Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.


On August 25, 2017, the Board of Directors of Macy’s, Inc. (“Macy’s” or the “Company”), acting upon recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, accepted the resignation of Annie Young-Scrivner as a director of Macy’s. There was no disagreement between Ms. Young-Scrivner and the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.

Ms. Young-Scrivner has accepted the position of Chief Executive Officer of Godiva Chocolatier, Inc. effective September 14, 2017. In accordance with Macy’s Board policy, a non-management director is required to offer to resign at the first Board meeting following a change in the director’s employment status. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considered Ms. Young-Scrivner’s resignation offer, determined that she would no longer be independent under the Company’s Standards for Director Independence based on her employment with Godiva Chocolatier, and recommended to the Board that it accept her resignation.

Ms. Young-Scrivner served as a director of Macy’s since 2014 and was a member of the Compensation and Management Development Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

As a result of the resignation of Ms. Young-Scrivner, the Board of Directors reduced the size of the Board from 12 to 11 members.
