CALCULATION OF FILING FEE
===============================================================================
Transaction Valuation* Amount of Filing Fee**

===============================================================================
* Estimated for purposes of calculating the amount of the filing fee

offer price of $62.00 less $30.13, which is the average exercise price
per share, multiplied by 2,804,051, the estimated number of options
outstanding.
** The amount of the filing fee, calculated in accordance with Section

This Amendment No. 4 (the "Amendment") amends and supplements the
Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (the "Statement"), originally filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on May 17,
2002, as amended, by Inlet Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the
"Purchaser"), and Sears, Roebuck and Co., a New York corporation ("Sears"),
relating to the Purchaser's offer to purchase all of the outstanding shares
of common stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Shares"), of Lands' End,
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), at a purchase price of $62.00
per share, net to the seller in cash. The terms and conditions of the offer
are described in the Offer to Purchase, dated May 17, 2002 (the "Offer to
Purchase"), as amended, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit (a)(1)(A) to
the Statement, and the related Letter of Transmittal and the instructions
thereto, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit (a)(1)(B) to the Statement
(which, as they may be amended or supplemented from time to time, together
constitute the "Offer").
Item 7. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
Item (a) of Item 7 is hereby amended and supplemented to include the
following:
The following paragraph is added to page 14 of the Offer to Purchase
under the caption "9. Source and Amount of Funds." after the text added
pursuant to Amendment No. 2 to the Statement, filed with the Commission on
May 29, 2002:
"On June 13, 2002, SRFG, Inc. ("SRFG"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sears,
issued and sold certificates representing interests in Sears Credit Account
Master Trust II, a master trust that holds Sears credit card receivables
(the "Master Trust"), as follows: $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount
of certificates accruing interest at a floating annual rate of one-month
LIBOR plus 0.29%, with principal scheduled to be paid on May 15, 2012, and
$40,500,000 aggregate principal amount of certificates accruing interest at
a floating annual rate of one-month LIBOR plus 0.67%, with principal
scheduled to be paid on June 15, 2012 (collectively, the "Certificates").
The interest payment dates on the Certificates are the 15th of each month
beginning in July 2002. The net proceeds from the issuance and sale of the
Certificates, before expenses, are $539,419,000. Repayments of principal
and interest on the Certificates will be the sole responsibility of the
Master Trust, which will fund such repayments from collections on the
credit card receivables held by the Master Trust. Sears, through
intercompany borrowing arrangements with SRFG and SRAC, will use portions
of the proceeds of the sale of the Certificates, along with the proceeds of
the sale of the Notes and of commercial paper in the ordinary course by
SRAC, to finance the Offer and the Merger."
