provision limiting the liability of its directors and officers to the corporation and its stockholders for money damages except for liability resulting from (1)&nbsp;active and deliberate dishonesty which is established by a final judgment and is
material to that cause of action, or (2)&nbsp;actual receipt of an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services. The Company&#146;s Articles of Amendment and Restatement, as further amended, corrected and supplemented (the
&#147;Charter&#148;) includes a provision that eliminates the liability of the Company&#146;s directors and officers to the Company and to its stockholders for money damages to the fullest extent permitted by the MGCL. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Charter and the Company&#146;s Amended and Restated Bylaws (the &#147;Bylaws&#148;) require the Company
to indemnify its present and former officers and directors, whether serving the Company or at its request another entity, to the maximum extent permitted under the MGCL, and to pay or reimburse reasonable expenses in advance of the final disposition
of the proceeding to the maximum extent permitted from time to time by the laws of Maryland. The Bylaws also permit the Company, with the approval of the Company&#146;s board of directors, to indemnify and advance expenses to any person who served a
predecessor of the Company in any of the capacities described above and to any employee or agent of the Company or a predecessor of the Company. The Charter and Bylaws provide that the indemnification rights
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">are&nbsp;non-exclusive&nbsp;of</FONT> any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled. The MGCL permits a corporation to indemnify its present and former directors and officers, among others,
against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses actually incurred by them in connection with any proceeding to which they may be made or are threatened to be made a party or witness by reason of their service in those or
other capacities unless it is established that (1)&nbsp;the act or omission of the director or officer was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and (a)&nbsp;was committed in bad faith, or (b)&nbsp;was the result of active and
deliberate dishonesty; (2)&nbsp;the director or officer actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services; or (3)&nbsp;in the case of any criminal proceeding, the director or officer had reasonable cause to believe that
the act or omission was unlawful. In addition, the MGCL requires the Company, as conditions to advancing expenses, to obtain (1)&nbsp;a written affirmation by the director or officer of his or her good faith belief that he or she has met the
standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the Company and (2)&nbsp;a written undertaking by him or her or on his or her behalf to repay the amount paid or reimbursed by the Company if it is ultimately determined that the standard of
conduct was not met. The MGCL requires a corporation (unless its charter provides otherwise, which the Charter does not) to indemnify a director or officer who has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to
which he or she is made or threatened to be made a party by reason of his or her service in that capacity. However, under the MGCL, a Maryland corporation may not indemnify a director or officer for an adverse judgment in a suit by or in the right
of the corporation or for a judgment of liability on the basis that a personal benefit was improperly received unless in either case, a court orders indemnification and then only for expenses. The Bylaws specify the procedures for indemnification
and advance of expenses. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership also provides for indemnification of the Company and its officers and
directors similar to that provided to the Company&#146;s officers and directors in the Charter and Bylaws, and includes limitations on the liability of the Company and its officers and directors to the Operating Partnership and its partners similar
to those contained in the Charter and Bylaws. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company and the Operating Partnership have entered into indemnification agreements with the
Company&#146;s directors and certain of its executive officers. The indemnification agreements require, among other things, that the Company and the Operating Partnership indemnify those directors and executive officers to the fullest extent
permitted by law, and advance to them all related reasonable expenses, subject to certain defenses. The Company and the Operating Partnership must also indemnify and advance all expenses incurred by those directors and executive officers seeking to
enforce their rights under the indemnification agreements, and cover them under the Company&#146;s director&#146;s and officer&#146;s liability insurance. Although the indemnification agreements offer substantially the same scope of coverage
afforded by provisions in the Charter and Bylaws and the partnership agreement, it provides greater assurance to directors and officers that indemnification will be available, because, as a contract, it cannot be modified unilaterally in the future
by the Company&#146;s board of directors, by the Company&#146;s stockholders or by the partners of the Operating Partnership to eliminate the rights it provides. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement: </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; text-indent:9%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">(i) To include any prospectus required by Section&nbsp;10(a)(3) of the Securities Act; </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; text-indent:9%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the
most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of
securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with
the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the &#147;Calculation of Filing Fee Tables&#148; or
&#147;Calculation of Registration Fee&#148; table, as applicable, in the effective registration statement; and </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; text-indent:9%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">(iii) To
include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;</P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>provided, however</I>, that paragraphs (1)(i), (1)(ii) and (1)(iii) of this section do not apply if the information required to be included
in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section&nbsp;13 or Section&nbsp;15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the
registration statement. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective
amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">(4) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
registrant&#146;s annual report pursuant to Section&nbsp;13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan&#146;s annual report pursuant to Section&nbsp;15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated
by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">(5) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of
any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. </P>

