Item 8.01.
Other Events.

At its March 24, 2016 meeting, the Compensation and Personnel Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”) of CarMax, Inc. (the “Company”) approved amendments to the Company’s form of notice of restricted stock grant (the “Restricted Stock Agreement”); a new form of notice of cash-settled restricted stock unit grant (the “Cash-Settled RSU Agreement”); an additional form of notice of a stock option grant (the “Stock Option Agreement”); and an additional form of notice of performance stock unit grant (the “PSU Agreement”). Each of the agreements have been approved under the CarMax, Inc. 2002 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (the “Stock Incentive Plan”).

The Restricted Stock Agreement replaces the form of notice of restricted stock grant filed by the Company as Exhibit 10.2 to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q on January 8, 2009. The Restricted Stock Agreement sets the terms and conditions under which the Company may award restricted stock to Company employees, including provisions regarding vesting, forfeiture and restrictions on transfer. The Restricted Stock Agreement terms also include a “double-trigger” f eature under which a change-in-control does not, on its own, trigger accelerated vesting of the restricted stock.

The Cash-Settled RSU Agreement may be used by the Company to award cash-settled restricted stock units to Company employees and sets the terms and conditions of the awards, including provisions regarding vesting, forfeiture and restrictions on value. The restricted stock unit awards entitle the holder to a cash payment at the end of the vesting period equal to the fair market value of a share of our common stock for each unit granted. The Cash-Settled RSU Agreement terms include a “double-trigger” f eature under which a change-in-control does not, on its own, trigger accelerated vesting of the restricted stock units. While the Company has not historically awarded cash-settled restricted stock units to its executive officers, the Committee’s approval of the Cash-Settled RSU Agreement will provide the Committee with the flexibility to do so in the future.

The Stock Option Agreement sets the terms and conditions pursuant to which the Company may award stock options that are vested upon grant, but remain subject to forfeiture upon a termination for cause. The PSU Agreement sets the terms and conditions pursuant to which the Company may award performance stock units that vest upon a separation of service from the Company so long as the separation is not the result of a termination for cause. The PSU Agreement also provides that, notwithstanding the vesting of the performance stock units upon the separation of service, the ultimate payment related to the award remains subject to the satisfaction of the performance goals set forth in the PSU Agreement. The Stock Option Agreement and PSU Agreement are alternative forms of award that do not replace the Company’s existing notice of a stock option grant and notice of performance stock unit grant but provide the Committee with the flexibility to grant awards with the features described above.

Copies of the Restricted Stock Agreement, the Cash-Settled RSU Agreement, the Option Agreement, and the PSU Agreement are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4, respectively, and are incorporated by reference into this Item 8.01.

NOTICE OF RESTRICTED STOCK GRANT



[Date]

                    
                    
                    

Dear ____________________________:

The Board of Directors of CarMax, Inc. (the “Company”) wants to provide you with an opportunity to share in the success of our Company. Accordingly, I am pleased to inform you that, as of [Insert Grant Date] (the “Grant Date”), the Compensation and Personnel Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Committee”) exercised its authority pursuant to the CarMax, Inc. 2002 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (the “Plan”) and granted you shares of the common stock of CarMax, Inc. (the “Restricted Stock”) as set forth herein.

The shares of Restricted Stock are subject to the provisions of the Plan. The Committee administers the Plan. The terms of the Plan are incorporated into this Notice of Restricted Stock Grant (the “Notice of Grant”) and in the case of any conflict between the Plan and this Notice of Grant, the terms of the Plan shall control. All capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning given to them in the Plan. Please refer to the Plan for certain conditions not set forth in this Notice of Grant. Additionally, a copy of a Prospectus for the Plan, which describes material terms of the Plan, can be found on The CarMax Way. Copies of the Prospectus, the Plan and the Company’s annual report to shareholders on Form 10-K for fiscal year 20__ are available from the Company’s corporate secretary at (804) 747-0422.

