<P align=justify><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dear Stockholder:</FONT></P>
<P align=justify><FONT face=Arial size=2>You are cordially invited to attend the
2015 Ross Stores, Inc. Annual Meeting of Stockholders ("Annual Meeting"), which
will be held on Wednesday, May 20, 2015 at 1:00 p.m. PDT, at the Garden Court
Hotel, 520 Cowper Street, Palo Alto, CA 94301. If you will need special
assistance at the meeting, please contact Ms. Angelica Griego, Legal Department,
Ross Stores, Inc., 5130 Hacienda Drive, Dublin, CA 94568, (925) 965-4231, at
least ten days before the meeting.</FONT></P>
<P align=justify><FONT face=Arial size=2>We are pleased to make use again this
year of the Securities and Exchange Commission-approved process for companies to
furnish proxy materials over the Internet. We believe this approach facilitates
stockholders&#146; receipt of proxy materials, while reducing the environmental
impact of our Annual Meeting. We will mail to our stockholders (other than those
who previously requested electronic or paper delivery) a Notice of Internet
Availability of Proxy Materials (the "Notice") containing instructions on how to
access our proxy materials, including our Proxy Statement and Annual Report to
Stockholders for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2015. The Notice also
provides instructions on how to vote online or by telephone, and includes
instructions on how you can receive a paper copy of the proxy materials by mail.
If you receive your Annual Meeting materials by mail, the Notice of Annual
Meeting of Stockholders, Proxy Statement, Annual Report to Stockholders, and
proxy card will be enclosed.</FONT></P>
<P align=justify><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thank you for your commitment to Ross
Stores and for your cooperation in voting your proxy without delay. You may vote
your shares by Internet, toll-free telephone number, or mail. Instructions
regarding all three methods of voting are included in this Proxy Statement on
the page following the Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders.</FONT></P>

<P align=justify><FONT face=Arial size=2>If your shares are held in the name of
a bank, broker, or other holder of record, you are considered a beneficial
owner, whose stock is held in "street name," and you will receive instructions
for granting proxies from your bank, broker, or other agent, rather than a proxy
card. Your broker or nominee will enclose a voting instruction card for you to
use in directing your broker or nominee as to how to vote your shares. A number
of brokers and banks, however, are participating in a program provided through
Broadridge Financial Solutions Inc. ("Broadridge") that offers the means to
grant proxies to vote shares by Internet and by telephone. If your shares are
held in an account with a broker or bank participating in the Broadridge
program, you may grant a proxy to vote those shares by Internet or by calling
the telephone number shown on the instruction form received from your broker or
bank.</FONT></P>
<P align=justify><FONT face=Arial size=2>If you attend the Annual Meeting, you
may be asked to present: (1) valid government-issued photo identification (e.g.,
driver's license, state-issued ID, or passport); (2) if you hold your shares
through a broker, bank, trustee, or nominee (i.e., in street name), proof of
beneficial ownership as of the Record Date (e.g., a copy of your voting
instruction card or brokerage statement reflecting your stock ownership); and/or
(3) for analysts or media, appropriate credentials. Also, the use of cell
phones, smart phones, PDA&#146;s, computers/laptops/tablets, music devices, or
recording or photographic equipment is not permitted for people attending the
Annual Meeting. Security personnel may be present, and coats and bags are
subject to search prior to entry.</FONT></P>
<P align=justify><FONT face=Arial size=2>We must receive votes submitted by
Internet, telephone, or mail by 11:59 p.m. PDT on May 19, 2015. Submitting your
proxy by telephone or Internet will not affect your right to vote in person
should you decide to attend the Annual Meeting.</FONT></P>

brokerage accounts: </FONT></B><I><FONT face=Arial size=2>If YOU do not vote
your shares on Proposal One (election of directors), your brokerage firm can no
longer vote them for you; those shares will remain unvoted. In prior years, if
your broker did not receive instructions from you, they were permitted to vote
your shares for you in routine director elections. However, stock exchange rules
changed starting in 2010 and brokers are no longer allowed to vote uninstructed
shares on those matters. So please make your vote count and provide instructions
to your broker regarding the election of directors.</FONT></I></P>

<P align=justify><FONT face=Arial size=2>The accompanying proxy is solicited by
the Board of Directors of Ross Stores, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("we" or the
"Company"), for use at the Company&#146;s 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be
held on Wednesday, May 20, 2015 at 1:00 p.m. PDT, or any adjournments or
postponements thereof (the "Annual Meeting"), at which stockholders of record at
the close of business on March 24, 2015 are entitled to vote. The Annual Meeting
will be held at the Garden Court Hotel, 520 Cowper Street, Palo Alto, CA
94301.</FONT></P>
<P align=justify><FONT face=Arial size=2>The date of this Proxy Statement is
April 8, 2015, the date on which this Proxy Statement and the accompanying Proxy
were first sent or given to stockholders.</FONT></P>
<P align=justify><FONT face=Arial size=2>The purpose of this Proxy Statement is
to provide our stockholders with certain information regarding the Company, its
management and their compensation, and to provide summaries of the matters to be
voted upon at the Annual Meeting. The stockholders will be asked to: (1) elect
eleven directors to serve a one-year term; (2) approve an amendment to the
Company&#146;s Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized
shares of common stock from 600,000,000 to 1,000,000,000 shares; (3) approve an
amendment to our Employee Stock Purchase Plan (&#147;ESPP&#148;) to increase our ESPP&#146;s
share reserve by 2,500,000 shares; (4) provide an advisory vote to approve
executive compensation; (5) ratify the appointment of Deloitte &amp; Touche LLP
as the Company&#146;s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal
year ending January 30, 2016; and (6) transact such other business as may
properly come before the Annual Meeting or any adjournments or
postponements.</FONT></P>
<P align=justify><FONT face=Arial size=2>We had outstanding on March 24, 2015,
the Record Date, _____ shares of common stock, par value $0.01, all of which are
entitled to vote with respect to all matters to be acted upon at the meeting.
Each stockholder is entitled to one vote for each share of stock held. Our
Bylaws provide that a majority of all shares entitled to vote, whether present
in person or by proxy, will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business
at the Annual Meeting. For ten calendar days prior to the Annual Meeting, a list
of our stockholders of record will be available for viewing by the stockholders
for any purpose relevant to the Annual Meeting during ordinary business hours at
our corporate offices located at 5130 Hacienda Drive, Dublin, CA 94568. On March
24, 2015, we announced that our Board has declared a 2-for-1 stock split in the
form of a stock dividend to be paid on or about June 11, 2015 to stockholders of
record on April 22, 2015. The share numbers presented in this Proxy Statement do
not reflect the effect of that announced stock dividend, which will double the
number of outstanding shares and shares reserved under our equity compensation
plans and outstanding equity grants.</FONT></P>
<P align=justify><FONT face=Arial size=2>All valid proxies received before the
Annual Meeting, including proxies granted over the Internet or by telephone and
submitted prior to midnight PDT the night before the Annual Meeting, will be
exercised. All shares represented by a proxy will be voted, and where a proxy
specifies a stockholder&#146;s choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon,
the shares will be voted in accordance with that specification. If no choice is
indicated on the proxy, the shares will be voted FOR each nominee and FOR
proposals 2, 3, 4, and 5. Any proxy given pursuant to this solicitation may be
revoked by the person giving it, at any time before it is exercised, by filing
with our Corporate Secretary an instrument revoking it, by presenting at the
meeting a duly executed proxy bearing a later date, or by attending the Annual
Meeting and voting in person.</font></P>

Management knows of no reason why any of these nominees would be unable or

person(s) for the office of director as the Nominating and Corporate Governance

<P align=justify><FONT face=Arial size=2>Approval by a majority of the votes
cast by the holders of shares of common stock present or represented by proxy
and voting at the Annual Meeting will determine the election of the directors.
Incumbent directors who receive more votes in favor than votes against (or to
withhold authority) will be reelected. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be
counted as present in determining if a quorum is present, but will not affect
the election of directors. As further discussed below, under the heading "Bylaws
Provide Majority Voting Standard for Director Elections," our Bylaws provide
that any incumbent director who fails to receive more votes in favor of election
than votes against (or to withhold authority) in an uncontested director
election will not be reelected and also must promptly tender his or her offer of
resignation to the Board. At this Annual Meeting, the election of directors is
uncontested.</FONT></P>

<P align=justify><FONT face=Arial size=2>During fiscal 2014, the Board held
seven meetings. No incumbent member of the Board, while serving in such
capacity, attended fewer than 75% of the total number of Board meetings and
applicable committee meetings held during the year. The Board of Directors has
determined that Ms. Garrett and Messrs. Bjorklund, Bush, Milligan, Orban,
Peiros, and Quesnel are each an independent director under the applicable
corporate governance requirements of the listing rules of the NASDAQ Stock
Market ("NASDAQ"). During the fiscal year, the independent directors held three
meetings in executive session without management.</FONT></P>
<P align=justify><FONT face=Arial size=2>We have standing Audit, Compensation,
and Nominating and Corporate Governance committees. The Board has adopted
written charters for each of these committees, which are posted on the Company&#146;s
corporate website, www.rossstores.com in the "Investors" section under
"Corporate Governance." The Board has also adopted a Code of Ethics for Senior
Financial Officers and a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to all
of our employees, officers, directors, and business partners. Both of these
Codes are also posted on the Company&#146;s website, as are the Company&#146;s Corporate

</FONT></B><FONT face=Arial size=2>Our Board has separated the roles of Chairman
of the Board ("Chairman") and Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), and has appointed
Michael Balmuth to serve as Executive Chairman. Mr. Balmuth was formerly the
Company&#146;s CEO from 1996 through May 2014. Our current CEO, Barbara Rentler, has
been in the position since June 2014. </FONT></P>
<P align=justify><FONT face=Arial size=2>Our Board has determined that the
current leadership structure is appropriate because it has worked effectively
for many years. Our Board seeks to have both strong leadership as a Board and a
strong CEO, and to encourage active oversight by the independent directors. Our
experience has shown that separation of the roles of Chairman and CEO can
contribute to the effectiveness of both. However, for this structure to be most
effective, it is key who fills each of those roles, and our Board believes that
it is preferable for both people in these roles to have deep industry expertise
and organizational familiarity with the Company. Mr. Balmuth previously served
as our CEO (from 1996 through May 2014), which we believe contributes to the
effectiveness of our current leadership structure. Our Chairman Emeritus, Norman
Ferber served as Chairman from 1993 through May 2014 and was previously CEO from
1988 to 1996. Barbara Rentler, our CEO since June 2014, has been with the
Company since 1986.</FONT></P>
<P align=justify><FONT face=Arial size=2>The Board has designated a Lead
Independent Director, to act as a liaison between the Chairman, CEO, and
independent directors and to serve as the designated Chair of the Nominating and
Corporate Governance Committee. The Lead Independent Director position rotates
annually among the independent directors. During fiscal 2014, Mr. Orban served
as the Lead Independent Director. </FONT></P>
<P align=justify><FONT face=Arial size=2>Our Board exercises oversight over our
risk management activities, and requests and receives reports from management,
including direct presentations and reports made to our Board by officers with

Garrett and Messrs. Bush and Quesnel are each "financially literate" and that
Mr. Quesnel is considered to be an "audit committee financial expert" as those
terms are defined in rules issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The
functions of the Audit Committee include retaining the Company&#146;s independent

Committee serves to carry out the responsibilities of the Board relating to
determining the compensation of the Company's executives, including the
compensation of our CEO. This committee oversees and administers the policies
and plans that govern the cash, equity, and incentive compensation of executive
officers and non-employee directors of the Company. This committee is also

cash bonuses under the Incentive Compensation Plan, including establishing and
certifying the attainment of the performance goals for those compensation plans,

