Explanation of Responses:
As a Non-Employee Director, I have elected to defer the receipt of a portion of
my director fees under the Toys "R" Us, Inc. Stock Unit Plan for Non-Employee
Directors. The Company has agreed to credit the value of such fees to a stock
account maintained by the Company in the form of Stock Units and use the funds
to purchase shares of the Company's Common Stock to be set aside for my eventual
benefit. The Stock Units generally have a one year vesting period and will be
settled by delivery of the Common Stock upon the earlier of my retirement, my
resignation, my death or the date to which I have elected to defer receipt
thereof. The shares of Common Stock underlying my Stock Units were acquired on
the open market at the price noted.
Grant of option to purchase shares of the Company's Common Stock under the Toys
"R" Us, Inc. Non-Employee Directors' Stock Option Plan. Subject to certain
conditions, one-third of the total number of shares covered by the option
becomes exercisable on a cumulative basis on each of the third, fourth and fifth
anniversaries of the date of the grant.
