ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT

On June 3, 2013 Office Depot, Inc. (the “Company”) together with its wholly-owned subsidiary Office Depot Delaware Overseas Finance No.1, LLC (the “ODP Sub”) entered into a Stock Purchase and Transaction Agreement (the “Agreement”) to sell the 50% joint venture interests (consisting of 2,500 Series A-I Shares, and 27,749,159 Series A-II Shares) of Office Depot de México, S.A. de C.V. (“ODM”) owned by ODP Sub, to its joint venture partner, Grupo Gigante S.A.B. de C.V. (“Gigante”), and its subsidiary, Hospitalidad y Servicios Especializados Gigante, S.A. de C.V. (“Gigante Sub”), for an aggregate purchase price of Eight Billion Seven Hundred Seventy-Seven Million Three Hundred Sixty Thousand Mexican Pesos (MXN$8,777,360,000.00) (or approximately US$690 million) (the “Purchase Price”).

The Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of each party. The Agreement also includes a covenant pursuant to which the Company and ODP Sub agree that for the period from the closing of the transaction contemplated by the Agreement (the “Closing”) until (i) the closing of the previously announced merger of equals with OfficeMax Incorporated (the “OfficeMax Transaction”), or (ii) if the merger agreement related to the OfficeMax Transaction is terminated and the OfficeMax Transaction does not close, the three (3) year anniversary of the Closing, not to engage in the owning and operating of retail stores (which includes the development, design, manufacture sale or promotion for sale of any product currently developed, designed, manufactured, sold or promoted for sale by ODM in certain countries in Latin America (“the Restricted Countries”)), as conducted by ODM as of the date hereof (the “Business”) in the Restricted Countries. The Company further agrees that if the OfficeMax Transaction closes, for three (3) years after the Closing, not to engage or to cause the resulting combined company to engage in the Business in any Restricted Country in which OfficeMax Incorporated does not have operations as of the Closing.

Gigante has obtained debt financing commitments for the transactions contemplated by the Agreement (the “Debt Financing”), the aggregate proceeds of which will be sufficient for Gigante and Gigante Sub to pay the Purchase Price and all related fees and expenses. Each of Credit Suisse AG and BBVA Bancomer, S.A. and certain of their affiliates (collectively, the “Lenders”) have committed to provide Debt Financing for the transaction, consisting of Mexican peso-denominated senior secured term loans and U.S.dollar denominated senior secured term loans, each on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in a commitment letter dated as of May 31, 2013 (the “Debt Commitment Letter”). The obligations of the Lenders to provide Debt Financing under the Debt Commitment Letter are subject to a number of customary conditions, including, without limitation, the absence of a material adverse effect on the business of ODM and execution and delivery by the borrowers and the guarantors of definitive documentation consistent with the Debt Commitment Letter and the documentation standards specified therein. Gigante has also agreed that in the event the financing arrangements currently contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter become unavailable, Gigante shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain alternative financing arrangements on comparable terms available from major international financing institutions to borrowers with comparable credit ratings to Gigante (after giving pro forma effect to the acquisition of ODM) (the “Alternative Debt Financing”).

The Agreement contains termination rights for each of the Company and Gigante, including the right of either party to terminate if the transactions contemplated by the Agreement have not been completed by September 1, 2013 (the “Outside Date”). The Agreement also provides that Gigante will pay ODP Sub a termination fee of Four Hundred Thirty-Eight Million Eight Hundred Sixty Eight Thousand Mexican Pesos ($438,868,000.00) (or approximately US$34 million) in cash (the “Termination Fee”) as liquidated damages if the Agreement is terminated under certain circumstances because (i) Gigante fails to obtain

2

the proceeds of its Debt Financing or Alternative Debt Financing by the Outside Date, (ii) Gigante fails to obtain shareholder approval either (x) within three (3) days of a duly called meeting of the shareholders of Gigante or (y) by July 18, 2013, (iii) Gigante fails to complete the transaction or (iv) Gigante or Gigante Sub otherwise breaches their representations, warranties or obligations under the Agreement such that conditions to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement cannot be satisfied. The Agreement provides that ODP Sub will pay Gigante an amount equal to the Termination Fee if the Agreement is terminated under certain circumstances because (1) ODP Sub fails to complete the transaction or (2) the Company or ODP Sub otherwise breach their representations, warranties or obligations under the Agreement such that conditions to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement cannot be satisfied. If a Termination Fee is paid, such payment will be the sole and exclusive remedy of the terminating party in relation to the Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.

In connection with the Agreement, the Company and ODM agreed to enter into a brand license agreement (the “License Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company will provide to ODM (i) an exclusive license, to use certain intellectual property of the Company, including the Office Depot trademark, royalty free and for no additional consideration, within Mexico and certain other countries in Latin America (the “Territory”) for an initial period of fifteen (15) years, renewing automatically for successive fifteen (15) year terms, unless earlier terminated (the “BrandMarks”) and (ii) an exclusive license to use certain other trademarks of the Company within the Territory for three (3) years, with such license becoming non-exclusive after expiration of the three (3) year period. ODM and its authorized sublicensees must comply with certain quality control requirements relating to the quality of the goods and services offered and the way in which the licensed marks are used.

