 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">10. <U>Breach by Executive</U>. In the event of a breach by Executive of any of the provisions of
this Agreement, including without limitation the non-competition provisions (Section 4) and the non-disparagement provision (Section 6) of this Agreement, the obligation of Sears or any Sears Affiliate to pay Salary Continuation or to provide other
Severance Benefits under this Agreement will immediately cease and any Salary Continuation payments already received and the value of any other Severance Benefits already received will be returned by Executive to Sears. Further, Executive agrees
that Sears shall be entitled to recovery of its attorneys&#146; fees and other associated costs incurred as a result of any attempt to redress a breach by Executive or to enforce its rights and protect its interests under the Agreement. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">11. <U>Severability</U>. If any provision(s) of this Agreement shall be found invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, in whole or in part, then
such provision(s) shall be modified or restricted so as to effectuate as nearly as possible in a valid and enforceable way the provisions hereof, or shall be deemed excised from this Agreement, as the case may require, and this Agreement shall be
construed and enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law, as if such provision(s) had been originally incorporated herein as so modified or restricted or as if such provision(s) had not been originally incorporated herein, as the case may be.

conflicts of laws. Executive agrees that the state and federal courts located in the state of Illinois shall have exclusive jurisdiction in any action, lawsuit or proceeding based on or arising out of this Agreement, and Executive hereby:
(a)&nbsp;submits to the personal jurisdiction of such courts; (b)&nbsp;consents to the service of process in connection with any action, suit, or proceeding against Executive; and (c)&nbsp;waives any other requirement (whether imposed by statute,
rule of court, or otherwise) with respect to personal jurisdiction, venue or service of process. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">13. <U>Right to Jury</U>. Executive
agrees to waive any right to a jury trial on any claim contending that this Agreement or the General Release and Waiver is illegal or unenforceable in whole or in part, and Executive agrees to try any claims brought in a court or tribunal without
use of a jury or advisory jury. Further, should any claim arising out of Executive&#146;s employment, termination of employment or Salary Continuation Period (if any) be found by a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction to not be released by
the General Release and Waiver, Executive agrees to try such claim to the court or tribunal without use of a jury or advisory jury. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">14.

cause and with or without notice. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">15. <U>Other Plans, Programs, Policies and Practices</U>. If any provision of this Agreement conflicts

Master Transition Pay Plan or the Kmart Corporation Master Severance Pay Plan or any successor severance plan or program. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">16. <U>Entire

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">(f) <U>Necessity and Reasonableness</U>. Executive agrees that the restrictions
set forth herein are necessary to prevent the use and disclosure of Sears Confidential Information and to otherwise protect the legitimate business interests of Sears and Sears Affiliates. Executive further agrees and acknowledges that the
provisions of this Agreement are reasonable. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">(g) <U>General Release and Waiver</U>. Upon Executive&#146;s Date of
Termination (whether initiated by Sears or Executive in accordance with subsection 1(a) above) potentially entitling Executive to Severance Benefits, Executive will execute a binding general release and waiver of claims in a form to be provided by
Sears (&#147;General Release and Waiver&#148;), which is incorporated by reference under this Agreement. This General Release and Waiver will be in a form substantially similar to the attached sample. If the General Release and Waiver is not signed
within the time required by the waiver or is signed but subsequently revoked, Executive will not continue to receive any Severance Benefits otherwise payable under subsection 1(a) above. Further, Executive shall be obligated to reimburse Sears for
any portion of (i)&nbsp;the Salary Continuation paid during the Salary Continuation Period under subsection (1)(a)(i)&nbsp;herein, and (ii)&nbsp;the cost for the benefits provided during the Salary Continuation Period under subsection
(1)(a)(ii)&nbsp;herein. A sample of this General Release and Waiver is provided as <U>Exhibit A</U> to this Agreement. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">(h)
<U>Exception Request</U>. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive may request a waiver or a specific exception to the non-competition provisions of this Agreement by written request to the Chief Human Resources Officer or Senior Vice President,
General Counsel and Corporate Secretary (or the equivalent) of Sears. Such a request will be given reasonable consideration and may be granted, in whole or in part, or denied at Sears&#146; absolute discretion. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">5. <U>Irreparable Harm</U>. Executive acknowledges that irreparable harm would result from any breach by Executive of the provisions of this
Agreement, including without limitation subsections 4(a), 4(b), 4(c) and 4(d), and that monetary damages alone would not provide adequate relief for any such breach. Accordingly, if Executive breaches or threatens to breach this Agreement, Executive
consents to injunctive relief in favor of Sears without the necessity of Sears posting a bond. Moreover, any award of injunctive relief shall not preclude Sears from seeking or recovering any lawful compensatory damages which may have resulted from
a breach of this Agreement, including a forfeiture of any future payments and a return of any payments and benefits already received by Executive. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">6. <U>Non-Disparagement</U>. Executive will not take any actions that would reasonably be expected to be detrimental to the interests of Sears
or any Sears Affiliate, nor make derogatory statements, either written or oral to any third party, or otherwise publicly disparage Sears or any Sears Affiliate, its products, services, or present or former employees, officers or directors, and will
not authorize others to make derogatory or disparaging statements on Executive&#146;s behalf. This provision does not and is not intended to preclude Executive from entering into any relationship with a Sears Competitor or Sears Vendor after such
relationship is permissible under subsection 4(c) or 4(d), respectively, nor does it preclude Executive from providing truthful testimony in response to legal process or governmental inquiry. </P>

completely cooperate with Sears, both during and after the period of employment with Sears or any Sears Affiliate (including any Salary Continuation Period), with respect to matters that relate to Executive&#146;s period of employment, in all
investigations, potential litigation or litigation in which Sears is involved or may become involved other than any such investigations, potential litigation or litigation between Sears and Executive. Sears will reimburse Executive for reasonable
travel and out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with any such investigations, potential litigation or litigation. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">8. <U>Future

future. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">9. <U>Acting as Witness</U>. Executive agrees that both during and after the period of employment with Sears or any Sears
Affiliate (including any Salary Continuation Period), Executive will not voluntarily act as a witness, consultant or expert for any person or party in any action against or involving Sears or any Sears Affiliate or corporate relative of Sears,
unless subject to judicial enforcement to appear as a fact witness only. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">10. <U>Breach by Executive</U>. In the event of a breach by
Executive of any of the provisions of this Agreement, including without limitation the non-competition provisions (Section 4) and the non-disparagement provision (Section 6) of this Agreement, the obligation of Sears or any Sears Affiliate to pay
Salary Continuation or to provide other Severance Benefits under this Agreement will immediately cease and any Salary Continuation payments already received and the value of any other Severance Benefits already received will be returned by Executive
to Sears. Further, Executive agrees that Sears shall be entitled to recovery of its attorneys&#146; fees and other associated costs incurred as a result of any attempt to redress a breach by Executive or to enforce its rights and protect its
interests under the Agreement. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">11. <U>Severability</U>. If any provision(s) of this Agreement shall be found invalid, illegal, or
unenforceable, in whole or in part, then such provision(s) shall be modified or restricted so as to effectuate as nearly as possible in a valid and enforceable way the provisions hereof, or shall be deemed excised from this Agreement, as the case
may require, and this Agreement shall be construed and enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law, as if such provision(s) had been originally incorporated herein as so modified or restricted or as if such provision(s) had not been originally
incorporated herein, as the case may be. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">12. <U>Governing Law</U>. This Agreement will be governed under the internal laws of the state of
Illinois without regard to principles of conflicts of laws. Executive agrees that the state and federal courts located in the state of Illinois shall have exclusive jurisdiction in any action, lawsuit or proceeding based on or arising out of this
Agreement, and Executive hereby: (a)&nbsp;submits to the personal jurisdiction of such courts; (b)&nbsp;consents to the service of process in connection with any action, suit, or proceeding against Executive; and (c)&nbsp;waives any other
requirement (whether imposed by statute, rule of court, or otherwise) with respect to personal jurisdiction, venue or service of process. </P>

contending that this Agreement or the General Release and Waiver is illegal or unenforceable in whole or in part, and Executive agrees to try any claims brought in a court or tribunal without use of a jury or advisory jury. Further, should any claim
arising out of Executive&#146;s employment, termination of employment or Salary Continuation Period (if any) be found by a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction to not be released by the General Release and Waiver, Executive agrees to try such

statement is being furnished in connection with the distribution by Sears Holdings Corporation (&#147;Sears Holdings&#148;) to its stockholders of 100% of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Lands&#146; End, Inc.
(together with all of its consolidated subsidiaries and predecessors, &#147;Lands&#146; End&#148;), a Delaware corporation. To implement the spin-off of Lands&#146; End, Sears Holdings will distribute all of the outstanding shares of Lands&#146; End
common stock on a <I>pro rata</I> basis to Sears Holdings stockholders as of 5:30 p.m. Eastern time on [<FONT STYLE="FONT-FAMILY:'WINGDINGS 2'">&#151;</FONT>] (the &#147;record date&#148;). </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:3%; font-size:9pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Each share of Sears Holdings common stock outstanding as of the record date will entitle the holder thereof to receive [<FONT
STYLE="FONT-FAMILY:'WINGDINGS 2'">&#151;</FONT>] shares of Lands&#146; End common stock. Fractional shares of Lands&#146; End common stock will not be distributed. Instead, fractional shares that Sears Holdings stockholders would otherwise have been
entitled to receive after application of the foregoing ratio will be aggregated and sold in the public market by the distribution agent and the aggregate cash proceeds of these sales, net of brokerage fees and other expenses, will be distributed
<I>pro rata</I> to those stockholders who would otherwise have been entitled to receive fractional shares. We expect the shares of Lands&#146; End common stock to be distributed by Sears Holdings to you on
[<FONT STYLE="FONT-FAMILY:'WINGDINGS 2'">&#151;</FONT>] (the &#147;distribution date&#148;). As discussed under &#147;The Spin-Off&#151;Trading Between the Record Date and Distribution Date,&#148; if you sell your shares of Sears Holdings common
stock in the &#147;regular-way&#148; market after the record date but before the distribution, you also will be selling your right to receive shares of Lands&#146; End common stock pursuant to the spin-off. We expect that the spin-off will be
tax-free to Sears Holdings stockholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes, except for any cash received in lieu of fractional shares. See &#147;Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences.&#148; </P>

leading multi-channel retailer of casual clothing, accessories and footwear, as well as home products. We offer products through catalogs, online at <I>www.landsend.com</I> and affiliated specialty and international websites, and through retail
locations, primarily at Lands&#146; End Shops at Sears and standalone Lands&#146; End Inlet stores that sell a combination of full-price and liquidation merchandise. We are a classic American lifestyle brand with a passion for quality, legendary
service and real value, and we seek to deliver timeless style for men, women, kids and the home. Lands&#146; End was founded 50 years ago in Chicago by Gary Comer and his partners to sell sailboat hardware and equipment by catalog. While our product
focus has shifted significantly over the years, we have continued to adhere to our founder&#146;s motto as one of our guiding principles: &#147;Take care of the customer, take care of the employee and the rest will take care of itself.&#148; </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In 2012, we generated revenue of approximately $1.6 billion. Our revenues are generated worldwide through an international, multi-channel
network in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Austria and Japan. This network reinforces and supports sales across the multiple channels in which we do business. In 2012, sales outside the United States totaled approximately
$259.3 million, or 16.3% of revenue. </P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We operate in two reportable segments, Direct (sold through e-commerce websites and direct-mail
catalogs, which in 2012 comprised approximately 82% of our revenue, or $1.3 billion) and Retail (sold through stores, which in 2012 comprised approximately 18% of our revenue, or $281.8 million), and we offer merchandise that includes men&#146;s,
women&#146;s and kids&#146; apparel, outerwear and swimwear; specialty apparel; accessories; footwear; and home products. Historically, catalogs have been our primary source of sales. Over time, we have expanded our Direct sales through the Internet
and created a Retail segment to bring the Lands&#146; End catalog to life. Online sales represented approximately 80% of our U.S. consumer revenue in 2012, up from approximately 20% in 2002. In addition, Lands&#146; End Business Outfitters offers
business casual apparel and an&nbsp;extensive variety of promotional products that can be embroidered to enhance a partner company&#146;s image. Lastly, the Lands&#146; End School Uniform business provides high-quality school uniforms and

including strategic international expansion and general economic conditions, and analysis of the leverage, capitalization, and cash flow profiles of comparable companies. In addition, the spin-off should increase the overall borrowing capacity of

