Form of Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Agreement

 Exhibit 10.23 

PERFORMANCE-BASED RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT 
 This AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) made as of                      (the “Date of
Grant”) by and between MACY’S, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and                      (the
“Grantee”). 
 1. Grant of Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units. Subject to and upon the terms, conditions,
and restrictions set forth in this Agreement and in the Company’s 2009 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”), as amended from time to time, the Company hereby grants to the Grantee a “Target” award of [insert
target number of Performance Units] Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units (“Performance Units”). Each Performance Unit represents the right to receive one share of the common stock of the Company (“Common Stock”), subject
to the terms and conditions set forth below. 
 2. Limitations on Transfer of Performance Units; Performance Period.

 (a) During the Performance Period hereinafter described, the Performance Units may not be transferred, sold,
pledged, exchanged, assigned or otherwise encumbered or disposed of by the Grantee, except to the Company, until they are earned and become nonforfeitable (“Vest”) in accordance with Section 3; provided, however, that the
Grantee’s interest in the Performance Units may be transferred at any time by will or the laws of descent and distribution. 
 (b) The Performance Period shall commence on January 30, 2011 (the “Commencement Date”) and, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, will expire in full on February 1, 2014.

 3. Vesting of Performance Units. 

(a) Subject to potential reduction as set forth in Section 3(b) below, one hundred and fifty percent (150%) of
the Target award of Performance Units will be Vested on the date (“Vesting Date”) that the Compensation Committee certifies that the Company has achieved a Cumulative EBITDA (as defined below) level of at least $7.5 billion over the
Performance Period, provided that the Grantee is continuously employed by the Company through the Vesting Date. If the Company does not achieve a Cumulative EBITDA level of at least $7.5 billion over the Performance Period, then all Performance
Units are forfeited as of the end of the Performance Period. In all cases the Compensation Committee shall certify whether the Company has achieved the specified level of Cumulative EBITDA as soon as administratively feasible following the end of
the Performance Period but in no event later than two and a half months following the end of the Performance Period. 
 (i) “Cumulative EBITDA” is defined as Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization, which is equal to the sum of operating income and depreciation and amortization as reported
in the Company’s financial statements included in its annual Form 10-K, adjusted to eliminate the effects of asset impairments, restructurings, acquisitions, divestitures, other unusual or non-recurring items, store closing costs, and the
cumulative effect of tax or accounting changes, as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, as applicable. 

  
 1 

 (b) The actual number of Performance Units that become Vested based on
achieving the level of Cumulative EDITDA during the Performance Period may be reduced by the Compensation Committee in its sole and absolute discretion based on such factors as the Compensation Committee determines to be appropriate and/or advisable
including without limitation the Company’s achievement of EBITDA Margin and Return on Invested Capital (“ROIC”) goals for the Performance Period. It is the current intention of the Compensation Committee that the Compensation
Committee will exercise its discretion to reduce the number of Performance Units that will Vest based on the Company’s achievement of the EBITDA Margin and ROIC goals during the Performance Period, weighted 70% and 30% respectively, as set
forth in the following schedule. However, the Compensation Committee reserves the right to deviate from such schedule based on achievement of EBITDA Margin and ROIC and may adjust the number of Performance Units that Vest based on such other factors
as the Compensation Committee in its sole and absolute discretion determines to be appropriate and/or advisable; provided, however, that it is the intention of the Compensation Committee that it will deviate from such EBITDA Margin and ROIC schedule
only in extreme and unusual circumstances.

	*	Straight-line interpolation will apply to performance levels between the ones shown. 

(i) “EBITDA Margin” is defined as EBITDA (adjusted to eliminate the effects of asset impairments,
restructurings, acquisitions, divestitures, other unusual or non-recurring items, store closing costs, and the cumulative effect of tax or accounting changes, as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, as applicable)
divided by Net Sales (defined as owned sales as presented in the Company’s internal books and records, including the business plan for the performance period). EBITDA Margin will be measured on a three-year average basis (i.e., the average of
fiscal 2011, fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2013 annual EBITDA Margin). 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any
Performance Restricted Stock Unit Agreement previously entered into between the Company and the Grantee covering the grant of performance restricted stock units by the Company to the Grantee, all such Performance Restricted Stock Unit Agreements
shall be deemed to define Net Sales in the same manner as Net Sales are defined herein. 
 (ii) “Return on
Invested Capital” is defined as EBITDAR divided by Total Average Gross Investment. EBITDAR is equal to the sum of EBITDA (adjusted to eliminate the effects of asset impairments, restructurings, acquisitions, divestitures, other unusual or
non-recurring items, store closing costs, and the cumulative effect of tax or accounting changes, as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, as applicable) plus Net Rent Expense. Net Rent Expense represents rent
expense as reported in the Company’s financial statements included in its Form 10-K less the deferred rent amortization related to contributions received from landlords. Total Average Gross Investment is equal to the sum of Gross Property,
Plant and Equipment (PPE) plus Capitalized Value of Non-Capitalized Leases, plus Working Capital – which includes Receivables, Merchandise Inventories, Supplies and Prepaid Expenses – offset by Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities,
plus Other Assets, each as reported in the Company’s financial statements in the applicable Form 10-K or Form 10-Q. Gross PPE will be determined using a two-point average (i.e., beginning and end of year). Capitalized Value of Non-Capitalized
Leases will be calculated as 8 x Net Rent Expense. Working Capital components 

