2019-2021 Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Terms and Conditions under the 2018 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan

1.    Grant of Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units. Macy’s, Inc. (the “Company”) has granted to Grantee as of the grant date (“Date of Grant”) that “Target” number Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units (“Performance Units”) as shown on the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award Letter (“Award Letter”) to which these Terms and Conditions apply, subject to the terms, conditions and restrictions set forth herein and in the Macy’s, Inc. 2018 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”). These Terms and Conditions and the Award Letter together constitute an Evidence of Award, as defined in the Plan. Subject to Section 11 of the Plan, each Performance Unit represents the right to receive one share of common stock of the Company (“Common Stock”).

2.    Performance Period. The Performance Period shall commence on February 3, 2019 (the “Commencement Date”) and, except as otherwise provided in these Terms and Conditions, will expire in full on January 29, 2022 (the “Performance Period”). For the sake of clarity, if a Change in Control occurs, the Performance Period will end on the date of a Change in Control and the Performance Units will convert to time-based restricted stock units in accordance with Section 4(c) below.

3.    Normal Vesting of Performance Units.

(a) The actual number of Performance Units that may be earned and become nonforfeitable is based on achieving the targeted level of the Company’s average Comparable Sales Growth (“Comparable Sales Growth”), average Return on Invested Capital (“ROIC”) and relative Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) goals for the Performance Period (the “Performance Goals”), weighted 37.5%, 37.5% and 25.0% respectively, as set forth in the following schedules.

* Straight-line interpolation will apply to performance levels between the ones shown above.

(i) “Comparable Sales Growth” is defined as the period-to-period percentage change in net owned plus licensed sales from stores in operation throughout the year presented and the immediately preceding year and all online sales, as reported in the Company’s financial statements included in its Form 10-K.  Stores impacted by a natural disaster or that undergo significant expansion or shrinkage remain in the comparable sales calculation unless the store is closed for a significant period of time. Comparable Sales will be measured on a three-year average basis (i.e., the average of Fiscal 2019, Fiscal 2020 and Fiscal 2010 annual Comparable Sales Growth).

* Straight-line interpolation will apply to performance levels between the ones shown above.

(ii) “Return on Invested Capital” is defined as EBITDAR divided by Total Average Gross Investment. EBITDAR is equal to the sum of EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization, which is equal to the sum of operating income and depreciation and amortization as reported in the Company’s financial statements included in its Form 10-K, adjusted as provided in Section 1(b) below) plus Rent Expense. Rent Expense represents gross rent expense as reported in the Company’s financial statements included in its Form 10-K. Total Average Gross Investment is equal to the sum of Gross Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE) plus Right of Use Asset (“ROU Asset”), Capitalized Value of Non-Capitalized Variable Rent, Working Capital – which includes Receivables, Merchandise Inventories, Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets – offset by Merchandise Accounts Payable and Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities, and Other Assets, each as reported in the ROIC calculation in the Company’s financial statements in the applicable Form 10-K. Gross PPE and ROU Asset will be determined using a two-point average (i.e., beginning and end of year). Capitalized Value of Variable Rent will be calculated as 8x variable rent expense as reported in the financial statements in the Form 10-K. Working Capital components and Other Assets will be determined using a four-point (i.e., quarterly) average. ROIC will be measured on a three-year average basis (i.e., the average of Fiscal 2019, Fiscal 2020 and Fiscal 2021 annual ROIC).

* Straight-line interpolation will apply to performance levels between the ones shown above.

** Peer group companies: Bed, Bath & Beyond, Best Buy, Dillard’s, Dollar Tree, Gap, Hudson’s Bay, J.C. Penney, Kohl’s, L Brands, Lowe’s, Nordstrom, Ross Stores, Target and TJX Companies.

(i) TSR will be calculated on a compound annualized basis over the three-year period.

(ii) TSR is defined as the change in the value of the Common Stock from the Date of Grant through January 29, 2022, taking into account both stock price appreciation and the reinvestment of dividends. The beginning and ending stock prices will be based on a 20-day average stock price.

(iii) Dividends will be reinvested at the closing price on the last day of the month after the “ex dividend” date. All cash special dividends shall be treated like regular dividends. All spin-offs or share-based dividends shall be assumed to be sold on the issue date and reinvested in the issuing company that same date.

