Item 5.02.
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
 
CarMax, Inc. Annual Performance-Based Bonus Plan, as amended and restated
 
On June 26, 2007, at the 2007 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of CarMax, Inc. (the “Company”), the Company’s shareholders, upon the recommendation of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), approved the CarMax, Inc. Annual Performance-Based Bonus Plan, as amended and restated (the “Bonus Plan”).  The Bonus Plan is a performance-based incentive bonus plan under which our executive officers are eligible to receive bonus payments when certain performance objectives are satisfied. The Bonus Plan is intended to provide an incentive for superior work, to motivate covered executives toward even higher achievement, to align their goals and interests with those of our shareholders and to enable us to attract and retain a highly qualified management team.  Shareholder approval of the Bonus Plan  preserved the Company’s federal income tax deduction under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code for performance awards made under the Bonus Plan.  Additionally, shareholders approved a more expansive definition of the term “Performance Criteria,” which will provide greater flexibility to the Company’s Compensation and Personnel Committee (the “Committee”) in selecting the relevant performance criteria used to evaluate and compensate Bonus Plan participants.
 
The description of the amendments to the Bonus Plan herein is a summary of the amendments and does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Bonus Plan, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 5.02.
 
Benefit Restoration Plan, as amended and restated
 
On June 25, 2007, the Committee recommended and the Board approved the CarMax, Inc. Benefit Restoration Plan, as amended and restated effective as of January 1, 2008 (the “BRP”).  The purpose of the BRP is to provide deferred compensation for certain key employees of the Company who are expected to contribute significantly to the growth of the Company.  The amendments (the “409A Amendments”) were made in response to the adoption of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).  Specifically, the 409A Amendments: (i) require that certain benefit payments made to BRP participants be delayed for six months; (ii) require that BRP participants make an affirmative election as to the form of their respective benefits in 2007 or within the first 30 days of the plan year following the year that the individual becomes a plan participant; (iii) remove the Company’s discretionary right to make certain benefit payments in a lump sum form; and (iv) “grandfather” benefits earned and vested prior to January 1, 2005, which benefits are not subject to Code Section 409A.
 
The description of the amendments to the BRP herein is a summary of the amendments and does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the BRP, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.2 and is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 5.02.





   
Item 5.03.

On June 25, 2007, the Board approved an amendment, effective June 26, 2007,  to Section 2.2 of the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”). The amendment decreases the number of directors serving on the Board from thirteen (13) to twelve (12).  The full text of the Bylaws, as amended and restated June 26, 2007, is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated by reference herein into this Item 5.03.
