THE NEIMAN MARCUS GROUP, INC. ANNOUNCES COMPLETION OF CONSENT SOLICITATION

DALLAS, Texas, August 15, 2006 - The Neiman Marcus Group, Inc. (the "Company") announced today the successful completion of the previously announced consent solicitation relating to its 7.125% Senior Debentures due 2028 (the "Debentures"), CUSIP No. 640240AB9. A supplemental indenture implementing the amendment approved by the consent solicitation was executed on August 14, 2006 (which is the "Effective Time" for the consent solicitation, as that term was used in the consent solicitation statement dated August 2, 2006).

The supplemental indenture amends the reporting covenant in the indenture under which the Debentures were issued to make it consistent with the reporting covenant in the Company's other outstanding public debt indentures. Under the amendment, for so long as the Company's parent, Neiman Marcus, Inc. ("NMI") continues to be a guarantor of the Debentures, the Company's reporting obligations under the indenture will be satisfied provided that NMI files specified reports with the SEC and NMI's filings include specified financial information concerning the Company.

Goldman, Sachs & Co. acted as Solicitation Agent for the consent solicitation and Global Bondholder Services Corporation acted as the Information Agent.

The Neiman Marcus Group, Inc. operations include the Specialty Retail Stores segment and the Direct Marketing segment. The Specialty Retail Stores segment consists primarily of Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman stores. The Direct Marketing segment conducts both online and print catalog operations under the Neiman Marcus, Horchow, and Bergdorf Goodman brand names. Information about Neiman Marcus can be accessed at www.neimanmarcusgroup.com.