(iv) Relative TSR is the percentile rank of the Company’s TSR compared to the TSR of the peer group over the Performance Period. If any of the companies in the peer group are no longer publicly traded at the end of the Performance Period due to bankruptcy, they will continue to be included in the relative TSR calculation by force ranking them at the bottom of the array. If any companies are no longer publicly traded due to acquisition, they will be excluded from the calculation.

(b)    For purposes of determining whether the performance goals for Comparable Sales and ROIC have been met, the calculation of the Company’s actual Comparable Sales and ROIC will be adjusted to exclude the following, if they were not included in the Company’s business plan:

The adjustments for each one of the items listed above will only be made if the item was not included or was materially different than expected in the preparation of the Company’s 2019-2021 Business Plans. For example, if the Company’s Business Plan was prepared based on the Company acquiring a business segment and the acquisition of the business segment occurs as planned, no adjustment will be made to exclude the income, gains, expenses, losses, cash inflows and cash outflows attributable to that business segment.

To the extent a disposition, financing or material contract change was not correctly taken into account in the preparation of the Company’s fiscal 2019-2021 Business Plans determined as of March 21,

2019, including the failure to take a disposition, financing or material contract change into account at all or the fact that all or a portion of the disposition, financing or material contract change occurred earlier or later than planned, or did not occur at all, adjustments shall be made to the planned Sales and ROIC in order to accurately take the actual disposition, financing or material contract change into account.  For this purpose, (i) a “disposition” means a substantial divestiture of assets or a disposition of a division, segment, business operation, subsidiary, affiliate or store, (ii) a “financing” means a major financing or refinancing and (iii) a “material contract change” means the cancellation, amendment, or renegotiation of a pre-existing contract that will have a material impact on the Company’s financial results.  For example, if a disposition was not considered in the preparation of the Company’s fiscal 2019-2021 Business Plans, determined as of March 21, 2019, the Company’s planned Sales and ROIC shall be adjusted to exclude the planned Sales and ROIC attributable to the corresponding assets or division, segment, business operation, subsidiary, affiliate or store from the date of disposition until the end of the Company’s fiscal year. 

(c)    In all cases the Compensation Committee shall certify whether the Company has achieved the specified levels of average Comparable Sales Growth, average ROIC and relative TSR as soon as administratively feasible following the end of the Performance Period. For purposes of these Terms and Conditions and the Award Letter, “Performance Vesting Date” means the later of (1) the last day of the Performance Period and (2) the date on which the Compensation Committee certifies the levels of achievement of the applicable Performance Goals.

(d)    From time to time, the Company may adopt accounting standards, consistent with GAAP, which may impact the performance measures used in the Macy’s, Inc. Senior Executive Compensation Plan. If this occurs and the adoption of such standards was not included in the financial plans used to develop the performance ranges (outstanding, target, threshold and below threshold) for each measure, then actual performance results shall be adjusted to exclude the impact of the adoption of the accounting standards.

4.     Forfeiture of Performance Units.

(a) Termination of Employment. Except as the Board may determine on a case-by-case basis or as provided below, all unvested Performance Units shall be forfeited if Grantee ceases to be continuously employed by the Company at any time prior to the end of the Performance Period. The continuous employment of Grantee shall not be deemed to have been interrupted by reason of the transfer of Grantee’s employment among the Company and its subsidiaries, divisions or affiliates or a leave of absence approved by the Company. In the event of a termination for Cause (as defined in Section 18), all unvested Performance Units shall be immediately forfeited.

(b) Death, Disability, Retirement or Involuntary Termination. Except as the Board may determine on a case-by-case basis:

(i) If the Performance Units have not been converted pursuant to Section 4(c)(i) or (ii) below, in the event Grantee retires at least six months after the Date of Grant, on or after age 62 with at least five years of vesting service (“Retirement”), and complies with the provisions of Section 4(d) below, then on the Performance Vesting Date, a pro rata portion of the percentage of Performance Units that become vested as determined under Section 3 above will vest (i.e., prorated from the Commencement Date through the date of Retirement based on the number of completed months of service during the Performance Period divided by 36). If the Performance Units have been converted pursuant to Section 4(c)(i) or (ii) below on or before the last day of the

Performance Period and Grantee is a Retirement Eligible Grantee on or before the last day of the Performance Period, 100% of the Performance Units as so converted will vest on the latter of the Change in Control and the date Grantee becomes a Retirement-Eligible Grantee;

