        <footnote id="F1">Each restricted stock unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of Toys &quot;R&quot; Us, Inc. common stock. These restricted units were granted under the issuer's Non-Employee Directors' Stock Unit Plan and deferred as of the same day under the issuer's Non-Employee Directors' Deferred Compensation Plan. The restricted stock units vest one year following the date of grant.  Vested shares (or, in the issuer's discretion, an equivalent value in cash) will be delivered to the reporting person upon termination of service as a director.</footnote>
