Our common stock has been quoted on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol “CPRT” since March 17, 1994. As of September 25, 2026, we had 674 holders of record of our common stock.

Repurchases of Our Common Stock

On September 22, 2011, our Board of Directors approved a 320 million share increase in our stock repurchase program, bringing the total current authorization to 784 million shares. The repurchases may be effected through solicited or unsolicited transactions in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market, including under plans complying with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. No time limit has been placed on the duration of the stock repurchase program. Subject to applicable securities laws, such repurchases will be made at such times and in such amounts as we deem appropriate and may be discontinued at any time. For fiscal year 2026, we repurchased 43,433,164 shares of our common stock at a weighted average price of $37.63 per share totaling $1.6 billion. The Company did not repurchase any common stock under the program for fiscal years 2025 and 2024. As of July 31, 2026, the total number of shares repurchased under the program was 502 million, and subject to applicable limitations under Delaware law, 282 million shares were available for repurchase under the program.

In fiscal year 2026, certain employees held stock option awards that could be exercised through a cashless exercise. For the years ended July 31, 2026, 2025 and 2024, no employee exercised stock options through a cashless exercise. If exercised a portion of the options exercised will be net settled in satisfaction of the exercise price and employees’ statutory withholding requirements. Any shares withheld for taxes are treated as a repurchase of shares for accounting purposes, but do not count against our stock repurchase program.

Dividend Policies

We have not paid a cash dividend since becoming a public company in 1994. We currently intend to retain any earnings for use in our business.

Issuances of Unregistered Securities

There were no issuances of unregistered securities in the year ended July 31, 2026.
