Item 8.01 Other Events
On July 14, 2025, Macy’s, Inc. (the “Company”) announced 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 Offering”). The Notes will be senior unsecured obligations of the Issuer and will be unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Company. In connection with the Notes Offering, the Company also announced that the Issuer will be conducting a tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) to repurchase certain of its outstanding senior notes and debentures, subject to a maximum tender offer amount representing a combined aggregate purchase price of up to $175 million (excluding accrued and unpaid interest and excluding fees and expenses related to the Tender Offer). The Issuer intends to use the proceeds from the Notes Offering, together with cash on hand, to (i) fund the Tender Offer, (ii) redeem approximately $587 million of certain other outstanding senior notes and debentures as described further below (the “Redemption”) and (iii) pay fees, premium and expenses in connection with the foregoing.
On July 14, 2025, the Company issued conditional notices of redemption to the applicable trustee providing for the redemption of all of its outstanding (i) 6.700% Senior Exchanged Debentures due 2028, (ii) 5.875% Senior Notes due 2029 and (iii) 8.750% Senior Exchanged Debentures due 2029, in each case, at the applicable redemption price set forth in the applicable indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date. The redemption date for each of the three series of redeemed debt securities will be July 29, 2025. The conditional notices of redemption are conditioned upon the consummation of the Notes Offering.
In addition, upon the consummation of the Notes Offering, the Company intends to issue irrevocable notices of redemption providing for the redemption of all of its outstanding (i) 7.00% Senior Debentures due 2028, (ii) 6.700% Senior Debentures due 2028, (iii) 6.900% Senior Debentures due 2029 and (iv) 8.750% Senior Debentures due 2029, in each case, at the applicable redemption price set forth in the applicable indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date. The redemption date for each of the four series of redeemed debt securities is expected to be August 28, 2025.
The Tender Offer is conditioned on, among other things, the consummation of the Notes Offering. This Current Report on Form 8-K does not constitute (i) an offer to purchase or solicitation of an offer to sell any of the notes subject to the Tender Offer or (ii) a notice of redemption of any of the notes subject to the Redemption.
On July 14, 2025, the Company issued separate press releases announcing the commencement of the Notes Offering and the Tender Offer. Copies of the press releases are attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2 and incorporated herein by reference.