  
 2 

 
and Other Assets will be determined using a four-point (i.e., quarterly) average. ROIC will be measured on a three-year average basis (i.e., the average of fiscal 2011, fiscal 2012 and fiscal
2013 annual ROIC). 
 4. Forfeiture of Performance Units. (a) Termination of Employment. Notwithstanding the
provisions of Section 3 above, and except as the Board may determine on a case-by-case basis or as provided below, all unvested Performance Units shall be forfeited if the Grantee ceases to be continuously employed by the Company for any reason
at any time prior to the end of the Performance Period. For the purposes of this Agreement the continuous employment of the Grantee with the Company shall not be deemed to have been interrupted, and the Grantee shall not be deemed to have ceased to
be an employee of the Company, by reason of the transfer of the Grantee’s employment among the Company and its Subsidiaries, divisions or affiliates or a leave of absence approved by the Company. In the event of a termination for cause (as
hereafter defined), all unvested Performance Units shall be immediately forfeited. 
 (b) Death, disability or
retirement. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3 above, and except as the Board may determine on a case-by-case basis or as provided below, in the event the Grantee retires on or after age 62 with at least 10 years of service, dies
or becomes permanently and totally disabled during the Performance Period, the Grantee (or his or her estate, as appropriate) will receive at the end of the Performance Period the percentage of Performance Units determined under Section 3
above, prorated from the Commencement Date through the date of such retirement, death or disability based on the number of completed months of service during the Performance Period divided by 36. 

(c) Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control (as hereafter defined), Performance Units will convert
to time-based restricted stock without proration for the percentage of the Performance Period that has elapsed since the Commencement Date, as follows: 
 (i) If the Change in Control occurs prior to the 24-month anniversary of the Commencement Date, then 100% of the Target award number of Performance Units shall convert to time-based restricted stock;

 (ii) If the Change in Control occurs after the 24-month anniversary of the Commencement Date, the conversion
of Performance Units to time-based restricted stock will be based on the Company’s performance determined under Section 3 above from the Commencement Date through the first 24 months of the Performance Period, plus the Company’s
performance determined under Section 3 above during any completed fiscal quarter thereafter to the date of the Change in Control. 
 (iii) The vesting of the time-based restricted stock as so converted: 
  

	 	•	 	 Will be accelerated if, within the 24-month period following the Change in Control, the Grantee is terminated by the Company or the continuing entity
without cause or if the Grantee voluntarily terminates employment with Good Reason; 

  

	 	•	 	 Will be accelerated at the Change in Control if awards are not assumed or replaced by the acquiror/continuing entity on terms deemed by the
Compensation Committee to be appropriate; and 

  

	 	•	 	 Will occur on the third anniversary of the Date of Grant, if Vesting has not otherwise been accelerated as provided above.

 5. Dividend, Voting and Other Rights. Except as otherwise provided herein, prior to Vesting the
Grantee shall not have any of the rights of a stockholder with respect to the Performance 

