COPART INC 8-K Report, Executive Changes (Jun 4, 2015)

Filed June 4, 2015For Securities:CPRT

Summary

Copart, Inc. (CPRT) filed an 8-K on June 4, 2015, reporting on an amendment to stock option agreements for two key executives, A. Jayson Adair and Vincent W. Mitz. The primary change modifies the conditions under which stock options would vest immediately upon termination. Specifically, the amendment removes the provision for immediate full vesting of options prior to a "change in control" event if the executive experiences an "involuntary termination" without "cause". This adjustment impacts the potential for accelerated option vesting in certain separation scenarios. However, the agreements still stipulate immediate full vesting of options upon termination without cause or resignation for good reason if such events occur on or after a "change in control". Investors should note that this filing clarifies executive compensation terms related to potential future corporate events and executive departures, without altering other material aspects of the stock option agreements.
