&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. All other reports filed by the registrant pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "1934 Act") since February 1, 2025.

This Item is not applicable to shares of common stock being offered pursuant to the registrant's 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan.

------

Fifty million dollars ($50,000,000) of Deferred Compensation Obligations (the "Obligations") are being registered under this Registration Statement. Under the Best Buy Co., Inc. Sixth Amended and Restated Deferred Compensation Plan (the "DC Plan"), the registrant will provide eligible employees and directors the opportunity to enter into agreements for the deferral of a specified amount or percentage of their future cash compensation. In connection with the DC Plan, the registrant has created a grantor trust, commonly known as a "Rabbi Trust." The assets of the Rabbi Trust will be used to pay benefits. The assets of the Rabbi Trust are subject to the claims of general creditors of the registrant. As a result, the Obligations. will be general unsecured obligations of the registrant to pay deferred compensation in the future to each participating employee or director (each a "Participant") in accordance with the terms of the DC Plan. The Obligations will rank equally with other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the registrant from time to time outstanding.

Moreover, because the registrant maintains operating subsidiaries, the right of the registrant and, therefore, the right of the creditors of the registrant (including participants in the DC Plan), to participate in any distribution of the assets of any subsidiary upon its liquidation or reorganization or otherwise is necessarily subject to the prior claims of creditors of the subsidiary, except to the extent that claims of the registrant itself as a creditor of the subsidiary may be recognized.

The amount of compensation to be deferred by each Participant will be determined in accordance with the DC Plan based on elections by each Participant. Each Obligation will be indexed to one or more available investment or measurement funds chosen by each Participant from a list of investment media. The Obligations will be adjusted to reflect the investment experience, whether positive or negative, of the selected investment or measurement fund(s), including any appreciation or depreciation. The Obligations will be denominated and be payable in United States dollars generally upon termination of employment or on a date or dates selected by the Participant in accordance with the terms of the DC Plan. The DC Plan is not required to be funded and the amount of compensation deferred by each Participant is part of the general funds of the registrant, is subject to all the risks of the registrant's business and may be deposited, invested or expended in any manner whatsoever by the registrant.

A Participant's right or the right of any other person to the Obligations cannot be assigned, alienated, sold, garnished, transferred, pledged or encumbered except by a written designation of a beneficiary under the DC Plan, by written will, or by the laws of descent and distribution.

The Obligations are not subject to redemption, in whole or in part, prior to the individual payment dates specified by each Participant except in the event of extreme financial hardship of a Participant or termination of his or her employment, although the Obligations could be redeemed in case of termination of the DC Plan. However, the registrant reserves the right to amend or terminate the DC Plan at any time, except that no such amendment or termination shall adversely affect the right of each Participant to the vested balance of his or her deferred account as of the date of such amendment or termination.

The Obligations are not convertible into another security of the registrant. The Obligations will not have the benefit of a negative pledge or any other affirmative or negative covenant on the part of the registrant.

The registrant is subject to the Minnesota Business Corporation Act, Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 302A. Minnesota Statutes, Section 302A.521, subd. 2, provides that a corporation shall indemnify a person made or threatened to be made a party to a proceeding by reason of the former or present official capacity of the person against judgments, penalties, fines, including, without limitation, excise taxes assessed against such person with respect to an employee benefit plan, settlements, and reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees and disbursements, incurred by the person in connection with the proceeding, if, with respect to the acts or omissions of the person complained of in the proceeding, such person: (1) has not been indemnified by another organization or employee benefit plan for the same judgments, penalties, fines, including, without limitation, excise taxes assessed against the person with respect to an employee benefit plan, settlements, and reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees and disbursements, incurred by the person in connection with the proceeding with respect to the same acts or omissions; (2) acted in good faith; (3) received no improper personal benefit and Section 302A.255 (with respect to director conflicts of interest), if applicable, has been satisfied; (4) in the case of a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful; and (5) in the case of acts or omissions occurring in the person's official capacity for the corporation, reasonably believed that the conduct was in the best interests of the corporation, or, in the case of acts or omissions occurring in the person's official capacity for another affiliated organization, reasonably believed that the conduct was not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. If the person's acts or omissions complained of in the proceeding relate to conduct as a director, officer, trustee, employee, or agent of an employee benefit plan, the conduct is not considered to be opposed to the best interests of the corporation if the person reasonably believed that the conduct was in the best interests of the participants or beneficiaries of the employee benefit plan.

In addition, the registrant's articles of incorporation provide that a director of the registrant shall not be personally liable to the registrant or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director except for liability (1) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the registrant or its shareholders; (2) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (3) under Minnesota Statutes, Section 302A.559, for making an improper distribution; (4) under Minnesota Statutes, Section 80A.76, for violating the securities registration or anti-fraud provisions; (5) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit; or (6) for acts or omissions occurring prior to the date when the relevant provision of the articles of incorporation became effective. The registrant's articles of incorporation are consistent with the Minnesota Business Corporation Act and if such act is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the registrant would be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by Minnesota law.

The registrant has directors' and officers' liability insurance which is subject to various deductibles and exclusions from coverage.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "1933 Act");

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change
 in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered)
 and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more
 than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective Registration Statement; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement.

<u>Provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii), above, do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the 1933 Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at
 that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the 1933 Act, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act (and where
 applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new
 registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the 1933 Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised
 that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
 registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with
 the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
 against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

------

#### SIGNATURES

Best Buy Co., Inc.

Richfield, MN 55423

Re: <u>Registration Statement on Form S-8</u>

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to Best Buy Co., Inc., a Minnesota corporation (the "Company"), in connection with a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement") filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), relating to 15,730,000 shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.10 per share (the "Shares"), to be issued by the Company under the Best Buy Co., Inc. 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "Omnibus Plan") and $50,000,000 of deferred compensation obligations (the "Obligations") which represent unsecured obligations of the Company to pay deferred compensation in the future in accordance with the terms of the Best Buy Co., Inc. Sixth Amended and Restated Deferred Compensation Plan (the "DC Plan").

We have examined such documents and have reviewed such questions of law as we have considered necessary or appropriate for the purposes of our opinions set forth below. In rendering our opinions set forth below, we have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the genuineness of all signatures and the conformity to authentic originals of all documents submitted to us as copies. We have also assumed the legal capacity for all purposes relevant hereto of all natural persons and, with respect to all parties to agreements or instruments relevant hereto other than the Company, that such parties had the requisite power and authority (corporate or otherwise) to execute, deliver and perform such agreements or instruments, that such agreements or instruments have been duly authorized by all requisite action (corporate or otherwise), executed and delivered by such parties and that such agreements or instruments are the valid, binding and enforceable obligations of such parties. As to questions of fact material to our opinions, we have relied upon certificates or comparable documents of officers and other representatives of the Company and of public officials.

Best Buy Co., Inc.

September 17, 2025

Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion as of the date hereof that the Shares, when issued and delivered in accordance with the terms of the Omnibus Plan, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and the Obligations, when issued and delivered in accordance with the terms of the DC Plan, will be valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors' rights or general equity principles..

In addition, the DC Plan is designed to be a top-hat plan for the purposes of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees within the meaning of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"). The provisions of the written DC Plan document comply with the ERISA requirements applicable to top-hat plans. We express no opinion as to whether the DC Plan is being operated by the Company as a top-hat plan under ERISA, or whether the employees that the Company has deemed eligible to participate in the Plan would constitute a select group of management or highly compensated employees.

Our opinions expressed above are limited to Title I of ERISA and the Minnesota Business Corporation Act.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

Very truly yours,

/s/ Dorsey & Whitney LLP <br>
