record and you have the right to vote in person at the Annual Meeting. If your&nbsp;shares are held in the name of your bank, broker or other nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of&nbsp;shares held in &#147;street name.&#148; As a
beneficial owner, if you wish to vote at the Annual Meeting, you will need to bring to the Annual Meeting a legal proxy from your bank, broker or other nominee authorizing you to vote those&nbsp;shares. </FONT></P>

non-votes are counted as present or represented for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum for the Annual Meeting. A broker non-vote occurs when a nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner votes on one proposal but does not

independent registered public accounting firm is considered a &#147;discretionary&#148; matter, which means that brokerage firms may vote in their discretion on this matter on behalf of clients who have not furnished voting instructions. However,
the election of directors, the non-binding, advisory vote to approve Sonic&#146;s named executive officer compensation and the proposal to approve the amendment and restatement of the Sonic Automotive, Inc. 2012 Stock Incentive Plan (the &#147;2012
Stock Incentive Plan&#148;) are &#147;non-discretionary&#148; matters under the rules and regulations of the NYSE, which means brokerage firms that have not received voting instructions from their clients on these matters may not vote on these
proposals. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:6%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">With respect to Proposal 1, the election of directors, only &#147;for&#148; and &#147;withhold&#148; votes may be

accounting firm for fiscal 2015, the non-binding, advisory vote to approve Sonic&#146;s named executive officer compensation and the proposal to approve the amendment and restatement of the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan, an abstention will be counted as
a vote present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the proposals and will have the same effect as a vote against the proposals, and a broker non-vote will not be considered entitled to vote on these
proposals and will therefore have no effect on their outcome. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Voting of Proxies </B></FONT></P>

of the voting power of Sonic&#146;s Common Stock, Sonic qualifies as a &#147;controlled company&#148; for purposes of the NYSE&#146;s listing standards and, therefore, is not required to comply with all of the requirements of those listing
standards, including the requirement that a listed company have a majority of independent directors. Nevertheless, Sonic is committed to having its Board membership in favor of independent directors as evidenced by Sonic&#146;s Corporate Governance
Guidelines, which provide that it is desirable that any non-employee director be qualified as &#147;independent&#148; under the NYSE&#146;s listing standards and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
&#147;SEC&#148;). </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:6%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Our Board believes that a majority of its members are independent under both the applicable NYSE rules and
the applicable SEC rules. The NYSE rules provide that a director does not qualify as &#147;independent&#148; unless the board of directors affirmatively determines that the director has no material relationship with the company (either directly or
as a partner, stockholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with the company). The NYSE rules require a board of directors to consider all of the relevant facts and circumstances in determining the materiality of a
director&#146;s relationship with a company. The Board has adopted Categorical Standards for Determination of Director Independence (the &#147;Categorical Standards&#148;), which incorporate the independence standards of the NYSE rules, to assist
the Board in determining whether a director has a material relationship with Sonic. The Categorical Standards are available on Sonic&#146;s website, <I>www.sonicautomotive.com</I>. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:6%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In February 2015, the Board of Directors, with the assistance of the NCG Committee, conducted an evaluation of director independence
based on the Categorical Standards. The Board considered all relationships and transactions between each director (and his immediate family and affiliates) and each of Sonic, its management and its independent registered public accounting firm,
including, with respect to Mr.&nbsp;R. Eugene Taylor, who serves as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of CBFC, that Capital Bank in the ordinary course of business provides automotive retail loans to consumers, including to customers at certain
of Sonic&#146;s dealership subsidiaries. For each auto loan referred to Capital Bank by one of Sonic&#146;s dealerships, Capital Bank compensated both the dealership and Sonic. The Board and the NCG Committee determined that the level of business
between Capital Bank and Sonic in fiscal 2014 was not material to either party. As a result of this evaluation, the Board determined those relationships that do exist or did exist within the last three years (except for Messrs.&nbsp;O. Bruton
Smith&#146;s, B. Scott Smith&#146;s, David Bruton Smith&#146;s and William R. Brooks&#146;) all fall well below the thresholds in the Categorical Standards. Consequently, the Board of Directors determined that each of Messrs. Belk, Byrd, Doolan,
Harris, Heller and Taylor is an independent director under the Categorical Standards, the NYSE rules and the SEC rules. The Board also determined that each member of the Audit, Compensation and NCG Committees (see membership information below under
&#147;&#151; Board Committees&#148;) is independent, including that each member of the Audit Committee is &#147;independent&#148; as that term is defined under Rule 10A-3(b)(1)(ii) of the Exchange Act, and that each member of the Compensation
Committee is an &#147;outside director&#148; as defined under Section&nbsp;162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the &#147;Code&#148;). Messrs. O. Bruton Smith, B. Scott Smith and David Bruton Smith are not independent due to
their employment by Sonic and Mr.&nbsp;William&nbsp;R. Brooks is not independent due to his employment with certain affiliates of Sonic. </FONT></P>