Sears Holdings stockholders to directly participate in any future value creation by Lands&#146; End, while also allowing investors the flexibility to consider Sears Holdings and Lands&#146; End as independent investment decisions based on

locations, primarily at Lands&#146; End Shops at Sears and standalone Lands&#146; End Inlet stores. We are a classic American lifestyle brand with a passion for quality, legendary service and real value, and we seek to deliver timeless style for
men, women, kids and the home. Lands&#146; End was founded 50 years ago in Chicago by Gary Comer and his partners to sell sailboat hardware and equipment by catalog. Lands&#146; End, Inc. was incorporated in Delaware in 1986 and in June 2002 was

vulnerable to natural disasters, weather-related disruptions, accidents, system failures or other unforeseen causes that could delay or impair our ability to fulfill customer orders and/or ship merchandise to our stores, which could adversely affect
sales. Our utilization of imports also makes us vulnerable to risks associated with products manufactured abroad, including, among other things, risks of damage, destruction or confiscation of products while in transit to a distribution center,
organized labor strikes and work stoppages, transportation and other delays in shipments, including as a result of heightened security screening and inspection processes or other port-of-entry limitations or restrictions in the United States, the
United Kingdom and Japan, unexpected or significant port congestion, lack of freight availability and freight cost increases. In addition, if we experience a shortage of a popular item, we may be required to arrange for additional quantities of the
item, if available, to be delivered through airfreight, which is significantly more expensive than standard shipping by sea. We may not be able to obtain sufficient freight capacity on a timely basis or at favorable shipping rates and, therefore,
may not be able to timely receive merchandise from vendors or deliver products to customers. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We rely upon proprietary and third-party
land-based and air freight carriers for merchandise shipments from our distribution centers to customers. Accordingly, we are subject to the risks, including labor disputes, union organizing activity, inclement weather and increased transportation
costs, associated with such carriers&#146; ability to provide delivery services to meet outbound shipping needs. In addition, if the cost of fuel continues to rise or remains at current levels, the cost to deliver merchandise from distribution
centers to customers may rise, and, although some of these costs are paid by our customers, such costs could have an adverse impact on our profitability. Failure to procure and deliver merchandise to customers in a timely, effective and economically
viable manner could damage our reputation and adversely affect our business. In addition, any increase in distribution costs and expenses could adversely affect our future financial performance. </P>

levels to operate our business successfully, but we must also avoid accumulating excess inventory, which increases working capital needs and lowers gross margins. We obtain substantially all of our inventory from vendors located outside the United
States. Some of these vendors often require lengthy advance notice of order requirements in order to be able to supply products in the quantities requested. This usually requires us to order merchandise, and enter into commitments for the purchase
of such merchandise, well in advance of the time these products will be offered for sale. As a result, it may be difficult to respond to changes in the apparel, footwear, accessories or home products markets. If we do not accurately anticipate the
future demand for a particular product or the time it will take to obtain new inventory, inventory levels will not be appropriate and our results of operations could be adversely affected. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our business is adversely affected by unseasonal weather conditions. Sales of certain seasonal apparel items, specifically outerwear and
swimwear, are dependent in part on the weather and may decline in years in which weather conditions do not favor the use of these products. Sales of our spring and summer products, which traditionally consist of lighter clothing and swimwear, are
adversely affected by cool or wet weather. Similarly, sales of our fall and winter products, which are traditionally weighted toward outerwear, are adversely affected by mild, dry or warm weather. In addition, severe weather events typically lead to
temporarily reduced traffic at the Sears locations in which Lands&#146; Ends Shops at Sears are located and at our other retail locations which could lead to reduced sales of our merchandise. Severe weather events may impact our ability to supply
our stores, deliver orders to customers on schedule and staff our stores and fulfillment centers, which could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Our business is seasonal in nature, and any decrease in our sales or margins could have an adverse effect on our business and results of
operations. </I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The apparel industry is highly seasonal, with the highest levels of sales occurring during the fourth quarter of our
fiscal year. Our sales and margins during the fourth quarter may fluctuate based upon factors such as the timing of holiday seasons and promotions, the amount of net sales contributed by new and existing stores, the timing and level of markdowns,
competitive factors, weather and general economic conditions. Any decrease in sales or margins, whether as a result of increased promotional activity or because of economic conditions, poor weather or other factors, could have an adverse effect on
our business and results of operations. In addition, seasonal fluctuations also affect our inventory levels, since we usually order merchandise in advance of peak selling periods and sometimes before new fashion trends are confirmed by customer
purchases. We generally carry a significant amount of inventory, especially before the fourth quarter peak selling periods. If we are not successful in selling inventory during these periods, we may have to sell the inventory at significantly
reduced prices, which could adversely affect our business and results of operations. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>If our independent vendors do not use ethical

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our reputation and customers&#146; willingness to purchase our products depend in part on our vendors&#146; compliance with ethical employment
practices, such as with respect to child labor, wages and benefits, forced labor, discrimination, freedom of association, unlawful inducements, safe and healthy working conditions, and with all legal requirements relating to the conduct of their

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In accordance with current law, we pay, collect and/or remit taxes in those states where we or our subsidiaries, as applicable, maintain a
physical presence. While we believe that we have appropriately remitted all taxes based on our interpretation of applicable law, tax laws are complex and their application differs from state to state. It is possible that some taxing jurisdictions
may attempt to assess additional taxes and penalties on us or assert either an error in our calculation, a change in the application of law, or an interpretation of the law that differs from our own, which may, if successful, adversely affect our
business and results of operations. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>We may be subject to periodic litigation and other regulatory proceedings, including with

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">From time to time, we may be involved in lawsuits and regulatory actions relating to our business or products we sell or have sold. These
proceedings may be in jurisdictions with reputations for aggressive application of laws and procedures against corporate defendants. We are impacted by trends in litigation, including class-action allegations brought under various consumer
protection and employment laws, including wage and hour laws and laws relating to electronic commerce. Due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation and regulatory proceedings, we cannot accurately predict the ultimate outcome of any such
proceedings. An unfavorable outcome could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations. Regardless of the outcome of any litigation or regulatory proceedings, any such proceeding could result in substantial costs and may require
that we devote substantial resources to defend the proceeding, which could affect the future premiums we would be required to pay on our insurance policies. Changes in governmental regulations could also have adverse effects on our business and
subject us to additional regulatory actions. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Some of the products we sell may expose us to product liability claims relating to personal
injury, death or property damage allegedly caused by these products, and could require us to take corrective actions, including product recalls. Although we maintain liability insurance, there is no guarantee that our current or future coverage will
be adequate for liabilities actually incurred, or that insurance will continue to be available on economically reasonable terms, or at all. Product liability claims can be expensive to defend and can divert the attention of management and other
personnel for significant periods, regardless of the ultimate outcome. Claims of this nature, as well as product recalls, could also have an adverse effect on customer confidence in the products we sell and on our reputation, business and results of
operations. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>We could incur charges due to impairment of goodwill, other intangible assets and long-lived assets. </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As of November 1, 2013, we had intangible asset balances of $642.0 million, most of which are subject to testing for impairment annually or
more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. Our intangible assets consist of $528.3 million of trade names, $3.7 million of finite-lived intangible assets and our goodwill balance was $110.0
million. Any event that impacts our reputation could result in impairment charges for our trade names. Long-lived assets, primarily property and equipment, are also subject to testing for impairment. A significant amount of judgment is involved in
our impairment assessment. If actual results are not consistent with our estimates and assumptions used in estimating future cash flows and asset fair values, we could incur impairment charges for intangible assets, goodwill or long-lived assets,
which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations. </P>

management team, which is composed of the individuals named under &#147;Management.&#148; The loss of one or more of the members of our executive management may disrupt our business and adversely affect our results of operations. Furthermore, our
ability to manage further expansion will require us to continue to train, motivate and manage employees and to attract, motivate and retain additional qualified personnel. We believe that having personnel who are passionate about our brand and have
industry experience and a strong customer service ethic has been an important factor in our historical success, and we believe it will continue to be important to growing our business. Competition for these types of personnel is intense, and we may
not be successful in attracting, assimilating and retaining the personnel required to grow and operate our business profitably. With the seasonal nature of the retail business, nearly 2,000 flexible part-time employees join us each year to support
our varying peak seasons, including the fourth quarter holiday shopping season. An inability to attract qualified seasonal personnel could interrupt our sales during this period. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our current strategies include international expansion in a number of countries around the world through a number of channels and brands,
including in Asia and Europe. We have limited experience operating in many of these locations, and face major, established competitors and barriers to entry. In addition, in many of these locations, the real estate, employment and labor,
transportation and logistics, regulatory and other operating requirements differ dramatically from those in the places where we have experience. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations may also adversely affect our international operations and
sales, including by increasing the cost of business in certain locations. Moreover, consumer tastes and trends may differ in many of these locations from those in our existing locations, and as a result, the sales of our products may not be
successful or profitable. If our international expansion plans are unsuccessful or do not deliver an appropriate return on our investments, our business could be adversely affected. </P>

decline in consumer-spending levels and other adverse developments, including rising inflation, could lead to reduced revenues and gross margins and adversely affect our business, results of operations and liquidity. </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Many economic and other factors are outside of our control, including general economic and market conditions, consumer and commercial credit
availability, inflation, unemployment, consumer debt levels and other challenges currently affecting the global economy. Continued high rates of unemployment, depressed home prices, reduced access to credit and the domestic and international
political situation may adversely affect consumer confidence and disposable income levels. Low consumer confidence and disposable incomes could lead to reduced consumer spending and lower demand for our products, which are discretionary items the
purchase of which can be reduced before customers adjust their budgets for necessities. These factors could have a negative impact on our sales and cause us to increase inventory markdowns and promotional expenses, thereby reducing our gross margins
and operating results. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, our liquidity needs are funded by operating cash flows and, to the extent necessary, may be funded by
borrowings under any credit agreement that we may enter into in connection with the spin-off. The availability of financing depends on numerous factors that are outside of our control, including general economic and market conditions, the health of
financial institutions, our credit ratings and lenders&#146; assessments of our prospects and the prospects of the retail industry in general. The lenders under any credit facilities or loan agreements we may enter into may not be able to meet their
commitments if they experience shortages of capital and liquidity. There can be no assurance that our ability to otherwise access the credit markets will not be adversely affected by changes in the financial markets and the global economy. If we are
not able to fulfill our liquidity needs through operating cash flows and/or borrowings under credit facilities or otherwise in the capital markets, our business and financial condition could be adversely affected. </P>

Holdings is unable to satisfy its obligations under these agreements, including its indemnification obligations, we could incur operational difficulties or losses. These arrangements could lead to disputes between Sears Holdings and us over the use

Thacher&nbsp;&amp; Bartlett LLP substantially to the effect that the spin-off and its associated transactions (including the Internal Transactions (as defined in the separation and distribution agreement)) will qualify as tax-free under
Sections&nbsp;355, 368 and related provisions of the Code, except to the extent of any cash received in lieu of fractional shares of our common stock. An opinion of counsel is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service (&#147;IRS&#148;).
Accordingly, the IRS may reach conclusions with respect to the spin-off that are different from the conclusions reached in the opinion. The opinion will rely on certain facts, assumptions, representations and undertakings from Sears Holdings and us
regarding the past and future conduct of the companies&#146; respective businesses and other matters, which, if incomplete, incorrect or not satisfied, could alter counsel&#146;s conclusions. </P>

purposes, and you could incur significant U.S. federal income tax liabilities. In addition, Sears Holdings would recognize a taxable gain to the extent that the fair market value of our common stock exceeds Sears Holdings&#146; tax basis in such
stock on the date of the spin-off. Sears Holdings would not expect tax on such gain, if any, to be substantial. For a description of the sharing of such liabilities between Sears Holdings and us, see &#147;Certain Relationships and Related Person

