscal 2022.

•We announced our commitment to achieving net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050 and a 50% reduction in GHG emissions by 2025, compared with a 2018 baseline.

•We expect to disclose EEO-1 data in our 2022 Responsibility Report.

•We committed to provide enhanced transparency regarding our corporate contributions for candidates for public office, as well as our membership in certain trade associations. We expect to publicize this information in our 2022 Responsibility Report.

Shareholder Communication with Directors

Shareholders or other interested parties wishing to contact the Board or any individual director may send correspondence to CarMax, Inc., c/o Corporate Secretary, 12800 Tuckahoe Creek Parkway, Richmond, Virginia 23238, or may send an e-mail to chair@carmax.com, which is monitored by John M. Stuckey, III, our Corporate Secretary. Mr. Stuckey will forward to the Board or appropriate Board member any correspondence that deals with the functions of the Board or its committees or any other matter that would be of interest to the Board. If the correspondence is unrelated to Board or shareholder matters, it will be forwarded to the appropriate department within the Company for further handling.

PROPOSAL TWO: RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF
THE INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

We are asking you to ratify the Audit Committee’s appointment of KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) as CarMax’s independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2023. KPMG has served as our independent registered public accounting firm continuously since our separation from Circuit City Stores, Inc. (“Circuit City”) in fiscal 2003, and also served as Circuit City’s independent registered public accounting firm from the incorporation of CarMax, Inc. in 1996 through the separation. KPMG has been appointed by the Audit Committee to continue as CarMax’s independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2023. The members of the Audit Committee and the Board believe that the continued retention of KPMG to serve as CarMax’s independent registered public accounting firm is in the best interests of CarMax and its shareholders.

The Audit Committee is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention, evaluation, and oversight of the independent registered public accounting firm retained to audit CarMax’s financial statements. In accordance with the SEC-mandated rotation of the audit firm’s lead engagement partner, the Audit Committee and its chairperson are directly involved in the selection of KPMG’s lead engagement partner and were directly involved in the selection of KPMG’s current lead engagement partner, whose period of service began in fiscal 2023. Furthermore, in order to ensure continuing auditor independence, the Audit Committee periodically considers whether there should be a regular rotation of the independent registered public accounting firm.

Although we are not required to seek shareholder ratification, we are doing so as a matter of good corporate governance. If the shareholders do not ratify the appointment of KPMG, the Audit Committee will reconsider its decision. Even if the appointment is ratified, the Audit Committee, in its discretion, may change the appointment at any time during the year if it determines that a change would be in the best interests of CarMax and its shareholders.

We expect that representatives of KPMG will attend the annual shareholders meeting. They will be given the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and to respond to appropriate questions.

The Board recommends a vote FOR Proposal Two.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

The Audit Committee reports to and acts on behalf of CarMax’s Board of Directors by providing oversight of the integrity of the Company’s financial statements, the Company’s independent and internal auditors, and the Company’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. The Audit Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board, which is reviewed annually and is available under the “Governance” link at investors.carmax.com. The members of the Audit Committee meet the independence and financial literacy requirements of the NYSE and the SEC.

Management is responsible for the preparation, presentation and integrity of the Company’s financial statements and the establishment of effective internal control over financial reporting. KPMG, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, is responsible for auditing those financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) and expressing an opinion on the conformity of CarMax’s audited financial statements with generally accepted accounting principles and on the effectiveness of CarMax’s internal controls over financial reporting. In this context, the Audit Committee has met and held discussions with management, KPMG and the Company’s internal auditors, meeting 10 times in fiscal 2022.

Management represented to the Committee that the Company’s fiscal 2022 consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and the Committee reviewed and discussed the fiscal 2022 consolidated financial statements with management and KPMG.

The Committee has discussed with KPMG the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the PCAOB and the SEC, including significant accounting policies and the quality, not just the acceptability, of the accounting principles utilized. The Committee has also received from KPMG the written disclosures and the letter required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent auditor’s communications with the Audit Committee regarding independence, and the Audit Committee has discussed with KPMG the firm’s independence. The Audit Committee concluded that KPMG is independent from the Company and management.

In reliance on these reviews and discussions, the Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2022, for filing with the SEC.

(c)This category includes fees associated with tax compliance, consultation and planning services.

Approval of Auditor Fees and Services

The Audit Committee’s charter provides for pre-approval of audit and non-audit services to be performed by the independent auditors. The Committee typically pre-approves specific types of audit, audit-related and tax services, together with related fee estimates, on an annual basis. The Committee pre-approves all other services on an individual basis throughout the year as the need arises. The Committee has delegated to its chair the authority to pre-approve independent auditor engagements in an amount not to exceed $50,000 per engagement. Any such pre-approvals are reported to and ratified by the entire Committee at its next regular meeting.

All audit, audit-related and tax services in fiscal 2022 were pre-approved by the Audit Committee or pre-approved by the chair pursuant to his delegated authority and subsequently ratified by the Audit Committee. In all cases, the Audit Committee concluded that the provision of such services by KPMG was compatible with the maintenance of KPMG’s independence.

PROPOSAL THREE: ADVISORY RESOLUTION TO
APPROVE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

We are asking you to approve an advisory resolution approving the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in this proxy statement. This vote is commonly referred to as a “Say on Pay” vote and is required by Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Although this resolution is not binding, we value your opinion and our Compensation and Personnel Committee will consider the outcome of this vote when making future decisions.

We believe our executive compensation program promotes the achievement of positive results for our shareholders, aligns pay and performance, and allows us to attract and retain the talented executives that drive our long-term financial success. We urge you to read the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section of this proxy statement beginning on page 29, which describes in more detail how our executive compensation program operates and how it is designed to achieve our compensation objectives. We also encourage you to review the “Summary Compensation Table” and other compensation tables and narratives, found on pages 47 through 63.

We have adopted a policy providing for an annual “Say on Pay” vote. Accordingly, the next advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers will occur in 2023.

Our Board recommends that, on an advisory basis, shareholders vote in favor of the following resolution:

RESOLVED, that the compensation of the named executive officers of CarMax, Inc. (the “Company”), as disclosed in the Company’s 2022 Proxy Statement pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables and the narrative discussion that accompanies the compensation tables, is hereby APPROVED.

The Board recommends a vote FOR Proposal Three.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Overview

The Compensation and Personnel Committee (the “Committee”) oversees an executive compensation program that is intended to drive the creation of long-term shareholder value. This section describes that program and details the compensation earned by our CEO, our CFO, and our three other most highly compensated executive officers, as well as two recently retired executive officers. We refer to these individuals, listed below, as our “named executive officers” or “NEOs.” Our NEOs as of February 28, 2022 are the following.

William D. Nash	President and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Nash joined CarMax in 1997 and was promoted to his current position in 2016. Mr. Nash is also a member of our Board.
Enrique N. Mayor-Mora	Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Mayor-Mora joined CarMax in 2011 and was promoted to his current position in October 2019.
James Lyski	Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer. Mr. Lyski joined CarMax in 2014 and was promoted to his current position in 2017.
Shamim Mohammad	Executive Vice President and Chief Information and Technology Officer. Mr. Mohammad joined CarMax in 2012 and was promoted to his current role in 2021.
Diane L. Cafritz	Senior Vice President, General Counsel, Chief Compliance Officer and Chief Human Resources Officer. Ms. Cafritz joined CarMax in 2003 and was appointed to her current role in 2021.
Edwin J. Hill	Former Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. Mr. Hill retired on January 2, 2022.
Eric M. Margolin	Former Executive Vice President, General Counsel, Chief Compliance Officer and Corporate Secretary. Mr. Margolin retired on August 31, 2021.

Executive Summary

SUMMARY OF FISCAL 2022 COMPENSATION CHANGES FOR OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

Two long-standing CarMax executive officers retired in fiscal 2022, namely Mr. Hill, our Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, and Mr. Margolin, our Executive Vice President, General Counsel, Chief Compliance Officer and Corporate Secretary. And, directly tied to our succession planning efforts, several executive officers took on additional responsibilities. Mr. Lyski, our Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer, assumed management responsibilities for our Edmunds business, upon our Edmunds acquisition in June 2021, as well as management oversight of our business development and certain data analytics functions. Ms. Cafritz, who had previously been serving as our Senior Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer, took on additional responsibilities following Mr. Margolin’s retirement; she now also serves as our General Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer. Mr. Mohammad, previously serving as Senior Vice President and Chief Information and Technology Officer, was recognized for his continued ability to drive innovation and technology-related solutions for our business; he was promoted to Executive Vice President in April 2021.

The following chart summarizes the key compensation elements for fiscal 2022:

29

Compensation Element	Committee Determinations	Why We Made These Determinations
Base Salary	Base salary increases ranging from 3% and 14%	Differentiated increases were awarded to our NEOs related to executive promotions, increasing responsibilities and benchmarking data used to inform pay decisions. See pages 33 and 34 for more detail.
Annual Incentive Bonus	185.6% payout versus a 100% payout in fiscal 2021 Increased target percentage for each NEO	The Committee set bonus goals for fiscal 2022 during the first quarter of the fiscal year. The goals were intended to drive the Company’s financial performance, market share growth, operational execution (in the form of enhancing its online sales capabilities), and associate-wide diversity and inclusion (“D&I”) training. See pages 34 to 37 for more detail. The Committee also reviewed target percentages for our executive officers and determined that the then-current percentages were on the lower end of the market range, and increased that percentage for each NEO between 10 and 17.5 percentage points. See page 34 for more detail.
Long-Term Equity Awards	Return to Performance Stock Units	In fiscal 2022, we granted our NEOs two forms of long-term equity awards: stock options and performance stock units (“PSUs”). Last year, and in light of the continued uncertainty related to the COVID-19 pandemic, we granted our named executive officers market stock units instead of PSUs. For fiscal 2022, the Committee returned to issuing PSUs, tied to our pre-tax EPS performance.

LOOKING FORWARD TO FISCAL 2023

At its meeting in March 2022, the Committee approved the promotions of each of Mr. Mayor-Mora to Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, and Ms. Cafritz to Executive Vice President, General Counsel, Chief Compliance Officer and Chief Human Resources Officer. Mr. Mayor-Mora’s leadership has been pivotal in helping to grow and fund our complex and diversified business, including the addition of Edmunds, our first acquisition, in 2021. Ms. Cafritz’s guidance and counsel has been critical throughout the past several years, as she has led the transformation of our benefits, recruiting and development programs, established our newly formed Corporate Social Responsibility team, and continued to drive our compliance-minded culture.

How We Make Compensation Decisions

The Committee oversees our executive and director compensation programs and determines all executive officer and director compensation.

COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY AND OBJECTIVES

CarMax has a pay-for-performance philosophy. The Committee believes that the best way to implement this philosophy is by tying a significant portion of our executives’ total direct compensation to the attainment of our financial goals and multi-year stock price appreciation. In fiscal 2022, an average of 83% of the target total direct compensation of our CEO and other named executive officers was attributable to annual incentive bonus and long-term equity award compensation and therefore directly tied to CarMax performance. Compensation mix is discussed in more detail on pages 40 and 41.

