Certain Officers.

(e)(1)    Establishment of Performance Goals.

(i)     On March 27, 2019, the Compensation and Management Resources Committee (the “Compensation Committee”) of the Board of Directors of Foot Locker, Inc. (the “Company”) established the performance goals for the 2019 fiscal year under the Foot LockerExecutive Incentive CashCompensation Plan (the “CashIncentive Plan”). The goals for the executives are based (a) 80% on the Company’s pre-tax income for Mr. Johnson, Ms. Peters, and Mr. Verma, and 20% for Messrs. Jacobs and Kimble, (b) 60% on division profit for Messrs. Jacobs and Kimble, and (c) 20% on customer connected objectives for each of the executives. Under the CashIncentive Plan, the amount that would be paid to the executives if the performance goals are met is based on a percentage of their annual base salaries earned for the plan year. The Compensation Committee established individual target awards under this plan for the executives who will be included as named executive officers (“NEOs”) in the Company’s 2019 proxy statement. The percentage of annual base salary payable at threshold, target, and maximum for each executive is shown in the table below.

(ii)On March 27, 2019, the Compensation Committee established long-term incentive compensation performance goals for the 2019-20 performance period based on a combination of the Company’s two-year average after-tax income and return-on-invested capital. Provided the performance goals are achieved, 50% of the executives’ long-term awards would be payable in restricted stock units (“RSUs”) under the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Stock Incentive Plan”). Earned payouts are subject to a time-based one-year vesting period following the end of the performance period before payout to the executives. Individual long-term target awards are expressed as a percentage of the executive’s annual base salary as approved by the Compensation Committee on March 27, 2019. The Compensation Committee established individual long-term target awards for the NEOs. The percentages shown in the table below represent the percent of the 2019 annual base salary that would be paid to the NEOs, in RSUs as described above, if the established goals are achieved.

The threshold, target, and maximum number of RSUs for each executive were calculated on March 27, 2019 on the basis of that day’s closing stock price. The actual number of RSUs awarded will be based on the Company’s performance compared to targets. The value of the RSUs received by an executive will depend upon the Company’s stock price on the payment date.

(2)RSU Awards. On March 27, 2019, the Compensation Committee granted time-based RSU awards under the Stock Incentive Plan to each of the NEOs. These awards will vest on March 27, 2022, provided the NEO remains employed by the Company until the vesting date. No dividends will be paid or accrued on these awards.

(3)Stock Option Awards. On March 27, 2019, the Compensation Committee granted stock options under the Stock Incentive Plan to each of the NEOs. The options will vest in three equal annual installments beginning on March 27, 2020, provided the executive remains employed by the Company on the relevant vesting dates. The options were granted at an exercise price of $58.94 per share, which was 50% of the fair market value (closing price) of a share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, on the date of grant.

(4)Annual Base Salaries. On March 27, 2019, the Compensation Committee approved increases in the annual base salaries of the NEOs, effective as of May 1, 2019. Given the May 1, 2019 effective date, the annual base salary shown in the table below may be higher than the actual salary earned by the executive for the year. The actual salary earned for the year is the amount that will be reflected in the Summary Compensation Table in the Company’s proxy statement for the relevant year.