Number of Shares of Restricted Stock: __________________________


A.
Vesting of Restricted Stock

Except as otherwise provided in this Notice of Grant, the shares of Restricted Stock will vest and become nonforfeitable on [Insert Vesting Date] (the “Vesting Date”) provided you continue to be employed by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries from the Grant Date until the Vesting Date.

B.
Additional Vesting and Forfeiture Provisions

1.
Termination Without Cause or for Good Reason . If (a) the Company terminates your employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries for any reason other than Cause (as defined in Section B.3 ), or (b) you have an effective severance or employment agreement with the Company or one of its Subsidiaries and you terminate your employment for “Good Reason” (as defined in such agreement), if applicable, then:

(i) if your employment terminates on or after the Grant Date but prior to the first anniversary of the Grant Date, all of your shares of Restricted Stock will be immediately forfeited, effective as of the date of your termination;

(ii) if your employment terminates on or after the first anniversary of the Grant Date but prior to the second anniversary of the Grant Date, one-third of your shares of Restricted Stock will become immediately vested and nonforfeitable and your remaining shares of Restricted Stock will be immediately forfeited, effective as of the date of your termination; and





(iii) if your employment terminates on or after the second anniversary of the Grant Date but prior to the Vesting Date, then two-thirds of your shares of Restricted Stock will become immediately vested and nonforfeitable and your remaining shares of Restricted Stock will be immediately forfeited, effective as of the date of your termination.

2.
Death or Disability . If your employment by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries terminates because you die or become Disabled, all of your shares of Restricted Stock will become immediately vested and nonforfeitable, effective as of the date of the termination of your employment.

3.
Termination For Cause . Upon termination of your employment with the Company or one of its Subsidiaries for Cause, and notwithstanding anything in Section B to the contrary, your shares of Restricted Stock will immediately and automatically without any action on the part of you or the Company, be forfeited, effective as of the date of your termination. For purposes of this Notice of Grant, “Cause” shall mean the following: (a) if you have an effective severance or employment agreement with the Company or one of its Subsidiaries with a definition of "Cause," then “Cause” shall have the meaning set forth in your employment or severance agreement; or (b) if you do not have an effective severance or employment agreement with the Company or one of its Subsidiaries with a definition of "Cause," then “Cause” shall mean that the Company or one of its Subsidiaries has any reason to believe any of the following: (i) you have committed fraud, misappropriation of funds or property, embezzlement or other similar acts of dishonesty; (ii) you have been convicted of a felony or other crime involving moral turpitude (or pled nolo contendere thereto); (iii) you have used, possessed or distributed any illegal drug; (iv) you have committed any misconduct that may subject the Company or one of its Subsidiaries to criminal or civil liability; (v) you have breached your duty of loyalty to the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, including, without limitation, the misappropriation of any of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ corporate opportunities; (vi) you have committed a serious violation or violations of any Company policy or procedure; (vii) you refuse to follow the lawful instructions of any Company management; (viii) you have committed any material misrepresentation in the employment application process; (ix) you have committed deliberate actions, including neglect or failure to perform the job, which are contrary to the best interest of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries; or (x) you have continually failed to perform substantially your duties with the Company or one of its Subsidiaries.

4.
Change in Full-Time Employment Status .  In the event that your employment with the Company or one of its Subsidiaries changes from full-time to part-time for any reason, your shares of Restricted Stock will be immediately forfeited, effective as of the date of the change.

5.
Forfeiture . If your employment terminates prior to the Vesting Date for any reason other than those described above, your shares of Restricted Stock shall be completely forfeited on the date of such termination, and you shall have no right or interest in any share of Restricted Stock that is forfeited or in any related dividend after the date of such termination. Employees on authorized leave (as determined under the Company’s or its Subsidiary's authorized leave policy) will not be considered as having terminated employment merely by reason of the leave; provided, however, in the event you are on leave on the Vesting Date, your shares of Restricted Stock shall not vest until you return to full-time employment.