U.S. federal income tax purposes the tax-free nature of the spin-off by Sears Holdings. Even if the spin-off otherwise qualifies for tax-free treatment under Section&nbsp;355 of the Code, it may be taxable to Sears Holdings if 50% or more, by vote
or value, of shares of our common stock or Sears Holdings&#146; common stock are acquired or issued as part of a plan or series of related transactions that includes the spin-off. For this purpose, any acquisitions or issuances of Sears
Holdings&#146; common stock within two years before the spin-off, and any acquisitions or issuances of our common stock or Sears Holdings&#146; common stock within two years after the spin-off, generally are presumed to be part of such a plan,
although we or Sears Holdings may be able to rebut that presumption. If an acquisition or issuance of shares of our common stock or Sears Holdings&#146; common stock triggers the application of Section&nbsp;355(e) of the Code, Sears Holdings would
recognize a taxable gain to the extent the fair market value of our common stock exceeds Sears Holdings&#146; tax basis in common stock. If the spin-off was subject to Section&nbsp;355(e) of the Code, we would not expect tax on such gain, if any, to

dedicate resources to pursue unique growth opportunities and execute strategic plans best suited to their respective businesses, (2)&nbsp;a business-appropriate capital structure for each of Sears Holdings and Lands&#146; End, (3)&nbsp;focused
management and more effective equity-based compensation arrangements and (4)&nbsp;increasing investors&#146; understanding of Lands&#146; End and its market position within its industry, while also allowing for a more natural and interested investor
base. The spin-off may also potentially enhance Lands&#146; End&#146;s financial flexibility, such as allowing direct access by Lands&#146; End to the capital markets. In contrast to a sale of the entire business, the spin-off will enable current
Sears Holdings stockholders to directly participate in any future value creation by Lands&#146; End, while also allowing investors the flexibility to consider Sears Holdings and Lands&#146; End as independent investment decisions based on

consummated in connection with the spin-off) subsequently fails to pay its creditors or enters insolvency proceedings, these transactions may be challenged under U.S. federal, U.S. state and foreign fraudulent conveyance and transfer laws, as well
as legal capital requirements governing distributions and similar transactions. If a court were to determine under these laws that, (a)&nbsp;at the time of the spin-off, the entity in question: (1)&nbsp;was insolvent; (2)&nbsp;was rendered insolvent
by reason of the spin-off; (3)&nbsp;had remaining assets constituting unreasonably small capital; (4)&nbsp;intended to incur, or believed it would incur, debts beyond its ability to pay these debts as they matured; or (b)&nbsp;the transaction in
question failed to satisfy applicable legal capital requirements, the court could determine that the spin-off was voidable, in whole or in part. Subject to various defenses, the court could then require Sears Holdings or us, or other recipients of
value in connection with the spin-off (potentially including our stockholders as recipients of shares of our common stock in connection with the spin-off), as the case may be, to turn over value to other entities involved in the spin-off and
contemplated transactions for the benefit of unpaid creditors. The measure of insolvency and applicable legal capital requirements will vary depending upon the jurisdiction whose law is being applied. </P>

its expectations as to the post-spin-off operating performance and cash flow of each of Lands&#146; End and Sears Holdings and its analysis of the post-spin-off assets and liabilities of each company. In addition, it is a condition to the

the solvency of each of Lands&#146; End and Sears Holdings. We cannot assure you that a court, regulator or other governmental entity would reach the same conclusions as to solvency or the satisfaction of legal capital requirements in connection

laws (including compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002), tax administration, and legal and human-resources related functions. Although we expect that a number of these functions will continue to be performed by subsidiaries of Sears Holdings
following the spin-off, we will be required to, among other things, create or revise the roles and duties of board committees, adopt additional internal controls and disclosure controls and procedures, retain a transfer agent and adopt an insider
trading policy in compliance with our obligations under the securities laws. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We also expect that being a public company subject to
additional laws, rules and regulations will require the investment of additional resources to ensure ongoing compliance with these laws, rules and regulations. In addition, these laws, rules and regulations may make it more difficult and more
expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more
difficult for us to attract and retain qualified executive officers and qualified persons to serve on our board of directors, and in particular to serve on our audit committee. </P>

and real value, and we seek to deliver timeless style for men, women, kids and the home. Lands&#146; End was founded 50 years ago in Chicago by Gary Comer and his partners to sell sailboat
hardware and equipment by catalog. While our product focus has shifted significantly over the years, we have continued to adhere to our founder&#146;s motto as one of our guiding principles: &#147;Take care of the customer, take care of the employee
and the rest will take care of itself.&#148; We conduct our operations in two reportable business segments: Direct (sold through e-commerce websites and direct-mail catalogs) and Retail (sold through stores), and offer a product mix that includes
outerwear, swimwear, specialty apparel, kids clothing, accessories, footwear and home products. The nature of operations conducted within each of these segments is discussed in Note 12&#151;Segment Reporting of the combined financial statements.

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our historical combined financial statements have been prepared on a standalone basis and have been derived from the consolidated financial
statements of Sears Holdings and accounting records of Sears Holdings. The combined financial statements include Lands&#146; End, Inc. and subsidiaries and certain other items related to the Lands&#146; End business which are currently held by Sears
Holdings, primarily the Lands&#146; End Shops at Sears. These items will be contributed by Sears Holdings to Lands&#146; End, Inc. prior to the separation. These historical combined financial statements reflect our financial position, results of
operations and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (&#147;GAAP&#148;). </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Impacts from Our Spin-Off from Sears Holdings </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our business currently consists of the Lands&#146; End business. Sears Holdings has determined to separate Lands&#146; End from Sears Holdings
by distributing 100% of the shares of our common stock to the stockholders of Sears Holdings. Immediately following completion of the distribution, Sears Holdings stockholders will own 100% of the outstanding shares of our common stock. We expect
that ESL will beneficially own approximately 48.4% of our outstanding common stock following completion of the distribution. After completion of the distribution, we will operate as a publicly traded company independent from Sears Holdings, which
will have a range of impacts on our operations: </P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>General administrative and separation costs</I>. Historically, we have used the
corporate functions of Sears Holdings for a variety of shared services. We were allocated (1)&nbsp;$0.8 million in 2012; (2)&nbsp;$0.5 million in 2011; and (3)&nbsp;$0.1 million in 2010 of shared services costs incurred by Sears Holdings. We were
also allocated $0.1 million of shared services costs incurred by Sears Holdings in each of the first, second and third quarters of 2013. We believe that the assumptions and methodologies underlying the allocation of these expenses from Sears
Holdings are reasonable. However, such expenses may not be indicative of the actual level of expense that would have been or will be incurred by us when we operate as a publicly traded company independent from Sears Holdings. We expect to enter into
agreements with Sears Holdings for the continuation of certain of these services on a transitional basis. We believe that the existing arrangements, as reflected in the historical financial statements contained herein, are not materially different
from the arrangements that will be entered into as part of the spin-off. We believe that it will not be necessary to employ a significant number of new employees to perform these transition services. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We will also incur increased costs as a result of becoming a publicly traded company independent from Sears Holdings. As a standalone company,
we expect to incur incremental costs to support our businesses, including management personnel, legal, finance, and human resources as well as certain costs associated with being a public company. These additional annual operating charges are

use same store sales as a key measure in evaluating performance. Same store sales amounts within the following discussion include sales for all stores operating for a period of at least 12 full months where selling square footage has not changed by
15% or more within the past year. A store is included in same store sales calculations on the first day it has comparable prior year sales. Stores in which the selling square footage has changed by 15% or more as a result of a remodel, expansion or
reduction are excluded from same store calculations until the first day they have comparable prior year sales. Online sales and sales generated through our in-store computer kiosks are considered revenue in our Direct segment and are excluded from

year, a decrease of $8.0 million, or 1%. The decrease was attributable to a decrease in our Retail segment revenue of $16.7 million partially offset by an increase in our Direct segment revenue of $8.7 million. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Direct segment revenues were $860.8 million for the 39 weeks ended November&nbsp;1, 2013, an increase of $8.7 million, or 1% from the prior
year. The increase in Direct segment revenues was driven by increases in our U.S. businesses of $22.9 million, partially offset by a decrease in our International business of $14.2 million. </P>

decrease was primarily due to increased markdowns in our International and U.S. consumer businesses in response to increased promotional activity in the marketplace as a result of an unseasonably cold spring, partially offset by improved customer
response to our fall merchandise strategy changes. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Retail segment gross margin was $73.7 million, or 42.9% of total Retail segment

segment revenues was due to lower sales in our U.S. consumer and International businesses of $147.9 million, primarily due to lower revenue from of our fall/winter assortment resulting from changes in our merchandising strategy, partially offset by
growth in our School Uniform and Lands&#146; End Business Outfitters business of $24.0 million. </P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Retail segment revenues were $281.8
million in 2012, a decrease of $15.7 million, or 5%, compared to 2011. Same store sales decreased 3% compared to the prior year. Retail segment revenues declined primarily due to a decrease in same store sales and were also impacted by the closure
of 13 Lands&#146; End Shops at Sears, which accounted for approximately $7.2 million of the decline. Sales were affected in the second half of the year due to lower than expected sales of our fall/winter product assortment as a result of changes to

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Goodwill, trade names and other intangible assets are generally tested separately for impairment on an annual basis, or are evaluated for
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The majority of our goodwill and intangible assets relate to Kmart&#146;s acquisition of Sears Roebuck in March 2005. The calculation
for an impairment loss compares the carrying value of the asset to that asset&#146;s estimated fair value, which may be based on estimated future discounted cash flows or quoted market prices. We recognize an impairment loss if the asset&#146;s
carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Frequently our impairment loss calculations contain multiple uncertainties because they
require management to make assumptions and to apply judgment to estimate future cash flows and asset fair values, including forecasting cash flows under different scenarios. As required by accounting standards, we perform annual goodwill and
indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment tests on the last day of our November accounting period each year and update the tests between annual tests if events or circumstances occur that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a
reporting unit or indefinite-lived intangible asset below its carrying amount. However, if actual results are not consistent with our estimates and assumptions used in estimating future cash flows and asset fair values, we may be exposed to losses
that could be material. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Goodwill impairment assessments</I>. Our goodwill resides in the Direct reporting unit. The goodwill
impairment test involves a two-step process. The first step is a comparison of the reporting unit&#146;s fair value to its carrying value. We estimate fair value using the best information available, using both a market approach, as well as a
discounted cash flow model, commonly referred to as the income approach. The market approach determines the value of the reporting unit by deriving market multiples for the reporting unit based on assumptions potential market participants would use
in establishing a bid price for the reporting unit. This approach therefore assumes strategic initiatives will result in improvements in operational performance in the event of purchase, and includes the application of a discount rate based on
market participant assumptions with respect to capital structure and access to capital markets. The income approach uses a reporting unit&#146;s projection of estimated operating results and cash flows that is discounted using a weighted-average
cost of capital that reflects current market conditions appropriate to our reporting unit. The projection uses management&#146;s best estimates of economic and market conditions over the projected period, including growth rates in sales, costs,
estimates of future expected changes in operating margins and cash expenditures. Other significant estimates and assumptions include terminal value growth rates, future estimates of capital expenditures and changes in future working capital
requirements. Our final estimate of the fair value of the reporting unit is developed by weighting the fair values determined through both the market participant and income approaches, where comparable market participant information is available.
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If the carrying value of the reporting unit is higher than its fair value, there is an indication that impairment may exist and the
second step must be performed to measure the amount of impairment loss. The amount of impairment is determined by comparing the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill to the carrying value of the goodwill in the same manner as if the
reporting unit was being acquired in a business combination. Specifically, we allocate the fair value to all of the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit, including any unrecognized intangible assets, in a hypothetical analysis that would
calculate the implied fair value of goodwill. If the implied fair value of goodwill is less than the recorded goodwill, we record an impairment charge for the difference. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">During 2012, 2011 and 2010, the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded the carrying value and,
as such, we did not record any goodwill impairment charges. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The use of different assumptions, estimates or judgments in the first step of
the goodwill impairment testing process, such as the estimated future cash flows of our reporting units, the discount rate used to discount such cash flows, and the market multiples of comparable companies, could significantly increase or decrease
the estimated fair value of a reporting unit. At the 2012 annual impairment test date, the conclusion that no indication of goodwill impairment existed for the reporting unit would not have changed had the test been conducted assuming: (1)&nbsp;a
100 basis point increase in the discount rate used to discount the aggregate estimated cash flows of our reporting units to their net present value in determining their estimated fair values and/or (2)&nbsp;a 100 basis point decrease in the
estimated sales growth rate and/or terminal period growth rate. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Based on our sensitivity analysis, we do not believe that the goodwill
balance is at risk of impairment because the fair value is substantially in excess of the carrying value and not at risk of failing step one. However, goodwill impairment charges may be recognized in future periods to the extent changes in factors
or circumstances occur, including deterioration in the macroeconomic environment, retail industry or in the equity markets, deterioration in our performance or our future projections, or changes in our plans for one or more reporting units. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment assessments. </I>We review our indefinite-lived intangible asset, primarily the Lands&#146;
End trade name, for impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to the sum of undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. We consider the income approach when testing the intangible asset with indefinite life for
impairment on an annual basis. We determined that the income approach, specifically the relief from royalty method, was most appropriate for analyzing our indefinite-lived asset. This method is based on the assumption that, in lieu of ownership, a
firm would be willing to pay a royalty in order to exploit the related benefits of this asset class. The relief from royalty method involves two steps: (1)&nbsp;estimation of reasonable royalty rates for the assets and (2)&nbsp;the application of
these royalty rates to a net sales stream and discounting the resulting cash flows to determine a value. We multiplied the selected royalty rate by the forecasted net sales stream to calculate the cost savings (relief from royalty payment)
associated with the asset. The cash flows are then discounted to present value by the selected discount rate and compared to the carrying value of the asset. We did not record any intangible asset impairment charges in 2012, 2011 or 2010. <I>
</I></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The use of different assumptions, estimates or judgments in our intangible asset impairment testing process, such as the estimated
future cash flows of assets and the discount rate used to discount such cash flows, could significantly increase or decrease the estimated fair value of the asset, and therefore, impact the related impairment charge. At the 2012 annual impairment
test date, the above-noted conclusion that no indication of intangible asset impairment existed at the test date would not have changed had the test been conducted assuming: (1)&nbsp;a 100&nbsp;basis point increase in the discount rate used to
discount the aggregate estimated cash flows of our assets to their net present value in determining their estimated fair values (without any change in the aggregate estimated cash flows of our intangibles), (2)&nbsp;a 100 basis point decrease in the
terminal period growth rate without a change in the discount rate of each intangible, or (3)&nbsp;a 10 basis point decrease in the royalty rate applied to the forecasted net sales stream of our assets. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Based on our sensitivity analysis, we do not believe that the indefinite-lived intangible asset balance is at risk of impairment at the end of
the year because the fair values are substantially in excess of the carrying values. However, indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment charges may be recognized in future periods to the extent changes in factors or circumstances occur, including
deterioration in the macroeconomic environment, retail industry, deterioration in our performance or our future projections, or changes in our plans for our indefinite-lived intangible asset. </P>

