He who will retire in February. Executive Vice President of U.S. Operations Tim Sheehan will also leave the Richfield-based retailer at the end of October.

CEO Hubert Joly took over as chief executive officer in early September. He's working to turn around the struggling consumer electronics giant.

Best Buy also gave a dismal preview of its third-quarter figures on Wednesday, predicting net come would be "significantly below" last year, the Associated Press reports.

The Star Tribune also reports Hubert Joly will discuss his strategies with investors on Nov. 1. That's just two weeks before Best Buy's largest shareholder Richard Schulze is expected to submit a proposal to take the company he founded private.

Schulze abruptly cut ties with Best Buy in June after an internal investigation found he withheld information from the board about former CEO Brian Dunn's inappropriate relationship with a female employee.
