We represented Nordstrom in connection with its simultaneous (i) private placement of $400 million of 5.00% Senior Notes due 2044 (the “New Notes”) and (ii) offer to exchange its outstanding 7.00% Senior Notes due 2038 for up to an additional $300 million in New Notes. In addition, we represented Nordstrom in connection with the subsequent registration of the New Notes with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in a registered A/B Exchange Offer. In our capacity as issuer counsel, we drafted the private placement memorandum, negotiated the initial purchases of the New Notes, and negotiated the terms of the registration rights provided to the holders of the New Notes. In addition, we drafted the SEC Form S-4 registration statement relating to the exchange of the securities for the New Notes, and responded to SEC staff comments with respect to that registration statement.
