Exhibit Number		Description
99.1		Press release, dated May 21, 2026, 2025 of Copart, Inc. announcing its financial results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2026, which ended April 30, 2026.

In connection with the CEO Transition, the Board approved, and the Company and Mr. Liaw entered into a Transition and Separation Agreement and General Release, dated June 25, 2026 (the “Transition Agreement”). The Transition Agreement provides that, commencing on the Transition Date, Mr. Liaw will become a Senior Advisor to Jay Adair and will provide customer-focused transition services to the Company until July 31, 2027 (as such date may be extended, the “Separation Date”). The period between the Transition Date and the Separation Date is referred to as the “Transition Period.”

Subject to timely execution and non-revocation of the Transition Agreement (which includes a general release), the Transition Agreement provides that Mr. Liaw will be entitled to receive (i) a lump sum payment equal to $450,000, less applicable tax withholding, and (ii) $200,000 during the Transition Period, less applicable tax withholding. In addition, the Company has agreed to waive the 10-year holding period applicable to the restricted stock units granted to Mr. Liaw on April 1, 2022 and to eliminate the price hurdles applicable to the performance-based portion of stock options granted to Mr. Liaw on March 9, 2021 and April 1, 2022, each effective as of the Transition Date. In addition, the Company has agreed to pay Mr. Liaw his fiscal 2026 bonus in accordance with the Company’s executive bonus plan and provide Mr. Liaw with 20 hours of private aircraft usage. Mr. Liaw’s existing equity awards will continue to vest during the Transition Period.

Subject to timely execution and non-revocation of the post-employment release, and provided that Executive’s employment is not terminated under certain circumstances prior to the Separation Date, Mr. Liaw is entitled to receive (i) $250,000, less applicable tax withholding, (ii) an extension of the post-termination exercise period of his unexercised stock options to the earlier of (x) the tenth (10th) anniversary of the applicable date of grant and (y) two years from the Separation Date (the “Option Amendment”), (iii) full accelerated vesting of Mr. Liaw’s then-remaining outstanding Company equity awards (which fully vest on or before April 1, 2027) and (iv) any remaining payments or benefits described in the foregoing paragraph that have not already been paid or provided. If the Company terminates Mr. Liaw’s services other than due to a Disqualifying Reason (as defined in the Transition Agreement), the Option Amendment shall extend the post-termination exercise period of his unexercised stock options to the earlier of (x) the tenth (10th) anniversary of the applicable date of grant and (y) April 1, 2032.

As consideration for these severance benefits, Mr. Liaw will be required to comply with his obligations under the Transition Agreement, including confidentiality, non-competition, non-disparagement and non-solicitation obligations.

The foregoing descriptions of the Transition Agreement and Omnibus Amendment to Award Agreements do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the text of the Transition Agreement and Omnibus Amendment to Award Agreements, which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.
