How will the votes be counted?

Votes will be counted and certified by representatives of our transfer agent, BNY Mellon Shareowner Services, as inspectors of election. The inspectors of election are independent and are not employees of Foot Locker.

We do not count abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, in determining the votes cast for any proposal. Votes withheld for the election of one or more of the nominees for director will not be counted as votes cast for them.

Broker non-votes occur when brokers or other entities holding shares for an owner in street name do not receive voting instructions from the owner on non-routine matters and, consequently, have no discretion to vote on those matters. If a proposal is routine under the rules of The New York Stock Exchange, then the brokers or other entities may vote the shares held by them even though they have not received instructions from the owner.

The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws do not contain any provisions on the effect of abstentions or broker non-votes.