receive automatic grants of restricted stock during each year of service under the Sonic Automotive, Inc. 2012 Formula Restricted Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the &#147;2012 Formula Plan&#148;). The 2012 Formula Plan provides for an annual
grant of restricted stock to each eligible non-employee director on the first business day following each annual meeting of Sonic&#146;s stockholders, beginning with the 2012 annual meeting of stockholders. The number of restricted shares of
Class&nbsp;A Common Stock granted to an eligible non-employee director each year will equal $75,000 divided by the average closing sale price of the Class&nbsp;A Common Stock on the NYSE for the 20 trading days immediately prior to the grant date
(rounded up to the nearest whole share). Generally, subject to the director&#146;s continued service on the Board, the restricted stock will vest in full on the first anniversary of the grant date or, if earlier, the day before the next annual
meeting of Sonic&#146;s stockholders following the grant date. If a non-employee director initially becomes a member of Sonic&#146;s Board during any calendar year, but after the meeting of Sonic&#146;s stockholders for that year, the non-employee
director will receive a restricted stock grant upon his or her election to the Board with the number of shares determined as described above and, subject to the director&#146;s continued service on Sonic&#146;s Board, the restricted stock generally
will vest in full on the first anniversary of the grant date. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:6%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Shares of restricted stock granted under the 2012 Formula Plan

forfeited. If the director&#146;s service on the Board terminates due to his death or disability or immediately prior to or upon a change in control of Sonic, the director&#146;s restricted stock will become fully vested. Upon either the
consummation of a tender or exchange offer that constitutes a change in control of Sonic or the third business day prior to the effective date of any other change in control of Sonic, all outstanding restricted stock will become fully vested.

<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:6%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Sonic&#146;s executive compensation program is comprised primarily of two components: annual cash compensation, paid in the form of base
salary and performance-based bonuses, and long-term equity compensation, principally in the form of performance-based restricted&nbsp;shares of Class A Common Stock, performance-based restricted stock units convertible into&nbsp;shares of Class A
Common Stock, and options to purchase Class&nbsp;A Common Stock. This compensation program is designed to place emphasis on performance-based compensation. The Compensation Committee typically reviews and adjusts base salaries and awards of cash
bonuses and equity-based compensation in the first quarter of each year based on several factors, including management&#146;s recommendations approved by the Chief Executive Officer. Management&#146;s recommendations are developed under the
supervision of the Chief Executive Officer through a collaborative process involving members of Sonic&#146;s senior management team. The President, Chief Financial Officer and other members of senior management presented management&#146;s written
recommendations, reports and proposals on 2014 compensation to the Compensation Committee. These recommendations and proposals addressed topics such as base salaries, overall structure, target levels and payout levels for the annual cash bonus
program under Sonic&#146;s Incentive Compensation Plan, equity awards to executive officers and management&#146;s rationale for these recommendations. The Compensation Committee considered these recommendations before determining compensation.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:6%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In addition to management&#146;s recommendations and proposals, the Compensation Committee also referred to reports it
previously received from Towers Watson, an independent consulting firm that specializes in executive compensation. In 2013, the Compensation Committee engaged Towers Watson to provide an analysis of the competitiveness of base salaries, annual cash
bonus programs, total cash compensation (base salary plus cash bonus), long-term incentives and total direct compensation (total cash compensation plus the value of long-term incentives), paid by Sonic to its executive officers in comparison to
similarly-situated executive officers of certain publicly traded automotive retail peer companies (Asbury Automotive Group, Inc., AutoNation, Inc., CarMax, Inc., Group 1 Automotive, Inc., and Penske Automotive Group, Inc.) and certain other
companies </FONT></P>