(ii) If the Performance Units have not been converted pursuant to Section 4(c)(i) or (ii) below, in the event Grantee dies or becomes Disabled during the Performance Period, on the Performance Vesting Date, a pro rata portion of the percentage of Performance Units that become vested as determined under Section 3 will vest (i.e., prorated from the Commencement Date through the date of death or Disability based on the number of completed months of service during the Performance Period divided by 36). If the Performance Units have been converted pursuant to Section 4(c)(i) or (ii) below and Grantee dies or becomes Disabled on or before the last day of the Performance Period, 100% of the Performance Units as so converted will vest on the latter of the Change in Control and the date of death or Disability; and;

(iii) If (A) the Performance Units have not been converted pursuant to Section 4(c)(i) or (ii) below, (B) as of the Date of Grant, Grantee is a participant in the Company’s Senior Executive Severance Plan, (C) Grantee’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause other than as described in Section 4(c)(iii) (such termination, with respect to a Senior Executive Severance Plan participant, an “Involuntary Termination”), and (D) Grantee complies with the provisions of Section 4(d) below, then on the Performance Vesting Date, a pro rata portion of the percentage of Performance Units that become vested as determined under Section 3 above will vest (i.e., prorated from the Commencement Date through the first anniversary of the date of termination of employment based on the number of completed months of service during the Performance Period plus the one-year period following termination of employment divided by 36).

(c) Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan) prior to the last day of the Performance Period, Performance Units will convert to time-based restricted stock units without proration for the percentage of the Performance Period that has elapsed since the Commencement Date, as follows:

(i) If the Change in Control occurs prior to the 24-month anniversary of the Commencement Date, then 100% of the Target award number of Performance Units shall convert to time-based restricted stock units (plus an additional number of shares of time-based restricted stock units representing the dividend equivalents payable on that Target award number of Performance Units from the Commencement Date to the date of the Change in Control);

(ii) If the Change in Control occurs on or after the 24-month anniversary of the Commencement Date, the conversion of Performance Units to time-based restricted stock units (and the corresponding conversion of dividend equivalents payable on those Performance Units to time-based restricted stock units) will be based on (a) the Company’s Comparable Sales Growth and ROIC performance determined under Section 3 above from the Commencement Date through the first 24 months of the Performance Period, plus the Company’s performance determined under Section 3 above during any completed fiscal quarter thereafter to the date of the Change in Control and (b) the Company’s relative TSR as of the date of the Change in Control.

(iii) Except as set forth in Section 4(b)(i) or (ii) above, Performance Units as converted pursuant to Section 4(c)(i) or (ii) above will vest as follows:

(A)     If Performance Units as converted pursuant to Section 4(c)(i) or (ii) above are not assumed or replaced by the acquiror/continuing entity on terms deemed appropriate by the Compensation Committee, the Converted Units will vest on or immediately prior to the closing of the Change in Control;

(B)     The Performance Units as converted pursuant to Section 4(c)(i) or (ii) above will vest on the last day of the Performance Period (the “Normal Vesting Date”), if vesting has not otherwise accelerated as provided pursuant to Section 4(b)(i) or (ii) above or 4(c)(iii)(C) below; or

(C)     If, within the 24-month period following the Change in Control, Grantee is terminated by the Company or the continuing entity without Cause or if Grantee voluntarily terminates employment with Good Reason and is a participant in the Company’s Change in Control Plan (a “Qualifying Termination”), the Performance Units as converted pursuant to Section 4(c)(i) or (ii) above will vest on the date of such Qualifying Termination.

(d) Violation of Restrictive Covenants. All unvested Performance Units shall be forfeited immediately upon the occurrence of any of the following events. If there are no unvested Performance Units outstanding at the time a restrictive covenant is violated, the Company may pursue other legal remedies.

(i) Following voluntary Retirement or Involuntary Termination and prior to the later of (a) the settlement date for the Performance Units or (b) two years following Retirement or one year following Involuntary Termination, as applicable, Grantee renders personal services to a Competing Business (as defined in Section 18) in any manner, including, without limitation, as employee, agent, consultant, advisor, independent contractor, proprietor, partner, officer, director, manager, owner, financer, joint venturer or otherwise; or

(ii) Following voluntary or involuntary Retirement or Involuntary Termination and prior to the later of (a) the settlement date for the Performance Units or (b) two years following Retirement or Involuntary Termination, Grantee directly or indirectly solicits or otherwise entices any of the Company’s employees to resign from their employment with the Company, whether individually or as a group; or

(iii) At any time following voluntary or involuntary Retirement or Involuntary Termination, Grantee discloses or provides to any third party, or uses, modifies, copies or adapts any of the Company’s Confidential Information (defined in Section 18).

