in addition to a $50.00 service charge for the replacement certificate, there is a premium of approximately 3% of the market value of the shares (minimum of $20.00) charged to purchase the replacement indemnity bond. </P>

Computershare may combine each selling DepotDirect participant&#146;s shares with those of other selling DepotDirect participants. In every case of a batch order sale, the price to each selling DepotDirect participant shall be the weighted average

sold. The amount of gain or loss will be the difference between the amount that you receive for the shares sold and your tax basis in the shares. Your tax basis will generally equal the amount you paid for the shares (i.e., the optional cash
investment and/or cash dividend plus any service charges and processing fees paid by you). In order to determine the tax basis for shares in your account, you should retain all account transaction statements. </P>

the rate of 30%, but this rate may be reduced by treaty between the U.S. and the country in which the participant resides. Any amount withheld will reduce the amount of dividends that will be reinvested on your behalf. </P>

Internal Revenue Code, then Computershare must withhold 28% (or the current backup withholding rate) from the amount of dividends, the proceeds of the sale of a fractional share and the proceeds of any sale of whole shares. In the event that you are
subject to backup withholding, the amount of dividends that will be reinvested on your behalf will be reduced by the amount of such backup withholding. </P>

of January&nbsp;29, 2017 have been incorporated by reference herein in reliance upon the reports of KPMG LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, incorporated by reference herein and upon the authority of said firm as experts in
accounting and auditing. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">With respect to the unaudited interim financial information for the periods ended April&nbsp;30, 2017 and

for reviews of such information. However, their separate reports included in Home Depot&#146;s Quarterly Reports on Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">10-Q</FONT> for the periods ended April&nbsp;30, 2017, July&nbsp;30, 2017 and October&nbsp;29,
2017, and incorporated by reference herein, state that they did not audit and they do not express an opinion on that interim financial information. Accordingly, the degree of reliance on their reports on such information should be restricted in
light of the limited nature of the review procedures applied. The accountants are not subject to the liability provisions of Section&nbsp;11 of the Securities Act of 1933 (the &#147;Securities Act&#148;) for their reports on the unaudited interim
financial information because those reports are not &#147;reports&#148; or a &#147;part&#148; of the registration statement prepared or certified by the accountants within the meaning of Sections 7 and 11 of the Securities Act.</P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Registrant&#146;s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the
Registrant&#146;s Amended and Restated <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">By-Laws</FONT> and the section of the Delaware General Corporation Law referred to below. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Article&nbsp;Ninth of the Registrant&#146;s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that no director of the Registrant shall
be liable to the Registrant or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i)&nbsp;for any breach of the director&#146;s duty of loyalty to the Registrant or its shareholders, (ii)&nbsp;for
acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii)&nbsp;under Section&nbsp;174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv)&nbsp;for any transaction from which the director derived an
improper personal benefit. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Article&nbsp;V of the Registrant&#146;s Amended and Restated <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">By-Laws</FONT>
provides that each former, present or future director, officer, employee or agent of the Registrant, and each person who may serve at the request of the Registrant as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise shall be indemnified by the Registrant in all events to the fullest extent and in the manner permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware then in effect. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law generally provides that all directors and officers (as well as other employees and
individuals) may be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with certain specified actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation, or a derivative action), if they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. A similar standard of care is applicable in the case of derivative actions, except that indemnification extends to the defense or settlement
of an action, and the Delaware General Corporation Law requires court approval before there can be any indemnification where the person seeking indemnification has been found liable to the corporation. Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law also provides that the rights conferred thereby are not exclusive of any other right to which any person may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, and permits a
corporation to advance expenses to or on behalf of a person entitled to be indemnified upon receipt of an undertaking to repay the amounts advanced if it is determined that the person is not entitled to be indemnified. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, the Registrant maintains officers&#146; and directors&#146; liability insurance for the benefit of its officers and directors.