multi-channel retailer of casual clothing, accessories and footwear, as well as home products. We offer products through catalogs, online at <I>www.landsend.com</I> and affiliated specialty and international websites, and through retail locations,
primarily at Lands&#146; End Shops at Sears and standalone Lands&#146; End Inlet stores. We are a classic American lifestyle brand with a passion for quality, legendary service and real value, and we seek to deliver timeless style for men, women,
kids and the home. Lands&#146; End was founded 50 years ago in Chicago by Gary Comer and his partners to sell sailboat hardware and equipment by catalog. While our product focus has shifted significantly over the years, we have continued to adhere
to our founder&#146;s motto as one of our guiding principles: &#147;Take care of the customer, take care of the employee and the rest will take care of itself.&#148; </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In 2012, we generated revenue of approximately $1.6 billion. Our revenues are generated worldwide through an international, multi-channel
network in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Austria and Japan. This network reinforces and supports sales across the multiple channels in which we do business. In 2012, sales outside the United States totaled approximately
$259.3 million, or 16.3% of revenue. </P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We operate in two reportable segments, Direct (sold through e-commerce websites and direct-mail
catalogs, which in 2012 comprised approximately 82% of our revenue, or $1.3 billion) and Retail (sold through stores, which in 2012 comprised approximately 18% of our revenue, or $281.8 million), and we offer merchandise that includes men&#146;s,
women&#146;s and kids&#146; apparel, outerwear and swimwear; specialty apparel; accessories; footwear; and home products. Historically, catalogs have been our primary source of sales. Over time, we have expanded our Direct sales through the Internet
and created a Retail segment to bring the Lands&#146; End catalog to life. Online sales represented approximately 80% of our U.S. consumer revenue in 2012, up from approximately 20% in 2002. In addition, Lands&#146; End Business Outfitters offers
business casual apparel and an&nbsp;extensive variety of promotional products that can be embroidered to enhance a partner company&#146;s image. Lastly, the Lands&#146; End School Uniform business provides high-quality school uniforms and
school-appropriate clothing designed to meet dress-code requirements. </P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Lands&#146; End was founded in Chicago by Gary Comer in 1963.
Lands&#146; End, Inc. was incorporated in Delaware in 1986 and in June 2002 was acquired by Sears Roebuck, a company that is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Sears Holdings. The address of our principal executive offices is 1 Lands&#146; End Lane,

believe that we have a strong track record of improving the customer service experience through innovation. We believe that we were the first apparel retailer to offer shoppers a toll-free number and the first apparel retailer to have an
e-commerce-enabled website, which we launched in 1995. We believe that we have been at the forefront of many online innovations in our industry, such as online chat and personalization features. Today, Lands&#146; End is focused on making the
shopping experience as easy and personalized as possible, regardless of whether our customers shop online, by phone or in one of our Lands&#146; End Shops at Sears. Our operations, including prompt order fulfillment, responsiveness to our
customers&#146; requests and our unconditional return policy of Guaranteed. Period.<SUP STYLE="font-size:85%; vertical-align:top">&reg;</SUP>, have contributed to our award-winning customer service, which we believe is one of our core strengths and
a key point of differentiation from our competitors. Lands&#146; End is often recognized in the industry for outstanding customer service; for example, beginning in 2006, the National Retail Federation recognized Lands&#146; End as one of the top
retailers for customer service for the six consecutive years in which the ranking was published. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Digital transformation. </I></B>As

products through catalogs and email communications, our customers can choose from several ordering methods&#151;Internet, phone, mail, or in-store computer kiosks. We are rated as one of the top seven digital apparel retailers by the NPD Group, a
market research and advisory firm. The Lands&#146; End Facebook page has garnered more than one million likes from our customers. We strive to create a one-on-one relationship with each customer; in many instances, we tailor our interactions with
our customers by sending them catalogs or emails that we think are relevant to them based on their past order history or other information. We also offer customers specialty services such as monogramming, embroidery and hemming pants to length.
Moreover, with the exception of orders requiring specialty services, we promptly fill each customer&#146;s order, usually shipping it out the next business day. We also operate three call centers out of Dodgeville, Reedsburg and Stevens Point,
Wisconsin. Our call centers are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week and 364 days a year. We believe that our well-trained, U.S.-based call center representatives are a significant competitive advantage because they allow us to provide real-time

</B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Environment.</I> We have implemented a multi-year initiative to reduce paper consumption by sending smaller catalogs to
better-defined customer segments based on those customers&#146; preferences. These efforts have significantly reduced our overall U.S. catalog paper consumption and we continue to seek to improve our use of technology to achieve even greater gains
in this area. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In 2009, we collaborated with Sears Holdings to update and release a revised Sustainable Paper Procurement Policy. The
Sustainable Paper Procurement Policy is a commitment to phase out fiber from unwanted sources, and procure paper sourced from credibly certified forest sources with verified chain-of-custody and/or recycled sources with a preference for
post-consumer recycled. The policy also outlines supplier requirements and a preferred sustainable supplier program. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Additionally, we
believe that we also demonstrate marketplace leadership by participating in industry educational workshops and initiatives. We select recycled paper for use in our catalog materials based on ecological values, quality, availability and cost. Our
catalog covers contain 10% post-consumer waste. The remainder of our catalog paper contains 100% chain-of-custody-certified fiber. This paper is third-party certified through programs such as the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest
Certification, the Sustainable Forestry Initiative and the Forest Stewardship Council. In 2012, we reused or recycled 88% of waste generated at our corporate headquarters. Moreover, we are improving how products are shipped to customers. Between
2003 and 2012, use of corrugated cardboard packaging was reduced by 25% year over year. In addition, the corrugated cardboard we use now contains 65% recycled fiber. </P>

of consumables and natural resources. In addition, we have a broad range of recycling and waste management initiatives at our corporate office to address our use of paper products, aluminum cans, glass and plastic as well as maintenance operations,
disposal of non-recyclables and water management. We consistently monitor our efforts in each of these areas and constantly look for improvements. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Purchasing recycled products is a significant component of the larger recycling picture. We continue to maintain an assertive program to buy
non-catalog paper products made from recycled materials. Other materials purchased with recycled content include recharged laser printer cartridges, file folders, paper towels, toilet paper, trash cans, pencils, letter holder trays and brown manila
envelopes. Lands&#146; End has formed a strategic partnership with the National Forest Foundation and funded the planting of trees in the national forests in northern Wisconsin and Michigan&#146;s Upper Peninsula. </P>

the City of Dodgeville to recover overpaid taxes resulting from the city&#146;s excessive assessment of the Company&#146;s headquarters campus. As of December&nbsp;1, 2013, the courts reviewing these claims have ordered the city to return, and the
city has refunded, over $3.2 million in excessive taxes and interest to Lands&#146; End, including approximately $1.6 million for the case involving the 2005 and 2006 tax years, that was recognized in fiscal 2009, and a partial recovery of
approximately $1.6 million for the consolidated cases, involving the 2007, 2009 and 2010 tax years, recognized in fiscal 2013 and for which we have appealed seeking the remainder of our claim of $1.2 million plus additional interest. In September
2013, the Wisconsin Court of Appeals awarded us $725,000 in tax reimbursement plus an as-yet uncalculated amount of interest on our claim relating to the 2008 tax year, which the City of Dodgeville has not yet paid and has appealed. Excluding the
claim relating to the 2005 and 2006 tax years for which all appeals have been exhausted, we believe our outstanding claims covering the still-disputed tax years from 2007 through 2012 may yield a potential aggregate recovery from the City of
Dodgeville of up to $4.6 million, none of which has been recorded in the combined financial statements. </P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Pledged Assets </B></P>

determined by the Sears Holdings Compensation Committee. The compensation that our other named executive officers received prior to the spin-off was determined in part by the Sears Holdings Compensation Committee and in part by the members of senior

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Sears Holdings believes that its long-term success is directly related to its ability to attract, motivate and retain highly talented
associates who are committed to Sears Holdings&#146; mission, key results and cultural beliefs. The Sears Holdings Compensation Committee has developed a compensation philosophy for Sears Holdings&#146; senior officers designed to pay for
performance. Total annual compensation paid to Sears Holdings&#146; senior officers generally depends on Sears Holdings&#146; financial performance, the level of job responsibility and </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">
individual performance, as well as the need to attract top executive talent or motivate key executives. The total compensation package provided to Sears Holdings&#146; senior officers generally
includes both annual and long-term incentive programs that are linked with performance or are otherwise &#147;at risk&#148; due to market fluctuations and risk of forfeiture. Sears Holdings&#146; compensation packages are thus designed to motivate
and encourage employees to drive performance and achieve superior results for Sears Holdings and its stockholders. The Sears Holdings Compensation Committee also believes that compensation should reflect the value of the job in the marketplace.
While the Sears Holdings Compensation Committee&#146;s objective is to approve compensation and benefits packages that reflect the pay-for-performance compensation philosophy, it recognizes that Sears Holdings must sometimes provide additional
inducements to recruit, motivate and retain top-qualified executives. The Sears Holdings Compensation Committee also noted the approval of executive compensation by Sears Holdings&#146; stockholders by a large majority in the advisory vote on this
subject held at its 2013 annual meeting of stockholders and believes that this affirms Sears Holdings&#146; stockholders&#146; support for Sears Holdings&#146; approach to executive compensation. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Sears Holdings&#146; Competitive Pay Practices </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Sears Holdings&#146; experience demonstrates that in order to attract qualified external candidates and motivate valuable senior officers,
Sears Holdings&#146; must offer executive compensation packages that are competitive with the packages offered by companies with which Sears Holdings competes for talent. In making compensation recommendations for its senior officers Sears Holdings
analyzes internal compensation and external market data. Sears Holdings gathers market data with a focus, where appropriate, on retail-specific and online-specific organizations. Sears Holdings does not benchmark against a set list of competitors or
a peer group as Sears Holdings believes that its competitive pay analyses provide a reference point in validating proposed or recommended compensation, thereby assuring that executives are offered competitive pay packages. </P>

