Item 8.01 Other Events.

On February 1, 2010, Limited Brands, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing the expiration and results of its offer to exchange (the “Exchange Offer”) its new 8.50% Senior Notes due 2019 (the “New Notes”) for its outstanding 8.50% Senior Notes due 2019 (the “Old Notes”).

The Exchange Offer expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on January 29, 2010. The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., the exchange agent for the Exchange Offer, has advised that $500 million aggregate principal amount of the Old Notes were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Exchange Offer, representing 100% of the aggregate principal amount of Old Notes outstanding upon commencement of the Exchange Offer. All of the Old Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn have been accepted for exchange pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Offer.

Pursuant to the Exchange Offer, the Company offered to exchange $1,000 principal amount of the New Notes for each $1,000 principal amount of its outstanding Old Notes, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Company’s prospectus dated December 31, 2009 and the related letter of transmittal. The New Notes are substantially identical to the Old Notes, except that the New Notes have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and will not have any of the transfer restrictions, registration rights and additional interest provisions relating to the Old Notes. The New Notes will evidence the same debt as the Old Notes. The Company expects that settlement of the Exchange Offer will occur on or about February 2, 2010.

A copy of the press release announcing the expiration and results of the Exchange Offer is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1.