The Committee has established the following objectives for our executive compensation program:

•Align the interests of executive officers with the financial interests of our shareholders.

•Encourage the achievement of our key strategic, operational and financial goals.

•Link incentive compensation to Company and stock price performance, which the Committee believes promotes a unified vision for senior management and creates common motivation among our executives.

•Attract, retain and motivate executives with the talent necessary to drive our long-term success.

•Provide the Committee the flexibility to respond to the continually changing environment in which we operate.

30

The key elements of our executive compensation program are base salaries, annual incentive bonuses and long-term equity awards. The Committee generally makes determinations regarding long-term equity awards, base salaries and annual incentive bonuses at its March and April meetings. The Committee makes decisions regarding each element of pay to further the objectives described above. The specific ways in which each element of compensation supports these objectives are described beginning on page 33.

The Committee recognizes the impact that an adjustment to one element of compensation may have on other elements. For example, an increase in an officer’s base salary will result in a larger target annual incentive amount since that amount is determined as a percentage of base salary. Although the Committee considers these relationships between the various elements of compensation — and also considers each executive officer’s total compensation — decisions regarding any one element of compensation are not determinative of decisions regarding other elements.

The Committee generally considers the value of stock-based compensation as an element of our executive compensation program at the time of grant of an equity award, not at the time of exercise or vesting. Accordingly, the Committee does not consider the realized value of long-term equity compensation when designing and evaluating our executive compensation program.

COMPENSATION CONSULTANT

The Committee engages a compensation consultant, which it uses to obtain access to independent compensation data, analysis and advice. The Committee retained Semler Brossy Consulting Group, LLC (“Semler Brossy”) to assist it while making decisions regarding the compensation of our executive officers for fiscal 2022. Under its charter, the Committee has the sole authority to hire, oversee and terminate compensation consultants, as well as to approve compensation consultant fees and any other terms of the engagement.

The Committee has retained an independent compensation consultant.
Committee members have direct access to the compensation consultant without going through management. Semler Brossy did not provide any services to CarMax other than those it provided to the Committee.
The Committee assesses its compensation consultant’s independence annually. It assessed Semler Brossy’s independence in April 2021 and 2022, under SEC and NYSE standards and concluded that Semler Brossy was independent.

The Committee considers, among other factors:

•whether the consultant provided other services to CarMax;

•the amount of fees paid by CarMax to the consultant as a percentage of the consultant’s total revenue;

•the consultant’s policies and procedures designed to prevent conflicts of interest;

•any business or personal relationship between the individuals advising the Committee and any Committee member;

•any CarMax stock owned by the individuals advising the Committee; and

•any business or personal relationship between the individuals advising the Committee, or the consultant itself, and an executive officer of CarMax.

The Committee’s compensation consultant frequently attends Committee meetings and provides analysis and recommendations that inform the Committee’s decisions. Semler Brossy assisted the Committee in fiscal 2022 by analyzing and providing recommendations with regard to total direct compensation for the Company’s CEO and executive and senior vice presidents, including the other named executive officers. Semler Brossy also assisted the Committee by providing advice regarding executive compensation decisions made in response to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as general compensation advice, including analysis related to the composition of our peer group and non-employee director pay.

31

MANAGEMENT’S ROLE

Although management does not have any decision-making authority regarding compensation of executive officers, management assists the Committee by recommending base salary levels, annual incentive bonus objectives and targets, and individual long-term equity awards for executives other than the CEO. Management also assists the Committee with the preparation of meeting agendas and prepares materials for those meetings as directed by the Committee.

The Committee has not delegated any authority with respect to the compensation of our executive officers and directors. The Committee, however, has delegated limited authority to our CEO and CFO to grant long-term equity awards to our non-executive officer employees between regularly scheduled Committee meetings in an amount not to exceed 75,000 shares or units. These awards are subject to our Employee Equity Grant Policy, which is available under the “Governance” link at investors.carmax.com. The Committee’s practice is to review and ratify any such grant at its next regularly scheduled meeting.

Notwithstanding the Committee’s use of outside advisers and management’s participation in the executive compensation process, the Committee makes all executive compensation decisions using its own independent judgment.

CONSIDERATION OF THE MOST RECENT ADVISORY “SAY-ON-PAY” VOTE

At the 2021 annual shareholders meeting, our shareholders approved our executive compensation program, with approximately 96% of the votes cast in favor of the program. This represented a significant majority of our shareholders and the Committee was pleased with the response, which followed a similarly strong result at the 2020 meeting when approximately 96% of the votes were cast in favor of the program. The Committee actively monitors shareholder feedback and support of the Company’s pay practices, which it takes into consideration when making executive compensation decisions.

PEER GROUP

Each year, generally in January, in consultation with the independent compensation consultant, the Committee reviews market compensation data provided by its independent consultant to determine whether the compensation opportunities of the named executive officers are appropriate and competitive.

In January 2021, the Committee used the following peer group of companies to assess the market competitiveness of the fiscal 2022 compensation disclosed in this proxy statement. The Committee selected this peer group in October 2017 based on an analysis by Semler Brossy and the Committee’s independent judgment.

All of the peer group companies fell within a reasonable range (both above and below CarMax) of comparative factors such as revenue, market capitalization, net income, revenue growth, assets and one- and three-year total shareholder return. These peers are generally comparable retailers or direct competitors.

Advance Auto Parts, Inc.	Kohl’s Corporation
AutoNation, Inc.	L Brands, Inc.
AutoZone, Inc.	Lowe’s Companies, Inc.
Best Buy Co., Inc.	Macy’s, Inc.
Dick’s Sporting Goods, Inc.	Ross Stores, Inc.
Dollar General Corporation	The Sherwin-Williams Company
Dollar Tree, Inc.	Southwest Airlines Co.
eBay Inc.	The TJX Companies, Inc.
The Gap, Inc.	Tractor Supply Company
Genuine Parts Company

The Committee reviews the peer group at least annually; when conducting its review of the peer group going forward, the Committee decided to make one change. Specifically Southwest Airlines Co. will be dropped from the peer group prospectively and will be replaced with Target Corporation for next year’s assessment. The Committee decided to add Target to the peer group due to, among other reasons, its retail focus, strong performance throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, and cross-over with CarMax in sourcing executive talent. While Southwest shares a reputation with CarMax for its intense customer focus,

32

Southwest is neither a retailer nor a direct competitor to CarMax. Accordingly, the Committee opted to drop Southwest from the peer group.

BENCHMARKING

The Committee considers a blend of peer group data and broader survey data in benchmarking compensation. For fiscal 2022, in addition to the peer group, the Committee considered national compensation surveys produced by Equilar and Willis Towers Watson with a focus on executives within retail/wholesale and automotive industries.

The Committee believes that this mix of data provides the most comprehensive view of executive compensation practices at companies against whom we compete for talent and allows the Committee to ensure that CarMax continues to provide appropriate and competitive compensation. This mix of data also allows the Committee to obtain broader market context with regard to certain positions that may not exist in a comparable form at every company in our peer group or that may not be classified as a named executive officer at every company in our peer group.

The Committee uses peer group and broader survey data as one of many factors in making compensation decisions and does not target named executive officers’ total direct compensation, or any specific element of compensation, at a specific percentile of the blended peer group/survey data. Other factors include individual performance, CarMax performance, tenure, internal pay equity and succession planning.

The Committee generally uses the 50th percentile of the blended peer/survey data as a reference in setting the base salaries and target annual incentive bonus opportunities of our named executive officers. The Committee uses long-term equity awards that are tied to objective performance metrics to further reward executive officers when CarMax performs well. If the Company delivers sustained performance gains, these long-term equity awards are targeted to provide an opportunity for total direct compensation beyond the 50th percentile of the blended peer/survey data.

What We Pay and Why: Elements of Compensation

The key elements of compensation for our named executive officers are base salary, an annual incentive bonus and long-term equity awards. Together, these elements make up total direct compensation.

Base Salary + Annual Incentive
Bonus + Long-Term Equity Awards = Total Direct Compensation

This section describes these elements and details the amounts of each earned by our named executive officers in fiscal 2022.

BASE SALARY

We pay competitive base salaries to retain key officers and attract the new talent necessary for our long-term success. An executive officer’s base salary generally reflects the officer’s responsibilities, tenure and job performance, as well as the market for the officer’s services. The Committee reviews officer base salaries every year, generally in March, and sets the base salary for newly appointed executive officers on their promotion. When the Committee reviews base salaries, it considers the reports and advice provided by its independent compensation consultant and the peer group and survey data described above, as well as the recommendations provided by our CEO (except when setting the CEO’s base salary).

33

At the beginning of fiscal 2022, the Committee approved the base salary adjustments provided below.

Name	Prior Base Salary ($)	Fiscal 2022 Base Salary ($)	Percentage Increase in Approved Base Salary (%)
William D. Nash	1,128,240	1,184,400	5
Enrique N. Mayor-Mora	590,000	665,048	13
James Lyski	557,000	584,850	5
Shamim Mohammad	515,000	566,500	10
Diane L. Cafritz	438,000	500,000	14
Edwin J. Hill	757,050	794,850	5
Eric M. Margolin	648,739	668,470	3

The Committee reviewed base salaries in March 2021. At the start of the fiscal year, the base salaries for each of our NEOs (other than Mr. Margolin) was below the median of the blended peer group/survey data for comparable roles at peer companies. The Committee considered this data as well as the individual contributions and performance of each NEO during the prior fiscal year in setting new base salaries.

The Committee approved a 5% increase in Mr. Nash’s base salary based upon the Company’s performance throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, Mr. Nash’s demonstrated leadership throughout the crisis, his ability to continue to drive the Company’s omni-channel strategy over the course of the prior year and the benchmarking data. Mr. Mayor-Mora’s base salary was increased by 13% in recognition of his continued success serving as the Company’s CFO, a role he initially took on in 2019 as well as the benchmarking data. Notwithstanding this increase, Mr. Mayor-Mora’s base salary remains below the market median as compared to the benchmarking data; which reflects his tenure in his role. Mr. Mohammad was promoted at the start of the fiscal year, and his base salary increased commensurate with his promotion, by 10%. During the fiscal year, Ms. Cafritz took on the General Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer roles, and her base salary was increased by 14% to reflect these new responsibilities. Each of Mr. Lyski and Mr. Hill were awarded a 5% raise in connection with their individual contributions and a consideration of the benchmarking data. Mr. Margolin, whose base salary was generally in line with the 50th percentile of the benchmarking data, received a 3% increase to his base salary in recognition of his individual performance.

In June 2021, CarMax acquired the Edmunds business. At that time, Mr. Lyski took on direct oversight and accountability for Edmunds’ performance. In connection with these increased responsibilities, the Committee increased Mr. Lyski’s base salary by 7.7% to $630,000 in July 2021.

