This excerpt taken from the FL DEF 14A filed Apr 9, 2009. Summary While we reported a net loss on a GAAP basis of $79 million for 2008, our income from continuing operations, before non-cash impairment charges and store closing expenses, was $106 million, a 71 percent improvement over the comparable income from continuing operations in 2007. (Income from continuing operations before non-cash impairment charges and store closing expenses is a non-GAAP financial measure. Our Form 10-K for the 2008 fiscal year, which is available on our website www.footlocker-inc.com, contains a schedule reconciling these amounts with our GAAP income.) This performance resulted in the payment of annual bonuses to the named executive officers discussed below. We also took certain other actions with regard to 2008 compensation for our named executive officers.

invested-capital performance in 2008 compared to performance targets established by the Compensation and Management Resources Committee for that year.
We paid an annual bonus to Mr. Halls of $312,700, or 44 percent of base salary, compared to a target of 75 percent of base salary. This pay-out was made at a level between threshold and target bonus, and was the result of the divisional profit of the divisions for which Mr. Halls had responsibility in 2008
compared to performance targets established by the Compensation Committee. Mr. Minas employment with the Company terminated prior to the end of 2008, and he was therefore not eligible to receive an annual bonus payment.
As the Company did not achieve the performance targets established by the Compensation Committee in 2006 under the Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan for the 2006-2008 performance period, we did not pay long-term bonuses to any of our named executive officers. For 2008, as we did in 2007, we provided for an increased target pay-out under the annual bonus plan for all of the named executive officers, other than the Chief Executive Officer, of 75 percent of base salary. The Chief Executive Officers target pay-out remained 125 percent of base salary.
We made stock option awards to five of the named executive officers100,000 shares to the Chief Executive Officer, and 25,000 shares to each of the PresidentInternational and the three senior vice presidents. These options were priced at fair market value on the date of grant ($11.66 per share). With regard
to all of the executive officers other than Mr. Serra, these options vest in three equal installments on the first, second, and third anniversary of the grant date, subject to continued employment with us through each date. The options granted to Mr. Serra vest in two equal installments on the first anniversary of
the grant date and on January 30, 2010, the final day of the term of his current employment contract, provided he continues to be employed by us on that date. In light of the 2007 performance of the U.S. retail store operations, for which he had responsibility, we did not make a stock option grant to Mr. Mina
in 2008.
We made restricted stock awards to five of the named executive officers50,000 shares to the Chief Executive Officer; 20,000 shares to the PresidentInternational; and 10,000 shares to each of the senior vice presidents. With regard to all of the named executive officers other than Mr. Serra, the restrictions on
these shares lapse if the executive continues to be employed by us for three years from the date of grant. The restrictions on Mr. Serras shares lapse on January 30, 2010, the final day of the term of his current employment contract, provided he continues to be employed by us on that date. We did not make a
restricted stock grant to Mr. Mina in 2008. This excerpt taken from the FL DEF 14A filed Apr 10, 2008. Summary In 2007, we took the following actions with regard to compensation for our named executive officers:
