Form 8-K for BEST BUY CO INC


14-Aug-2009

Regulation FD Disclosure


ITEM 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

Effective August 10, 2009, Bradbury H. Anderson, Vice Chairman of Best Buy Co., Inc. ("Best Buy" or the "registrant") adopted a pre-arranged trading plan (the "Plan") to sell shares of the registrant's common stock. The Plan was designed to comply with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and the registrant's policies regarding stock transactions. Under Rule 10b5-1, directors, officers and other persons who are not in possession of material non-public information may adopt a pre-arranged plan or contract for the sale of the registrant's securities under specified conditions and at specified times to achieve prudent and gradual asset diversification over time.

Mr. Anderson informed the registrant that the stock sales to be effected pursuant to the Plan are part of his personal program for long-term asset diversification and tax and financial planning. The Plan will not reduce Mr. Anderson's ownership of the registrant's shares below the registrant's applicable director stock ownership guidelines.

The Plan provides that Mr. Anderson will sell shares over eleven months beginning in September 2009. Shares to be sold are currently held. Shares will be sold under the Plan in the open market at prevailing market prices, subject to minimum price thresholds. Mr. Anderson will have no control over the timing of the stock sales under the Plan. The Plan is scheduled to expire on August 12, 2010.

All stock sales under the Plan will be disclosed publicly in accordance with applicable securities laws, rules and regulations through appropriate filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

The information in this Item 7.01 of the registrant's Current Report on Form 8-K is being furnished and shall not be deemed to be "filed" for the purposes of
Section 18 of the Exchange Act or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section. Furthermore, the information in this Item 7.01 of the registrant's Current Report on Form 8-K shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, unless such subsequent filing specifically references this Current Report on Form 8-K.

The registrant does not undertake to report other Rule 10b5-1 plans that may be adopted by any officers or directors of the registrant in the future, or to report any modifications or termination of any publicly announced plan or to report any plan adopted by an employee who is not an executive officer, except to the extent required by law.