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan, and Health and Welfare Plans. This

Under our current Bylaws, any director nominee in an uncontested election who
receives more votes against election (including votes to "withhold authority")
than votes in favor of election is not elected. In addition, any incumbent
director who fails to receive such majority approval from the stockholders must
tender an offer of resignation to the Board within 14 days following
certification of the stockholder vote. The Board then has authority to determine
whether or not to accept the director&#146;s offer of resignation. The Bylaws provide
that the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (or another committee
designated by the Board) will consider what action should be taken with respect
to such offers of resignation, and will make a recommendation to the Board
within 60 days following the certification of the stockholder vote. The Bylaws
also provide that the Board is required to take action on the matter within 90
days following certification of the stockholder vote. Both the reviewing
committee and the Board are authorized to consider all factors they believe to
be relevant in determining whether or not to accept any resignation. Within five

disclose the decision, including, if applicable, the reasons for not accepting
an offer of resignation.</FONT></P>

<P align=justify><FONT face=Arial size=2>During the 2014 fiscal year, directors
who were not associates of the Company ("non-employee directors") received an
annual cash retainer of $55,000 (paid quarterly), plus $1,500 for attendance at
each Board meeting, $2,000 for attendance at each meeting of the Audit Committee
or Compensation Committee, and $1,000 for attendance at each meeting of the
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Directors only receive one
committee meeting attendance fee per day. The Chairman of the Audit Committee
(Mr. Quesnel) and the Chairman of the Compensation Committee (Mr. Orban)
received additional annual retainers (paid quarterly) of $44,000 and $25,000,
respectively. The Lead Independent Director (who also serves concurrently as
Chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (Mr. Orban during
fiscal 2014), received an additional annual retainer (paid quarterly) of
$20,000. During the fiscal year, the non-employee directors (other than Mr.
Milligan, who joined the Board in January 2015 and who received an initial
equity granted based on a grant date value of $220,000), also received an annual
equity retainer in the form of a grant of restricted shares of common stock with
a grant date value of $130,000.</FONT></P>
<P align=justify><FONT face=Arial size=2>The Compensation Committee determines
the value and form of director equity awards on an annual basis, including any
equity awards for newly-appointed non-employee directors. The practice is to
grant annual awards on the date of the annual stockholders meeting. As indicated
above, in fiscal 2014 incumbent directors (except for Mr. Milligan) were awarded
an annual equity retainer in the form of a grant of restricted shares of common
stock with a grant date value of $130,000. These awards vest in equal annual
installments over a three-year period. The 2008 Equity Incentive Plan limits
annual restricted stock grants to incumbent directors to 10,000 shares and
grants to newly-appointed directors to 24,000 shares.</FONT></P>

<P align=justify><FONT face=Arial size=2>Mr. Ferber receives compensation for

February 17, 2015. The agreement currently extends through May 31, 2018
("Expiration Date"). Under the current agreement, while he serves as a

$1,523,000 annually, paid in monthly installments; he has voluntarily declined
the annual cash retainer and meeting fees otherwise payable to non-employee
directors. Mr. Ferber continues to receive the standard annual equity retainer
for non-employee directors, in the form of restricted stock, under the Company&#146;s
2008 Equity Incentive Plan. The Consultancy Agreement will terminate in the
event of Mr. Ferber&#146;s death, and provides for the Company to reimburse Mr.
Ferber (grossed-up for taxes) for estimated premiums through May 31, 2018 on a

$2,000,000.</FONT></P>

control of the Company, Mr. Ferber would be entitled to continued payment of his
then current consulting fee through the Expiration Date or any extension

single payment of $1,500,000 upon the consummation of the transaction even if
the consummation occurs after the Expiration Date or any extension thereof.
</FONT></P>
<P align=justify><FONT face=Arial size=2>In addition, the Company has entered
into a Retirement Benefits Package Agreement ("Benefits Agreement") with Mr.
Ferber, most recently amended as of February 17, 2015, which provides that until
the death of both Mr. Ferber and his spouse, Mr. Ferber and his immediate family
(his spouse and his children over 21 if living at home or in college) are
entitled to continue to participate in (at no cost to them) the following Ross
employee benefit plans in which Mr. Ferber now participates: executive medical,
dental, vision, and mental health insurance; health advisory services; group
life insurance; accidental death and dismemberment insurance; business travel
insurance; group excess personal liability; and matching of Mr. Ferber&#146;s 401(k)
(or payment of an equivalent amount). The Company may not make any changes in
such plans or arrangements that would adversely affect Mr. Ferber&#146;s rights or
benefits under the Benefits Agreement, unless such change occurs pursuant to a
program applicable to all senior executives (including our CEO). The medical,
dental, and vision benefits will be provided at the greater of the level of
coverage provided to Mr. Ferber in 2012 or the level of coverage provided to our
CEO. Until Mr. Ferber&#146;s death, he will also be reimbursed (grossed-up for taxes)
for estate planning fees or expenses incurred by Mr. Ferber up to the maximum
annual reimbursement equal to that provided to the CEO (but not less than
$20,000). Upon Mr. Ferber&#146;s death, the estate planning benefits will inure to
his spouse, until her death. Mr. Ferber is also entitled to participate in or
receive benefits under any employee benefit plan or arrangement made available
by the Company in the future to its executives and key management
employees.</FONT></P>
<P align=justify><FONT face=Arial size=2>Under the Benefits Agreement, upon
termination of Mr. Ferber&#146;s consultancy with the Company (other than due to his
death) the Company will pay Mr. Ferber $75,000 per year for a period of 10
years. If, as a result of Mr. Ferber&#146;s status as a consultant to the Company, he
becomes ineligible to participate in any of the Company&#146;s employee benefit
plans, the payments made under the Benefits Agreement will increase to enable
Mr. Ferber to procure (to the extent available) such benefits at no additional
after-tax cost to him. In addition, the Company has agreed to provide
administrative support for Mr. Ferber as long as he serves as a member of the
Company&#146;s Board. Mr. Ferber and his immediate family are also entitled to
Company associate discount cards until Mr. Ferber&#146;s death.</FONT></P>

