NEW YORK—July 14, 2025—Macy’s, Inc. (NYSE: M) (the “Company”) announced today that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Macy’s Retail Holdings, LLC (the “Issuer”), intends to offer, subject to market and other customary conditions, $500 million in aggregate principal amount of senior notes due 2033 (the “Notes”) in a private offering. The Notes will be senior unsecured obligations of the Issuer and will be unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Company.

The Issuer intends to use the proceeds from the offering of the Notes, together with cash on hand, to (i) fund its separately announced concurrent tender offer (the “Tender Offer”), (ii) redeem approximately $587 million of certain of its existing outstanding senior notes and debentures (such redemption, the “Redemption”) and (iii) pay fees, premium and expenses in connection therewith and this offering. The Redemption and the Tender Offer are conditioned on, among other things, the consummation of the offering of the Notes. The offering of the Notes, however, is not conditioned on the consummation of the Redemption or the Tender Offer (including the tender of any specified amount of the Company’s outstanding senior notes as part of the Tender Offer). This press release does not constitute an offer to purchase, a solicitation of an offer to sell or a notice with respect to any tender offer or redemption of any existing notes.

This press release is for informational purposes only and is neither an offer to sell nor the solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes or any other securities and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offering, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. Any offers of the Notes will be made only by means of a private offering memorandum. The Notes are being offered only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in an offering exempt from registration in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Notes and related guarantees have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States without registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws. This press release is being issued pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 135c under the Securities Act.

All statements in this press release regarding the notes offering and the expected use of proceeds therefrom that are not statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of the Company's management and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those expressed in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in this release because of a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the ability to complete the offering on favorable terms, if at all, general market conditions which might affect the offering, and other factors identified in documents filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including under the captions “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 1, 2025 and the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended May 3, 2025. The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

NEW YORK—July 14, 2025—Macy’s, Inc. (NYSE:M) (the “Company”) today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Macy’s Retail Holdings, LLC (the “Issuer”), has commenced a cash tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) to purchase up to an aggregate principal amount of its outstanding notes and debentures listed in the table below (collectively, the “Notes”) for a combined aggregate purchase price of up to $175 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 terms and conditions of the Tender Offer are described in an Offer to Purchase dated July 14, 2025 (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.

(1)    Per $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase for each Series. Excludes accrued and unpaid interest, which also will be paid to, but excluding, the applicable Settlement Date.

(2)    Per $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase for each Series (the “Early Tender Premium”).

(3)    Per $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered on or before the Early Tender Date, not validly withdrawn and accepted for purchase for each Series. Includes the Early Tender Premium, but excludes accrued and unpaid interest, which also will be paid to, but excluding, the applicable Settlement Date.

The amounts of each series of Notes that are purchased in the Tender Offer will be determined in accordance with the priorities identified in the column “Acceptance Priority Level” in the table above with “1” having the highest priority and “3” having the lowest priority. The Tender Offer may be subject to proration if the aggregate principal amount of Notes that is validly tendered and not validly withdrawn would otherwise cause the Maximum Tender Offer Amount to be exceeded, with equal proration applied for Notes having the same Acceptance Priority Level, if applicable.

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.

The Tender Offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 11, 2025, unless extended (such date and time, as the same may be extended, the “Expiration Date”) or earlier terminated. In order to receive the applicable Total Tender Offer Consideration, holders of Notes subject to the Tender Offer must validly tender and not validly withdraw their Notes on or before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 25, 2025, unless extended (such date and time, as the same may be extended, the “Early Tender Date”). Holders of Notes subject to the Tender Offer who validly tender their Notes after the Early Tender Date and on or before the Expiration Date and whose Notes are accepted for purchase, will receive the applicable Tender Offer Consideration, assuming the Maximum Tender Offer Amount is not purchased on the Early Settlement Date (as defined below). If the Maximum Tender Offer Amount is fully purchased as of the Early Settlement Date, holders who validly tender Notes after the Early Tender Date will not have any of their Notes accepted for purchase.

The applicable Total Tender Offer Consideration for each $1,000 in principal amount of Notes tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Date and accepted for payment pursuant to the Tender Offer is described in the table above. The Tender Offer Consideration is the applicable Total Tender Offer Consideration minus the applicable Early Tender Premium for each series of Notes as set forth in the table above.

In addition to the applicable Total Tender Offer Consideration or applicable Tender Offer Consideration, as the case may be, accrued and unpaid interest up to, but excluding, the applicable Settlement Date (as defined below) will be paid in cash on all validly tendered Notes accepted for purchase in the Tender Offer. With respect to any valid tender of any 6.790% Senior Debentures due 2027, 7.875% Senior Debentures due 2030 or 7.875% Senior Exchanged Debentures due 2030 (collectively, the “Eligible Notes”) accepted for purchase by the Issuer, the Issuer will also pay a soliciting broker fee of $2.50 per $1,000 principal amount of such series of Eligible Notes to retail brokers that are appropriately designated by their beneficial holder clients to receive this fee (except for Eligible Notes tendered by a retail broker for its own account), provided that such fee will only be paid with respect to tenders by beneficial holders whose aggregate principal amount of such series of Eligible Notes is $250,000 or less. The Total Tender Offer Consideration plus accrued and unpaid interest for Notes that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn on or before the Early Tender Date and accepted for purchase will be paid by the Issuer in same day funds promptly following the Early Tender Date (the “Early Settlement Date”). The Issuer expects that the Early Settlement Date will be as early as July 29, 2025. The Tender Offer Consideration plus accrued and unpaid interest for Notes that are validly tendered after the Early Tender Date and on or before the Expiration Date and accepted for purchase will be paid by the Issuer in same day funds promptly following the Expiration Date (the “Final Settlement Date” and together with the Early Settlement Date, the “Settlement Dates”). The Issuer expects that the Final Settlement Date will be August 13, 2025, assuming the Maximum Tender Offer Amount is not purchased on the Early Settlement Date. No tenders will be valid if submitted after the Expiration Date. If the Issuer purchases the Maximum Tender Offer Amount of Notes on the Early Settlement Date, holders who validly tender Notes after the Early Tender Date but on or before the Expiration Date will not have any of their Notes accepted for purchase. Holders of Notes subject to the Tender Offer who validly tender their Notes on or before the Early Tender Date may not withdraw their Notes after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 25, 2025, unless extended (such date and time, as the same may be extended, the “Withdrawal Date”), except in the limited circumstances described in the Offer to Purchase. Holders of Notes subject to the Tender Offer who validly tender their Notes after the Withdrawal Date but on or before the Expiration Date may not withdraw their Notes except in the limited circumstances described in the Offer to Purchase.

The Issuer expects to pay the Total Tender Offer Consideration or Tender Offer Consideration on any Notes validly tendered, not validly withdrawn, and accepted for purchase with proceeds from the New Notes Offering.
