NOTE 15—RELATED PARTY DISCLOSURE
Investment of Surplus Cash
Our Board has delegated authority to direct investment of our surplus cash to Edward S. Lampert, subject to
various limitations that have been or may be from time to time adopted by the Board of Directors and/or the Finance
Committee of the Board of Directors. Mr. Lampert is Chairman of our Board of Directors and its Finance
Committee and is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of ESL. Additionally, on February 1, 2013, Mr.
Lampert became our Chief Executive Officer, in addition to his role as Chairman of the Board. Neither Mr. Lampert
nor ESL will receive compensation for any such investment activities undertaken on our behalf, other than Mr.
Lampert's compensation as our Chief Executive Officer. ESL beneficially owned approximately 55% of our
outstanding common stock at March 11, 2013.
Further, to clarify the expectations that the Board of Directors has with respect to the investment of our surplus
cash, the Board has renounced, in accordance with Delaware law, any interest or expectancy of the Company
associated with any investment opportunities in securities that may come to the attention of Mr. Lampert or any
employee, officer, director or advisor to ESL and its affiliated investment entities (each, a “Covered Party”) who
also serves as an officer or director of the Company other than (a) investment opportunities that come to such
Covered Party’s attention directly and exclusively in such Covered Party’s capacity as a director, officer or employee
of the Company, (b) control investments in companies in the mass merchandising, retailing, commercial appliance
distribution, product protection agreements, residential and commercial product installation and repair services and
automotive repair and maintenance industries and (c) investment opportunities in companies or assets with a
significant role in our retailing business, including investment in real estate currently leased by the Company or in
suppliers for which the Company is a substantial customer representing over 10% of such companies’ revenues, but
excluding investments of ESL that were existing as of May 23, 2005.