ANNUAL INCENTIVE BONUS

We pay annual incentive bonuses to drive the achievement of CarMax’s financial and strategic goals. The amount of the annual incentive bonus depends on our performance as measured against objective performance goals established by the Committee each fiscal year. Bonuses are not guaranteed.

We calculate bonuses using the following formula:

Base Salary x Target Percentage of
Base Salary x Performance Adjustment
Factor = Annual Incentive Bonus

Base salaries, which are the first component of this formula, are discussed above. The “target percentage of base salary” is an individual’s incentive bonus target expressed as a percentage of base salary. This percentage differs among our named executive officers depending on their level of responsibility. In January 2021, the Committee, in consultation with Semler Brossy, reviewed target percentages for our executive officers and determined that the then-current percentages were on the lower end of the market range, and generally below the median. Accordingly, the Committee approved an increase in these percentages for our named executive officers. For Mr. Nash, this percentage increased from 150% to 160%; for Mr. Lyski, Mr. Hill and Mr. Margolin, it increased from 75% to 85%; for Mr. Mohammad, it increased from 67.5% to 85%; for Mr. Mayor-Mora, it increased from 67.5% to 77.5%; and for Ms. Cafritz, it increased from 60% to 70%. Each named executive officer’s target percentage is also listed in the table on page 37.

34

The last component of the bonus formula – the “performance adjustment factor” – is a percentage representing the Company’s success in meeting the performance goals set by the Committee each fiscal year.

The following narrative describes how the Committee applied this formula in fiscal 2022.

Performance Measures and Related Targets

The Committee set the performance goals at its April 2021 meeting, held during the first quarter of fiscal 2022. The Committee adopted four sets of goals, each intended to drive key short-term strategic imperatives for the year. Specifically, the goals were intended to drive the Company’s fiscal 2022 financial performance, market share growth, operational execution (in the form of enhancing its online sales capabilities), and associate-wide diversity and inclusion (“D&I”) training.

The goals, and relative weights set by the Committee, were:

Goal	Description
Earnings Before Interest and Taxes, or EBIT 30% of performance goal	50% of this goal would be achieved with EBIT performance of $1,234 million. 100% of this goal would be achieved with EBIT performance of $1,293 million. Fiscal 2021 EBIT performance was $1,051 million. Note that the Committee determined to exclude from EBIT the impact of any unrealized gains or losses on equity investments in private companies (or companies in which CarMax initially invested while that company was private but had subsequently gone public); however, the Committee determined to include in EBIT the realized gains and losses in those investments to the extent that such gains or losses were realized in fiscal 2022.
Market Share 30% of performance goal	For calendar 2021, increase the Company’s market share of nationwide age 0- to 10-year old vehicles sold. 50% of this goal would be achieved with a calendar 2021 market share of 3.75%. 100% of this goal would be achieved with a calendar 2021 market share of 4.0%.
Operational Execution: Enabling Online Retail Sales 30% of performance goal	This goal would be achieved upon the deployment of capabilities enabling 100% of our retail customers to engage in online sales via self-progression. These capabilities included the ability to (i) reserve/transfer a car, (ii) finance a car, (iii) trade-in a car, and (iv) build an online sales order.
Diversity and Inclusion (“D&I”) 10% of performance goal	This goal would be achieved if 90% or more of our associates (including our Board of Directors) completed each of our four quarterly foundational Company-wide D&I training modules.

When it approved the foregoing goals, the Committee also determined that the performance adjustment factor would be between 0% and 100%, with the final performance adjustment factor being determined by the Committee in reference to the approved performance goals and their respective weightings. The Committee approved a bonus multiplier to enable the performance adjustment factor to exceed 100%. Assuming EBIT performance exceeded $1,371 million, the performance adjustment factor would be increased by 50%, and if it exceeded $1,409 million, it would be increased by 100%, thereby providing a maximum potential performance adjustment factor of 200%. For amounts falling in between the 100% EBIT goal

35

noted in the table above and each of the bonus multiplier thresholds, the ultimate performance adjustment factor would be determined using straight-line interpolation.

Assess Performance Against Targets and Determine Payout

The Committee assessed the Company’s performance as set forth below.

EBIT Performance

For fiscal 2022, the Company achieved $1,584 million in EBIT, which represents $1,151 million in earnings (i) increased by the $341 million income tax provision and $94 million in interest expense and (ii) reduced by $2.5 million related to an unrealized gain on an investment. Accordingly, the Committee considered the full 30 percentage points of this goal to have been achieved.

Market Share

We estimate our calendar year 2021 market share was 3.97%. Accordingly, the Committee considered 28.2 percentage points of this goal to have been achieved.

Operational Execution: Enabling Online Retail Sales

Throughout fiscal 2022, we consistently improved upon our online sales capabilities. As of the end of the fiscal year, 82% of our retail customers had the ability to complete each of the four online steps noted in the table on page 35. In considering the Company’s performance against this metric, the Committee determined to award partial satisfaction of this goal. Accordingly, the Committee considered 24.6 of the 30 percentage points of this goal to have been achieved.

Diversity and Inclusion

In fiscal 2022, we deployed four D&I-focused training modules to our entire associate population and our Board of Directors. Each training module was also accompanied with training guides, permitting small groups of associates to further engage with the training content and conduct follow-up discussions. Training topics included allyship, micro-behaviors, meaningful actions and emotional intelligence. 90% or more of our associates completed each training module. Further, all of our Board members completed all modules. Accordingly, the Committee considered the full ten percentage points of this goal to have been achieved.

Bonus Multiplier

As noted in the EBIT Performance section above, our total EBIT performance of $1,584 million exceeded the $1,409 million maximum threshold, resulting in a 100% increase in the performance adjustment factor.

In considering the Company’s achievement of the four goal categories, and the bonus multiplier, the Committee set the fiscal 2022 annual incentive bonus performance adjustment factor at 185.6%.

36

The following table shows each named executive officer’s base salary, incentive target percentage of base salary, and target and maximum bonus amounts. The table also shows each officer’s actual fiscal 2022 bonus.

Name	Base Salary ($)	Incentive Target Percentage (%)	Target Incentive Amount ($)	Actual Fiscal 2022 Incentive Bonus ($)	Maximum Incentive Amount ($)
William D. Nash	1,184,400	160	1,895,040	3,517,194	3,790,080
Enrique N. Mayor-Mora	665,048	77.5	515,412	956,605	1,030,824
James Lyski (a)	584,850/630,000	85	521,621	968,129	1,043,242
Shamim Mohammad	566,500	85	481,525	893,710	963,050
Diane L. Cafritz	500,000	70	350,000	649,600	700,000
Edwin J. Hill (b)	794,850	85	570,114	1,058,132	1,140,228
Eric M. Margolin (b)	668,470	85	286,435	531,623	572,870

(a)In July 2021, the Committee approved an increase to Mr. Lyski’s base salary. His bonus for the portion of the fiscal year following this approval was calculated using the new salary.

(b)The target, actual and maximum bonus amounts for each of Mr. Hill and Mr. Margolin are prorated because they retired in fiscal 2022 and were paid pursuant to their severance agreements a pro rata bonus based upon the number of days employed in fiscal 2022.

The Committee sets robust performance targets for our annual incentive plan to drive achievement of CarMax’s financial goals. For the last five fiscal years, our average performance adjustment factor has been 124.4% (185.6%, 100%, 126.5%, 100.0%, and 109.7% for fiscal 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively), meaning that, on average for the past five years, we have paid our named executive officers an annual incentive bonus of 124.4% of their respective target incentive amounts for achievement against the targets established by the Committee.

The Committee determines all incentive bonuses in accordance with the Annual Performance-Based Bonus Plan (the “Bonus Plan”). The plan provides that the maximum amount payable to any one individual in any one fiscal year is $10 million. However, in fiscal 2022, the Committee limited the maximum performance adjustment factor to 200%, ensuring that Mr. Nash’s bonus could not exceed $3,790,080.

LONG-TERM EQUITY AWARDS

We grant long-term equity awards to tie our executives’ long-term compensation directly to CarMax’s stock price and to drive the achievement of our strategic goals. We also believe that long-term equity awards are an important retention tool.

In fiscal 2022, we granted our named executive officers two forms of long-term equity awards: stock options and performance stock units (“PSUs”). Options accounted for 75% and PSUs accounted for 25% of the fair value awarded. All of our long-term equity grants were made pursuant to the CarMax, Inc. 2002 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (“Stock Incentive Plan”).

Fiscal 2022 Program Change

In fiscal 2021 and in light of the continued uncertainty related to the COVID-19 pandemic, we granted our named executive officers restricted stock units (which we refer to as “MSUs”) instead of PSUs. For fiscal 2022, the Committee returned to issuing PSUs.

Stock Options

Each option represents the right to purchase one share of our common stock at the exercise, or “strike,” price. The strike price is equal to the closing price of our common stock on the grant date. Our option awards generally vest in 25% increments over four years; that is, one quarter of the options granted vests on the first anniversary of the grant, another quarter vests on the second anniversary, and so forth. The awards expire on the seventh anniversary of the grant date.

37

We believe that granting stock options supports our pay-for-performance philosophy by aligning management and shareholder interests. If our stock price does not rise, the options have no value. In addition to promoting alignment of management and shareholder interests, the four-year vesting schedule and seven-year exercise term of our options ensures that our executives are appropriately focused on CarMax’s long-term strategic goals. This vesting schedule also serves as a retention tool.

Performance Stock Units

PSUs are designed to link compensation to the Company’s performance over a three-year period. The PSUs granted in fiscal 2022 had a three-year term (meaning that they will not vest until the third anniversary of the awards), with the Committee establishing a one-year performance goal at the beginning of each year. Each one-year goal applies to one-third of the total PSUs awarded. Depending on the Company’s achievement of the performance goals, PSUs represent the right to receive between 0% and 200% of a targeted number of shares of our common stock. If the threshold goal is met, each PSU is multiplied by 25%. The target multiplier is 100% and the maximum multiplier is 200%. The multiplier is determined using straight-line interpolation for performance that falls between the threshold and the target or between the target and the maximum. If the threshold performance goal is not achieved, none of the shares subject to that one-year goal will be paid. The number of shares ultimately delivered to each PSU holder will be determined based upon actual performance against the three one-year goals.

The Committee considered PSUs to be a key component of our pay-for-performance philosophy in fiscal 2022 because the PSUs directly tie equity payments to a measure of CarMax’s pre-tax earnings per share growth that the Committee believes to be an appropriate reflection of the Company’s performance. In addition, similar to our stock options, a PSU’s multi-year vesting schedule operates as a retention tool and ensures that our executives are appropriately focused on CarMax’s long-term strategic and financial goals.

The Committee awarded PSUs in each of fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2022; as noted above, the Committee awarded MSUs in the place of PSUs for fiscal 2021.

