(2) On November 4, 2015, our Board of Directors authorized a $150 million common stock share
repurchase program. The shares may be purchased from time to time over a two year period,
subject to general business and market conditions and other investment opportunities, through open
market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or other means, including through Rule 10b5-1
trading plans. The purchase program may be commenced, suspended or discontinued at any time.
Performance Graph
The graph set forth below compares the cumulative total stockholder return on our common stock
between August 1, 2013 (the date our stock began trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market) and
January 3, 2016, with the cumulative total return of (i) the Nasdaq Composite Index and (ii) the S&P Food
Retail Index, over the same period.
The comparison assumes that $100.00 was invested in our common stock, the Nasdaq Composite
Index and the S&P Food Retail Index, and assumes reinvestment of dividends, if any. The graph
assumes the initial value of our common stock on August 1, 2013 was the closing sale price on that day
of $40.11 per share and not the initial offering price to the public of $18.00 per share. The performance
shown on the graph below is based on historical results and is not intended to suggest future
performance.
This performance graph shall not be deemed “soliciting material” or to be “filed” with the SEC for
purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act or otherwise subject to the liabilities under that section, and
shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing of Sprouts Farmers Market, Inc. under
the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.