opportunities include annual and long-term performance-based programs designed to drive long-term performance through effective decision making while also incenting appropriate short-term decision making. In addition, time-based cash and/or equity
awards (i.e., equity that vests with the passage of time and thus is &#147;at risk&#148;) are made to provide additional motivation and encourage retention. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">When making individual compensation decisions for its executives, Sears Holdings takes many factors into account, including the
individual&#146;s performance and experience; the performance of Sears Holdings overall; retention risk; the responsibilities, impact and importance of the position within Sears Holdings; the individual&#146;s expected future contributions to Sears
Holdings; the individual&#146;s historical compensation; and internal pay equity. There is no pre-established policy or target for the allocation between annual and long-term incentive compensation. Instead, Sears Holdings takes a holistic approach
to executive compensation and balances the compensation elements for each executive individually. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>How Elements Are Used to Achieve
Sears Holdings&#146; Compensation Objectives </I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In 2013, the Sears Holdings Compensation Committee sought to achieve the objectives
of Sears Holdings&#146; compensation program through the grant of annual or long-term incentive awards, or both, to certain executives. The 2013 annual incentive awards offer participating executives an opportunity for cash compensation based upon
Sears Holdings EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) or a combination of Sears Holdings EBITDA and business unit operating profit (&#147;BOP&#148;) performance during the fiscal year, and, therefore, reward
participating executives for achieving short-term financial performance goals. The Sears Holdings Compensation Committee also granted long-term performance-based awards to certain of its executives that become payable following the three-year
performance cycle upon achievement of EBITDA or a combination of EBITDA and BOP targets in any year during the three-year performance period. The 2013 long-term incentive awards are designed to motivate Sears Holdings&#146; participating executives
to focus on the long-term financial performance of Sears Holdings. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Sears Holdings Compensation Committee also believes that the most
fair and effective way to motivate Sears Holdings&#146; executives to produce the best results for its stockholders is to increase the proportion of an executive&#146;s total compensation that is performance-based or otherwise &#147;at risk,&#148;
including time-based cash and equity compensation, as the executive&#146;s ability to affect those results increases. Additionally, the Sears Holdings Compensation Committee believes that the value of incentive compensation should depend upon the
performance of Sears Holdings and/or its business units in a given performance period or over the applicable vesting period. Under Sears Holdings&#146; incentive compensation structure, the highest amount of compensation can be achieved through
consistent superior performance over sustained periods of time. This approach is designed to provide an incentive to manage Sears Holdings for the long term, while minimizing excessive risk taking in the short term. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The targets established for our named executive officers in 2013 under the Sears Holdings Annual Incentive Plan (&#147;SHC AIP&#148;) were
calculated based on a multiple of base salary. The multiple, which was 0.65 for Mr.&nbsp;Rosera and 1.0 for Mr.&nbsp;Huber, is based upon the participating executive&#146;s relative level of responsibility and potential to affect Sears
Holdings&#146; overall performance. SHC AIP opportunities for the participating executives are generally established when the Sears Holdings Compensation Committee approves a new annual incentive plan or at the time a compensation package for a
participating executive is otherwise approved. The performance-based long-term awards granted to Sears Holdings&#146; participating executives under the long-term incentive plan in 2013 were also calculated based on a multiple of base salary. The
multiple, which ranged from 1.0 to 1.5, is based upon the participating executive&#146;s relative level of responsibility and potential to affect Sears Holdings&#146; overall performance. Due to the fact that the participating executive&#146;s base
salary is determined, in part, on his or her past performance, an award that is based on a multiple of that base salary also reflects, in part, his or her past performance. </P>

relation to the annual and long-term incentive awards granted to Sears Holdings&#146; executives. The impact of Section&nbsp;162(m) on compensation awarded to Sears Holdings&#146; executives is described in &#147;&#151;Certain Tax Consequences&#148;

responsibility and accountability at the business unit level. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In establishing financial business goals for the fiscal year to be approved
by the Sears Holdings Compensation Committee, factors such as Sears Holdings&#146; prior fiscal year financial business results, the competitive situation, evaluation of market trends, as well as the general state of the economy and the business all
were considered. For 2013, threshold and target performance goals were established for Sears Holdings EBITDA and the BOP components. The threshold level of performance under the SHC AIP for 2013 for Messrs. Huber and Rosera was approximately 84% of
target. The threshold level of the performance for the Lands&#146; End BOP component of the SHC AIP generates payouts at 20% of target incentive opportunity. The target level performance for the Lands&#146; End BOP component generates payouts of
100% of incentive opportunity. The maximum award payable to senior officers under the SHC AIP for 2013 is 200% of their target incentive award. The incentive payout percentage between threshold and maximum payout is based on a series of
straight-line (linear) interpolations. In addition, any Lands&#146; End performance measure payout that would be greater than 100% of the target incentive award, based upon the interpolated payout curves mentioned above, will be reduced to 100% if
Sears Holdings EBITDA performance is below its threshold level. Further, any Lands&#146; End performance measure payout that is between 50% and 100% of the target incentive award, based upon the interpolated payout curves mentioned above, may be
reduced if Sears Holdings EBITDA performance is below its threshold level. The target award percentage (which is a percentage of the rate of base salary during the performance period) under the SHC AIP for 2013 is 100% for Mr.&nbsp;Huber and 65% for
Mr.&nbsp;Rosera. The amount of the annual cash incentive award ultimately received depends on the achievement of the applicable performance goals. The &#147;Grants of Plan-Based Awards&#148; table below shows the range of possible payments to each
of our participating named executive officers under the SHC AIP for 2013. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The SHC AIP also provides that Sears Holdings will seek
reimbursement from participating executives if Sears Holdings&#146; financial statements or approved financial measures are subject to restatement due to error or misconduct, to the extent permitted by law. </P>

These opportunities consist of awards under (1)&nbsp;the 2013 Long-Term Incentive Structure (the &#147;2013 LTIS&#148;), which consists of a long-term incentive program (the &#147;2013 LTIP&#148;) and a cash long-term incentive plan (the &#147;2013
Cash LTI&#148;); (2)&nbsp;the 2012 Long-Term Incentive Program (the &#147;2012 LTIP&#148;); and (3)&nbsp;the 2011 Long-Term Incentive Program (the &#147;2011 LTIP&#148;). The 2013 LTIP is intended to be a performance-based incentive program
dependent upon the achievement of Sears Holdings financial goals during 2013 through 2015 and the 2013 Cash LTI is intended to be a time-based incentive program. The 2012 LTIP is intended to be a performance-based cash program dependent upon the
achievement of Sears Holdings financial goals during 2012 through 2014. The 2011 LTIP is intended to be a performance-based cash program dependent upon the achievement of Sears Holdings financial goals during 2011 through 2013. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In making compensation decisions, no formal weighting formula is used in determining award amounts under Sears Holdings&#146; long-term
incentive programs. Instead, the Sears Holdings Compensation Committee considers the participating named executive officer&#146;s relative level of responsibility and potential to affect Sears Holdings&#146; overall performance when it awards
long-term performance-based compensation. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Each of Sears Holdings&#146; long-term incentive programs contains a different EBITDA
performance goal. LTIP EBITDA is defined as earnings of Sears Holdings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization for the performance period computed as operating income on Sears Holdings&#146; statement of operations for the applicable
reporting period, other than Sears Canada Inc., excluding depreciation and amortization and gains/(losses) on the sales of assets. In addition, it is adjusted to exclude: </P> <P STYLE="font-size:6pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>

Sears Holdings&#146; practice is to determine the dollar amount of equity compensation and then grant a number of shares of restricted stock having a fair market value equal to that dollar amount on the date of grant. Sears Holdings determines the
fair market value based upon the closing price of its stock on the grant date. Individual grant amounts are generally based on factors such as relative job scope, expected future contributions to Sears Holdings and internal pay equity. Additionally,
restricted stock grants are an effective means of offsetting equity awards that executives may lose when they leave a former company to join Sears Holdings. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Following the spin-off, Lands&#146; End and Sears Holdings will operate separately, each as an independent public company. Prior to the
spin-off, we intend to enter into certain agreements with Sears Holdings that will effect the spin-off, provide a framework for our relationship with Sears Holdings after the spin-off and provide for the allocation between us and Sears Holdings of
Sears Holdings&#146; assets, employees, liabilities and obligations (including its investments, property and tax-related assets and liabilities) attributable to periods prior to, at and after the spin-off. The following is a summary of the terms of
the material agreements that we intend to enter into with Sears Holdings prior to the spin-off. When used in this section, &#147;distribution date&#148; refers to the date on which Sears Holdings distributes our common stock to the holders of Sears
Holdings common stock. </P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The agreements described below that are material will be filed as exhibits to the registration statement of
which this information statement forms a part, and the summaries of each of these agreements set forth the terms of the agreements that we believe are material. These summaries are qualified in their entireties by reference to the full text of the
applicable agreements, which are incorporated by reference into this information statement. The terms of the agreements described below that will be in effect following the spin-off have not yet been finalized; changes to these agreements, some of
which may be material, may be made prior to our entry into such agreements prior to or concurrent with the spin-off. Prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this information statement forms a part, we will disclose any
material changes to these agreements via an amendment to the registration statement. </P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>The Separation and Distribution Agreement </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In connection with the spin-off, we intend to enter into a separation and distribution agreement with Sears Holdings which will set forth,
among other things, our agreements with Sears Holdings regarding the principal transactions necessary to separate Lands&#146; End from Sears Holdings. It will also set forth other agreements that govern certain aspects of our relationship with Sears
Holdings after the spin-off. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The separation and distribution agreement will, among other things, set forth the distribution mechanics and
the conditions thereto, identify the assets to be transferred, the liabilities to be assumed and the contracts to be assigned to each of Lands&#146; End and Sears Holdings in connection with the spin-off, provide for when and how these transfers,
assumptions and assignments will occur, address the treatment of outstanding accounts between Lands&#146; End and Sears Holdings, contain releases and provide a dispute resolution mechanism for disputes that may arise in the future under the
separation and distribution agreement or other agreements entered into between Sears Holdings and Lands&#146; End in connection with the distribution. Generally, assets and liabilities attributable to the Lands&#146; End business will be retained by
or assigned to Lands&#146; End and assets and liabilities not attributable to the Lands&#146; End&#146;s business will be retained by or assigned to Sears Holdings or one of its subsidiaries. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Except as expressly set forth in the separation and distribution agreement or any ancillary agreement, neither Lands&#146; End nor Sears
Holdings will make any representation or warranty as to the assets or liabilities transferred or assumed in connection with the spin-off, as to any approvals or notifications required in connection with the transfers or assumptions, as to the value
of or the freedom from any security interests of any of the assets transferred, as to the absence or presence of any defenses or right of setoff or freedom from counterclaim with respect to any claim or other asset of either Lands&#146; End or Sears
Holdings, or as to the legal sufficiency of any assignment, document or instrument delivered to convey title to any asset to be transferred in connection with the spin-off. All assets will be transferred on an &#147;as is,&#148; &#147;where is&#148;
basis and the respective transferees will bear the economic and legal risks that any conveyance will prove to be insufficient to vest in the transferee good and marketable title, free and clear of all security interests, and that any necessary
consents or governmental approvals are not obtained or that any requirements of laws, agreements, security interests, or judgments are not complied with. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The separation and distribution agreement will provide that it may be terminated and the spin-off may be modified or abandoned at any time
prior to the distribution date in the sole discretion of Sears Holdings without the approval of any person, including Lands&#146; End&#146;s or Sears Holdings&#146; stockholders. </P>

