Explanation of Responses:
1. Upon the vesting of restricted stock units granted to the reporting person on August 25, 2008, the reporting person deferred the receipt of 32,306 shares of common stock and received instead 32,306 deferred share units. As a result, the reporting person is reporting the disposition of 32,306 shares of common stock in exchange for an equal number of deferred share units.
2. Each deferred share unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of Limited Brands, Inc. common stock.
3. The deferred share unit is fully vested and will be delivered to the reporting person upon termination of employment with Limited Brands, Inc.
4. Total holdings include deferred share units acquired in exempt dividend reinvestment transactions.
5. Option vests 1/3 per year beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant.
Remarks:
This Form 4 is being amended to show deferral of receipt of restricted stock as deferred stock units.