  
 3 

 
Units, including the right to vote any of the Performance Units. An amount representing dividends payable on shares of Common Stock equal in number to one hundred and fifty percent (150%) of
the Target award of Performance Units on a dividend record date shall be deemed reinvested in Common Stock and credited to the Grantee as restricted stock units as of the dividend payment date. If there is any change in the outstanding Common Stock
of the Company by reason of a stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, separation or reorganization or any other change in the capital structure of the Company, the Compensation Committee shall
determine the appropriate adjustment to the Performance Units, if any, needed to reflect such change. Any restricted stock units or additional Performance Units credited to the Grantee pursuant to this Section 5 will be subject to the terms and
restrictions set forth in this Agreement. 
 6. Settlement of Performance Units. As soon as administratively feasible
following the end of the Performance Period and certification by the Compensation Committee as to the level of achievement of the Cumulative EBITDA performance goal and, if the Compensation Committee exercises its discretion to reduce the number of
Performance Units that will Vest, determination of the level of achievement of the applicable EBITDA Margin and ROIC performance goals, but in no event later than two and a half months after the end of the Performance Period, the Company shall cause
to be paid to the Grantee: 
 (i) a number of shares of unrestricted Common Stock equal to the number of
Performance Units to which the Grantee is entitled, with a cash component representing fractional shares, if any, plus 
 (ii) a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of restricted stock units attributed to earned dividend equivalents on those Performance Units, with a cash component representing fractional
shares, if any. 
 Such shares of Common Stock shall be credited as book entry shares to the Grantee’s trading account, unless the Grantee
requests stock certificates, in which case the Company shall deliver to the Grantee stock certificates representing such Common Stock. In the event Performance Units are not earned, those Performance Units, and the related restricted stock units
attributed to dividend equivalents on those Performance Units, shall be forfeited. 
 7. Clawback. Any incentive-based
compensation received by Grantee from the Company hereunder or otherwise shall be subject to recovery by the Company in the circumstances and manner provided in any Incentive-Based Compensation Recovery Policy that may be adopted or implemented by
the Company and in effect from time to time on or after the date hereof, and Grantee shall effectuate any such recovery at such time and in such manner as the Company may specify. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Incentive-Based
Compensation Recovery Policy” means and includes any policy of the type contemplated by Section 10D of the Securities Exchange Act, any rules or regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted pursuant thereto, or any related
rules or listing standards of any national securities exchange or national securities association applicable to the Company. Until the Company shall adopt such an Incentive-Based Compensation Recovery Policy, the following clawback provision shall
apply: 
 In the event that, within three years of the end of the Performance Period, the Company restates its financial results
with respect to the Company’s performance during the Performance Period to correct a material error that the Compensation Committee determines is the result of fraud or intentional misconduct, then the Grantee shall repay to the Company all
income, if any, derived from the Performance Units. 

  
 4 

 8. No Employment Contract. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall confer upon the
Grantee any right with respect to continuance of employment by the Company, or limit or affect in any manner the right of the Company to terminate the employment or adjust the compensation of the Grantee. 

9. Taxes and Withholding. If the Company shall be required to withhold any federal, state, local or foreign tax in connection with
the issuance or Vesting of any Performance Units or the issuance of any unrestricted shares of Common Stock or other securities following Vesting pursuant to this Agreement, it shall be a condition to such Vesting or issuance that the Grantee pay
the tax or make provisions that are satisfactory to the Company for the payment thereof. Unless the Grantee makes alternative arrangements satisfactory to the Company prior to the Vesting of the Performance Units or the issuance of shares of
unrestricted Common Stock, as the case may be, the Grantee will satisfy the minimum statutory tax withholding obligations by surrendering to the Company a portion of the shares of nonforfeitable and unrestricted Common Shares that are issued or
transferred to the Grantee hereunder following the Vesting Date, and the shares of Common Stock so surrendered by the Grantee shall be credited against any such withholding obligation at the Market Value per Share of such shares of Common Stock on
the Vesting Date. 
 10. Compliance with Law. The Company shall make reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable
federal and state securities laws; provided, however, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall not be obligated to issue any Performance Units or shares of unrestricted Common Stock or other securities pursuant to
this Agreement if the issuance thereof would result in a violation of any such law. 
 11. Relation to Other Benefits.
Any economic or other benefit to the Grantee under this Agreement shall not be taken into account in determining any benefits to which the Grantee may be entitled under any profit-sharing, retirement or other benefit or compensation plan maintained
by the Company and shall not affect the amount of any life insurance coverage available to any beneficiary under any life insurance plan covering employees of the Company. 
 12. Amendments. Any Amendment to the Plan shall be deemed to be an amendment to this Agreement to the extent that the amendment is applicable hereto; provided, however, that no amendment shall
adversely affect the rights of the Grantee under this Agreement without the Grantee’s consent. 
 13. Severability.
In the event that one or more of the provisions of this Agreement shall be invalidated for any reason by a court of competent jurisdiction, any provision so invalidated shall be deemed to be separable from the other provisions hereof, and the
remaining provisions hereof shall continue to be valid and fully enforceable. 
 14. Relation to Plan; Miscellaneous.
This Agreement is subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan. In the event of any inconsistent provisions between this Agreement and the Plan, the Plan shall govern. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings
assigned to them in the Plan. All references in this Agreement to the Company shall be deemed to include, unless the context in which it is used suggests otherwise, its subsidiaries, divisions and affiliates. 