<P align=center><B><FONT face=Arial><A NAME="Proposal2"></A>PROPOSAL 2</FONT></B><BR>
<B><FONT face=Arial>APPROVE AN AMENDMENT TO THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
TO<BR>INCREASE THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK</FONT></B></P>
<P align=justify><B><FONT face=Arial size=2>Background</FONT></B></P>
<P align=justify style="margin-top: -4pt"><FONT face=Arial size=2>Under Delaware law, the Company may
only issue shares of Common Stock to the extent such shares have been authorized
for issuance under the Company&#146;s Certificate of Incorporation (&#147;Certificate&#148;).
The Certificate currently authorizes the issuance by the Company of up to
600,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.01 par value. As of March 24, 2015,
_________ shares of the Company&#146;s Common Stock were issued and outstanding.
However, following the effectiveness of the previously announced 2-for-1 stock
split that will be paid in June 2015, and after providing for shares already
reserved for issuance under our equity plans, approximately _______ million
shares of Common Stock would remain unissued and unreserved.</FONT></P>
<P align=justify style="margin-top: -4pt"><FONT face=Arial size=2>In order to ensure sufficient shares of
Common Stock will be available for issuance by the Company, the Board of
Directors on March 11, 2015 approved, subject to stockholder approval, amending
the Company&#146;s Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of shares of
such Common Stock authorized for issuance from 600,000,000 to
1,000,000,000.</FONT></P>
<P align=justify><B><FONT face=Arial size=2>Purpose and Effect of the
Amendment</FONT></B></P>
<P align=justify style="margin-top: -4pt"><FONT face=Arial size=2>The principal purpose of the proposed
amendment to the Certificate is to authorize additional shares of Common Stock
which will be available in the event the Board of Directors determines that it
is necessary or appropriate to declare future stock dividends or stock splits,
to raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities, to acquire
another Company or its assets, to establish strategic relationships with
corporate partners, provide equity incentives to employees and officers, or for
other corporate purposes. The Company has declared and paid one-for-one stock
dividends in March 1997, September 1999, December 2003, December 2011, and has
declared another stock dividend to be paid in June 2015. The Board of Directors
has no current intention to further split the outstanding Common Stock by
declaring a stock dividend, and the declaration and payment of such a stock
dividend by the Board would be contingent upon several factors, including the
market price of the Company's stock, the Company's expectations about future
performance, and the Company's beliefs about general stock market trends. The
availability of additional shares of Common Stock is particularly important in
the event that the Board of Directors needs to undertake any of the foregoing
actions on an expedited basis and thus to avoid the time and expense of seeking
stockholder approval in connection with the contemplated issuance of Common
Stock. The Board of Directors has no present agreement, arrangement or intention
to issue any of the shares for which approval is sought. If the amendment is
approved by the stockholders, the Board of Directors does not intend to solicit
further stockholder approval prior to the issuance of any additional shares of
Common Stock, except as may be required by applicable law and by the corporate
governance requirements of the listing rules of NASDAQ.</FONT></P>
<P align=justify style="margin-top: -4pt"><FONT face=Arial size=2>The increase in authorized Common Stock
will not have any immediate effect on the rights of existing stockholders.
However, the Board will have the authority to issue authorized Common Stock
without requiring future stockholder approval of such issuances, except as may
be required by applicable law and by the corporate governance requirements of
the listing rules of NASDAQ. To the extent that additional authorized shares are
issued in the future, they may decrease the existing stockholders' percentage
equity ownership and, depending on the price at which they are issued, could be
dilutive to the existing stockholders. The holders of Common Stock have no
preemptive rights and the Board of Directors has no plans to grant such rights
with respect to any such shares.</FONT></P>
<P align=justify style="margin-top: -4pt"><FONT face=Arial size=2>The increase in the authorized number
of shares of Common Stock and the subsequent issuance of such shares could have
the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company without
further action by the stockholders. Shares of authorized and unissued Common
Stock could, within the limits imposed by applicable law, be issued in one or
more transactions which would make a change in control of the Company more
difficult, and therefore less likely. Any such issuance of additional stock
could have the effect of diluting the earnings per share and book value per
share of outstanding shares of Common Stock and such additional shares could be
used to dilute the stock ownership or voting rights of a person seeking to
obtain control of the Company.</FONT></P>

APPROVE AN AMENDMENT TO THE EMPLOYEE STOCK
PURCHASE PLAN TO<BR>INCREASE THE SHARE RESERVE BY 2,500,000
SHARES</FONT></B></P>
<P align=justify><FONT face=Arial size=2>The Board of Directors is asking our
stockholders to approve an amendment to our Employee Stock Purchase Plan
(&#147;ESPP&#148;) to increase by 2,500,000 the maximum number of shares of our Common
Stock authorized for sale to our employees. The Company&#146;s stockholders have
previously approved the sale of up 20,000,000 shares under the ESPP (subject to
adjustment upon certain changes in the capital structure of the Company). The
ESPP was originally adopted in 1988, and over the subsequent 27-year period, an
aggregate of 19,342,000 shares of common stock have been purchased by employees.
As of the December 31, 2014 purchase date, a total of 658,000 shares remained
available for future purchases, without giving effect to this
proposal.</FONT></P>
<P align=justify style="margin-top: -4pt"><FONT face=Arial size=2>We believe that the ESPP benefits the
Company and its stockholders by providing employees with an opportunity to
acquire a proprietary interest in the Company that is helpful in attracting,
retaining, and motivating valued employees. To ensure that we will have a
sufficient pool of shares to continue offering this broad-based equity ownership
opportunity, the Board of Directors has unanimously adopted, subject to
stockholder approval, an amendment to increase the maximum number of shares of
Common Stock authorized for issuance under the ESPP by 2,500,000 shares, to an
aggregate historical total of 22,500,000 shares. Upon approval of the proposed
increase, a total of 3,158,132 shares of common stock would be available for
future purchases by employees.</FONT></P>
<P align=justify><B><FONT face=Arial size=2>Summary of the ESPP</FONT></B></P>
<P align=justify style="margin-top: -4pt"><FONT face=Arial size=2>The following is a summary of the