The closing of the transaction, is conditioned on receiving Mexican regulatory approval and approval of the shareholders of Gigante, which the Company believes will be secured within 30 days. After the transaction closes, Gigante and Gigante Sub will own 100% of ODM.

OFFICE DEPOT ANNOUNCES SALE OF JOINT VENTURE STAKE IN OFFICE DEPOT DE MEXICO TO GRUPO GIGANTE

Sale of its 50 Percent Stake for Approximately $690 Million

Represents Significant Value for Shareholders

Boca Raton, Fla., June 4, 2013 — Office Depot, Inc. (NYSE: ODP), a leading global provider of office supplies and services, today announced that it has reached a definitive agreement to sell its 50% stake in Latin American Joint Venture Office Depot de Mexico S.A. de C.V. to Grupo Gigante, S.A.B. de C.V. (GIGANTE.MX) for the Mexican Peso amount of 8,777.36 million in cash.

The deal is conditional on receiving Mexican regulatory approval and Grupo Gigante S.A.B. de C.V. shareholder approval which Office Depot believes will be secured within 30 days. After the transaction closes, Grupo Gigante, S.A.B. de C.V. and its affiliates will have 100% ownership of Office Depot de Mexico.

In accordance with the terms of its planned merger agreement with OfficeMax, announced on February 20, 2013, Office Depot obtained the required consent from OfficeMax to proceed with the sale.

“Grupo Gigante has been a wonderful partner in Mexico for almost 20 years,” said Steve Schmidt, President of International for Office Depot. “Over the past year, we have been actively exploring with them ways to illuminate the value of this business through a potential IPO. Through the process, they expressed a desire to own the business outright that culminated in the sale announced today.”

“We believe that this transaction represents a very attractive value for our shareholders,” said Mike Newman, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer for Office Depot. “We expect to use the estimated $550 million in net after-tax proceeds from the sale to redeem 50% of the Company’s convertible preferred shares held by BC Partners, Inc. and its affiliates upon receiving shareholder approval of the planned merger with OfficeMax, as well as to redeem the $150 million of maturing 6.25% bonds due in August 2013. Importantly, this transaction will significantly enhance the liquidity position of the combined Company following the planned merger.”

Office Depot de Mexico, founded in 1994 as a joint partnership between Office Depot and Grupo Gigante, has more than 248 stores throughout Mexico and Central America and over $1.1 billion in annual sales. Office Depot accounts for its investment in Office Depot de Mexico using the equity method and the 50% share of Office Depot de Mexico’s net income is presented in the Company’s “Miscellaneous income, net” line in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The acquired stores will maintain the Office Depot brand following the closing of the transaction.

Office Depot’s exclusive financial advisor for the transaction was BofA Merrill Lynch.

Grupo Gigante has a 50-year history of expanding its business through the acquisition of commercial chains and the creation of strategic alliances, the incorporation of different formats and even entering the fields of Central and South America. Aside from Office Depot stores, the company currently runs The Home Store, Panda Express, Gigante Grupo Inmobiliario, Restaurantes Toks, PetCo, Cup Stop and Align Pro in Mexico.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

1. Adjustment for the Proposed Sale of Interest in Office Depot de México

(a) Reflects the receipt of an estimated $547 million in net after tax cash proceeds from the proposed sale of the Office Depot equity interest in Office Depot de México.

(b) Reflects the proposed sale of Office Depot’s equity interest in Office Depot de México. The proposed sale is considered probable due to entry into a definitive agreement with respect to such sale and committed financing. The balance sheet impact assumes proceeds of $693 million, removal of the investment in Office Depot de Mexico ($261.3 million), removal of related foreign currency translation adjustments ($25.5 million), deferred tax effects ($7.2 million, net), tax-related equity impact ($5.2 million), settlement of transaction fees ($6 million), anticipated cash tax consequences of the sale ($139.6 million) and repatriation of proceeds to the U.S. parent company ($547.4 million). Further, following the proposed sale of Office Depot’s equity interest in Office Depot de México and remitting by dividend the net after tax cash proceeds to the U.S. parent company, the related reporting unit is expected to have a residual fair value, determined using a combination of discounted cash flow and market based information, below its carrying value such that goodwill remaining in the reporting unit ($44.8 million) will be fully impaired. The credit to accumulated deficit includes the net book gain of $262.6 million, partially offset by the goodwill impairment. All amounts of the probable sale, including the estimated tax effects, are subject to change when the transaction is completed and additional information becomes available.

(c) Reflects the elimination of the proportionate share of Office Depot de México’s net income recognized by Office Depot, and the tax provision recorded for the period. During 2012, Office Depot changed its assumption of permanent reinvestment of Office Depot de México earnings, resulting in a tax benefit in 2012 and tax expense in the first quarter of 2013.