In year one of the fiscal 2022 PSUs, the Committee set a one-year pre-tax earnings per share goal that applies to one-third of the granted PSUs. Each of these PSUs will be multiplied by a percentage that represents the Company’s success in meeting the pre-determined pre-tax earnings per share goal.

In year two and three of the three-year PSU term, the Committee will set additional annual goals, each of which apply to one-third of the PSUs awarded. Performance against these goals will be determined in the same manner as in year one of the PSU. Despite the annual performance goals, no shares are paid out until the PSUs vest, which generally occurs on the three-year anniversary of the grant date.

Award Determinations

In determining the value of long-term equity awards to grant, the Committee considered the named executive officer’s role at CarMax; benchmarking data; our recent financial performance; the performance of our common stock; the fair market value, expense and dilutive effect of any potential award; succession planning; and the importance of retaining the officer’s services. The Committee solicits the advice of Semler Brossy and, except with respect to the awards to the CEO, the opinion of the Company’s CEO. The CEO generally gives the Committee an initial recommendation for long-term equity awards for the other named executive officers. The Committee reviews this recommendation and makes its own independent determination.

Fiscal 2022 Long-Term Equity Awards

In fiscal 2022, as noted below, the Committee approved stock option and PSU awards to our named executive officers as part of our annual long-term equity award process. In fiscal 2021, the Committee approved stock option and MSU awards.

(a)We grant limited stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) in tandem with each option. The SARs may be exercised only in the event of a change-in-control of the Company. Upon the exercise of the SAR and the surrender of the related option, the officer is entitled to receive an amount equal to the difference between the value of our common stock on the date of exercise and the exercise price of the underlying stock option. No free-standing SARs have been granted. 

(b)Option and MSU amounts represent the fair value at grant calculated using valuation models performed as of the date of grant by an independent third party. PSU amounts were calculated using the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant.

(c)Mr. Mayor-Mora’s fiscal 2021 awards include both his annual equity award, made in May 2020, and an award made in recognition of taking on additional responsibilities in December 2020.

The amounts listed in the table above for fiscal year 2022 PSUs will not match the amounts in the Stock Award column in the Summary Compensation Table or the Grants of Plan-Based Awards table. In those tables, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718 (“ASC Topic 718”), the grant date of a PSU occurs when the objectively determinable performance goals are set. Targets under our fiscal year 2022 PSU awards are established annually and, as a result, the Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards table only include the third of the fiscal year 2022 PSUs for which a performance goal has been set. See note (a) to the Summary Compensation Table on pages 47 and 48 for more detail.

For fiscal 2022, the Committee increased the value of Mr. Nash’s long-term equity award by 14%. This decision was made in recognition of the Company’s and his individual performance in fiscal 2021 and to bring Mr. Nash’s long-term equity compensation above the median of the CEO blended peer group/survey data described above under the heading “Benchmarking,” thereby providing Mr. Nash with an opportunity to achieve above-median compensatory amounts directly tied to Company performance.

The Committee increased the value of Mr. Mohammad and Ms. Cafritz’s long-term equity compensation as noted above. Mr. Mohammad was recently promoted and Ms. Cafritz took on additional responsibilities, and their increases were made in recognition of these new roles. Additionally, Mr. Lyski’s long-term equity compensation was also increased this year in recognition of his performance in fiscal 2022 and the continued increase in his scope of responsibilities. The long-term incentive compensation for each of Mr. Mayor-Mora, Mr. Hill and Mr. Margolin remained generally unchanged from the prior year.

Performance Stock Unit Goal Achievements

Fiscal 2020 PSU Years 2 and 3 Performance Goal Achievement; Fiscal 2022 PSU Year 1 Performance Goal Achievement

For year two of the fiscal 2020 PSU awards (the “year two PSUs”), the Committee set PSU performance goals that included qualitative metrics similar to those used for the fiscal 2021 annual incentive bonus. Consistent with the determination made for the fiscal 2021 annual incentive bonus, and as further described in our 2021 proxy statement, the Committee certified a 100% performance multiplier for the year two PSUs (which were granted to our named executive officers for fiscal 2020). Due to the qualitative nature of the year two PSU goals, the year two PSUs were not considered to be granted under ASC Topic 718 until this fiscal year. Equity awards are reported in the Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table for the fiscal year in which the awards are granted, as determined by the grant date established under ASC Topic 718. Therefore, the year two PSUs are included in the Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards table in this proxy statement.

39

In April 2022, the Committee certified a 200% performance multiplier for year 3 of the PSUs granted to our named executive officers for fiscal 2020 and for year 1 of the PSUs granted to our named executive officers in fiscal 2022. The Committee’s determination was based on CarMax’s achievement of pre-tax earnings per share of $9.02 for the one-year performance period ended February 28, 2022, as further described in the table below.

As the full three-year term of the fiscal 2020 PSUs awards has now ended, each recipient will receive 139% of the PSUs initially awarded. Accordingly, Mr. Nash, Mr. Lyski, Mr. Mohammad, Ms. Cafritz, Mr. Hill and Mr. Margolin will receive 30,944; 6,395; 5,277; 4,420; 9,466; and 7,698 shares of common stock, respectively. Mr. Mayor-Mora was not awarded PSUs in fiscal 2020.Similarly, on the completion of the full three-year term of the fiscal 2022 PSU awards, the 200% performance multiplier will apply to one-third of the number of PSUs held by each NEO. As a result, on payment, Mr. Nash, Mr. Mayor-Mora, Mr. Lyski, Mr. Mohammad, Ms. Cafritz, Mr. Hill and Mr. Margolin will be entitled to receive 9,736; 1,582; 2,118; 1,760; 1,582; 2,606; and 2,118 shares of common stock, respectively, attributable to the year 1 performance goal achievement of the fiscal year 2022 PSU.

The following table shows the performance metrics for year 3 of the fiscal 2020 PSU awards and year 1 of the fiscal 2022 PSU awards.

	Threshold			Target			Maximum			Actual
FY22 Pre-Tax Earnings Per Share (a)	$	7.05		$	7.41		$	8.12		$	9.02
Performance Multiplier	25		%	100		%	200		%	200		%

(a)    FY22 pre-tax earnings per share is equal to diluted earnings per share less the per share amounts attributable to the provision for income tax expense. Note that the Committee determined to exclude from pre-tax earnings per share the impact of any unrealized gains or losses on equity investments in private companies (or companies in which CarMax initially invested while that company was private but had subsequently gone public); however, the Committee determined to include in pre-tax earnings per share the realized gains and losses in those investments to the extent that such gains or losses were realized in fiscal 2022. For fiscal 2022, the actual pre-tax earnings per share of $9.02 represents $6.97 in diluted earnings per share (i) increased by $2.06 per share attributable to income tax and (ii) reduced by $0.01 per share attributable to unrealized gains on equity investments.

COMPENSATION MIX

As our executives assume more responsibility, we generally increase the percentage of their compensation that is performance-based. We do not have a pre-established policy or target for allocation between specific compensation components. The following charts, however, show that the majority of target annual total direct compensation for both our CEO and our other named executive officers as a group is determined by our performance. The following charts and tables reflect the target total direct compensation (i.e., base salary, target annual incentive bonus and long-term equity grants) set by the Committee. Mr. Hill and Mr. Margolin retired in fiscal 2022 and are not included in these charts.

40

The table below illustrates how the target total direct compensation set by the Committee for each of our named executive officers, except for Mr. Hill and Mr. Margolin, was allocated between performance-based and fixed compensation for fiscal 2022, as well as the breakdown of performance-based compensation that was based on annual and long-term Company performance.

	Percentage of Target Total Direct Compensation		Percentage of Target Performance-Based Compensation
	Performance- Based	Fixed	Annual	Long- Term
William D. Nash	89%	11%	19%	81%
Enrique N. Mayor-Mora	73%	27%	28%	72%
James Lyski	78%	22%	23%	77%
Shamim Mohammad	77%	23%	25%	75%
Diane L. Cafritz	77%	23%	21%	79%

ADDITIONAL ELEMENTS OF COMPENSATION

We provide our executive officers the benefits available to CarMax associates generally. We also provide the limited perquisites described below. These benefits and perquisites are intended to be part of a competitive compensation package.

Benefits Available to CarMax Associates Generally

Our executives and our full-time associates generally are eligible for health insurance coverage, life insurance, short- and long-term disability insurance, matching gifts to qualified charitable organizations, and a defined contribution, or 401(k), plan that we refer to as our Retirement Savings Plan.

In addition, executives and CarMax associates who satisfied certain criteria as of December 31, 2008, may be eligible for benefits under our frozen Pension Plan. Additional details regarding these frozen benefits can be found in the “Pension Benefits in Fiscal 2022” table beginning on page 55.

41

Non-Qualified Retirement Plans

Our executives and other highly-compensated associates are eligible to participate in two non-qualified retirement plans: the Retirement Restoration Plan (“RRP”) and the Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (“EDCP”). A description of these plans can be found in the narrative discussion following the “Nonqualified Deferred Compensation” table on pages 57 and 58. Details regarding the fiscal 2022 contributions to each named executive officer’s RRP and EDCP accounts, as well as the earnings and aggregate balances for those accounts, can be found in the “Nonqualified Deferred Compensation” table on page 57.

In addition to the RRP and the EDCP, executives and other highly compensated CarMax associates who satisfied certain criteria as of December 31, 2008, may be eligible for benefits under our frozen Benefit Restoration Plan. Additional details regarding these frozen benefits can be found in the “Pension Benefits in Fiscal 2022” table on pages 55 and 56.

Company Transportation

We provide the use of a CarMax-owned vehicle to each of our named executive officers and to certain other eligible associates. For all associates using CarMax-owned vehicles, we bear certain maintenance and insurance costs. We treat the personal use of a Company-owned vehicle as income to the associate. The associate pays the related income taxes.

We encourage our executive officers to use our plane for business travel. Our plane is also available for personal use by Mr. Nash (and Mr. Hill had this benefit available to him prior to his retirement). Mr. Nash is required to reimburse CarMax for the incremental costs associated with his personal use to the extent that those costs exceed $175,000 in any fiscal year. Mr. Nash bears all income taxes associated with his personal use of the plane.

We do not provide tax gross-ups on any of these transportation benefits.

Tax and Financial Planning Services

We provide a tax and financial planning benefit to our named executive officers. This benefit was valued at $14,675 for fiscal 2022. Officers who forego this benefit may engage their own tax professional at the Company’s expense in an amount up to $10,000 per year. The Committee approved this benefit to reduce the amount of time and attention that our executive officers must spend on personal tax and financial planning, which permits them to focus on their responsibilities to CarMax, and to maximize the financial reward of the compensation that CarMax provides. Officers bear all income taxes associated with these tax and financial planning benefits. We do not provide tax gross-ups on these benefits.

Additional Information

SEVERANCE AGREEMENTS

We have severance agreements with each of our named executive officers. The Committee has determined that these agreements are beneficial to us because they contain restrictive covenants relating to confidential information, non-competition and non-solicitation of our associates. The Committee also believes that these agreements serve as a recruiting tool and better enable our current executives to focus on CarMax’s strategic and operating goals.