EXPLANATORY NOTE
On February 5, 2024, The Macerich Company (the "Company") announced that Jackson Hsieh will be appointed to the role of Chief Executive Officer
and President of the Company, effective as of March 1, 2024. This Registration Statement on Form
S-8
is being filed to register shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.01 per share
("common stock"), issuable to Mr. Hsieh pursuant to the inducement awards described below that will be granted effective March 1, 2024 contingent upon Mr. Hsieh's commencement of employment (collectively, the
"Inducement Awards"):
•
a
sign-on
equity grant of Company Long-Term Incentive ("LTIP")
units having a grant date fair value equal to $5,000,000, which award is subject to time-based vesting;
•
an annual equity grant of LTIP units having a grant date fair value equal to $2,275,000, which award is subject
to time-based vesting; and
•
an annual equity grant of LTIP units having a grant date fair value equal to $4,225,000, which award is subject
to performance-based vesting pursuant to which up to 225% of the initially granted LTIP units may be earned at maximum performance.
The
Inducement Awards were approved by the Company's board of directors and were granted outside of The Macerich Company 2003 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended and restated, the "Equity Plan") in reliance on New York Stock Exchange (the
"NYSE") Listing Rule 303A.08, which exempts "employment inducement grants" from the general requirement under the NYSE Listing Rules that all equity compensation plans be approved by stockholders.
Each of the Inducement Awards are subject to the terms of the applicable award agreement and will generally have the same terms and conditions as LTIP units
granted under the Company's Long-Term Incentive Program and the Equity Plan. Upon the occurrence of specified events and subject to the satisfaction of applicable vesting conditions, any LTIP units earned pursuant to the Inducement Awards
(after conversion into common units of The Macerich Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Operating Partnership")) are ultimately redeemable for shares of the Company's common stock, or cash at the Company's
option, on a
one-unit
for
one-share
basis. This Registration Statement on Form
S-8
assumes, with respect to the shares of common
stock that may be issued hereunder, that maximum performance is achieved for the portion of the Inducement Awards subject to performance-based vesting.
PART I

Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsels.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors
and Officers.
The Maryland General Corporation Law (the "MGCL") permits a corporation formed in Maryland to include in its charter a
provision limiting the liability of its directors and officers to the corporation and its stockholders for money damages except for liability resulting from (1) active and deliberate dishonesty which is established by a final judgment and is
material to that cause of action, or (2) actual receipt of an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services. The Company's Articles of Amendment and Restatement, as further amended, corrected and supplemented (the
"Charter") includes a provision that eliminates the liability of the Company's directors and officers to the Company and to its stockholders for money damages to the fullest extent permitted by the MGCL.
3
The Charter and the Company's Amended and Restated Bylaws (the "Bylaws") require the Company
to indemnify its present and former officers and directors, whether serving the Company or at its request another entity, to the maximum extent permitted under the MGCL, and to pay or reimburse reasonable expenses in advance of the final disposition
of the proceeding to the maximum extent permitted from time to time by the laws of Maryland. The Bylaws also permit the Company, with the approval of the Company's board of directors, to indemnify and advance expenses to any person who served a
predecessor of the Company in any of the capacities described above and to any employee or agent of the Company or a predecessor of the Company. The Charter and Bylaws provide that the indemnification rights
are non-exclusive of
any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled. The MGCL permits a corporation to indemnify its present and former directors and officers, among others,
against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses actually incurred by them in connection with any proceeding to which they may be made or are threatened to be made a party or witness by reason of their service in those or
other capacities unless it is established that (1) the act or omission of the director or officer was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and (a) was committed in bad faith, or (b) was the result of active and
deliberate dishonesty; (2) the director or officer actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services; or (3) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the director or officer had reasonable cause to believe that
the act or omission was unlawful. In addition, the MGCL requires the Company, as conditions to advancing expenses, to obtain (1) a written affirmation by the director or officer of his or her good faith belief that he or she has met the
standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the Company and (2) a written undertaking by him or her or on his or her behalf to repay the amount paid or reimbursed by the Company if it is ultimately determined that the standard of
conduct was not met. The MGCL requires a corporation (unless its charter provides otherwise, which the Charter does not) to indemnify a director or officer who has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to
which he or she is made or threatened to be made a party by reason of his or her service in that capacity. However, under the MGCL, a Maryland corporation may not indemnify a director or officer for an adverse judgment in a suit by or in the right
of the corporation or for a judgment of liability on the basis that a personal benefit was improperly received unless in either case, a court orders indemnification and then only for expenses. The Bylaws specify the procedures for indemnification
and advance of expenses.
The partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership also provides for indemnification of the Company and its officers and
directors similar to that provided to the Company's officers and directors in the Charter and Bylaws, and includes limitations on the liability of the Company and its officers and directors to the Operating Partnership and its partners similar
to those contained in the Charter and Bylaws.
The Company and the Operating Partnership have entered into indemnification agreements with the
Company's directors and certain of its executive officers. The indemnification agreements require, among other things, that the Company and the Operating Partnership indemnify those directors and executive officers to the fullest extent
permitted by law, and advance to them all related reasonable expenses, subject to certain defenses. The Company and the Operating Partnership must also indemnify and advance all expenses incurred by those directors and executive officers seeking to
enforce their rights under the indemnification agreements, and cover them under the Company's director's and officer's liability insurance. Although the indemnification agreements offer substantially the same scope of coverage
afforded by provisions in the Charter and Bylaws and the partnership agreement, it provides greater assurance to directors and officers that indemnification will be available, because, as a contract, it cannot be modified unilaterally in the future
by the Company's board of directors, by the Company's stockholders or by the partners of the Operating Partnership to eliminate the rights it provides.

Item 9. Undertakings.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the
most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of
securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with
the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Filing Fee Tables" or
"Calculation of Registration Fee" table, as applicable, in the effective registration statement; and
(iii) To
include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
provided, however
, that paragraphs (1)(i), (1)(ii) and (1)(iii) of this section do not apply if the information required to be included
in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the
registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective
amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.
(4) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated
by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(5) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of
any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
