We discovered in January 2014 that malicious software (malware) was clandestinely installed on our computer systems. In fiscal year 2015 and the
thirty-nine weeks ended August 2, 2014, we incurred investigative, legal and other expenses in connection with a cyber-attack. We expect to incur ongoing
costs related to the cyber-attack for the foreseeable future. Such expenses are not currently estimable but could be material to our future results of operations.
In the third quarter of fiscal year 2014, we sold our prior investment in an Asian e-commerce retailer, which was previously accounted for under the
equity method, for $35.0 million, which amount equaled the carrying value of our investment.
2028 Debentures. All of NMG’s obligations under the 2028 Debentures are guaranteed by the Company. The guarantee by the Company is full and
unconditional and is subject to automatic release if the requirements for legal defeasance or covenant defeasance of the 2028 Debentures are satisfied, or if
NMG’s obligations under the indenture governing the 2028 Debentures are discharged. Currently, the Company’s non-guarantor subsidiaries under the 2028
Debentures consist principally of (i) Bergdorf Goodman, Inc., through which we conduct the operations of our Bergdorf Goodman stores, (ii) NM Nevada
Trust, which holds legal title to certain real property and intangible assets used by NMG in conducting its operations and (iii) NMG Germany GmbH, through
which we conduct the operations of MyTheresa.
