Based on management’s evaluation which included the participation of the Companys Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), and Chief Financial Officer
(“CFO”), as of December 28, 2013, the Companys CEO and CFO concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-
15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Act”)), were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information
required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that the Company files or submits under the Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within
the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Companys management, including the
CEO and CFO, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

There have been no changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Companys most recent fiscal quarter that
have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Management of Office Depot is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f)
under the Act. Our Internal Control structure is designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and the Board of Directors regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements.
Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of
effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of
compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In evaluating our Internal Control, we used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in
Internal Control Integrated Framework (2013). Based on our assessment, management has concluded that the Companys internal control over financial
reporting was effective as of December 27, 2014.
Our internal control over financial reporting as of December 27, 2014, has been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public
accounting firm, as stated in their report provided below.
