Item 1.01

Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

     On August 30, 2007, Macy's, Inc. (formerly known as Federated Department Stores, Inc.) ("Macy's") and its wholly owned subsidiary, Macy's Retail Holdings, Inc. (formerly known as Federated Retail Holdings, Inc.) ("MRHI") entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and paying agent, Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. and Banc of America Securities LLC, as joint bookrunners and joint lead arrangers, and the other lenders party thereto (the "Amended Credit Agreement").  The Amended Credit Agreement provides MRHI, as borrower, with unsecured revolving loans in an aggregate amount not to exceed $2.0 billion outstanding at any particular time, including a $1.0 billion sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit and related accommodations.  The Amended Credit Agreement amends the five-year bank credit agreement, dated August 30, 2005, as previously amended and restated on August 30, 2006 (the "Original Credit Agreement"), to extend the term of the Original Credit Agreement by an additional year (to August 30, 2012) and add mechanics for requesting two additional one-year extensions of the termination date.  The other material terms of the Original Credit Agreement remain unchanged.

 

     In connection with the execution of the Amended Credit Agreement, Macy's, MRHI and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as paying agent, entered into an Amended and Restated Guarantee Agreement on August 30, 2007 (the "Guarantee Agreement") whereby Macy's agreed to guarantee the obligations of MRHI under the Amended Credit Agreement.

 

     As of August 30, 2007, there was an aggregate principal amount of approximately $32.7 million outstanding under the Amended Credit Agreement, representing letter of credit accommodations.

 

     Copies of the Amended Credit Agreement and the associated Guarantee Agreement are attached to this report as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 and each is incorporated herein by reference as though it were fully set forth herein.
