Will my vote be confidential?
Our policy is to provide our shareholders with privacy in voting. All proxy cards, voting
instructions, ballots and voting tabulations identifying shareholders are held permanently confidential
from the Company, except:
– as necessary to meet any applicable legal requirements,
– when disclosure is expressly requested by a shareholder or where a shareholder writes a
comment on a proxy card,
– in a contested proxy solicitation, and
– to allow independent inspectors of election to tabulate and certify the vote.
Are shares held in employee plans included on the proxy card?
If you hold shares of Foot Locker Common Stock through the Foot Locker 401(k) Plan or the Foot
Locker Puerto Rico 1165(e) Plan, the enclosed proxy card also shows the number of shares allocated to
your plan account. Your proxy card will serve as a voting instruction card for the trustees of the plans,
who will vote the shares. The trustees will vote only those shares for which voting instructions have
been given. To allow sufficient time for voting by the trustees of these plans, your voting instructions
must be received by May 19, 2006.
How do I vote my shares?
You may vote using any of the following methods:
•Vote by Telephone
If you are located within the United States or Canada, you can vote your shares by telephone by
calling the toll-free telephone number on your proxy card. Telephone voting is available 24 hours a day
and will be accessible until 9:00 A.M. on May 24, 2006. The voice prompts allow you to vote your shares
and confirm that your instructions have been properly recorded. Our telephone voting procedures are
designed to authenticate shareholders by using individual control numbers. If you vote by telephone,
you do NOT need to return your proxy card. If you are an owner in street name, please follow the
instructions that accompany your proxy materials.
•Vote by Internet
You can also choose to vote via the Internet. The web site for Internet voting is listed on your
proxy card. Internet voting is available 24 hours a day and will be accessible until 9:00 A.M. on May 24,
2006. As with telephone voting, you will be given the opportunity to confirm that your instructions have
been properly recorded. If you vote via the Internet, you do NOT need to return your proxy card. If
you are an owner in street name, please follow the instructions that accompany your proxy materials.
•Vote by Mail
If you choose to vote by mail, simply mark your proxy, date and sign it, and return it in the
postage-paid envelope provided.
•Voting at the Annual Meeting
You may also vote by ballot at the annual meeting if you decide to attend in person. If your shares
are held in the name of a bank, broker or other holder of record, you must obtain a proxy, executed in
your favor, from the holder of record to be able to vote at the meeting.
All shares that have been properly voted and not revoked will be voted at the annual meeting. If
you sign and return your proxy card but do not give voting instructions, the shares represented by that
proxy card will be voted as recommended by the Board of Directors.
•Voting on Other Matters
If any other matters are properly presented at the annual meeting for consideration, the persons
named in the proxy will have the discretion to vote on those matters for you. At the date this proxy
statement went to press, we did not know of any other matter to be raised at the annual meeting.