An involuntary Retirement occurs when the employment of a Grantee who satisfies the age and years of service criteria described in Section 4(b) above is terminated by the Company without Cause (as defined in Section 18) or is terminated by Grantee with Good Reason (as defined in Section 18) within the 24-month period following a Change in Control.

5.    Dividend, Voting and Other Rights. Grantee shall have no rights of a stockholder with respect to the Performance Units prior to the date on which shares of Common Stock are issued in settlement thereof, including the right to vote any of the Performance Units. An amount representing dividends payable on shares of Common Stock with respect to the award of Performance Units on a dividend record date shall be deemed reinvested in Common Stock and credited to Grantee as restricted stock units (rounded to the nearest whole share) as of the dividend payment date. The Performance Units

are subject to adjustment to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights of Grantee that would otherwise result from changes in the capital structure of the Company or from certain corporate transactions or events as provided in Section 11 of the Plan. Any restricted stock units or additional Performance Units credited to Grantee pursuant to this Section 5, including by reason of any adjustments under Section 11 of the Plan, will be subject to the terms and restrictions (including vesting) set forth in these Terms and Conditions.

6.    Settlement of Performance Units. The Company shall issue or deliver to Grantee a number of whole shares of unrestricted Common Stock equal to the number of vested Performance Units (including any Performance Units as converted pursuant to Section 4(c)(i) or (ii) above) and the related restricted stock units attributed to any dividend equivalents on those Performance Units as soon as practicable following either (i) the Performance Vesting Date or Normal Vesting Date (as applicable), or (ii) if the Performance Units (including any Performance Units as converted pursuant to Section 4(c)(i) or (ii) above) become vested and earned or deemed vested and earned prior thereto upon an event contemplated by Section 4(b) or 4(c)(iii), the date of such event, and in the case of either clause (i) or (ii) of this Section 6, within the “short-term deferral” period determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4), with the applicable vesting date being referred to herein as the “Vesting Date.” Such shares of unrestricted Common Stock shall be credited as book entry shares to Grantee’s trading account. For the sake of clarity, the settlement and payment of Performance Units (including any Performance Units as converted pursuant to Section 4(c)(i) or (ii) above) and the related restricted stock units attributed to any dividend equivalents on those Performance Units is intended to comply with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4), and these Terms and Conditions and the Award Letter will be construed and administered in such a manner. As a result, notwithstanding any provision in these Terms and Conditions and the Award Letter to the contrary, the settlement and payment of Performance Units (including any Performance Units as converted pursuant to Section 4(c)(i) or (ii) above) and the related restricted stock units attributed to any dividend equivalents on those Performance Units will be made in all events no later than the date that is the 15^th day of the third calendar month of the applicable year following the year in which the Performance Units (including any Performance Units as converted pursuant to Section 4(c)(i) or (ii) above) and the related restricted stock units attributed to any dividend equivalents on those Performance Units are no longer subject to a “substantial risk of forfeiture” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(d). In the event Performance Units (including any Performance Units as converted pursuant to Section 4(c)(i) or (ii) above) and any related restricted stock units attributed to any dividend equivalents on those Performance Units are not earned or do not become vested, those Performance Units (including any Performance Units as converted pursuant to Section 4(c)(i) or (ii) above) and the related restricted stock units attributed to any dividend equivalents on those Performance Units, shall be forfeited.

7.    Clawback. Any incentive-based compensation received by Grantee from the Company hereunder or otherwise shall be subject to recovery by the Company in the circumstances and manner provided in any Incentive-Based Compensation Recovery Policy that may be adopted or implemented by the Company and in effect from time to time on or after the date hereof, and Grantee shall effectuate any such recovery at such time and in such manner as the Company may specify. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Incentive-Based Compensation Recovery Policy” means any policy of the type contemplated by Section 10D of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, any rules or regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted pursuant thereto, or any related rules or listing standards of any national securities exchange or national securities association applicable to the Company. Until the Company adopts an Incentive-Based Compensation Recovery Policy, the following clawback provision shall apply:

In the event that, within three years of the end of the Performance Period and settlement of vested Performance Units, the Company restates its financial results with respect to the Company’s performance during the Performance Period to correct a material error that the Compensation Committee determines is the result of fraud or intentional misconduct, then the Compensation Committee, in its discretion, may require Grantee to repay to the Company all income, if any, derived from the Performance Units.

