Note: On April 4, 2014, Sears Holdings Corporation (Commission file no. 000-51217) (“Sears Holdings”) distributed 100% of the outstanding shares of common stock of Lands’ End, Inc. (“Lands’ End”) to Sears Holdings’ stockholders, as a result of which, Lands’ End separated from Sears Holdings. The Lands’ End, Inc. Retirement Plan (the “Plan”) subsequently terminated the option to invest in shares of Sears Holdings common stock under the Plan. Accordingly, registration of interests in the Plan under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, is not required. On June 13, 2014, Sears Holdings filed Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form S-8 (No. 333-169747) for the purpose of removing from registration the shares of Sears Holdings common stock and Plan interests not sold pursuant to such registration statement. As of the date of this certification/notice, fewer than 300 Plan participants hold investments in the Plan’s Sears Holdings common stock fund.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Lands’ End, Inc. Retirement Plan has caused this certification/notice to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned duly authorized person.
