 the Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for overseeing, reviewing, and approving any transaction in which, in addition to TJX, any of our directors, director nominees, executive officers (or their immediate family members), or any greater than 5% shareholders (or their immediate family members) is a participant and has a direct or indirect material interest, as provided under SEC rules. In the course of reviewing potential related person transactions, the Corporate Governance Committee considers the nature of the related person’s interest in the transaction; the presence of standard prices, rates, or charges or terms otherwise consistent with arms-length dealings with unrelated third parties; the materiality of the transaction to each party; the reasons for TJX entering into the transaction with the related person; the potential effect of the transaction on the status of a director as an independent, outside, or disinterested director or committee member; and any other factors the Corporate Governance Committee may deem relevant. Our Corporate Secretary’s office is primarily responsible for the design and oversight of processes and procedures for screening potential transactions and providing information to the Corporate Governance Committee. The following individuals were employed by the Company during FY25 and received compensation for FY25 and the beginning of FY26 in approximately the following amounts: two adult children of Peter Benjamin ($202,312 and $127,872); an adult child and the spouse of an adult child of Kenneth Canestrari ($209,637 and $248,119); an adult child of Louise Greenlees ($216,762); and an adult child of Ms. Meyrowitz ($307,484). Compensation for these individuals was consistent with other Associates at their levels and responsibilities. They also participated in Company benefit plans, consistent with similarly situated Associates. Our Corporate Governance Committee discussed and approved these transactions, consistent with our review process described above.
