Item 2. Acquisition of Assets.

                On June 2, 2003, following the receipt of the required regulatory approval from the European competition authority and satisfaction of the conditions to closing under the Sale and Purchase Agreement, dated April 11, 2003, we purchased from Pinault Printemps Redoute all of the shares of Guilbert, S.A., the French parent company of the corporate group that constitutes one of the largest contract stationers in Europe. The acquisition was made pursuant to a Sale and Purchase Agreement, dated April 11, 2003, as reported in our current report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on April 18, 2003.

                Based on the seller group’s estimates of these adjustments, the net amount due of euro 788,038,000 consisted of (i) euro 565,802,000 in cash payable to the seller and (ii) euro 215,583,000 of intercompany indebtedness owed to the seller and euro 6,653,000 in assumed third party indebtedness net of cash equivalents in excess of euro 7 million. On June 2, 2003, we paid euro 523,038,000 of the consideration from our available company funds. On June 30, 2003, we will pay euro 265,000,000 of the consideration from our available company funds and, to the extent necessary or desirable, loans to us under our existing revolving credit facility with Citibank N.A., as syndication agent, and other syndicate banks.

                The estimates provided by Pinault Printemps Redoute, and therefore the net amount payable to it, remain subject to further adjustment following the determination of the actual amounts at closing of intercompany indebtedness, third party indebtedness and net working capital by BDO Gendrot, an independent accountant jointly appointed by us and PPR. This determination is expected to be made by July 16, 2003.

                Furthermore, the purchase price remains subject to an upward adjustment of euro 40 million in cash or common stock of Office Depot, Inc. if the common stock of Office Depot, Inc. as traded on the New York Stock Exchange closes at a price equal to or above $20 for any 5 consecutive trading days during the 18 month period following June 2, 2003.

                The purchase price was determined as a result of arm’s length negotiations between us and PPR.

                A copy of the Company’s press release announcing the closing is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to the current report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on June 3, 2003.

Item 7.  Financial Statements, Pro Forma Financial Information and Exhibits.

                The financial statements of Guilbert and the pro forma financial information required to be included in this current report on Form 8-K shall be filed by amendment as soon as practicable, but in any event no later than 60 days after the date that this current report on Form 8-K must be filed.

                No exhibits are filed with this current report on Form 8-K.
