Item 5.02.  Departure of Directors or Certain Officer; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
On October 8, 2014, The Gap, Inc. (the "Company") issued a press release announcing the selection of Art Peck as Chief Executive Officer and Robert Fisher as non-executive Chairman of the Board effective February 1, 2015, succeeding Glenn Murphy, the current Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer since July 2007.  A copy of this press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
On October 2, 2014, Mr. Murphy informed the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") of his retirement as Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, President, and member of the Board effective January 31, 2015.  Mr. Murphy will continue as a Company employee until March 31, 2015 and his equity will continue to vest during that period.
In addition to his appointment as Chief Executive Officer and President, Mr. Peck was appointed to the Board, also effective on February 1, 2015.  Until that time, he will continue to serve as President, Growth, Innovation and Digital, the position he has held since November 2012.  Prior to that time, Mr. Peck served in a number of positions with the Company:  President, Gap North America from February 2011 to November 2012; Executive Vice President of Strategy and Operations from May 2005 to February 2011; President, Gap Inc. Outlet from October 2008 to February 2011; and Acting President, Gap Inc. Outlet from February 2008 to October 2008.
On October 3, 2014, the Company and Mr. Peck executed a letter agreement (the "Agreement").  The Agreement was approved by the Board's Compensation and Management Development Committee (the "Committee"), which is composed solely of independent directors.  The Agreement provides for compensation that is significantly performance-based.
