On December 14, 2012, simultaneously with the execution of the Letter Agreement (as further described in Item 8.01 below), the Board of Directors of Best Buy Co., Inc.

Pursuant to the Bylaw Amendment, for business, including director nominations, to be properly brought before the Company's 2013 regular meeting of shareholders by a shareholder, a shareholder must submit notice to the Secretary of the Company no earlier than February 15, 2013 and no later than March 15, 2013 (as opposed to no more than 150 days and no less than 120 days before the anniversary of the prior year's regular meeting of shareholders). The Bylaw Amendment was effective immediately upon approval.

The foregoing summary of the amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amended and Restated Bylaws, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

The news release issued on December 14, 2012 is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of
Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to liability of that Section unless the registrant specifically incorporates it by reference in a document filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.



Item 8.01 Other Events.

On December 14, 2012, the Company and Mr. Schulze entered into the Letter Agreement amending the Confidentiality Agreement to, among other things, (i) allow Mr. Schulze to provide the Company with a Qualified Offer (as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement) on or after February 1, 2013 through February 28, 2013 and (ii) effect a corresponding extension of the Standstill Period (as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement) from August 26, 2013 to October 31, 2013.

In connection with entering into the Letter Agreement, the registrant granted Mr. Schulze a limited waiver of Minnesota law in order to allow Mr. Schulze to work with his private equity partners to develop a definitive proposal to be presented to the registrant's Board.

The foregoing description of the principal terms of the Letter Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Letter Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.
