"Jeff has provided Copart with extraordinary leadership over the past decade — first as CFO, then President, and finally as our third-ever CEO," said Mr. Adair.

As a result, we are the trusted platform for insurance and commercial consignors all over the world. On behalf of everyone at Copart, I thank Jeff and wish him well."

Liaw said, "Leading Copart has been the privilege of a professional lifetime. I'm grateful to the Company for affording me the opportunity, for the customers who have entrusted us with their business, and for my teammates all over the world whose tireless efforts enable us to serve our customers and members so well.
