(Reuters) - Nordstrom Inc (NYSE:JWN) Chief Financial Officer Anne Bramman will step down in December, the U.S. upscale retailer said on Monday, a month after the company adopted a "poison pill" to prevent investors from amassing 10% or more of its shares.

Poison pills make a takeover more expensive or difficult by allowing existing shareholders to buy shares at a discount, diluting a suitor's ownership stake.

The company has launched the search for a new finance chief, while Michael Maher, Nordstrom's senior vice president and chief accounting officer, will assume the role of interim CFO.