Our severance agreements do not provide for a guaranteed term of employment or tax gross-ups. The agreements provide for severance payments under certain circumstances, which are discussed in more detail under “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control” beginning on page 58. In 2014, the Committee reduced the scope of the potential payments and benefits for any newly named executive officers. Accordingly, the potential payments and benefits provided to Mr. Mayor-Mora, Mr. Lyski, Mr. Mohammad and Ms. Cafritz, who became executive officers after this change, differ from those that would potentially be provided to Mr. Nash. Given the retirements of Mr. Hill and Mr. Margolin in fiscal 2022, their potential payments under their respective severance agreements are no longer effective.

None of the severance agreements provide a guaranteed term of employment, nor do they provide tax gross-ups on any compensation or perquisite.

42

Under their respective severance agreements, each of Mr. Margolin and Mr. Hill, both of whom retired in fiscal 2022, were eligible to receive their pro rata actual bonus based upon their pro rata days employed in fiscal 2022 at the time such bonuses were paid to the other named executive officers, in the amounts of $531,623 and $1,058,132, respectively. Because each of Mr. Margolin and Mr. Hill were retirement eligible when they retired, their unvested equity vested in connection with the retirement. Additional information regarding their equity compensation can be found in the “Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal 2022 Year End” table beginning on page 52.

Clawback and Forfeiture Provisions

The severance agreements contain a clawback provision. If any named executive officer engages in conduct for which he or she could be terminated for cause, with certain limitations, and the conduct directly results in the filing of a restatement of any financial statement that was previously filed with the SEC, the named executive officer shall, upon demand by the Company, repay with interest all compensation that was expressly conditioned on the achievement of certain financial results if the restated financial statements would have resulted in a lesser amount being paid.

In addition, at our 2012 annual shareholders meeting, we asked our shareholders to approve amendments to add clawback provisions to both our Bonus Plan and Stock Incentive Plan. Our shareholders approved these provisions, which provide that any award that is subject to recovery under any law, including the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, will be subject to a clawback as required by such law or any CarMax policy adopted pursuant to such law.

In addition to the clawback provisions discussed above, our equity award agreements contain a forfeiture provision. If a named executive officer is terminated for cause, the officer’s unexercised vested and unvested options, unvested MSUs and unvested PSUs will be forfeited.

Change-in-Control and Severance Benefits

Each severance agreement provides for payments and other benefits in certain circumstances involving a termination of employment, including a termination of employment in connection with a change-in-control. Payments in connection with a change-in-control are subject to a double trigger; that is, the executive is not entitled to payment unless there is both a change-in-control and the executive is subsequently terminated without cause (or resigns for good reason) within a two-year period following the change-in-control. Our executives are not entitled to any severance payments as a result of voluntary termination (outside of the retirement context) or if they are terminated for cause. Detailed information with respect to these payments and benefits can be found under the heading “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control” beginning on page 58.

The Committee believes that these severance benefits encourage the commitment of our named executive officers and ensure that they will be able to devote their full attention and energy to our affairs in the face of potentially disruptive and distracting circumstances. In the event of a potential change-in-control, our named executive officers will be able to analyze and evaluate proposals objectively with a view to the best interests of CarMax and its shareholders and to act as the Board may direct without fear of retribution if a change-in-control occurs. The Committee recognizes that the severance benefits may have the effect of discouraging takeovers and protecting our officers from removal because the severance benefits increase the cost that would be incurred by an acquiring company seeking to replace current management. The Committee believes that the benefit to CarMax and its shareholders outweighs this concern.

RISK AND COMPENSATION POLICIES AND PRACTICES

The Committee assesses CarMax’s compensation policies and practices each year to ensure that they do not create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. In fiscal 2022, management reviewed the compensation policies and practices for all CarMax associates (including store associates, store management, regional leadership teams, customer experience consultants, home office and CarMax Auto Finance associates, and executive officers). Management then presented a summary of its review at the Committee’s January 2022 meeting. The summary listed each compensation policy or practice applicable to the various groups of CarMax associates, including base salaries, annual incentive bonuses, long-term equity awards, sales bonuses, sales commissions and hourly pay. The summary also listed the potential risks associated with those policies or practices and the tools we employ to mitigate those risks, including the following:

▪Annual Incentive Bonuses: payments made to senior management are: (i) subject to a clawback provision; (ii) capped at 200% of the target incentive bonus amount or at the $10 million plan maximum, whichever is lower; and (iii) only paid

43

when CarMax satisfies the objective metrics determined annually at the beginning of the year by an independent committee of non-employee directors.

▪Long-Term Equity Awards: equity awards: (i) are approved by an independent committee of non-employee directors; (ii) contain three and four-year vesting provisions; and (iii) for senior management, must be held in compliance with CarMax’s executive stock ownership guidelines.

▪Sales Bonuses: sales bonuses are monitored to ensure that associates are not overpaid based on inflated sales figures. Monitoring tools include: (i) centralized assignment of sales targets; (ii) centralized and non-negotiable vehicle pricing; (iii) electronic reporting of sales; and (iv) performance of a daily vehicle inventory.

▪Hourly Pay: hourly pay is tracked and managed through a centralized time management and reporting system.

Following discussion and a review of the summary noted above, the Committee determined that none of our compensation policies and practices create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

STOCK OWNERSHIP GUIDELINES

To further align the long-term financial interests of our executives and our shareholders, the Committee has established the following stock ownership guidelines:

Subject Officers	Required to Own the Lesser of:
Chief Executive Officer	6 x Base Salary or 300,000 shares
Executive Vice President	3 x Base Salary or 100,000 shares
Senior Vice President	2 x Base Salary or 50,000 shares

Executives have five years from the date they first become subject to a particular level of stock ownership to meet the corresponding requirement. The Committee measures compliance on an annual basis at the end of each fiscal year. Acceptable forms of ownership include shares owned outright (by the executive or an immediate family member), vested stock options, PSUs and MSUs. Our stock ownership guidelines are available under the “Governance” link at investors.carmax.com.

As of February 28, 2022, all of our current named executive officers satisfied the ownership guidelines set forth above.

PROHIBITION ON HEDGING AND PLEDGING

We have policies prohibiting all CarMax associates from holding CarMax stock in a margin account, pledging CarMax stock as collateral for a loan, or purchasing any financial instruments that are designed to hedge or offset any change in the market value of CarMax stock. These prohibitions apply to our named executive officers, all employees, and our non-employee directors.

TAX AND ACCOUNTING CONSIDERATIONS

Historically, Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code generally disallowed a tax deduction for compensation over $1 million paid in any fiscal year to the CEO or any of the three other highest paid executive officers (other than the CFO) unless that compensation was performance-based. As a result of the passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “2017 Tax Act”), which went into effect on December 22, 2017, Section 162(m) was amended to cover chief financial officers and the exception for performance-based compensation was no longer available for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017, including our fiscal 2022, unless such compensation qualified for certain transition relief.

The Committee and the Company have taken appropriate actions, to the extent feasible, in an effort to preserve the deductibility of awards previously granted to our executive officers that were designed and intended to be covered by Section 162(m). Despite these actions, certain compensation originally designed to qualify as performance-based under Section 162(m) may not be deductible.

Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code imposes certain requirements on non-qualified deferred compensation, which can include long-term equity awards and severance. CarMax’s executive compensation programs generally are designed to comply with, or be exempt from, the requirements of Section 409A so as to avoid potential adverse tax consequences that may result from non-compliance.

44

In developing CarMax’s executive compensation programs, the Committee also considers the accounting treatment of, and the expenses associated with, the Company’s long-term equity compensation practices.

MARGOLIN AND HILL CONSULTING AGREEMENTS

In connection with the retirements of Mr. Margolin and Mr. Hill, the Company and each of Mr. Margolin and Mr. Hill entered into a consulting agreement (each a “Consulting Agreement”), under which each of the retirees will provide consulting services to the Company. Among other things, each Consulting Agreement extends the term of the non-solicitation and non-competition covenants in each retiree’s respective Severance Agreement with the Company by an additional six months, now expiring two and a half years from the effective date of each retiree’s retirement date. In consideration for the consulting services, the Company agreed to pay Mr. Hill $10,000 and Mr. Margolin $10,000 per month.The term of the consulting arrangement for Mr. Margolin commenced on September 1, 2021 and ended on February 28, 2022, and the term of the consulting arrangement for Mr. Hill commenced on January 3, 2022 and will end on June 30, 2022, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the terms of the Consulting Agreement.

(a)Represents the aggregate grant date fair value of the awards made in each fiscal year as computed in accordance with ASC Topic 718. These amounts do not correspond to the actual value that may be realized by each NEO. Under ASC Topic 718 the grant date for a PSU occurs when objectively determinable performance goals are approved. As further described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section, we approved performance goals for the second and third one-thirds of the PSUs issued in fiscal 2020 and the first one-third of the PSUs issued in fiscal 2022, such that the amounts disclosed under the Stock Awards column above only include amounts attributable to those portions of those awards (the “included PSUs”). PSU values in the Stock Awards column are based on performance achieved at target levels for the included PSUs, which was the probable outcome of performance conditions as of the grant date for the included PSUs. The grant date fair value of each NEO’s included PSUs if earned at maximum levels was $5,289,620; $216,639; $1,107,597; $915,693; $781,759;

47

$1,567,075; and $1,274,201 for Nash, Mayor-Mora, Lyski, Mohammad, Cafritz, Hill and Margolin, respectively. Additional information regarding outstanding awards, including exercise prices, vesting schedules, and expiration dates, can be found in the “Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal 2022 Year End” table on pages 52 to 54. The assumptions used in determining the grant date fair values of the awards are disclosed in Note 14 to our consolidated financial statements, which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2022.

(b)Represents the annual incentive bonus earned under our Bonus Plan.

(c)Represents the aggregate increase in the actuarial value of accumulated benefits under our frozen Pension Plan and frozen Benefit Restoration Plan accrued during the relevant fiscal year.  In fiscal 2022, the actuarial value of these benefits for each of Nash, Cafritz and Hill decreased by the following amounts, respectively: $36,505; $11,279; and $29,763. The “Pension Benefits in Fiscal 2022” table and its accompanying narrative on pages 55 and 56 contain additional details with respect to these amounts.

(d)Further details are included in the “All Other Compensation in Fiscal 2022” table below.