C.
Restrictions on Transferability of Restricted Stock

Prior to the Vesting Date, the shares of Restricted Stock that are not yet vested are not transferable by you by means of sale, assignment, exchange, pledge or otherwise. The shares of Restricted Stock shall be registered on the Company’s books in your name as of the Grant Date. In the event stock certificates are issued, custody of such stock certificates shall be retained by the Company so long as the shares of Restricted Stock are not vested. As soon as practicable after the shares of Restricted Stock vest, the Company will deliver (via certificate or such other method as the Committee determines) such shares to you. Upon receipt




of such stock certificate or applicable notice in book-entry form or otherwise, you will be free to hold or dispose of the shares represented by such certificate or other evidence of ownership subject to (1) the general conditions and procedures provided in the Plan and this Notice of Grant and (2) the applicable restrictions and procedures of federal and state securities laws. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company shall have the right to refuse to issue or transfer any shares of Restricted Stock under this Notice of Grant if the Company acting in its absolute discretion determines that the issuance or transfer of such shares may violate any applicable law or regulation.

This Notice of Grant grants the Company a power of attorney, coupled with an interest, to administer the shares of Restricted Stock in accordance with the terms herein. If requested by the Company, you shall deliver to the Company a separate stock power, endorsed in blank, with respect to the shares of Restricted Stock. By accepting this grant of Restricted Stock, you agree that the Company may use such power of attorney to cancel any shares of Restricted Stock that do not become vested.

D.
Shareholder Rights

During the period when the shares of Restricted Stock are forfeitable, you shall, subject to the restrictions of the Plan and this Notice of Grant, have all rights of a shareholder with respect to the shares of Restricted Stock awarded hereunder, including the right to vote such shares and to receive all dividends, if any, and other distributions paid thereon; provided, however, any dividends declared, or other distributions paid or distributed, on the shares of Restricted Stock shall be treated as subject to the restrictions in this Notice of Grant and shall be forfeited or become nonforfeitable and delivered at the same time as the underlying shares of Restricted Stock with respect to which the dividend or other distribution was declared.

E.
Tax Withholding

On the Vesting Date or, if earlier, the date your employment terminates as described in Section B.1 or B.2 above, you will have taxable income equal to the market value of the shares on that date. You will be required to reimburse the Company for the amount of taxes required by any government to be withheld or otherwise deducted and paid with respect to the vesting of the shares of Restricted Stock (“Tax Withholdings”). You must satisfy this obligation by remitting a cash payment to the Company or by making other arrangements satisfactory to the Company and permitted by the Plan. In order to reimburse the Company for any Tax Withholdings, the Company shall have the right to retain and withhold from any award of Restricted Stock, the number of shares of Restricted Stock, having a market value not less than the amount of such taxes, and cancel in whole or in part any such shares so withheld. The Company shall also have the unrestricted right to withhold, from any other cash amounts due (or to become due) from the Company to you, including from your wages or commissions, an amount equal to any Tax Withholdings.

F.
Change of Capital Structure

If the number of outstanding shares of the Company Stock is increased or decreased as a result of a stock dividend, stock split, subdivision or consolidation of shares, or other similar change in capitalization, the number of shares of Restricted Stock covered by this Notice of Grant will automatically be adjusted, as provided in the Plan and as the Committee shall determine to be equitably required so as to preserve the value of the Restricted Stock that existed immediately before the change; provided, however, that the Company will not be required to issue any fractional shares as a result of such adjustment.

G.      Legal Fees

The grant of shares of Resticted Stock does not obligate the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to continue your employment.  If there is any litigation involving Restricted Stock, each party will bear its own expenses, including all legal fees, except that in the event of an action brought by you under this Notice of Grant following a Change of Control, then insofar as such action is not deemed to be frivolous by the arbitrator or court, the




Company shall bear all expenses related to the arbitration or litigation, including all legal fees incurred by you.  The Committee shall have the authority to interpret and administer this Notice of Grant.

