Item 5.02  Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers.
 
(d)  On January 30, 2014, Stephen D. Steinour was appointed to the Board of Directors of L Brands, Inc. (the “Company”).  With the appointment of Mr. Steinour, the Company’s Board now consists of twelve directors.

Mr. Steinour has not been named to any committees of the Board at this time.  The Board has determined that Mr. Steinour is independent in accordance with the applicable New York Stock Exchange standards and the Company’s corporate governance guidelines.

Mr. Steinour currently serves as the Chairman, President & Chief Executive Officer of Huntington Bancshares Incorporated (together with its subsidiaries, “Huntington”).  Huntington provides certain lending, deposit and similar banking services to the Company, and in connection with those services, the Company paid Huntington aggregate fees of approximately $500,000 during fiscal year 2013.  Any loans made by Huntington to the Company during fiscal year 2013 were made in the ordinary course of business, were made on substantially the same terms as those prevailing at the time for comparable loans with persons not related to the Company and did not involve more than the normal risk of collectability or present other unfavorable features.

Mr. Steinour will receive compensation as a director in accordance with the Company’s ordinary course director compensation practices.

A copy of the press release announcing Mr. Steinour’s appointment is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
