(1) Reflects matching contributions under the Issuer's 401(k) plan, derived by dividing the value of the undivided interest of the reporting person in the applicable investment fund as of March 20, 2009 by $8.00, the stock price of such date.
(2) Grant to reporting person of options to purchase 108,695 shares of common stock under the Issuer's 1994 Executive Equity Incentive Plan. The options become exercisable in 25% increments on March 20, 2010, March 20, 2011, March 20, 2012 and March 20, 2013.
(3) Each Performance Restricted Stock Unit ("unit") represents a contingent right to receive one share of Macy's common stock. The units will be earned on January 28, 2012, at the end of a 3 year performance period, depending upon the achievement of certain relative total shareholder return performance ("TSR") objectives. If Macy's TSR for the performance period is equal to or less than the 50th percentile of TSR for a defined peer group for the period, then all units are forfeited. If Macy's TSR for the performance period is above the 50th percentile but equal to or below the 66th percentile TSR for the peer group, then 75% of the units will be earned. If Macy's TSR for the performance period is above the 66th percentile TSR for the peer group, then 100% of the units will be earned.