By accepting this grant online, this Notice of Grant, together with the Plan, will become an agreement between you and the Company that is governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia without regard to conflict of law provisions in any jurisdiction. This Notice of Grant supersedes all prior discussions, negotiations, understandings, commitments and agreements with respect to such matters. By accepting this grant online, you agree that you are in compliance with, and will abide by, the Company’s “Policy Against Insider Trading” which can be found on The CarMax Way. You also agree not to sell Company Stock at a time when other applicable laws prohibit a sale. This restriction will apply as long as you are an employee, consultant or director of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries.


Sincerely,
[Name, Title]

C.
Payment for Restricted Stock Units

1.
Payment Schedule . Payment for your Restricted Stock Units shall be made in cash upon the earlier to occur of the two payment dates set forth below (the earlier date shall be the "Payment Date").
        
a)
Specified Date . One hundred percent (100%) of the unpaid Restricted Stock Units (and related dividend equivalent rights), if vested, shall be paid upon the Specified Date.

b)
Separation from Service . One hundred percent (100%) of the unpaid Restricted Stock Units (and related dividend equivalent rights), if vested, shall be paid upon your "Separation from Service" (as defined in Code section 409A) due to the Company involuntarily terminating your employment other than for Cause or due to you terminating your employment for Good Reason, if applicable (collectively, an “Involuntary Separation”).

In the event payment is made pursuant to your Involuntary Separation, such payment shall be made within 60 days following your Involuntary Separation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, distributions may not be made to an individual who is a Key Employee (as defined below) as of his or her Involuntary Separation before the date which is six (6) months after the date of the Key Employee’s Involuntary Separation (the "Key Employee Delay Period"). Any payments that would otherwise be made during this period of delay shall be accumulated and paid in the calendar month following the last day of the Key Employee Delay Period. For purposes of this award, Key Employee means an employee who, as of December 31st of a calendar year, meets the requirements of Code section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) to be treated as a "specified employee" of the Company, i.e., a key employee (as defined in Code section 416(i)(1)(A)(i), (ii) or (iii) applied in accordance with the regulations thereunder and disregarding Code section 416(i)(5)). If you meet the criteria in the preceding sentence, you will be considered a Key Employee for purposes of the Plan and this award for the 12-month period commencing on the next following April 1.
  
2.
Restrictions on Value . The value of each Restricted Stock Unit on the Payment Date shall equal the Fair Market Value of a share of Company Stock, with certain exceptions as noted below. The value on the Payment Date of each Restricted Stock Unit shall not exceed __________, and shall not be less than __________, the Grant Date Fair Market Value of one share of Company Stock. Accordingly, on the Payment Date, the Company’s payment obligations shall not exceed $__________ per Restricted Stock Unit, and shall not be less than $__________ per Restricted Stock Unit.

3.
Expiration upon Payment . Upon each cash payment in accordance with this Notice of Grant, the portion of the Restricted Stock Units attributable to such payment shall be extinguished and such number of Restricted Stock Units will not be considered to be held by you for any purpose.

D.
No Shareholder Rights

The Restricted Stock Units shall not represent an equity security of the Company and shall not carry any voting or dividend rights. However, you will have the right to receive payments equivalent to dividends as set forth below. You are an unsecured general creditor of the Company with respect to any payment relating to vested Restricted Stock Units.

E.
Dividend Equivalent Rights

You shall accumulate dividend equivalent rights on each Restricted Stock Unit in an amount equal to the dividends paid, if any, with respect to a share of Company Stock on each date that a dividend is paid on the Company Stock from the Grant Date to the Payment Date.  The dividend equivalent rights shall be converted into additional Restricted Stock Units based on the Fair Market Value of a share of Company Stock on the date the dividend is paid and shall accumulate and be paid in cash when the payment for the corresponding Restricted Stock Unit is made.  Such additional Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to the same forfeiture restrictions as apply to the Restricted Stock Unit to which they relate.