8.    No Employment Contract. Nothing contained in the Award Letter or these Terms and Conditions shall confer upon Grantee any right with respect to continued employment by the Company, or limit or affect the right of the Company to terminate the employment or adjust the compensation of Grantee.

9.    Taxes and Withholding. If the Company is required to withhold any federal, state, local or foreign tax in connection with the issuance or vesting of, or other event triggering a tax obligation with respect to, any Performance Units or the issuance of any unrestricted shares of Common Stock or other securities following vesting pursuant to the Award Letter or these Terms and Conditions, it shall be a condition to such vesting, issuance or event that Grantee pay or make provisions that are satisfactory to the Company for payment of the tax. Unless Grantee makes alternative arrangements satisfactory to the Company prior to the vesting of the Performance Units or the issuance of shares of unrestricted Common Stock or other event triggering a tax obligation, Grantee will satisfy the statutory tax withholding obligations by providing for the sale of enough shares to generate proceeds that will satisfy the withholding obligation or surrendering to the Company a portion of the shares of Common Stock that are issued or transferred to Grantee following the Vesting Date for credit against the withholding obligation at the Market Value per Share of such shares on the Vesting Date. In accordance with Section 16 of the Plan, in no event will the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock to be withheld or delivered pursuant to this Section 9 to satisfy applicable withholding taxes exceed Grantee’s estimated tax obligations based on the maximum statutory tax rates in the applicable taxing jurisdiction.

10.    Limitations on Transfer of Performance Units. The Performance Units may not be transferred or assigned by Grantee until they vest other than (i) upon death, by will or the laws of descent and distribution, (ii) pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order or (iii) to a fully revocable trust to which Grantee is treated as the owner for federal income tax purposes.

11.    Compliance with Law. The Company shall make reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable federal and state securities laws; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to issue any Performance Units or shares of unrestricted Common Stock or other securities pursuant to the Award Letter and these Terms and Conditions if the issuance thereof would result in a violation of any such law.

12.    Relation to Other Benefits. Any economic or other benefit to Grantee under the Award Letter and these Terms and Conditions shall not be taken into account in determining any benefits to which Grantee may be entitled under any profit-sharing, retirement or other benefit or compensation plan maintained by the Company.

13.    Amendments. Any amendment to the Plan shall be deemed to be an amendment to these Terms and Conditions to the extent that the amendment is applicable hereto; provided, however, that no amendment shall materially impair the rights of Grantee under the Award Letter and these Terms and Conditions without Grantee’s consent.

14.    Severability. In the event that any provisions of these Terms and Conditions shall be invalidated for any reason by a court of competent jurisdiction, the invalidated provision shall be deemed to be separable from the other provisions hereof, and the remaining provisions hereof shall continue to be valid and fully enforceable.

15.    Relation to Plan.

(a) General. These Terms and Conditions are subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan. In the event of any inconsistent provisions between these Terms and Conditions and the Plan, the Plan shall govern. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Plan. All references in these Terms and Conditions to the Company shall include, unless the context in which it is used suggests otherwise, its subsidiaries, divisions and affiliates.

(b) Compliance with Section 409A of the Code. The Company and Grantee acknowledge that, to the extent applicable, it is intended that the performance units covered by these Terms and Conditions comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code, and the Performance Units (including any Performance Units as converted pursuant to Section 4(c)(i) or (ii) above) shall be administered in a manner consistent with this intent. Any amendments made to comply with Section 409A of the Code may be retroactive to the extent permitted by Section 409A of the Code and may be made by the Company without the consent of Grantee. In any case, Grantee shall be solely responsible and liable for the satisfaction of all taxes and penalties that may be imposed in connection with these Terms and Conditions and the Award Letter (including any taxes and penalties under Section 409A of the Code), and the Company shall not have any obligation to indemnify or otherwise hold Grantee harmless from any or all of such taxes or penalties. Each payment under these Terms and Conditions and the Award Letter shall be treated as a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. Any reference herein to Section 409A of the Code will also include any regulations or any other formal guidance promulgated with respect to such Section by the U.S. Department of the Treasury or the Internal Revenue Service.

16.    Successors and Assigns. The provisions of the Award Letter and these Terms and Conditions shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the successors, administrators, heirs, legal representatives and permitted assigns of Grantee and the successors and assigns of the Company.

17.    Governing Law. The Award Letter and these Terms and Conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal substantive laws of the State of Delaware.
