competition provisions that operate during the term of employment and for 24 months thereafter (or, for Mr. Klinger, for up to 24 months thereafter), and to confidentiality provisions during and after employment. Benefits under the employment agreements, the severance plans, and SERP; benefits under LRPIP following special service retirement; and benefits attributable to employer credits at or above certain designated executive levels under the ESP (including additional performance-based credits previously earned by Mr. Herrman) are also conditioned on compliance with restrictive covenants. Upon a change of control, our NEOs would no longer be subject to any covenant not to compete following a termination of employment. Each NEO has also acknowledged our clawback policy, which continues to apply to executive officers following a termination of employment for any reason.

#### 2025 Proxy Statement53

#### Compensation Tables
The agreements and plans include terms designed to comply with the deferred compensation provisions of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (Section 409A), including provisions that would delay certain termination-related benefits for six months beyond termination of employment and alternative payment provisions that could apply in connection with a change of control not described in Section 409A.

The following table sets forth aggregate estimated payment obligations to each of our NEOs, assuming that the triggering events had occurred on February 1, 2025, all pursuant to the terms of TJX’s plans and each executive’s employment-related agreement as in effect on such date.