F.
Tax Withholding

The Company or its Subsidiary may withhold from your Restricted Stock Units or payments under Section   C the amount of taxes required by any federal, state, or local government to be withheld or otherwise deducted and paid with respect to the vesting and payment of your Restricted Stock Units (“Tax Withholdings”), including without limitation, the Federal Insurance Contributions Act ("FICA") tax imposed and the income tax withholding related to such FICA amounts. At its discretion, the Company or its Subsidiary may require you to reimburse it for any Tax Withholdings and withhold any payments, in whole or in part, until the Company or its Subsidiary is so reimbursed.  The Company or its Subsidiary shall also have the unrestricted right to withhold from any other cash amounts due (or to become due) from the Company or its Subsidiary to you, including from your wages or commissions, an amount equal to any Tax Withholdings. The Company or its Subsidiary shall report the payment of any Tax Withholdings and other related information to the appropriate governmental agencies as required under applicable laws.

G.
Change of Capital Structure

If the number of outstanding shares of the Company Stock is increased or decreased as a result of a stock dividend, stock split, subdivision or consolidation of shares, or other similar change in capitalization, the number of Restricted Stock Units, and the Grant Date Fair Market Value will automatically be adjusted, as provided in the Plan and as the Committee shall determine to be equitably required so as to preserve the value of the Restricted Stock Units that existed immediately before the change.

H.
Miscellaneous

The grant of these Restricted Stock Units does not obligate the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to continue your employment.  If there is any litigation involving the Restricted Stock Units, each party will bear its own expenses, including all legal fees, except that in the event of an action brought by you under this Notice of Grant following a Change of Control, then insofar as such action is not deemed to be frivolous by the arbitrator, the Company shall bear all expenses related to the arbitration, including all legal fees incurred by you. The Committee shall have the authority to interpret and administer this Notice of Grant.

I.
409A Compliance

The Restricted Stock Units are intended to comply with Code section 409A and official guidance issued thereunder. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Notice of Grant shall be interpreted, operated and administered in a manner consistent with this intention.

J.
Acceptance

By accepting this grant online, this Notice of Grant, together with the Plan, will become the entire agreement between you and the Company with respect to the subject matter hereof, and will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia without regard to conflict of law provisions in any jurisdiction. This Notice of Grant supersedes all prior discussions, negotiations, understandings, commitments and agreements with respect to such matters. By accepting this grant online, you agree that you are in compliance with, and will abide by, the Company’s “Policy Against Insider Trading” which can be found on The CarMax Way.

1.    Transfers are allowed only to the following transferees:

Your spouse, children, step-children, grandchildren, step-grandchildren or other lineal descendants (including relationships arising from legal adoptions).  Such individuals are hereinafter referred to as “Immediate Family Members”.

Any Option transferred in accordance with the terms hereof shall be accompanied by the associated SAR.

Change of Control; SARs

Pursuant to this Notice of Grant, you have been granted one (1) SAR for every Option granted to you hereunder.  Following a Change of Control, in lieu of exercising your vested Options, you may choose to exercise the SARs associated with such vested Options and granted hereunder.  Doing so will relieve you of the obligation to pay for the exercise of your Options as described above and, instead, will allow you to receive a cash payment of the net value of your SARs as calculated below without having to remit any payment to the Company.  The SARs granted in connection with the Options are limited SARs and may be exercised in accordance with the Plan and the terms hereof as follows:

1.
The SARs shall only be exercisable if a Change of Control occurs.  In such event, the SARs will be exercisable at any time during a period of 90 days beginning on the date the Change of Control occurs.  To the extent that the SARs or their underlying Options are not exercised during an exercise





period, the SARs will become unexercisable again until such time as another Change of Control occurs or [EXPIRE_DATE], when they expire.
2.
When the SARs become exercisable, you may exercise the SARs by giving written notice to the Company, signed by you, stating the number of SARs that you are exercising.
3.
Upon exercise of the SARs, you shall receive in exchange from the Company an amount equal to the excess of (x) the value of the Company’s common stock on the date of exercise, over (y) the exercise price of the underlying Option.  For purposes of this paragraph, the value of the Company’s common stock shall be the Fair Market Value of the Company’s common stock on the date of exercise.
4.
The Company’s obligation arising upon exercise of the SARs shall be paid in cash and shall be subject to required income tax withholdings.
5.
To the extent a SAR is exercised, the underlying Option must be surrendered.  The underlying Option, to the extent surrendered, shall no longer be exercisable.
Change in Capital Structure

