Item 8.01          Other Events.

Dillard’s, Inc. (the “Company” or “Dillard’s”) intends to form a wholly-owned subsidiary that will seek to operate as a real estate investment trust (the “REIT”).  Dillard’s believes the formation of a REIT may enhance its ability to access debt or preferred stock and thereby enhance its liquidity.  It is intended that various Dillard’s entities (the “Dillard’s Parties”) will transfer to the REIT interests in certain real properties (the “Properties”) currently owned by the Dillard’s Parties, who will lease the Properties back from the REIT under “triple net” leases.  

Additionally, the Company has formed a wholly-owned subsidiary that is intended to serve as a captive insurance company (“Captive”).  The Company believes the Captive will allow it to more efficiently manage its risks and to provide access to additional reinsurance markets.

Forward-Looking Information

The foregoing constitutes a "forward-looking statement" within the definition of federal securities laws. The Company cautions that forward-looking statements contained in this report are based on beliefs and assumptions of management and information available to management at the time of such statements and are not guarantees of future events or performance. The Company disclaims any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements based on the occurrence of future events, the receipt of new information, or otherwise. Forward-looking statements of the Company involve risks and uncertainties and are subject to change based on various important factors. Actual future performance, outcomes and results may differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements made by the Company and its management as a result of a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including (without limitation) the failure to satisfy the REIT qualification tests and requirements imposed under the Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, investor perception of the REIT and its effect on the Company, the general economic conditions in the geographic areas in which its real estate interests are located, volatility in insurance claim expenses, increase in the number or severity of claims for which the captive insurance company insures, actual losses and claims exceeding historical and actuarial estimates and changes in insurance regulations.