Lands&#146; End and Sears Holdings following the spin-off is presented based on the allocation of such assets and liabilities pursuant to the separation and distribution agreement and the related ancillary agreements, unless the context otherwise

transition services agreement in connection with the spin-off pursuant to which Lands&#146; End and SHMC and their respective affiliates will provide to each other, on an interim, transitional basis, various services, which may include, but are not
limited to, treasury administration, logistics services, auditing and compliance services, information technology services, regulatory, promotional, and marketing activities for Lands&#146; End&#146;s products, general administrative services, and
other support services. The services generally will commence on the distribution date and will terminate up to 12&nbsp;months following the distribution date. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Subject to certain exceptions, the liabilities of each party providing services under the transition services agreements will generally be
limited to the aggregate profits of the party acting as the service provider. The transition services agreements also provide that the provider of a service will not be liable to the recipient of the service for any special, indirect, incidental or
consequential damages. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Tax Sharing Agreement </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Lands&#146; End and Sears Holdings will enter into a tax sharing agreement prior to the spin-off which will generally govern Sears
Holdings&#146; and Lands&#146; End&#146;s respective rights, responsibilities and obligations after the spin-off with respect to liabilities for U.S. federal, state, local and foreign taxes attributable to the Lands&#146; End business. In addition
to the allocation of tax liabilities, the tax sharing agreement will address the preparation and filing of tax returns for such taxes and disputes with taxing authorities regarding such taxes. Generally, Sears Holdings will be liable for all
pre-spin-off U.S. federal, state and local taxes, other than non-income taxes that are accrued and unpaid as of the distribution date. Lands&#146; End generally will be liable for all other taxes attributable to its business, including all foreign
taxes. Under the tax sharing agreement, there will be restrictions on the ability of the parties to take actions that could cause the spin-off to fail to qualify for tax-free treatment under the Code. These restrictions may prevent each party from
entering into transactions which might be advantageous to the parties or their stockholders. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Other Agreements </B></P>

agreement pursuant to which Sears Roebuck will lease or sublease to us the leases for the premises of Lands&#146; End Shops at Sears where the lease for such store permits the subletting of the lease or where Sears Roebuck is able to obtain landlord
consent to such assignment or sublease. The master lease agreement and master sublease agreement, as applicable, will set forth the terms and conditions on which we will be permitted to occupy certain space within the Sears stores in order to
operate our Lands&#146; End Shops at Sears in such locations. The agreements will provide us rights to use the space in which our store will operate and we will pay rent directly to Sears Roebuck on the terms negotiated in connection with the

more efficient allocation of capital for both Sears Holdings and Lands&#146; End and mitigate the competition for capital that currently exists between Lands&#146; End and other Sears Holdings business units. The Sears Holdings board of directors
believes that the financial terms of the spin-off are appropriate for Lands&#146; End based on its review of the separated company&#146;s anticipated operating performance and cash flows, anticipated financial covenants, anticipated business plans
including strategic international expansion and general economic conditions, and analysis of the leverage, capitalization, and cash flow profiles of comparable companies. In addition, the spin-off should increase the overall borrowing capacity of
Lands&#146; End, which would allow Lands&#146; End greater flexibility to issue new debt financing to fund organic growth through capital expenditures or to pursue acquisition-based growth. </TD></TR></TABLE>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If you own Sears Holdings common stock as of the record date, shares of Lands&#146; End common
stock that you are entitled to receive in the spin-off will be issued electronically, as of the distribution date, to you or to your bank or brokerage firm on your behalf in direct registration form. If you are a registered holder, [<FONT
STYLE="FONT-FAMILY:'WINGDINGS 2'">&#151;</FONT>] will then mail you a direct registration account statement that reflects your shares of Lands&#146; End common stock. If you hold your shares through a bank or brokerage firm, your bank or brokerage
firm will credit your account for the shares. Direct registration form refers to a method of recording share ownership when no physical share certificates are issued to stockholders, as is the case in the distribution. If you sell Sears Holdings
common stock in the &#147;regular-way&#148; market after the record date and before the distribution, you will also be selling your right to receive shares of Lands&#146; End common stock in the distribution. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Most Sears Holdings stockholders hold their shares of Sears Holdings common stock through a bank or brokerage firm. In such cases, the bank or
brokerage firm would be said to hold the shares in &#147;street name&#148; and ownership would be recorded on the bank or brokerage firm&#146;s books. If you hold your shares of Sears Holdings common stock through a bank or brokerage firm, your bank
or brokerage firm will credit your account for the Lands&#146; End common stock that you are entitled to receive in the distribution. If you have any questions concerning the mechanics of having shares held in &#147;street name,&#148; please contact
your bank or brokerage firm. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Transferability of Shares You Receive </B></P>

without registration under the Securities Act, except for shares received by persons who may be deemed to be our affiliates. Persons who may be deemed to be our affiliates after the distribution generally include individuals or entities that
control, are controlled by or are under common control with Lands&#146; End, which may include certain Lands&#146; End executive officers, directors or principal stockholders. Securities held by our affiliates will be subject to resale restrictions
under the Securities Act. Our affiliates will be permitted to sell shares of Lands&#146; End common stock only pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, such as the
exemption afforded by Rule&nbsp;144 under the Securities Act. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Number of Shares of Lands&#146; End Common Stock You Will Receive </B></P>

STYLE="FONT-FAMILY:'WINGDINGS 2'">&#151;</FONT>] shares of Lands&#146; End common stock on the distribution date. Sears Holdings will not distribute any fractional shares of Lands&#146; End common stock to its stockholders. Instead, if you are a
registered holder, [<FONT STYLE="FONT-FAMILY:'WINGDINGS 2'">&#151;</FONT>] will aggregate fractional shares into whole shares, sell the whole shares in the open market at prevailing market prices and distribute the aggregate cash proceeds, net of
brokerage commissions and other costs (the &#147;aggregate net cash proceeds&#148;), of the sales <I>pro rata</I> (based on the fractional share such holder would otherwise be entitled to receive) to each holder who otherwise would have been
entitled to receive a fractional share in the distribution. The distribution agent, in its sole discretion, without any influence by Sears Holdings or Lands&#146; End, will determine when, how, through which
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">broker-dealer</FONT> and at what price to sell the whole shares. Any <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">broker-dealer</FONT> used by the distribution agent will not be an affiliate of either Sears Holdings or
Lands&#146; End. Neither we nor Sears Holdings will be able to guarantee any minimum sale price in connection with the sale of these shares. Recipients of cash in lieu of fractional shares will not be entitled to any interest on the amounts of
payment made in lieu of fractional shares. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The aggregate cash proceeds of these sales, net of brokerage fees and other expenses, will be
taxable for U.S. federal income tax purposes. See &#147;Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences&#148; for an explanation of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the spin-off. If you hold physical certificates for Sears Holdings
shares and are the registered holder, you will receive a check from the distribution agent in an amount equal to your <I>pro rata</I> share of the aggregate cash proceeds of the sales net of brokerage fees and other expenses. We estimate that it
will take approximately two weeks from the distribution date for the distribution agent to complete the distributions of the aggregate net cash proceeds. If you hold your Sears Holdings common stock </P>

Lands&#146; End common stock. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Before the spin-off, we will enter into a separation and distribution agreement and other agreements with
Sears Holdings or its subsidiaries to effect the spin-off and provide a framework for our relationship with Sears Holdings after the spin-off. These agreements will provide for the allocation between us and Sears Holdings of Sears Holdings&#146;
assets, liabilities and obligations (including employee benefits, intellectual property, and tax-related assets and liabilities) attributable to periods prior to our spin-off from Sears Holdings and will govern the relationship between Sears
Holdings and Lands&#146; End after the spin-off. For a more detailed description of these agreements, see &#147;Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions&#151;Our Relationship with Sears Holdings Following the Spin-Off.&#148; </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We cannot predict the price at which our common stock will trade after the spin-off. In fact, the combined trading prices, after the spin-off,
of the shares of Lands&#146; End common stock that each Sears Holdings stockholder will receive in the distribution and the shares Sears Holdings common stock held as of the record date may not equal the &#147;regular-way&#148; trading price of a
Sears Holdings share immediately prior to the spin-off. The price at which Lands&#146; End common stock trades may fluctuate significantly, particularly until an orderly public market develops. Trading prices for Lands&#146; End common stock will be
determined in the public markets and may be influenced by many factors. See &#147;Risk Factors&#151;Risks Related to Our Common Stock.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Trading

distribution date, we expect that there will be two markets in shares of Sears Holdings common stock: a &#147;regular-way&#148; market and an &#147;ex-distribution&#148; market. Shares of Sears Holdings common stock that trade on the
&#147;regular-way&#148; market will trade with an entitlement to Lands&#146; End common stock distributed pursuant to the spin-off. Shares of Sears Holdings common stock that trade on the &#147;ex-distribution&#148; market will trade without an
entitlement to Lands&#146; End common stock distributed pursuant to the spin-off. Therefore, if you sell shares of Sears Holdings common stock in the &#147;regular-way&#148; market after the record date but before distribution, you will be selling
your right to receive Lands&#146; End common stock in the distribution. If you own shares of Sears Holdings common stock as of the record date and sell those shares on the &#147;ex-distribution&#148; market after the record date but before the
distribution, you will receive the shares of common stock that you are entitled to receive pursuant to your ownership as of the record date of the shares of Sears Holdings common stock. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Furthermore, beginning on or shortly before the record date and continuing up to and including the distribution date, we expect that there
will be a &#147;when-issued&#148; market in our common stock. &#147;When-issued&#148; trading refers to a sale or purchase made conditionally because the security has been authorized but not yet issued. The &#147;when-issued&#148; trading market
will be a market for Lands&#146; End common stock that will be distributed to holders of shares of Sears Holdings common stock on the distribution date. If you owned shares of Sears Holdings common stock at the record date, you would be entitled to

representations made by us and Sears Holdings, which if incorrect in certain material respects, would jeopardize the conclusions reached by Simpson Thacher&nbsp;&amp; Bartlett LLP in its opinion. The opinion of counsel will not be binding on the IRS

not seek any ruling from the IRS regarding any matters relating to the spin-off, and as a result, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a position contrary to the conclusions set forth below. In

to the DGCL, a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party to or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than
an action by or in the right of such corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such corporation, or serving at the request of such corporation in such capacity for another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, if such
person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of such corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct
was unlawful. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The DGCL also permits indemnification by a corporation under similar circumstances for expenses (including attorneys&#146;

respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to such corporation unless the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that
such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court shall deem proper. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">To the extent a present
or former director or officer is successful in the defense of such an action, suit or proceeding, the corporation is required by the DGCL to indemnify such person for actual and reasonable expenses incurred thereby. Expenses (including
attorneys&#146; fees) incurred by an officer or director of the corporation in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such
action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to be so indemnified. Such expenses (including attorneys&#146;
fees) incurred by former directors and officers or other employees and agents of the corporation or by persons serving at the request of the corporation as directors, officers, employees or agents of another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the corporation deems appropriate. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The DGCL provides
that the indemnification described above shall not be deemed exclusive of other indemnification that may be granted by a corporation pursuant to its bylaws, disinterested directors&#146; vote, stockholders&#146; vote, agreement or otherwise. The
DGCL also provides corporations with the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation in a similar
capacity for another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not
the corporation would have the power to indemnify him or her against such liability as described above. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Amended and Restated Certificate of

persons friendly to current management, which issuance could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of our company by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise, and thereby protect the continuity of our
management and possibly deprive the stockholders of opportunities to sell their shares of capital stock at prices higher than prevailing market prices. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of the Lands&#146; End Business of Sears Holdings Corporation (the
&#147;Company&#148;) as of February&nbsp;1, 2013 and January&nbsp;27, 2012, and the related combined statements of comprehensive operations, cash flows, and changes in parent company equity for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended
February&nbsp;1, 2013. These combined financial statements are the responsibility of the Company&#146;s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these combined financial statements based on our audits. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the combined financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its
internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Company&#146;s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion<I>. </I>An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In our opinion, such combined financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of
February&nbsp;1, 2013 and January&nbsp;27, 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended February&nbsp;1, 2013, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As discussed in Note 1 and Note 11, the accompanying combined financial statements have been derived from the
consolidated financial statements and accounting records of Sears Holdings Corporation. The combined financial statements also include expense allocations for certain corporate functions historically provided by Sears Holdings Corporation. These
allocations may not be reflective of the actual expense which would have been incurred had the Company operated as a separate entity apart from Sears Holdings Corporation. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Lands&#146; End business of Sears Holdings Corporation (&#147;Lands&#146; End,&#148; &#147;we,&#148; &#147;us,&#148; &#147;our&#148; or the
&#147;Company&#148;) is a leading multi-channel retailer of casual clothing, accessories and footwear, as well as home products. We offer products through catalogs, online at <I>www.landsend.com</I> and affiliated specialty and international
websites, and through retail locations, primarily at Lands&#146; End Shops at Sears and standalone Lands&#146; End Inlet stores that sell a combination of full-price and liquidation merchandise. We are a classic American lifestyle brand with a
passion for quality, legendary service and real value, and we seek to deliver timeless style for men, women, kids and the home. Lands&#146; End was founded 50 years ago in Chicago by Gary Comer and his partners to sell sailboat hardware and
equipment by catalog. While our product focus has shifted significantly over the years, we have continued to adhere to our founder&#146;s motto as one of our guiding principles: &#147;Take care of the customer, take care of the employee and the rest
will take care of itself.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Sears Holdings Corporation announced its intention to separate its Lands&#146; End business from the rest
of its businesses. Sears Holdings Corporation and its subsidiaries (&#147;Sears Holdings&#148;) will transfer all the remaining assets and liabilities of Lands&#146; End that are held at the corporate level to Lands&#146; End, Inc. and its
subsidiaries prior to the completion of the distribution (the &#147;Separation&#148;). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Basis of Presentation </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our historical Combined Financial Statements have been prepared on a standalone basis and have been derived from the consolidated financial
statements of Sears Holdings and accounting records of Sears Holdings. The Combined Financial Statements include Lands&#146; End, Inc. and subsidiaries and certain other items related to the Lands&#146; End business which are currently held by Sears
Holdings, primarily the Lands&#146; End Shops at Sears. These items will be contributed by Sears Holdings to Lands&#146; End, Inc. prior to the Separation. These historical Combined Financial Statements reflect our financial position, results of
operations and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (&#147;GAAP&#148;). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The
Combined Financial Statements include the allocation of certain assets and liabilities that have historically been held at the Sears Holdings level but which are specifically identifiable or allocable to Lands&#146; End. All intracompany
transactions and accounts have been eliminated. All intercompany transactions between Sears Holdings and Lands&#146; End are considered to be effectively settled in the Combined Financial Statements at the time the transactions are recorded. The
total net effect of the settlement of these intercompany transactions is reflected in the Combined Statements of Cash Flows as a financing activity and in the Combined Balance Sheets as Net parent company investment. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As business operations of Sears Holdings, we do not maintain our own tax and certain other corporate support functions. We expect to enter
into agreements with Sears Holdings for the continuation of certain of these services. These expenses have been allocated to Lands&#146; End based on direct usage or benefit where identifiable, with the remainder allocated on a pro rata basis of
revenue, headcount, square footage or other measures. Lands&#146; End considers the expense allocation methodology and results to be reasonable for all periods presented. However, the costs and allocations charged to the Company by Sears Holdings do
not necessarily reflect the costs of obtaining the services from unaffiliated third parties or of the Company providing the applicable services itself. The Combined Financial Statements contained herein may not be indicative of the Company&#146;s
financial position, operating results, and cash flows in the future, or what they would have been if it had been a standalone company during all periods presented. See Note 11&#151;Related Party. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Historically, Sears Holdings has provided financing, cash management and other treasury services to us. Our cash balances are swept by Sears

