5.04 — Temporary Suspension of Trading Under Registrant’s Employee Benefit Plan.
On June 30 2006, Office Depot, Inc. (the “Company”) will suspend trading of its common stock under
the Office Depot, Inc. Common Stock Fund (the “Stock Fund”) under the Company’s 401(k) Plan. After
this time participants in the Stock Fund will not be able to make any transactions involving the
Stock Fund, including exchanges, withdrawals, loan requests, and distributions. The suspension will
begin June 30, 2006 at 1:00 p.m. eastern standard time and is expected to end during the week
beginning July 16, 2006 (the “Suspension Period”).
The Stock Fund is being removed as an investment option under the Office Depot, Inc. Retirement
Savings Plan (the “Plan”) to promote diversification in the Plan by keeping participants from
having an undue concentration of the Company’s common stock in their retirement plan. During the
Suspension Period and for a period of two years thereafter, any interested person may obtain,
without charge, the actual beginning and ending dates for which trading was suspended by contacting
The Vanguard Group at the address below.
For more information regarding the Suspension Period or the liquidation process contact The
