TSR results are provided to you via e-mail on a quarterly basis during the
fiscal year. The periodic TSR communication shows you how Nordstrom stock
is performing in relation to our retail comparator group for each PSU grant,
and the progress that has been made toward earning your PSUs.  Final vesting
of PSUs will be determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors and based on the actual TSR measured at the end of the performance
cycle.

Please keep this Notice for your records.