our operating and investing cash needs. Cash and restricted cash held by Sears Holdings were not allocated to Lands&#146; End unless the cash or restricted cash were held by an entity that will
be transferred to Lands&#146; End. Sears Holdings&#146; third-party debt, and the related interest expense, has not been allocated to us for any of the periods presented as we were not the legal obligor of the debt and the Sears Holdings borrowings
were not directly attributable to our business. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES </B></P>

quarter, reflecting increased demand during the year-end holiday selling season. The impact of seasonality on results of operations is more pronounced since the level of certain fixed costs, such as occupancy and overhead expenses, do not vary with
sales. The Company&#146;s results of operations also may fluctuate based upon such factors as the timing of certain holiday seasons and promotions, the amount of net sales contributed by new and existing stores, the timing and level of markdowns,
competitive factors, weather and general economic conditions. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Use of Estimates </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events. The
estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. The Company evaluates estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Adjustments to estimates and assumptions are made when facts
and circumstances dictate. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty, actual results may differ from the estimates used in preparing the accompanying Combined Financial Statements. Significant estimates and
assumptions are required as part of determining inventory valuation, sales returns and allowances, legal accruals, performing goodwill, intangible and long-lived asset impairment analyses and establishing reserves for tax examination exposures. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Long-lived assets, including property and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets (customer lists) are subject to a review for impairment
if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flows generated by an asset or asset group is less than its carrying amount, the Company
then determines the fair value of the asset generally by using a discounted cash flow model. When an impairment loss is recognized, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its estimated fair value as determined based on quoted market prices
or through the use of other valuation techniques. There were no impairments recognized in 2012, 2011 or 2010. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Goodwill and Intangible Asset
Impairment Assessments </I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Goodwill, trade names and other intangible assets are generally tested separately for impairment on an
annual basis, or are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The majority of our goodwill and intangible assets relate to Kmart Holding Corporation&#146;s
acquisition of Sears, Roebuck and Co. in March 2005. The calculation for an impairment loss compares the carrying value of the asset to that asset&#146;s estimated fair value, which may be based on estimated future discounted cash flows or quoted
market prices. We recognize an impairment loss if the asset&#146;s carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Frequently our
impairment loss calculations contain multiple uncertainties because they require management to make assumptions and to apply judgment to estimate future cash flows and asset fair values, including forecasting cash flows under different scenarios. As
required by accounting standards, we perform annual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment tests on the last day of our November accounting period each year and update the tests between annual tests if events or circumstances
occur that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit or indefinite-lived intangible asset below its carrying amount. However, if actual results are not consistent with our estimates and assumptions used in estimating
future cash flows and asset fair values, we may be exposed to losses that could be material. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Goodwill impairment assessments</I>. Our
goodwill resides in the Direct reporting unit. The goodwill impairment test involves a two-step process. The first step is a comparison of the reporting unit&#146;s fair value to its carrying value. We estimate fair value using the best information
available, using both a market approach, as well as a discounted cash flow model, commonly referred to as the income approach. The market approach determines a value of the reporting unit by deriving market multiples for the reporting unit based on
assumptions potential market participants would use in establishing a bid price for the reporting unit. This approach therefore assumes strategic initiatives will result in improvements in operational performance in the event of purchase, and
includes the application of a discount rate based on market participant assumptions with respect to capital structure and access to capital markets. The income approach uses a reporting unit&#146;s projection of estimated operating results and cash
flows that is discounted using a weighted-average cost of capital that reflects current market conditions appropriate to our reporting unit. The projection uses management&#146;s best estimates of economic and market conditions over the projected
period, including growth rates in sales, costs, estimates of future expected changes in operating margins and cash expenditures. Other significant estimates and assumptions include terminal value growth rates, future estimates of capital
expenditures and changes in future working capital requirements. Our final estimate of the fair value of the reporting unit is developed by weighting the fair values determined through both the market participant and income approaches, where
comparable market participant information is available. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If the carrying value of the reporting unit is higher than its fair value, there
is an indication that impairment may exist and the second step must be performed to measure the amount of impairment loss. The amount of impairment is determined by comparing the implied fair value of reporting unit goodwill to the carrying value of
the goodwill in the same manner as if the reporting unit was being acquired in a business combination. Specifically, we allocate the fair value to all of the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit, including any unrecognized intangible assets,
in a hypothetical analysis that would calculate the implied fair value of goodwill. If the implied fair value of goodwill is less than the recorded goodwill, we record an impairment charge for the difference. </P>

review our indefinite-lived intangible asset, primarily the Lands&#146; End trade name, for impairment by comparing the carrying amount of each asset to the sum of undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. We consider the income
approach when testing the intangible asset with indefinite life for impairment on an annual basis. We determined that the income approach, specifically the relief from royalty method, was most appropriate for analyzing our indefinite-lived asset.
This method is based on the assumption that, in lieu of ownership, a firm would be willing to pay a royalty in order to exploit the related benefits of this asset class. The relief from royalty method involves two steps: (1)&nbsp;estimation of
reasonable royalty rates for the assets and (2)&nbsp;the application of these royalty rates to a net sales stream and discounting the resulting cash flows to determine a value. We multiplied the selected royalty rate by the forecasted net sales
stream to calculate the cost savings (relief from royalty payment) associated with the asset. The cash flows are then discounted to present value by the selected discount rate and compared to the carrying value of the asset. We did not record any
intangible asset impairment charges in 2012, 2011 or 2010. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk </B></P>

entities to report components of other comprehensive income in either (1)&nbsp;a continuous statement of comprehensive income or (2)&nbsp;two separate but consecutive statements of net income and other comprehensive income. This ASU does not change
the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income, how these items are measured, or when these items must be classified to net income. ASU 2011-05 is effective for financial statements issued by the Company after January&nbsp;1, 2012,
and must be applied retroactively for all periods presented in the financial statements. The Company adopted the provision of ASU 2011-05 to report components of other comprehensive income in a single continuous statement. The new guidance affected
presentation only and therefore had no impact on results of operations, cash flows or financial position. </P>

Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (&#147;Adjusted EBITDA&#148;) is the primary measure used to make decisions on allocating resources and assessing performance of each operating segment.
Adjusted EBITDA is computed as Income before income taxes appearing on the Combined Statements of Comprehensive Operations, net of interest expense, depreciation and amortization and other significant items which, while periodically affecting our
results, may vary significantly from period to period and have a disproportionate effect in a given period, which affects comparability of results. Reportable segment assets are those directly used in or clearly allocable to an operating
segment&#146;s operations. Depreciation, amortization and property and equipment expenditures are recognized in each respective segment. There were no material transactions between reporting segments for 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Legal Proceedings </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company is involved
in various claims, legal proceedings and investigations, including those described below. While it is not feasible to predict the outcome of such pending claims, proceedings and investigations with certainty, management is of the opinion that their
ultimate resolution should not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, cash flows, or results of operations, except where noted below. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company is party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. These actions include commercial, intellectual
property, employment, regulatory, and product liability claims. Some of these actions involve complex factual and legal issues and are subject to uncertainties. There are no material legal proceedings presently pending, except for routine litigation
incidental to the business to which the Company is a party or of which any of its property is the subject, and the matters described below. The Company believes that the outcome of any current legal proceeding would not have a material adverse
effect on results of operations, cash flows, or financial position taken as a whole. </P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Beginning in 2005, the Company initiated the
first of several claims in Iowa County Circuit Court against the City of Dodgeville to recover overpaid taxes resulting from the city&#146;s excessive assessment of the Company&#146;s headquarters campus. As of December&nbsp;5, 2013, the courts
reviewing these claims have ordered the city to return, and the city has refunded, over $3.2 million in excessive taxes and interest to the Company, including approximately $1.6 million for the case involving the 2005 and 2006 tax years that was
recognized in 2009, and a partial recovery of approximately $1.6 million for the consolidated cases, involving the 2007, 2009 and 2010 tax years, recognized in 2013 and for which the Company has appealed seeking the remainder of our claim of $1.2
million plus additional interest. In September 2013, the Wisconsin Court of Appeals awarded the Company $725,000 in tax reimbursement plus an as-yet uncalculated amount of interest on the Company&#146;s claim relating to the 2008 tax year, which the
City of Dodgeville has not yet paid and has appealed. Excluding the claim relating to the 2005 and 2006 tax years for which all appeals have been exhausted, the Company believes its outstanding claims covering the still-disputed tax years from 2007
through 2012 may yield a potential aggregate recovery from the City of Dodgeville of up to $4.6 million, none of which has been recorded in the Combined Financial Statements. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company was a party involved in litigation that resulted in a favorable settlement of $10.6 million, reduced by $1.5 million for legal
fees and expenses, relating to a breach of contract and trade secret matter. The gain was recorded during 2010 in Other operating (income) expense, net in the Combined Statements of Comprehensive Operations. </P>

believes all taxes have been paid or accrued based on correct interpretations of applicable law, tax laws are complex and interpretations differ from state to state. It is possible that taxing authorities may make additional assessments in the
future. In addition to taxes, penalties and interest, these assessments could cause the Company to incur legal fees associated with resolving disputes with taxing authorities. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Lands&#146; End and Sears Holdings will enter into a Tax Sharing Agreement prior to the Separation which will generally govern Sears
Holdings&#146; and Lands&#146; End&#146;s respective rights, responsibilities and obligations after the Separation with respect to liabilities for U.S. federal, state, local and foreign taxes attributable to the Lands&#146; End business. In addition
to the allocation of tax liabilities, the Tax Sharing Agreement will address the preparation and filing of tax returns for such taxes and disputes with taxing authorities regarding such taxes. Generally, Sears Holdings will be liable for all
pre-separation U.S. federal, state and local taxes, other than non-income taxes that are accrued and unpaid as of the distribution date. Lands&#146; End generally will be liable for all other taxes attributable to its business, including all foreign
taxes.</P>