(a)The compensation associated with the personal use of the Company plane is based on the aggregate incremental cost to CarMax of operating the plane. The cost is calculated based on the average variable costs of operating the plane, which include fuel, maintenance, travel expenses for the flight crews and other miscellaneous expenses. We divided the total annual variable costs by the total number of miles our plane flew in fiscal 2022 to determine an average variable cost per mile. The average variable cost per mile is multiplied by the miles flown for personal use to derive the incremental cost. This methodology excludes fixed costs that do not change based on usage, such as salaries and benefits for the flight crews, monthly service contracts, hangar rental fees, taxes, rent, depreciation and insurance. The costs associated with deadhead flights (i.e., flights that travel to a destination with no passengers as a result of an executive’s personal use) and incremental plane charters (i.e., plane charters, if any, that we pay for because our plane was not available for business use due to an executive’s personal use) are included in the incremental cost calculations for each executive. The personal use of the Company plane is treated as income to the executive. The related income taxes are calculated using Standard Industry Fare Level rates and are paid by the executive.

(b)The value of the personal use of a Company automobile is determined based on the annual lease value method and excludes any expenses such as maintenance and insurance.

(c)Includes the Company matching portion of each executive’s Retirement Savings Plan (“RSP”) contributions. Also includes a Company-funded contribution to those executives who met certain age and service requirements as of December 31, 2008, the date that our Pension Plan was frozen. These RSP benefits are offered on the same terms to all CarMax associates.

(d)Includes the Company matching portion of each executive’s Retirement Restoration Plan (“RRP”) and Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (“EDCP”) contributions. Also includes a Company-funded contribution to those executives who met certain age and service requirements as of December 31, 2008, the date that our Pension Plan was frozen. These RRP benefits are offered on the same terms to all CarMax associates whose salary exceeds the compensation limits imposed by Section 401(a)(17) of the Internal Revenue Code ($305,000 in 2022). Also includes a restorative contribution designed to compensate executives for any loss of Company contributions under the RSP and RRP due to a reduction in the executive’s eligible compensation under the RSP and RRP resulting from deferrals into the EDCP.

(e)Represents the total amount of other personal benefits provided. None of the benefits individually exceeded the greater of $25,000 or 10% of the total amount of these personal benefits for the named executive officer except for the aggregate consulting income of $60,000 paid to Mr. Margolin pursuant to a consulting agreement, which is described on page 45. These other benefits include tax and financial planning services, which are described on page 42, matching charitable gifts made by The CarMax Foundation as part of its matching gifts program (which is available to all CarMax associates), and consulting income paid to Mr. Hill pursuant to a consulting agreement, which is described on page 45. In addition, in recognition of the contributions of Mr. Margolin and Mr. Hill, we made two separate $20,000 charitable gifts to non-profit organizations of their choice. Mr. Hill and Mr. Margolin were not aware of these gifts prior to announcing their retirement, did not have any involvement in determining the gifts’ amounts, and will not receive any pecuniary benefit from them; therefore, we do not consider them to be reportable compensation.

(a)Represents threshold, target and maximum payout levels under our Bonus Plan for fiscal 2022 performance. The actual amount of each named executive officer’s annual incentive bonus in fiscal 2022 is reported under the “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” column in the “Summary Compensation Table” on page 47. Additional information regarding the design of our Bonus Plan is included on pages 34 to 37. Each of Mr. Hill’s and Mr. Margolin’s threshold, target, and maximum payout levels under our Bonus Plan for fiscal 2022 performance are prorated because they retired in fiscal 2022 and were paid a pro rata bonus based upon the number of days employed in fiscal 2022.

(b)For each of our named executive officers, represents a grant of stock-settled performance stock units, which we refer to as “performance stock units” or “PSUs.” PSUs generally vest on the third anniversary of the grant date. Under ASC Topic 718, the grant date for a PSU occurs only when objectively determinable PSU performance

50

goals are approved. Therefore, the reported number of units is calculated for the one-third portion of the PSUs for which performance goals were set in fiscal 2022. As further described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section, we approved performance goals for the second and third one-thirds of the PSUs issued in fiscal 2020 and the first one-third of the PSUs issued in fiscal 2022, such that the amounts disclosed in the table above only include amounts attributable to those portions of those awards (the “included PSUs”). PSU values in the Stock Awards column are based on performance achieved at target levels for the included PSUs. Additional information regarding PSUs, including the formula used to convert PSUs to shares of our common stock upon vesting and settlement, is included on page 38.

(c)Option awards generally vest in 25% increments annually over a four-year period. Additional information regarding stock options is included on pages 37 and 38. We granted limited stock appreciation rights, or “SARs,” in tandem with each option award. The SARs may be exercised only in the event of a change-in-control. To the extent a SAR is exercised, the related option must be surrendered. Upon the exercise of the SAR and the surrender of the related option, the officer is entitled to receive an amount equal to the difference between the value of our common stock on the date of exercise and the exercise price of the underlying stock option, multiplied by the number of shares of common stock underlying such SAR.

(d)All fiscal 2022 stock options were issued with an exercise price equal to the closing price of our common stock on the grant date. Additional information regarding our use of the closing price is included on page 37.

(e)Represents the grant date fair value of the award as determined in accordance with ASC Topic 718, with PSUs valued based on the probable outcome of performance conditions as of the grant date.

(a)Option awards vest in 25% increments annually over a four-year period. Additional information regarding stock options is included on pages 37 and 38. We granted limited stock appreciation rights, or “SARs,” in tandem with each option award. Additional information regarding SARs is included on page 39 and under the chart titled “Grants of Plan-Based Awards in Fiscal 2022” on page 51.

(b)All of the fiscal 2021 stock awards granted to our named executive officers were stock-settled restricted stock units, which we refer to as “market stock units” or “MSUs.” Additionally, Mr. Mayor-Mora’s fiscal 2020 stock awards are MSUs. MSUs vest on the third anniversary of the grant date. The number of shares awarded for each MSU award is calculated by dividing the average closing price of our common stock during the final 40 trading days of the vesting period by the fair value of our stock price on the date of grant. The resulting quotient is capped at two. The quotient is multiplied by the number of MSUs granted to yield the number of shares of stock awarded. To calculate the market value of the unvested MSUs in the table above, we assumed that the average closing price of our stock during the final 40 trading days of the three-year period was equal to the closing price of our stock on February 28, 2022, the last trading day of our fiscal year (which was $109.33).

(c)The fiscal 2020 stock awards and the fiscal 2022 stock awards were stock-settled performance stock units, which we refer to as “performance stock units” or “PSUs.” If earned, PSUs vest on the third anniversary of the grant date, which for the fiscal 2020 PSUs will be May 1, 2022 and for the fiscal 2022 PSUs will be May 3, 2024. To calculate the number of shares awarded at vesting, each PSU is multiplied by a percentage that represents the Company’s success in meeting the performance goals set by the Committee. If the threshold performance goal is met, each PSU is multiplied by 25%. The target multiplier is 100% and the maximum multiplier is 200%. The multiplier is determined by the Committee in reference to achievement of the objectively determined performance goals. If the threshold performance goal is not achieved, no shares will be paid. To calculate the market value of the unvested fiscal 2020 PSUs in the table above, based on performance to target at February 28, 2022, the Company had certified a 117% multiplier for year one of its term and a 100% multiplier for year two of its term. At that time, performance

53

exceeded target for the performance goal set for year three of its term and we applied a multiplier of 200% for the one-third covered by the year three performance goal. For the fiscal 2022 PSUs, performance exceeded target for the performance goal set for year one of its term. At that time, no performance goal had been set for years two or three. So we applied a multiplier of 200% for the one-third covered by the year one performance goal and a 100% multiplier for the remaining two-thirds of the awards. For both the fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2022 PSU awards, the value of each resulting share was equal to the closing price of our stock on February 28, 2022, the last trading day of our fiscal year (which was $109.33).

(b)Determined assuming retirement at age 65. The discount rate (3.45%) and mortality assumptions used in calculating the present value of the accumulated benefit shown above were consistent with those used for our financial reporting purposes. Additional information regarding our assumptions including the pension plan measurement date is set forth in Note 12 to our consolidated financial statements, which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2022.

PENSION PLAN

We froze our Pension Plan, a tax-qualified defined benefit plan, effective December 31, 2008. Prior to that date, this plan was generally available to all full-time associates upon completion of one year of service.

No additional benefits have accrued under the Pension Plan since it was frozen. Previously accrued benefits are determined under a formula that defines an annual annuity amount payable at termination or retirement. The benefit formula is the sum of (1) 0.85% times highest average earnings times years of service up to 35 years and (2) 0.65% times the excess of highest average earnings over Social Security covered compensation times years of service up to 35 years. Earnings are defined as total earnings including base pay, bonuses, overtime pay and commissions, but may not exceed the compensation limit imposed by the Internal Revenue Code. In the final year of benefit accruals, that compensation limit was $230,000. Highest average earnings are based on the highest five consecutive calendar years of earnings during the ten consecutive years before termination or December 31, 2008, if earlier. All participants were vested after five years of service. Benefits are payable at age 65 as a lifetime annuity or actuarially equivalent optional annuity. Actuarially reduced benefits are available to participants retiring after age 55 with at least ten years of service, or after age 62 with at least seven years of service.

BENEFIT RESTORATION PLAN

We froze our Benefit Restoration Plan, a non-qualified defined benefit plan, effective December 31, 2008. Prior to that date, this plan provided an alternate means of paying benefits to participants in the Pension Plan, including our named executive officers, who were prohibited from receiving additional benefits under the Pension Plan because of the Internal Revenue Code’s compensation limit.

No additional benefits have accrued under the Benefit Restoration Plan since it was frozen. Previously accrued benefits are generally determined and payable under the same terms and conditions as the Pension Plan without regard to Internal Revenue Code limitations on amounts of includable earnings and maximum benefits. Benefits paid are reduced by benefits payable under the Pension Plan. Participants must have 15 years of service to be eligible to receive benefits under the Benefit Restoration Plan, or upon termination meet the early retirement or normal retirement requirements of our Pension Plan.

RETIREMENT BENEFITS

As of February 28, 2022, none of our currently employed named executive officers were eligible to retire with full benefits from the Pension Plan and the Benefit Restoration Plan because none of them met the retirement requirements under our Pension Plan.

(a)These amounts represent payroll deductions and are therefore included in the “Salary” and “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” columns of the “Summary Compensation Table” on page 47.

(b)Company contributions are included in the “All Other Compensation” column of the “Summary Compensation Table” on page 47 and were credited to each executive’s account after the close of the fiscal year.

(c)We do not pay above-market interest or preferential dividends on investments in the RRP or the EDCP. Earnings are determined by the performance of the mutual funds or other investment vehicles selected by each executive.

(d)For each of Nash, Mayor-Mora, Lyksi, Hill, and Margolin the following amounts were reported as compensation to each person in the “Summary Compensation Table” for the fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2021 years, respectively: $623,184; $92,205; $379,509; $492,501; and $225,970.

RETIREMENT RESTORATION PLAN

Our executives are eligible to participate in the RRP. The RRP is a nonqualified defined contribution plan that supplements the Retirement Savings Plan we offer to all of our associates. The RRP allows individuals whose benefits under the Retirement Savings Plan are limited due to the compensation limits imposed by Section 401(a)(17) of the Internal Revenue Code ($305,000 for 2022) to continue to defer portions of their compensation for retirement savings. Eligible associates may defer up to 75% of their combined salary and annual incentive bonus. As we do in our broadly available Retirement Savings Plan, we provide RRP participants with a matching contribution and an additional Company-funded contribution to those participants meeting certain age and service requirements. RRP accounts are paid in a single lump sum payment at separation from service, subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.

