Explanation of Responses:

(1)

Option granted pursuant to The Neiman Marcus Group, Inc. 1997 Incentive Plan, which includes tax withholding rights. Option vests on the third anniversary date of the grant and expires six years from the date of grant.
   

(2)

In an effort to provide timely disclosure, the Reporting Person mistakenly reported on a Form 4 filed on September 24, 2002 the acquisition of a derivative security (entitled in such Form 4 as a "Right to Receive Purchased Restricted Stock or Nonqualified Stock Option"). Because neither the quantity nor the price of the securities to be acquired had been determined with respect to such reported transaction, there was no derivative security, and as a result, no disclosure was required.
