Notes to Table on Gary M. Bahler

 

(1)

 

 

 

The severance amount equals three times weekly salary multiplied by executive’s 28 years of service and would be payable six months following termination.

 

(2)

 

 

 

This amount is the total benefit payable under the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”). The payments would be made quarterly over a three-year period. The first two quarterly payments would be made six months following the executive’s termination date, with the remaining payments made quarterly during the remainder of the three-year period.

Benefit payable as of January 31, 2009 in a lump sum under the Foot Locker Excess Cash Balance Plan six months following executive’s termination date. No information is provided with respect to the benefit under the Foot Locker Retirement Plan because that plan is available generally to all salaried employees and does not discriminate in terms of scope, terms, or operation in favor of the executive officers.

 

(4)

 

 

 

Mr. Bahler would be entitled under the SERP to the continuation of medical and dental insurance benefits following termination. The benefits would be substantially the same as those benefits to which senior executives are entitled under Foot Locker’s medical and dental plans for active employees. Mr. Bahler would be required to pay the insurance premium applicable to actively employed senior executives, including any subsequent increases in the premiums. The amount shown in the table represents the amount accrued by the Company for Mr. Bahler’s post-termination medical and dental benefits.

 

(5)

 

 

 

The fair market value of a share of the Company’s stock on January 31, 2009 was less than the exercise price of each of the unvested options that would be accelerated, so the intrinsic value of the option on that date was $0.

 

(6)

 

 

 

The severance amount equals three times the executive’s annual salary.

 

(7)

 

 

 

This amount represents the value of 50,000 shares of restricted stock that would vest on termination. The shares were valued at $7.36.

 

(8)

 

 

 

If the payments or benefits received by the executive following a Change in Control are subject to the excise tax under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue, then the Company would automatically reduce Mr. Bahler’s payments and benefits to an amount equal to $1 less than the amount that would subject him to the excise tax, as long as the reduced amount would result in a greater benefit to him compared to the unreduced amount on a net after-tax basis.

 

(9)

 

 

 

The Compensation and Management Resources Committee may, but is not obligated to, accelerate the vesting of some or all of executive’s restricted stock. The number shown in the table assumes approval of the accelerated vesting of 50,000 shares of restricted stock, valued at $7.36.

 

(10)

 

 

 

SERP benefit payable in a lump sum following the determination of disability or the date of death.
