which included a 53rd week.
(3) The amounts in this column reflect the aggregate grant date fair value of the restricted stock awards granted
under the 2005 LTIP and 2012 LTIP to our named executive officers in the fiscal years reported as computed
in accordance with ASC 718, excluding the effect of any estimated forfeiture. The aggregate grant date fair

(6) For fiscal 2012, the amounts in this column include the following compensation for our named executive
officers, as more fully described in the table included with this footnote:
i. The reimbursement of taxes related to our payment of healthcare costs covered by the Executive Benefit
Plan and long-term disability insurance premiums;
ii. Big Lots matching contributions made pursuant to the Savings Plan and the Supplemental Savings
Plan, both of which are described in the narrative disclosure accompanying the Nonqualified Deferred
Compensation table below;
iii. Big Lots paid healthcare costs covered by the Executive Benefit Plan, which is described in the
“Overview of our Executive Compensation Program – Elements of In-Service Compensation – Personal
Benefits/Perquisites” section of the CD&A;
iv. Big Lots paid premiums for life insurance, which is generally available to all full-time employees;
v. Big Lots paid premiums for long-term disability insurance, which is described in the “Overview of
our Executive Compensation Program – Elements of In-Service Compensation – Personal Benefits/

vi. The cost to Big Lots associated with the use of an automobile or the receipt of a cash allowance in lieu
of an automobile; and
vii. The aggregate incremental cost to Big Lots associated with Mr. Fishman’s non-business use of
corporate aircraft.

maintenance costs incurred by us during the prior two years and dividing those costs by the number of hours flown
during that same period. Due to the fact that the corporate aircraft are used primarily for business travel, fixed
costs which do not change based on usage, such as pilot salaries, hangar fees, management fees, purchase costs,
depreciation and capitalized improvements to the aircraft, are excluded. We did not reimburse or otherwise “gross-
