Application of the LIFO retail inventory method did not result in the recognition of any LIFO charges or credits affecting cost of
sales for the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2014 or May 4, 2013.

(2) Federal, state and local income taxes differ from the federal income tax statutory rate of 35%, principally because of the effect
of state and local taxes, including the settlement of various tax issues and tax examinations.

deemed to be the equivalent of interest.
The foregoing data should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements (including the notes thereto) and

(which do not include the Christmas season) are not necessarily indicative of the results for the fiscal year.
Macy's, Inc.'s independent registered public accounting firm has not audited any of the information set forth above. Macy's,
Inc.'s independent registered public accounting firm will audit Macy's financial statements for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2015

DESCRIPTION OF NOTES
The senior notes will be issued under an indenture, dated as of January 13, 2012 (the "Base Indenture"), among Macy's
Holdings, as issuer, Macy's, Inc., as guarantor, and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the "Trustee"),
as supplemented by a Sixth Supplemental Trust Indenture, to be dated as of May 23, 2014 (the "Sixth Supplemental Indenture") and
together with the Base Indenture, the "Indenture") relating to the senior notes. The following discussion includes a summary
description of certain material terms of the Indenture. Because this is a summary, it does not include all of the information that is
included in the Indenture, including the definitions of certain terms used below. You should read the Indenture carefully and in its
entirety. You may request a copy of the Indenture at Macy's, Inc.'s address set forth under the caption "Where You Can Find More
Information" in the accompanying prospectus.
General
The senior notes are senior unsecured obligations of Macy's Holdings. The senior notes constitute a series of notes that will
initially be limited to $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount and will mature on June 1, 2024. Macy's Holdings will issue the
senior notes in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The senior notes will bear
interest at the applicable rate per year shown on the cover page of this prospectus supplement from May 23, 2014. Macy's Holdings
will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year commencing on December 1, 2014 to the Person in
whose name the senior notes (or any predecessor note) is registered at the close of business on May 15 or November 15,
respectively, preceding such interest payment date. Interest on the senior notes will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year
consisting of 12 months of 30 days each.
The senior notes will be exchangeable and transfers thereof will be registrable, at an office or agency of Macy's Holdings,
one of which will be maintained for such purpose in New York, New York (which initially will be the corporate trust office of the
Trustee) or such other office or agency permitted under the Indenture.
The senior notes will rank equal in right of payment to any other existing or future senior unsecured obligations of Macy's
Holdings. The senior notes will not be subject to any sinking fund.
Macy's Holdings does not intend to list the senior notes on a national securities exchange.
The Indenture does not contain any provisions that would limit the ability of Macy's Holdings to incur indebtedness or
require the maintenance of financial ratios or specified levels of net worth or liquidity. However, the Indenture does:

· provide that, subject to certain exceptions, neither Macy's Holdings nor any Restricted Subsidiary will subject its

property or assets to any mortgage or other encumbrance unless the senior notes are secured equally and ratably with
such other indebtedness thereby secured; and

· contain certain limitations on the ability of Macy's Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries to enter into certain sale

and leaseback arrangements.
Guarantee
The obligations of Macy's Holdings under the senior notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed (the "Guarantee")
on a senior unsecured basis by Macy's, Inc. The Guarantee will rank equal in right of payment to all other existing and future senior
unsecured obligations of Macy's, Inc.
Further Issuances
Macy's Holdings may, from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the holders of the senior notes, increase the
principal amount of the senior notes under the Indenture and issue such increased principal

amount (or any portion thereof), in which case any additional notes so issued will have the same form and terms (other than the date
of issuance and, under certain circumstances, the date from which interest thereon will begin to accrue), and will carry the same right
to receive accrued and unpaid interest, as the senior notes previously issued, and such additional notes will form a single series with
the senior notes.
Redemption
Macy's Holdings may, at its option, redeem the senior notes, at any time in whole or from time to time in part, prior to
March 1, 2024 (three months prior to the maturity date) on not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' prior notice transmitted to the
holders of the senior notes to be redeemed. The senior notes will be so redeemable at a redemption price, plus accrued interest to the
date of redemption, equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the senior notes to be redeemed and (2) the sum of the
remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the senior notes to be redeemed that would be due after the related
redemption date but for such redemption (except that, if such redemption date is not an interest payment date with respect to the senior
notes, the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued thereon to the
redemption date), discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day
months) at the Treasury Rate plus 20 basis points.
At any time on and after March 1, 2024 (three months prior to the maturity date), Macy's Holdings may, at its option, redeem
the senior notes in whole or from time to time in part on not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' prior notice transmitted to the holders
of senior notes to be redeemed. The senior notes will be so redeemable at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount
of the senior notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest on the senior notes to be redeemed to the date of redemption.
"Comparable Treasury Issue" means the United States Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment Banker that
would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate
debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of the senior notes. "Independent Investment Banker" means one of the
Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by Macy's Holdings.
"Comparable Treasury Price" means, with respect to any redemption date, (1) the average of the bid and asked prices for
the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) on the third business day preceding
such redemption date, as set forth in the daily statistical release (or any successor release) published by the Federal Reserve Bank of
New York and designated "Composite 3:30 p.m. Quotations for U.S. Government Securities" or (2) if such release (or any successor
release) is not published or does not contain such prices on such business day, (a) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer
Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest of such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (b) if
Macy's Holdings obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such Quotations.
"Reference Treasury Dealer" means each of Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Merrill
Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and their respective successors and one other nationally recognized investment banking
firm that is a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City (a "Primary Treasury Dealer") specified from time to
time by Macy's Holdings, except that if any of the foregoing ceases to be a Primary Treasury Dealer, Macy's Holdings is required to
designate as a substitute another nationally recognized investment banking firm that is a Primary Treasury Dealer.
"Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations" means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date,
the average, as determined by Macy's Holdings, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each
case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to Macy's Holdings by such Reference Treasury Dealer as of 3:30
p.m., New York City time, on the third business day preceding such redemption date.