<P align=justify style="margin-top: -4pt"><B><I><FONT face=Arial size=2>General Operation.
</FONT></I></B><FONT face=Arial size=2>The ESPP is intended to qualify as an

Each participant is granted at the beginning of each offering under the ESPP the
right to purchase, using accumulated payroll deductions, up to a number of
shares of our Common Stock determined on the first day of the offering period.
The purchase right is automatically exercised on the last day of the offering
period unless the participant has withdrawn from participation in the ESPP or
has ceased to be an employee.</FONT></P>
<P align=justify style="margin-top: -4pt"><B><I><FONT face=Arial size=2>Administration.
</FONT></I></B><FONT face=Arial size=2>The Board of Directors or a duly

although the Board has delegated many of the administrative functions to our

be final and binding on all persons having an interest in the ESPP.</FONT></P>
<P align=justify style="margin-top: -4pt"><B><I><FONT face=Arial size=2>Authorized Shares.
</FONT></I></B><FONT face=Arial size=2>Currently, a maximum of 20,000,000

under the ESPP, subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock
dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, combination,
reclassification, or similar change in the capital structure of the Company, or
in the event of any merger or other reorganization not involving the receipt of
consideration by the Company. If any participant&#146;s purchase right expires or
terminates, the shares subject to the unexercised portion of purchase right will
again be available for issuance under the ESPP. If the stockholders approve this
proposal, the maximum number of shares authorized for issuance under the ESPP
will be increased by 2,500,000 shares to an aggregate total of 22,500,000
shares. </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>As of the

week and more than five months in any calendar year. However, no employee who
owns or holds options to purchase, or who, as a result of participating in the
ESPP, would own or hold options to purchase, five percent or more of the total
combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Company or of any
parent or subsidiary corporation of the Company is eligible to participate in
the ESPP. As of the December 31, 2014 purchase date, 51,000 employees with six

<P align=justify><B><I><FONT face=Arial size=2>Offerings. </FONT></I></B><FONT face=Arial size=2>The ESPP is generally implemented through four offerings each
calendar year. Each offering period has a duration of approximately three
months. Offering periods begin on or about January 1, April 1, July 1, and
October 1 of each year. However, the Board may establish a different term
for one or more offerings or different commencement or ending dates for any
offering period. The last day of each offering period is a purchase date on
which employees participating in that offering period purchase shares of our
Common Stock.</FONT></P>
<P align=justify><B><I><FONT face=Arial size=2>Purchase Price.
</FONT></I></B><FONT face=Arial size=2>The price at which shares are sold under
the ESPP in each offering is established by the Board but may not be less than
85% of the lesser of the fair market value per share of Common Stock (generally
determined by the closing sale price) on the first day of the offering period or
on the purchase date. This purchase price formula has generally applied to all
offering periods under the ESPP. On the December 31, 2014 purchase date, the
closing price per share of our Common Stock quoted on the NASDAQ Stock Market
was $94.26.</FONT></P>
<P align=justify><B><I><FONT face=Arial size=2>Payroll Deductions.
</FONT></I></B><FONT face=Arial size=2>Participation in an offering under the
ESPP is limited to eligible employees who authorize payroll deductions prior to
the beginning of the offering period. Payroll deductions may not exceed 10% (or
such other rate as the Board determines) of an employee&#146;s compensation on any
pay day during the offering period. An employee who becomes a participant in the
ESPP will automatically participate in each subsequent offering period until the
employee withdraws from the ESPP, becomes ineligible to participate, or ceases
employment.</FONT></P>
<P align=justify><FONT face=Arial size=2>Subject to any uniform limitations or
notice requirements imposed by the Company, a participant may decrease his or
her rate of payroll deductions or withdraw from the ESPP at any time during an
offering period or increase his or her payroll deduction rate to become
effective with the next offering period. Upon withdrawal, the Company will
refund without interest the participant&#146;s accumulated payroll deductions not
previously applied to purchase shares. A participant who has withdrawn from the
ESPP may not again participate in the same offering period.</FONT></P>
<P align=justify><B><I><FONT face=Arial size=2>Grant of Purchase Rights.
</FONT></I></B><FONT face=Arial size=2>Subject to certain limitations, each
participant in an offering is granted a purchase right for a number of whole
shares determined by dividing (i) $2,083.33 multiplied by the number of months

