Item 5.02

Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On March 25, 2024, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Kohl’s Corporation (the “Company”) amended and restated the Company’s Annual Incentive Plan (the “Annual Incentive Plan”), which amends and restates the Annual Incentive Plan, adopted as of February 28, 2007 (the “Prior Plan”). The Annual Incentive Plan is intended to establish a correlation between the annual incentives awarded to its participants and the financial performance of the Company.

Under the Prior Plan, (i) participants were limited to the Company’s named executive officers and any other associates designated by the Compensation Committee; (ii) the performance goals contemplated for awards were one or more of comparable store sales, net income, net income per share, net sales, operating income, or return on investment; (iii) awards were based on a percentage of each participant’s salary; and (iv) there were a number of terms and conditions and limitations on the awards related in primary part to satisfying the performance-based compensation rules of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code Section of 1986, as amended (“Section 162(m)”).

Under the amended Annual Incentive Plan, (i) participants include executive officers or any other associates of the Company designated by either the Compensation Committee or the Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”) of the Company; (ii) the Compensation Committee is permitted to grant awards based in part on any financial or performance measures as determined by the Compensation Committee; (iii) awards are based on a percentage of each participant’s salary or other fixed amount in some cases; (iv) for participants other than executive officers, the CEO may determine whether and to what extent awards may be adjusted subject to other payout criteria, including individual performance, line of business performance and/or location performance; and (v) many terms and conditions and limitations on the awards that were related to Section 162(m) were removed in light of the regulatory changes that eliminated the performance-based compensation exception to Section 162(m) in late 2017.

The foregoing description of the Annual Incentive Plan does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Annual Incentive Plan, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 to this filing and is incorporated herein by reference.