15. Successors and Assigns. Subject to Section 2 hereof, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and
be binding upon, the successors, administrators, heirs, legal representatives and assigns of the Grantee and the successors and assigns of the Company. 
 16. Governing Law. The interpretation, performance, and enforcement of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware.

beneficial owner of 30% or more of the Voting Stock as a result of a reduction in the number of shares of Voting Stock outstanding pursuant to a transaction or series of transactions approved by a majority of the Incumbent Board unless and until
such Person thereafter becomes the beneficial owner of any additional shares of Voting Stock, and after obtaining such additional beneficial ownership beneficially owns 30% or more of the Voting Stock, other than as a result of a stock dividend,

 8First Amendment to the Plan regarding matching rate

 Exhibit 10.28.1 

AMENDMENT TO 
 MACY, INC. PROFIT SHARING 401(k) INVESTMENT PLAN 
 The Macy’s, Inc.
Profit Sharing 401(k) Investment Plan (the “Plan”) is hereby amended, effective as of January 1, 2009 and in order to provide for a reduced matching contribution formula with respect to the Plan’s 2009 plan year, in the following
respects. 
 1. Section 6.1 of the Plan is amended in its entirety to read as follows. 

6.1 Annual Amount of Matching Contributions. For each Plan Year which ends after the Effective Amendment Date, the
Employer shall contribute amounts to the Trust in addition to the Savings Contributions elected by Participants for such Plan Year. Such additional contributions shall be referred to in the Plan as “Matching Contributions.” Subject to the
other provisions of the Plan, the amount of Matching Contributions which shall be made by the Employer for any Plan Year which ends after the Effective Amendment Date (for purposes of this Section 6.1, the “subject Plan Year”) shall
be the amount determined under the following subsections of this Section 6.1. 
 6.1.1 Subject to the
provisions of Subsections 6.1.2, 6.1.3, 6.1.4, and 6.1.5 below, the amount of Matching Contributions which shall be made by the Employer for the subject Plan Year shall be equal to 3.5% of the Employer’s net income, as determined for the tax
year of the Employer which begins in the subject Plan Year (before deduction of any Matching Contributions to this Plan and only after excluding the amount of any extraordinary items) by Macy’s chief accounting officer in accordance with the
standard accounting procedures of Macy’s and as so categorized in the financial statements of the Employer. 

6.1.2 In addition to the amount determined under Subsection 6.1.1 above, the Employer shall, subject to the provisions of
Subsections 6.1.3, 6.1.4, 6.1.5, and 6.1.6 below, also make a further amount of Matching Contributions for the subject Plan Year to the extent necessary (and only to the extent necessary) so that the total amount of Matching Contributions made by
the Employer for the subject Plan Year is at least equal to 33-1/3% of the aggregate amount of Basic Savings Contributions made for the subject Plan Year on behalf of all Participants who are Match Eligible Participants for the subject Plan Year (as
such Participants are determined under the provisions of Subsection 7.2.2 below). 
 6.1.3 In addition to the
amounts determined under Subsections 6.1.1 and 6.1.2 above, the Employer may, in its discretion and by resolution or other written action taken by the Board (or any committee of the Board or group of officers of Macy’s to which or whom the
powers described in this Subsection 6.1.3 are delegated by the Board) but also subject to the provisions of Subsections 6.1.4, 6.1.5, and 6.1.6 below, make a further amount of Matching Contributions for the subject Plan Year in any amount it
determines. 

  
 1 

 6.1.4 Subject to the provisions of Subsection 6.1.5 and 6.1.6 below but
notwithstanding any of the foregoing subsections of this Section 6.1, in no event shall the total amount of the Matching Contributions to be made by the Employer for the subject Plan Year under the foregoing subsections of this Section 6.1
be greater than a maximum amount as determined under this Subsection 6.1.4. The maximum amount of the Matching Contributions to be made by the Employer for the subject Plan Year shall be equal to 100% of the aggregate amount of Basic Savings
Contributions made for the subject Plan Year on behalf of all Participants who are Match Eligible Participants for the subject Plan Year (as such Participants are determined under the provisions of Subsection 7.2.2 below). 