on the first day of the offering period. In any event, no participant may accrue
a right to purchase shares of Common Stock under the ESPP or any other employee
stock purchase plan of the Company having a fair market value, exceeding the
applicable federal limit (currently $25,000 per year) (measured by the fair market value
of our Common Stock on the first day of the offering period in which the shares
are purchased) for each calendar year in which the purchase right is outstanding
at any time. Purchase rights are nontransferable and may only be exercised by
the participant.</FONT></P>
<P align=justify><B><I><FONT face=Arial size=2>Purchase of Shares.
</FONT></I></B><FONT face=Arial size=2>On the last day of each offering period,
each participant automatically acquires from the Company a number of shares of
Common Stock determined by dividing the amount of payroll deductions accumulated
for the participant during the offering period by the purchase price, limited in
each case by the number of shares subject to the participant&#146;s purchase right
for that offering period. Any payroll deductions under the ESPP not applied to
purchase shares will be returned to the participant without interest.</FONT></P>
<P align=justify><B><I><FONT face=Arial size=2>Change in Control.
</FONT></I></B><FONT face=Arial size=2>The ESPP defines a &#147;change in control&#148; of
the Company as any of the following events: (i) a dissolution or liquidation of
the Company; (ii) the sale, lease or other disposition of all or substantially
all of the assets of the Company; or (iii) a merger, reverse merger,
consolidation or reorganization of the Company with or into another entity, or
any other capital reorganization in which more than 50% of the voting shares of
the Company are exchanged. If a change in control occurs, then the Board may
arrange for: (i) continuation of the outstanding purchase rights; (ii) the
assumption or replacement of outstanding purchase rights by the surviving or
acquiring corporation; or (iii) the exercise of outstanding purchase rights
prior to the change in control.</FONT></P>
<P align=justify><B><I><FONT face=Arial size=2>Amendment or Termination.
</FONT></I></B><FONT face=Arial size=2>The ESPP will continue until terminated
by the Board or until all of the shares reserved for issuance under the plan
have been issued. The Board may at any time amend, suspend, or terminate the
ESPP, except that the approval of the Company&#146;s stockholders is required within
twelve months of the adoption of any amendment increasing the number of shares
authorized for issuance under the ESPP, or changing the definition of the
corporations which may be designated by the Board as corporations the employees
of which may participate in the ESPP. Generally, no amendment, suspension, or
termination of the ESPP may adversely affect a participant&#146;s outstanding

<P align=justify><B><FONT face=Arial size=2>Summary of United States Federal
Income Tax Consequences</FONT></B></P>
<P align=justify><FONT face=Arial size=2>The following summary is intended only
as a general guide as to the United States federal income tax consequences under
current law of participation in the ESPP and does not attempt to describe all
possible federal or other tax consequences of such participation or tax
consequences based on particular circumstances.</FONT></P>
<P align=justify><FONT face=Arial size=2>The ESPP is intended to qualify under
the provisions of section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. Under these
provisions, there are no tax consequences to an employee of either becoming a
participant in the ESPP or purchasing shares under the ESPP. The tax
consequences of a disposition of shares vary depending on the period such stock
is held before its disposition. If a participant disposes of shares within two
years after being granted a purchase right or within one year after the purchase
date on which the shares are acquired (a &#147;disqualifying disposition&#148;), the
participant recognizes ordinary income in the year of disposition in an amount
equal to the difference between the fair market value of the shares on the
purchase date and the purchase price. Any additional gain or resulting loss
recognized by the participant from the disposition of the shares is a capital
gain or loss. If the participant disposes of shares more than two years after
being granted the purchase right and more than one year after the purchase date
on which the shares are acquired, the participant recognizes ordinary income in
the year of disposition in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the difference
between the fair market value of the shares on the date of disposition and the
purchase price; or (ii) the difference between the fair market value of the
shares on the first day of the offering period and the purchase price
(determined as if the purchase right was exercised) on the first day of the
offering period. Any additional gain recognized by the participant on the
disposition of the shares is a capital gain. If the fair market value of the
shares on the date of disposition is less than the purchase price, there is no
ordinary income, and the loss recognized is a capital loss. If the participant
owns the shares at the time of the participant&#146;s death, the lesser of (i) the
difference between the fair market value of the shares on the date of death and
the purchase price; or (ii) the difference between the fair market value of the
shares on the first day of the offering period and the purchase price
(determined as if the purchase right was exercised on the first day of the
offering period) is recognized as ordinary income in the year of the
participant&#146;s death.</FONT></P>
<P align=justify><FONT face=Arial size=2>If the exercise of a purchase right
does not constitute an exercise pursuant to an &#147;employee stock purchase plan&#148;
under section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code, the exercise of the purchase
right will be treated as the exercise of a nonstatutory stock option. The
participant would therefore recognize ordinary income on the purchase date equal
to the excess of the fair market value of the shares acquired over the purchase
price paid. Such income is subject to withholding of income and employment
taxes. Any gain or loss recognized on a subsequent sale of the shares, as
measured by the difference between the sale proceeds and the sum of (i) the
purchase price for such shares; and (ii) the amount of ordinary income
recognized on the exercise of the purchase right, will be treated as a capital
gain or loss, as the case may be.</FONT></P>
<P align=justify><FONT face=Arial size=2>If the participant disposes of the
shares in a disqualifying disposition, the Company should be entitled to a
deduction equal to the amount of ordinary income recognized by the participant
as a result of the disposition, except to the extent such deduction is limited
by applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code or the regulations
thereunder. In all other cases, no deduction is allowed the Company.</FONT></P>
<P align=justify><B><FONT face=Arial size=2>Amended Plan Benefits and Additional
Information.</FONT></B></P>
<P align=justify><FONT face=Arial size=2>Because benefits under the ESPP will
depend on employees&#146; elections to participate and the fair market value of the
Company&#146;s Common Stock at various future dates, it is not possible to determine
the benefits that will be received by executive officers and other employees if
the proposed amendment to the ESPP is approved by our stockholders. No purchase
rights have been granted with respect to the 2,500,000 additional shares for
which stockholder approval is being sought.</FONT></P>