Sporting Goods, Inc., Dollar General Corporation, Dollar Tree, Inc., Family Dollar Stores, Inc., Genuine Parts Company, Hertz Global Holdings, Inc., O&#146;Reilly Automotive, Inc., and The Pep Boys &#151; Manny, Moe&nbsp;&amp; Jack). Towers Watson
also took into account the Company&#146;s performance as compared to the companies in the comparison groups. In its reports, dated February&nbsp;27, 2013 and March&nbsp;22, 2013, Tower Watson provided a comparison of base salary, cash bonus, target
and actual total cash compensation, long-term incentives and target and actual total direct compensation of each executive officer, a competitive analysis of the compensation structure of Sonic&#146;s executive officers compared to similarly
situated executive officers of the publicly traded automotive retail peer group and extended peer group, and a comparison of the Company&#146;s performance. The Compensation Committee referred to these reports and management&#146;s recommendations
in determining executive compensation for 2014. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:6%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Although Sonic qualifies as a &#147;controlled company&#148; for purposes of
the NYSE&#146;s listing standards and, therefore, is not required to comply with all of the requirements of those listing standards, the Compensation Committee has assessed Towers Watson&#146;s independence as a compensation consultant by reference
to the NYSE listing standards. At the time that Towers Watson provided the services described above, Towers Watson did not provide other significant services to Sonic and had no other direct or indirect business relationships with Sonic or any of
its affiliates. Subsequent to providing these services, Towers Watson later was engaged in October 2013 to advise the Compensation Committee on the design of a long-term incentive plan for EchoPark Automotive, Inc., a subsidiary of Sonic, and to
provide related services. This engagement continued during 2014. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:6%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Taking these and other factors into account, the
Compensation Committee has determined that the work performed by Towers Watson does not raise any conflicts of interest. Additionally, based on its analysis of certain factors identified as being relevant to compensation consultant independence, the
Compensation Committee has concluded that Towers Watson is independent of the Company&#146;s management. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:6%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Compensation
Committee also considered the affirmative stockholder advisory vote on named executive officer compensation disclosed in the proxy statement at the Company&#146;s 2014 annual meeting of stockholders (approximately 96% of the votes cast by our
stockholders at the 2014 annual meeting were in favor of the proposal to approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, our named executive officer compensation) as one of the many factors it considered in connection with determining executive

Named Executive Officers during 2014 was targeted to be competitive principally in relation to other automotive retailing companies (such as those listed above included in the Peer Group Index in the performance graph appearing in our annual report
to stockholders). While the Compensation Committee analyzes the competitiveness of annual cash compensation paid by Sonic to its executives in comparison to data from comparable companies, the Compensation Committee has not adopted any specific

