A Message from Jeff and Tony
Hi everyone,
You are likely aware that Macy’s, Inc. has been the subject of media articles since late Sunday afternoon. This is not uncommon for publicly traded companies, especially for well-known companies like ours. That said, it is our longstanding policy not to comment on articles like these.
Our Board of Directors and senior leadership team are confident in the actions we are taking to position Macy’s, Inc. for continued success. Across each of our nameplates – Macy’s, Bloomingdale’s and Bluemercury – we are excited about the opportunities ahead to drive our long-term growth and success.
We expect there will be additional commentary regarding Macy’s, Inc. in the coming days and weeks by media, analysts and others. We want to emphasize that it is business as usual for all of us, and the best thing you can do is remain focused on the work ahead. Our customers are counting on us – especially during this important time of year – and we are counting on each of you to focus your efforts on delivering the best experience possible this holiday season and beyond.
Consistent with our policy, always forward any external media inquiries about this matter to our Corporate Communications team (communications@macys.com). Similarly, investor inquiries should be directed to our Investor Relations team led by Pam Quintiliano (pamela.quintiliano@macys.com).
We know such stories in the press can be distracting. We thank you for your continued focus, hard work and dedication.
Sincerely,