<P align=justify><FONT face=Arial size=2>The Board is asking our stockholders to
vote, on an advisory basis, on the compensation of our Named Executive Officers
("NEOs") as described in this Proxy Statement. This annual proposal, commonly
known as a "Say on Pay" proposal, is designed to give our stockholders the
opportunity to endorse or not endorse our executive compensation
program.</FONT></P>
<P align=justify><B><FONT face=Arial size=2><A NAME="BoardofDirectors"></A>Board of Directors&#146; Recommendation
and Vote Required</FONT></B></P>
<P align=justify><FONT face=Arial size=2>Our executive compensation program has
been designed to align our executive officers&#146; compensation with the short- and
long-term strategic goals of the Company and the interests of our stockholders,
recognize individual performance and contributions, and assist us in attracting,
motivating, and retaining a strong leadership team. The underlying philosophy of
our program has not changed since 1982. We believe that it has been a key reason
historically that we have been able to recruit and retain outstanding
executives, and achieve exceptional rates of stockholder return over the long
time horizons. Having management stability and smart people who know our
business are critical to our success. Our five continuing NEOs have been with
the Company for a combined total of 104 years, with an average tenure of more
than 20 years. Over the last 10 years, our average annual total shareholder
return has been 22%, and our average annual rate of return on equity has been
38%. We have also returned $3.6 billion to stockholders through annual share
repurchases during that time.</FONT></P>
<P align=justify><FONT face=Arial size=2>At last year&#146;s Annual Meeting, our
stockholders voted more than 99% in favor of the advisory approval. We believe
our executive compensation program continues to be effective.</FONT></P>
<P align=justify><FONT face=Arial size=2>A substantial majority of the
compensation awarded to our NEOs, or realizable by them, is linked to Company
profit performance and to the value of our common shares. Base salaries account
for approximately 15% of NEOs' total compensation.</FONT></P>
<P align=justify><FONT face=Arial size=2>As further described below under the
heading "Executive Compensation - Compensation Discussion and Analysis," which
we encourage you to review, highlights of our executive compensation program
include the following: </FONT></P>

      continued service to the Company over a two-year period. We believe this

      strong incentive for our NEOs both to remain employed at the Company and
      to successfully manage and grow the value of Ross shares over the
      long-term. We believe these long-term equity awards are extremely
      important to aligning the financial interests of our NEOs with those of
      our stockholders and expose the NEOs to the consequences of both increases
      and decreases in the value of Ross shares. Our use of full value awards is

(ii) an analysis showing past compensation and projected future compensation;
and (iii) a self-evaluation by the CEO that the Committee discusses with the
independent directors and that is based on the annual statement of CEO
objectives prepared at the beginning of the fiscal year. The CEO&#146;s total direct
compensation package is reviewed annually by the Committee, which then presents
its recommendation to the other independent directors for review and comment.

compensation in reaction to the market data alone, and does not target
compensation to a specific point or range within any peer group. In addition to
reviewing compensation practices, the Committee also evaluates the financial and

annual cash incentive program designed to link a meaningful portion of each
NEO's current cash compensation with the Company&#146;s annual performance objectives
by encouraging NEOs to focus on exceeding the established adjusted pre-tax

<P align=justify style="margin-bottom: -4pt"><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>The objectives of the long-term
equity incentive grants are to (1) align the financial interests of our NEOs

(2) attract, motivate and retain a high-performing group of NEOs; and (3)

<P align=justify style="margin-bottom: -4pt"><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>NEOs are granted long-term equity
incentives in the form of restricted stock awards and performance share awards.
The two forms of equity awards encourage retention and reward NEO performance in
different ways. Restricted stock awards and performance shares are both affected
by all stock price changes, so the value to the NEO is changed by both decreases
and increases in share price.</FONT></P>
<P align=justify style="margin-bottom: -4pt"><B><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>Restricted Stock Awards:
</FONT></B><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>Restricted stock awards granted to our
NEOs vest in large increments typically over five years (so-called "cliff"
vesting). We believe that the value of these awards and their extended vesting
period provide a strong incentive for our NEOs both to remain employed at the
Company and to successfully manage and grow the value of Ross shares over the
long-term, and align the financial interests of our NEOs with those of our
stockholders. They expose the NEOs to the consequences of both increases and
decreases in the value of Ross shares. The determination of the value of the
restricted stock awards granted to our NEOs is based on the Committee's
assessment of the individual</FONT><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>&#146;</FONT><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>s prior and outstanding awards, the vesting schedule of

significantly based on the Company's degree of success in the achievement of
pre-established pre-tax profit (adjusted pre-tax earnings) targets. A portion of
the performance shares (typically 70%), once earned, are then generally subject
to further vesting based on continued service to the Company over the next two
years. We believe this framework encourages retention and further strengthens
the incentive to produce long-term value for our stockholders by working to
increase the share price over a multi-year time horizon. </FONT></P>

long-term performance. Therefore, the Committee pays significant attention to
creating long-term equity incentives in structuring compensation packages for
our CEO, with performance and retention over the longer-term being the biggest
considerations. The Committee believes the vesting schedule of the equity awards

<P align=justify style="margin-bottom: -8pt"><FONT face=Arial size=2 style="word-spacing: -2px">We issue equity awards in the form of
performance share awards and restricted stock on the executive officer&#146;s hire
date, promotion date, contract renewal date, or as part of the Company&#146;s annual
performance review process conducted in March of each year. We review the
performance and compensation for the majority of our executive officers annually
at that time. In fiscal 2014, there were grants of equity awards made to Ms.
Rentler and to Mr. O&#146;Sullivan that became effective on June 1, 2014, in
conjunction with the CEO transition, and some incremental equity awards made to
other executive officers were also made effective at that time. The Company
approves all executive officer equity grants for issuance on or after the
approval date. We do not time grant dates based on any favorable or unfavorable
non-public information anticipated to be disclosed at a later date. Our Board
and Committee also have delegated authority to the Executive Chairman, CEO, and
COO, subject to certain limits, to grant equity awards to newly hired associates
and/ or associates who receive promotions outside of the normal annual focal
review process for associates who are below the executive officer
level.</FONT></P>