6.1.5 Subject to the provisions of Subsection 6.1.6 below but notwithstanding any of the foregoing subsections of this
Section 6.1, when the subject Plan Year is the Plan Year that begins on January 1, 2009, then the amount of the Matching Contributions to be made by the Employer for such subject Plan Year shall not be determined at all under the foregoing
subsections of this Section 6.1 but instead shall be equal to 10% of the aggregate amount of Basic Savings Contributions made for such subject Plan Year on behalf of all Participants who are Match Eligible Participants for such subject Plan
Year (as such Participants are determined under the provisions of Subsection 7.2.2 below). 
 6.1.6 To the extent
permitted by Section 9.5 below, any forfeitures arising during the subject Plan Year shall be used to reduce and be substituted in place of those Matching Contributions which: (i) are otherwise required or determined under the foregoing
subsections of this Section 6.1 for the subject Plan Year; and (ii) also, when the subject Plan Year is not the Plan Year that begins on January 1, 2009, exceed the amount of Matching Contributions which would be made for the subject
Plan Year if such amount were limited to the amount described in Subsection 6.1.1 above. For purposes of the foregoing subsections of this Section 6.1 and also for purposes of Section 7.2 below (which concerns the allocation of Matching
Contributions), any forfeitures (or other amounts) which are used to reduce and substitute for any amount of Matching Contributions for the subject Plan Year shall be considered as if they were such Matching Contributions for the subject Plan Year.

 2. Subsection 6.2.2 of the Plan is amended in its entirety to read as follows. 

6.2.2 The actual amount paid as Matching Contributions for any Plan Year may initially, to the extent determined with
respect to the amount set forth in Subsection 6.1.1 above, be based upon Macy’s net income as estimated by Macy’s chief accounting officer in accordance with data available to him or her at the time the estimate is made. In the event that,
after Macy’s chief accounting officer subsequently determines the final calculation of the amount set forth in Subsection 6.1.1 above, an additional amount is required to be contributed to the Plan by the Employer to meet the required Matching
Contribution provisions of Section 6.1 above, then the Employer will make such additional contribution as soon as possible after such final calculation is completed. In the event that the

  
 2 

 
final calculation of the amount set forth in Subsection 6.1.1 above shows that the Employer made Matching Contributions for the subject Plan Year in excess of the amount required under
Section 6.1 above, the amount by which the actual amount of Matching Contributions which were made exceeds the required Matching Contributions for such Plan Year shall be deemed not to have been made for such Plan Year but instead shall be
deemed made in the next following Plan Year and shall be used as soon as possible to reduce (and to substitute for) the next required Matching Contributions to be made to the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Subsection 6.2.2,
this Subsection 6.2.2 shall not apply at all to the Plan Year that begins on January 1, 2009. 
 3. Subsection 7.2.3 of the
Plan is amended in its entirety to read as follows. 
 7.2.3 The Matching Contributions made to the Trust for any
Plan Year which ends after the Effective Amendment Date (for purposes of this Subsection 7.2.3, the “subject Plan Year”) shall be allocated among the Matching Accounts of the Participants who are Match Eligible Participants for the subject
Plan Year (for purposes of this Subsection 7.2.3, the “Eligible Participants”) in accordance with the following paragraphs of this Subsection 7.2.3. 
 (a) Subject to the provisions of paragraph (d) below, the Matching Contributions made for the subject Plan Year by reason of Section 6.1 above shall first be allocated among the Matching
Accounts of the Eligible Participants in proportion to each Eligible Participant’s Basic Savings Contributions made for the subject Plan Year, until each Eligible Participant’s Matching Account has been allocated 33-1/3% of the Eligible
Participant’s Basic Savings Contributions made for the subject Plan Year. 
 (b) Subject to the provisions
of subparagraphs (1) and (2) of this paragraph (b) and also to the provisions of paragraph (d) below, the portion of any Matching Contributions made for the subject Plan Year that are not allocated in accordance with the
provisions of paragraph (a) above shall be allocated among the Matching Accounts of the Eligible Participants in proportion to each Eligible Participant’s Adjusted Basic Savings Contributions made for the subject Plan Year. 

(1) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph (b), no Eligible Participant’s Matching Account shall
be allocated an amount for the subject Plan Year under this paragraph (b) to the extent that such amount would cause the Eligible Participant’s Matching Account to be allocated in the aggregate under paragraphs (a) and (b) of
this Subsection 7.2.3 more than 100% of the Basic Savings Contributions made for the subject Plan Year by or for such Eligible Participant. 
 (2) Also notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph (b), if the subject Plan Year is the Plan Year ending December 31, 2008, then the Matching Account of any Eligible Participant who
