KOHL’S CORPORATION
SUPPLEMENT NO. 1 DATED MAY 1, 2025 TO THE PROXY STATEMENT
OF
KOHL’S CORPORATION
DATED MARCH 28, 2025
Dear Shareholders of Kohl’s Corporation:
This supplement (the “Supplement”) supplements the proxy statement dated March 28, 2025 (the “Definitive Proxy Statement”) of Kohl’s Corporation (“Kohl’s” or the “Company”) furnished to the holders of the Company’s common stock in connection with the solicitation of proxies on behalf of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) for use at the 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “2025 Annual Meeting”) to be held on May 14, 2025 at 8:00 a.m. Central Time exclusively online via a live interactive webcast on the internet. The record date for the determination of the holders of Common Stock who are entitled to notice and to vote at the 2025 Annual Meeting is March 12, 2025, which is the same record date specified in the Definitive Proxy Statement. Except as described in this Supplement, the information provided in the Definitive Proxy Statement continues to apply and should be considered in voting your shares. To the extent that information in this Supplement differs from or updates information contained in the Definitive Proxy Statement, the information in this Supplement is more current and supersedes the information in the Definitive Proxy Statement.
Withdrawal of Nominee for Election as Director
On April 30, 2025, the Company terminated Ashley Buchanan’s employment with the Company. In accordance with the terms of his executive compensation agreement, he is no longer a member of the Board. In light of this action, the Board reduced the size of the Board from twelve to eleven Directors and is withdrawing its nomination of Mr. Buchanan for election as a director at the 2025 Annual Meeting. Therefore, only nine directors will be standing for re-election.
Effective immediately upon the close of the Annual Meeting, the size of our Board of Directors will be reduced from eleven to nine Directors.
Voting Matters
Proxies received in respect of the election of Mr. Buchanan will not be voted with respect to his election, but will continue to be voted as directed or otherwise as set forth therein and described in the Definitive Proxy Statement with respect to all other matters properly brought before the Annual Meeting. If you have not yet returned your proxy card or submitted your voting instructions, please complete the card or submit instructions, disregarding the nomination of Mr. Buchanan for re-election as a director. Information regarding how to vote your shares is available in the Definitive Proxy Statement.
No changes have been made to the record date or any other proposals to be brought before the 2025 Annual Meeting. If you have already submitted a proxy and do not wish to change your vote, you do not need to take any further action and your shares will be voted as originally directed by you, except as specified above.
