The Selling Stockholders (the “Selling Stockholders”) named herein may offer from time to time up to 17,117,343 shares of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), in amounts, at prices and on terms to be determined at the time of sale. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the shares of Common Stock being sold by the Selling Stockholders, but we have agreed to pay certain registration expenses. In particular, the Selling Stockholders have agreed to bear their own fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the registration of any shares of Common Stock. Pursuant to an expense reimbursement letter, the Selling Stockholders have agreed to equally share the fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Company, subject to a $25,000 deductible, in connection with the registration of any shares of Common Stock. See “Use of Proceeds” herein.
We have, further to a request from the Selling Stockholders, registered the offering and resale of the shares of Common Stock to allow the Selling Stockholders to sell these shares of Common Stock without restriction in the open market or otherwise, but the registration of the shares of Common Stock does not necessarily mean that the Selling Stockholders will offer or sell their shares of Common Stock. See “Selling Stockholders” herein.
The Selling Stockholders may sell the shares of Common Stock offered hereby directly to purchasers or through underwriters, dealers, brokers or agents designated from time to time. Sales of shares of Common Stock in particular offerings may be made on the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) or in the over-the-counter market or otherwise at prices and on terms then prevailing, at prices related to the then current market price, at fixed prices (which may be changed) or in negotiated transactions. To the extent required for any offering, a supplement to this prospectus (a “prospectus supplement”) will set forth the number of shares of Common Stock then being offered, the initial offering price, the names of any underwriters, dealers, brokers or agents and the applicable sales commission or discount. Any such prospectus supplement will also contain a discussion of the material United States Federal income tax considerations relating to the Common Stock to the extent required and not contained herein. See “Plan of Distribution” herein.
Our Common Stock is traded on the NASDAQ under the symbol “LE.” On March 15, 2022 the last reported sale price of our Common Stock on the NASDAQ was $15.74 per share.

These risks and uncertainties include those risks, uncertainties and factors discussed in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 29, 2021.

| Item 15. | Indemnification of Directors and Officers |
Pursuant to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party to or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of such corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such corporation, or serving at the request of such corporation in such capacity for another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of such corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
The DGCL also permits a corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and expect that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which, such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court shall deem proper.
To the extent a present or former director or officer is successful in the defense of such an action, suit or proceeding, a corporation is required by the DGCL to indemnify such person for actual and reasonable expenses incurred thereby. Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an officer or director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to be so indemnified. Such expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by former directors and officers or other employees and agents of the corporation or by persons serving at the request of the corporation as directors, officers, employees or agents of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the corporation deems appropriate.
II-1
The DGCL provides that the indemnification described above shall not be deemed exclusive of other indemnification that may be granted by a corporation pursuant to its by-laws, disinterested directors’ vote, stockholders’ vote, and agreement or otherwise.
The DGCL also provides corporations with the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation in a similar capacity for another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him or her against such liability as described above.

(the “Bylaws”) requires the Registrant to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any director or officer of the Registrant who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person for whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the Registrant or, while a director or officer of the Registrant, is or was serving at the request of the Registrant as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to employee benefit plans (each, a “Proceeding”), against all liability, loss suffered and expenses (including attorney’s fees) reasonably incurred by such person. In general, the Registrant will indemnify such a director or officer who initiates an action, suit or proceeding only if such action, suit or proceeding was authorized by the board of directors of the Registrant.
Each of the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws further requires the Registrant, to the extent not prohibited under applicable law, to pay the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by a director or officer of the Registrant in defending any Proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that, to the extent required by law, such payment of expenses in advance of the final disposition of the Proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by such director or officer to repay all amounts advanced if it should be ultimately determined he or she is not entitled to be indemnified under the terms of the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws, as the case may be, or otherwise.
Pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation, a director of the Company is not liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent prohibited by the DGCL, which currently provides that such limitation of liability is prohibited if (i) such director has breached his or her duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, (ii) such director’s acts or omissions are not in good faith or involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) such director derived an improper personal benefit from the transaction at issue, or (iv) required by Section 174 of the DGCL.
The foregoing statements are subject to the detailed provisions of Sections 102(b)(7) and 145 of the DGCL and the full text of the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws. The indemnification rights conferred by the Registrant are not exclusive of any other right to which persons seeking indemnification may be entitled under any statute, agreement or vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.
The Registrant maintains directors’ and officers’ liability insurance for the benefit of its directors and officers in amounts that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances.

| Item 16. | Exhibits |
The exhibit index at the end of this registration statement identifies the exhibits that are included in this registration statement and are incorporated herein by reference.
| Item 17. | Undertakings. |
| (a) | The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes: |
| (1) | To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement: |
| (i) | To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; |
| (ii) | To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; |
| (iii) | To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement; |
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.
| (2) | That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |
| (3) | To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. |
| (4) | That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser: |
| (i) | Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and |
| (ii) | Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date. |
II-3
| (5) | That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities: |
The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
| (i) | Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; |
| (ii) | Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant; |
| (iii) | The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and |
| (iv) | Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser. |
| (b) | That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |
| (c) | Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. |

Re: Registration Statement on Form S-3
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as special counsel to Lands’ End, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement,” which term does not include any other document or agreement whether or not specifically referred to therein or attached as an exhibit or schedule thereto) to be filed on the date hereof by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), relating to the registration under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (including the rules and regulations thereunder, the “Securities Act”), of 17,117,343 shares (the “Selling Stockholders Shares”) of Company common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) held by ESL Investments, Inc., Edward S. Lampert, ESL Partners, L.P. and RBS Partners, L.P. (collectively, the “Selling Stockholders”), which may be offered and sold from time to time by the Selling Stockholders.
For the purposes of giving the opinion contained herein, we have examined (a) the Registration Statement, (b) the originals, or duplicates or certified or conformed copies, of such corporate records, agreements, documents and other instruments, including the amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Company, each as currently in effect (respectively, the “Certificate of Incorporation” and the “Bylaws”)and (c) resolutions of the board of directors of the Company relating to the issuance and registration of the Selling Stockholders Shares. We have also examined such other documents and instruments as we have deemed relevant and necessary in connection with the opinion set forth below.
March 16, 2022
Page 2
In such examination, we have assumed (a) the authenticity of original documents and the genuineness of all signatures; (b) the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies; (c) the truth, accuracy and completeness of the information, representations and warranties contained in the agreements, records, documents, instruments and certificates we have reviewed; (d) the Registration Statement, and any amendments thereto (including post-effective amendments), will have become effective under the Securities Act; and (e) the Selling Stockholders Shares will be registered and sold in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws and in the manner stated in the Registration Statement. We have also assumed that at or prior to the time of the registration of any Selling Stockholders Shares, there will not have occurred any change in law, the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws, or further action by the Company’s board of directors affecting the validity of the Selling Stockholders Shares. As to any facts material to the opinions expressed herein that we did not independently establish or verify, we have relied and will rely upon statements and representations of officers and other representatives of the Company and others.
We are members of the Bar of the State of New York, and we have not considered, and we express no opinion as to, the laws of any jurisdiction other than the laws of the State of New York, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and the federal securities laws of the United States of America, in each case as in effect on the date hereof.
Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications set forth in this letter, we advise you that, in our opinion, the Selling Stockholders Shares are validly issued, duly authorized, fully paid and nonassessable.
This letter speaks only as of its date and is delivered in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act. We hereby consent to the filing of this letter as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the use of our name under the caption “Legal Matters” in the prospectus included in the Registration Statement. In giving such consent, we do not hereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act, and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder.
| Very truly yours, | |
| /s/ Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz |
