(e)        In March 2004, the Compensation and Management Development Committee of the Board of Directors of Macy's, Inc. (the "Company") authorized a stock credit plan for its senior executives, including ten of its Section 16 reporting officers (which includes the named executive officers), for the performance period covering fiscal years 2004 and 2005.  Pursuant to the stock credit plan, the executives received phantom stock units hereinafter referred to as “stock credits”.  The purpose of the stock credit plan was to align senior management's compensation with the interests of the Company's shareholders and the Company's performance, including achievement of objectives relating to the Company’s Four Priorities for the 2004 and 2005 fiscal years.

 

 

       In accordance with the terms of the 2004-2005 stock credit plan, earned performance-based stock credits and time-based stock credits were all subject to two-year and three-year holding periods commencing on January 29, 2006, with their ultimate value to the participants dependent on Macy's stock price.  The value of one-half of the stock credits, with dividend equivalents accrued during the two-year holding period, was required to be paid in cash to the senior executives at the conclusion of the two-year holding period (with an automatic payment on or about February 4, 2008).   The value of the remaining one-half of the stock credits, with dividend equivalents accrued during the three-year holding period, is required to be paid in cash to the senior executives at the end of the three-year holding period (with an automatic payment on or about February 2, 2009).

 

 

       In each case, the value was determined on the basis of the average closing price of Macy’s common stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange for the 20 business days preceding the payment date.  For the February 2, 2009 payment, this value was $10.03 per share.

 

 

      The named executive officers received the following amounts with respect to the 2004-2005 stock credits for which the three-year holding period ended on January 31, 2009:

 

 

                                                Stock Credit                  Dividend
