Macy's, Inc. Announces Early Tender Results and Upsizing of Debt Tender Offer

Macy's, Inc. (NYSE:M) (the "Company") today announced the early tender results of the previously announced cash tender offer (the "Tender Offer") by its wholly owned subsidiary, Macy's Retail Holdings, LLC (the "Issuer"), to purchase up to an aggregate principal amount of its outstanding notes and debentures listed in the table below (collectively, the "Notes") for an amended combined aggregate purchase price of $250 million (excluding accrued and unpaid interest, which also will be paid to, but excluding, the applicable Settlement Date and excluding fees and expenses related to the Tender Offer) (the "Maximum Tender Offer Amount"), in the order of priority shown in the table. The Company has amended the terms of the Tender Offer to increase the Maximum Tender Offer Amount from $175 million to $250 million.

The terms and conditions of the Tender Offer are described in an Offer to Purchase dated July 14, 2025, as modified by this release, the "Offer to Purchase". The Tender Offer is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions as set forth in the Offer to Purchase, including the Financing Condition (as described herein). Capitalized terms used in this press release and not defined herein have the meanings given to them in the Offer to Purchase.

The aggregate principal amount of Notes of each series that were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 25, 2025 (the "Early Tender Date"), as reported by the tender agent, and the aggregate principal amount of each series of Notes the Issuer will accept for purchase on the Early Settlement Date (as defined below) are specified in the table below. The amount of each series of Notes the Issuer will accept for purchase on the Early Settlement Date (as defined below) will be subject to the applicable proration factor specified in the table below, as determined in accordance with the acceptance priority levels and the proration procedures described in the Offer to Purchase and in this press release.

The Tender Offer is subject to, and conditioned upon, the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions described in the Offer to Purchase, including the completion of the Issuer's separately announced offering of new senior notes (the "New Notes Offering") on terms satisfactory to the Issuer, in its sole discretion, prior to or on the Early Settlement Date (such condition, the "Financing Condition") and certain general conditions, in each case as described in more detail in the Offer to Purchase. The Tender Offer is not conditioned upon any minimum amount of Notes being tendered, and the Tender Offer may be amended, extended or terminated.

Although the Tender Offer is scheduled to expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 11, 2025 (the "Expiration Date"), because holders of Notes subject to the Tender Offer validly tendered and did not validly withdraw Notes on or before the Early Tender Date in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Tender Offer Amount, the Issuer does not expect to accept for purchase any tenders of Notes after the Early Tender Date.

The settlement date for Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn on or prior to the Early Tender Date and accepted for purchase will be July 29, 2025 (the "Early Settlement Date"), subject to the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions to the Tender Offer described in the Offer to Purchase. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer, holders who tendered their Notes on or prior to the Early Tender Date and whose Notes are accepted for purchase will receive the applicable total tender offer consideration set forth in the table above for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer (the "Total Tender Offer Consideration"), which includes an early tender premium of $30.00 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes. In addition to the applicable Total Tender Offer Consideration, all holders of Notes accepted for purchase on the Early Settlement Date will receive accrued and unpaid interest on their Notes purchased from the last interest payment date with respect to such Notes up to, but not including, the Early Settlement Date.

The total principal amount of Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn as of the Early Tender Date has an aggregate purchase price exceeding the Maximum Tender Offer Amount. As a result, and based on the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer:

• all of the 6.790% Senior Debentures due 2027 that were tendered as of the Early Tender Date will be accepted for purchase on the Early Settlement Date;
• all of the 7.875% Senior Debentures due 2030 that were tendered as of the Early Tender Date will be accepted for purchase on the Early Settlement Date;
• all of the 7.875% Senior Exchanged Debentures due 2030 that were tendered as of the Early Tender Date will be accepted for purchase on the Early Settlement Date;
• $223,883,000 aggregate principal amount of the 5.875% Senior Notes due 2030 that were tendered as of the Early Tender Date will be accepted for purchase on the Early Settlement Date; and
• no Notes tendered after the Early Tender Date and prior to the Expiration Date (as defined below) will be accepted for purchase in the Tender Offer.

Any Notes tendered but not accepted for purchase in the Tender Offer will be promptly credited to the account of the registered holder of such Notes with The Depository Trust Company and otherwise returned in accordance with the Offer to Purchase.

The Issuer intends to use proceeds from the New Notes Offering, together with cash on hand, to (i) purchase the Notes subject to the Tender Offer, (ii) redeem approximately $587 million of certain of its existing outstanding senior notes and debentures and (iii) pay fees, premium and expenses in connection therewith.
