  incorporation provides, as do the charters of many other publicly held
  companies, that the personal liability of directors of the Company to the

  Company's certificate of incorporation and by-laws provide for the
  indemnification of the directors, officers, employees, and agents of the

  monetary damages resulting from breaches of their fiduciary duty of care. The
  Company's certificate of incorporation absolves directors of liability for
  negligence in the performance of their duties, including gross negligence.
  However, the Company's directors remain liable for breaches of their duty of
  loyalty to the Company and its stockholders, as well as for acts or omissions
  not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing
  violation of law and transactions from which a director derives improper
  personal benefit. The Company's certificate of incorporation also does not
  absolve directors of liability under Section 174 of the General Corporation
  Law of the State of Delaware, which makes directors personally liable for
  unlawful dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions in certain
  circumstances and expressly sets forth a negligence standard with respect to
  such liability.</p>

  indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act

  indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
  Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling
  person of the Company 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 Company 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>

Item 4.  Description of Securities.
Common Stock
.  The Common Stock is registered
  under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act, and accordingly, no
  description is provided hereunder.
Deferred Compensation Obligations
.  The Plan
  is an unfunded deferred compensation plan.  The Plan enables key employees
  who satisfy the eligibility requirements described in the Plan to defer the
  receipt of cash compensation for personal income tax purposes.  The Deferred
  Compensation Obligations registered pursuant to this Registration Statement
  are general unsecured obligations of the Company to pay the value of the
  deferred compensation accounts of these key employees in accordance with the
  terms and conditions of the Plan.  The following brief description of the
  material terms of the Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
  terms and conditions of the Plan, which is filed as Exhibit 4.3 to this
  Registration Statement and incorporated herein by reference.  Unless defined
  herein, capitalized terms shall have the meaning given them in the Plan.
The Plan is administered by a Committee appointed by
  the Company's Board of Directors.  The Board of Directors may, in its
  absolute discretion, without notice, any time and from time to time, modify
  or amend any or all of the provisions of the Plan or suspend or terminate the
  Plan, provided that no such action will adversely affect a participant's
  rights under the Plan with respect to amounts credited to his or her account
  under the Plan.
Participation in the Plan is voluntary.  Participants
  are 100% vested in the Plan at all times.  The Plan provides that
  participants may defer up to 50% of base salary and up to 100% of any bonus
  compensation.  The amount of compensation to be deferred by each participant
  is determined in accordance with the Plan based on elections by the participant
  prior to the beginning of each Plan year.  Each participant elects to defer
  into a Cash Credit account or a Stock Credit account.  The Company maintains
  separate bookkeeping accounts for each participant. If a participant elects
  to defer into a Cash Credit account, the participant's account is credited,
  as of the end of each calendar quarter, with the dollar amount of
  compensation deferred during that calendar quarter.  At the end of each
  calendar quarter, the Cash Credit account is credited with interest at a rate
  equal to one-quarter of the percent per annum on United States Five-Year
  Treasury Bills as of the last day of such quarter.  If the participant elects
  to defer into a Stock Credit account, the participant's account is credited,
  as of the end of each calendar quarter, with a stock equivalent which is the
  number of full shares of Common Stock that is transferred to or purchased by
  the Grantor Trust (discussed below) with the amount of compensation deferred
  by the participant during the calendar quarter and with the dollar amount of
  any part of such compensation that is not convertible into a full share of
  Common Stock.  At the end of each calendar quarter, the Stock Credit account
  is credited with a dividend equivalent as declared by the Company, if any,
  upon each share of Common Stock during such calendar quarter.
Participants may receive distributions from their
  accounts upon retirement, death, termination of service, in the event of a
  designated change in control of the Company and in the event of immediate
  unexpected financial needs of the participant.  Participants, prior to
  termination, may request to receive the balance of their cash and stock
  credit accounts in one to 15 approximately equal installments. The Company's
  obligation to pay deferred compensation to a participant will be in cash, if
  the participant elected to defer his compensation into the Cash Credit
  account, or in shares of Common Stock if the participant elected to defer his
  compensation into the Stock Credit account, with the balance, if any, paid in
  cash.
A participant may designate one or more beneficiaries
  to receive any portion of the Deferred Compensation Obligations that remain
  payable following the participant's death.  Neither the participant nor any
  beneficiary may assign, pledge or otherwise dispose of any Cash Credits or
  Stock Credits.  The Cash Credits and Stock Credits are not subject to
  garnishment, attachment, transfer by operation of law, or any legal process.
The Company has established a Grantor (Rabbi) Trust,
  a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, intended to meet the safe harbor
  provisions of RevProc 92-64.  The Company transfers to the Trust or causes
  the Trust to purchase shares of Common Stock from time to time which is held
  for the benefit of all participants who have Stock Credit accounts in such
  amounts so that the number of shares at the end of each calendar quarter
  equals the number of Stock Credits in the accounts of all participants
  outstanding under the Plan.  Distributions of shares of Common Stock are made
  directly from the Trust.  The Trust is governed by and subject to the terms
