Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

On May 26, 2020, Macy’s, Inc. (“Macy’s”) announced the commencement of an offering of $1,100 million aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes due 2025 (the “Notes”) to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and to certain non-U.S. persons in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Notes will be secured on a first-priority basis by (i) a first mortgage/deed of trust in certain real property of subsidiaries of Macy’s that has been or will be transferred to subsidiaries of Macy’s Propco Holdings, LLC, a newly created direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Macy’s (“Propco”) and (ii) a pledge by Propco of the equity interests in its subsidiaries that own or will own such transferred real property (together, the “Collateral”). The Notes will be, jointly and severally, unconditionally guaranteed on a secured basis by PropCo and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Secured Guarantors") and unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured basis by Macy’s Retail Holdings, Inc., a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Macy’s (“MRH” and, together with the Secured Guarantors, the “Guarantors”). The closing of this offering is conditioned upon the closing of a new asset-based credit agreement.

 

Macy’s is hereby furnishing the following information regarding its business, some of which has not been previously reported, derived from the confidential preliminary offering memorandum, dated as of May 26, 2020, that is being circulated in connection with the offering of the Notes. This information is included in Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities. The Notes and related guarantees are being offered only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in reliance on the exemption from registration set forth in Rule 144A under the Securities Act, and outside the United States to non-U.S. persons in reliance on the exemption from registration set forth in Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Notes and the related guarantees have not been registered under the Securities Act, or the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction, and may not be offered or sold in the United States without registration or an applicable exemption from the Securities Act and applicable state securities or blue sky laws and foreign securities laws.

 

The information contained in or incorporated by reference from Exhibit 99.1 hereto into this Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is being furnished pursuant to Item 7.01. This information shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section, or incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