EXECUTIVE DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

Our executives are also eligible to participate in the EDCP. The EDCP is an additional nonqualified deferred compensation plan that permits eligible associates to elect to defer portions of their compensation to save for retirement or other life events. Eligible associates may defer up to 75% of their salary and up to 90% of their annual incentive bonus. The EDCP provides a

57

mechanism for eligible associates to defer the taxation of income and related investment gains until the compensation is actually received at a later date. While the Company does not directly match funds deferred through this plan,

we do provide a restorative contribution designed to compensate associates for any loss of Company contributions under the Retirement Savings Plan and RRP due to a reduction in eligible compensation, as defined under those plans, resulting from deferrals into the EDCP. EDCP accounts are paid based on the participant’s election at the time of the deferral, subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, and may be paid in a lump sum, a series of annual installments or a partial lump sum followed by a series of annual installments. Participants may elect to receive these distributions upon separation from service or upon the occurrence of one or more specified dates.

All RRP and EDCP accounts are considered unfunded general contractual obligations and are subject to the claims of our general, unsecured creditors.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control

As discussed on pages 42 and 43, we have agreed to provide payments or other benefits to our named executive officers under various scenarios related to a termination of employment. This section describes those payments and benefits and the events that trigger them. For ease of reference, this section uses the abbreviation “CIC” for the term “Change-in-Control.”

Our payment obligations under each severance agreement are contingent upon the NEO satisfying the following obligations:

▪During his employment and for two years following his termination, the NEO must comply with the provisions of a covenant not to compete.

▪During his employment and for two years following his termination, the NEO may not solicit or induce our associates to leave us or hire any of our associates.

▪During his employment and at all times subsequent to the last day of his employment, the NEO must hold in strict confidence and safeguard any and all protected information, including our trade secrets.

▪The NEO must return our property and must execute an agreement releasing us from any claims.

In 2014, the Committee reduced the scope of the potential payments and benefits for any newly named executive officers. Accordingly, the potential payments and benefits provided to each of Mr. Mayor-Mora, Mr. Lyski, Mr. Mohammad and Ms. Cafritz (the “post-2014 group”), who became executive officers after this change, differ from those that would potentially be provided to Mr. Nash. These differences are highlighted in the “Table of Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control” and related footnotes.

TERMINATION SCENARIOS THAT MAY TRIGGER PAYMENTS AND BENEFITS

There are four categories of events related to a termination of employment that may trigger payments or other benefits under the severance agreements we have with our NEOs: (i) retirement; (ii) death or disability; (iii) involuntary termination; and (iv) voluntary termination. The following chart describes each category.

Category	Specific Event	Requirements
Retirement	Early Retirement	Termination due to early retirement occurs when a NEO voluntarily terminates their employment at a time when they are eligible for “early retirement” as this term is defined in our Pension Plan (generally, a NEO is eligible for early retirement after age 55 with at least ten years of service or after age 62 with at least seven years of service). The effective date of termination due to early retirement is the date set forth in a notice from the NEO to us. None of our currently employed NEOs are eligible for early retirement.
	Normal Retirement	Termination due to normal retirement occurs when a NEO voluntarily terminates their employment at a time when they are eligible for “normal retirement” as this term is defined in our Pension Plan (generally, a NEO is eligible for normal retirement after age 65 with at least five years of service). None of our currently employed NEOs are eligible for normal retirement.

58

Death or Disability	Death	The effective date of termination is the date of death.
	Disability	Termination due to disability occurs when we notify the NEO that we have decided to terminate them because they have a physical or mental illness that causes them: (i) to be considered “disabled” for the purpose of eligibility to receive benefits under our long-term disability plan if they are a participant; or (ii) if they do not participate in this plan, to be unable to substantially perform the duties of their position for a total of 180 days during any period of 12 consecutive months and a physician selected by us has furnished to us a certification that the return of the NEO to their normal duties is impossible or improbable. The effective date of termination is the date set forth in a notice from us to the NEO.
Involuntary Termination	For Cause	We will not owe any payments to a NEO as a result of a termination for cause. Termination for cause occurs when we decide to terminate an NEO based on our good faith determination that one of certain events have occurred. These events generally consist of, or relate to, the NEO’s material breach of his severance agreement, the NEO’s willful failure to perform his duties or the NEO’s conviction of a felony or a crime involving dishonesty or moral turpitude. The effective date of termination is the date of the termination.
	Without Cause	Termination by us without cause occurs when we terminate the NEO’s employment for any reason other than for cause or disability. The effective date of termination is the date of the notice from us to the NEO.
Voluntary Termination	For Good Reason	Termination by the NEO for good reason occurs when the NEO terminates their employment for one of the following events, which we do not cure: (i) a reduction in the NEO’s base salary (which was not part of an across-the-board reduction) or target bonus rate; (ii) a material reduction in the NEO’s duties or authority; (iii) a required relocation to a new principal place of employment more than 35 miles from our home office, excluding a relocation of our home office; or (iv) our failure to obtain an agreement from any successor to substantially all of our assets or our business to assume and agree to perform the severance agreement within 15 days after a merger, consolidation, sale or similar transaction. The effective date of termination is the date set forth in a notice from the NEO to us.
	Without Good Reason	Termination by the NEO without good reason occurs when the NEO terminates their employment for any reason other than good reason, as described above. The effective date of termination is the date set forth in a notice from the NEO to us, which notice must be given to us at least 45 days prior to the effective date of termination. We will not owe any payments to a NEO as a result of a termination without good reason.

The benefits paid in connection with each of these categories may change if the termination event occurs during the two years following a CIC or an asset sale. Each agreement defines a CIC as the acquisition by a third party of beneficial ownership of 20% or more of the voting power of our securities or, in connection with a tender or exchange offer, merger or other business transaction, the directors serving immediately prior to the transaction no longer constitute a majority of our Board following the transaction. Each agreement defines an asset sale as a sale of all or substantially all of CarMax’s assets in a single transaction or a series of related transactions.

59

TABLE OF POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OR CHANGE-IN-CONTROL

The following table shows the estimated payments and benefits that we would provide to each NEO under various scenarios related to a termination of employment or a CIC. The table assumes that each termination event occurred on February 28, 2022. Accordingly, we made certain calculations using a common stock value of $109.33 per share, which was the closing market price on February 28, 2022, the last trading day of our fiscal year. The footnotes to the table explain how these amounts are calculated and how they are paid (that is, in a lump sum or over an extended period). The payments described below would be made by CarMax. Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code imposes a six-month delay on payments related to a termination of employment in certain circumstances. Accordingly, the payment (or first payment) of any amount listed below may be delayed by six months.

The following table does not include amounts payable to each NEO under our Pension Plan, Benefit Restoration Plan, Retirement Restoration Plan or Executive Deferred Compensation Plan, the details of which can be found in the sections titled “Pension Benefits in Fiscal 2022” on pages 55 and 56 and “Nonqualified Deferred Compensation in Fiscal 2022” on pages 57 and 58. None of the termination events discussed below enhances or reduces any payments to be made under these plans.

None of our NEOs are eligible for “normal or early retirement”; accordingly, no figures appear in that column in the table below. Mr. Margolin and Mr. Hill, each of whom retired in fiscal 2022 (prior to the assumed February 28, 2022 termination date used for purposes of the table), are not included in the table below. However, each of their respective retirements did impact their eligibility to receive certain payments. For Mr. Margolin, he is eligible to receive his pro-rata actual annual bonus for fiscal 2022 ($531,623), the vesting of then-unvested long-term equity awards (with the vesting valued at $5,202,676 as of February 28, 2022), and one year of tax and financial planning benefits as described in footnote (g) below ($15,110). For Mr. Hill, he is eligible to receive his pro-rata actual annual bonus for fiscal 2022 ($1,058,132), the vesting of then-unvested long-term equity awards (with the vesting valued at $6,305,109 as of February 28, 2022), and one year of tax and financial planning benefits as described in footnote (g) below ($15,110). In no instance were any severance or supplemental payments made to these retirees.

(a)For Mr. Nash, we calculate his severance payment using the following formula: 2 x (Base Salary + (Last Annual Bonus as determined by the Compensation and Personnel Committee)). This amount is paid in equal monthly installments over the 24-month period following the date of termination. As of February 28, 2022, the last annual bonus as determined by the Compensation and Personnel Committee was the fiscal 2021 bonus, which is set forth in the “Summary Compensation Table” on page 47. For the post-2014 group, the severance payment is equal to each NEO’s then-current bi-weekly salary amount, to be paid for and over the course of 39 bi-weekly periods.

(b)The Annual Incentive Bonus is the bonus paid pursuant to our Bonus Plan. For Mr. Nash, his severance agreement provides for a bonus payment, calculated in one of two ways, in certain termination scenarios. If Mr. Nash is terminated without cause or retires, we pay a pro rata actual bonus, which is the pro rata share of his annual bonus based on actual performance for the fiscal year in which the termination occurs. The pro rata actual bonus is paid to Mr. Nash in a lump sum when annual bonuses are paid to other senior officers for the relevant fiscal year. Because the termination event is assumed to occur on February 28, 2022, our fiscal year end, the pro rata actual bonus is equal to Mr. Nash’s actual bonus for fiscal 2022. In contrast, if Mr. Nash is terminated without cause—or leaves the Company for good reason—following a CIC, or if Mr. Nash dies or becomes disabled, we pay a pro rata target bonus. The pro rata target bonus is the pro rata share of Mr. Nash’s annual bonus at his target bonus rate for the fiscal year in which the date of termination occurs. The pro rata target bonus is paid to Mr. Nash in a lump sum within ten days after the date of termination. Because the termination event is assumed to occur on February 28, 2022, our fiscal year end, the pro rata target bonus is equal to Mr. Nash’s target bonus amount. The severance agreements with the post-2014 group do not provide for a bonus payment in these scenarios.

(c)Following the designated termination events, all or a portion of the equity awards made to the NEO during the course of his employment will vest and become exercisable in accordance with the terms and conditions of our Stock Incentive Plan and the individual award agreement. For additional information regarding each NEO’s outstanding equity awards, see the “Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal 2022 Year End” table on pages 52 to 54. The value of the vested but unexercised portion of each option has not been included in the amounts reported above because their receipt is not accelerated by termination events.

62

(d)Mr. Nash’s severance agreement provides for a Good Reason Payment, which is a one-time payment made to Mr. Nash following his termination for Good Reason. It is equal to the Mr. Nash’s base salary on the date of termination multiplied by a certain percentage, which percentage is generally the same as Mr. Nash’s target bonus percentage. The Good Reason Payment is paid in a lump sum cash payment within ten days after the date of termination. The severance agreements with the post-2014 group do not provide for a Good Reason payment (unless it occurs following a CIC).

