On January 23, 2026, Copart entered an unsecured senior revolving credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank as administrative agent, providing a $1.25 billion facility that matures January 23, 2031. Concurrently, Copart terminated the commitments and repaid all amounts outstanding under its December 21, 2021 credit agreement with Bank of America.

Interest is priced at a fixed-rate spread of 0.75% to 1.125% or a daily rate plus 0.0% to 0.125%, depending on Copart's consolidated total net leverage ratio; unused commitments carry a fee of 0.05% to 0.125%.
Sub-facilities include $150.0 million equivalent each for CPRT GmbH and Copart Autos España, S.L.U., and $250.0 million equivalent for Copart UK Limited.