Compensation Plans</FONT></B></P>
<P align=justify style="margin-bottom: -6pt"><FONT face=Arial size=2>Executive officers are eligible to
participate in the Company&#146;s 401(k) Plan. The Company provides a matching
contribution of up to 4% of base salary (up to IRS limits) to contributing
associates with more than six months of service. Participants have the ability
to choose from a variety of investment options under the 401(k) Plan.
</FONT></P>
<P align=justify style="margin-bottom: -6pt"><FONT face=Arial size=2>In addition, under the terms of the
Company&#146;s Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan (the "NQDC Plan"), all
executive officers are eligible to defer up to 75% of their base salary and up
to 100% of their annual incentive bonus earned during the year. The executive
can then choose from a variety of investment options under the NQDC Plan.
Individual contributions and associated earnings may be deferred, without any
distributions, for a maximum period of up to twelve months after the executive
officer&#146;s termination from the Company, at which time the aggregate balance in
the executive&#146;s NQDC Plan account pays out either in a lump sum or in annual
installments over a period up to a maximum of ten years.</FONT></P>
<P align=justify style="margin-bottom: -4pt"><FONT face=Arial size=2>Executive officers are eligible for a
Company match for their NQDC Plan contributions to the extent that the executive
officers did not receive the full Company match to which associates are eligible
under the Company&#146;s 401(k) Plan. In fiscal 2014, none of the NEOs received such
a match (see table regarding NEO participation in the NQDC Plan for 2014 on page

<P align=justify style="margin-bottom: -6pt"><FONT face=Arial size=2>We believe these employment agreements
benefit both the NEOs and the Company as they allow our executives to focus on
their responsibilities and objectives without concern for their employment
security in the event of a termination or change in control. All employment
agreements, both for the CEO and for all other executive officers, provide for
severance benefits in certain situations.</FONT></P>
<P align=justify style="margin-bottom: -6pt"><FONT face=Arial size=2>We also believe that these employment
agreements are an effective retention tool for executives while providing
protection for the Company. The agreements reaffirm protection of our
confidential information and trade secrets, as well as post-termination
restrictions on recruiting our current associates (see further discussion under
"Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control," on pages 42 through
47).</FONT></P>
<P align=justify style="margin-bottom: -6pt"><FONT face=Arial size=2>Beginning in fiscal year 2014, the

valued at the actual incremental cost of each item to the Company. In general,
executive officers including the CEO are provided with executive medical plan

the compensation received from the Company. The use by certain NEOs of
transportation services to and from our offices enhances their contributions to
the business by saving them time that is not spent in traffic or parking, while
also allowing them to work while in transit. The executive medical plan is part
of our overall executive health benefit package for all associates at the level

<P align=justify><FONT face=Arial size=2>The following table provides
information with respect to the potential payout to our NEOs under non-equity
incentive plan awards, equity incentive plan awards, and other equity
compensation awards. For fiscal 2014, the Compensation Committee established
goals under the Incentive Compensation Plan that provided the opportunity for
the NEOs to receive cash incentive bonuses ranging from 55% to 140% of base
salary at target, depending on their position. Under the Incentive Compensation
Plan, if adjusted pre-tax earnings exceed the target, a maximum of up to two
times each officer&#146;s target award could be paid based on the actual results
achieved relative to the target. If adjusted pre-tax earnings fell below the
pre-established target but above the minimum threshold required, then the cash
incentive bonuses would be less than the targeted range of 55% to 140% of base
salary. No payment occurs under the Plan if adjusted pre-tax earnings fall below
the minimum threshold.</FONT></P>

      NEO at threshold, target and maximum attainment relative to the target for
      adjusted pre-tax earnings, based on the formula established by the
      Compensation Committee on March 12, 2014. For Mr. Balmuth, Ms. Rentler,
      and Mr. O'Sullivan, the estimates are calculated based on a prorated basis
      using the salary and bonus target in effect both before and after the
      effective date of the CEO transition. For fiscal 2014, the Company
      achieved a level of pre-tax earnings which resulted in a payout above the
      target award.</FONT></TD></TR>

      awards are rights to receive shares of stock on a specified settlement
      date based on the degree to which the Company attains a predetermined
      performance goal. For fiscal 2014, the amount payable to the NEOs was
      determined by the level of actual adjusted pre-tax earnings achieved
      relative to the target established and approved by the Committee at its
      meeting on March 12, 2014. The Company achieved a level of adjusted
      pre-tax earnings relative to the target which resulted in the payout of
      134.75% of the target award subject to the vesting schedule described
      below. There were grants of equity awards to Ms. Rentler and to Mr.
      O&#146;Sullivan that became effective on June 1, 2014, in conjunction with the
      CEO transition, and some incremental equity awards to other executive
      officers were also made effective at that time. The shares issued upon
      attaining the performance goal are thereafter subject to a separate
      vesting schedule based on continued service of the NEO as follows: for
      NEOs other than Mr. Balmuth - 30% on March 16, 2015; 30% on March 16, 2016
      and 40% on March 16, 2017; for Mr. Balmuth - 100% vesting on May 31,

<P align=justify><B><FONT face=Arial size=2><A NAME="Potential"></A>POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION
OR CHANGE IN CONTROL </FONT></B></P>
<P align=justify><FONT face=Arial size=2>As described in the "Discussion of
Summary Compensation Table," we have entered into employment agreements with
each of our NEOs. The current agreements provide for certain payments and other
benefits if an NEO&#146;s employment terminates under circumstances specified in the
agreement or if there is a "change in control" of the Company. The following
table describes and quantifies estimated potential incremental payments and
benefits that would become payable under each NEO's employment agreement as they
existed in fiscal 2014, if the NEO's employment had terminated on January 30,
2015, the last business day of our most recently completed fiscal year, or if a
change in control occurred on that date. The amounts contained in the table are
based on each NEO&#146;s period of service and compensation as of January 30, 2015
and, where applicable, the Company&#146;s closing stock price as reported by the
NASDAQ Stock Market on that date. The table presents estimates of incremental
amounts that would become payable had a triggering event occurred on January 30,
2015, and does not include amounts that were earned and payable as of that date
regardless of the occurrence of a triggering event. The actual amounts to be
paid in any instance can only be determined at the time of a triggering
event.</FONT></P>