If the number of outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock is increased or decreased as a result of a stock dividend, stock split, subdivision or consolidation of shares, or other similar change in capitalization, the number of Company shares for which you have unexercised Options and the exercise price will automatically be adjusted, as provided in the Plan, (i) so as to preserve the ratio that existed immediately before the change between the number of such shares and the total number of shares of Company stock previously outstanding, and (ii) so that your aggregate Option price remains the same; provided, however, that the Company will not be required to issue any fractional shares upon exercise of your Options as a result of such adjustment.

Legal Fees

The grant of these Options does not obligate the Company to continue your employment.  If there is any litigation involving Options, each party will bear its own expenses, including all legal fees, except that in the event of an action brought by you under this Notice of Grant following a Change of Control, then insofar as such action is not deemed to be frivolous by the arbitrator, the Company shall bear all expenses related to the arbitration, including all legal fees incurred by you.  The Committee shall have the authority to interpret and administer this Notice of Grant.
 
Acceptance

By accepting this grant on-line, this Notice of Grant, together with the Plan, will become a Stock Option Agreement between you and the Company that is governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia.  By accepting this grant online, you agree that you are in compliance with, and will abide by, the Company’s “Policy Against Insider Trading” which can be found on The CarMax Way.

EXHIBIT 1
Performance Formula

1.
Performance Formula . Except as set forth in Sections 3 and 4 below, the number of shares of Company Stock that will be paid shall be determined on the applicable Payment Date in accordance with the following Performance Formula:

(Number of vested Performance Stock Units)
multiplied by
(the PSU Performance-Based Multiplier)
2.
PSU Performance-Based Multiplier . For purposes of the Performance Formula, the PSU Performance-Based Multiplier shall be a number between __ and __. The number shall be determined based upon the following table:

If the sum of reported Company _________________ for FY __, FY __ and FY __ (the “Sum”) is ...
Then the PSU Performance-Based Multiplier shall be ...
$____ or greater
__
$____
__
$____
__
$____
__
$____ (the “Threshold”) or below
__

If the Sum is between two of the amounts noted in the table above, then the PSU Performance-Based Multiplier will be interpolated on a straight-line basis. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Sum is equal to or below the Threshold, the number of shares of Company Stock that will be paid shall be zero.
3.
Payment on Death or Disability . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if payment is triggered upon your death or you becoming Disabled, then the number of shares of Company Stock that will be paid shall equal the number of vested Performance Stock Units.
4.
Payment On or After a Change of Control . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if payment is triggered for any reason on or after the date of a Change of Control, then the number of shares of Company Stock that will be paid shall equal the number of vested Performance Stock Units.
5.
Committee Certification . Prior to any payments (other than those under Sections 3 and 4 ) being made, the Committee will review and certify in writing, whether, and to what extent, the Performance Goal in Section 2 for the Performance Period has been achieved. Such certification shall be final, conclusive and binding on you, and on all other persons, to the maximum extent permitted by law. To the extent permitted under Code section 162(m) and pursuant to Section 2(w) of the Plan, the Committee shall adjust the Performance Goal, as it deems appropriate, to exclude the effect (whether positive or negative) of any of the following occurring after the grant of the Performance Stock Units: (a) a change in accounting standards required by generally accepted accounting principles or (b) any extraordinary, unusual or nonrecurring item. Each such adjustment, if any, shall be made solely for the purpose of providing a consistent basis from period to period for the calculation of the Sum to prevent the dilution or enlargement of your rights with respect to the Performance Stock Units.