</I></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:6%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">During 2014, Messrs.&nbsp;O. Bruton Smith, B. Scott Smith, David Bruton Smith, Jeff Dyke and Heath R. Byrd participated in
the Incentive Compensation Plan. Compensation under the Incentive Compensation Plan is intended to provide highly-qualified executives and other key employees with an incentive to devote their best efforts to Sonic and enhance the value of Sonic for
the benefit of stockholders. After consideration of management&#146;s recommendations, on February&nbsp;12, 2014, the Compensation Committee established a two-tiered approach to determine potential incentive cash bonus awards for Messrs.&nbsp;O.
Bruton Smith, B. Scott Smith, David Bruton Smith, Jeff Dyke and Heath R. Byrd for the performance period beginning January&nbsp;1, 2014 and ending December&nbsp;31, 2014. The first tier was an objective threshold achievement level of defined
adjusted earnings per share (&#147;EPS&#148; as described below) for Sonic for the 2014 calendar year of at least $1.46. No bonuses were payable under the Incentive Compensation Plan for 2014 if such threshold performance goal was not achieved. If
the threshold adjusted EPS goal was achieved, then each Named Executive Officer was eligible for a bonus of $3,000,000 (the &#147;maximum bonus amount&#148;). Adjusted EPS was selected as the primary performance goal under the 2014 bonus program in
order to align the Named Executive Officers&#146; cash bonuses with profitability realized by the Company during 2014. However, the second tier of the bonus program established additional performance criteria that the Compensation Committee intended
to use to determine actual bonus amounts payable to the Named Executive Officers. These performance goals included additional achievement levels related to adjusted EPS goals and also customer satisfaction (&#147;CSI&#148; as described below)
performance goals based on the percentage of Sonic&#146;s dealerships that meet or exceed specified objectives, as reported by the respective manufacturers for such brands. If the first tier performance requirement was achieved, the Compensation
Committee could, in its determination, exercise negative discretion to reduce the dollar amount of a Named Executive Officer&#146;s actual bonus to less than the maximum bonus amount based upon achievement of the adjusted EPS and CSI goals under the
second tier of the bonus program along with other factors the Compensation Committee determined relevant, such as its subjective assessment of financial, operational, strategic, corporate and individual performance, and unanticipated contingencies
and events. An Named Executive Officer&#146;s bonus amount under the Incentive Compensation Plan may be less than (but not more than) the maximum bonus amount, with annual cash bonuses (if any) to be paid as soon as administratively practicable
following the Compensation Committee&#146;s determination of the extent to which the specified performance goals were achieved. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:6%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Under the second tier of the 2014 bonus program, the potential performance-based cash bonuses for the Named Executive Officers were based
on a percentage of their respective annual base salary during the performance period. The Compensation Committee established two categories of performance goals for each of the Named Executive Officers: defined EPS levels and CSI performance for
Sonic&#146;s dealerships. In establishing the potential bonus awards for each executive officer under the second tier of the 2014 bonus program, the Compensation Committee chose to more heavily weight the EPS component to more closely tie the
executive&#146;s bonus to the profitability of the Company. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:6%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">For purposes of the Incentive Compensation Plan performance goals
in 2014, adjusted EPS was defined as (A)&nbsp;Sonic&#146;s net income determined in accordance with GAAP, adjusted to fix the income tax rate on continuing and discontinued operations at 38.5% and to take into account the timing of the disposition
of dealerships during 2014 such that the budget and actual performance of dealerships disposed of during 2014 are included in the calculation of adjusted EPS performance objective levels and adjusted EPS only for the period up to the date of such
disposition, and excluding the effects of (i)&nbsp;any gain or loss recognized by Sonic on the disposition of dealerships (including asset or lease impairment charges related to a decision to sell a specific dealership), (ii)&nbsp;asset write-downs

an effective means of aligning the long-term interests of Sonic&#146;s key officers and employees with those of its stockholders, to provide incentives to, and to attract and retain and to encourage equity ownership by, key officers and employees
providing services to Sonic and its subsidiaries upon whose efforts Sonic&#146;s success and future growth depends. Sonic&#146;s long-term equity compensation program is based principally upon awards under the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (although no
further grants can be made under the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan) and the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan of (i)&nbsp;performance-based restricted&nbsp;shares of Class&nbsp;A Common Stock, (ii)&nbsp;performance-based restricted stock units convertible
into&nbsp;shares of Class&nbsp;A Common Stock, and/or (iii)&nbsp;options to purchase Class&nbsp;A Common Stock. The size of awards of restricted stock, restricted stock units or stock options are based generally upon a subjective evaluation of the
executive&#146;s performance by the Compensation Committee, executive compensation of comparable companies and management&#146;s recommendations submitted to the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee&#146;s evaluation considers a number
of non-quantitative factors, including the responsibilities of the individual officers for and contribution to Sonic&#146;s operating results (in relation to other recipients of Sonic equity awards), and their expected future contributions, as well
as prior awards to the particular executive officer. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:6%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">On February&nbsp;12, 2014, the Compensation Committee determined it was

