EXPLANATORY NOTE
Pursuant to Item 512(a)(3) of Regulation S-K,
this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the registration statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-170964) filed by America’s Car-Mart,
Inc., a Texas corporation (the “Corporation” or the “Registrant”), on December 3, 2010, is filed in order
to deregister securities remaining under such registration statement.
On December 7, 2007, the Corporation filed a
registration statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-147915) to register an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of common stock issuable
under the Corporation’s 2007 Stock Option Plan (the “2007 Plan”). On December 3, 2010, the Corporation
filed a registration statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-170964) to register an aggregate of 500,000 additional shares of common
stock issuable under the 2007 Plan. On June 10, 2015, the Corporation’s Board of Directors adopted, and on August
5, 2015, the Corporation’s stockholders approved the adoption of the Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”),
which amended and restated the 2007 Plan.
The terms of the Plan provide, among other things,
that the shares authorized for issuance under the Plan include all shares available for delivery since the establishment of the
2007 Plan and that if any shares are not delivered to a participant because the stock option award is forfeited, canceled or settled
in cash, the shares of common stock under such award will revert to and again become available for issuance under the Plan. As
of the date of this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1, there are an aggregate of 1,173,000 shares of common stock issuable pursuant
to awards granted under the 2007 Plan that are outstanding (such shares, the “Outstanding Award Shares”) and an aggregate
of 82,250 shares of common stock not subject to outstanding awards that are available for grant under the Plan that are registered
on the Corporation’s registration statements on Form S-8 (File Nos. 333-147915 and 333-170964) (such shares, the “Remaining
Shares”) (the “Outstanding Award Shares” and the “Remaining Shares” are collectively referred to
as the “Carried Forward Shares”).
This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 is being
filed to deregister all 500,000 shares of common stock registered on the Corporation’s registration statement on Form S-8
(File No. 333-170964), all of which are included in the Carried Forward Shares. The Corporation is concurrently filing
a separate post-effective amendment to its registration statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-147915) to deregister the remaining
Carried Forward Shares and a separate registration statement on Form S-8 to reflect that the Carried Forward Shares may be issued
under the Plan, to carry over the filing fees for the Carried Forward Shares, and to register an additional 300,000 shares of common
stock issuable under the Plan.
In accordance with the principles set forth
in Interpretation 89 under Section G of the Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations of the Division of Corporation
Finance of the Securities and Exchange Commission (July 1997) and Instruction E to the General Instructions to Form S-8, this Post-Effective
Amendment No. 1 is hereby filed (i) to reflect that the Carried Forward Shares may be issued under the Plan, and (ii) to carry
over the registration fees paid for all the Carried Forward Shares from the registration statements on Form S-8 (File Nos. 333-147915
and 333-170964), filed for the 2007 Plan, to the registration statement on Form S-8 filed for the Plan, which is being filed contemporaneously
with the filing of this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities
Act of 1933, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing
on Form S-8 and has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized,
