Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires that our directors and executive officers and persons who own more than 10 percent of any
class of our common stock to file with the SEC an initial report of ownership on a Form 3 and reports of changes in ownership on a Form 4 or a Form 5.
Persons subject to Section 16 are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms that they file. Certain forms of indirect
ownership and ownership of our stock by certain family members are covered under these reporting requirements. As a matter of practice, the executive
officers and directors are assisted by us in preparing initial ownership reports and reporting ownership changes.
Based solely on a review of the copies of such forms furnished to us, and on written representations from certain reporting persons, we believe that in
fiscal year 2005, our directors, executive officers and greater than 10 percent beneficial owners met all Section 16(a) filing requirements.

The Board has adopted The Neiman Marcus Group, Inc. Code of Ethics and Conduct which is applicable to all our directors, officers and employees, as
well as a separate Code of Ethics for Financial Professionals that applies to all financial employees including the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial
Officer and the Principal Accounting Officer. Both the Code of Ethics and Conduct and the Code of Ethics for Financial Professionals may be accessed