  of a trust agreement entered into between the Company, as grantor, and the
  trustee.
Item 5.  Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
The legality of the Deferred Compensation Obligations
  and shares of Common Stock registered hereby has been passed upon for the
  Company by Dennis J. Broderick, Senior Vice President, General Counsel and
  Secretary of Macy's, Inc.
Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Company's certificate of
  incorporation provides, as do the charters of many other publicly held
  companies, that the personal liability of directors of the Company to the
  Company is eliminated to the maximum extent permitted by Delaware law. The
  Company's certificate of incorporation and by-laws provide for the
  indemnification of the directors, officers, employees, and agents of the
  Company and its subsidiaries to the full extent permitted by Delaware law from time to time and, in the case of the by-laws, for various procedures
  relating thereto. Certain provisions of the Company's certificate of
  incorporation protect the Company's directors against personal liability for
  monetary damages resulting from breaches of their fiduciary duty of care. The
  Company's certificate of incorporation absolves directors of liability for
  negligence in the performance of their duties, including gross negligence.
  However, the Company's directors remain liable for breaches of their duty of
  loyalty to the Company and its stockholders, as well as for acts or omissions
  not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing
  violation of law and transactions from which a director derives improper
  personal benefit. The Company's certificate of incorporation also does not
  absolve directors of liability under Section 174 of the General Corporation
  Law of the State of Delaware, which makes directors personally liable for
  unlawful dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions in certain
  circumstances and expressly sets forth a negligence standard with respect to
  such liability.
Under Delaware law,
  directors, officers, employees, and other individuals may be indemnified
  against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, and amounts
  paid in settlement in connection with specified actions, suits, or
  proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative (other
  than an action by or in the right of the corporation -- a "derivative
  action") if they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably
  believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation
  and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable
  cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. A similar standard of conduct is
  applicable in the case of a derivative action, except that indemnification
  only extends to expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in connection
  with defense or settlement of such an action and Delaware law requires court approval
  before there can be any indemnification of expenses where the person seeking
  indemnification has been found liable to the corporation.
The Company's certificate of
  incorporation provides, among other things, that each person who was or is
  made a party to, or is threatened to be made a party to, or is involved in,
  any action, suit, or proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she is or
  was a director or officer of the Company (or was serving at the request of
  the Company as a director, officer, employee, or agent for another entity),
  will be indemnified and held harmless by the Company to the full extent
  authorized by Delaware law against all expense, liability, or loss (including
  attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties, and
  amounts to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred by such person in
  connection therewith. The rights conferred thereby will be deemed to be
  contract rights and will include the right to be paid by the Company for the
  expenses incurred in defending the proceedings specified above in advance of
  their final disposition.
The Company's by-laws
  provide for, among other things, (1) the indemnification by the Company of
  its directors and officers to the extent described above, (2) the advancement
  of attorneys' fees and other expenses, and (3) the establishment, upon
  approval by the board of directors, of trusts or other funding mechanisms to
  fund the Company's indemnification obligations.
As authorized by its
  certificate of incorporation, the Company has entered into indemnification
  agreements with each of its directors and officers. These indemnification
  agreements provide for, among other things, (1) the indemnification by the
  Company of the indemnitees thereunder to the extent described above, (2) the
  advancement of attorneys' fees and other expenses, and (3) the establishment,
  upon approval by the Company's board of directors, of trusts or other funding
  mechanisms to fund the Company's indemnification obligations thereunder.
    The Company also maintains insurance for officers and directors
  against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities
  Act.  The effect of this insurance is to indemnify any officer or
  director of the Company against expenses, including, without limitation,
  attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement, incurred by
  an officer or director upon a determination that such person acted in good
  faith.  The premiums for such insurance are paid by the Company.

Item 9.  Undertakings
A.
The Company 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 of
  1933; (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
  20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation
  of Registration Fee" table 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.
(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.
B.
The Company hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
  determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
  Company's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 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.
C.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under
  the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling
  persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
  the Company 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
  Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling
  person of the Company 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 Company 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.
