Additional Elements of Compensation
We provide our executive officers the benefits available to CarMax associates generally. We also provide the limited perquisites described below. These benefits and perquisites are intended to be part of a competitive compensation package.
Benefits Available to CarMax Associates Generally
Our executives and our full-time associates generally are eligible for health insurance coverage, life insurance, short- and long-term disability insurance, matching gifts to qualified charitable organizations, and a defined contribution, or 401(k), plan that we refer to as our Retirement Savings Plan.
In addition, executives and CarMax associates who satisfied certain criteria as of December 31, 2008, may be eligible for benefits under our frozen Pension Plan. Additional details regarding these frozen benefits can be found in the “Pension Benefits in Fiscal 2024” table.
Non-Qualified Retirement Plans
Our executives and other highly-compensated associates are eligible to participate in two non-qualified retirement plans: the Retirement Restoration Plan (“RRP”) and the Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (“EDCP”). A description of these plans can be found in the narrative discussion following the “Nonqualified Deferred Compensation” table. Details regarding the fiscal 2024 contributions to each named executive officer’s RRP and EDCP accounts, as well as the earnings and aggregate balances for those accounts, can be found in the “Nonqualified Deferred Compensation” table.
In addition to the RRP and the EDCP, executives and other highly compensated CarMax associates who satisfied certain criteria as of December 31, 2008, may be eligible for benefits under our frozen Benefit Restoration Plan. Additional details regarding these frozen benefits can be found in the “Pension Benefits in Fiscal 2024” table.
Company Transportation
We provide the use of a CarMax-owned vehicle to each of our named executive officers and to certain other eligible associates. For all associates using CarMax-owned vehicles, we bear certain maintenance and insurance costs. We treat the personal use of a Company-owned vehicle as income to the associate. The associate pays the related income taxes.
We encourage our executive officers to use our plane for business travel. Our plane is also available for personal use by Mr. Nash. Mr. Nash is required to reimburse CarMax for the incremental costs associated with his personal use to the extent that those costs exceed $275,000 in any fiscal year. Mr. Nash bears all income taxes associated with his personal use of the plane.
We do not provide tax gross-ups on any of these transportation benefits.
Tax and Financial Planning Services
We provide a tax and financial planning benefit to our named executive officers. This benefit was valued at $15,710 for fiscal 2024. Officers who forego this benefit may engage their own tax professional at the Company’s expense in an amount up to $10,000 per year. The Committee approved this benefit to reduce the amount of time and attention that our executive officers must spend on personal tax and financial planning, which permits them to focus on their responsibilities to CarMax, and to maximize the financial reward of the compensation that CarMax provides. Officers bear all income taxes associated with these tax and financial planning benefits. We do not provide tax gross-ups on these benefits.
