ITEM 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

This amended Current Report on Form 8-K/A amends Item 5.02 of the Current Report on Form 8-K dated February 23, 2011, filed by Nordstrom, Inc. (the “Company”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 28, 2011 relating to compensatory arrangements of the Company’s five Named Executive Officers (the “NEOs”) as set forth in the Company’s proxy statement dated April 8, 2010. The number of stock options to be awarded was to be determined pursuant to an established formula, but at the time of the filing of the Current Report on Form 8-K not all inputs for that formula were available, and for that reason the number of stock options actually awarded was indeterminable. This amended Current Report on Form 8-K/A is being filed to provide this information.

As previously reported in the Form 8-K, on February 23, 2011 the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of the Company awarded stock option grants, effective February 25, 2011, to the Company’s five NEOs. The exercise price of these stock options was $45.49, the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on February 25, 2011. The number of stock options awarded to each of the NEOs is provided in the table below.
