Investor Presentation February 2009

Safe Harbor Statement The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the "Act") provides protection from liability in private lawsuits for "forward-looking" statements made by public companies under certain circumstances, provided that the public company discloses with specificity the risk factors that may impact its future results. We want to take advantage of the "safe harbor" provisions of the Act. Certain statements made during this presentation are 'forward-looking' statements under the Act. Except for historical financial and business performance information, statements made during this presentation should be considered 'forward-looking' as referred to in the Act. Much of the information that looks towards future performance of our company is based on various factors and important assumptions about future events that may or may not actually come true. As a result, our operations and financial results in the future could differ materially and substantially from those we have discussed in the forward-looking statements made during this presentation. Certain risks and uncertainties are detailed from time to time in our filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). You are strongly urged to review all such filings for a more detailed discussion of such risks and uncertainties. During portions of today's presentation, we may refer to results which are not GAAP numbers. A reconciliation of non-GAAP numbers to GAAP results is available on our web site at www.investor.officedepot.com.
