Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders

On August 15, 2006, The Neiman Marcus Group, Inc. (the "Company"), issued a press release announcing the successful completion of the previously announced consent solicitation relating to its 7.125% Senior Debentures due 2028 (the "Debentures"), CUSIP No. 640204AB9. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1.

To implement the amendment approved in the consent solicitation, the Company and The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A. (the "Trustee") entered into a Second Supplemental Indenture (the "Supplemental Indenture"), dated as of August 14, 2006, to the Indenture (as amended and supplemented, the "Indenture"), dated as of May 27, 1998, between the Company and the Trustee, as successor trustee.

The Supplemental Indenture amends the Indenture's reporting covenant 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.

A copy of the Supplemental Indenture is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1.