Mr.&nbsp;O.&nbsp;Bruton Smith, 80,241; Mr.&nbsp;B.&nbsp;Scott Smith, 69,306; Mr.&nbsp;David Bruton Smith, 47,137; Mr.&nbsp;Jeff Dyke, 61,883; and Mr.&nbsp;Heath R. Byrd, 42,430. </FONT></P>

Performance-Based Cash Bonuses&#148; above). The Compensation Committee chose the adjusted EPS performance criteria for the restricted stock unit grants for the same reasons as it was chosen to be the primary performance criteria for
performance-based cash bonuses, as set forth above. Subject to meeting the adjusted EPS performance condition, the performance-based restricted stock unit awards vest in three annual installments, with 25%&nbsp;vesting on March&nbsp;31, 2015,
30%&nbsp;vesting on February&nbsp;12, 2016 and 45%&nbsp;vesting on February&nbsp;12, 2017. The Compensation Committee chose to establish a one-year defined EPS performance condition primarily because of the difficulty of providing an accurate
forecast for Sonic&#146;s EPS for a three-year future period. Depending on the extent to which Sonic met the specified adjusted EPS performance objectives, the restricted stock units granted to the Named Executive Officers were subject to

not currently make matching contributions with respect to employee deferrals, but eligible employees may be credited with additional contributions to make up for matching contributions the employees would have received under Sonic&#146;s 401(k) plan
but for the legal limitations on the amount of compensation that can be considered for 401(k) plan purposes (e.g., $260,000 for 2014). Sonic&#146;s contributions generally vest based on an employee&#146;s full&nbsp;years of Deferred Plan
participation with 20% vesting for each year so that an employee is fully vested after five&nbsp;years of participation. Participation in the Deferred Plan is offered annually to a select group of our management and highly compensated employees.
Contributions by participants in the Deferred Plan, including any participating executive officers, are credited with a rate of return (positive or negative) based on deemed investments selected by a participant from among several different
investment funds, with such deemed earnings determined by the actual market performance of the investment funds selected by the participant. No Named Executive Officer elected to participate in or received any Company contributions under the

<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:6%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The SERP was adopted effective as of January&nbsp;1, 2010. The SERP is a nonqualified deferred compensation plan that is considered
unfunded for federal tax purposes and intended for a select group of management or highly compensated employees. The Compensation Committee adopted the SERP in order to attract and retain key employees by providing a retirement benefit in addition
to the benefits provided by Sonic&#146;s tax-qualified and other nonqualified deferred compensation plans. The Compensation Committee selects the employees who will become SERP participants and designates each such employee as a Tier&nbsp;1
participant, Tier&nbsp;2 participant or Tier&nbsp;3 participant. Mr.&nbsp;Jeff Dyke was designated as a Tier&nbsp;1 participant in the SERP effective as of January&nbsp;1, 2010. Mr.&nbsp;Heath R. Byrd originally was designated as a Tier 3
participant effective May&nbsp;1, 2010 but since was redesignated as a Tier 1 participant in the SERP effective as of April&nbsp;1, 2013 in connection with his promotion to Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:6%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Subject to a specified vesting schedule, the SERP generally provides a retirement benefit in the form of an annual payment for a period
of 15&nbsp;years, with the annual payment based on a specified percentage of the participant&#146;s &#147;final average salary.&#148; The annual payment for a Tier&nbsp;1 participant is based on 50% of final average salary. The annual payment for a
Tier&nbsp;2 participant is based on 40% of final average salary. The annual payment for a Tier&nbsp;3 participant is based on 35% of final average salary. Final average salary generally means the average of the participant&#146;s highest three
annual base salaries during the last five plan&nbsp;years prior to the participant&#146;s separation from service with Sonic. A participant is generally eligible for the vested portion of his or her SERP benefit upon normal retirement after reaching
age 65 or age 55 with at least 10&nbsp;years of employment with Sonic. If a participant leaves Sonic before qualifying for normal retirement, the participant&#146;s SERP benefit generally is reduced for early retirement (in addition to application
of the vesting schedule). The vested benefit is reduced by 10% for each year the participant&#146;s payment commencement date precedes the earliest date the participant would have been eligible for normal retirement. As recently amended, the SERP
provides that the early retirement reduction does not apply to eligible participants following a change in control of Sonic. Please see the discussion under &#147;&#151; Pension Benefits for 2014&#148; below for further information about the SERP.

STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">As noted above, the compensation paid to Sonic&#146;s Named Executive Officers is based primarily on the performance of Sonic. The Compensation Committee considers the potential effect of
Section&nbsp;162(m) of the Code in designing our executive compensation program, along with other factors in the context of our overall approach to executive compensation. Section&nbsp;162(m) of the Code generally limits Sonic&#146;s annual federal
income tax deduction for compensation paid to certain covered employees (generally, the Chief Executive Officer and certain other executive officers subject to Section&nbsp;162(m) of the Code) to $1.0 million with respect to each such executive
officer, unless the compensation meets the various technical requirements for &#147;performance-based&#148; compensation under Section&nbsp;162(m) of the Code. Executive officer compensation attributable to stock options granted under the Stock
Option Plan, the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan or the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan, awards of performance-based restricted stock or performance-based restricted stock units pursuant to the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan or the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan, and
annual cash bonuses paid under the Incentive Compensation Plan generally are intended to meet the requirements for deductible performance-based compensation. The Compensation Committee intends to continue to manage Sonic&#146;s executive
compensation program in a manner that is intended to preserve material federal income tax deductions when appropriate and if deductibility can be achieved without sacrificing flexibility and other important elements of the overall compensation
program. However, the Compensation Committee also must approach executive compensation in a manner which will attract, motivate and retain key personnel. Accordingly, the Compensation Committee retains the ability to evaluate performance and
compensate Sonic&#146;s executive officers appropriately in the Committee&#146;s judgment, even if it may result in certain compensation that may not be deductible under Section&nbsp;162(m) of the Code. The Compensation Committee believes that the
flexibility to award such compensation serves the interests of Sonic and its stockholders by allowing the Compensation Committee to compensate executive officers appropriately in its discretion as circumstances warrant. In addition, changes in

on usage, such as pilot salaries, home hanger expenses and general taxes and insurance are excluded from the incremental cost calculation. If the aircraft flies empty before picking up or dropping off a passenger flying for personal reasons, this

age 55 for each of Messrs.&nbsp;Dyke and Byrd. The present value of accumulated benefit is calculated using the discount rate assumption that Sonic also uses for its financial statement disclosures, which at December&nbsp;31, 2014 was 3.88%.

participant is based on 50% of final average salary. The annual payment for a Tier&nbsp;2 participant is based on 40% of final average salary. The annual payment for a Tier&nbsp;3 participant is based on 35% of final average salary. Final average
salary generally means the average of the participant&#146;s highest three annual base salaries during the last five plan&nbsp;years prior to the participant&#146;s separation from service with Sonic. A participant is generally eligible for the

defined in the SERP). See &#147;&#151; Pension Benefits for 2014&#148; for the present value of accumulated SERP benefits as of December&nbsp;31, 2014. In addition, if a participant separates from service with the Company within 24 months following
a change in control, the SERP benefit will be paid in the form of a lump sum equal to the present value of the otherwise applicable 15 annual payments. See &#147;&#151; Pension Benefits for 2014&#148; for a discussion of the SERP. A change in
control on December&nbsp;31, 2014 would have triggered full vesting of Messrs.&nbsp;Byrd&#146;s and&nbsp;Dyke&#146;s SERP benefits. If Mr.&nbsp;Dyke had terminated employment immediately following the change in control, the estimated present value
of the lump sum payable to Mr.&nbsp;Dyke would have been $1,315,225 (with the present value determined assuming a 3.88% discount rate). If Mr.&nbsp;Byrd had terminated employment immediately following the change in control, the estimated present
value of the lump sum payable to Mr.&nbsp;Byrd would have been $974,634 (with the present value determined assuming a 3.88% discount rate). As amended in February 2015, the SERP provides that the early retirement reduction does not apply to
participants who were employees immediately prior to a change in control, regardless of whether or not such participants remain employees upon or following the change in control. If this amendment had been in place as of December&nbsp;31, 2014 and
Mr.&nbsp;Dyke and Mr.&nbsp;Byrd had terminated employment immediately following the change in control on December&nbsp;31, 2014, the estimated present value of the lump sum payable to Messrs. Dyke and Mr.&nbsp;Byrd would have been $5,091,181 and
$2,998,889, respectively (with the present value in each case determined assuming a 3.88% discount rate). </FONT></P>