of Sears Holdings Corporation (&#147;Lands&#146; End,&#148; &#147;we,&#148; &#147;us,&#148; &#147;our&#148; or the &#147;Company&#148;) is a leading multi-channel retailer of casual clothing, accessories and footwear, as well as home products. We
offer products through catalogs, online at <I>www.landsend.com</I> and affiliated specialty and international websites, and through retail locations, primarily at Lands&#146; End Shops at Sears and standalone Lands&#146; End Inlet stores that sell a
combination of full-price and liquidation merchandise. We are a classic American lifestyle brand with a passion for quality, legendary service and real value, and we seek to deliver timeless style for men, women, kids and the home. Lands&#146; End
was founded 50 years ago in Chicago by Gary Comer and his partners to sell sailboat hardware and equipment by catalog. While our product focus has shifted significantly over the years, we have continued to adhere to our founder&#146;s motto as one
of our guiding principles: &#147;Take care of the customer, take care of the employee and the rest will take care of itself.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Sears
Holdings Corporation announced its intention to separate its Lands&#146; End business from the rest of its businesses. Sears Holdings Corporation and its subsidiaries (&#147;Sears Holdings&#148;) will transfer all the remaining assets and
liabilities of Lands&#146; End that are held at the corporate level to Lands&#146; End, Inc. and its subsidiaries prior to the completion of the distribution (the &#147;Separation&#148;). </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Basis of Presentation </B></P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The financial
data presented herein is unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the Combined Financial Statements and accompanying notes as of February&nbsp;1, 2013 and January&nbsp;27, 2012 and for the three Fiscal Years ended February&nbsp;1,
2013,&nbsp;January&nbsp;27, 2012 and January&nbsp;28, 2011 included elsewhere in this information statement. In the opinion of management, the financial data presented includes all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position,
results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Results for interim periods should not be considered indicative of results for the full year. Our business is seasonal in nature, and we generate a high proportion of our
revenues and operating cash flows during the fourth quarter of our fiscal year, which includes the holiday season. </P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our historical
Condensed Combined Financial Statements have been prepared on a standalone basis and have been derived from the consolidated financial statements of Sears Holdings and accounting records of Sears Holdings. The Condensed Combined Financial Statements
include Lands&#146; End, Inc. and subsidiaries and certain other items related to the Lands&#146; End business which are currently held by Sears Holdings, primarily the Lands&#146; End Shops at Sears. These items will be contributed by Sears
Holdings to Lands&#146; End, Inc. prior to the Separation. These historical Condensed Combined Financial Statements reflect our financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States (&#147;GAAP&#148;). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Condensed Combined Financial Statements include the allocation of certain assets and
liabilities that have historically been held at the Sears Holdings level but which are specifically identifiable or allocable to Lands&#146; End. All intracompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. All intercompany transactions between
Sears Holdings and Lands&#146; End are considered to be effectively settled in the Condensed Combined Financial Statements at the time the transactions are recorded. The total net effect of the settlement of these intercompany transactions is
reflected in the Condensed Combined Statements of Cash Flows as a financing activity and in the Condensed Combined Balance Sheets as Net parent company investment. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As business operations of Sears Holdings, we do not maintain our own tax and certain other corporate support functions. We expect to enter
into agreements with Sears Holdings for the continuation of certain of these services. These expenses have been allocated to Lands&#146; End based on direct usage or benefit where identifiable, with the remainder allocated on a pro rata basis of
revenue, headcount, square footage or other </P>

measures. Lands&#146; End considers the expense allocation methodology and results to be reasonable for all periods presented. However, the costs and allocations charged to the Company by Sears
Holdings do not necessarily reflect the costs of obtaining the services from unaffiliated third parties or of the Company providing the applicable services itself. The condensed combined interim financial information contained herein may not be
indicative of the Company&#146;s financial position, operating results and cash flows in the future, or what they would have been if it had been a standalone company during all periods presented. See Note 5&#151;Related Party. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Historically, Sears Holdings has provided financing, cash management and other treasury services to us. Our cash balances are swept by Sears
Holdings and historically, we have received funding from Sears Holdings for our operating and investing cash needs. Cash and restricted cash held by Sears Holdings were not allocated to Lands&#146; End unless the cash or restricted cash were held by
an entity that will be transferred to Lands&#146; End. Sears Holdings&#146; third-party debt and the related interest expense has not been allocated to us for any of the periods presented as we were not the legal obligor of the debt and the Sears
Holdings borrowings were not directly attributable to our business. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>NOTE 2. INCOME TAXES </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Lands&#146; End and Sears Holdings will enter into a tax sharing agreement (the &#147;Tax Sharing Agreement&#148;) prior to the Separation
which will generally govern Sears Holdings&#146; and Lands&#146; End&#146;s respective rights, responsibilities and obligations after the Separation with respect to liabilities for U.S. federal, state, local and foreign taxes attributable to the
Lands&#146; End business. In addition to the allocation of tax liabilities, the Tax Sharing Agreement will address the preparation and filing of tax returns for such taxes and disputes with taxing authorities regarding such taxes. Generally, Sears
Holdings will be liable for all pre-separation U.S. federal, state and local income taxes. Lands&#146; End generally will be liable for all other income taxes attributable to its business, including all foreign taxes.</P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As of November 1, 2013, the Company had gross unrecognized tax benefits (&#147;UTBs&#148;) of $8.6 million. Of this amount, $5.6 million
would, if recognized, impact the effective tax rate with the remaining amount being comprised of unrecognized tax benefits related to gross temporary differences. The Company does not expect that UTBs will fluctuate in the next 12 months for tax
audit settlements and the expiration of the statutes of limitations for certain jurisdictions. Pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement, Sears Holdings will generally be responsible for UTBs through the date of the Separation and, as such, they have
been classified in Net parent company investment on the Condensed Combined Balance Sheets. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company classifies interest expense and
penalties related to UTBs and interest income on tax overpayments as components of income tax expense. As of November 1, 2013, the total amount of interest and penalties recognized on the Condensed Combined Balance Sheet was $4.6 million ($3.0
million net of federal benefit). The total amount of net interest expense recognized in the Condensed Combined Statements of Comprehensive Operations was $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the 39 weeks ended November 1, 2013 and October 26, 2012,
respectively. The Company files income tax returns in both the United States and various foreign jurisdictions. The IRS has completed its examination of the 2008 and 2009 federal income tax returns of Sears Holdings. Sears Holdings is currently
working with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (&#147;IRS&#148;) Appeals Division to resolve a single issue arising from these exams that is unrelated to the Company. Sears Holdings has resolved all matters arising from prior IRS exams. In addition,
the Company is under examination by various state and foreign income tax jurisdictions for the years 2002-2012. </P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>NOTE 3. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL
ASSETS AND LIABILITIES </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company determines fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on the following fair value
hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels: </P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Level 1

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Legal Proceedings </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company is party to
various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. These actions include commercial, intellectual property, employment, regulatory and product liability claims. Some of these actions involve complex factual and legal issues and
are subject to uncertainties. There are no material legal proceedings presently pending, except for routine litigation incidental to the business to which the Company is a party or of which any of its property is the subject, and the matters
described below. The Company does not believe that the outcome of any current legal proceeding would have a material adverse effect on results of operations, cash flows or financial position taken as a whole. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Beginning in 2005, the Company initiated the first of several claims in Iowa County Circuit Court against the City of Dodgeville to recover
overpaid taxes resulting from the city&#146;s excessive assessment of the Company&#146;s headquarters campus. As of January 10, 2014, the courts reviewing these claims have ordered the city to return, and the city has refunded, over $3.2 million in
excessive taxes and interest to the Company, including approximately $1.6 million for the case involving the 2005 and 2006 tax years that was recognized in 2009, and a partial recovery of approximately $1.6 million for the consolidated cases,
involving the 2007, 2009 and 2010 tax years, recognized in 2013 within Selling and administrative costs in the Condensed Combined Statement of Comprehensive Operations and for which the Company has appealed seeking the remainder of our claim of
$1.2&nbsp;million plus additional interest. In September 2013, the Wisconsin Court of Appeals awarded the Company $725,000 in tax reimbursement plus an as-yet uncalculated amount of interest on the Company&#146;s claim relating to the 2008 tax year,
which the City of Dodgeville has not yet paid and has appealed. Excluding the claim relating to the 2005 and 2006 tax years for which all appeals have been exhausted, the Company believes its outstanding claims covering the still-disputed tax years
from 2007 through 2012 may yield a potential aggregate recovery from the City of Dodgeville of up to $4.6 million, none of which has been recorded in the Condensed Combined Financial Statements. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">While the Company believes all taxes have been paid or accrued based on correct interpretations of applicable law, tax laws are complex and
interpretations differ from state to state. It is possible that taxing authorities may make additional assessments in the future. In addition to taxes, penalties and interest, these assessments could cause the Company to incur legal fees associated
with resolving disputes with taxing authorities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Lands&#146; End and Sears Holdings will enter into a Tax Sharing Agreement prior to the
Separation which will generally govern Sears Holdings&#146; and Lands&#146; End&#146;s respective rights, responsibilities and obligations after the Separation with respect to liabilities for U.S. federal, state, local and foreign taxes attributable
to the Lands&#146; End business. In addition to the allocation of tax liabilities, the Tax Sharing Agreement will address the preparation and filing of tax returns for such taxes and disputes with taxing authorities regarding such taxes. Generally,
Sears Holdings will be liable for all pre-separation U.S. federal, state and local taxes, other than non-income taxes that are accrued and unpaid as of the distribution date. Lands&#146; End generally will be liable for all other taxes attributable
to its business, including all foreign taxes.</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Pledged Assets </B></P>

Company&#146;s assets consisting primarily of the inventory and credit card receivables directly or indirectly owned by the Company and one of its subsidiaries; and (2)&nbsp;guaranteed by the Company and such subsidiary. The asset balances were
$391.6 million, $297.5 million and $416.5 million as of November 1, 2013, February 1, 2013 and October 26, 2012, respectively. The Company expects that this lien and these guarantee obligations will be released prior to the completion of the

restructuring costs related to the reduction of call center staff and streamlining overall business operations. These actions were taken to address consumer needs and the continued growth in digital commerce in the Company&#146;s Direct segment and
were completed in the fourth quarter of 2012 with the overall cost being approximately $2.5 million. These costs were primarily severance and related costs recognized in Selling and administrative expense in the Condensed Combined Statement of
Comprehensive Operations. Approximately $1.6 million of remaining payments were included in Accounts payable in the Condensed Combined Balance Sheet as of October 26, 2012. There were no remaining payments in the Condensed Combined Balance Sheet as
of November 1, 2013. </P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>NOTE 9. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS </B></P>

(&#147;ASU&#148;) 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists, which requires an unrecognized tax benefit to be presented as a reduction to a
deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward that the entity intends to use and is available for settlement at the reporting date. The update will be effective for the Company in the first
quarter of 2014 and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company&#146;s combined financial position, results of operations or cash flows. </P>

currently expects that these conditions will not be satisfied until immediately prior to the distribution. By contrast, the Company expects that the acceptance for listing of the Company&#146;s common stock by NASDAQ will be received shortly before
the record date, and that the Company&#146;s common stock will begin trading on or shortly before the record date on a &#147;when-issued&#148; basis, as set forth in the Information Statement. </P>

predetermined form, and Sears Holdings may waive the condition in its sole discretion. In addition, the Company respectfully advises the Staff that it does not expect the solvency opinion to be finalized and delivered, if at all, until immediately

business activities are managed and evaluated.&nbsp;While we have determined that both segments sell similar products, we have also recognized that the sales process is different between the two operating segments. The Company has concluded that
Direct and Retail are both separate operating segments as each (1)&nbsp;engages in business activities from which the Company earns revenue and incurs expenses, (2)&nbsp;has discrete financial information and (3)&nbsp;has operating results that are
used by the Company&#146;s CODM to make resource decisions and assess performance. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Direct segment</I>: The Direct segment is described
on pages 54, 58, F-23, F-24 and F-40 of the Information Statement. The Company markets its products primarily through direct mail catalogs and email communications. Its customers can then choose from several ordering methods, including purchasing
its products online, by phone or through a mail order, and all such products are delivered directly to customers from the Company&#146;s warehouses. Information used by the CODM to assess performance and allocate resources does not include separate
discrete financial information for the e-commerce and direct mail catalog channels and, as such, the Company has concluded that e-commerce and direct mail catalog sales channels do not meet the definition of separate operating segments. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Retail segment</I>: The Retail segment is described on page 54, 58, F-23, F-24 and F-40 of the Information Statement. This segment
accounted for approximately 12% of the Company&#146;s 2012 combined revenues. There were 279 Lands&#146; End Shops at Sears and 14 Lands&#146; End Inlet Stores at the end of 2012.&nbsp;The Lands&#146; End Inlet Stores account for less than 2% of the
Company&#146;s combined revenue, gross profit, income and assets and separate information about these stores is not included in information used by the CODM to assess performance and allocate resources. </P>
