<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">FAIRFIELD, CA (MARCH&nbsp;12, 2009) &#151; Copart,&nbsp;Inc. (NASDAQ: CPRT)
today announced that its Board of Directors has called a Special Meeting of
Shareholders on April&nbsp;14, 2009 to consider a proposal to approve the grant
of stock options to the Company&#146;s Chairman and CEO, Willis J. Johnson, and its
President, A. Jay Adair, in lieu of cash and other equity compensation for a
five-year period.&#160; If approved by the
shareholders, Mr.&nbsp;Johnson and Mr.&nbsp;Adair would each be granted stock
options to purchase 2,000,000 shares of the Company&#146;s common stock at an
exercise price equal to the closing price on the date of the special meeting,
or any adjournment thereof, in lieu of cash and equity compensation (other than
a salary of $1.00 per year) for a five-year period. Each option would
become exercisable over five years, with twenty percent vesting one year from
the date of grant, and the balance vesting monthly over the subsequent four
years.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">If shareholders approve
the equity compensation plan, Mr.&nbsp;Johnson and Mr.&nbsp;Adair will both
give up their annual salary, currently $750,000 per year, as well as any cash
bonuses for the next five years.&#160;
Finally, Mr.&nbsp;Johnson and Mr.&nbsp;Adair will not receive any
additional stock options or other equity incentives during the five year
vesting term of the stock options.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&#147;The Board believes this
proposal demonstrates an extraordinary commitment on the part of senior
management to Copart and its shareholders and offers strong evidence of
management&#146;s conviction concerning Copart&#146;s strategy and prospects,&#148; stated Dan
Englander, Chairman of the Company&#146;s Compensation Committee.&#160; &#147;In addition, this proposal will align Mr.&nbsp;Johnson
and Mr.&nbsp;Adair&#146;s incentives as closely as possible with our shareholder
partners.&nbsp; We believe shareholders will be comforted by the fact that Mr.&nbsp;Johnson
and Mr.&nbsp;Adair will earn no compensation over the next five years unless
they deliver where it is most visible, in the share price.&nbsp; In an
unprecedented market environment, this sharing of risk is a strong and unique
statement by Mr.&nbsp;Johnson and Mr.&nbsp;Adair, and we stand behind them
fully in this effort.&nbsp; Having said that, we feel it is only right to put
the matter before shareholders.&nbsp; The Board believes this proposal is in
the best interests of all Copart shareholders, and the individual members of
the Board have committed their significant shares to vote in favor of it.&#148;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&#147;We have always had a long term
commitment to the success of Copart and this proposal is a testament to that
fact. Willis and I can&#146;t think of a better way to demonstrate our long term
belief in Copart than working for $1 per year. If the stock price doesn&#146;t go up
in the future we work for free. That&#146;s what we call having real skin in the
game,&#148; said Jay Adair.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The
affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of Copart common stock present (in
person or by proxy) and voting at the special meeting is required to approve
the option grants.&#160; As shareholders, Mr.&nbsp;Johnson
and Mr.&nbsp;Adair would otherwise be entitled to vote their shares at the
Special Meeting.&#160; Mr.&nbsp;Johnson and Mr.&nbsp;Adair
have determined, however, with the concurrence of the Company&#146;s Board of
Directors, that they will abstain from voting at the Special Meeting any shares
over which they exercise voting control.&#160;
As a result, the Company&#146;s compensation committee and board of directors
have determined that the proposal will not be implemented or deemed approved
unless it is approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of
the Company&#146;s common stock that are present (in person or by proxy) and voting
at the Special Meeting, excluding the vote of any shares over which Mr.&nbsp;Johnson
or Mr.&nbsp;Adair exercise voting control.</font></p>

I founded Copart, my objective has always been to do what is best for the
company, shareholders, and employees. Under this plan, Jay and I will be
completely aligned with the shareholders.&#160;
Each of our independent directors has approved this plan and indicated
they would vote in favor of it.&#160; Because
the purpose of this proposal is to benefit all of Copart&#146;s shareholders, Jay
and I have decided to abstain from voting our shares and let the public
shareholders make the final determination on the proposal,&#148; said Willis J.
Johnson.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Copart,
founded in 1982, provides vehicle sellers with a full range of remarketing
services to process and sell salvage and clean title vehicles to dismantlers,
rebuilders, exporters and, in some states, to end users. Copart remarkets the
vehicles through Internet sales utilizing its proprietary VB(2)&nbsp;technology.&nbsp;Copart
sells vehicles on behalf of insurance companies, banks, finance companies,
fleet operators, dealers, car dealerships, the general public and others. The
company currently operates 147 facilities in the United States, Canada and the
United Kingdom. Salvage vehicles are either damaged vehicles deemed a total
loss for insurance or business purposes or are recovered stolen vehicles for
which an insurance settlement with the vehicle owner has already been made. For

STATEMENT CONCERNING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS:</font></b></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">This press release contains
forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 relating to the views held by Copart&#146;s directors
and management with respect to Copart&#146;s future prospects and the ability of the
executive compensation plan that is the subject of the proxy statement to align
management and shareholder interests.&#160;
Forward-looking statements are based on management&#146;s current
expectations and are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties.&#160; There can be no assurances that the proposed
executive compensation structure will result in increases in the value of
Copart&#146;s common stock or that the compensation structure will have a positive
effect on Copart&#146;s future operating results and financial condition.&#160; Copart&#146;s business and future operating
results are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including risks that
affect auction pricing for our salvage vehicles, our ability to obtain and
retain contracts with key vehicle suppliers, and risks associated with Copart&#146;s
recently expanded operations in the United Kingdom.&#160; For a more complete discussion of the risks
that could affect Copart&#146;s business, you should review the risks identified in
Copart&#146;s most recent Annual Report on Form&nbsp;10-K and Quarterly Report on Form&nbsp;10-Q
as filed with the SEC.&#160; Copart does not
undertake to update any forward-looking statement that may be made from time to
time on its behalf.</font></p>
