NOTE 15. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

We generally use a competitive bidding process for construction of new stores, expansions, relocations and major remodels (major store projects). In addition, we utilize a construction industry standard stipulated sum, non-exclusive agreement with our general contractors. Fisher Development, Inc. (“FDI”), a company that is wholly owned by the brother of Donald G. Fisher, Founder and Chairman Emeritus, and the brother’s immediate family, is one of our qualified general contractors. The stipulated sum agreement sets forth the terms under which our

general contractors, including FDI, may act in connection with our construction activities. We paid to FDI $0.3 million, $2 million, and $21 million in fiscal 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively. There was $0.1 million due to FDI at February 2, 2008, and no amounts due at February 3, 2007 on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Audit and Finance Committee of the Board reviews this relationship periodically.

In October 2001, the Audit and Finance Committee of the Board reviewed and approved the terms of agreements to lease to Doris F. Fisher, Director, and Donald G. Fisher a total of approximately 26,000 square feet of space in our One Harrison and Two Folsom San Francisco headquarter locations to display portions of their personal art collection. The agreements provide for base rent ranging from $30.00 to $42.35 per square foot per year over a 15-year term. Our Consolidated Statements of Earnings include rental income from this leased space of $1 million, $0.9 million, and $0.9 million for fiscal 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively. We believe that these rental rates were at least competitive when the agreements were entered into. The agreements also provide us and our employees significant benefits, including use of the space on a regular basis for corporate functions at no charge.

As discussed in Note 8, in connection with our share repurchase program, we entered into purchase agreements with individual members of the Fisher family whose ownership represented approximately 17 percent of the Company’s outstanding shares at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2007. Multiple Fisher family members and controlled entities owned approximately 34 percent of our outstanding shares at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2007. The shares were purchased each month at the same weighted-average market price that we paid for share repurchases in the open market. During fiscal 2007, we repurchased approximately 13 million shares of our common stock for a total cost of $249 million from the Fisher family.

In February 2008, in connection with the authorization of the $1 billion share repurchase program, we entered into agreements with individual members of the Fisher family to repurchase shares. The Company expects that about $158 million (approximately 16 percent) of the $1 billion share repurchase program will be purchased from these Fisher family members.

We are a party to a relocation services agreement with two independent relocation companies (collectively referred to as the “Relocation Company”) pursuant to which eligible employees receive certain relocation assistance and related services. In addition to assisting employees in finding appropriate housing in the San Francisco Bay Area, the agreement provides for the Relocation Company to purchase a transferring employee’s former residence at an appraised value or price offered by a third party buyer. Following execution of a purchase agreement between the Relocation Company and the transferring employee, the Relocation Company pays to the transferring employee an amount equal to all or part of the employee’s equity in the residence. The funds to make these payments are provided by us and are repaid to us by the Relocation Company from the proceeds of sale of the residence to a third party buyer, if available. The Relocation Company receives from us a minimal fee for services provided to each employee and reimbursement for any direct costs incurred in connection with the purchase of an employee’s home, including any difference in the purchase price paid by the Relocation Company to the employee and the amount received by the Relocation Company upon sale of the residence to a third party buyer. Any gain received by the Relocation Company on the sale of a residence to a third party buyer is credited toward the direct costs payable by us. In connection with the relocation of our employees, we paid to the relocation companies approximately $4.1 million, $3.1 million and $2.1 million during fiscals 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
