Our 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan and our Employee Stock Purchase Plan were approved by our shareholders. The three plans described below were not required to be approved by our shareholders.

 

   

2002 Stock Option Plan

Our Board of Directors originally approved the 2002 Stock Option Plan (the “2002 Plan”), formerly known as “Stock Up On Success, The Gap, Inc.’s Stock Option Bonus Program,” effective as of January 1, 1999. The 2002 Plan was intended to increase incentives and to encourage share ownership on the part of eligible non-officer regular employees of the Company and its affiliates by providing limited grants of nonqualified stock options to such employees. In May 2006, the 2002 Plan was discontinued for new grants following the approval of our amended and restated 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan by our shareholders at the 2006 Annual Meeting. Shares that were then available under the 2002 Plan transferred to the 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan. Any outstanding awards under the 2002 Plan remain subject to the terms and conditions under the 2002 Plan. A total of 12,966,510 awards remained outstanding under the 2002 Plan as of January 31, 2009.

 

   

Nonemployee Director Deferred Compensation Plan

The Board of Directors originally approved the Nonemployee Director Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Director Plan”) effective as of August 26, 1997; it was most recently amended and restated effective as of December 9, 2003. In response to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and proposed regulations issued thereunder, the Company suspended use of the Director Plan in January 2005 and then terminated it in September 2005. The Director Plan was intended to increase incentives and to encourage share ownership on the part of non-employee directors, to provide them with the opportunity to defer compensation on a pre-tax basis, and to further the growth and profitability of the Company. A total of 66,751 stock options remained outstanding under the Nonemployee Director Deferred Compensation Plan as of January 31, 2009.

 

   

UK Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Board of Directors approved the UK Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “UK Plan”) effective as of September 2000. The UK Plan is intended to enable eligible employees in the United Kingdom to acquire shares, thereby giving them a continuing stake in the Company. Under the UK Plan, all eligible employees may purchase shares at a price equal to the lower of the market value of a share on the first or last day of each six-month purchase period. “Market Value” generally means the closing price of a share on the New York Stock Exchange. We also provide each participant a match of one share for every seven shares purchased under the UK Plan. Participants generally must hold any matching shares received under the UK Plan for at least three years. Participants pay for their share purchases under the UK Plan through payroll deductions of between £10 to £125 per month, not to exceed the lesser of £750 per six-month purchase period or 10% of their eligible salary per tax year (as defined in the UK Plan). A total of 1,000,000 shares previously have been reserved for issuance under the UK Plan, of which 839,084 remain available as of January 31, 2009 for future issuance. (£ is the currency symbol for the United Kingdom pound).
