ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES All expenses incurred in administration of the Plan are paid by Genesco Inc. (the "Company") and are excluded from these financial statements. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of Plan assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of changes in Plan equity during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material. NOTE 2 THE PLAN BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY The following description of the Plan provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions. The Plan became effective October 1, 1995 to advance the interests of the Company and its shareholders by attracting and retaining qualified employees and by encouraging them to identify with shareholder interests through the acquisition of shares of the Company's common stock. ELIGIBILITY Each employee whose total annual base salary is less than $100,000 and whose customary employment is greater that 20 hours per week and greater than five months per year is eligible to participate in the Plan if the employee has been employed by the Company for at least six months prior to the grant date. The Plan excludes statutory insiders and five percent shareholders. CONTRIBUTIONS Contributions to the Plan are solely from participating employees of the Company who, through after-tax payroll deductions, may use their contributions to purchase common stock of the Company at the end of a one-year option period. The maximum number of shares available to any participant is the lesser of 2,000 a year or that number of shares equal to $10,000 divided by the closing market price of the common stock on the grant date or the exercise date. The maximum contribution is the lesser of $8,500 a year or 15% of the participant's base pay as of October 1. The minimum contribution is $250 per participant per year. Shares will be purchased September 30 of the year following the October 1 grant date with the initial grant date being October 1, 1995. -6- GENESCO EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN Notes to Financial Statements NOTE 2 THE PLAN, CONTINUED An option enables the participant to purchase shares of the Company's common stock at the lesser of 85% of the market value on the grant date or the exercise date. Options are to be granted each year through and including October 1, 2004, unless the board of directors, at its discretion, determines in advance that no options are to be granted. The cumulative number of shares which may be purchased under the Plan is 1,000,000. The options granted and rights thereto may not be sold, assigned, pledged or otherwise transferred. PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS Periodically throughout the year, each participant is provided with statements reflecting the value of their account. Participant contributions are held by the Company, which has an unsecured obligation to the Plan. At the exercise date, the Company issues stock that is transferred to a brokerage firm and allocated among the participants according to the number of options exercised by each participant. VESTING Participants are 100% vested in the value of their account and may withdraw from the Plan at any time except during the period September 15 through September 30 which is the time that preparations are made for the issuance of the stock each year. If a participant is terminated for any reason other than retirement, disability or death, the participant's involvement in the Plan and any unexercised options automatically terminate, and the participant will receive the account balance in cash. TERMINATION OF THE PLAN The Company reserves the right to terminate the Plan at any time. In the event of Plan termination, the balance of each participant's account shall be paid in cash as soon as is reasonably practical. PLAN ADMINISTRATOR The Plan is to be administered by the compensation committee of the board of directors or another designee of the board of directors. INCOME TAX STATUS The Plan is intended to qualify as an Employee Stock Purchase Plan within the meaning of Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 ("the Code"), as amended. Issuance of shares under this Plan are not intended to result in taxable income to participants in the Plan based on provisions of the Code. Accordingly, no income will result for federal income tax purposes when an option is granted or exercised; however, income may result upon disposition of the stock. Management believes that the Plan is operating in compliance with the Code and therefore, no provision for income taxes has been reflected in the accompanying financial statements. -7- GENESCO EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN Notes to Financial Statements NOTE 3 OPTIONS TO PURCHASE COMPANY STOCK

At the beginning of each option period, the Company estimates the number of options to be granted based on participant contributions and the current stock price. At the end of the option period, the Company grants options to each plan participant. In the event plan contributions, withdrawals or stock price are different than originally estimated, additional or fewer options may be granted at the end of the option period (exercise date). -8- GENESCO EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN Notes to Financial Statements NOTE 3 OPTIONS TO PURCHASE COMPANY STOCK, CONTINUED
