Explanation of Responses:
( 1 )The price reported in Column 4 is a weighted average price. These shares were sold in multiple transactions at prices ranging from $26.91 to $27.10, inclusive. Ms. Ballard undertakes to provide to BBY, any security holder of BBY, or the staff of the SEC, upon request, full information regarding the number of shares sold at each separate price within the ranges set forth in this footnote.
( 2 )Amount reflected represents the adjusted balance of the BBY stock fund in Ms. Ballard's 401(k) as of June 26, 2013, the transaction date.

Remarks:
Ms. Ballard's disposition of directly-held shares (as reported in the first row of Column 4) includes approximately 33,300 shares that she had previously purchased outright, as well as vested shares of Company-granted stock. As reported in the second row of Column 4, Ms. Ballard also sold the entire balance of the BBY stock fund in her 401(k) in order to diversify her 401(k) portfolio. As reflected in Column 5, Ms. Ballard's holdings remain significantly in excess of her 55,000 share ownership target under the Company's Executive Stock Ownership Guidelines following the reported transactions. This is Ms. Ballard's first sale of Company stock since August of 2007.