(e)For Mr. Nash, the Change-in-Control Payment is equal to 2.99 times his final compensation, which consists of the sum of his base salary at the date of termination and the higher of the annual bonus paid or earned but not yet paid to Mr. Nash for the two most recently completed fiscal years. As of February 28, 2022, the higher annual bonus was the fiscal 2022 bonus. The Change-in-Control Payment will be paid to Mr. Nash in equal monthly installments over the 24-month period following the date of termination, unless the payment is related to an Internal Revenue Code Section 409A CIC event, as that term is defined in his agreement, in which case the Change-in-Control Payment will be paid in a lump sum cash payment on the forty-fifth day after the date of termination. The severance agreement with the post-2014 group only provides for a payment in connection with a CIC if employment is terminated following the CIC for Good Reason (as defined in each severance agreement). The payment would be equal to each NEO’s then-current bi-weekly salary amount, to be paid for and over the course of 39 bi-weekly periods.

(f)If the NEO elects to continue coverage under our health, dental or vision plans following the date of termination pursuant to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”), the NEO will be responsible for remitting to us the appropriate COBRA premium. We will reimburse Mr. Nash for a portion of the COBRA premium equal to the sum of: (i) the amount that we would have otherwise paid for the coverage if he had remained an active associate; and (ii) the COBRA administration fee. This partial COBRA reimbursement will be paid in equal monthly installments for up to an 18-month period. For purposes of the table on pages 61 and 62, we have assumed that Mr. Nash elected to continue his coverage on February 28, 2022, for the full 18-month period. The severance agreements with the post-2014 group do not provide for this benefit.

(g)We provide a tax and financial planning benefit to our NEOs for the one-year period following early or normal retirement, termination without cause (including death, disability or a termination for good reason) and a CIC. The annual cost of this service is $15,110.

(h)Outplacement services are available to Mr. Nash in an amount not to exceed $50,000. The table on pages 61 and 62 assumes that the maximum outplacement benefit is paid to Mr. Nash. The severance agreements with the post-2014 group do not provide for this benefit.

63

CEO Pay Ratio

The following information about the relationship between the compensation of our employees and the compensation of Mr. Nash, our President and Chief Executive Officer, is provided in compliance with the requirements of Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Item 402(u)”). In fiscal 2022, the estimated median of the annual total compensation of our employees, excluding Mr. Nash, was $51,674. Mr. Nash’s total compensation for fiscal 2022, as reported in the Summary Compensation Table on page 47 of this proxy statement, was $13,689,123. The resulting estimated ratio of the annual total compensation of Mr. Nash to the median of the annual total compensation of all employees was 265 to 1.

We took the following steps in identifying the median of the annual total compensation of all our employees. We determined that, as of January 1, 2022, our employee population was equal to 31,117 individuals, all located in the United States. This number includes all the individuals determined to be employees for federal tax purposes, whether full-time, part-time, or temporary, as of that date. We continued to use a January 1 measuring date, which is within the last three months of our fiscal year as required by Item 402(u), because it aligned with calendar year payroll procedures.

We next identified the employee receiving the median amount of compensation in our employee population. While the methodology we used to select the median employee remained the same as last year, we selected a new median employee this year to ensure the pay ratio accurately reflects the median of the annual total compensation of all our employees, including the employees of our recently acquired Edmunds business. To identify the employee, we compared the amount of wages and other compensation received by each employee, other than Mr. Nash, as reflected in our payroll records and reported to the Internal Revenue Service on Form W-2 for the calendar year ended December 31, 2021. This compensation measure was annualized for permanent employees who were employed on the measuring date but who did not work for the full calendar year. The compensation measure was consistently applied to all our employees.

As required by Item 402(u), once we identified our median employee we measured that employee’s annual total compensation for the 2022 fiscal year by adding together the same elements of compensation that are included in Mr. Nash’s total fiscal 2022 compensation reported in the Summary Compensation Table on page 47.

The resulting pay ratio was calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(u) and we believe it constitutes a reasonable estimate. However, as contemplated by Item 402(u), we relied on methods and assumptions that we determined to be appropriate for calculating the pay ratio at CarMax. Other public companies may use methods and assumptions that differ from the ones we chose but are appropriate for their circumstances. It may therefore be difficult, for this and other reasons, to compare our reported pay ratio to pay ratios reported by other companies.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

Our non-employee directors are compensated for their services as described below. Mr. Nash does not receive any compensation for serving as a director.

Director Compensation Program

The following table describes the components of our non-employee director compensation program for fiscal 2022. The Compensation and Personnel Committee (the “Committee”) reviews this program annually and recommends changes to the Board as appropriate. 

Compensation Element	Director Compensation Program(a)
Annual Cash Retainer	$85,000
Annual Equity Retainer	$175,000(b)
Board Chair Fee	$190,000
Lead Independent Director Fee	$50,000
Committee Chair Fee	$30,000 for the Audit Committee $15,000 for the Compensation and Personnel Committee $15,000 for the Nominating and Governance Committee $15,000 for the Technology and Innovation Committee
Audit Committee Fee	$5,000
Board Meeting Fee	None(c)
Committee Meeting Fee	$1,500 per in-person meeting and $750 per telephonic meeting

(a)In addition to the compensation elements disclosed above, we reimburse our directors for travel and other necessary business expenses incurred in the performance of their services to us. Each non-employee director whose term in office began before June 2014 is eligible for coverage under our health, dental and vision plans at the same rates at which coverage is offered to our associates. Non-employee directors may not use our plane for personal travel.

(b)The annual equity retainer consists of restricted stock units vesting on the one-year anniversary of the grant date. Restricted stock units granted to non-employee directors in fiscal 2022 will vest on July 2, 2022, while also permitting the deferral of the receipt of the vested shares until a later date.

(c)We do not pay directors a fee for attending a board meeting unless there are more than eight board meetings during a fiscal year. Under the past fee authorizations, if there were more than eight meetings we would pay, for each additional meeting, directors fees of $1,500 per in-person meeting and $750 per telephonic meeting.

Each year, the Committee, with the assistance of Semler Brossy, its independent compensation consultant, conducts an analysis of non-employee director compensation at CarMax in relation to the compensation paid for director services at our peer group companies and in the marketplace more broadly. As a result of this analysis and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Committee recommended, and the Board approved, that the compensation paid for director services remain unchanged for fiscal 2022.

Our corporate governance guidelines include director stock ownership guidelines. These guidelines require non-employee directors to own CarMax common stock or other forms of equity with a value equivalent to five times the annual cash retainer within five years of joining the Board. Each of our non-employee directors met this guideline as of February 28, 2022.

As of February 28, 2022, 5,734,157 shares have been purchased on the open market and 2,265,843 shares remain available for issuance. Under the ESPP, full- and part-time associates who have been employed for one year or more are eligible to participate. Executive officers may not participate in the ESPP. A participating associate may authorize payroll deductions between 2% and 10% of compensation, up to an annual maximum of $10,000. Each month, the payroll deductions are used to purchase CarMax common stock. Shares are purchased on the open market and the purchase price is the average cost of all shares purchased for a particular month. To encourage participation in the ESPP, we match 15% of the associate’s contribution. An eligible associate may change, cease or restart contributions for any payroll period without penalty. We pay all administrative costs of the ESPP. There are no outstanding options, warrants, or rights under the ESPP.

71

Deadline for Voting (Before the Virtual Meeting)	For both shareholders of record and beneficial owners of shares held in street name (other than ESPP participants), online and telephone voting is available through 11:59 p.m. ET on Monday, June 27, 2022.   For shares held by ESPP participants in an ESPP account, online and telephone voting is available through 11:59 p.m. ET on Thursday, June 23, 2022.
Changing Your Vote	You may revoke your proxy at any time before it is exercised by submitting a subsequent vote using any of the methods described above.
Effect of Not Voting	Shareholders of Record. If you are a shareholder of record and you:  ●     Do not vote via the internet before the virtual meeting, by telephone or by mail, your shares will not be voted unless you attend the annual meeting to vote your shares.  ●     Sign and return a proxy card without giving specific voting instructions, then your shares will be voted in the manner recommended by the Board on all matters presented in this proxy statement and as the proxy holders may determine in their discretion on any other matters properly presented for a vote. Beneficial Owners of Shares Held in Street Name or Participants in the ESPP. If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in street name or a participant in the ESPP and you do not provide the organization that holds your shares with specific voting instructions, under the rules of various national and regional securities exchanges, the organization that holds your shares generally may vote your shares on routine matters but cannot vote your shares on non-routine matters. If the organization that holds your shares does not receive instructions from you on how to vote your shares on a non-routine matter, the organization will not have the authority to vote your shares on this matter. This is generally referred to as a “broker non-vote.”
Voting Standards	Proposals One (election of directors), Two (ratification of KPMG), and Three (advisory vote on executive compensation) must be approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted in determining the number of votes cast on Proposals One, Two, and Three.
Routine and Non-Routine Proposals	Routine Proposals. Proposal Two (ratification of KPMG) is considered a routine matter. A broker or other nominee generally may vote on routine matters, and therefore we expect no broker non-votes in connection with Proposal Two.   Non-routine Proposals. Proposals One (election of directors) and Three (advisory vote on executive compensation) are considered non-routine matters. A broker or other nominee cannot vote without instructions on non-routine matters, and therefore there may be broker non-votes on these proposals.
Counting the Votes	A representative of American Election Services, LLC will tabulate the votes and act as inspector of election at the annual shareholders meeting.

72

Proxy Information
Electronic Access to Proxy Materials and Annual Report	We are providing access to our proxy materials primarily over the internet rather than mailing paper copies of those materials to each shareholder. On or aboutMay 10, 2022, we will mail the Notice to our shareholders. This Notice will provide website and other information for the purpose of accessing proxy materials. The Notice tells you how to: ●     View our proxy materials for the annual shareholders meeting on the internet. ●     Instruct us to send proxy materials to you by mail or email. Choosing to receive proxy materials by email will save us the cost of printing and mailing documents and will reduce the impact of our annual shareholders meeting on the environment. If you choose to receive future proxy materials by email, you will receive an email message next year with instructions containing a link to those materials and a link to the proxy voting website. Your election to receive proxy materials by email will remain in effect unless and until you rescind it.
Proxy Solicitation	CarMax pays the cost of soliciting proxies. We will solicit proxies from our shareholders, and, after the initial solicitation, some of our associates or agents may contact shareholders by telephone, by email or in person. We have retained Georgeson, Inc. to solicit proxies for a fee of $9,000 plus reasonable expenses. We will also reimburse banks, brokerage firms and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for their reasonable expenses in sending proxy materials to the beneficial owners of our common stock.
Website Addresses in the Proxy Statement	Website addresses in this proxy statement are inactive textual references. The information on, or accessible through, these websites is not incorporated by reference into, and is not a part of, this proxy statement.
