<p style="margin-top: 4px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2">The Home Depot, Inc. 2005 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan ("2005 Plan") and The Home Depot, Inc. 1997 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan ("1997 Plan" and collectively with the 2005 Plan, the "Plans") provide that incentive and non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, performance shares, performance units and deferred shares may be issued to selected associates, officers and directors of the Company. Under the 2005 Plan, the maximum number of shares of the Company's common stock authorized for issuance is <font class="_mt">255</font> million shares, with any award other than a stock option reducing the number of shares available for issuance by <font class="_mt">2.11</font> shares. As of January 30, 2011, there were <font class="_mt">175</font> million shares available for future grants under the 2005 Plan. No additional equity awards could be issued from the 1997 Plan after the adoption of the 2005 Plan on May 26, 2005. </font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2">Under the terms of the Plans, incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options must have an exercise price at or above the fair market value of the Company's stock on the date of the grant. Typically, incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options vest at the rate of <font class="_mt">25</font>% per year commencing on the first or second anniversary date of the grant and expire on the tenth anniversary date of the grant. Certain of the non-qualified stock options also include performance options which vest on the later of the first anniversary date of the grant and the date the closing price of the Company's common stock has been <font class="_mt">25</font>% greater than the exercise price of the options for 30 consecutive trading days. Additionally, certain stock options may become non-forfeitable upon age 60, provided the associate has had five years of continuous service. The Company recognized $<font class="_mt">20</font> million, $<font class="_mt">19</font> million and $<font class="_mt">47</font> million of stock-based compensation expense in fiscal 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively, related to stock options. </font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2">Restrictions on the restricted stock issued under the Plans generally lapse according to one of the following schedules: (1) the restrictions on the restricted stock lapse over various periods up to five years, (2) the restrictions on <font class="_mt">25</font>% of the restricted stock lapse upon the third and sixth anniversaries of the date of issuance with the remaining <font class="_mt">50</font>% of the restricted stock lapsing upon the associate's attainment of age 62, or (3) the restrictions on <font class="_mt">25</font>% of the restricted stock lapse upon the third and sixth anniversaries of the date of issuance with the remaining <font class="_mt">50</font>% of the restricted stock lapsing upon the earlier of the associate's attainment of age 60 or the tenth anniversary date. The Company has also granted performance shares under the Plans, the payout of which is dependent on either (1) the Company's total shareholder return percentile ranking compared to the performance of individual companies included in the S&P 500 index at the end of the three-year performance cycle, or (2) the Company's performance against target average return on invested capital and operating profit over a three-year performance cycle. Additionally, certain awards may become non-forfeitable upon the attainment of age 60, provided the associate has had five years of continuous service. The fair value of the restricted stock and performance shares is expensed over the period during which the restrictions lapse. The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock and performance shares of $<font class="_mt">167</font> million, $<font class="_mt">158</font> million and $<font class="_mt">109</font> million in fiscal 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. </font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2">In fiscal 2010, 2009 and 2008, there were an aggregate of <font class="_mt">479</font> thousand, <font class="_mt">666</font> thousand and <font class="_mt">641</font> thousand deferred shares, respectively, granted under the Plans. For associates, each deferred share entitles the individual to one share of common stock to be received up to five years after the grant date of the deferred shares, subject to certain deferral rights of the associate. Additionally, certain awards may become non-forfeitable upon age 60, provided the associate has had five years of continuous service. The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense related to deferred shares of $<font class="_mt">14</font> million, $<font class="_mt">14</font> million and $<font class="_mt">9</font> million in fiscal 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. </font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2">As of January 30, 2011, there were <font class="_mt">2</font> million non-qualified stock options outstanding under non-qualified stock option plans that are not part of the Plans. </font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2">The Company maintains two Employee Stock Purchase Plans ("ESPPs") (U.S. and non-U.S. plans). The plan for U.S. associates is a tax-qualified plan under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. The non-U.S. plan is not a Section 423 plan. As of January 30, 2011, there were <font class="_mt">11</font> million shares available under the plan for U.S associates and <font class="_mt">20</font> million shares available under the non-U.S. plan. The purchase price of shares under the ESPPs is equal to <font class="_mt">85</font>% of the stock's fair market value on the last day of the purchase period, which is a six-month period ending on December 31 and June 30 of each year. During fiscal 2010, there were <font class="_mt">3</font> million shares purchased under the ESPPs at an average price of $<font class="_mt">26.50</font>. Under the outstanding ESPPs as of January 30, 2011, employees have contributed $<font class="_mt">7</font> million to purchase shares at <font class="_mt">85</font>% of the stock's fair market value on the last day (June 30, 2011) of the purchase period. The Company recognized $<font class="_mt">13</font> million, $<font class="_mt">10</font> million and $<font class="_mt">11</font> million of stock-based compensation expense in fiscal 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively, related to the ESPPs. </font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2">In total, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense, including the expense of stock options, ESPPs, restricted stock, performance shares and deferred shares, of $<font class="_mt">214</font> million, $<font class="_mt">201</font> million and $<font class="_mt">176</font> million, in fiscal 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. </font></p>
