Sears Holdings Names New SVP Finance as CFO-Elect
Michael D. Collins expected to become Sears Holdings Next Chief Financial Officer

HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill. -- Sears Holdings Corporation (NASDAQ: SHLD) announced that Michael D. Collins joined the company today as senior vice president, finance. The Company expects that Mr. Collins will succeed J. Miles Reidy as Sears Holdings' chief financial officer prior to the end of the 2008 fiscal year. Mr. Reidy, who intends to step down later in the year as the Company's CFO in order to attend to a family issue, will work with Collins to facilitate an orderly transition.

Collins most recently was the Senior Vice President, Planning & Analysis, at General Electric Corporation's NBC Universal Division. Previously, he worked in a variety of finance positions in his eighteen year career at GE. Collins graduated from the University of Pennsylvania, with a BS in Economics, majoring in accounting. Collins, who is a C.P.A., began his career at Arthur Andersen & Co.

"We welcome Mike to our company," said Bruce Johnson, interim CEO and president. "We have asked him to continue to build a rigorous and analytic finance function. With our new operating model, we need to ensure that our business unit leaders have the detailed information and finance support to drive effective decision-making."

Bruce added, "We appreciate and respect Miles' decision to focus on his family. We wish him and his family well, and thank him for his contributions to our company. We will particularly miss Miles' thoughtful advice and passion for analytic clarity."

Miles Reidy said, "I consider myself to have been very fortunate to have had the opportunity to be the CFO of Sears Holdings. I am very confident that Mike Collins will continue to enhance the business acumen and financial discipline of the company."