Committee to grant restricted stock, restricted stock units or a stock award as a performance award that are generally intended to meet the requirements for performance-based compensation under Section&nbsp;162(m) of the Code. Section&nbsp;162(m) of
the Code limits the Company&#146;s annual federal income tax deduction for compensation paid to the Chief Executive Officer and the next three highest paid officers (generally excluding the principal financial officer) to $1 million with respect to
each such officer. However, compensation that qualifies as performance-based compensation under Section&nbsp;162(m) of the Code is not subject to this deduction limit. Compensation qualifies as performance-based only if it satisfies certain
requirements, including that the material terms of the plan and the performance criteria pursuant to which the awards will be paid are disclosed to and approved by the stockholders. Accordingly, the Board of Directors is seeking stockholder approval
of the amendment and restatement of the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan to satisfy the requirements of Section&nbsp;162(m) of the Code. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:6%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">For performance awards, the Compensation Committee will establish in writing the performance goals upon which the performance award is contingent, the period over which such goals will be measured and any
other applicable conditions. These terms must be established within 90 days after the beginning of the applicable period (or, if earlier, by the date on which 25% of the period has been completed). </FONT></P>

increase or positive result under one of the above criteria and could include, for example, maintaining the status quo or the limitation of economic losses (measured in such case by reference to the specific criteria). When establishing the
performance goals, the Compensation Committee may specify that they will be determined either before or after taxes and adjusted to exclude items such as (i)&nbsp;asset write-downs or impairment charges; (ii)&nbsp;the effect of unusual or
extraordinary charges or income items or other events, including acquisitions or dispositions of businesses or assets, restructurings, discontinued operations, reductions in force, refinancing/restructuring of short term and/or long term debt, or

following exercise of the option, the subsequent disposition of such shares will ordinarily result in long-term capital gains or losses to the option holder equal to the difference between the amount realized on disposition of the shares and the
exercise price. The Company will not be entitled to any deduction in such case. If the holding period requirements described above are not met, the option holder will recognize ordinary income upon disposition of the Class&nbsp;A Common Stock equal
to the excess of the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise (or, if less, the sale price received on disposition of the shares) over the exercise price. The Company will be entitled to a corresponding tax deduction in the same

deduction. If the recipient subsequently disposes of the shares of Class&nbsp;A Common Stock, any additional gain or loss should be eligible for short-term or long-term capital gain or loss tax treatment depending on how long the shares were held
after the ordinary income was recognized. If a recipient makes an &#147;83(b) election&#148; and then forfeits the shares of Class&nbsp;A Common Stock, the recipient normally will not be entitled to a refund with respect to the tax already paid.

STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The above discussion regarding the Company&#146;s federal income tax deductions is subject to meeting certain requirements under Section&nbsp;162(m) of the Code. Section&nbsp;162(m) of the Code generally
limits the Company&#146;s annual federal income tax deduction for compensation paid to the Chief Executive Officer and certain other officers to $1 million with respect to each such officer. However, compensation that qualifies as performance-based
compensation under Section&nbsp;162(m) of the Code is not subject to this deduction limit. The 2012 Stock Incentive Plan permits the Compensation Committee to grant awards intended to qualify for this exception to the deduction limit of
Section&nbsp;162(m) of the Code. However, the Company reserves the right to grant awards that may not be deductible under Section&nbsp;162(m) of the Code, and nothing in this proposal precludes the Company from exercising such right. There is no
guarantee that awards under the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan that are intended to qualify as tax deductible under Section&nbsp;162(m) of the Code will ultimately be determined as such by the Internal Revenue Service. </FONT></P>
