The Complaint charges CarMax and certain of its officers and directors with violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Complaint alleges that during the Class Period, CarMax was not meeting internal sales targets and was facing a 55% shortfall in its net income for the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, later prompting the Company to suspend its financial guidance for the rest of fiscal 2009. According to the Complaint, CarMax publicly issued materially false and misleading statements and failed to disclose: (i) that CarMax was not positioned to meet its sales targets or earnings objectives for fiscal 2009; (ii) that the Company had completed a refinancing of its warehouse facility which had materially increased the Company's funding costs; and (iii) as a result of the foregoing, Defendants had no reasonable basis for their revenues and earnings guidance for fiscal 2009.

On June 18, 2008, the Company issued a press release announcing its financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2009, the period ended May 31, 2008. The Company also announced that it was suspending its financial guidance for the rest of fiscal 2009. Upon this news, shares of the Company's stock fell $2 per share, or approximately 11%, to close at $16.34 per share, on heavy trading volume.
